"Well?"

Xu Zhen looked at Ning Shaoyang, dumbfounded.

I thought to myself: "How come there are people like you in the world? How can you be so cowardly as a human being? Just because others hate you, you give up being friends with a beautiful girl?"

She is indeed ignorant in this regard.

Because she has never seen such a man, and has never heard that there is such a man in the world.

The people she came into contact with held her up like stars holding the moon, and tried their best to get in touch with her. There were many cases of jealousy.

She never thought that there would be such a man who would shut her up out of fear of others' hatred.

From her perspective, this was a bit too weird.

When Ning Shaoyang said those words, Qiu Yong and Zhuge Mingzhu couldn't help but smile.

Of course, it's not that obvious.

"He doesn't dare to kill you."

After coming back to her senses, Xu Zhen carefully explained to Ning Shaoyang:

"Although someone from his family is in the Law Enforcement Hall, if he kills an inner disciple for no reason, he himself will have to die, and no one can protect him. You don't have to worry about this."

Then, she reached out and asked Zhuge Mingzhu on the other side:

"Senior Zhuge, do you think this is what happened?"

Zhuge Mingzhu nodded and said: "That's true. No one in the sect dares to act like this."

After a pause, he said again:

"Even if some people dare to mess around, no one dares to mess around with my disciples."

Although his tone was very calm, there was a sense of domineering in it.

There are not many people in the sect who are qualified to say such things, but there is no doubt that she is one of those few people.

Probably even the head would not dare to offend her to death.

Because her sword energy can kill even the leader.

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. No one in the sect dares to bully Senior Zhuge's disciples."

Xu Zhen nodded vigorously and said to Ning Shaoyang:

"Zheng Qingyun is just incompetent and angry. You don't need to care about his opinions."

Ning Shaoyang glanced sideways at Zhuge Mingzhu, with a hint of resentment in his eyes - I finally found a reason to distance myself from her, Master, what are you doing? Don't you know, there are so many

Will a chatty friend delay my cultivation?

Chatty is his current definition of Xu Zhen.

He felt that this girl chattered a lot. Although the two of them had nothing in common, she could always bring up some inexplicable topics to talk to him.

He doesn't like this.

When he turned around, Zhuge Mingzhu also looked at him and said:

"You have to remember one thing. You are my apprentice, Zhuge Mingzhu. You can't embarrass me when you go out. If you are scared out of your wits by a look of hatred from others, don't say you are my apprentice in the future.

, I can’t have such a timid apprentice.”

Ning Shaoyang said oh, as if he understood why Zhuge Mingzhu said this.

Probably because what he said to Xu Zhen would be considered as shrinking and losing her face.

Sure enough, Zhuge Mingzhu said to him next:

"Even if it's just for my sake, you should be good friends with your junior sister Xu, do you understand?"

"I understand, Master."

Ning Shaoyang lowered his head in shame, feeling that he had done something wrong again and had embarrassed his master in public.

Xu Zhen listened to the conversation between their master and apprentice, her face flushed, and she felt very ashamed:

"Oh my god! He actually had to be pressured by his master before he agreed to be friends with me. When did I become such a bad guy?"

This made her feel almost suffocated.

What a shame!

I have always been supported by others, and I have never been embarrassed like this since I was born. This time I lost my face inexplicably from this stupid-looking man.

It made her feel a little resentful and a little unconvinced - Am I that bad? Am I that incapable of your judgment?

However, although her inner thoughts were intense, she always had a smile on her face.

People who have seen the world manage their expressions very well. This is something Ning Shaoyang cannot compare to.

This birthday banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

This is originally a social occasion, not a dining occasion. Everyone strives to communicate with more people in such an occasion.

After all, everyone is busy with their own things at other times. It is quite rare for so many people to get together, and it may not happen once in a hundred years.

If you have such an opportunity, of course you won't waste it.

During the banquet, important consensus was reached on many things.

However, Ning Shaoyang observed carefully and found that few people seemed to be chatting enthusiastically with Zhuge Mingzhu.

Sometimes there were some conversations, but they were all polite greetings. Most of the time, Zhuge Mingzhu was alone, slowly eating or drinking.

Not to mention Ning Shaoyang himself.

The only person chatting with him was Xu Zhen, and he was very reluctant.

He didn't like such an occasion, it made him feel very uncomfortable, and he just hoped it could end as soon as possible.

Suddenly, I missed the time when I was practicing alone in Mingxin Pavilion. No one disturbed me. No matter what I did, I didn't have to worry about losing my composure. How comfortable was that?

When it was really over, I suddenly felt a sense of relief - I could finally leave here.

Before everyone had finished eating, Fang Haoran stood up and said to them:

"Thank you very much for coming to support this bad old man like me. I hope that in a thousand years, I will still be there, and everyone will still be there, and we can gather again. Now that I have eaten enough, I will not accompany you. You

Just enjoy yourself."

After he left, it was no longer interesting for the rest of the people to stay here, but after a while, everyone dispersed.

When Fang Haoran stood up, everyone also stood up. After he left the hall, some people sat down to continue eating and drinking, and some people chose to leave.

Zhuge Mingzhu left relatively early.

After Fang Haoran left the hall, she turned to Ning Shaoyang and said, "Let's go back."

If Ning Shaoyang was granted amnesty, he quickly followed her outside.

"Senior Brother Ning," Xu Zhen called after him, "I will be visiting the Divine Sword Palace in a few days, so please don't avoid me."

Although Ning Shaoyang was very reluctant, Zhuge Mingzhu had already agreed to this matter, and he could not break it, so he just agreed.

On Yu Jian's way back, Zhuge Mingzhu asked him:

"That little girl from the Xu family took the initiative to strike up a conversation with you. Why do you look so indifferent to others?"

Ning Shaoyang blushed and said, "I'm not ignoring her. I don't know how to ignore her. I have nothing to say to her."

"Such a pretty little girl, don't you like it?"

There was even a hint of joking in Zhuge Mingzhu's tone.

This has never happened before when she communicated with Ning Shaoyang.

Ning Shaoyang said: "I don't like it, I only like to practice."

"But she seems to like you quite a bit." Zhuge Mingzhu said.

Ning Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, recalling the way Xu Zhen looked at him, shook his head and said, "No, she doesn't like me."

Someone really liked him.

Therefore, he knows what it looks like to like someone.

Xu Zhen doesn't like him.
