Chapter 721: Habaek’s “Bride”
Having nothing to do during the day, Ling Heng conscientiously acted as a "good tour guide" and took Shi Li on a small tour around the sect.
Turning to the lush and verdant back mountain, Shi Li discovered a towering tree covered with red mountain fruits.
The trees are laden with fruits, sparkling like bright red gems in the morning light.
It looks delicious at first glance.
Shi Li couldn't help but stop, raised his head and looked eagerly at the fruits on the tree.
Ling Heng looked at her, then looked at the fruits on the tree, and waved his hands repeatedly to stop her.
"No, no, this fruit is sour."
How can such red fruit be sour?
Shi Li didn't believe it, but she couldn't question it directly, so she clenched her fist and said confidently, "It's okay, I like sour food."
Ling Heng: ...
Faced with a girl who refused to listen, he had no choice but to let her conduct the experiment herself.
The young man was as nimble as a dragon. He leaped into the air, picked the largest and reddest fruit, and handed it to Shi Li with a helpless look on his face.
This mountain fruit is not big, each one is only the size of a common longan.
Shi Li took the fruit and secretly felt that Ling Heng was a little stingy in this matter.
But it was good enough for them to pick fruits for her to eat in their own territory, so she couldn't be picky. Shi Li wiped the dust off the fruit, raised it to her lips, and took a big bite.
then……
The sourness that hit her made her face wrinkle up and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Ling Heng didn't lie to her at all, the fruits on this tree are really sour!
【Hahaha~】
【Laugh and get rich~】
[The anchor finally paid the price for his greed, hahaha~]
The most helpless and innocent person is Ling Heng.
Looking at the expression on Shi Li's face, he spread out his hands with a little pain, "I told you, the fruits on this tree are always sour."
When he was a child, Lin Chen tricked him into eating it once, and he still remembers the sour taste.
After all, “can eat sour food” was something she said herself, so Shi Li could only bite the bullet and swallow the fruit.
Then, pretending to be calm, he agreed, "It is indeed a bit sour."
"If you want to eat some fruit, I'll go down the mountain and buy you some sweet fruit later."
Ling Heng said, sighed again, and took the sour fruit she had bitten without any disdain, "Don't take this."
Shi Li took advantage of the situation and didn't dare to say anything stupid about being able to eat sour food.
The two were having fun outside, but poor Brother Lin was having a very frustrating time in the sect.
Xie Yuan felt sorry for Fang Qimo for not sleeping well yesterday, so he took her to his room to rest. Then he ordered Lin Chen to tidy up the quilt in the guest room to prevent any hidden needles from being found again.
The weather was very good. Lin Chen sat in the yard with a brocade quilt in his arms, looking frustrated. He felt the quilt cover inch by inch, so carefully that he began to doubt his life.
Shi Li passed by and even heard him muttering in grievance, "This shouldn't be the case. I've been sewing quilts for so many years and have never lost a needle..."
This sad speech made Shi Li feel even more sympathetic towards this senior brother, so he stopped and cautiously asked, "Is there a possibility that someone wants to frame you?"
Lin Chen turned around and looked at Shi Li, like a person awakened from a dream by a word.
"You're right! It must be Fang Qimo who framed me!"
"It's not necessarily you she wanted to frame, but she didn't expect that you were the one who sewed the quilt."
Shi Li looked around and didn't see anyone else, so she reminded him more directly.
Seeing Lin Chen's puzzled expression, he wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Ling Heng.
He went down the mountain at some point and brought back a bamboo basket filled with several kinds of plump and fragrant fruits.
"Lili, it's time to eat some fruit."
Pure natural fruits have a rich aroma, which is completely different from modern fruits that are ripened with pesticides.
Shi Li's attention instantly shifted to the bamboo basket and she walked over happily.
Only Lin Chen was left standing there, hugging the quilt and thinking.
Ling Heng handed a clean fruit to Shi Li with a smile.
"Try this first, it should be the sweetest."
Then, he pretended to glance casually at the lonely Lin Chen.
When he was a child, his elder sister Xie Yuan took good care of him. But Lin Chen didn't know whether he was jealous or just wanted to play a prank, and he always bullied him for no reason.
Therefore, Ling Heng now just wanted to laugh at this senior brother. He was unwilling to lend a helping hand, nor did he want Shi Li to help.
They had been talking a little noisily lately, and Xie Yuan walked out of the room, frowning slightly.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb Miss Fang."
Lin Chen: I hugged the quilt and felt like crying but had no tears.
Ling Heng: ...
Shi Li looked at Xie Yuan, then at the fruit in her hand, and suddenly felt that it was not sweet at all. She looked at Xie Yuan aggrievedly.
"Sister, do you not like me anymore?"
Xie Yuan was both amused and confused. He walked over and first touched her head gently, then held her sleeve.
"I don't dislike you. I'll take you to the back hill to play and make you a flower crown. I'm really good at making flower crowns."
"Yeah!"
Shi Li was instantly bought over by the flower crown that she didn't get. She happily took Xie Yuan's hand and was willing to be "kidnapped" by her.
Ling Heng and Lin Chen were left looking at each other.
Lin Chen looked at his little junior brother who was holding a bamboo basket and looked like a petrified boy, and snorted with a smile.
"Oh, I thought you were very capable."
"It's better than being disliked." Ling Heng retorted unconvinced.
creak-
The master's door opened.
The master, who was supposed to be taking a lunch break, came out, stood next to his two little disciples and looked around.
He sighed helplessly.
"Two useless things."
Who would have thought that among the three disciples he had, the one who was best at pleasing girls was actually the only female disciple!
