Song Cha had no idea what Chu Man and Shao Yumiao were thinking at the moment.
She stood there feeling wronged, giving off a somewhat lonely and pitiful vibe.
Song Cha was already delicate, and standing there with such grievance made her look even more pitiable.
“Cha Cha, don’t cry,” Chu Man gently stroked Song Cha’s head, “You are my disciple, Chu Man, so naturally, you can make as many friends as you want without any worries. How many friends do you want to make in the future?”
Hearing this, Song Cha felt tempted and looked at Chu Man with some worry, “Really? Master, can I really make a lot of friends in the future?”
“Really.” Chu Man said something she would regret for the rest of her life, “My disciple, Chu Man, can have as many friends as she wants.”
“Thank you, Master. You are so good to me,” Song Cha looked at Chu Man, moved.
With the master agreeing to let her disciple make friends, the disciple looked at her master gratefully, and the atmosphere between them immediately improved.
In such a pleasant atmosphere, Shao Yumiao also came over. She used a handkerchief to wipe away Song Cha’s tears before finally speaking, “Cha Cha, don’t be upset. Although your master… but after all, she agreed.”
Chu Man: “…” Shao Yumiao was implying something about her again.
Unfortunately, while Chu Man caught the implication from Shao Yumiao, Song Cha did not, and she nodded, “Thank you, beautiful sister.”
After saying this, Song Cha thought the matter was settled, but Chu Man became dissatisfied again.
Beautiful sister?
From the first time Song Cha called Shao Yumiao “beautiful sister,” Chu Man was already displeased.
She was already unhappy with her future partner calling someone else “sister” so affectionately, and now it was “beautiful sister” over and over again. What’s worse, Shao Yumiao actually liked Song Cha.
“Cha’er.” Chu Man looked at Song Cha, “In the future, your master won’t stop you from making friends. But you can’t call anyone ‘beautiful sister’ anymore.”
Song Cha: “……”
“Why?” Song Cha asked.
Chu Man said, “It’s too ambiguous and might lead others to think of things they shouldn’t.” As she said this, Chu Man gave Shao Yumiao a warning glance.
Song Cha: “……”
Hearing Chu Man’s words, Song Cha felt a little unhappy.
Easy to think of ambiguous places?
She and Shao Yumiao are both women, how could they be too ambiguous?
But she still obediently agreed: “Okay, Master, I won’t say that anymore.”
After saying this, it meant that the title of beautiful sister, which could improve favorability, was going to be gone.
However… it should be okay, right? Shao Yumiao’s current favorability towards her is already very high, it seems that this title is not needed to increase favorability anymore.
Song Cha is someone who pays great attention to details in certain aspects.
She knows that details in certain aspects can win people’s favor.
And she is also very good at learning.
For example, when Song Cha was in school, there was a junior who would call her beautiful senior sister every time he saw her.
He called her that the first time they met without knowing her name, and continued to do so even after knowing her name.
It must be said, being called like that indeed felt very fulfilling.
Although Song Cha didn’t like that junior, she still enjoyed being called the title of beautiful senior sister every time.
Even though she knew she was pretty enough, being praised with a title was really a pleasant thing.
When she met Shao Yumiao, Song Cha was shocked by her generosity.
This was the first time Song Cha had met someone so lavish with money in the cultivation world, and she couldn’t help but call her beautiful sister.
But she can’t call her that anymore in the future.
Song Cha felt regretful about it again in her heart.
And it wasn’t just Song Cha who felt regret; Shao Yumiao, standing to the side, also harbored some disappointment.
When Shao Yumiao first met Song Cha, she didn’t have a good impression of her. However, as they spent more time together, Shao Yumiao’s fondness for Song Cha grew. Whenever Song Cha called her “beautiful sister,” although she appeared calm on the outside, she felt sweet inside. Song Cha liked her appearance, thinking she was beautiful, and always called her “beautiful sister”… It was both affectionate and playful, a special title Song Cha had given her.
But now, this exclusive title was effortlessly taken away by Chu Man with a single sentence. Shao Yumiao even felt like challenging Chu Man to a duel. Even though she was only at the peak of the Golden Core realm and couldn’t possibly defeat Chu Man, it didn’t matter.
But then… Shao Yumiao looked at Song Cha again. Song Cha had just cried, so heartbroken; was she going to make Song Cha upset over this matter now? Shao Yumiao suppressed the anger in her heart. She could find trouble with Chu Man, but that was for later. At least for now, during this time she was going to meet the parents with Song Cha, she needed to stay calm.
Song Cha was completely unaware of the storm brewing beneath the calm surface. The recent dramatic performance had left her exhausted, and she just wanted to sleep well. So, taking advantage of the absence of new troubles, Song Cha weakly said, “Master, beautiful… Sister Yumiao, I’m going to sleep now.”
Chu Man: “Okay.”
Shao Yumiao: “Okay.”
After saying goodbye to the two, Song Cha finally returned to her room and fell asleep, not waking until the sun was high in the sky.
After Song Cha met up with Chu Man and Shao Yumiao, the three of them continued on their journey to the Yan Kingdom by flying on their swords.
Along the way, they didn’t encounter the issue of not having enough rooms again. Each person had their own room, and no disputes arose.
After flying for another day, the trio finally arrived at the Yan Kingdom.
Seeing the familiar lands of the Yan Kingdom, Song Cha breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Throughout the journey, although Shao Yumiao and Chu Man didn’t have any more disputes, the atmosphere between them was really tense. Song Cha became much more cautious with her words, fearing that taking sides might spark another conflict between the two who were already at odds.
Upon arriving in the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Song Cha, dressed in luxurious white clothes, decided to visit her family.
“Without returning to one’s hometown in glory, it’s like walking in brocade at night.”
So… the point was to let her family see her current wealth!
Of course, this show-off couldn’t be too obvious, especially with Chu Man and Shao Yumiao around. It wouldn’t be good for them to see her flaunting.
“Master, Sister Yumiao, that’s my home. I want to go home for a visit, will you come with me?” Song Cha asked.
Chu Man, who was supposed to meet Song Cha’s parents, answered without hesitation: “Cha’er, those are the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. As your master, of course, I should visit.”
“Let’s go.” Shao Yumiao also answered. She didn’t like visiting other people’s homes, but the thought of the house belonging to Song Cha’s parents made her inexplicably want to go.
Seeing that both Chu Man and Shao Yumiao agreed to go, Song Cha didn’t hesitate and knocked on the front door.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen. Upon seeing Song Cha and the others, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, followed by a respectful inquiry: “Ladies, may I ask…”
Song Cha didn’t recognize this doorman; he must have been hired after she left.
“I am Song Cha.”
“So you are the third miss who went on a cultivation journey!” Hearing Song Cha’s words, the doorman immediately became more respectful, “Please come in, I will inform the master that the third miss has returned.”
The three followed the doorman to the living room, took seats, and began to wait.
It seemed the doorman ran off to notify them.
He arrived quickly, calling Song Cha’s father over.
Clearly, Song Cha’s father had run over, panting heavily as he entered the living room.
When he saw Song Cha in the living room, his eyes lit up with undisguised joy: “Cha’er, you’re back?”
Song Cha casually responded, “Father, I’m back.”
“Cha’er, how goes your cultivation?” Song’s father couldn’t help but survey Song Cha’s luxurious white clothes.
“Father, I’ve already broken through to Golden Core,” Song Cha said calmly, pride hidden within.
“Golden Core?” A flash of shock passed through Song’s father’s eyes, “You’ve reached Golden Core in just eight years?”
“Yes.” Song Cha was even more indifferent, “With my poor talent, it took me eight years to break through to Golden Core.”
Song’s father: “……”
Eight years to reach Golden Core, yet claiming to have poor talent, when the highly esteemed national master of Yan country was only at Foundation Building.
His gaze towards Song Cha softened, “Cha’er, look at your father, not even offering you a glass of water. I’ll go get you some water and something to eat right now.”
Song Cha did not object.
Song’s father quickly went downstairs.
After Song’s father left, Chu Man frowned: “Cha’er, your father… he’s not sincere towards you.”
Song Cha looked at Chu Man in confusion: “Not sincere? Father has always been good to me.”
Chu Man: “……”
No, Song Cha was just too naive.
She must expose Song’s father’s true face later, to make Song Cha understand!
