Chapter 189 What happened to your face?

The person who stopped Xu's father was Xu Huai, who had been standing by and watching coldly.

Seeing that he was blocking him, Xu's father became somewhat anxious, but he had completely lost the arrogance he had shown when facing Lin Xiaoran. "Ah Huai, why are you stopping me? She hasn't agreed to help you yet, how can you just let her leave like this?"

Xu Huai's grip on his father's arm remained firm, his deep gaze fixed on the departing Shen Baisu.

Xu Huai only looked away after his father finished speaking. He said to his father, "The timing isn't right today."

"Besides, she's determined not to help me, so we don't need to waste our time on her. Go back and talk to Mom; she'll find a way to persuade Lin Xiaoran."

Xu's father disagreed with Xu Huai's words and said to himself, "Why make things so complicated? Give me some more time, and see if she dares to disobey me."

Xu Huai frowned, his expression suddenly becoming serious. He looked at his father and said, "You'd better not go looking for her alone again. The person who took her away just now is a rich young lady. Lin Xiaoran is very close to her. If we anger her because of Lin Xiaoran, we'll both be in trouble."

Of course, what Xu Huai was afraid of was not actually angering Shen Baisu, but that Shen Baisu still had designs on him and would use the resources in Lin Xiaoran's hands to control him.

Xu's father, unaware of Xu Huai's true worries, asked suspiciously, "Really? How did that brat get involved with a rich girl?"

Xu Huai: "That woman used to like me and kept asking around about me. I suppose Lin Xiaoran must have said something to her."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu's expression lit up immediately. "Really? No wonder he's my son; even rich young ladies like him."

"If she likes you, then she definitely wouldn't... wait a minute, if she likes you, why didn't she greet you just now, and..."

That didn't look like he liked her at all; he didn't even give her a second glance.

Although he was willing to believe that his son was charming, he wasn't blind, and he couldn't very well lie about something he could see at a glance.

Xu Huai's expression turned somewhat gloomy. He lowered his eyes and said, "Ever since I met Lin Xiaoran, she has never contacted me again."

Upon hearing this, Xu's father immediately felt that he understood.

"That brat must have made up stories about you in front of that girl. That girl is an idiot too, she actually believed what that brat said."

"Forget it, leave her alone."

“My son is so outstanding, he doesn’t care about her liking. Once you get into Teacher Su Qing’s class, not to mention one rich girl, there will definitely be ten or twenty rich girls who like you.”

Xu Huai frowned deeply. "I don't need anyone's approval."

"Alright, now that she's gone, you should go back too. I need to go back and work on the new research topic my advisor assigned me."

Mr. Xu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Dad will be leaving now. Take good care of yourself and don't be stingy with money. If you run out of money, remember to call Dad."

After giving Xu Huai a long lecture, Xu's father reluctantly left.

After Xu's father left, Xu Huai also left.

As Xu's father left, he looked back several times, but Xu Huai walked away resolutely without turning his head once, and soon disappeared from his father's sight.

When Xu's father saw that no one was in sight, he stopped looking back every few steps with a sense of disappointment and walked towards the school gate with his head down in frustration.

Lin Xiaoran followed Shen Baisu and Feng Yin into the cafeteria. Su Qing had already sent a message to Shen Baisu. They were currently on the second floor. There was an escalator to the second floor. As they boarded the escalator, Shen Baisu handed Lin Xiaoran a plaster, saying, "Senior, this is for you."

Lin Xiaoran was lost in thought, preoccupied with something. She paused, startled by the sudden appearance of something in front of her, then looked blankly at Shen Baisu, "What's this?"

Shen Baisu: "For wiping your face."

Lin Xiaoran was slapped by Xu's father. At first, there was no visible mark, but as time went by, his face began to turn red and swell. Now it is very obvious, with a clear handprint on Lin Xiaoran's face, showing how much force Xu's father used.

Hearing Shen Baisu's words, Lin Xiaoran guessed that her face must be too swollen. She immediately reached out and took the money, saying, "Thank you."

Shen Baisu: "Use this to alleviate the problem for now. I'll teach you a spell later that can directly eliminate the traces using wood elemental power."

Upon hearing that she could learn a new spell, Lin Xiaoran immediately perked up. Her eyes brightened, and she nodded repeatedly to Shen Baisu, "Okay, thank you, Junior Sister Shen."

"Junior Uncle! Fifth Uncle, over here!"

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived on the second floor. Mu Ye saw Shen Baisu and Feng Yin and immediately stood up and waved to them.

Shen Baisu looked in the direction of the sound and saw the master and apprentice sitting there, along with Min Yu.

Seeing Shen Baisu and the other two looking over, Su Qing and Min Yu waved to them.

They all knew each other, and after getting closer, they greeted each other and sat down.

After sitting down, the group started chatting. Min Yu, sitting opposite Lin Xiaoran, belatedly noticed the handprint on her face. She was startled at first, then instinctively asked, "Teacher Lin, what happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Lin Xiaoran and Min Yu are now teaching cultivators with wood spirit roots, so they are indeed teachers and call each other Teacher Lin and Teacher Yu.

When Min Yu mentioned Teacher Lin, everyone knew she was referring to Lin Xiaoran. As a result, Su Qing and Mu Ye both looked at Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran awkwardly raised her hand to cover her face, "I had a little conflict with someone just now."

As soon as Lin Xiaoran said this, Mu Ye immediately started rolling up his sleeves, "That guy dared to hit you over a little conflict? Did you fight back? Did you win? If you didn't win, I'll go and fight back for you..."

Mu Ye was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered that Lin Xiaoran had gone upstairs with Shen Baisu and Feng Yin. So, he paused, then looked at Feng Yin with a smile, "You must have won, right? With Junior Uncle and Fifth Uncle here, there's no way you could have lost."

Shen Baisu and Feng Yin: "..."

Coincidentally, neither of us made a move.

"Alright, it's time to eat with your mouth, stop making noise." Shen Baisu handed a pair of chopsticks to Mu Ye, wanting him to shut up.

After taking the chopsticks, Mu Ye blinked, his gaze shifting back and forth between Shen Baisu and Feng Yin. After a moment, he tentatively asked, "No way, you two lost too?"

It's no wonder Mu asked that. If it were before, after he guessed that Feng Yin had won the fight, Feng Yin would have immediately raised her chin and told him with her expression that she had indeed won. But today...

Either he lost... no, it shouldn't be that he lost. If he had lost, he wouldn't have this expression. It's more like he didn't even make a move.

That's amazing, absolutely amazing.
