Chapter 439: Zhou Manqing’s Scorn (2)
Chi Shuyan turned around. Before Zhou Manqing could say anything, Yu Rong quickly said, “Celestial Master Chi, we believe you, we believe you!”
Zhou Manqing’s face was stiff and her expression didn’t look good. However, when she thought about the strange things that were happening to her, she was naturally afraid as well. Every night when she went to sleep, she would feel an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart. She would always feel a weight pressing down on her shoulders. She hadn’t slept well for the past few days because she was afraid that she would really provoke something.
Chi Shuyan paused. Yu Rong looked at her respectfully. It didn’t matter if this little girl was a Celestial Master or not. President Qi had brought her here. They couldn’t afford to offend her.
Seeing Yu Rong’s sincerity, Chi Shuyan didn’t put on airs.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered with Zhou Manqing’s stiff and perfunctory expression. She said, “Very well. Will Miss Zhou speak herself, or will Miss Yu help describe Miss Zhou’s situation?”
Yu Rong saw that Manqing was distracted and not saying anything, so she could only say, “Heavenly Teacher Chi, Manqing…”
Before Yu Rong could finish speaking, Zhou Manqing suddenly interrupted Yu Rong and said coldly, “Since you’re a Celestial Master, why can’t you see anything? Previously, I invited a couple of famous Celestial Masters from Longhu Mountain. The moment they saw me, I didn’t even need to say much and they were already able to see a lot of information? It seems that there’s really quite a difference between a prestigious sect and a grassroots Celestial Master! Miss Chi, what do you think?”
As soon as Zhou Manqing finished speaking, anyone could tell that she was intentionally looking for trouble.
Yu Rong’s expression changed, and Chi Shuyan curled her lip. After hearing what the woman in front of her said, the smile on her face deepened, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. “Looks like Miss Zhou has already invited famous Celestial Masters, so there’s no need for me.”
Zhou Man said coldly, “Looks like Celestial Master Chi knows her own limits besides being useless!”
Chi Shuyan said, “Sure. I hope Miss Zhou has no reason to beg me in the future!”
Zhou Manqing gritted her teeth. “Don’t worry! I, Zhou Manqing, have never begged anyone in my life, and I never will!”
Before Chi Shuyan left, she still asked them to remember to reimburse her travel cost. No matter what Yu Rong said, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered. Although she was patient and had a pretty good nature, that didn’t mean that she didn’t have a temper at all, or that she was someone who was easily bullied.
After Chi Shuyan left, Yu Rong’s expression was very ugly. She felt that Zhou Manqing’s words were inappropriate. How could she not know that Manqing was most likely targeting that little girl because of President Qi?
Even if President Qi hadn’t brought her here, what if she really was a Celestial Master, and they had offended her?
Yu Rong felt that while the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain were indeed powerful and were helping Manqing to get the Perfected One to take action, there still was no news on that front at all. They might as well look for other Celestial Masters as a backup plan. What if there really were other Celestial Masters who could resolve this?
Yu Rong’s expression was rather ugly. “Manqing, you’re too impulsive!”
Zhou Manqing looked away from the woman’s back and said to Yu Rong with a cold smile, “Sister Yu, let’s not talk about the fact that I’ve already contacted the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain; do you really believe that a little girl like her has any real ability? She probably dabbles in a bit of everything. What I’m wondering right now is if this woman surnamed Chi has cast some kind of curse on President Qi or has subdued him!”
Yu Rong was startled by Zhou Manqing’s words and hurriedly said, “Manqing, you can’t say such things carelessly!”
Zhou Manqing sneered. “Don’t you think that President Qi has a particularly good temper around this woman? If something isn’t wrong, my surname’s not Zhou.”
What Zhou Manqing didn’t mention was that in the past, she had thought of getting close to President Qi by putting some curse on him or subduing him. She had even secretly looked for quite a number of Celestial Masters. Unfortunately, she had never had the chance to get close to anyone. Now that another woman had taken advantage of the opportunity, Zhou Manqing was really unwilling!
