Chapter 135: Chapter 102: Tearing Into Each Other (Part 2)

"Earlier, Lan Cai’er’s words didn’t seem to be fake, and Chu Xuan’s reaction is also a proof. Do you still think it’s impossible now?"

Qingqing was silent, even feeling like the sky was falling. Could it be that the Primordial Monarch Taixu, whom she admired most, was really going to become her "competition"?

How could I possibly compete with her?

No no no, the Monarch must not have that intention with Chu Xuan. It must be Chu Xuan, that rascal, who harbors unrealistic fantasies about the master.

Yes, he’s just that kind of person!

Having personally seen Chu Xuan buy aphrodisiacs and erotic books, Qingqing was even more anxious than Gu Haitang, because she knew this unreliable guy didn’t live up to expectations.

"What do we do next?" Gu Haitang proactively asked.

"Why don’t you go privately ask Chu Xuan? Otherwise, there’s no point in us just guessing here."

"You go." Qingqing immediately pushed back this "burden".

"You and Chu Xuan have known each other for a long time, your relationship must be good, right? To him, I’m just a stranger. He doesn’t trust me at heart and won’t tell me these things."

"No no no," Gu Haitang waved her hands repeatedly, "Chu Xuan and I are just acquaintances. Haven’t you noticed him keeping an intentional distance from me? And frequently clarifying our relationship."

"I think he still likes you better. Just act cute a bit; you’re good at that, right?"

"What do you mean I’m good at this?" Qingqing’s temper was stirred up by her.

"Hehe, we’re all smart people. No need to play this game with me."

Gu Haitang said with a half-smile, "Weren’t you hugging Chu Xuan’s arm before, squeezing it into your chest?"

"Aren’t you women from the demonic sect always rather indecent?"

"You’re the indecent one!" Qingqing slapped the tree root and stood up, "You, this genderless creature, have no right to say that about me."

Gu Haitang got equally angry, standing up, "You’re genderless; you sly fox!"

Qingqing sneered, "Thank you, I’ve heard a fox is the highest compliment a woman can give another woman."

"You!"

"What are you two arguing about? Why so agitated?" Chu Xuan came over quickly, looking puzzled.

Originally, he was concentrating on palm reading for someone, but as soon as he looked up, he found these plastic sisters fighting again. He hurriedly left the customer and ran over to mediate.

Gu Haitang and Qingqing became silent, quickly turning their heads away.

"Nothing."

"We weren’t arguing."

Chu Xuan was puzzled, "Then can you explain why you’re talking so passionately?"

The two girls exchanged an awkward glance. Ultimately, Qingqing, with thicker skin, took the initiative to grab Gu Haitang’s hand and said:

"We were discussing how many cultivators would attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, unexpectedly our opinions differed, and our voices got a bit loud. We’ve calmed down now."

Although Haitang felt quite disdainful, she didn’t shake off Qingqing’s hand in front of Chu Xuan, merely said indifferently:

"You go back and carry on; we’ll sit down and discuss calmly."

Only then did Chu Xuan turn around somewhat skeptically, realizing that the customer was gone. His money hadn’t been paid yet!

He shook his head and sighed, "The world is declining; people’s hearts are not what they used to be."

Once Chu Xuan returned to his seat, waiting for more business, the two girls disdainfully let go of each other’s hands.

Frankly, neither of them wanted to risk being disliked by Chu Xuan by going to ask him the sensitive question.

Unexpectedly, as they talked, they ended up quarreling.

Once Chu Xuan left, the two girls began a cold war, ignoring each other, pondering the matter themselves.

But as they thought, they both looked at each other again, simultaneously saying:

"You go."

"You go."

Qingqing helplessly rubbed her forehead, "How about we go together?"

"That way we can share the risk; no way Chu Xuan will be angry with both of us simultaneously, right?"

"Secondly, it could prevent one of us from secretly withholding key information."

Gu Haitang agreed; she didn’t trust Duanmu Qing’s character.

But thinking it over, she hesitated, "What if Chu Xuan really gets angry with both of us?"

Qingqing was speechless, "Then just act cute a bit; you’re good at that, right?"

Gu Haitang’s eyes chilled, "You’re deliberately picking a fight, aren’t you?"

"I’m not; you started it."

After staring at each other for a while, they both looked towards Chu Xuan, realized he was nervously watching them, and quickly waved at him with a smile, indicating he shouldn’t worry.

They exchanged another glance, and Gu Haitang sighed, "Alright, but when do we ask him? How should we ask?"

These things come with their own considerations.

Qingqing thought for a moment, "Tonight, let’s prepare something nice for Chu Xuan to eat, let him cheer up first."

Gu Haitang nodded, "Good idea, maybe also have a drink with him to relax."

"Alright, it’s decided then. You make the food; I’ll buy the drinks," Qingqing concluded.

"Wait," Gu Haitang had a puzzled expression, "How would I know how to cook?"

Qingqing looked at her incredulously, "Do you think someone of my background would have learned cooking?"

Haitang was speechless, "Then why suggest this? Just eat out at a restaurant."

"No way; that’s insincere," Qingqing promptly rejected.

She thought for a moment, "Forget it, I don’t need your help; I’ll handle it all."

Gu Haitang immediately sensed a crisis; wouldn’t that make all the credit hers alone in the end?
