CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 298: TOO BAD SHE’S MUTE

Just as Shen Qinglan was about to greet him, she heard Chu Wuqu hiss and muse, "Don’t you like that girl from Bright Moon City, the one from the Luo Family, with the surname Yi?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei: ...

Is there a master who would set up his disciple like this?

"Master, I don’t like her!" Duan Yunfei gritted his teeth.

"Huh?" Chu Wuqu was taken aback, "You don’t like her?"

Duan Yunfei: ... Can he dissolve the master-disciple relationship?

"Not liking her is good!" Chu Wuqu continued tactlessly, "That girl may be pretty, but her temper is bad, and she’s pampered, not suitable for you."

He scrutinized Shen Qinglan for a while and suddenly said, "This girl looks good too, but it’s a pity she’s mute and has no Inner Strength. You, as a Young Master of the Jianghu Manor, have enemies everywhere, bringing along a girl who couldn’t even tie up a chicken is not quite appropriate!"

Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei: ...

Did he even provide an opportunity for response?

Chu Wuqu lightly patted Duan Yunfei’s shoulder and said, "Listen to your master’s advice, for the sake of the girl’s wellbeing, pick someone else. I think the daughter of the Hall Master of Dragon Gate Escort Hall is quite good. Although she’s a bit overweight and dumb, her Martial Arts are commendable, and that build might even shield you from enemies!"

"Thank you, Master!" Duan Yunfei said with a half-smile, "Our Qinglan is neither mute nor a girl who couldn’t even tie up a chicken!"

Shen Qinglan tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying, "Greetings, elder!"

"Huh?" Chu Wuqu was astonished, "Turns out she’s not mute!"

Shen Qinglan: ...

"Master!" Duan Yunfei helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Oh dear!" Chu Wuqu patted his little disciple’s shoulder to comfort him, "Don’t be upset, it’s my fault!"

He looked at Shen Qinglan and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Well, disciple’s spouse, don’t be angry either, it’s this old man’s mistake!"

"Elder is joking, Qinglan isn’t petty," Shen Qinglan said, "Elder hasn’t had breakfast yet, right? There’s a noodle shop up ahead, how about we sit down and talk?"

"Oh!" Chu Wuqu nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, let’s go sit!"

Shen Qinglan smiled, "After you, elder!"

The three of them found the nearest noodle shop and ordered three bowls of noodles before sitting down.

Chu Wuqu looked at Duan Yunfei and smiled, "Recently I heard that you took down Chen Qi’s Thirteen Shadow Guards, that’s quite impressive!"

Duan Yunfei scoffed, "Those Thirteen Shadow Guards were just idolized by the Jianghu, in reality just a bunch of useless beings."

"Such confidence!" Chu Wuqu laughed heartily, "No doubt you’re my disciple!"

He asked Duan Yunfei, "I also heard there’s a girl by your side, not only skilled but with mysterious hidden weapons. Where’s she?"

Duan Yunfei chuckled, "Master, there’s only one girl by my side."

"Huh?" Chu Wuqu was taken aback, "That girl, wouldn’t she be..."

He turned his head to look at Shen Qinglan, his expression surprised but hesitant.

"That’s right!" Duan Yunfei nodded and leisurely smiled, "It’s the very girl you said couldn’t even tie up a chicken!"

Chu Wuqu was stunned, "But... she has no Inner Strength!"

"Elder Mu said that Qinglan’s constitution is rather special, claiming she has a natural membrane within her body that encapsulates all Inner Strength in her Dantian, which is why others can’t detect it!"

"Really?" Chu Wuqu felt a tremor at heart, "That’s the natural physique of an assassin!"
