Quick Wear: Heaven Always Favors Me

Chapter 242: The Martial Arts Demon Saint 27

Gu Nanshan watched all the movements of the Fentian Sect. When he saw Jiang Yao smiling and leaving with Chongli, he felt an uncontrollable rage rising in his heart, and the corners of his lips, which were always gentle and smiling, were now tightly pursed.

Nangong Shengyin, who was beside him, took out a box of ointment, put some on her fingertips and rubbed it on his face. She said with a little complaint, "Why is this Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect so arrogant and rough with you? Even if there is something wrong with what Brother Gu said, just talk to him nicely."

Seeing how concerned Nangong Shengyin was about him, Gu Nanshan's eyes softened and he said in a warm voice, "Thank you, Shengyin."

After hearing Gu Nanshan's words, Nangong Shengyin's frown relaxed and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

God knows how flustered she was when she saw Gu Nanshan going to find Jiang Yao just now? She didn't care about her appearance before, because she was the most beautiful woman in Tianyin Sect and even in the entire famous and upright sect.

But after seeing Jiang Yao, her calmness and composure were shattered.

If Jiang Yao was from a prestigious family, she would not be given the title of the most beautiful woman and genius.

Thinking of this, Nangong Shengyin's cold and arrogant eyes became gloomy for the first time, but it was quickly suppressed.

After she covered the palm prints on Gu Nanshan's face with ointment, she asked softly, "Brother Gu, you actually know the Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect, right?"

"Well, yes, we have met a few times." Gu Nanshan did not tell Nangong Shengyin his true identity, so now he came to his senses and realized how rash his behavior of going to find Jiang Yao was.

Nangong Shengyin put away the medicine box and asked softly, "Then according to what Brother Gu saw, if Shengyin faced her, what would be the chance of winning?"

Gu Nanshan paused for a moment before answering: "...50%."

In fact, based on Jiang Yao's martial arts skills, with Nangong Shengyin's current strength, it would be difficult for her to have a 30% chance of winning. But if she said this, Nangong Shengyin would definitely be sad.

After all, he also knew how competitive this child, whom he had protected since childhood, was.

Nangong Shengyin was not satisfied with this answer. In fact, Gu Nanshan's words made her realize that the relationship between Gu Nanshan and Jiang Yao was not simple. It could even be said that Gu Nanshan knew Jiang Yao very well.

She calmed herself down and asked, "Brother Gu, if I were to face the Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect on the fighting stage, how would I win?"

……

Jiang Yao originally thought that Chongli was talking about some ordinary small shops, but unexpectedly, Chongli actually took her to eat private food.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a store, but the home of an elderly couple. The grandfather is a retired royal chef.

When Chongli passed by that day, he smelled the aroma of cooking and thought it was a small restaurant.

Fortunately, the old couple did not care and even agreed to cook for Jiang Yao.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Yao looked at Chongli with a reproachful look. When the latter saw Jiang Yao's eyes, he seemed to understand something and stood up consciously to help in the kitchen.

The old lady was embroidering nearby. Seeing this scene, she laughed cheerfully: "This young man likes you. In fact, he has come here four or five times, and every time he asks, saying that he wants to bring the young lady to eat once."

When Jiang Yao heard the second half of the sentence, she didn't pay attention to refute the previous part.

"Come four or five times?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised. She thought this was the first or second time he came, but she didn't expect it was several times.

"No, my old man is very proud. In the past, when he was in the palace..." The old lady paused and changed the subject. "The young man came every day not to bring money or other vulgar things, but to chop wood and fetch water before leaving."

"I just got you here yesterday." The old lady put down the embroidery in her hand, looked at Jiang Yao and smiled, "I saw today that the little girl is very pretty. No wonder she is so attentive."

If it weren’t for the old lady, Jiang Yao would never have thought that this was something Chongli could do.

In the past, Chongli always performed his duties conscientiously and would never appear by her side unless she asked him to do so.

After finishing their meal, the two walked on the path paved with bluestone bricks.

Jiang Yao turned her head to look at Chongli, and couldn't help asking: "Chongli, it's just a meal, why are you doing this?"

With Chongli's martial arts skills, it was not difficult for him to hear the conversation between her and the old lady.

Chongli said without much hesitation: "I just want to make you happy."

His voice was as calm as ever, as if he was just talking about something very ordinary.

Jiang Yao immediately noticed the "you" in Chongli's words. If Chongli had said the Saint Lady, Jiang Yao might not have thought about it further.

"Because of me?" Jiang Yao raised the corners of her lips and continued naturally, "Chongli, are you fond of me?"

Chongli stopped walking, and Jiang Yao also stopped after taking half a step, looking back at Chongli.

He looked at her and said softly, "As a master and servant, we should do our best."

Chongli took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said devoutly and seriously:

"But everything I do now is because I love you."

Jiang Yao lowered her eyes and looked at Chongli. It seemed that after these words came out of her mouth, Chongli's eyes changed. They were no longer as cold as before. Instead, they were like a raging fire, full of fiery emotions.

She could feel Chongli's love and loyalty for her, passionate and warm.

"Is that so..." After Jiang Yao said this, Chongli's body visibly stiffened, and he was obviously nervous.

Jiang Yao certainly didn't say that she didn't like Chong Li, but Chong Li was now more like a sharp sword that could cut anything she pointed at it, and a pet that was docile to her but cruel to her enemies. If she said he was a lover...

She half-knelt down, looked at Chongli straight in the eyes, and said very seriously: "Chongli, I like you too, but not the kind of like that I love. Maybe in my eyes, you are a very important person, but it has not reached that level yet."

Chongli had been looking at Jiang Yao very seriously. After listening to Jiang Yao's words, he chuckled and said, "I didn't say these words to bother you, I just wanted you to know what I was thinking."

For him, it was his greatest luck that Jiang Yao did not despise him after knowing the truth. How could he dare to expect more?

Jiang Yao saw through his thoughts and slapped his head on his forehead: "Don't think too much, but now the great cause has not been accomplished, so let's not talk about these romantic things for now."

"Chongli, you are naturally a good person, so don't feel sorry for yourself." Jiang Yao said as she pulled Chongli up from the ground.

"Okay." Chongli stood up obediently without making Jiang Yao spend much effort.

"But for things like this, you could really do more. The classic chicken tonight was really delicious."

"If the Saint likes it, I will learn it."

The conversation between the two disappeared in the wind...
