"Mr. Li, would you like to visit the Swift Shadow Martial Hall?"
Inside the car, Xiao Luo asked softly.
Only silence answered her. Lin Sheng reclined in his seat, tapping his fingers lightly against the upholstery.
When he said nothing, Xiao Luo stuck out her tongue and stopped asking.
But a thought flashed through her mind.
Sure enough, Extradimensional Creatures are all cold-blooded. How could they possibly have feelings...
As she was thinking this, Lin Sheng's calm voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Did you bring any money?"
"Uh..."
Xiao Luo jumped, then nodded in bewilderment.
The Swift Shadow Martial Hall.
"Well? Did you tell Li Wei? Was he over the moon?"
Watching her best friend put down her phone, Tang Xue'er asked with a beaming smile.
"Mm, I suppose," Li Suihan said helplessly.
She could hear how flat Li Wei's voice had been over the phone. There hadn't been the slightest trace of delight.
For no reason she could explain, this left her feeling a little disappointed, considerably dampening her intense joy at finally being accepted as a disciple.
Tang Xue'er didn't notice the change in her best friend's mood. She linked arms with her and said excitedly,
"Come on, my treat today! Let's go stuff ourselves at the hot pot place outside the martial hall!"
With that, she dragged her toward the exit without taking no for an answer.
"I heard this new hot pot place has wonderfully fresh meat. It's supposed to be delicious..."
The two had just left the martial hall when two figures approached them head-on.
A shrill, mocking voice followed.
"Well, well... isn't this the little girl from the slums? I heard Deputy Hall Master Bai took you as his disciple. I suppose you've defied heaven and changed your fate now. What a shame
