Chapter: Guizhong Meets Hu Tao

Hmph! Useless student, it is merely Morax, what is there to be afraid of!

Seeing Bai Ye chicken out, Guizhong was furious!

What was there to be afraid of?

Oh, this Morax was still Hu Tao's elder.

Remembering this detail, Guizhong understood her student.

she could not blame him.

Then he certainly had to chicken out a little bit.

"Do not call me any sort of lady, I am not used to it at all." Hearing Xiao address her like that, Guizhong quickly waved her hand in refusal.

Aside from her little apprentice, she was not used to others showing her respect at all.

Seeing Guizhong's resolute expression, Xiao naturally could not continue insisting.

Zhongli waved his hand, and a table and several stone stools appeared in front of Bai Ye and the others.

The few of them gathered around the stone table to enjoy the pastries.

Though it was said to be enjoying them together, Zhongli did not care for sweets,
