Because of Jun Ziyi, Luo Xiaoxi was in a terribly low mood. Under the Fat Old Man's protection, she returned to Profound Gold City, gloomy and silent the entire way.
The Fat Old Man saw the expression on his Young Miss's face and could not help but worry, mistakenly thinking she had suffered some grievance on the mountain peak. Yet despite asking after her with concern time and again, he received no response.
As they neared Profound Gold City, some of the bitterness Luo Xiaoxi had been holding in finally loosened. She sighed to herself in quiet resentment, "Such a fine man, so handsome and graceful... how could he like men? What a waste, what a tragedy..."
Though her muttering was soft, with the Fat Old Man's strength, it naturally could not escape his ears.
"Is Young Miss speaking of the Azure Mountain Sect Master?"
"Ah..." Luo Xiaoxi let out a desolate sigh, utterly stripped of the delight she had felt on the journey there.
The Fat Old Man said suspiciously, "The Azure Mountain Sect Master is famously amorous. When he stayed in our courtyard before, he never settled down for a moment. After the Lin Family Young Miss came calling, he even brought her into his room and made a complete mess of the place. How could a man like that possibly like men?"
Luo Xiaoxi froze. She recalled scene after scene from the Lantern Festival, vaguely remembering that Lu Feng had even bought rouge and cosmetics to give someone. Those were clearly not things one would give a man!
At once, Luo Xiaoxi understood everything. The dejected look on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by such irritation that she gritted her teeth.
"Why, you Big Foolish Monkey! You tricked your grandma again!"
"I'm so mad! Aaaaah!"
