"Teacher, Xiao Hao bullied me."
When Hu Liena saw Bibi Dong's smile, she ran straight into her arms and tearfully complained.
"Nana, be good. Don't cry. Tell Teacher what happened."
Bibi Dong cupped her little face, a gentle smile on her own, and wiped away her tears.
"Teacher, why does Xiao Hao always keep such a cold face? He isn't friendly to me at all."
"I've already tried every way I can to show him goodwill, but he just won't accept it."
Feeling Bibi Dong's care, Hu Liena's grievances were completely released in that moment.
"All right, that's just his personality. We have to use love to slowly influence him," Bibi Dong said with a helpless smile.
She had thought Hu Liena would directly come complain to her, saying that Chu Hao had forced her to submit.
Unexpectedly, it was such a trivial little matter. She was speechless too.
Since you won't say it, I'll ask.
"All right, Nana, don't cry. Elder Yue told me that Chu Hao forced you to submit. Did that happen?" Bibi Dong asked.
Before Hu Liena could answer, an icy voice came over.
"She brought it on herself."
When Hu Liena heard that icy voice, her whole body trembled slightly, and she quickly wiped the tears from her face.
Bibi Dong looked toward the voice and saw Chu Hao walking in with a cold expression.
"Xiao Hao, come here. Your teacher was just about to look for you."
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you make Nana submit to you in front of so many people?"
"You two are senior and junior disciples. How could you do something like that!"
Since Chu Hao had come and had heard it too, she might as well use this chance to ask clearly, and suppress his "arrogant attitude" along the way.
He had not even been in Martial Soul Hall for a day, yet he had already stirred up so much trouble.
If she did not control him, then later he would end up poking a hornet's nest for her. How could that be allowed?
Yes, she wanted to gain Chu Hao's approval in a short time, gain his loyalty, and let him know her kindness.
But she could not blindly indulge him either. When he deserved blame, he still had to be blamed.
"I just said it. She brought it on herself."
Chu Hao was completely unmoved by Bibi Dong's questioning and answered coldly and arrogantly.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong was both irritated and angry.
What kind of attitude was that?
Couldn't he see she was angry and questioning him?
This was the attitude he was using?
No wonder Nana complained that his attitude was bad.
Who could stand that?
But because Chu Hao had only just arrived, she did not dare be too harsh.
If she angered him into running away, she would have nowhere to cry, so she could only endure it for now.
To learn the cause of the matter, she had no choice but to ask Hu Liena, the person involved.
"Nana, what exactly happened?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Tea, Teacher, a-actually, this was all my fault."
"I..."
Hu Liena glanced at Chu Hao's icy gaze and, feeling somewhat wronged, recounted the whole incident.
She knew that with Chu Hao here, she definitely could not talk nonsense.
By the end, she was so aggrieved that she almost cried again.
That was right. Everything that had happened today had been caused by her.
But she was a victim too.
Not only had Chu Hao taken advantage of her for nothing, she had even submitted to Chu Hao in front of so many people.
It would be strange if she did not feel wronged.
After Bibi Dong finished hearing the whole story, she was a little stunned.
After all that, it had all been a series of misunderstandings caused by Hu Liena getting playful for a moment and failing to tease Chu Hao.
From the looks of it, she really could not blame Chu Hao.
However, Chu Hao's act of making Hu Liena submit to him was indeed a little excessive.
"All right, Nana, don't cry."
Seeing Hu Liena crying as if she had suffered a terrible grievance, Bibi Dong patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
Originally, she had still wanted to scold Hu Liena for making such a scene, but it seemed that would not do now.
Besides, from a woman's point of view, her heart still leaned toward Hu Liena.
"Xiao Hao, even if this whole matter was Nana's fault, you still shouldn't have gone so far. Look how wronged you've made Nana feel," Bibi Dong lightly rebuked him, her tone a little gentler.
"Too far?"
"If I didn't teach her a lesson, would she learn from it?"
Chu Hao did not think his actions had gone too far. In fact, he even felt they had been a little too light.
If not for Hu Liena's extraordinary status in Martial Soul Hall, he would have killed her with a single sword strike long ago.
Otherwise, did she really think he was easy to bully?
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised when she heard his words.
That was right. What he said made sense.
If someone made a mistake and was not given a severe lesson so they would remember it, it would only be indulgence.
Over time, naturally, even bigger problems would appear.
She had not expected this newly accepted disciple of hers to have such an exceptional mind, to even understand something like this so clearly.
Not simple!
She liked it!
However, she still had to make her stance known.
After all, Hu Liena had suffered a grievance.
At this moment, Hu Liena stopped crying as well.
It seemed she had also understood Chu Hao's intention. Everything had been for her own good.
"Xiao Hao, that may be true, but you could have used another method," Bibi Dong said with a wry smile.
"Sorry, I don't have one," Chu Hao said coldly.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was instantly speechless.
This brat was far too rigid.
Could he not tell that she was trying to find a way to step down?
And now look, he had smashed that way out with one blow.
"By the way, where do I eat, and where do I sleep?"
Perhaps the atmosphere had become a little tense, and Chu Hao did not want things to remain this awkward, so he deliberately changed the subject.
To be honest, he really was a little hungry.
"So now you know you're hungry? Come on, I'll take you two to eat. Your teacher will cook personally."
As soon as Bibi Dong heard this, she knew the step down had arrived. She directly went along with it and skipped over the previous topic, pulling Chu Hao with her left hand and Hu Liena with her right as she walked toward her private chambers.
Not bad. This kid was rather sensible, and even knew to give her a way out.
"Ah, Teacher, you're cooking personally?"
When Hu Liena heard this, she cried out in surprise.
She had grown up this much and had never eaten a meal cooked by her teacher before.
She had not expected that as soon as Chu Hao arrived, she would be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.
It made her feel as if she were just being brought along for the ride.
"What? Do you think your teacher's cooking won't taste good?" Bibi Dong said with a smile.
"Ah, no, I don't, I don't."
Hu Liena panicked a little and hurriedly waved her hands.
"Don't worry. Your teacher's cooking is delicious."
Bibi Dong had thought Hu Liena felt her cooking would be awful.
However, she had still overestimated her own culinary skills.
When she finished cooking the rice, Chu Hao and Hu Liena were instantly dumbfounded.
A perfectly good pot of white rice had been cooked into black charcoal by her.
This counted as knowing how to cook rice?
Fine. Since the rice had not turned out well, they would eat the dishes.
In the end, some of the dishes she stir-fried were too salty, some were too sweet, and some had no flavor at all.
They finally spotted a plate of vegetables that looked quite nice, only to find it was undercooked.
"Uh, Nana, Xiao Hao, I'm really sorry. I didn't know it would turn out like this."
Bibi Dong looked at the two of them, who no longer dared to move their chopsticks, and felt unspeakably awkward.
She remembered that more than ten years ago, she had been pretty good at cooking.
How come she could not do it now?
"Where's the kitchen?"
Just when Bibi Dong was feeling unbearably awkward, Chu Hao suddenly stood up and asked.
"Go out, turn left, and it's the innermost room," Bibi Dong replied.
"Mm!"
Chu Hao nodded and, without saying anything else, walked straight out.
"Xiao Hao, what are you going to do?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.
"Cook noodles!" Chu Hao replied.
"What noodles?" Bibi Dong asked again.
"Spicy beef noodles!"
Chu Hao answered casually, then entered the kitchen.
Spicy beef noodles?
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena looked at each other, waiting with a little confusion.
Could Chu Hao actually cook?
No way!
But when Chu Hao brought over the cooked noodles, the two of them were instantly drawn in by the aroma.
But why had he only brought one bowl?
Could it be that he had not cooked any for them?
