Su Chen shook his head.
The next moment, he pointed at the diary in Shinobu Kocho's hand and feigned confusion. "Weren't you the one who pursued me first?"
"Pfft!" Shinobu Kocho spat lightly. "Su Chen was clearly the one who pursued Shinobu first!"
The girl fiercely bared her canine teeth and gave Su Chen a threatening look. "Say it! Su Chen pursued Shinobu first!"
Su Chen shook his head again. "No."
"Hmph!" Shinobu Kocho turned her head away and said indignantly, "Then neither will I."
With that, Shinobu Kocho began sorting out the documents on the desk.
Seeing this, Su Chen asked, "What's wrong? Where are you going?"
"To see the Master. There are still some things about relocating the Butterfly Mansion that I haven't finished discussing with him."
Shinobu Kocho carefully tore off the section from the diary's last page and tucked it into her pocket.
Two steps took her to the door.
Before leaving, she turned back to Su Chen. "Um... Su Chen, I didn't get to see your match yesterday. You're not angry, are you?"
Su Chen nodded. "I am."
"Pfft!" Shinobu Kocho rolled her eyes, then added, "All right, wait for me to come back! Also, I put a new Nichirin Blade in your room. Make do with it for now. I'm out of money!"
Then, with a whoosh, Shinobu Kocho vanished from Su Chen's sight.
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his kidneys were safe today. Otherwise, given Shinobu Kocho's temperament, getting caught sneaking a look at her diary might have been the end of him.
"Caw! Caw! Short-Lived Ghost got scared! Got scared!"
Seeing Su Chen at a disadvantage, his Dish Crow began hopping about excitedly again.
Of course, a moment later, Su Chen had it clutched in his hand again.
