At this time, Xuan Mu's face no longer had the murderous look that he had in the afternoon. When he was talking to Xi Yue, there was even a hint of gentle relaxation between his brows.
Tong Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was extremely envious of Xi Yue.
Although they are both in the foundation-building stage, Master Xi is different from him.
Such an outstanding and powerful man would actually talk to Xiyue in a gentle voice, and even let himself live in the dormitory at Xiyue's request.
He has the opportunity to stay and study with Xiyue, so he must work harder to make more people recognize him. One day, even, he wants this powerful man in front of him to speak to him equally and gently as he does to Xiyue.
Tong Bing clenched her fists, pointed at the quilt in her hand, and said awkwardly: "Senior Xuanmu, hello... hello."
As he said this, he was about to put his bedding on the bed.
There are four beds in the dormitory, placed diagonally, including upper and lower bunks. He Xi and Xuan Mu both chose the upper bunk, so Tong Bing put her bedding on Xi Yue's lower bunk.
However, before he could spread out the quilt, a man's cold voice came from above: "Get out!"
Tong Bing's body froze for a moment and she looked up in disbelief.
The man above was still handsome, but he had regained his coldness and cruelty from the afternoon. "I agreed to let you enter the courtyard, but I didn't agree to let you live in the dormitory. If you want to stay, you can go next door."
Next door... Tong Bing had tidied the dormitory before, so of course she knew what was next door.
It was a cold storage room with no spirit gathering array, no alchemy furnace, and only a cold little bed.
He Xi frowned. Seeing that he was about to speak, Xuan Mu said calmly, "Xi Yue, I let him in because of your kindness. If you keep dragging your feet, I don't mind destroying one more annoying thing."
The corners of He Xi's mouth twitched. She knew that Xuan Mu always had a bad temper and a lot of secrets. She was most afraid of others bothering him.
She suspected that a big part of the reason why he allowed her to live in his house was that she had no fewer secrets than he did that she was afraid would be discovered.
For example, the two of them often sneaked out in the middle of the night, and everyone knew it, but no one exposed the other.
It was indeed not appropriate for Tong Bing to stay here. Even when he was allowed to enter the courtyard, both she and Xuan Mu discovered some secret hidden in Tong Bing, which made them want to find out.
He Xi looked at Tong Bing and said, "Why don't you go to a separate courtyard?"
"No!" Tong Bing cried out sharply, tears falling again, "I... I said, I want to stay here and serve Master Xi."
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the indifferent man above him with tears in his eyes, "We are classmates, and this is also my dormitory, why can't I live here?"
Just as he finished speaking, Tong Bing suddenly felt a "slap" sound on his face, and a slap made of wind hit him in the face.
The man sitting on the bed didn't seem to move at all, but just uttered a few words coldly: "Because you don't deserve it!"
Tong Bing covered her red and swollen face, standing there in a daze, tears welling up on her pretty face. She looked at Xuan Mu with pleading eyes, but Xuan Mu didn't even look at her.
He Xi was also speechless, no matter whether it was Tong Bing or Xuan Mu.
Xuan Mu was overbearing, but Tong Bing couldn't understand why she had to make trouble in front of Xuan Mu when she had a better place to live. (To be continued)
