The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 535 - 499 Very Satisfied

"Yanjing, why do I feel like the little sister-in-law seems to really like Muyao?" Lin Huai Shu suddenly said while watching.

Lu Mengyi turned her head to look at Lin Huai Shu.

Lin Huai Shu also looked at her and paused for a moment before asking, "What, what’s wrong?"

"Lin Huai Shu, if you’re dissatisfied with me, you can come at me directly," Lu Mengyi said, "Don’t drag Lu Muyao into this."

"Ah." Lin Huai Shu was momentarily stunned, then glanced at Gu Yanjing and snickered, "I, I was just expressing myself casually. The ’like’ I mentioned is the kind of like an older sister has for her younger brother. Yanjing won’t get jealous. He’s not stupid. The way little sister-in-law looks at Muyao is totally like looking at a child."

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Lu Mengyi also remained silent.

Lin Huai Shu added, "And the gaze from the little sister-in-law... makes you feel like Muyao is only fifteen or sixteen. It’s definitely not a look for an eighteen-year-old adult."

Indeed.

From the first time Qiao Yuxian met Lu Muyao, Lu Mengyi had noticed.

Although Lu Muyao appeared very mature in others’ eyes,

making him seem well over eighteen,

but the way Qiao Yuxian looked at him was just like looking at a kid.

They stood a little far away, unable to hear their conversation.

Gu Yanjing watched for a while; seeing they had no intention of fighting again, he approached them.

Lu Mengyi and Lin Huai Shu followed him.

Lu Muyao was still glaring at Qiao Yuxian for making him call her sister.

Qiao Yuxian waited for a while.

It was expected that he wouldn’t call her what she wanted.

She didn’t actually want to hear him call her that.

She just wanted to tease him, to see his angry face.

"Can you do what you say?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Of course." Lu Muyao’s voice had relaxed a bit, possibly because the pain had subsided some, "Once I’ve promised, I’ll do it."

"Alright then." Qiao Yuxian nodded, "You come work for me. I’ll pay you."

Lu Muyao was stunned.

He didn’t quite comprehend her words.

What does working for her mean?

And she’d pay him?

What kind of situation is this?

He even wondered if she wanted him to do something for her.

But she brought up something like this.

Gu Yanjing walked over and stood behind Qiao Yuxian.

The glaring sun above Qiao Yuxian’s head was blocked; she looked up, then leaned back directly onto Gu Yanjing’s leg, giving him a sweet, obedient smile.

Just from looking at that smile, you’d never guess how fierce she had just been.

"Heading back?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Mmhmm." Qiao Yuxian raised her arm.

Gu Yanjing grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

As she stood, Gu Yanjing bent over intending to dust off the dirt on her backside.

But Qiao Yuxian sidestepped, dodging it, and patted it herself.

Gu Yanjing’s hand paused, then he straightened up.

Lu Mengyi and Lin Huai Shu watched his actions from the sidelines.

Two seconds later, Lin Huai Shu turned away, biting her lip to suppress her laughter.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing, then turned to Lu Muyao, "Remember what I said. When I have time, I’ll take you to my place to check things out, and we can sign a contract."

Lu Muyao looked up at her again.

He was still in a daze.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t bother with him anymore, said a few words to Lu Mengyi and Lin Huai Shu, and left with Gu Yanjing.

When Gu Yanjing turned and led Qiao Yuxian away, he gave Lin Huai Shu a light kick.

Lin Huai Shu stumbled forward a couple of steps, "Hey! You!"

Gu Yanjing didn’t turn back and led Qiao Yuxian away.

Lin Huai Shu watched his back and showed him a clenched fist.

Thinking: Just a little laugh, and you hold a grudge like this.

Lu Mengyi pulled Lu Muyao up, "Are you alright?"

Lu Muyao rubbed his chest and said, "I’m fine, the pain has eased."

"Learned your lesson?" Lu Mengyi asked.

Lu Muyao kept quiet, but the defiance in his expression was gone, though he still looked unhappy.

Lin Huai Shu glanced at the two siblings and left first.

After Lin Huai Shu left, Lu Muyao said, "Sister, you always knew she was that strong?"

"No." Lu Mengyi said, "I knew she was strong. But not this strong."

She thought Qiao Yuxian’s capabilities might be even greater.

Truly someone who rises to the challenge.

"Sister." Lu Muyao called her again.

She looked at him.

Lu Muyao had a bit of a bitter face and paused before saying, "Qiao Yuxian seems to want to sign me."

"Yeah, I heard." Lu Mengyi said, "You agreed, but now you’re thinking of backing out?"

"No." Lu Muyao said one word, his face even more bitter, as he pouted, "But I don’t want to be a celebrity."

Lu Mengyi was noticeably stunned.

A celebrity?

It took her a couple of seconds to realize what he meant.

He thought Qiao Yuxian wanted to sign him to Xi Mei.

Lu Mengyi: "......"

Lu Mengyi looked at her brother.

She started doubting the child’s intelligence.

Normally pretty smart, but when it comes to Qiao Yuxian, his IQ seems to drop.

She really wanted to ask him.

Can you sing, dance, or act? Apart from your face...

Alright then, that face alone is enough.

Signing him isn’t impossible for Qiao Yuxian.

Maybe she can make a quick buck off it.

But it’s clear Qiao Yuxian is testing his martial arts skills.

It was the case the night before and today, too.

So the contract Qiao Yuxian is talking about definitely isn’t for signing him to Xi Mei.

Lu Mengyi looked at Lu Muyao.

"Sister, do I look like someone who can debut?" Lu Muyao was arrogant yet had a clear understanding of himself.

Lu Mengyi said nothing.

But she didn’t know what intention prompted her to hold back from telling him that Qiao Yuxian wasn’t trying to sign him to Xi Mei.

She felt influenced by Qiao Yuxian and also wanted to tease Lu Muyao a little.

So she patted his shoulder and said, "Having a celebrity in our family wouldn’t be bad."

Hearing that, Lu Muyao’s face turned bitter to the point of greening. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

...

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian were heading back together.

Qiao Yuxian was dusting off her clothes as she walked.

Although she was confident she could beat Lu Muyao, Lu Muyao was indeed formidable.

Besides getting tangled up with Yan Ting, Lu Muyao has been the only one to do so.

Gu Yanjing was picking grass clippings off Qiao Yuxian’s clothes and hair.

Qiao Yuxian gave her clothes another pat, then stopped walking to look at Gu Yanjing, "Are you upset?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her without saying anything.

Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment, "Is it because I got into a fight?"

After asking, she denied it herself, "No, no. You’re probably worried I’ll have more bruises."

"Or is it..." Qiao Yuxian clasped her hands behind her back, tiptoed closer to Gu Yanjing, and grinningly asked, "Gu Shao is jealous?"

Gu Yanjing flicked her forehead gently with his finger.

Qiao Yuxian rubbed the spot where she was flicked.

Gu Yanjing said, "Are you wanting him to join Nine Emperor Hall?"

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow and nodded, "He’s extremely talented. Young, and will only get better. With such talent, Nine Emperor Hall doesn’t want to miss out."

"What about at the Lu family, was this already your plan?" Gu Yanjing asked again.

Qiao Yuxian nodded, "Well... Liu Zhou, Yuan Wei, Qin Xia, Yu Heng, their skills are all great. But there’s still a need for someone better. Because aside from their skill, they need something more. And you?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"I’m multi-talented," Qiao Yuxian boasted, "I don’t count. It’s everyone else apart from me."

"Actually, I’ve been scouting for such a person all this time. But I’ve never found anyone satisfactory. Lu Muyao impresses me a lot."
