"Ah! Huh?" Yi Feng hesitated and explained, "Spirit Master... we are only going to take a rest, we're not..." We're not returning to the Yi Family.

Bai Ze glanced at Shen Ying and replied coolly, "I have not finished eating."

"..." What does that mean? What hasn't he finished eating? Fruits? But wasn't Sect Master Shen the one who was eating the fruits?

Before he could ask anything, Yi Qing interrupted with a cold expression, "Not to trouble you, Fellow Daoist. I have always been in charge of Master's meals."

Yi Qing stepped forward and took the plate from Bai Ze's hands, but Bai Ze refused to let go of the plate. Yi Qing kept trying to pull the plate over, but to no avail.

They locked eyes and static filled the air between them once again.

"No need."

"You're a guest."

"I'm comfortable holding this."

"I'm Master's only disciple. I am in charge of these things."

"I served her food before."

"That's only because I was in seclusion!"

"You can continue to be in seclusion."

"Sorry to disappoint you, Fellow Daoist, I will not go into seclusion for the next few hundreds of years."

Bai Ze: I hate mortals.

Yi Qing: Master-stealing bastard.

The two of them tugged at the plate, neither willing to give in. The atmosphere got extremely tense.

A while later...

"Are you guys..." Shen Ying looked at the two of them and chewed hard on a melon, "flirting?"

"..."

"Don't misunderstand, I have nothing against gays," she gestured for them to carry on.

The group: "..."

"Master!" Yi Qing regained her composure and turned to Shen Ying, anger flashing in his eyes. He could take it no longer. He retreated and pointed to Bai Ze, "He calls himself Bai Ze, but Bai Ze is a legendary ancient immortal beast. No one has seen it before and nobody knows if it really exists. How can it appear in the mortal world? I think this person has come to Invincible Sect harbouring evil intentions."

"I have no evil intentions," Bai Ze grew increasingly irritated with this mortal, who seemed hell-bent on opposing him. "I am here to play, it is Shen... your Master who invited me here."

"That's impossible," Yi Qing shook his head. Other than eat and sleep, Master never cares about anyone or anything else. She doesn't even have many friends. Why would she invite you..."

"Er..." Shen Ying pursed her lips. "I did invite him."

"Master!" Yi Qing's eyes widened in disbelief. Betrayal was written all over his face. You're helping this little bastard?

Under Yi Qing's glare, Shen Ying's hair began to stand. She explained, "I said so in passing. I didn't think..." After all, he did look delicious as a beast.

"That... Furball, what did you come here for?" You couldn't have come all this way just to play.

Bai Ze stuttered. His calm and cool expression became one of panic. "I... want to... want to..."

He was unable to complete his sentence, even after a long time. He looked at the Black Spirit Blossom in Lonemoon's hands and thought of something to say, but not before he blushed a deeper shade.
