Chapter 251: Old Grudges

Translated by Kollumceti

"Ling Xiao went out? What time did he leave? What did he go out to do?"

After You XiaoMo found Ling Xiao's pavilion, he did not even enter it before he was told about Ling Xiao's absence. Moreover, Ling Xiao was gone since yesterday.

"Why are you asking for so many details?" The one who told him the news was a youngster of about nineteen years. You XiaoMo had just casually asked for information. Who would have thought that this youngster would immediately question him so closely? He eventually looked straight at You XiaoMo with a guarded expression. However, You XiaoMo did not know why he was on the alert.

He then recalled that the others may not know about the relationship between Ling Xiao and him.

They had only been seen together at the sales area for magic pills and at Elder Gong's realtor office. Other than those two places, they had not been anywhere else. That knowledge of their relation having not spread would be logical.

You XiaoMo said: "I'm his friend. I have some business with him."

The youngster did not instantly believe him, and suspiciously asked: "His friend? Elder Brother Ling has just entered the DaoXin Academy a few days ago. When did he have such a friend like you? Could it be that you're lying about being his friend since Elder Brother Ling is famous and strong?"

You XiaoMo, who was under suspicion, silently wiped the blood off his face and calmly replied: "I am from Block Two. I entered the academy together with Ling Xiao."

Damn, what do you mean by 'such a friend like you'?!

Why can't Laozi be Ling Xiao's friend? Let me tell you, Laozi and Ling Xiao's relationship is super close!
T/n: Laozi (老子 ) "I" in anger, or out of contempt, literally translated as "your dad"

If I admitted it, you would die of envy!

"I see, so you are a mage. What business do you have with him?" The youngster stubbornly defended the entrance with an attitude akin to that of a pavilion guard. Although he believed You XiaoMo, he was still unwilling to let him pass.

You XiaoMo raised his eyebrow, "As his friend, why do I have to tell you why I'm looking for him?"

The youngster was immediately dissatisfied, and loudly replied: "Elder Brother Ling is out. He entrusted me with looking after his pavilion. Even though you are his friend, I have no need to tell you of his whereabouts."

You XiaoMo disregarded the youngster's proud tone and said, "Are you sure that Ling Xiao asked you to help him keep an eye on his pavilion?"

It was not that he wanted to doubt the youngster. Rather, he understood Ling Xiao's character very well. This youngster looked soft and weak, yet his eyes held an arrogant and haughty gaze. With a look, one could tell that he was a spoiled little child. Ling Xiao definitely would not like this type of person, and it would be even more impossible for him to have asked the youngster to look after his pavilion. Not to mention, there was a barrier outside the pavilion. Only those with Ling Xiao's approval could enter - the rest could only look in from outside.

No matter how one would put it, the needless actions of this youngster gave one a superfluous feeling.

You XiaoMo was willing to swear on his family jewels that Ling Xiao absolutely did not ask for him to keep an eye on the pavilion. He was one hundred percent certain that the youngster was just showering affection on an uninterested party.

Soon enough, when the youngster heard his doubts, an unnatural expression flashed across his handsome face. To cover up his guilty conscience, he cried out loudly, "Of course he asked me to, if not, there would be people like you looking for him every day! Elder Brother Ling would be annoyed to death! Let me advise you not to shower affection on an uninterested party. Elder Brother Ling would never fancy a person like you."
