Chapter 368 Heavenly Master 75
It’s true that the Ding Yue family is exceptionally kind-hearted. Such people may feel stifled when they do things, but being friends with them is definitely comfortable because they are willing to take care of you, are good at understanding you, and won’t stab you in the back!
After talking about Ma Lele’s situation, the girls in the room sighed a bit. Ding Yue asked Situ Shuangshuang with some confusion, "Shuangshuang, why did Ma Lele end up looking so old and ugly?"
Situ Shuangshuang casually explained, "It’s quite normal. When a fierce ghost clings to someone, their body inevitably gets invaded by Yin Qi. Yin Qi does not belong to the living, and having it in the body naturally drains life force. Moreover, since Ma Lele spent so much time with the fierce ghost, and that fierce ghost did not have any fondness for Ma Lele, it must have absorbed Ma Lele’s vitality."
Situ Shuangshuang took a sip of tea and continued coolly, "Vitality is important for maintaining a person’s health and youth. When vitality is drained, a person’s physical state will naturally age, which is unavoidable. If Ma Lele had sought shelter early on in a temple, Daoist Temple, or convent and then found a master to subdue the fierce ghost, much of her vitality wouldn’t have been drained."
Hiding in another room, Chen Qi, who was sneakily watching through the Water Mirror Technique, saw Situ Shuangshuang, Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi chatting over tea. He had a satisfied expression on his face, glad that his precious disciple finally had friends to talk to. It wasn’t easy!
Unaware she had been categorized as having gained friends, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know her master’s thoughts. However, she couldn’t deny that she preferred Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi—girls who were gentle and considerate in their simplicity—to someone like Han Qiao Yu, who was as bright as a little sun shining on everyone.
This was also why Situ Shuangshuang didn’t overly reject the three girls. As for whether they could become friends, Situ Shuangshuang hadn’t thought about it.
Although she didn’t want friends, if she did develop genuine friendships, Situ Shuangshuang wouldn’t forcibly reject them. In her view, friends and love are not things you can force.
When two or more people interact, those who can become friends naturally will, and those who cannot will go their separate ways when the time is right.
After casually chatting with Ding Yue and the others for a day, Situ Shuangshuang rarely felt so at ease without being provoked to anger.
