Chapter 39 - 39
The inside of the cave was dark and gloomy. Whenever the cold wind blew, Shen Qingqiu's wet clothes would stick to his skin, making him shiver violently.
To one side, Luo Binghe's outer robe still lay tossed on the ground.
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but get caught up in a bout of nostalgia. Even though Luo Binghe never got angry during the time that he trained Qing Jing Peak, unlike his current explosive temper, just then the way he looked when he retreated in a rage after Shen Qingqiu threw off his robe unexpectedly made Shen Qingqiu see a shadow of the little sheep he used to be.
After his bout of nostalgia, a vicious burst of cold made him want to sneeze. Shen Qingqiu didn't have a better option, so he might as well grab that black robe and slowly pull it over his body.
There was nothing that could be done. After all, by refusing Luo Binghe's robe he was not expressing self-righteous distaste—he simply couldn't do this sort of thing in front of Luo Binghe.

He stammered, "S...s.. Elder Shen, you..."
Shen Qingqiu didn't notice anything strange. "What about me?"
