Chapter 102: Leaving the Market
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door, startling both master and servant who were in the middle of their meal.
Uncle Zhou furiously jumped to his feet. "That scoundrel is here again! I’m going to fight him!"
Song Ying quickly pulled him back. "Don’t be angry, Uncle Zhou. Let him say whatever he wants. In the market, he wouldn’t dare actually lay a hand on us mortals. You just need to keep the gong ready. If he tries anything, he’ll get into big trouble."
Uncle Zhou clenched his fists in frustration. "But, Miss, your whole life is being ruined by this!"
Song Ying adjusted her veil. She knew that the veil couldn’t hide her from the eyes of an immortal cultivator. She had always been careful, never wandering about unnecessarily. Yet, despite her precautions, an immortal cultivator had caught sight of her true face, and since then, he had been relentlessly pestering her.
Fortunately, the rules of Shaohua Mountain were strict, and Song Ying's background wasn't ordinary. The man dared not cross the line.
Still, Song Ying knew that this couldn’t last forever. The divide between mortals and immortals was vast. Even if his cultivation level was low, the man had countless ways to deal with a mere mortal like her. So, she endured his harassment, never daring to provoke him.
Creak.
