Chapter 269 Am I Not Handsome

Lan Zun asked Murong Xue, "Well, where have you been all this time?" The first thing he wanted to know was where she came from because he believed that he would have known if she had had a rebirth.

"Stay at my home…" Murong Xue watched him, eyes blinking.

"No kidding. Seriously."

"I'm serious. It's true." Murong Xue felt wronged.

Now Lan Zun started to know her character and understood that she could easily irritate people. He felt angry and then amused, "Don't you want to find your parents?"

Hearing this, Murong Xue straightened her back and answered, "I, Mu Tian, come from the earth where people are able to travel thousands of miles a day without cultivation."

Lan Zun interrupted, "Stop! Where is the earth?"

"The earth is in space."

"Where is space?"

Looking up at the sky, Murong Xue did not know if the sky was the same one she used to see on the earth. She pointed at the sky and explained, "Space is far away beyond the sky."

"Nonsense. You mean you are from the God Realm?" Lan Zun stood up at once when he heard her answer because he knew she was unable to go there at this level.

Murong Xue shrugged. "I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, I'm from another world."

"You've been to another world?" Lan Zun changed his face several times, but the mask covered everything.

"No, you should say I come from another world. This aside, when will you help me find my parents? I'm really worried about them." Murong Xue said.

"Don't worry. I'll make an announcement later. But why are you looking for them here if you're from another world?" Lan Zun felt puzzled.

"Long story. In a word, my parents came to this world by accident. Me, too. Here's a picture of them. Master, please." Murong Xue took out her cellphone. Although there was no signal, the solar-powered cellphone still could display photos.

Murong Xue saw Lan Zun's puzzled face and explained, "Don't ask me what this is. It's also from my world. You wouldn't understand and it's of no use here."

Lan Zun nodded, and then a crystal ball popped out of nowhere in his hands. His hands moved around the ball and the faces of Murong Xue's parents appeared on the surface of the ball. Murong Xue saw him cast a spell on the ball, and the ball began to glow immediately, similar to shooting stars all over the sky.

After a while, Lan Zun tucked away the crystal ball and said, "Okay. We'll get news on them in a few days."

Murong Xue stared at him in amazement. This high-tech crystal ball was much more convenient than online communication, and she doubted if he delivered the message simply by the ball.

She came near Lan Zun with a flattering face and asked in a shy voice, "Dear Master, what is it?" She wanted this convenient tool.

Lan Zun took a sideways glance at her and answered, "A special communicator."

"Oh, just like my cellphone. Well, Master, you didn't give me the gift of greeting, so..." Murong Xue grinned and winked at Lan Zun, searching for the crystal ball. She did not see his storage ring or any pockets, so she wondered where he stored it.

"Here you are." Lan Zun took out an exquisite hairpin from his bosom.

Murong Xue took it over and saw an exquisite hairpin. She gave him the cold shoulder. "I don't want it. I want the crystal ball."

Lan Zun looked at her as if he had met an idiot. "You want that cheap crystal ball instead of this Immortal Implement?" He now felt that her IQ went down with her character.

"Immortal Implement?" Murong Xue looked at the hairpin and felt surprised.

"Give it back if you don't want it." Lan Zun reached out for it.

Murong Xue put it in the Space at once and questioned, "There's no reason to take the greeting gift back."

"Master, why do you wear a mask? Are you too ugly to show your face?" Murong Xue was curious.

Lan Zun silently cursed her and regretted taking her on as his student, which made him suffer. He asked, "Why? You are curious?"

Murong Xue nodded.

"You want to take a look?"

Murong Xue nodded again.

"But only my better half is allowed to see my face. Are you sure? You are a man, but love is not only between men and women. If you love me so much, I'll grant your wish." Lan Zun tried to remove his mask while saying these.

Murong Xue rushed forward and pressed his mask hard. "No, I don't. Master, please take care of your mask and make sure it won't fall off in front of me." She was scared when she heard that the one who saw his face would be his partner.

Lan Zun could smell the fresh fragrance coming from her, and his voice became a little husky. "Really?"

Murong Xue shook her head desperately. "As long as I'm alive."

"Good. Lucky me. Seeing your unpleasant look, I was thinking that what I should do." Lan Zun patted his breast as a gesture of relief.

Murong Xue felt a twitch in the corners of her lip, her teeth gritted, "Master, are you too old to see clearly? I'm a frigging confident and handsome man. My pretty face incurs so much hatred that ugliness has nothing to do with me." She knew she was a good-looking man now, so she doubted that her Master did not have an eye for good things.

Lan Zun answered in a sincere tone, "No, I think you're ugly."

"Ahh! How could you! I'll never speak to you again. Master is a big villain." Lan Zun's sincerity hurt Murong Xue and she ran away.

Standing still for a while, Lan Zun burst into laughter, which sounded like sweet tinkle of bells. All of a sudden, the bamboos were swaying, which seemed to echo with the owner's happiness.

When Lin Nan and the others saw Mu Tian run out of there with his face covered, they all changed their faces. The first thought that occurred to them was that Mu Tian was bullied.

Murong Xue ran really fast and they sped up to catch up with her.

Murong Xue did not stop until she was in the streets.

When Lin Nan and the others arrived, they saw Murong Xue making eyes at the girls passing by.

Lin Nan grabbed Murong Xue's arm, panted, and asked, "Mu Tian, are you okay?"

Murong Xue answered with a smile, "I'm fine."

Zhao Qi asked carefully, "Then why did you run out crying? Did Mr. Lan Zun...?"

Just as they had suspected, Murong Xue changed her face and looked at them seriously when they mentioned Lan Zun.

They looked at Mu Tian nervously. They decided that they would die to defend his honor if Mu Tian was really wronged.

Murong Xue asked, "Tell me. Am I handsome?"

"What?"

"What? Am I not handsome?" Murong Xue's grudge was very obvious.

Lin Nan and the others felt a twitch in the face and asked, "Why do you ask, Mu Tian?"

Murong Xue pouted and accused, "Master said I was ugly."

Hearing this, Lin Nan and the others stiffened their faces and they could hear people passing by talking about them. Lin Nan dragged Mu Tian back to the inn at once.

After a long time, Mu Tian stopped crying.

Lin Nan asked with a dark face, "You ran out of there crying just because of that?"

Murong Xue blew her nose and nodded. "You tell me. Wasn't he out of line?"

Now they felt that they were stupid enough to worry about Mu Tian being bullied.

They all rose up at once. Even Wu Xiaomei, the most caring one among them, stopped comforting Mu Tian and opened the door of the room, ready to leave.

"Hey, hey, where are you going? I'm not done talking."

"Hey, listen to me."

"Bang!"

They slammed the door.

Blowing her nose, Murong Xue froze for a while and wondered what she did wrong.

Annoyed, she threw away the handkerchief and lay down on the bed to rest. She did not expect them to be too petty to take the joke.

Others came back to their rooms and swallowed down a few cups of boiled water to dispel the disturbance inside them that made them want to beat Mu Tian.

At the same time, Feng Ziling and Feng ZiLing returned home and were questioned by the elder in the family, their parents included. They were asked about what had happened in the Death Forest and how they had managed to escape.

Before going home, Feng Ziling and his sister had worked out a reasonable explanation to cover for Mu Tian. The consequences would be catastrophic if people knew about his mighty Space, so they decided to say nothing about him. Both of them wanted to protect Mu Tian. Although Feng ZiLing did not say anything, Feng Ziling knew that his sister liked Mu Tian according to his understanding of his sister.

No one could dislike such a man.

Therefore, Feng Ziling only told his family about the powerful man they met in the Death Forest and the black hole. He reported that there was no treasure and that they separated to escape there in disguise. He briefly talked about the legend of purple-level.

The elder in the family were all interested in that man, so they did not ask much about other things.
