NOVEL NEXT Chapter 397 Heavenly Master 104
Situ Shuangshuang was almost amused by her master's actions. Did her master think she wasn't aware of those little schemes? Trying to find friends for her all over the place, with her current personality, who knows what her master was thinking! How could he be so mysteriously confident that someone would be able to tolerate her icy demeanor?
Putting away the letter in her hand, Situ Shuangshuang sized up the young lad with a constant indifferent expression and said, "What's your name!"
Compared to Situ Shuangshuang's unceremonious scrutiny and unfriendly tone, this handsome young guy was quite courteous, showing a bright and sunny smile as he warmly introduced himself, "I'm Dong Wentao. It seems I'm a bit older than you. You can call me Brother Wen Tao or even Brother Dong. My father is a good friend of your master. Since I was coming here for university, they let me stay with you. I heard from Uncle Chen that your name is Situ Shuangshuang, right? Then I'll call you Sister Shuangshuang from now on. I'll be staying here for quite a while, so I'll be troubling you!"
Situ Shuangshuang ignored the older brother and younger sister remark and simply nodded coldly, "It's no trouble. Just take care of your own place, and no matter what you see in this courtyard in the future, don't ask any questions!"
With that, Situ Shuangshuang headed back to her room. Whether her master genuinely meant well or had other intentions, she didn't plan to comply.
Lately, her inner fire was flaring even more intensely. Her temper was practically a volcano, and everyone who interacted with her could become the spark to ignite her fire. To avoid trouble, it was best to limit interactions with people where possible.
Dong Wentao was a bit stunned by Situ Shuangshuang's reaction. All his life, he had never encountered someone so unyielding and entirely unaware of how to socialize!
Recalling what Situ Shuangshuang's master had said to him, about his disciple's reclusive nature, he thought with a wry smile, her personality is beyond reclusive! It's entirely uncommunicable!
Situ Shuangshuang didn't care about Dong Wentao's thoughts. After all, the other party had been staying in this courtyard for some time before she returned, and evidently needed no extra help to take care of himself.
On the other hand, she was exhausted both mentally and in terms of mana, suppressing the ever-growing inner fire. All she wanted was a good sleep to relax her tense spirit.
Situ Shuangshuang slept longer than ever, all the way until noon the next day, finally restoring her energy.
Feeling refreshed after washing up, Situ Shuangshuang planned to go to the kitchen to make something to eat, only to be met with a rich aroma as she stepped outside.
Wondering where this delicious smell came from, she saw Dong Wentao in the dining area outside the kitchen, wearing an apron and greeting her with a bright sunny smile, "You're awake! I made some food, come join me for a bite!"
Feeling her stomach, she realized she was indeed a bit hungry from sleeping so long. Without denying it, she gave a subtle thank you to Dong Wentao and walked over, sitting down silently to start eating.
Dong Wentao was an outgoing, enthusiastic person, facing Situ Shuangshuang's cold nature for the first time, utterly unsure of how to interact with her. After testing two conversation topics and seeing her not respond, he resigned to eating in silence.
Dong Wentao had only ever encountered such an ice-queen personality in novels. He always believed such characters were liked only in fiction; in reality, one couldn't exist without social interactions. An ice-queen persona wasn't appealing and didn't work! If someone really had such an icy demeanor, either they were childish or had mental issues!
Who would've thought he'd actually meet a girl with an ice-queen personality? Observing her, he found that she wasn't childish and had no apparent mental issues; it was simply her nature! This curious discovery made Dong Wentao wonder how someone with her personality could survive in society!
Nowadays, greeting with a smile is necessary for any job, even for CEOs. No one is obliged to tolerate someone who speaks little and is cold as ice.
Situ Shuangshuang had no clue what Dong Wentao was thinking. In truth, she knew her personality wasn't suitable for standing out in society, but fortunately, her work was unique. Those who sought her services were not picky about her temperament. On the contrary, many believed her young age and high level of cultivation meant she had been focused on cultivation without being distracted by worldly matters, thus having such a cold personality was normal.
Both sat eating, deep in their own thoughts. Dong Wentao, who loved to talk, was made uncomfortable by her cold and quiet demeanor, making him silently contemplate going out after the meal to explore, visit his future school, and perhaps make a few new friends. Otherwise, with nowhere else to go, he would have to spend time at home, which was excruciating!
Situ Shuangshuang, on the other hand, pondered while eating whether she should find a place to cultivate. Suppressing her inner fire was becoming increasingly difficult, and she urgently needed to find a solution. The safest way she could think of was to elevate her cultivation. Once she could Inner Vision her meridians and Dantian, she might come up with a solution!
After the meal, Situ Shuangshuang offered to wash the dishes and clean the table, suggesting a division of labor with Dong Wentao. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, having expected she would leave the cleaning to him since he was staying over, and handling house chores seemed reasonable.
After cleaning up, both Situ Shuangshuang and Dong Wentao intended to go out, but they were interrupted by a sudden visitor before they could leave. It was a middle-aged woman with a weary face, holding a boy of about twelve or thirteen who was unconscious.
Situ Shuangshuang recognized the woman, who had come to her before seeking help to treat her child for a spiritual encounter. The woman knew of Situ Shuangshuang's abilities, and upon entering, with a worried expression on her face, she hurriedly said, "Master, please take a look at my son. He's been unconscious for three or four days. I've been to several hospitals, and the doctors all say he's healthy and not sick, but I just can't wake him up! Please see if there's anything unusual."
As soon as the middle-aged woman spoke, Dong Wentao halted his steps towards the door, casting a subtle and curious glance at Situ Shuangshuang, clearly surprised to find that, young as she was, she was involved in mystical matters!
Situ Shuangshuang ignored Dong Wentao's gaze and opened her Dharma Eye, examining the child in the woman's arms carefully.
