Chapter 88 Timely rescue
It would have been better if he didn't try to comfort him. As soon as Murong Li saw Bai Qingcang opening his mouth, he became even angrier. He immediately pointed at Bai Qingcang's face and started to curse him:
"Bai Qingcang, you are playing a double act with your apprentice! So this is what you are planning. I tell you two, it's impossible!"
At this moment, Bai Qingcang's expression was quite subtle, with three question marks on his head. He had no idea what was going on. Didn't he just comfort Murong? Why did he become the target of the other party's scolding?
Of course, it was not only Bai Qingcang who had a confused look on his face, but also Rong Zhao. He looked at Lin Qingqing with a questioning look, only to see Lin Qingqing with her head buried in the rice bowl like an ostrich, oblivious to the outside world and only wanting to finish the bowl of rice. Rong Zhao laughed at once. What was going on?
"Eh? Murong, you are going to kill your brother for the sake of justice! Let's talk it out clearly. No one can understand you if you're being sarcastic." Bai Qingcang was scolded for no reason and immediately got angry. He rolled up his sleeves as if ready to have a big fight with Murong Li, but was stopped in time by Rong Zhao who was quietly eating his own food on the side.
"Ask the disciple you are so proud of what good he has done!"
Seeing Bai Qingcang's attitude, Murong Li was so angry that his beard stretched out. He immediately started to argue with him, and also stood up and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight in the next second.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Qingqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If this continued, the entire Wuxin Peak cafeteria would be forcibly demolished by the two men. In order to avoid the master paying money because of her, she had to stand up immediately to stop them and said:
"Alright! Master, stop making a fuss. I just said close-fitting, but I didn't mean that close-fitting person! I meant the personal alchemist that you use."
The entire staff cafeteria was unusually quiet. It turned out that when Murong Li suddenly shouted loudly, the onlookers had already hidden a kilometer away and were quietly eating melons. They did not dare to get too close, for fear that the two Nascent Soul cultivators would fight and hurt innocent people. Besides, before eating the melon of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would have to consider whether they would be able to survive. This certainly did not include Elder Yunmeng.
However, Lin Qingqing, who thought everything was going well, only heard the two of them say in unison: "Shut up!"
Being scolded, Lin Qingqing reflexively shrank her neck back, and the chair accidentally made a strange noise. Three pairs of cold eyes immediately looked at Lin Qingqing, which made her scalp numb. But the situation had developed to this point, and if she didn't say anything, it would be a bit unreasonable. If she wanted to blame someone, she should blame Rong Zhao for dragging her to the cafeteria to eat today!
Just when they didn't know how things would end, a colorful light flew by and stopped beside the four people. The light changed and its true face was revealed. It turned out to be Elder Yunmeng, who had met Lin Qingqing once before.
"The cafeteria hasn't been this lively for a long time," Yun Meng smiled at them. When she approached Murong Li, she put her hand on his shoulder affectionately and said in a gentle tone, "Murong, I think you should stop being angry. Your behavior is purely out of concern. It's right to love your little apprentice, but you have to listen patiently and stop making up nonsense."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly slapped Murong Li, who had no time to react. Contrary to the tone of her words just now, her action was extremely fierce and instantly calmed Murong Li down.
Afterwards, Yun Meng turned his gaze to Lin Qingqing again, changing his gentle tone and speaking to her in a serious tone: "You too, as Murong's apprentice, if there is something that needs to be reported, report it in time, and communicate patiently when necessary. Don't hide everything from your master. Look, isn't this the scene where the truth was revealed? You made it so ugly for no reason, and almost caused a big mistake. Why don't you apologize to your master and Uncle Bai as soon as possible."
As Yun Meng spoke, she secretly winked at Lin Qingqing, who immediately understood.
Lin Qingqing was naturally grateful for Elder Yunmeng's spontaneous behavior. Wasn't this just giving both parties a way out? As a junior and a party involved in the incident, she should admit her mistakes and ease the tense relationship between the two parties.
So, Lin Qingqing followed Yunmeng's words and obediently said to her master Murong Li respectfully: "Master, I am very sorry. I didn't explain things clearly, which made you angry. It's all my fault."
Then she turned to Bai Qingcang, put on a very polite look, and said respectfully: "Uncle Bai, I am very sorry to disturb your lunch. It is my fault. I beg for your forgiveness."
When someone apologizes solemnly, things become simple. Besides, it's not a big deal in the first place, so Bai Qingcang naturally won't hold on to it. He just smiled and nodded, indicating that the matter is over.
But the failure was that Murong Li discovered the blind spot and broke down the steps.
"Having said that, my disciple doesn't know how to make pills at all! How could he possibly become Rong Zhao's personal alchemist? This is clearly, clearly..." He frowned, looking indignant.
This time, four pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Qingqing, waiting to see what explanation she could give.
At this time, Lin Qingqing was being stared at by so many eyes. She was very nervous and wanted to explain something. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her palms were sweating. For a moment, she just wanted to escape, but she couldn't do it. Yunmeng noticed her little action at once. Yunmeng reacted immediately and grabbed her pigtail from behind to prevent her from escaping.
"Hehe..." At this moment, Lin Qingqing's smile was uglier than crying, and she weakly negotiated, "Well, let's talk about it another day, okay?"
"No!" The other four had never been so united.
Lin Qingqing had no choice but to turn her attention to Rong Zhao, hoping that he could save her from the dire straits. However, unexpectedly, Rong Zhao calmly turned his head to the other side, indicating that he did not want to get involved in this mess at all, and looked like he was leaving it to himself.
Besides, he also wanted to hear Lin Qingqing's answer. Could it be that this girl had been deceiving him all along and didn't know how to make alchemy at all? She was using the excuse of deceiving and cheating people everywhere, intending to take advantage of him?
Thinking of this, Rong Zhao suddenly felt very unhappy. He turned his head towards Lin Qingqing, curled his lips and gave a wicked smile, which made Lin Qingqing feel inexplicably cold and got goose bumps.
