Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 524



Leng Yeling’s expression darkened. “Bai Wuqing, she has nothing to do with you anymore. Now she’s even joined the Demon Sect. She’s fallen into the demonic path, yet you’re protecting her? Aren’t you supposed to be a righteous cultivator?”

“So what?” Bai Wuqing didn’t even lift his eyes. “I, Bai Wuqing, do what I want. I don’t need a reason.”

“You’re serious?”

Bai Wuqing raised his gaze. His cold and handsome face unexpectedly carried a faint smile. “Of course.” He didn’t explain why he was doing this, leaving the impression that he simply wanted to.

He wouldn’t explain. He didn’t know how to explain. Some things simply couldn’t be explained.

He had always acted according to his own will. He couldn’t stand seeing her being bullied. Hearing Leng Yeling talk about crippling her a second time wasn’t something he could tolerate, so he chose to intervene.

This time, he wouldn’t deliberately avoid his feelings or ignore certain emotions in his heart, only to regret it later.

“Bai Wuqing, you’re really something.”

Leng Yeling, seeing that Bai Wuqing was completely unfazed and impervious to reason, was filled with resentment. Then, noticing Tang Guo calmly studying a map as if nothing had happened, he sneered coldly, “Do you really think that by doing this, she’ll be grateful to you? Impossible! Bai Wuqing, just look at her. She’s clearly just enjoying the show. That day, when you didn’t help her, she must have come to hate you.”

Bai Wuqing’s gaze shifted to Tang Guo’s face. He directly asked, “Xiao Guo, do you hate me?”

“A little,” Tang Guo answered directly, smiling. “He’s right. I hold a grudge against everyone who’s hurt me, and that includes you.”

Bai Wuqing withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and his lips curved faintly. “It’s fine. Xiao Guo hating me is only natural.”

Leng Yeling was still waiting for the two to turn against each other, but Bai Wuqing completely defied expectations and even agreed that her hatred was justified.

Since when did Bai Wuqing become such a shameless and utterly brazen person?

“You two…”

Leng Yeling gritted his teeth, unable to tolerate it any longer, and stormed off in a rage.

Bai Wuqing didn’t seem to care and simply sat down across from Tang Guo, making no move to leave. Noticing that the tea in her cup had gone cold, he reheated it and poured her a fresh cup.

His slender fingers gently held the teacup as he passed it to her. He had thought she wouldn’t accept it, but she took it.

In the past, this was how they interacted as well. Xiao Guo always had endless things to talk about when she was with him, and every cup of tea she brought was always his favorite flavor.

She understood his preferences well and often sought his advice on cultivation matters.

As her master, he truly had no reason to refuse his disciple’s questions.

He noticed the hidden affection in her eyes and the nervousness that flickered in them every time she came to see him.

At this moment, Tang Guo was only focused on the map, her head slightly lowered in thought, as if she were plotting something. Occasionally, a calculating smile would appear on her lips.

Originally, he didn’t like people who were overly scheming, but now, watching her, he couldn’t look away.

In reality, finding someone pleasing to the eye has nothing to do with whether they’re good or bad. If you find them pleasing, no matter how good or bad they are, they’ll still look pleasing. If you don’t, no matter how good they are, they’ll still be annoying.

She casually took a sip of the tea he poured, and it gave him a sense of satisfaction.

He was stunned for a moment, recalling how in the past, she would carefully prepare tea and always serve him the purest cup first. After he drank it, she seemed to take delight in his reaction. At that time, had she felt the joy he was feeling now?

Were they the same kind of happiness?

A glimmer of understanding flashed through Bai Wuqing’s eyes. It seemed he finally understood something.

“Xiao Guo has become quiet.”

Tang Guo looked up at him upon hearing this. “I was never a noisy person to begin with.”

“You…” Bai Wuqing was momentarily stunned. He wanted to ask why she had always been so cheerful and lively in front of him before.

Tang Guo seemed to know what he wanted to ask. Her lips curled into a faint smile as she uttered the word, “Pretending.”

“Pretending to be cute. Got it? I heard you liked that.”

Bai Wuqing: … He… he never liked cute things before.

Who said he did?
