Morning Star

Chapter 156: Shouldn't Let Her Go

This was the kind of slanderous crime that was often played out in TV dramas, and she encountered it here. But in the end, the other party was not injured, but she herself was injured.

She thought of Chu Furong's look just now, and felt a little uneasy. She wondered if she had misunderstood her.

……

Finally, with the help of the store staff, the clouded leopard was subdued again. According to Li Lingling's request, the clouded leopard was not killed, but was put back into the iron cage.

It was a big deal for a spirit pet shop when a spirit pet lost control and attacked people, and even injured them. In the end, the owner of the shop personally stepped in and selected a fifth-level spirit pet for Li Lingling that was more docile than the clouded leopard.

As for the clouded leopard, it could no longer be sold because it had injured someone. The owner asked someone to take it to the backyard. It is unknown what happened to it.

As for the injured Chujiu, the boss asked someone to treat her wound. But after all, it was not a very small pet shop and it was newly opened, so the doctor in the shop was just an ordinary doctor, so naturally he just applied some medicine and bandaged it.

Afterwards, he said he would give her a spiritual pet for free as an apology.

But Chujiu didn't want it. She couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she feed a spirit pet? Besides, there were no ordinary kittens that she liked here. Most of these monsters were intelligent, and she couldn't just pet them whenever she wanted.

Because as long as she thought of them as having intelligence, she couldn't let go. And she also had to spend time taking care of the black-hearted monsters.

When the three of them left the spirit pet shop, the owner kept apologizing and promised that next time they came, something like this would not happen again.

Chu Furong and Chu Jiu walked side by side on the road and asked in a low voice: "What happened before?"

Chujiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Furong and said firmly: "I didn't push her, she ran over by herself."

Chu Furong glanced at her with some doubt on her face.

At this moment, Li Lingling, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around and looked at Chujiu with resentment: "No? You don't even dare to admit what you did?"

Chujiu was unhappy when he heard this: "I didn't do it, so why should I admit it?"

Are you kidding me? Who does she think she is? How could she be wronged? And she was the one who got hurt. How could Li Lingling have the confidence to quarrel with her?

Chu Furong stood aside without saying anything, her eyes moving back and forth between the two people's faces. Finally, she took a deep look at Li Lingling and didn't look at or think about it any more.

Li Lingling didn't notice Chu Furong's expression, she just stared at Chu Jiu. She was unwilling to accept it, her voice became louder: "You were behind me, if it wasn't you who pushed me, who would it be? Could I have run over and been caught by the clouded leopard?"

She paused for a moment, then remembered something: "Oh, I see. I was wondering why the soul-controlling ring on the clouded leopard's neck suddenly broke. I think you broke it. You want to hurt me."

Chujiu didn't expect her to talk about the Soul Control Circle. He immediately found it funny and chuckled, "I was the one who got hurt. You mean I was looking for trouble to get myself hurt and then broke the Soul Control Circle? Besides, what basis do you have to say it was me? What evidence do you have? You should know that it wasn't just me who touched the clouded leopard, but also you and my second sister. You don't like me so much, who knows if you broke it on purpose because you wanted to hurt me. After all, you were closer to the clouded leopard than I was, but you avoided it, but I didn't. Don't you think it's weird?"

"It's obviously because your cultivation is not good enough. Why do you blame me for not being able to avoid it?" Li Lingling's eyes flickered when she said this, but she quickly became righteous again.

Chujiu sneered and said, "Today I have finally seen what it means to be a thief crying thief."

Li Lingling was furious after hearing this, and it seemed that she was going to rush up and fight with Chujiu the next moment: "Who are you calling a thief? You failed to hurt others but hurt yourself, and you are blaming me."

"Okay, everyone, say less. It's okay as long as nothing happens." Chu Furong also showed a little impatience, but quickly hid it.

Li Lingling then turned around reluctantly and continued walking forward.

……

The ninth day was the afternoon when Chu Furong and I left the inn. It was almost the evening and the sky was gradually becoming dark.

Mo Xinglan originally thought that she would come back after he woke up from a nap, but he had been waiting for her for half an hour after waking up and she still hadn't come back.

I was getting impatient, so I put away the book in my hand, slowly got out of bed, put on a pair of slippers beside the bed, and walked out the door.

After a while, he came to the stairs, held the railing with one hand, covered the wound with the other hand, and slowly went downstairs.

I had only walked halfway when I heard Chujiu's complaining voice: "What's the misunderstanding? Sister, am I your sister? I was the one who got hurt, why are you always protecting her?"

"I know you are the one who got hurt, but..." Chu Furong sighed, "If you hadn't provoked her, how could she have hurt you?"

The originally quiet inn became noisy with the entry of the two people.

After hearing what the two said, Mo Xinglan saw Chujiu's bloodstained arm, and his heart trembled and frowned, and he subconsciously quickened his pace. However, he pulled the wound and felt a sharp pain, and his body shook and he had to stop while holding the railing tightly.

She was injured? How could she get injured just by going out? She shouldn't have been allowed to go out.

Chujiu pointed at himself with a wry smile: "I provoked her? Which eye of yours saw me provoking her?"

Chu Furong: "I'm talking about the past."

“……”Chujiu was silent.

Although she didn't do those things, she really couldn't refute it. But she wasn't someone who could be manipulated by others, nor was she that kind.

Her eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she looked at Chu Furong sideways: "Second sister, I don't like being calculated by others, especially such crude means. But I was wrong before, and some things should be talked about. But I am injured and I still have to take care of Xingxing, so can you trouble second sister to ask Li Lingling to come over tomorrow."

If you hurt her, she will naturally return the favor. She is not a saint, and she cannot repay evil with kindness.

Chu Furong was very confused about her sudden change and didn't know what she was up to.

She asked doubtfully, "What do you want to do?"

Chujiu's smile deepened: "Apologize."

Let Li Lingling apologize.

"..."

Chu Furong still didn't believe it. She always felt that she was planning some conspiracy, but since she had already said that, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After a pause, he looked at Chujiu who was walking towards the stairs and said, "I will ask Lingling about this matter. If it is her fault, I will persuade her."

“…Okay.” Chujiu paused.

Zhuo Hua and Gao Yashan, who were listening to the noise in the backyard, came over. They first looked at the current situation in confusion, and then looked at Chu Jiu and Chu Furong in confusion.

Zhuohua blinked twice and asked Chu Furong: "Master, what happened?"

With such a big commotion, why didn’t the old shopkeeper come out?

Chu Furong turned her gaze away from Chu Jiu's back, let out a long breath, pinched her brows and told them everything one by one.

Mo Xinglan stopped where he was and looked at Chujiu who was walking towards him.
