Back in their courtyard, Xiao Mo tactfully pieced together what had happened.
He was actually quite touched that Jing Ci had argued with the other girls over him.
But Xiao Mo didn't think it was necessary.
What other people thought of him was their business.
What mattered was how he acted and how he saw himself.
'If Jing Ci wants to play, she should just go play.'
Besides, Xiao Mo thought it was a good thing to have more time for his cultivation.
"I won't! We're friends. If they won't be friends with you, then I won't be friends with them!"
When Xiao Mo shared his thoughts with Jing Ci, she just puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away.
Seeing her adorable pout, Xiao Mo just smiled and said no more.
A few days later, however, the same group of young Demon Race girls sought out Tushan Jing Ci again.
They apologized to her, adding that Xiao Mo could join them to play and that they were willing to be his friends, too.
