In the blink of an eye, the day of celebration arrived quietly.

That morning, Mu Qingyuan finally got the approval of Master Qingzhu and was released from house arrest.

After a sudden enlightenment three days ago and two nights ago, she has successfully broken through to the Mahayana stage.

Mu Qingyuan pushed open the door refreshed and ran into Luo Lanting who had been guarding the door for a long time.

"……Why are you here?"

Mu Qingyuan took two steps back to create some distance and spoke defensively.

She thought about it later.

Although Lorantin's words were meant to defend her, it seemed that there was no positive guidance other than adding fuel to the fire.

It's possible that this is a trap set by Loranting and his gang together with Lanshan.

Mu Qingyuan only regretted that she did not go directly to the main peak of Qingzhu Peak when she returned to the sect.

Even though the blame may still be put on her soon, at least she can still struggle.

At least I can have an alibi.

Rather than being caught cheating in the act once you return home, it would be better to apologize to Master Qingzhu.

Anyway, she doesn't have much feelings for her cheap master.

Those confusing memories left no trace in her mind except for a feeling of irritation and hatred towards Arashiyama.

"I'm waiting...your master asked me to wait for you."

Luo Lanting smiled ingratiatingly, rubbing his slender fingertips, and his fox eyes, similar to Luo Lanyan's, revealed a naive air.

He was so focused on staring at Mu Qingyuan that he didn't pay attention to his feet and stumbled over the threshold.

Mu Qingyuan: “…”

This person didn't seem so stupid before, right?

She stepped out and locked the tattered door.

Even though this lock could be broken even by cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, and there was a protective mechanism in the courtyard to keep strangers away, Mu Qingyuan still got a copper lock.

Just think of it as a psychological effect. I always feel unsafe when I leave home without locking the door.

"The party is in the evening. Do you want to go walking around town with me?"

Luo Lanting spoke hesitantly and explained in a tangled manner:

"I was the one who caused the incident that day. I have already told my brother that our engagement will be cancelled once the news has passed."

Seeing that Mu Qingyuan's expression didn't change, he couldn't help but defend himself a few more times:

"I like you, but I will never be with you through this kind of means..."

"If you like someone, what's the point of using tricks?"

"If you want to please your loved one, you should do it in an upright way."

"I'm sorry for ruining your innocence."

If these words were all part of the performance, then Luo Lanyan's acting skills at this moment could be considered to be at the level of a modern movie emperor.

Mu Qingyuan couldn't see any false expression on the other person's face and closed her eyes helplessly.

“…It’s settled.”

She decided to trust him just once.

"I'll cancel the engagement once the storm has passed."

She didn't hate Luo Lanyan, but she also had no intention of becoming a Taoist partner with him.

If the other person can really make her feel something in the future, then let’s talk about it.

As for the present, she was full of rebellious psychology and would never tolerate the calculated marriage.

"……it is good."

Although Luo Lanting felt disappointed, he felt a little relieved when he saw that Mu Qingyuan was not so averse to him.

He still wanted to fight for himself, but he definitely didn't want to go against Mu Qingyuan's sensitivity.

Mu Qingyuan and Luo Lanyan arrived at the main peak of Qingzhu Peak one after another.

The example of being cheated a few days ago was still fresh in her mind, so she declined Luo Lanting's invitation and waited obediently in the banquet hall.

The hall had not been decorated yet, and a group of errand disciples were busy moving things around.

Mu Qingyuan saw a young disciple struggling to carry a table, so she used her spiritual energy to help him.

The young disciple was sweating profusely as he was moving the heavy long table. Just when he was about to drop it, he suddenly felt his hands lighten.

He looked around subconsciously.

The errand disciples around him were busy with their own things and no one paid attention to him.

His eyes widened as he realized that some kind and powerful being was helping him.

The little disciple's chubby face showed joy. He carried the long table happily, feeling full of energy.

"You are kind-hearted."

Luo Lanting lowered his eyes, "Why can't you do the same to me..."

Be soft-hearted.

He didn't finish his words, and Mu Qingyuan was too lazy to think about it. She picked up the pastry on the side and took a big bite.

The delicate petal-shaped pastries are a little cloyingly sweet.

"If you like this peach blossom pastry, ask the disciples in the dining hall to send more to you in the future."

Lanshan came from nowhere and stared at Mu Qingyuan with a smile.

Luo Lanting looked at this man, and could not connect him with the "unfathomable" guy described by his brother.

He clearly looks like a gentle and kind senior brother.

"Junior sister, you are still the same as always. You only dare to vent your anger on cakes."

Lanshan leaned close to Mu Qingyuan's ear and chuckled in a low voice.

Mu Qingyuan felt that this man's sarcasm skills were max.

"Of course I can't compare to my senior brother's foresight and boldness."

Mu Qingyuan responded with a wry smile.

Lanshan smiled without any concern, obviously not taking the furry kitten's scratching claws seriously.

It's not painful or itchy, and it's even funny and cute.

Luo Lanting seemed to be completely unaware of the undercurrent between the two brothers and sisters, and stupidly went over to please his beloved's "family".

"Congratulations to Lanshan Jun for breaking through the Mahayana stage and achieving transcendence. I have heard about it a long time ago..."

Luo Lanting spoke eloquently and praised him with all his might.

Mu Qingyuan curled her lips, stared with lifeless eyes, turned around and picked up the green pastry on the table.

Lanshan was a little impatient at first, but when he saw Mu Qingyuan's unhappy expression, as if she had eaten a fly, he found it very interesting, so he patiently listened.

And Lorantin became more and more anxious as he spoke.

He had almost vomited out all the ink in his stomach, and he couldn't come up with any words of praise.

He looked at Mu Qingyuan for help, but found that she had already been daydreaming with the pastries in her arms.

But fortunately, Lanshan was staring at him with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, as if he was pleased by him.

Lorantin: ...

Is Arashiyama-kun such a person?

Do you like compliments so much?!

Fortunately, a disciple of the Sword Sect who came to deliver the message rescued Luo Lanting, otherwise he would have to continue racking his brains to come up with words.

"Big Brother! Master is waiting for you in the inner hall. It seems that he has something to discuss with you."

Lanshan nodded and smiled apologetically to Luo Lanting:

"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry to leave you."

Luo Lanting waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing."

The annoying (tiring) guy finally left.

The moment Lanshan turned and left, the same thought flashed through Mu Qingyuan and Luo Lanting's minds at the same time.
