Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

"A few days ago, Qu Yao came to me to ask for a magical tool to protect him from the wind."

Sitting opposite Jiang Weizhou was a middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a plain robe with wide sleeves, and his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.

It was Jiang Weizhou's senior brother Heng Ren, also the "uncle master" mentioned by Qu Yao.

Jiang Weizhou only seeks Taoism, and Heng Ren is in charge of all matters, big or small, within the Changsheng Sect.

"Junior brother, do you know who he is doing this for?"

Jiang Weizhou lowered his eyes, "Brother, don't pay attention to it."

Hengren sighed, "The law of nature is unpredictable, and karma is cyclical. Weizhou, I told you long ago that you shouldn't leave him on the mountain."

Hengren predicts the future of the Changsheng Sect every hundred years.

When Jiang Weizhou brought Zhu Yuan up the mountain, he took a look from afar. Just this one look made Heng Ren, who was usually calm, have his eyelids twitching.

There were many invisible things wrapped around the child, with tentacles extending in all directions with bared fangs and claws.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and this time, Hengren made an exception and counted three times.

Jiang Weizhou didn't say anything, he just sat there. The wind blew, but Jiang Weizhou's clothes didn't move.

"Brother, some tribulations do not have to be faced. If there are other solutions, why are you unwilling to try them?"

Hengren understood Jiang Weizhou, and because he understood him, he was worried. ——The child he brought up was his junior fellow apprentice's love tribulation.

Anyone who hears this will find it ridiculous.

Hengren calculated it three times, and the result was the same each time.

A junior brother who has nothing to do with love... If it only happened to Jiang Weizhou, Heng Ren might be able to sigh "everyone has their own destiny", but the hexagram is not that simple, and even Heng Ren cannot predict the disaster that follows.

"Junior brother, my hexagram indicates not only you, but also the entire Changsheng Sect. It may even affect the entire sect."

"Senior Brother." Jiang Weizhou raised his eyes. With just one sentence, Heng Ren was speechless.

"If that day comes, I will kill him with my own hands."

"..."

"So..." Hengren sighed, "I feel relieved now."

"A Yuan." Qu Yao practiced some simple moves with Xu Bai, just like coaxing a child. Once Xu Bai mastered even one move, he would praise him immediately, which made Xu Bai feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother, you always praise me like this. Everyone says that you are a genius of the Changsheng Sect. Maybe..." He paused, "Brother, do you want to be like Uncle Hengren, who cares about the world, or do you want to become an immortal like Master?"

“What I seek is the way in my heart.”

Qu Yao's eyes were filled with longing. He and Xu Bai were sitting side by side. Looking out at the sea of ​​clouds, they saw a vast expanse of boundlessness.

"The Tao in your heart?"

Xu Bai didn't understand, he repeated in confusion.

"Protect the people you want to protect, and do what you want to do." Qu Yao put his hand on Xu Bai's shoulder, "Master and Uncle have a long-term vision that I cannot reach."

"Do...what you want to do..." Xu Bai asked, "Brother, what do you want to do most?"

Qu Yao looked at his red cheeks, slightly absent-minded, and said after a long while, "It won't work if you say it out loud."

[Qu Yao’s Favorability: 78]

Xu Bai: [Young man, your intention is very clear. ]

Liu Er: [Qu Yao's favorability is rising very fast. ]

The last person who grew up so fast was Fang Jiaxu.

Xu Bai: [After all, it was love at first sight, so it's normal for her to grow up fast. However, his wish will definitely not come true.]

Qu Yao's words touched Xu Bai.

"Brother, can you teach me how to make sugar cakes?"

"Okay." Qu Yao stood up, turned around and stretched out his hand, with a bright smile on his face, "Let's go to the kitchen."

The kitchen has everything. Qu Yao bought them when he went down the mountain. He added them bit by bit and now it is full.

Making sugar cakes was not difficult, especially with Qu Yao guiding him. After the fluffy cakes were sprinkled with sugar grains, Xu Bai grinned.

The yellowish sunlight sprinkled on Xu Bai's face, coating his entire body with a honey-like color, "It's done!"

Qu Yao looked at him with a smile.

"Brother, please try it!" Xu Bai picked up a piece and handed it over, putting it to Qu Yao's lips.

Qu Yao's ears felt hot. He knew that this was probably an unintentional act by his junior brother, but his heart still beat faster. He just opened his mouth and didn't even dare to lean forward.

The cake was just the right size for a bite. Xu Bai put it into Qu Yao's mouth. His fingers accidentally touched the man's lips. After the touch, he slowly withdrew his hand. Qu Yao closed his mouth and just held the tip of Xu Bai's finger.

"..."

"I'm sorry, Yuan. I—"

"Brother, how does it taste?" Xu Bai smiled, not caring about the previous episode. He just stared at Qu Yao intently, as if... his opinion was extremely important to him.

"……delicious."

[Qu Yao’s Favorability: 80]

"That's good. Senior brother, take two more pieces. I'll pack the rest in a lunch box."

Qu Yao was still savoring the taste. He nodded blankly and reached out to take another piece. When he came to his senses, Xu Bai was already carefully picking out the good ones and putting them into the food box.

"A Yuan, what are you doing?"

Xu Bai carefully arranged the cakes and sugars neatly.

Liu Er: [A moment of silence.]

"I'll send some to Master. If you have anything else to do, please go ahead. I'll be back in about an hour!"

Qu Yao's expression was stiff, and he couldn't put the half piece of cake in his hand into his mouth.

He wanted to stop Xu Bai who was running away and tell him that his master had practiced hard for many years and had long since stopped eating worldly food.

But I couldn't say anything.

A Yuan was so passionate that Qu Yao was afraid - who could refuse such sincere feelings?

But at the same time, he was glad that the person was his master and not someone else.

It is rumored that for hundreds of years, fairies have continued to throw themselves into Jiang Weizhou's arms, but he has always been like the bright moon in the sky, and has not been shaken by the beauty.

Qu Yao thought that A Yuan would understand, and would understand that such efforts would not bring any rewards at all.

Qu Yao gave a bitter smile and stuffed the cake, which was no longer steaming, into his mouth.

Maybe because it’s cold, it’s not sweet, but rather very bitter.

……

Xu Bai carried the food box carefully.

He didn't know whether Jiang Weizhou was there, and he couldn't waste the sound transmission stone to ask about such a small matter. He could only try his luck and see if he could meet his master.

"Master?"

The cold wind blew over, and Xu Bai hugged the food box tightly in his arms, fearing that the cake inside would get cold and lose its best taste. "...Master, A Yuan is here to see you."

Just like he had that night, he carefully looked through the window.

Empty.

Xu Bai called out again.

"Master?"

He was looking forward to Jiang Weizhou's sudden appearance so that he could taste the sweet cakes he made himself.

Brother said that his way is to do whatever he wants to do.

Yes, it is good enough to be able to do what I want to do, so all the entanglements are gone. Who knows what will happen in the future? It is better to live well now.

If you must ask, my Tao should be my Master, right?

Xu Bai's cheeks turned slightly red. He hugged the food box tighter, rubbed his arms, and sat down on the stone bench outside the house, waiting for Jiang Weizhou to come back.

Jiang Weizhou was standing in front of a huge stone mirror, and in the mirror was Xu Bai holding a food box.

Xu Bai: [Jiang Weizhou is looking at me.]

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his face expressionless and emotionless.

Love disaster?

Jiang Weizhou didn't understand. How could a young man with mediocre talents become his love disaster?

Liu Er: [Jiang Weizhou... doesn't look like he will come.]

Xu Bai pondered: [Of course, he will definitely not come. So I have to think of a way... I have to let the Master who has no desires and no requests experience something different.]
