The gloomy and crazy Master is drooling over me

After Yu Mian left, the tree began to shake even more violently, trembling several times, and even its leaves seemed to want to curl up.

"Dao...lover?"

A low, hoarse and charming voice sounded, and the blood-stained fingertips gently touched the leaves. Scarlet blood hung on the tip of the leaf, slid down and dripped into the soil.

Yu Mian didn't know that the tree was not communicating with her just now, but was simply expressing fear.

The scarlet in Shengqing's eyes faded away little by little until she regained her sanity. She glanced at the filth on her body, cleaned it up, and changed into white clothes.

The bright red is like a mask removed, revealing the pure and unparalleled inner beauty.

She stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the sapling in front of her, and she almost became autistic because of the Albizia julibrissin.

Does Mian'er care about the identity of a Taoist partner?

But what is the difference between a master and a disciple? They can still stay together for a long time and depend on each other...

Shengqing subconsciously tried to avoid it. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand Mian’er’s feelings, but…

But along the way, she lost too much, her tribe, her immortal path, and the relationship between master and disciple that she once thought of...

The master-disciple relationship is the bond that has bound them together for so long, and it is also the most stable relationship between the two. She doesn't want to change it.

Her disciple should belong to her forever.

Sheng Qing frowned, and then thought of Yu Mian’s last words before she left, “I won’t be stubborn about this anymore…”, did he no longer want to become her Taoist partner?

Who do you want to marry?!

Her heart sank, her back teeth clenched, and a surge of hostility that had been secretly surging in her heart burst out from her body, her eyes filled with sinisterness and paranoia.

No! Xu!

He was so upset that he turned and headed towards Shouxing Mountain, and came to the black and white Zhaixing Palace with a murderous aura.

The aroma of tea wafts in the air and smoke rises up.

Gu Ruci: "Junior sister, it's rare that you have time today!"

There were several rolls of star maps and a full set of tea sets on her table. She had already started washing the tea and preparing it. Her movements were graceful and brisk, as if she had done it a thousand times.

Sheng Qing glanced at the other party's movements with a hint of surprise in his eyes. With Gu Ruci's cultivation level, he could calculate her purpose at least three breaths in advance. Whenever she arrived, the tea was already half prepared.

Today is just the beginning.

She found a seat and sat down. Her face, which was originally expressionless, showed a hint of annoyance between her brows.

This time it was Gu Ruci's turn to be puzzled. Her junior sister had always believed in her own way and had hardly ever been confused. So why did she look like this? Did she really encounter something difficult to solve?

When she poured the tea, she used the boiling tea leaves to tell the tea divination.

The green and yellow curled tea leaves stretched out, and each piece returned to its original appearance as if it had just been picked. They curled together and turned inward along the edge of the bowl.

Each leaf has clear veins and the petals are intertwined in an orderly manner.

It is a lucky omen.

Since it is a lucky omen, why does he look so gloomy?

"Junior sister, what happened?" Gu Ruci moved her eyes away from the cup and looked at Sheng Qing's face, trying to see something.

"nothing."

After Sheng Qing sat down, her figure was slender, her eyes were unfocused, and her mind was still thinking about matters concerning Yu Mian's Taoist companion. She didn't care about other people's eyes, but there was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.

She was somewhat...resistant to the change of identity.

Gu Ruci saw that she didn't look fine. In the past, even if she had fought against high-level monsters and ended up in a draw, and was covered in wounds, she didn't seem to be so depressed.

"So are you coming today?"

"Thirsty." Sheng Qing said in a somewhat cold voice.

Only then did she realize that no one seemed to know about her relationship with Mian'er. She wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but she didn't know where to start.

Besides, it was a private matter between the two of them, why should it be known to outsiders?

But now it is difficult for her to handle it alone.

Gu Ruci tried to hold back the smile that was about to appear on the corner of her mouth, but that smile still showed from the corner of her eyes. Well... you're thirsty, so be it. After all these years, you're still so stubborn.

Compared to the injuries in previous battles, he said it was just a moment of carelessness.

"Then please ask my junior sister to taste my new Chunshan Yikong." When Gu Ruci talked about tea, there was a sense of complacency in her eyes and brows. She was a tea lover and a tea scholar. For the past thousand years, she had been keeping company with tea trees when she had nothing to do in Shouxing Mountain.

"My tea comes from a pair of wild geese. More than 400 years ago, a pair of wild geese flew here to make their home. Since then, they have been coming back and forth every year for decades, with new geese chasing old geese, and spring never comes."

"In the eighteenth year, one of the geese died. In the afternoon of that day, the other followed. I buried the two geese together, and this tea tree grew next to the goose mound."

“I am so heartbroken by the longing for you that the tea seeds from afar have not been reincarnated and are left to grow.” Gu Ruci said with emotion. He poured a cup of tea for Sheng Qing and passed it to him using his spiritual power.

"There are only ten tea trees now. They are very precious. Would you like to try some, Junior Sister?"

Sheng Qing listened to this story and said with his thin lips: "Aren't there other wild geese? Can't they just follow where they came from and find some tea trees?"

“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called Chunshan Yikong.” Gu Ruci rejected the suggestion with a gentle smile. It was easy for her to find a certain type of tea at the initial stage of her cultivation, but tasting tea was not just about the taste of the tea.

There are also various stories, love, hate, and vengeance...

Sheng Qing's eyes fell on the light golden tea soup, his brows softened a little, as it were.

Even if I accept another disciple, it won't be Mian'er...

She picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp with an elegant movement. It was not the posture of tea tasting at all. It was more like Yu Mian gulping down tea normally, as if she was really "thirsty" as she said.

Seeing this, Gu Ruci didn't feel bad about the tea. Each way of tasting the tea could bring out a different flavor, so everyone could just drink according to their preferences.

She picked it up slowly, placed it beside her lips and teeth and blew gently twice, then put it close to her lips and took a sip. The fragrance spread from her lips and teeth to her throat and came back with her breath.

After Shengqing finished drinking, his excuse of being thirsty was over, and it was time to talk about the real reason for coming here.

This matter is not complicated, but it does require determination. She just wants to find someone to complain to.

"Mian'er wants to become my Taoist partner..." Sheng Qing spoke bluntly to Gu Ruci.

On the opposite side, Gu Ruci, who was savoring her tea carefully, almost spit out a mouthful of tea!

"Cough!... Cough cough!?" She coughed several times with a look of surprise and then slammed the cup hard on the table, making a dull "bang" sound as it hit the wood.

"what?!"

Gu Ruci quickly raised her hand and made a gesture to clear the tea off her body. Her eyes looked as if a magnitude nine earthquake had occurred for the first time.

Xiao Mian'er admires Junior Sister? !

No wonder... No wonder she saw the vague hexagrams while drinking tea that day. She didn't expect that she was not mistaken.

but.

"Junior sister, are you sure it's Xiao Mian'er who wants to become your Taoist partner?"

"Does Xiao Mian'er know about this?"
