Yu Mian was confused. He originally thought that the master was here to catch him for training. But now it seems that this is not the case. It seems more like some big event.

What big deal will it be?

She stood up and said goodbye to her fifth uncle, then came to Gu Ruci's side. Gu Ruci put one hand on her shoulder and instantly fled to Shouxing Mountain.

The star track built against the mountain was still running at a slow pace. Yu Mian stumbled slightly and took a clear look at the surrounding environment. His eyes fell on the broken cups beside the tea table in front of the Zhaixing Palace, and the few pieces of green and yellow tea leaves remaining on the ground.

Was there some kind of argument going on here?

Gu Ruci also noticed that her mind was in a state of confusion and she had not cleaned up the floor. She waved her hand to clean it up and gently patted Yu Mian on the back.

Prepare to have a heart-to-heart talk with her over tea.

"Come, have a cup of tea with me." Gu Ruci tried her best to maintain a gentle expression, for fear of scaring Yu Mian.

She came to the seat opposite and laid out a new set of tea sets. She originally wanted to take out the newly released Chunshan Yikong, but after thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate.

After careful selection, I chose a white tea with a lighter taste, Peony in the Snow.

Yu Mian felt like he was suddenly called by the dean to his office. He watched the dean slowly making tea, and his heart was like a student watching the bubbling water in the kettle beside him.

He clutched the cassock beside him with his hands nervously, sat down stiffly, put his hands on his knees, and sat upright.

"Uncle Master, what happened?" She couldn't remember anything important that could have involved Uncle Master other than practicing the Star Picking Record.

Could it be that he realized that he was an outsider?

Or was she caught for not drinking those 360 ​​kinds of tea?

Or is this matter related to Sheng Qing?

Gu Ruci washed the tea set and prepared the tea leaves. The boiling hot water danced with the tea needles with a slight white hair in the cup.

After the tea had steeped for a while, he finally gathered his thoughts and asked a slightly more tactful question as a start of the conversation, "I wonder if Xiao Mian'er has ever seen the Human World Picture Book?"

Yu Mian's nerves suddenly became alert? !

Could it be that Master Uncle had figured out the fact that she had drawn the portrait album of Sheng Qing?

"I've seen it..." She responded somewhat embarrassedly, and only hoped that the master would not tell Shengqing about it.

"You've seen some picture books about cultivating immortals, with stories like cultivators and demon cultivators, cultivators and goblins, righteous disciples and the Hehuan Sect..." Gu Ruci laid out a long thread at the beginning, and then continued at the end.

“…Or stories like that about master and disciple?” After saying this, Gu Ruci just happened to bring a cup of tea to Yu Mian.

She stretched out her hand to take it, but her hand trembled and the tea almost spilled onto her fingertips.

Yu Mian pulled his hand back instantly, his pupils looked a little bewildered, and even the tip of his nose turned red. He responded in a serious tone, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."

Her thoughts instantly turned into a mess, completely confused.

The affair between her and Sheng Qing was known by the master? !

Yes, Master-Uncle had planned everything out, she should have discovered the clues and noticed it long ago...

So is this time to advise her to let go of the delusions in her heart?

She was actually trying to let it go...

Seeing Yu Mian looking like a frightened bird, Gu Ruci's eyes moved, and she roughly guessed in her heart that it seemed that what her junior sister said was right, and Xiao Mian might really have fallen in love with him.

"So what do you think about these stories?" Gu Rushi asked her thoughts.

Yu Mian clenched his hands, and his fingers kept fighting.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was somewhat calm, as if he was analyzing rationally without any emotion: "The essence of the disciple's love for the master comes from the admiration for strength in his bloodline, and the master is in a superior position and can provide more open-minded insights and more cultivation resources. In essence, the emotion is not pure..."

"I feel that as I grow older, I should adjust my mindset, focus on spiritual practice, and get rid of distracting thoughts." It was unclear whether Yu Mian was answering Gu Ruci or saying this to himself.

He was very organized and didn't seem to have any selfish motives at all.

The words that Gu Ruci was originally going to use to comfort Yu Mian were stuck in her throat. She originally wanted to persuade Yu Mian to be aware of his own heart and not be infatuated with the beauty and get carried away by it.

If they really like each other, it's not impossible for her to help bring them together.

After all, the look on Junior Sister's face made it seem like she was staring at her to death and she was the only one she could have.

But now, she was worried about her junior sister.

Xiao Mian'er looks like she is about to give up.

This……

I don’t know if it was because the tea was too hot or because of the steam in my face, but Gu Ruci actually had a rare moment of sweat on her forehead.

"Xiao Mian'er..." Gu Ruci didn't know where to start for a moment. She has always been eloquent, but facing this overly "clear-headed" little nephew in front of her, she was speechless for a moment.

Yu Mian quickly interrupted Gu Ruci's words, "Master, I understand. I won't make the same mistake again."

"I happened to not practice talismans today, and the third section of my Star Picking Record is a little confusing. Can I ask you something?" Yu Mian quickly took out the platinum-colored secret book, turned to the page with the ginkgo bookmark, and looked at Gu Ruci with bright eyes. The momentary sadness was digested by her.

This put even more pressure on Gu Ruci.

I'm not afraid that she's too happy about Shengqing, I'm just afraid that she'll act like she doesn't care.

Xiao Mian'er must have been bullied by that bastard snake. The child must have been so wronged, yet he was so well-behaved and didn't waste his time in cultivation.

Shengqing, you really deserve a beating!

Gu Ruci felt itchy, but finally gave up.

"Your master actually has... a deep affection for you."

She was calculating...

"I know." The disguised light in Yu Mian's eyes dimmed in an instant. She was not a piece of wood, so how could she not know that Sheng Qing also liked her, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"It's just that Master Uncle, Master doesn't need to care about anything else and can travel freely with me in Jiuzhou because she is Venerable Huaici. She doesn't need to socialize or accommodate anyone." When Yu Mian mentioned the Taoist name Sheng Qing, there was a hint of yearning and admiration in her. As she said, her liking was not pure. In addition to liking Sheng Qing, she was also impressed by her strength.

"But I..." Yu Mian was a little annoyed, and his voice dropped, "...I am just a Jindan. Friends, teachers, and seniors are the social circles I cannot avoid. I don't want my love to be like cooked wheat that can never sprout in the sun."

"I know Sheng Qing is a good person. She brings me safety, rescues me from the quagmire, guides me in my practice, and provides me with many resources." Yu Mian sighed.

"Maybe I owe her a lot. I will catch up step by step through practice in the future. I will repay her one by one along the long road." Yu Mian curled his lips and smiled silently.

"Actually, being a master and an apprentice is pretty good!"

"Thank you for your advice." She raised the glass and drank.

This brilliant smile made Gu Ruci's heart go cold.

Thinking back to when Junior Sister was drinking tea in the same place, her sinister and extremely paranoid expression coincided with Xiao Mian'er's open-minded expression at this moment.

Gu Ruci only thought of one sentence: It's over...
