After the death of the villain master, the traitor went crazy

In the blink of an eye, Shu Fan returned to Jiugu Mountain and was still full-term. Li Fuyi could no longer bear it and sent someone to Huajiantang to discuss the welcoming banquet for the return of the Imperial Master.

Hua Jiantang looked at the post that was sent to him and didn't even want to flip through it. However, because the person who came this time was Jiuhua, he reluctantly listened to him finish.

"Uncle Master, the return of our Grandmaster is a joyous occasion, and this welcoming banquet is also a token of our Master's care..."

Jiuhua was talking until his mouth was dry, while Hua Jiantang was listening quietly with his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his mouth.

Want to respond?

Want a reply?

Not a single word.

Seeing that his uncle was unmoved, he simply changed the subject, "Can Jiuhua meet the master and pay his respects in person?"

Hua Jiantang was quite hesitant about this.

Although as far as he knew, his master should have no grudge against Jiuhua.

Otherwise, he would dig out his own immortal bones before his death and give them to Jiuhua.

But the Jiuhua in front of him had never met his master before.

It's hard to say whether he... would mention something in front of his master, Li Fuyi, because of him.

When he thought of this possibility, he directly refused: "Your master just arrived not long ago. I will report the matter of the welcoming banquet to you and handle it as appropriate."

"Once the time is set, I will send an invitation to Tianding Yunxiao. Your master doesn't need to worry about this matter."

"I still have some miscellaneous matters to take care of, so I won't delay you from returning to report." He picked up the teacup and said no more.

At the beginning, he was plotted against by the demon clan and trapped in a trap unable to escape. It was his uncle Hua Jiantang who came from afar to rescue him.

Everyone in heaven and on earth knows that Emperor Frost values his nephew Jiuhua very much.

This was the first time that Jiuhua was turned away by Huajiantang. In the past, no matter how fierce the conflict between Li Fuyi and Huajiantang was, his uncle never avoided the master's request to run errands.

At most, he would just not respond, but unexpectedly, this time he directly offered tea to thank the guest...

In the uncle's heart, the master is indeed different from others.

He was afraid that it would be difficult to fulfill his master's request.

But still have to give it a try!

He stood up, took out an exquisite food basket from the brocade bag, and handed it to Hua Jiantang.

"Master, this is... the mint cake I made. I heard that Master wanted some snacks for our great master's wedding, especially mint cake, so I made it and brought it here."

"Please ask my uncle to present it on my behalf as a token of Jiuhua's gratitude."

Hua Jiantang glanced at the food basket for a long moment before putting down the teacup. "Okay, you can go now."

Jiuhua sighed in his heart and thought to himself: Master, I have tried my best. If there is more, I can only let nature take its course.

After Jiuhua left gracefully, Hua Jiantang opened the lid of the food basket, and a refreshing mint scent wafted out with a unique coolness and a unique milky aroma.

Hua Jiantang narrowed his eyes and said, "Huh!"

Do these two masters and apprentices think he is stupid?

There is no way Jiuhua can make this. Even if you have the recipe and copy it, the result will be completely different.

In this world, only Li Fuyi can make mint soft cake with such delicious taste.

He originally wanted to throw it away, but thinking about his master's recent poor appetite, he couldn't bring himself to do it...

In the end, the lid was put back on properly.

It happened that Lin Moran learned from Wu Jia about Jiuhua's visit. As she was walking into the hall, she saw Hua Jiantang staring at an open food basket, and then closing the lid reluctantly.

After carefully sniffing the fragrance in the air, I guessed about 70% of it.

Over there, Hua Jiantang saw Lin Moran coming in and called out, "Senior Sister."

Lin Moran walked straight to his side, lifted the lid and took a look, and it was just as she expected!

"He sent it?"

Hua Jiantang nodded, lowered his head to play with the teacup, not looking at Lin Moran, nor touching the food basket again, "Senior Sister, please bring it to Master later."

Lin Moran couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to pick up two mint cakes from the food basket.

He stuffed one piece into Hua Jiantang's mouth while he was not paying attention, and then he took the other piece and sat down next to him, starting to taste it in small sips.

Not only did they eat it, they also did not forget to comment on it:

"Ouch! I didn't expect that."

With a hint of joking and a hint of mischief, he said, "Little Yingshu has been gone for so many years, and Junior Brother Fuyi's craftsmanship has improved a lot. Could it be that his precious pot of mint has... been upgraded again?"

Hua Jiantang held the mint cake in his mouth, not knowing whether to spit it out or swallow it. After hearing what she said, he had no choice but to chew it a few times and swallow it into his stomach.

He raised his voice slightly, and helplessly called out to Lin Moran who was muttering, "Senior Sister!"

Lin Moran put the mint cake in her hand into her mouth and looked at Hua Jiantang with a smile, who seemed to be a little annoyed for a rare time.

Suddenly he stopped smiling and asked seriously:

"Junior brother, tell me the truth, are you also interested in Master?"

Hua Jiantang was stunned by this sudden question, and the slight annoyance on his face suddenly turned into surprise.

"Senior Sister, why do you say that?"

Lin Moran patted the pastry crumbs in her hand and tapped the table with her finger. "Xiao Huahua, you treat Junior Brother Fuyi like this and try to stop him in every way. It's hard for me not to think about other things."

Hua Jiantang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

He never thought about what kind of feelings he had towards his master.

All along, he only knew that his master was the most important person in his life.

Even his entry into Taoism and practice were all for the purpose of becoming the most powerful being one day, protecting his master and the people around him.

Master always said that the way of ruthlessness is not truly ruthless. It is a deeper and mysterious realm. Even if you cannot understand it for the time being, it does not matter. As long as you treat others sincerely, one day you will be able to move the heaven and earth with your sincerity and open up metal and stone.

But now he is already the Emperor. Looking back on his past path of cultivation, although there were twists and turns, it can be considered smooth sailing.

In his opinion, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the ruthless path and the compassionate path.

If he were to be like other ruthless Taoist practitioners, he would be asked to kill the most important person in his heart - his master!

Then he would immediately abandon the ruthless way without hesitation, discard all his cultivation, and start again from Qi Refining.

Now, when he asked himself what kind of feelings he had towards his master, he still couldn't get an answer...

He raised his head and looked at Lin Moran beside him, with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Senior Sister, I have feelings for Master, so what? I don't have any feelings for him, so what?"

His voice was not loud, but it drew waves of echoes, as if he were in a vast expanse...

Lin Moran was startled. Before she could speak, a deafening thunder sounded outside, and the entire Jiugu Mountain shook.

The thunder seemed to be very close, and it would strike directly from above the head in the next moment, destroying everything.

Only then did she suddenly realize that sword energy suddenly appeared around Hua Jiantang, and the violent spiritual energy was isolated by an invisible force, as if there was a transparent barrier wrapping him up.

There was also a scarlet-gold lightning shadow, appearing and disappearing beside him...

This is... the calamity of annihilation!!

Lin Moran called out anxiously, "Xiaohua! Xiaohua!!" She wanted him to stop thinking and focus on dealing with the thunder tribulation.

But at this time, Hua Jiantang was already immersed in it and did not respond to her voice.
