After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

The next morning, Tianyao Peak.

"boom!"

A muffled sound suddenly broke the silence, and then a pungent smell of burnt food wafted from the alchemy furnace.

"Hey."

Li Yue sighed helplessly, her brows slightly furrowed, annoyance written all over her face.

"Xiao Linchuan probably won't be back for a while, after all, with Xu Hanyi's personality..."

"I don't know when Xu Hanyi will go out again..."

"How about I try to find something for Xu Hanyi to do?"

"No! I was the one who made the mistake first, this is the retribution I deserve!"

"But then again..."

……

The expression on Li Yue's face kept changing, and her thoughts drifted further and further away, so much so that she didn't even notice that there was another person in the room. She still sat blankly beside the alchemy furnace, as if she was frozen in place.

"Sister Li, why are you so distracted so early in the morning? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Lin Chuan approached Li Yue with a concerned look on his face.

"Xiao Linchuan?! Why are you here? Where's Xu Hanyi?"

Li Yue suddenly came back to her senses, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes filled with surprise and delight, and she stared straight at the man in front of her.

"Sister Li, do you want to see me or Master?"

There was a faint smile on Lin Chuan's lips.

"Of course...why are you here?"

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat, turned his eyes away to avoid Lin Chuan's burning gaze, and asked calmly, but his voice was unconsciously tinged with a bit of panic.

"Master told me to follow Sister Li and learn alchemy well, and not to let Sister Li's hard work go to waste."

Lin Chuan put his arms around Li Yue's waist and buried his head in her arms.

"Yue... Yuexi is still on the peak, you... you should stop messing around..."

Li Yue's fair face instantly turned crimson. Even as she spoke, her hands remained frozen at her sides, not actually pushing away Lin Chuan, who was affectionately hugging her.

After hesitating for a moment, she gently lifted her hand, and the spiritual power flowing through her fingertips condensed into fine light patterns.

The next second, a hazy pale pink light curtain spread out like water waves, enveloping the entire alchemy room.

"Sister Li, what are you doing? Do you need to set up a barrier to learn alchemy?"

Lin Chuan blinked and asked in a confused manner, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"You...you're not going to..."

Li Yue bit her thin lips lightly, lowered her head, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

"But I just wanted to hug Sister Li for a while, that's all. Sister Li got the wrong idea."

Lin Chuan had an innocent look on his face, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smirk.

"I...I didn't..."

Li Yue avoided his gaze, turned her head away in panic, and unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes with her hands.

"Then why did Sister Li set up the barrier?"

Lin Chuan raised his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Li Yue.

"I... I'm here to teach you how to make pills, and I'm worried someone else might steal my knowledge. But you, sneaking over to me so early in the morning, aren't you afraid Xu Hanyi will find out and punish you?"

He pretended to be calm and tried to hide his panic with a serious tone.

"Don't worry, Sister Li. I've already told Master."

Lin Chuan reached out and gently took Li Yue's hand, squeezing it lightly to comfort her.

"..."

"So, do you want to learn alchemy, or do something else?"

Li Yue stared straight at Lin Chuan, as if waiting for a clear answer from him, but a faint blush still remained on her face.

"It's still early, let's make the elixir later."

Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, slowly stood up, walked to Li Yue who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and looked down at her condescendingly.

"..."

……

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the blazing sunlight slanted into the alchemy room through the window lattice, dyeing the barrier a hazy golden pink.

Li Yue sat cross-legged on the ground, put the spiritual fruit into her mouth with an expressionless face, and chewed it mechanically.

The juice burst between the teeth, but the sweet taste could not dispel the resentment in the eyes.

Half an hour later, the sky suddenly darkened, and several silver snake-like thunders fell down, but the moment they touched Lin Chuan's body, they were all absorbed by him.

At the same time, bursts of elixir fragrance wafted out of the alchemy furnace.

"Sister Li, try it now. I mixed it myself based on pharmacology... uh... anyway, it'll leave a lasting fragrance in your mouth."

Lin Chuan picked up one of them and handed it to Li Yue.

"If you had listened to me at the time, would you have needed to refine this medicine?"

Li Yue's eyes were dim, and her tone was filled with a bit of anger and helplessness. Then she picked up the pill that Lin Chuan handed over, and swallowed it without much hesitation.
