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

"No."

Qiu pushed the Flame Spirit Flower towards Chun and said stubbornly, "I will find a way to solve the problem of the resources I lack."

"..."

Chun was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the Flame Spirit Flower and carefully placed it back in the wooden box. He then placed the box on the stone steps between them and suddenly changed the subject: "Qiu will stay with you from now on?"

"Ah."

Qiu responded softly, picked up a piece of cake, broke it in half and handed it to Chun.

Chun took the cake and casually asked, "How many Taoist companions do you have, sir?"

"..."

Qiu said nothing, but simply brought the other half of the pastry to his lips and took a small bite.

"Did they bully Qiu?"

Chun took a bite of the pastry, his eyes fell on the corner of Qiu's lips stained with crumbs, and his voice became softer.

"They are all very nice and no one bullies me." Qiu shook his head slightly.

"Although I don't know exactly who they are, among the ones I know, basically all of them have very high cultivation levels. Qiu's cultivation level cannot lag far behind theirs." Chun looked at Qiu seriously.

"My...cultivation level is not the lowest..."

Qiu's voice became lower, and Ye Xiaoxiao's figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"What about the background?" Chun asked back.

"..."

Qiu didn't say anything, just lowered his head and stared at the patterns on the stone steps.

"If you can't compare with me in background, then you can rely on your cultivation level."

Chun looked at Qiu's drooping brows and said earnestly, "Qiu certainly doesn't want to do that either. From now on, the only thing I can do to help you, sir, is to clean the house and serve tea, right?"

"..."

Qiu raised her eyes to look at Chun, her tone was a little stubborn and firm: "Senior Sister, I have grown up."

"..."

Chun was slightly startled, then replied softly: "Yes, I have grown up."

"I know that with your personality, it might be difficult for you to accept this, so I won't force you."

She shook her head helplessly, but her tone softened, "It's a birthday, so we should be happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chun took out a palm-sized rabbit doll from the storage space, held it in his palm, and handed it over with a chuckle: "Here, I made this in my spare time. Doesn't it look good? If you dare to say it's not, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Senior Sister, why are the four legs of this rabbit of different lengths?"

Qiu took the doll, gently pinched the uneven rabbit legs with his fingertips, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes.

"Don't give it back to me."

Chun's face turned slightly red and he pretended to grab it.

"No, no."

Qiu hid the rabbit doll behind him, stuck out his tongue, and a sly smile appeared in his eyes.

"Hey! Your wings are hard, huh?"

Chun snorted and reached out to tickle Qiu's armpit.

"Master... Senior Sister, I was wrong..."

"See if you dare to laugh at me again!"

……

Inside the hall, Lin Chuan had come out of the cave at some point and was quietly looking at the scene outside the hall without making a sound to disturb them.

Chun, who was playing with Qiu, accidentally caught a glimpse of him and quickly stopped, bowed slightly, and called out respectfully, "Sir."

Qiu Ye quickly restrained his expression, turned around, and called softly, "Young Master."

"This is the first time I've seen Qiu so happy."

Lin Chuan looked at the rabbit doll in Qiu's hand, with a gentle smile in his tone.

"..."

Qiu lowered his eyelashes, and a thin layer of red quietly appeared at the base of his ears.

"You don't celebrate your birthday at the door. We are all family. No need to be polite. Come in and sit down." Lin Chuan said with a chuckle.

"Thank you, sir, but it's not necessary."

Chun bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I have a mission to complete, so I will be leaving now."

"What mission?"

Lin Chuan glanced at Chun, then at the rabbit doll in Qiu's hand, and said casually, "I have something to go out and take care of later. Why don't you let me handle this task and you stay to celebrate Qiu's birthday with me?"

"It's just some trivial matters. How dare I trouble you, sir?" Chun shook his head slightly.

Qiu's eyes flickered between Lin Chuan and Chun. After hesitating for a moment, he bit his lower lip and whispered, "Master, can I go out on a mission with Chun?"

"..."

Lin Chuan was about to nod in agreement, but Chun took the lead and took over the conversation.

"You just said you've grown up, why are you acting like a follower again?" Chun turned to look at Qiu, deliberately putting on a stern face.

"..."

Qiu pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Be obedient, the tasks have been arranged. One more person would be a burden. I'll come to see you when I'm free." Chun said softly.

"..."

"Ah."

Qiu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"I still have a mission to complete, so I'll trouble you to take care of Qiu."

Chun bowed slightly to Lin Chuan, then rubbed Qiu's head and turned to leave.

Autumn looked at Chun's departing back until the figure completely disappeared, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

However, when her gaze fell back on the stairs in front of the hall, she was slightly startled, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the wooden box that Chun seemed to have forgotten.

"Haru has a mission to do. It will be the same if I return it when she comes back."

Lin Chuan slowly walked up to Qiu, his eyes falling on her hand tightly clutching the wooden box, and softly suggested, "Today is your birthday, and I just happened to be out of retreat. I have nothing to do, so why don't we go out for a walk?"

"..."

Qiu lowered his eyes, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "Will this... trouble you, sir?"

As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong and quickly added, "I...I don't really want to go...it's just..."

She bit her lip and said nothing more, but her ears turned red.

"Let's go."

Lin Chuan had a gentle smile on his face. He took Qiu's hand and walked out of the holy land.

……

Qingshu's room.

Qingshu, who was reviewing the document, suddenly looked up and looked out the window.

"what happened?"

Ran, who was helping to sort out the documents, looked up with a puzzled look on her face.

"Qin Lang is out." Qing Shu said in a low voice.

"Are you alone? Or with Qiu?"

Ran asked. On the day when all the forces left, Jiang Wanying and the others also left. Now, there were only the three of them left by Lin Chuan's side.

"Why? Sister doesn't want Qin Lang and Qiu to stay together?"

Qingshu raised her eyes and looked at Ran, with a hint of inquiry in her tone.

Ran shook her head gently and looked out the window. "I just thought that no matter where my husband goes, there will always be someone to take care of him. If there is no one to accompany him, I will go to accompany him."
