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

"..."

Lin Chuan didn't respond. Silence quietly spread in the dim room, and the intertwined breaths of the two people were filled with an inexplicable stagnation.

"Come with me."

After a long moment, Xu Hanyi repeated himself, his voice adding a hint of stubbornness, "I'll just pretend that everything in the past never happened. How about that?"

"..."

"Master, can you really pretend nothing happened?"

Lin Chuan spoke softly, his eyes falling on Xu Hanyi's profile in the dim light.

"can!"

Seeing that Lin Chuan seemed to be a little relaxed, Xu Hanyi immediately responded without hesitation.

"What if I want to go out alone in the future?" Lin Chuan's tone was calm, without much emotion.

"..."

Xu Hanyi was silent for a moment, then said in an unquestionable tone, "I'll stay with you."

"Is it companionship or house arrest?"

Lin Chuan's gaze became clearer in the darkness, as if it could penetrate the thick night and reach the other person's truest thoughts.

"..."

Xu Hanyi fell silent.

Her so-called letting bygones be bygones was merely a way of letting others off the hook. It was simply impossible for her to pretend nothing had happened and continue to get along as before.

If it weren't for Lin Chuan's advanced cultivation, and if she couldn't bear to go to that step deep down in her heart, she would have already imprisoned him by her side, and there would be no need to use such a roundabout method as "house arrest".

"Master, things have come to this point. We can no longer go back to the way things were before."

Lin Chuan's voice was gentle but filled with unquestionable certainty. He retracted his arms and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

"No, I will go back."

Xu Hanyi's voice trembled with a hint of stubbornness, and her fingertips subconsciously clenched Lin Chuan's collar, "As long as Chuan'er still has his master in his heart and is willing to abandon them for his master, nothing will change."

"I will not give up my master for them, nor will I give up them for my master." Lin Chuan's voice was calm but extremely firm.

"You really think you're the only one who can be my master, don't you?"

Xu Hanyi's tone suddenly turned harsh, filled with uncontrollable anger, and his aura instantly turned cold.

"I must be your master." Lin Chuan's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"Ah……"

Xu Hanyi sneered, his eyes filled with complex emotions, like mockery and anger, "What? Master doesn't agree, and Chuan'er still wants to keep Master by his side?"

"Even Yi Yi considers this a last resort, so why would I use it?"

Lin Chuan's voice softened, and he raised his hand to gently pat Xu Hanyi's back, "What I want has never been just Yiyi's."

"..."

"Since you don't want to go with me, I won't force you. From now on, we won't see each other..."

Before Xu Hanyi finished speaking, he saw Lin Chuan suddenly move his head closer.

After a moment, the two slowly separated.

"What did Master want to say just now?" Lin Chuan looked at Xu Hanyi with burning eyes.

"us……"

Xu Hanyi opened her red lips and just as she uttered two words, Lin Chuan's head moved closer again.

After a long time, the two slowly separated.

"What did Master want to say just now?" Lin Chuan still looked at Xu Hanyi with burning eyes.

"..."

Xu Hanyi bit her thin lips lightly, her eyes falling on the corners of Lin Chuan's lips that were oozing with blood. The shame and anger in her heart just emerged when it was entangled by a deeper helplessness. Her fingertips curled up subconsciously, but in the end she was reluctant to push him away again.

"Yi Yi..." Lin Chuan called softly.

"..."

"Well, it's me who took the initiative to see him this time."

Xu Hanyi sighed softly in his heart, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and finally he slowly closed his eyes.

It’s not too late to leave tomorrow.

"Why is Master still resting with his eyes closed?"

"Traitor, what do you want..."

"Master, won't you take me with you in my practice?"

"Fix it yourself!"

"How can I cultivate on my own? Shouldn't a master guide me and then let me cultivate on my own?"

"..."

"Master, my disciple is dull..."

"If you continue like this, believe it or not... I will expel you from the sect..."

……

The next day, noon.

Xu Hanyi slowly opened his eyes, with a look of confusion in his eyes as if he had just woken up.

"I am..."

She rubbed her brows, feeling dizzy and groggy, as if...

"Dream Sleep Technique!"

Fragmented memories came flooding back like a tide, and Xu Hanyi suddenly remembered the strange light that flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes at the moment when she lost her mind yesterday. That was the secret technique she used on Lin Chuan last time.

"Rebel, you..."

Xu Hanyi subconsciously turned to look to his side, but there was no one there, no sign of Lin Chuan. As he was startled, he caught a glimpse of a woman in a yellow dress sitting at a table not far away.

"Sister Xu is awake?"

Qiu noticed the movement behind him and quickly put down the book in his hand and turned around with a gentle smile on his face. "The young master went out to buy breakfast and will be back soon. You... want to rest for a while?"

"Why are you here?"

Xu Hanyi's brows were tightly furrowed, the coldness in his eyes almost solidified into substance, and the aura around him instantly became heavy.

"The master asked me to look after Sister Xu and not let her run away." Qiu's voice was still gentle.

"You were told to look at me?"

Not sure if he was angry, but Xu Hanyi sneered and moved his fingertips slightly.

However, the next second, her brows furrowed even more.

"My cultivation? Traitor..."

Xu Hanyi's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
