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

"I met an old man from your Chamber of Commerce in Qingyang Country. He seemed to be bored there and wanted to come back to retire. Senior Sister Feng, what do you think..."

Lin Chuan simply ignored Feng Ning'er's words and continued talking about what the old man had told him. Anyway, since he had brought it up, the old man had nothing to say whether Feng Ning'er agreed or not.

"Of course you can, but... you have to promise me one thing." Feng Ning'er blinked and said playfully.

"No!" Lin Chuan refused without even thinking.

"???" Feng Ning'er went straight to live in Bengbu. Before she could even say what it was, she was rejected so decisively.

"Well done man, you've managed to get my attention!"

"Junior Brother Lin, you don't want to be regarded as a man who doesn't keep his word once you leave this door, right?" Feng Ning'er opened her red lips slightly, staring at Lin Chuan with a half-smile.

"Oh."

For Lin Chuan, who had been accustomed to the PUA treatment from his superiors on Blue Star, this kind of thing was nothing.

"You!!!" Seeing Lin Chuan was so stubborn, Feng Ning'er got angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of that, you go ahead and do your thing!" Feng Ning'er waved her hands weakly, she was tired, mentally exhausted.

"Thank you. As long as your request is not excessive, I will consider it." Lin Chuan thanked him and left.

Seeing that everything that needed to be arranged had been almost done, Lin Chuan planned to go to Tianyao Peak for a stroll before returning to Tianjian Peak to see if he could ask Sister Li for the Ten-fold Tonic Pill. After all, the pill played a vital role in helping him continue fighting despite being seriously injured in the demon clan's formation.

Tianyao Peak.

Lin Chuan came to the bamboo forest based on his memory.

"Junior Brother Lin! Here!" Not far away, Ling Yuexi waved to Lin Chuan.

"Huh? Senior Sister Ling, how did you know I was coming?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel confused.

"Of course it was my master who told me. She noticed someone entering the bamboo forest. After investigation, she found out it was Junior Brother Lin, so she asked me to pick you up!" Ling Yuexi looked very happy. Junior Brother Lin had rarely been to Tianyao Peak since he finished learning alchemy last time.

"So that's how it is." Lin Chuan nodded, looking suddenly enlightened.

"Alright, Junior Brother Lin, come with me!"

So Lin Chuan followed Ling Yuexi and came to the familiar attic.

"Junior Brother Lin, have you come to Tianyao Peak this time to refine some powerful elixir?"

Ling Yuexi looked at Lin Chuan with full anticipation. Ever since Lin Chuan refined a pill with elixir patterns last time, Ling Yuexi has regarded Lin Chuan as her idol on the road of alchemy.

"No."

Lin Chuan shook his head and stated the purpose of his trip.

"Master...Master, she just left." Ling Yuexi's eyes were erratic, as if she couldn't meet Lin Chuan's gaze, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Looking at her like this, it was obvious that she was definitely not telling the truth.

"????"

"He knew I was coming just now, and he left the next second?" Lin Chuan complained secretly in his heart. He didn't think there was such a coincidence in the world.

"Okay then." Since Liyue didn't want to see him for some unknown reason, he should just go back and pack his things.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you leaving now?" Ling Yuexi felt a little disappointed.

"Yeah, I still have some things to deal with in the peak. I will come to see Senior Sister Ling next time." Lin Chuan waved his hand.

"Junior Brother Lin, wait a minute!" Ling Yuexi suddenly called out to Lin Chuan who was about to leave.

"Senior Sister Ling, is there anything else?" Lin Chuan looked puzzled.

"Lin...Junior Brother Lin, can you give me some Qi Gathering Pills with danwen? I want to study them." The girl said hesitantly and embarrassedly.

"Oh, I thought it was something else. Here, for you!" Lin Chuan took out a small porcelain bottle, which contained five Qi Gathering Pills with dan patterns on them.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Lin!" A hint of joy flashed across Ling Yuexi's face, and she quickly took the porcelain bottle with both hands.

"That's great. As long as I can thoroughly understand the principle of this elixir, maybe I can refine an elixir with elixir patterns like Junior Brother Lin!" Ling Yuexi thought secretly in her heart.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back." Seeing Ling Yuexi accept the pill, Lin Chuan said goodbye again.

"Wait, I want to tell Junior Brother Lin a secret." Ling Yuexi looked around cautiously, then took Lin Chuan to a secluded corner, and finally leaned close to Lin Chuan's ear and whispered:

"Actually, my master didn't even go out."

"I know." Lin Chuan looked like I had expected this.

"You...how did you know?" Ling Yuexi looked incredulous.

"Senior Sister Ling's face turned red when she lied." Lin Chuan said honestly.

"Ah? Is...is there?" The girl touched her cheek with a blushing face.

Lin Chuan didn't reply, but just nodded silently.

"Well, I guess Master is actually willing to see you."

"Then why haven't you seen me again?"

"I don't know either! But after Master learned that Junior Brother Lin came to Tianyao Peak, a smile appeared on his face, and he was a little nervous! It seemed that he was a little afraid to face Junior Brother Lin." After saying this, Ling Yuexi blinked her big eyes, looking at the person in front of her curiously, wanting to get some answers from him.

"Please don't make your words so ambiguous. It makes me seem like I'm having an affair with your master." Lin Chuan held his forehead and said speechlessly.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do. I just got a few storybooks from the bookstore recently. Master's expression at that time really looked like the little girl in the storybook who was afraid to see her lover." Ling Yuexi defended herself with an aunt's smile.

"Watch less."

Lin Chuan was silent for a long time, and finally threw down these words and flew towards Tianjian Peak.

Seeing Lin Chuan leave, Ling Yuexi put away her aunt's smile and returned to the attic.

"he's gone?"

Li Yue lowered her eyes and asked casually.

"gone."

Ling Yuexi stared at Li Yue closely, as if she wanted to see something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Yue felt a little uneasy when she saw Ling Yuexi staring at him. Her disciple seemed a little strange recently.

"Nothing... nothing." Ling Yuexi lowered her head instantly.

"What did he tell you?"

Seeing that Ling Yuexi was no longer staring at her, Liyue nodded with satisfaction this time. This was the right feeling.

"He said he came here to ask Master for some Ten-fold Tonic Pills." Ling Yuexi told Lin Chuan the purpose of his visit.

"Just the Ten-Wholesome Pill? He didn't say anything else, like insulting me or blaming me?"

Li Yue looked incredulous. At least half of the reason why Lin Chuan got into trouble in the demon tribe was her fault. If she hadn't taken Lin Chuan to the demon tribe and lost him, Lin Chuan would definitely not have gotten into trouble.

Li Yue felt that she was responsible for Lin Chuan's misfortune. So, upon learning that Lin Chuan had returned to the Holy Land, she initially felt a surge of joy and relief. In that moment, it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. But then came a deep sense of guilt, which washed over her like a tide, leaving her unsure how to face Lin Chuan.

"No." Ling Yuexi shook her head, then secretly glanced at Li Yue with the corner of her eyes, and there seemed to be a barely perceptible trace of inquiry in her eyes.

"Well...you go ahead and do your thing. I'll be out for a while." After saying that, Li Yue turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

"Master is definitely having an affair with Junior Brother Lin!" Looking at Li Yue's departing figure, Ling Yuexi was secretly certain in her heart.

She had observed Master so carefully just now, taking in every detail of his expression and demeanor. The slightly lowered eyes, the tightly pursed lips, the hands twisting the hem of his clothes, all betrayed an indescribable sense of guilt and unease. It was exactly like the look of a heroine in a storybook who had done something wrong to the hero!
