Sheng Yuan knew that Yu Huaizhou would come to him on rainy days, so on this day, Sheng Yuan would rest in his bedchamber, while at other times he would still seize the time to find a solution.

Master Shengyuan usually teaches with all his heart and soul, and leaves the rest of the time for them to figure things out on their own. If they can't find their master, then they'll go to their eldest brother.

Therefore, many people would seek advice from Yu Huaizhou.

Yu Huaizhou, as the senior disciple, also did his best to help.

Sheng Yuan was right. Yu Huaizhou did indeed enjoy lively gatherings. When Sheng Yuan wasn't around, he would stay in the disciples' courtyard.

Yu Huaizhou didn't seem to care where he was when he was out of sight; he was just focused on his cultivation.

His happiness level was steadily increasing every day, especially in front of Sheng Yuan.

As for the heart rate, it has remained around fifty and hasn't changed much.

Yu Huaizhou's fifth junior brother was a man of many ideas and a fondness for wine tasting.

Thus, Yu Huaizhou got drunk in the disciples' courtyard.

Both Third Uncle and Senior Brother Bai Si knew that Yu Huaizhou couldn't drink alcohol, and after that one time, they stopped letting Yu Huaizhou drink, and Yu Huaizhou obediently stopped drinking.

But perhaps on a whim that night, Yu Huaizhou broke his own rules and began to drink the peach blossom wine that his fifth junior brother had found.

Nuonuo saw it and quickly reported it to Shengyuan.

When the sound came from afar, Yu Huaizhou was already drunk.

After getting drunk, Yu Huaizhou was even more well-behaved than usual, sitting quietly and drinking one glass after another without saying a word.

The five men were having a great time drinking and didn't realize that Yu Huaizhou was drunk.

When the sound came from afar, the five people, who were slightly drunk, were all startled awake.

"Master!"

Sheng Yuan didn't leave them; he went straight to Yu Huaizhou and, seeing that he seemed drunk, knelt down on one knee to check on him.

When his master's face suddenly appeared in his sight, Yu Huaizhou's eyes widened slightly. "Master~"

"Hmm." Sheng Yuan saw that he was quite drunk, so he said, "I will take you back."

When the group saw their master carry their eldest brother away, they looked at each other and then lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear that their master would notice and punish them.

Yu Huaizhou leaned against Sheng Yuan's chest like he had no bones, his eyes fixed on Sheng Yuan's face, without saying a word.

Sheng Yuan walked steadily back to the main hall, looking down at him as he saw him staring at him, and said, "Can't drink, yet you're still trying to be tough?"

Yu Huaizhou ignored him.

“…Xiang, Sheng, Yuan.” Yu Huaizhou was very confused. He reached out and touched Sheng Yuan’s face. Instead of calling him “Master,” he called him by his name, uttering each word slowly and deliberately.

Sheng Yuan corrected him, "Wrong, it should be Sheng Yuan."

"...The sound, far away?"

"Ah."

Sheng Yuan was quite pleased that he called his name and even nodded.

Yu Huaizhou withdrew his hand, hugged Sheng Yuan's neck tightly, and took a deep breath in Sheng Yuan's neck.

"Is it because you're feeling down that you're drinking?"

Sheng Yuan asked the reason, but Yu Huaizhou remained silent, not knowing why.

Sheng Yuan looked down and realized that he had fallen asleep. He sighed helplessly, went into the palace, gently placed him on the bed, covered him with a quilt and prepared to leave, but was pulled by the corner of his clothes.

Before Sheng Yuan could turn around, Yu Huaizhou hugged him from behind.

"I'm in pain, and I'm in pain because of Sheng Yuan!"

Hearing Yu Huaizhou's sudden outburst of tears, Sheng Yuan immediately snapped out of his daze and embraced Yu Huaizhou. However, after half an hour of comforting, Yu Huaizhou only repeated that he was in pain and said nothing else.

In the end, Yu Huaizhou cried himself to sleep, and Sheng Yuan didn't even get a chance to ask him why he was so upset.

Life on the main peak was comfortable and carefree. Yu Huaizhou held a high position, and no one dared to upset him. Apart from the fact that he was feeling unwell from drinking, Sheng Yuan couldn't think of anything else that was bothering him.

When Yu Huaizhou woke up the next day, he was all smiles again, and obediently greeted Sheng Yuanxing: "Master."

"Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine and have no discomfort."

Seeing that Yu Huaizhou was indeed alright, Sheng Yuan was relieved.

It seems like there's a blackout.

Yu Huaizhou was as relaxed as ever, which put his five junior brothers and sisters at ease, since they felt a little guilty about encouraging their senior brother to drink.

Sheng Yuan still punished them by making them copy books.

Yu Huaizhou thought that perhaps he had alerted his master and that's why they were discovered, so he offered to help them.

Sheng Yuan knew about it, but didn't say anything.

The library housed thousands of books, and Sheng Yuan finally found a book on sealing demonic energy in a corner.

It was hidden in the deepest part.

Sheng Yuan opened the book and stared at the few lines of text without saying a word.

Nuonuo turned around when she saw that Shengyuan had stopped turning the pages of his book, and floated to Shengyuan's side.

[The Spirit Jade, nurtured by heaven and earth, follows the will of heaven, purifying demonic energy. When the jade shatters, the magic is completed, and all things are revived. However, the Spirit Jade is hard to find. If one needs the progenitor of demon-slaying, a Nascent Soul Venerable can use their body as a conduit. Their death will complete the magic, protecting all living beings... Young Master, this method...]

Nuonuo didn't know what to say; perhaps it should comfort him.

The conditions for killing Queyu are already clearly defined here: either a spirit jade or a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. This world is too special; there is no Heavenly Dao, and the laws are merely strict enforcers of predetermined rules. This means that the young master cannot use any other methods to eliminate Queyu besides these two. Last time, when the young master saved his master, he used his own magic power, and the laws have already warned him with a backlash of magic power…

Nuonuo muttered to herself.

The rules are predetermined procedures; one time it's a warning, the next time it could be kicking someone out of the world.

If there were a Heavenly Way, Sheng Yuan might be able to negotiate terms, but since there isn't, he would definitely hesitate to act for Huai Zhou's sake.

Sheng Yuan suddenly felt that this world had a specific purpose.

[As long as the heart rate reaches 100%, that's enough, right?]

Sheng Yuan asked.

According to the rules, a mission is considered successful if the player obtains 100% of the target's happiness and affection levels before the mission ends. This means that a 100% happiness and affection level is required for the mission to be considered successful at the end of the mission. Young Master, the master must ensure that the affection level is 100% before dying.

【I understand.】

Sheng Yuan reached out and destroyed the book.

Nuonuo immediately understood the young master's plan.

He made the same choice as his owner.

After leaving the library, Sheng Yuan did not return to his own bedroom, but instead sat down by Yu Huaizhou's bedside.

Yu Huaizhou felt someone touch his face, and in his daze, he opened his eyes and saw his master.

He sat up and looked at his master, asking, "Master, what brings you here?"

"I came to check on you, worried you weren't sleeping well," Sheng Yuan said gently, brushing away the stray hairs from his face.

Yu Huaizhou noticed that Sheng Yuan was in low spirits, so he moved closer, put his arm around Sheng Yuan's waist, and leaned against Sheng Yuan's chest, saying, "I really can't sleep well without Master's company. If Master is done with his work, would you like to spend more time with your disciple?"

"Okay." Sheng Yuan hugged the person and gently patted his back.

"Master, I'm so sleepy, let's get some rest." Yu Huaizhou said in her usual coquettish manner.

After listening to him, Sheng Yuan followed his wishes and accompanied him to sleep.

Neither of them could sleep in the darkness. Sheng Yuan held the person in his arms and gently patted their back, coaxing Yu Huaizhou to sleep, as if he were also coaxing himself to sleep.

Yu Huaizhou rested his head on Sheng Yuan's shoulder and neck, his eyes open. His arms gradually tightened, and finally he buried his face in Sheng Yuan's chest and rubbed against him.

[Ding! Target's affection level: 75%]

His heart rate spiked, and the sudden notification made Sheng Yuan look down at the person in his arms.

Yu Huaizhou seemed to sense something, looked up and met Sheng Yuan's eyes, then lowered her head and leaned into Sheng Yuan's arms, "Master, can you spend more time with Huaizhou? Huaizhou is very well-behaved."

Sheng Yuan hugged the man tightly, took a deep breath, placed his hand on his shoulder, and gently stroked it. "Mmm, go to sleep."
