Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

"??? What are you doing? Why are you blocking my eyes? Can't I see?!" Jiang Shiliu was very unhappy, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her mouth could hang on her clothes, looking exactly like an annoyed kitten.

Jiang Moqi's lips curled into a mischievous smile. He slowly lowered his head, bringing his lips close to Jiang Shiliu's ear, and whispered, "Hehe, that's true! After all, what he has, our little Shiliu also has! Isn't that right, little Shiliu~" After saying that, he deliberately blew a breath into her ear.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu's face instantly flushed crimson, like a ripe apple. However, she maintained her composure, stubbornly shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting! Who is Xiao Shiliu? I don't know anyone like that! My name is Jiang Limou, and I've come here specifically to take the alchemist certificate exam! Get your hand out of my sight! How am I supposed to check the effects of the pills with you blocking my view like this!" Despite her forceful words, a fine layer of sweat, like glistening pearls, appeared on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks. Clearly, she was inwardly panicked.

“Oh, I see,” Jiang Moqi replied with a hint of realization, his words tinged with apology. “I was indeed too rash and presumptuous. But… are these naked men really that handsome? To be able to make people stare without blinking. Heh! It seems I need to find a suitable opportunity to go to the Xuantian Sword Sect and ask Elder Yun Che how he taught his disciple, how could he have raised such a lustful person…”

Meanwhile, Gu Ming, who was watching the interaction between the two from the sidelines, was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why his boss, who was usually indifferent to romantic relationships and seemed almost sexually frigid, would do something so outrageous with a young man who was only a teenager.

Could there be some special relationship between them? But wait! Anyone familiar with Jiang Moqi knows that there's always been someone very important in his heart. Could it be that this teenager is that person he cherishes so deeply? No way! Isn't this a classic case of an older man dating a younger woman?!

Now, let's talk about Gu Ming. His cultivation has already reached the Mahayana stage, and he's certainly not young—at least five hundred years old. More importantly, when he met Jiang Moqi, he was still a naive and immature young man. Therefore, Jiang Moqi's age is probably at least a thousand years old! (This is all because Jiang Moqi traveled back in time a thousand years to lay the foundation for the Qiankun Pavilion.)

Jiang Moqi didn't block Jiang Shiliu's view for long. Just then, someone quickly brought a clean white sheet and carefully covered the body of the person who was testing the drug. In this way, at least Jiang Shiliu could be assured that she would no longer see the man's naked body.

Jiang Moqi thought to himself, "Fortunately, I remembered the side effects of the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill in time. After all, Jiang Shiliu came here for the assessment, and she must witness the experimental results of the pills she made. If things are left to develop, she will definitely see other men behaving in such an indecent manner, which is absolutely unacceptable!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Shiliu was already frantic with worry because of Jiang Moqi's words. Without hesitation, she reached out her right hand and pinched Jiang Moqi's waist hard, then leaned close to his ear and threatened in a low voice, "Hmph, I'm doing this entirely to conceal my true identity. I belong to a sect, and I absolutely cannot let them know that I'm here! I'm supposed to serve in your Qiankun Pavilion. If you dare to reveal my secret, I'll fight to the death rather than set foot in your Qiankun Pavilion!"

"Alright, alright, I absolutely won't tell anyone, but the effect of your disguise pill seems less than ideal! The appearance after taking it is far too ordinary!" Jiang Moqi frowned slightly, staring intently at the unfamiliar and unremarkable face in front of him, and asked with a heart full of suspicion.

The face that should have become mysterious or unique due to the disguise was now utterly unremarkable, resembling any random passerby on the street. Jiang Moqi couldn't help but feel disappointed and confused, after all, he had held certain expectations for this disguise pill.

Upon hearing Jiang Moqi's question, Jiang Shiliu immediately flew into a rage. Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes widened in anger, and she retorted in a low voice to Jiang Moqi, "All of this is to ensure safety! Don't meddle in other people's business! Besides, the way you just made that eye-catching gesture was exactly like those annoying, greasy old men back in my hometown! It's unbearable!"

Jiang Shiliu's words were like sharp daggers, piercing straight into Jiang Moqi's heart. Jiang Moqi felt a sharp pain in his heart. The woman he loved actually described him in such a way, not only calling him greasy but also comparing him to an old man! Was he really that unsightly? He couldn't help but look down at himself, repeatedly considering whether he really looked old and inappropriate.

In an instant, Jiang Moqi felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, and he fell into deep self-doubt. His face was pale, his lips were tightly closed, and he didn't say another word. Instead, he turned around abruptly, grabbed Gu Ming beside him, and hurriedly left.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Moqi's mood was incredibly heavy, his mind filled with Jiang Shiliu's hurtful words. As he walked, he poured out his grievances and pain to Gu Ming, as if trying to dump all his unhappiness at once.

"You be the judge! Is there some kind of poison on her lips? How come she always says things that could kill me? Am I really that ugly?" Jiang Moqi complained and accused his friend Gu Ming, feeling wronged.

As Gu Ming listened to his words, the scene of his first meeting with Jiang Moqi involuntarily surfaced in his mind. That day, the sun shone brightly, and Jiang Moqi walked slowly towards him against the light. In the interplay of light and shadow, a faint smile graced his androgynous face, as if he had stepped out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful! At that moment, Gu Ming felt that any flowery words would be pale and powerless to describe Jiang Moqi's beauty.

It was precisely because of Jiang Moqi's exceptionally handsome, almost otherworldly appearance that he attracted a great deal of trouble. Anyone fortunate enough to have witnessed his true face, whether man or woman, would invariably have the same thought—to pounce on this celestial beauty before them! Faced with this situation, Jiang Moqi was truly miserable. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening frequently, he had no choice but to wear a mask, thus concealing his peerless beauty and living a low-key life for the years.
