Chapter 1373 He Woke Up

This apprentice has suddenly become quite shrewd and clever.

Song Chunxue remained calm and said, "Tell me about it."

"Master, please sit down. I'll have someone bring some food, and we can eat and chat." With that, Qi Yun waved to the outside.

Two maids, with steady little steps, quickly brought over hot porridge, steamed buns, side dishes, and a pot of hot tea, and then hurriedly withdrew.

The house had wooden planks on the floor, unlike the thatched huts of ordinary people, exuding understated luxury.

This apprentice really knows how to manage his money; he never shortchanges himself.

What conditions can he set?

Curious as she was, Song Chunxue wasn't in a hurry to ask.

Sure enough, Qi Yun told her everything: that she had been unconscious for twenty hours, that Lord Xie and Daoist Han had come, and that Sun He had been taken in for interrogation.

Qi Yun was born to eat meat. Today he had porridge, but the side dishes were a plate of braised chicken and half a pork knuckle.

It was so early in the morning, she was so hungry she didn't dare look up!

This little fox, is he deliberately trying to make things difficult for her?

To be honest, in the past twenty years, she hasn't craved other meats, but the thought of a large pork knuckle, with its fatty and tender meat and the chunk of lean meat underneath, paired with a clove of garlic, is absolutely unthinkable and would torment her for days.

She simply drank two bowls of porridge and ate three meat buns, and once she was full, she wouldn't crave anything anymore.

Qi Yun could tell that she wanted to eat, and kept offering her food, saying, "Master, if you want to eat, then eat. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart'? I don't know the exact Taoist saying, but it's pretty much the same. It's okay to have a meal like this once in a while."

Song Chunxue glanced at him and said, "That's also called breaking the rules."

He took a couple of sips of tea, put down the white porcelain teacup, and said, "What are your conditions? If you don't tell me, I should leave."

“Master, you can’t leave yet. Master Han said you should stay away from other places these next few days. It’s safer for you to stay here with me.” Qi Yun patted his knee and sighed, “I guessed right. Sure enough, all those earth-shattering events before were done by Master. Didn’t you think about the consequences of going out?”

"That was my own choice."

Qi Yun patted his forehead. "Master, wouldn't it be better if we lived a little longer? If it weren't for Master Han arriving in time, you would have been beaten into a fool by Sun He. Besides, you have internal injuries and need to recuperate properly."

Song Chunxue looked at him, her expression calm and serene.

Forget it, he can't beat his master.

"I don't have any conditions, I just want Master to treat me as one of his own, to treat me as a true disciple. For the next two weeks, please take me with you in everything you do." Seeing Song Chunxue's expression, he quickly raised his hand to add, "The latter is Master Han's idea, he's worried about you being alone."

He was worried about her, afraid she would cause trouble outside.

"How is Lord Xie doing?"

Qi Yun nodded, "He's fine. He's been busy cultivating all these years and has made rapid progress. Master Han has practically used all his hidden skills. You don't need to worry about him."

"Hmph, he's no longer the kind-hearted Lord Xie he used to be. You don't need to worry about him; taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

Mentioning Xie Zheng reminded Qi Yun of the time he had been bewitched by Xie Zheng.

Song Chunxue also felt a slight pain, and she casually took out a small bottle of divine spring water and drank it.

"You..." Qi Yun clearly recognized him too, "Where are you going?"

"Keep guarding the observatory. Are the mother and child in the palace still safe?"

Qi Yun was at a loss. She wiped her face with both hands. Didn't you hear anything I said earlier?

"Then let's go, I'll go with you."

"Go and remove the curse first," Song Chunxue said, handing him a jar of wine. "Although I really want to drink your wedding wine, the feelings controlled by the curse might not be real. After the curse is removed, you can then decide whether you want to marry her."

Qi Yun's deep eyes instantly filled with tears. "As expected, Master still cares about his disciple. I'll go now, Master, wait for me."

He ran out as soon as he finished speaking.

Oh well, he's still just a child.

Song Chunxue returned to the observatory and secretly went to visit the mother and child. Fortunately, they were washing clothes in the yard.

As she quietly turned around, she suddenly sensed an obstacle; someone was also lurking beside her!
