"Brother, promise me you'll let me finish! I've found a great way to deal with the Zerg..."

On the other end of the teleportation talisman, Lu Gui heard Lu Xiaoyao's hurried tone, her voice even sounding breathy.

That sounds very strange.

"Little sister, what happened to you? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing... I... uh!"

"What? Lu Xiaoyao, don't be stubborn! Where are you? Hold on, survive! I'm coming..." Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's sudden, muffled groan, Lu Gui's expression immediately changed. He really thought something had happened to Lu Xiaoyao. He walked out of the shop and looked at the dark night outside.

This late at night is truly the best time for murder and arson!

"No, you don't need to come, I'm fine... um!"

"You're fine? Are you kidding me? How can I believe you like this? What's wrong with you?" Lu Gui had already taken out a flying artifact he had painstakingly built up through years of cultivation, and was about to take off when he heard a voice—

"I have an upset stomach."

At this moment, Lu Gui's anxious expression, which had been on his face, suddenly froze as he chatted with the teleportation talisman.

Lugui:? ? ?

Damn it!

"You're cultivating immortality... how could you get an upset stomach?"

Lu Gui felt like he was about to laugh out loud in anger. What other "surprises" did his younger sister have that he didn't know about?

"How should I know? I just ate a bowl of egg drop soup~~ Ugh, I'm not chatting anymore, I need to..." The communication talisman snapped shut, allowing Lu Gui to already imagine the scene of the torrent of fluid.

hiss--

Was this conversation really that interesting?

Just as Lu Xiaoyao and her brother were having a very interesting conversation, Mingmei and Mei Jiu were being escorted back to their residence by Mu Chen.

Then they saw the Fifth Elder, who had been meditating in his room during the day, now coming out.

"Come here." The Fifth Elder had a stern face at this moment, which was completely opposite to his previous smiling appearance. Moreover, his eyes were filled with scrutiny and wariness as he looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen stood still, watching Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao walk towards each other. Mingmei couldn't help but want to turn back as she walked, but the Fifth Elder's big hand had already reached out and blocked Mingmei and Mei Jiu's way.

His rejection of Mu Chen was made perfectly public.

Mingmei was also puzzled. Mu Chen met the other's gaze from afar. He simply bowed to the Fifth Elder as a disciple and left without saying a word.

The Fifth Elder frowned upon seeing this and couldn't help but murmur a strange sound.

"What's so strange?"

Mei Jiu had been incredibly curious about the Fifth Elder's actions since earlier, and then when she looked up, she heard him say this.

"It's nothing, it's just... young girls shouldn't talk to strangers casually, understand?"

"Why?" Mei Jiu tilted her head to look at the Fifth Elder and said, "Wouldn't that be very impolite?"

Fifth Elder: "Then don't talk to boys casually."

The Fifth Elder looked at the two sisters with such different personalities and didn't know what to say for a moment. Mingmei, who was standing to the side, had obviously understood his hint, but Mei Jiu was too carefree. He had already made it so clear.

"But Mother said that boys aren't for looking at, they're for... um!"

This time, Mingmei quickly covered Mei Jiu's mouth!

Her mother's reputation is about to be ruined by this!

This last sentence really shouldn't be said!

Didn't you see that the Fifth Elder's expression became very strange when he said this?

Their mother was only occasionally rambling on, but in reality, she was completely dependent on her father. Mingmei didn't admit that her mother had taught them any of these strange things!

This is purely Mei Jiu's own random listening and note-taking!

"Anyway, it's getting late, you should all go back to your rooms and get some sleep."

When the Fifth Elder saw Mingmei smiling awkwardly at him, he knew he probably wouldn't hear any more "interesting" gossip. So, after leading the two back to the courtyard, he slapped another talisman on the gate.

In an instant, a transparent dome with a pale blue halo suddenly unfolded and enveloped the courtyard where they were.

"Then where are you going, Elder?" It was only when Mingmei realized that the Fifth Elder was still dressed the same as during the day, and even had his sword hanging at his waist.

"Let's go for a walk."

Dressed so neatly and carrying a sword, he doesn't look like he's going for a walk.

However, the other party was unwilling to tell the real reason in front of the two little girls. In fact, the Fifth Elder turned around and looked at Mingmei again, saying, "Children should act like children. Don't worry about adults all the time, or you'll become ugly."

Mingmei: ...

After finishing speaking, the other party left. Mei Jiu urged Mingmei to go back to the house. After eating and drinking to her heart's content and taking a walk, it was a good time to sleep.

Mingmei, however, lay on the bed with her eyes open, staring silently at the ceiling.

【Gui Gui, do you think I'll forget Mu Chen when I lie awake waiting for dawn?】

"Yes, you've tried it." Gui Gui reminded Ming Mei not to waste her time.

How many times?

[More than twenty times.]

Oh, so I just endured it like this for the first twenty-odd times?

No, sometimes you would get up to write letters, sometimes you would carve words on the bed board with a knife, and I've even used one of those gadgets that can save audio and video to record things.

[You've already forgotten all of that?] Mingmei felt incredulous. For a moment, she did want to do all the things Guigui had mentioned earlier.

Gui Gui hummed in agreement. Who could argue with that? It seems that Gui Gui herself wasn't the only one who could remind Ming Mei of this.
