Gu Xingyun's whole body was shaking.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Yan Huailiu stretched out his hand to investigate.

Gu Xingyun took a half step back to avoid it: "No, I am fine."

The emotions he had prepared for were interrupted, and Yan Huailiu didn't feel comfortable saying thank you again. He just whispered, "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm doing fine." Gu Xingyun forced a smile. "Here we are. I'll go call them out."

He quickened his pace and walked in, leaving Yan Huailiu wondering behind: "Did I say something wrong? Why is he acting so strangely?"

Little Lightning just woke up at this time and stretched out in Yan Huailiu's palm.

"If you don't wake up, I'll sell you." Yan Huailiu's attention was attracted by it, and he pinched its little ears and teased it.

Little Lightning meowed and looked around curiously.

"I have to leave for a few days for something. How about you stay with Jingming and the others? They will definitely not let you go hungry." Yan Huailiu whispered.

Little Lightning was not very happy and buried his face in his hands without saying a word.

There were sounds of conversation in the yard, and Yan Huailiu walked in.

Ling Xinghua held a sword in one hand and held Yu Ziheng, who was clinging to him, in the other hand. He was talking to Gu Xingyun with an embarrassed look on his face.

Gu Xingyun's mind was not here. He just said, "I'll go call Jingming to get up." Then he turned and left.

Yan Huailiu was amused and walked over to pat Yu Ziheng on the back: "Whose child is like you, still wanting to be held at this age? Come down."

Yu Ziheng had his back to him, but when he heard the sound, he struggled to slide down, hugged Ling Xinghua's thighs and looked at him timidly.

Yan Huailiu's expression softened considerably, and he squatted down to apologize again: "Ziheng, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly at that time, and I didn't mean to attack you."

It's such a sin to scare yourself like this by having such a lively child.

Yu Ziheng's first reaction was to look up at Ling Xinghua, who pushed him from behind and gave him a reassuring look.

Yan Huailiu took out a rattle from his bag and said, "This is for you as an apology. Can you forgive me this time?"

Yu Ziheng was so aggrieved that he wiped away his tears: "I, I haven't played this since I was three years old."

"Ah? Don't all kids like this? I only have this... Well, then what do you want? I'll go buy it for you." Yan Huailiu could only apologize and was really not good at coaxing people.

Yu Ziheng snatched the rattle: "I want this, woo woo woo... Master, I'm not your favorite disciple, am I?"

The kid still cares about this.

Yan Huailiu coughed and said awkwardly, "I like them all. I like them all."

He loves every kind and well-behaved life equally.

Yu Ziheng burst into tears and sobbed, "Then, then will Master still like me in the future?"

"Yes, I will definitely do it." Yan Huailiu was so overwhelmed by his crying that he could only ask for help from Ling Xinghua next to him.

Ling Xinghua took out a handkerchief and wiped Yu Ziheng's face: "Okay, if you cry again, Master will not like you anymore."

It was very effective. Yu Ziheng stopped crying immediately, then moved a little bit into Yan Huailiu's arms, hugged his neck and acted coquettishly: "I won't cry anymore, Master, please don't dislike me."

Adhering to the principle of coaxing the child to the end, Yan Huailiu reluctantly handed Little Lightning to Ling Xinghua, and resignedly picked up Yu Ziheng to comfort him.

This kid has gained weight again!

It became more difficult for him to hold it!

Ling Xinghua was very familiar with Little Lightning, after all, he had fed him several times.

"Master, you're so hot." Yu Ziheng rubbed him twice and put his little hand on his head: "Are you sick?"

Ling Xinghua frowned and observed for a while: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, it's just that the spiritual energy in my body is a little restless. I came here to tell you that I have to go into seclusion for the next period of time. You guys should practice well and eat well. If you have any problems, go to Wuya Peak to find your junior master."

"How long will Master be in seclusion?" Ling Xinghua asked worriedly, "Will there be any danger?"

"It's just a retreat. There won't be any danger. As for how long... I'm not sure, but it won't be long."

Gu Xingyun just came out with the sleepy Chang Sui. He just glanced at Yu Ziheng who was clinging to Yan Huailiu, and the latter immediately got down obediently.

"Master... Senior Brother told me that you are going to go into seclusion?" Chang Sui asked, rubbing his eyes.

Yan Huailiu rubbed his head and said, "Yes, so I'll ask you to take care of everyone for the next period of time. I'll leave Little Lightning with you. You can take it with you when you go to collect herbs. It's very powerful and can find herbs by itself."

Chang Sui's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?! Then I'll carry it with me every day! Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of everyone."

"Yeah, be good." Yan Huailiu looked at the group of children surrounding him and felt inexplicably relieved.

What a sense of accomplishment, he actually had the opportunity to be a master to so many children.

Chang Sui happily hugged Little Lightning and kissed him fiercely: "From now on, we will be partners!"

Little Lightning pushed him with his claws, his face full of disgust.

I remember now! This guy is the bad guy who didn't let me rub my claws on his clothes!

After explaining things to these disciples, Yan Huailiu said goodbye and was about to leave when Ling Xinghua called out to him, "Master..."

"Um?"

Ling Xinghua rubbed his head sheepishly. "Well, can I follow the other brothers down the mountain to train in a few days? It just so happens that it's the time when the major sects assign tasks. I've been training for a while, so I want to..."

Yan Huailiu recalled the relevant plot. It seemed that every year, the major sects in the cultivation world would receive various commissions. Basically, they were simple tasks, which were just right for the disciples to practice.
