Gu Xingyun casually pulled away the wild fruits beside him.

After taking a look at it, he threw it on the ground.

"I didn't pay attention, so I don't know."

His tone was extremely stiff, but he had already thought over and over in his mind how many moles the person had on his face.

Yan Huailiu was tired from walking, so he stopped and took a few breaths of fresh air. He felt that the annoyance in his heart had dissipated a lot.

He closed his eyes, feeling the sudden breeze, and finished the rest of his sentence before Gu Xingyun got angry.

"I think her age and appearance are a good match for Xinghua, and her character should be okay too, otherwise Pavilion Master Shangguan wouldn't have kept her by his side."

Gu Xingyun blinked twice, raised his hand to pick a fresh wild fruit, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and handed it to Yan Huailiu's mouth: "Master, do you want to eat it?"

Yan Huailiu tilted his head back, avoiding the feeding: "No, I don't want to eat."

Gu Xingyun immediately withdrew his hand and put it directly into his mouth. He shuddered at the sour taste and turned his head to spit it out while Yan Huailiu was not paying attention.

"Your junior brother looks so dull. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to expect him to take the initiative to meet a female cultivator of the same age. If there is a chance in the future, you can mention it to him and try to introduce him to someone."

At this time, he did not forget to solve the last hidden danger.

Gu Xingyun was quite protective of his fellow apprentices, so he nodded and agreed upon hearing this.

But he couldn't help but persuade her: "Master, you can't force things in the relationship, and Junior Brother Ling may not like it either."

His junior fellow apprentice still had his own messy accounts to settle.

In other words, they are not too old now, and in a few years, they will go crazy and no one will be able to persuade them.

Maybe the first person to be scared will be Master.

Hmm...should he leave a few letters in advance to explain things?

However, Junior Brother Ling is probably the one he needs to worry about the least.

Just a little reminder will be enough, there is no need to interfere too much.

"I know. I just want to mention it so that he can meet a few more people, just in case he meets someone he likes."

Yan Huailiu glanced at the forest ahead and turned decisively: "Let's go, it's getting late."

"Master, are you in a bad mood?"

Gu Xingyun chased after him and asked, then reached out and held his hand.

Yan Huailiu didn't struggle to break free. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "A little bit."

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" Gu Xingyun asked cautiously.

"No." Yan Huailiu held his hand tightly: "It's not you, it's my problem."

He thought of a very suitable excuse: "I'm just not used to it. I've met too many people these past two days and I feel very tired from all the talking."

Hearing him say he was tired, Gu Xingyun's eyes dimmed and he forced a smile.

"Then Master, you can rest for the rest of the time. No need to say anything, I'll do it."

No time left?

He was clearly being very careful along the way, and didn't expend much spiritual energy except for traveling.

It’s only been a few days…

No one said where they were going, but the routes were surprisingly consistent.

When passing by a certain place, Gu Xingyun took advantage of the time when Yan Huailiu was fetching water and left for a while.

When they saw the town, the two of them walked towards the inn where they had stayed before, following a tacit understanding.

They were hard to recognize in that attire, so the innkeeper just exchanged a few polite words, handed them a bunch of keys, and pointed to a room on the second floor.

Gu Xingyun didn't answer, but pointed to another room: "Is anyone living there? I like that location, you can pay more."

The boss looked him up and down and shook his head: "No, it's already been booked. No matter how much you add, it won't work."

"Who booked it? I'll go talk to him." Gu Xingyun continued to ask.

The old man sitting next to him eating was amused and helped to explain: "Hey, young man, it doesn't matter where you live. Don't even think about that room. It's reserved for our Moon-Watching Immortal Lord. No one else can live there."

The boss nodded with a smile. "Yes, judging from your appearance, you must be a cultivator. You must have heard of our Moon-Watching Immortal Lord. Could I ask you two if he's doing well lately?"

Gu Xingyun thought for a moment: "Everything is fine."

Before he could say anything else, Yan Huailiu gently tugged at his clothes from behind, and Gu Xingyun stopped pestering him.

"Since it is reserved for the Immortal Lord, I will not offend him. It is the same even if I live next door."

"That's right." The old man who was eating next to him continued to persuade him, "The other rooms are also first-class. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

The shopkeeper, who was just being polite at first, became much friendlier and asked kindly after exchanging a few words.

"Is one room enough? Is it because you don't have enough money? It's not easy to be away from home, and there aren't many guests this month. I'll prepare another room for you."

Gu Xingyun quickly refused: "No, thank you, boss, it's just that my master...my brother is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of him."

The boss tilted his head to glance at Yan Huailiu, who was wearing a mask and remained silent the entire time, and nodded in understanding: "Is that so... Then you can rest early, I won't disturb you. Just shout if you need anything."

Took the key and entered the room.

Yan Huailiu took off his mask immediately and checked the painful area in the mirror.

After wearing it for too long, several red marks were left on my face from the metal rubbing against it.

Gu Xingyun pulled him to sit down, carefully applied the ointment on his face, and blew on it gently.

The swelling and pain quickly disappeared, and Yan Huailiu asked with a smile, "When did I become your brother?"

Gu Xingyun screwed the lid shut and pretended to be confused: "Master, do you mean to let me be the elder brother? That's not impossible..."

He has been dreaming about it for many years.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't be disrespectful."

This apprentice is becoming more and more shameless.

Knowing that he was embarrassed, Gu Xingyun stopped teasing him. He turned around to wash his hands, then took out an extra-large food box and placed it on the table.

He waved Yan Huailiu over and said, "Master, don't you like to eat these? I bought some on the way."

"Dim sum from Zifangzhai? They actually sold it to you?" Yan Huailiu looked surprised.

Gu Xingyun picked up a piece and fed it to him: "Maybe they didn't recognize me because I didn't look like a member of the Yuxu Sect. But there's a portrait of Master at the entrance of Zifangzhai. I think it's quite nice, so I didn't destroy it."

"Ah?" Yan Huailiu asked vaguely, his mouth full of snacks, "What portrait?"

"Nothing, Master, try this, it seems to be their new product."

Gu Xingyun quickly changed the subject.

It's hard to tell him that it's a very lifelike full-length portrait, placed on the right side of the entrance to Zifangzhai, with a huge line of words written on it: This person is not allowed to enter.

Oh, it says on the left: Disciples of the Yuxu Sect are not allowed to enter.

In the entire cultivation world, the only one who dared to offend their sect so openly was probably Zifangzhai.

His master has a good temper and has never had any grudge against Zifangzhai over the years.

"Master, after we finish eating, I will accompany you to burn incense for our master."

Gu Xingyun asked softly.

Yan Huailiu paused in eating and nodded after a long while: "Okay."
