Lan Shan looked at Ao Qian with surprise, because she saw very complicated emotions in the young lord's eyes. He seemed to be suppressing these emotions and processing them on his own. If she was not mistaken, the way the young lord looked when he spoke just now was the first time he had revealed his feelings to her.
"Young Master, she doesn't know your feelings yet, does she?" Lan Shan asked, puzzled. The young master had always been proud and fearless.
Why is it that even though everyone likes Song Xiwei so much, and even gave her the black gemstone hair crown, they still haven't revealed their feelings?
“There’s plenty of time, no rush,” Ao Qian said, suppressing some complex thoughts.
Lanshan didn't say anything more, only replying, "I will complete the task you entrusted to me! And, best wishes to you and Aunt Song..."
"Someone's coming!" Lan Shan was interrupted by Ao Qian before she could finish speaking.
"It's Venerable Penglai, Young Master, you should leave first!" Lanshan hurriedly opened a window and said to Aoqian.
Ao Qian jumped out of the window and left. Not long after, the voice of Venerable Penglai rang out from the doorway: "Wanwan?"
"Venerable One," Lan Shan opened the door, looking bewildered as if she had just woken up, "Why are you here?"
Lanshan, with her charmingly innocent manner, took the arm of Venerable Penglai.
The Venerable Penglai's eyes swept across the room, seemingly searching for something.
Lan Shan suppressed her guilt and said, "Venerable One, I feel a little dizzy..."
Sure enough, as soon as Lanshan said she wasn't feeling well, Venerable Penglai immediately became anxious. "Why are you feeling dizzy? Take a rest first."
Venerable Penglai helped her sit down carefully, looking at Lanshan's terribly haggard appearance with a pained expression. "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
"I've been awake for several days now, why hasn't Song Xiwei come to see me? She's the one who saved me, and I haven't even been able to see her yet. Didn't she come to Penglai?" Lanshan began to probe.
"You want to see her? This..." Venerable Penglai looked troubled.
"Can't I see her? Although I almost got into trouble at the gap gate, it was Song Xiwei who saved me. She doesn't have any bad intentions towards me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought her to Penglai, would you?"
Looking at Lanshan's innocent and naive face, who thought so highly of everyone, her simple and naive appearance aroused the Venerable Penglai's strong protective instinct.
Although Venerable Penglai knew that the Wanwan before him was only a reconstructed remnant soul, not her true self.
The real Wanwan is a proud woman who doesn't easily bow her head, and she's certainly not the kind of delicate and weak woman you see.
But no matter what kind of evening it was, it could always captivate Venerable Penglai.
He said to Lanshan affectionately, "Not now, she's very useful to me. But I'll try my best to let her live a few more days, as a way of repaying her for saving you."
Lan Shan nodded in agreement with a joyful expression.
Venerable Penglai always felt that something was different every night.
Since her injury, she seems to have become even more clingy to him, taking the initiative to get close to him and hold his hand...
These things had never happened before Wanwan's incident.
The innocent and carefree Wanwan simply thought she was her disciple, without any other feelings.
But this evening, she would look at him with such captivating eyes, and he would hold her soft, fragrant body against his chest.
Venerable Penglai felt that every time he stepped into this place, he was somewhat intoxicated, as if in a dream, and did not want to wake up.
His love tribulations—he fell in love with Wanwan, whom he shouldn't have—tortured him for many years. Now, his suffering has finally come to an end, and he is about to reap the rewards of his love.
Oh, gap, no matter how many years we've known each other, you shouldn't have made a move on me, Wanwan!
After the Venerable Penglai had lulled Lanshan to sleep, he quietly closed the door and left.
