After leaving Li Shutong's spiritual residence, Shen Qingmang appeared in Linyuan Palace. The scene before her frightened her so much that she immediately rushed over. "Sui Han!"
The formation that Li Shutong had stepped into in an instant before was a confinement formation. She thought it was meant to confine herself, but she didn't expect that the other party's real purpose was to confine Gu Sui Han. Gu Sui Han was unwilling to be controlled and had been struggling to break free. He had several wounds on his face and body.
"Master, you're okay, that's so great." Gu Suihan smiled, and at the same time, the formation beneath his feet disappeared. Li Shutong lowered his hand and sighed, "Your boyfriend is too impatient. He kidnapped you and made you feel like an ant on the hot pot. I think he's no less anxious than Yan Xiang."
"Don't compare me to that lunatic." Gu Suihan glanced at her distractedly, then immediately fixed all his attention on Shen Qingmang. "Master, you're not injured, are you?"
"I'm fine." Shen Qingmang held his hand and continued to perform healing spells. Fortunately, Gu Sui Han only suffered superficial injuries, which she was able to heal.
"Okay, I won't disturb you two from being so affectionate. Single guys are really annoying. I'm going to find Qi Yao. It's much more comfortable to chat with her than with you." Li Shutong said to Shen Qingmang.
Shen Qingmang didn't even look at her, and waved his hand impatiently. "Hurry up and leave. I can't keep a big Buddha like you here."
Li Shutong made a "tsk" sound and disappeared in an instant. Gu Suihan looked in the direction she disappeared, somewhat confused. "Master, what's going on?"
There had been some tension between the two before, but now they looked like old friends. He even felt that his master got along more easily with Yang Zhidu than with the other people in the Taichu Sect.
"We were just catching up. She doesn't harbor any ill will towards us now, but she might not in the future." Shen Qingmang thought of their last conversation, feeling a bit heavy inside. However, he didn't show any of that to Gu Suihan, instead offering a relaxed smile. "Don't be influenced by her. She loves to play tricks on people, so don't believe a word she says."
"Okay." Gu Sui Han held her hand.
Shen Qingmang looked at his well-behaved expression, but felt a little worried. He said, "Don't keep your questions to yourself. If you really care about what she said, just ask me. I can help you answer."
"Then Master, what is the plot? What is the original novel? What are the cannon fodder supporting characters and the male and female protagonists?"
Gu Suihan's string of questions gave Shen Qingmang a headache. He frowned and pondered how to explain. He immediately said, "I'm just asking casually. I don't really care. If Master doesn't want to tell you or is not comfortable explaining, that's fine. You don't have to worry about it."
"I'm not unwilling, but it might be a little troublesome to explain." Shen Qingmang said, "You've already guessed about the difference between my original world and this one. It's not as exaggerated as you say, like a grain of sand, but in fact... it's not in the same dimension. Your story is recorded in a storybook, and I happened to read it."
"So the person who wrote the storybook is Yang Zhidu?"
"Yes, she's the author. The so-called plot refers to the story that was originally going to happen to you, which is what we call your past life. But I haven't finished reading the storybook, so I don't understand it very well. The original work refers to the storybook. As for the cannon fodder supporting characters and the male and female protagonists..."
Shen Qingmang touched his nose. "The term 'cannon fodder supporting role' is a self-deprecating term for me. Qiongju's character doesn't appear much in the storybook, and ends with death, her life fleeting. The hero and heroine are the central characters of the storybook, which means..."
"Haoxin and Si Rong," Gu Suihan finished, then smiled faintly. "These two little fools are so unexpectedly the center of attention. How could anyone want to read their story? I find it boring every day. They're just children playing house."
"I don't think you're any better than them. You've made yourself look so miserable just because I disappeared for a while." Shen Qingmang said as he stood on tiptoe and pinched his nose.
"Master has been gone for two hours." Gu Suihan pursed his lips. "Is it normal for a disciple to worry about you getting into trouble?"
"Ah? So long? We talked so much? Oh yes, the flow of time in the spiritual palace is also different from reality." Shen Qingmang muttered.
"She let you into her spirit house?"
"yes."
"It seems that the relationship between you is really unusual." Gu Suihan's hand touched the hilt of the Qionglin Sword.
"You wouldn't be so jealous, would you? She even lived in my spiritual palace for ten years." Shen Qingmang laughed.
"But I have never been to Master's spiritual palace once." He felt a little aggrieved.
"Eh? Really? Then I'll take you in and have some fun. Close your eyes."
Gu Sui Han obediently closed his eyes and bent his knees to lower his body so that Shen Qingmang could touch his forehead more smoothly.
Their foreheads touched, and she rubbed her nose against his affectionately, then sank her consciousness into her spiritual palace, opening a door for Gu Sui Han.
"Master likes bamboo?"
What came into view was a bamboo forest, and Gu Sui Han looked around curiously.
"I'd rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. Bamboo forests bring me a sense of peace. But my spiritual home isn't just bamboo forests."
Shen Qingmang gently took Gu Suihan's hand and led him through the bamboo forest. A large garden appeared in front of them. Various flowers bloomed one after another, the fragrance was fragrant, and butterflies lingered among them.
"The flowers here look like the ones we saw in Chaohua Palace," said Gu Suihan.
"Yes, many of them are the flowers in the Chaohua Palace that I recreated based on my memory. After all, the flowers they cultivate are truly beautiful."
"Can I go in and take a look at the house in front?"
"Of course, there's no place in my spiritual palace that you can't go. But this room is a little different. Be prepared."
Gu Sui Han walked through the flowers carefully, afraid of stepping on a flower. Shen Qingmang followed behind him, wanting to watch the show.
As soon as he opened the door, he said "Huh?"
"What are these...?"
Shen Qingmang smiled and showed him around. "This is a refrigerator. It functions similarly to an ice cellar, but with a more flexible temperature. Want some Coke? I had coffee in Li Shutong's spiritual abode today, but I don't really like coffee and find it difficult to recreate its flavor. I can recreate the taste of Coke 100% perfectly. Try it."
As she spoke, she took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator, opened the pull ring, and handed one to Gu Sui Han.
He held it gently. "It's a little cold."
"Take a sip, take a sip quickly."
He raised his hand, took a sip cautiously, and his eyes widened.
"Hmm... How could this happen? It feels like something exploded in my mouth."
"That's the carbonation, the essence of Coke. Coke without the carbonation is just syrup."
