"Huh? Is my strength so weak that I can't even push the door open?" Shen Qingmang was a little confused. He increased his strength and pushed again, but the door still didn't move.
Now she finally realized that something was wrong. She frantically recalled several spells that could help break the door and performed them one by one. However, she didn't know whether her cultivation was not enough or the spell that sealed the door was too advanced, so she was exhausted and the door was still closed.
"What's going on?" Shen Qingmang took a deep breath, pinched the intertwined branches pendant around his neck, and shouted, "Sui Han?"
Almost in the next second, Gu Suihan appeared in front of her with a food box in his hand.
"Sorry, Master, I'm late because I just went to the dining hall to pick out breakfast for you."
"Ah, do you need to worry about such a small matter? I can go to the cafeteria to eat by myself. I know where the cafeteria of Wendao Peak is." Shen Qingmang smiled and reached out to take the lunch box.
Gu Suihan placed the food box directly on the table and opened it layer by layer. "Crystal dumplings, lotus leaf rice porridge, and vinegar-simmered fire grass. Master, do you still like to eat these?"
"Of course I like it." Shen Qingmang nodded, and then asked curiously: "Is the food in the dining hall so good now? Even spiritual rice and fire grass are in unlimited supply."
"I am the master, and the breakfast prepared for me in the dining hall will never be the same as that prepared for others."
"Oh yes, the leader should have some privileges. I didn't know how to enjoy it at that time, haha." Shen Qingmang sat down at the table, picked up the spoon and drank the porridge.
Gu Suihan sat across from her, watching her eat intently. She ate quietly for a moment, then said in a relaxed tone, "Is the Taichu Sect still in danger? Didn't Li Shutong...Yang Zhidu leave?"
"She disappeared after you left. Some people, based on the letters she left behind, say she was inspired by heaven and ascended directly."
"Haha, she really knows how to flatter herself. She clearly achieved a key plot point and successfully returned to her original world."
She originally thought that the key to the plot was Qiongju jumping off the cliff, but she didn't expect it to be a deeper core, that is, Qiongju sacrificed herself to save the sect, so even if she didn't jump off the cliff, and chose to cut bones and flesh to slowly release the spiritual energy, it also met the conditions for the plot to get back on track.
Gu Sui Han didn't say anything.
Shen Qingmang took a bite of a steamed dumpling and said, "Now that she's gone, does the Taichu Sect still have any enemies?"
"All the major sects are struggling to solve the problem of spiritual energy shortage. They are busy with their own affairs and naturally dare not offend Taichu."
"Well, without the Fangyuan Sect leading the charge, they have no legitimate reason to be wary of us." Shen Qingmang said gently, "Then, if that's the case, there's no need to impose restrictions on my bedroom, preventing me from entering and leaving as I please, right? There's no danger outside."
Gu Suihan's voice was even gentler than hers. "Having said that, Master is not from our world after all. He might encounter additional dangers. I am truly worried."
"Those who stirred up trouble have gone back home. What crisis can I face? It's really nothing, Sui Han. Don't worry, I will never leave you again." Shen Qingmang vowed.
"Master, do you feel that the space in the hall is cramped? I have prepared a surprise for you, you will like it." Gu Sui Han walked to the bookshelf and stroked the blue spine of one of the books with his fingers. Shen Qingmang found that this book looked out of place on the bookshelf. The other books were basically bound in folding or butterfly binding, and only this book was bound in the paperback style of modern books. This kind of book had only appeared in her spiritual palace.
As Gu Sui Han pulled out the book, the scene in front of her changed instantly. It was no longer an ancient palace, but a modern villa, exactly the same as the house in her previous spiritual palace.
"Wow..." Shen Qingmang exclaimed in amazement: "This, this, this... you are amazing! How did you build this?"
Everything else is easy. Modern homes are inseparable from household appliances. As a liberal arts student, Shen Qingmang has no way of designing complex electrical appliances. The spiritual power monitor is already the limit of her imagination.
But when she approached the refrigerator, opened it, and felt the cool air rushing towards her, she turned on the TV and saw a familiar program. Everything seemed to be in the modern era.
"Constructing these in the Spiritual Palace only requires consciousness, but moving them into reality... is that too difficult?" Shen Qingmang looked at each one, exclaiming in admiration. Gu Suihan followed behind her and asked, "Master, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Couldn't be more satisfied!" Shen Qingmang turned and hugged him. "You're so thoughtful. I didn't expect it to be restored so perfectly. It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
"Thinking that Master will live here in the future, I won't feel it's hard." Gu Sui Han gently stroked the top of her head.
"So this palace holds top secrets. No wonder it can't be opened or closed at will. But if it's restored to its original state, no one will be able to detect it, right? You don't have to be too cautious. Remove the restrictions. I still want to go see Ah Rong and Ah Xin."
"It's their first day of teaching, so they must have a lot of things to do," said Gu Sui-han.
Shen Qingmang didn't take it seriously. "It's okay. If they run into any problems, I can still help. I'm not too worried about Rong. She's taught calligraphy to other students before, and she probably loves teaching. But I'm a little worried about Xin. He might not be able to teach his students."
"They are already over a hundred years old. Even if they are stupid, they should still act like a teacher. Why should Master worry about them?"
Shen Qingmang put away his smile. "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. No matter what the reason, Sui Han, I want to go out. No matter how nice this place is, I don't want to be trapped in the palace all day."
After saying that, she tried to struggle out of the other's arms, but Gu Suihan hugged her tightly, almost suffocating her.
"Master, why don't you just listen to me? Logically speaking, I'm your master now, and you shouldn't disobey me."
Shen Qingmang angrily said, "Were you this authoritarian when I was your teacher? I treat you all equally. If you are dissatisfied with any of the rules, you can always bring it up with me. If you can convince me, I will correct it. And I just talked to you for a long time, but you ignored me, didn't you?"
"Of course not. I remember every word Master said. You can repeat any of them if you want."
"And you just won't listen, right? Let go now, are you trying to suffocate me to death?"
Gu Suihan let go, and Shen Qingmang saw the expression on his face and found that he was still calm.
She became even angrier.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid? I've already told you it's safe outside and I won't leave you. What other reasons do you have to keep me trapped? Do you know I hate being locked up the most? What's the difference between what you're doing now and what An Yanxiang instigated Ah Xin to do?"
