Shen Qingmang looked indifferent, but she didn't expect that what Gu Suihan said about sleeping together was really just sleeping. He hugged her waist and fell asleep. She listened to his breathing and looked at the ceiling with her eyes open.
How could she compensate him?
She understood Gu Suihan's resentment towards her and didn't mind him taking revenge on her, but she couldn't stand his way of doing things. He should also know that he had a psychological trauma from being imprisoned, no matter how gorgeous the cage was.
This kind of behavior of restricting personal freedom is illegal in modern times. She is a law-abiding person, so naturally she does not want her apprentice to become a lawbreaker.
She must get rid of this caged situation and dispel his idea of restricting her freedom, but she will also give him a sense of security and let him know that she will not leave again.
As Shen Qingmang thought about it, her eyelids became heavier. She was now in the Qi Refining Stage and needed sleep every day. Unlike Gu Suihan, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, her health would not be affected even if she did not sleep for a long time.
But he should also sleep well, right? She once told her disciples to respect the laws of nature and rest when it was time to rest.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the person holding her suddenly moved. Gu Suihan's breathing became heavy, and he withdrew the hand on her waist, covering his chest, arching his back, and his expression was extremely painful.
"Sui Han? Sui Han!" Shen Qingmang was startled and called out to him quickly, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Does your heart hurt?"
Hadn't the Heart of Heaven and Earth returned to his body? He should be very strong.
Gu Suihan did not respond to her, his eyes were closed. She reached out and touched his face, saying anxiously, "Suihan, wake up!"
"Master..." His voice was hoarse. "I feel so uncomfortable..."
"Where does it hurt? Tell me and I'll help you find a solution. Shall we go to Qihuangmen again?" Shen Qingmang asked.
However, Gu Suihan seemed to be talking in his sleep. He still did not open his eyes, nor did he answer her. After a while, he made an even weaker sound: "Why even in this situation... you still haven't come back..."
"I'm back, I'm right by your side. Be good, don't fall into the nightmare, open your eyes and look at me." Shen Qingmang coaxed softly.
Perhaps Gu Suihan took these words to heart, as he gradually relaxed, his body no longer curled up, and his expression gradually softened. Shen Qingmang took the initiative to hug him, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
The next morning, when Gu Suihan woke up, he found Shen Qingmang staring at him, somewhat confused. "Master..."
"Are you awake?" Shen Qingmang leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "Good morning."
Gu Suihan was stunned at first, then asked cautiously, "Do you forgive me?"
"If you set me free, I will forgive you."
Gu Suihan avoided the question. "What would Master like to eat in the morning?"
"Didn't you promise to let me go out? I'll go to the dining hall with you to eat... Well, it's not good for the two of us to eat alone, so why don't you call Haoze and Jian Qiuguang?"
"Master remembers their names clearly."
"I'm a girl now! I don't have Alzheimer's disease. Can't I even remember my name?" Shen Qingmang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Gu Suihan also laughed after hearing her words. "My fault. I'll call them together then."
"Okay. Can we go to the dining hall at Wuya Peak to eat? I miss the original taste."
Gu Suihan looked at her steadily for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Qingmang breathed a sigh of relief.
When Gu Suihan brought her to meet up with the other two disciples, he said, "Your senior sister has finally recovered today. Since we are all gathered together, let's go have breakfast together."
Shen Qingmang walked over to the two young men and heard Haoze whisper, "Did you hear clearly just now? Master said 'right'?"
"I heard it clearly. Master actually speaks so gently. I almost think he's been possessed by someone."
"Actually..." Shen Qingmang had just started talking when Gu Suihan spoke again: "I'll take you to the dining hall of Wuya Peak."
"Great!" Jian Qiuguang said excitedly, "I've heard that the dining hall at Wuya Peak cooks the most delicious food among the five peaks. I'm finally going to have a treat today."
Gu Sui Han called Yun Zai to bring them along. He wanted Shen Qingmang to walk side by side with him, but Shen Qingmang shook his head imperceptibly.
She didn't want to seem too special and bring him into disfavor.
Gu Suihan didn't insist any longer. The three of them fell behind him. Haoze looked at her, touched his face, and said, "Senior Sister, your illness..."
Jian Qiuguang tugged at his sleeve and interrupted him: "Junior brother, don't be rude."
Shen Qingmang raised an eyebrow. "It's okay. I'm already well. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a case of not adapting to the local climate."
"It's okay...it's good." Haoze's expression seemed a little regretful, and Shen Qingmang felt a little confused.
But before they could chat for a while, they arrived at the Wuya Peak dining hall. Shen Qingmang almost suspected that Gu Suihan didn't like him talking too much with other boys, so he used the fastest Cloud Stepping Technique. After all, he used to be a little jealous.
But even though she now looks like a girl, her soul is much older than theirs, and these two boys are still children in her eyes.
Shen Qingmang walked into the dining hall with a smile on his face. The four masters and apprentices found a corner to sit down. Shen Qingmang saw Ah Niu here and was about to say hello, but suddenly remembered that the other party could not recognize him now, so he just looked at him with gentle eyes for a while, and looked away before the other party noticed, and saw Gu Suihan's gloomy expression.
Haoze and Jian Qiuguang seemed to be relieved.
Hmm? Could this dark cloud of oppression be what they were used to? Just how strict was Gu Suihan when he taught them?
Everyone ordered a dish, and while waiting for it to be served, Haoze looked around. "Is this the place where Master Lingyun defeated Master Changle?"
"What do you mean by Master Lingyun defeating Master Changle? It was clearly Master Qiongju..." Jian Qiuguang's face turned pale as he spoke. "Sorry, Master, I didn't mean to do that."
Shen Qingmang thought of what he heard before going up the mountain and sighed in his heart.
Once upon a time, her name became a taboo here.
"No problem." Gu Suihan said, looking at her. She smiled at him.
Yes, it doesn’t matter. Now that she is back, the taboo will naturally be lifted.
Having said that, the two teenagers were much more well-behaved and ate their meal quietly. Anyone could sense their awkwardness.
Shen Qingmang sighed again.
Although Gu Suihan was aloof in the past, he was not so scary to people. Was it because he became the head of the sect and put on airs, or was it because of her?
She looked at him, touched the corners of her mouth with both hands, and lifted them up, suggesting Gu Sui Han to smile more.
Gu Suihan was amused by her actions, and both teenagers opened their eyes wide.
On the way back, they whispered, "Master is really different today!"
"Isn't it a ghost?"
"That's what I wanted to say just now." Shen Qingmang coughed and said, "A cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage has excellent hearing. He can even hear the sound of grass and trees sprouting. No matter how quietly you speak, he will hear you."
The two young men almost fell from the cloud.
