"Do you think I'm particularly tolerant towards you just because I've never scolded you? That's because you haven't touched my bottom line. I've spoiled you so much that you don't know the difference between superiors and inferiors. Do you think you can manipulate the teacher at will?" Shen Qingmang said angrily.
Seeing the anger staining her cheeks, Gu Suihan smiled. "You're even more beautiful like this, not like ice, but like a raging fire."
Shen Qingmang felt his blood pressure rising rapidly. "So you're deliberately trying to piss me off, right? You're actually quite pleased to see me angry? You traitor...!"
Before she could finish her words, she was picked up by the other party, with her feet dangling in the air, and she quickly held onto his shoulders.
"Master said I was a traitor, so a disciple shouldn't let Master down. I must prove my disobedience."
The smile on Gu Suihan's face was like a red spider lily in the dark night, which frightened Shen Qingmang. He put his hand on his chest. "Don't come over here."
"Master, wasn't you so righteous just now? You can be afraid too?" He said as he shook her with his hand. Shen Qingmang almost swore a curse word and glared at him angrily, only to find that the other's eyes were slightly red.
Something is wrong... She forced herself to calm down, but her emotions were a little out of control.
This "Spring Leak Short" is really not a good wine. As long as there is a trace of instability in the mood, it will be infinitely magnified. She shouldn't have been so impulsive.
The same goes for Gu Suihan. Maybe what he said was not what he really meant at all, he just lost control for a moment.
Yes, it’s all because of the out-of-control emotions. As long as the alcohol wears off, everything will return to normal.
Shen Qingmang kept comforting himself. When the other person's breath got closer and closer, he put his right index finger and middle finger together and quickly tapped the other person's eyebrows.
Gu Sui Han was caught off guard, his expression blank for a moment, then he closed his eyes and fell backwards. Shen Qingmang put his hand behind his head and fell to the ground with him.
"Damn, I was so drunk that I forgot I could summon clouds." Shen Qingmang climbed down from Gu Suihan in a panic, and quickly gathered a cloud with the help of the thick humidity at night. He lifted up his lying eldest disciple and quickly rushed back to Liupingyuan where they were temporarily staying.
Si Rong and Hao Xin were probably asleep, and the courtyard was very quiet. Shen Qingmang looked around guiltily, controlling the clouds to transport Gu Sui Han directly to the east wing. Recalling his performance tonight, he almost wanted to throw him from mid-air onto the bed, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he slowly dispersed the clouds and let him lie back down safely.
Then she returned to the main room with a sad face, sat cross-legged on the couch, and repeatedly inhaled and exhaled Qi until the alcohol in her body was completely dissipated. Only then did she fall exhausted on the couch and fell into a very uneasily sleep.
The next morning, Shen Qingmang rushed straight into Jinghua Palace and roughly pulled aside the crystal curtains. Seeing Su Miaoran, he said coldly, "Qiongju, you only know today that this is how Chaohua Palace treats guests."
Su Miaoran smiled and said, "Why is Qingmang so angry? I happened to have some chrysanthemum tea this morning to clear away heat and reduce internal heat. Let's have a cup."
"Qiongju is probably not lucky enough to enjoy it. Who knows what was added to the tea this time?"
"Oh, so that's why." Su Miaoran traced her lower lip with her slender fingers. "It seems...something unexpected happened last night. Were those two youngsters not to Qingmang's liking? I thought you'd like Qingxiao."
Shen Qingmang was furious when she brought this up. After waking up this morning, she carefully reviewed what had happened last night and realized that both Su Miaoran and the two young men had hinted at something in their words. Qingxiao's profile looked a bit like Gu Suihan; standing next to them, one could tell the difference between a fish eye and a pearl.
"You deliberately arranged for them to lead me on a journey, hoping to get me entangled with the people from your Chaohua Palace? What benefits will the Palace Master gain by doing this? Do you have leverage to threaten me?"
Su Miaoran bowed to Shen Qingmang. "I apologize, Qingmang, for my poor hospitality, but perhaps you misunderstood. I didn't deliberately arrange for Mingzhuo and Qingxiao to meet you. They admired Master Qiongju and came to me on their own initiative. I simply allowed them to guide you, thinking that if a happy marriage could be formed, that would be the best. If not, they would understand and at least not upset you. It seems I trusted them too much."
"It has nothing to do with them." Shen Qingmang felt even more troubled when he thought about whether they might misunderstand his initiative to share the wine with them and think he had ulterior motives. "I should apologize to them."
"So what happened? I saw Qingmang drinking several cups yesterday and still chatting and laughing as usual. I thought this wine had no effect on you, so I didn't mention its effects deliberately."
Shen Qingmang's expression remained tense. "Even if I hadn't been poisoned, you shouldn't have served this kind of wine to our guests."
Su Miaoran lowered her eyes and said, "Miaoran was not thoughtful enough. I hope Qingmang will not blame me. If there are any unforeseen consequences, Miaoran can help to clean up the mess."
"I am only here to condemn the Palace Master's behavior. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you, so please do not worry about it. After Senior Sister gets married, the four of us will leave immediately and will not cause any more trouble for you."
With that, she turned and left, and Su Miaoran hurriedly chased after her out of the palace. "Qingmang... Master Qiongju, please stay! It's understandable that you don't believe Miaoran, but Chaohua Palace is the most expert in relationships. If you were to encounter any emotional confusion or trouble, it would be easiest to find a solution here. Would you really not consider staying a little longer? Perhaps these difficulties would be easily resolved."
Shen Qingmang's eyes moved slightly, and he remembered what Gu Suihan said yesterday.
To be honest, she didn't believe he liked her. Perhaps the child had lacked family care since childhood, and after becoming her disciple, he felt her care and was grateful, and developed a sense of admiration. He might be confusing the boundaries between family and love now, but one day he would wake up.
But this day... the sooner the better, otherwise it would be awkward for the master and the apprentice to get along. After she settled Gu Suihan last night, she briefly considered erasing his memory, but she felt that was a last resort.
If he could stay in Chaohua Palace for some time, it would help him realize his true feelings more quickly, which would be a good thing and a permanent solution.
But is Chaohua Palace still trustworthy?
"Don't worry, Palace Master. Qiongju will make all the arrangements."
Su Miaoran made a swearing gesture. "Miaoran will never lie to you again or hide anything from you. Otherwise, I will never be able to see the truth and die with hatred."
"That's not necessary..."
"Don't make vows carelessly, as this will only increase your karma."
Shen Qingmang's voice and a male voice sounded together. She looked outside in surprise and saw a handsome young man with loose black hair, holding a rosary and wearing a white robe standing at the door. Feeling her gaze, he put his hands together and saluted her.
"Master Qiongju."
"Buddha...son of Buddha?"
