After returning from the sea of flowers, the few people had different expressions. As soon as Su Miaoran left, Qi Xiao came out of the house and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"We went to the cemetery of Chaohua Palace." Shen Qingmang said.
"Outsiders are allowed to set foot in such a solemn place? There are too few rules in Chaohua Palace, right?" Qi Xiao was surprised.
Si Rong retorted, "It's not solemn, it's very beautiful, there are flowers and plants everywhere, and I even saw my mother!"
"Is your mother from the Chaohua Palace? No wonder Yiqing was so secretive about his relationship. He's probably worried that we might steal his partner... No, isn't your mother dead? Yiqing told us after getting drunk that she left him and ran away."
"That was a lie, but he actually believed it." Shen Qingmang said in a deep voice.
Si Rong grabbed her sleeve and whispered, "Should we tell Daddy when we get home? Mommy doesn't want Daddy to know, but I think he should know. Mommy must also hope that Daddy can come and see her."
"Of course I have to tell him." Shen Qingmang said, "He must know the truth, otherwise your mother will always be misunderstood as a heartless person."
Qi Xiao looked at this and that and asked, "What happened? How did your mother die? Was it because of you?"
"Alright, Second Senior Brother, stop asking. Third Senior Sister is getting married tomorrow. You should quickly think about your congratulatory speech and stop chatting away."
Shen Qingmang pushed Qi Xiao back to his room. Qi Xiao turned around and yelled, "Aren't you supposed to read the speech? I don't want to speak in front of so many people!"
"That's your own sister!"
"That's also your senior sister!"
The three disciples silently watched the two elders playfully disappear from their sight. Hao Xin took out a piece of peach blossom candy. "Don't be sad, here you go."
"Thank you, I'm much better." Si Rong smiled at him.
"Why do I have a bad feeling? I always feel that Master will take us to that...love trial platform. Didn't you see that her eyes were shining when she asked about it?" Hao Xin shrank his neck.
"I think so too..." Si Rong nodded.
"Don't think about the future for now." Gu Suihan said, "After she takes care of Second Uncle, she will come back and ask us how we felt just now."
Si Rong quickly jumped up and covered Gu Suihan's mouth. "Big Brother, stop talking! You're more likely to..."
"What are you three doing?" Shen Qingmang came out from the west wing with a gentle expression on his face.
The three apprentices stood in a row. "Nothing."
"I just went to the cemetery and heard several stories. Do you have any thoughts?"
Si Rong and Hao Xin looked at Gu Sui Han sadly, and Gu Sui Han shrugged.
What is going to happen will happen, what does it have to do with him?
Shen Qingmang noticed his movements. "Huh? What happened to Sui Han? You tell me first?"
"I...apprentice, I don't have any ideas."
"How could there not be?" Shen Qingmang walked up to him and looked up at him. "You've reached the age where love is beginning to stir. Even cultivators of your age in Chaohua Palace are beginning to experience love. I heard that some in the outer sect are also beginning to fall in love. Don't you have any thoughts at all?"
Gu Suihan curled his lips. "Then what does Master want me to say?"
"Why do I feel like the atmosphere is wrong..." Si Rong said in Hao Xin's ear.
Hao Xin pulled her back a step.
Shen Qingmang's expression grew increasingly tense, then he suddenly smiled. "Then let's talk about the story of the mentor-disciple relationship. I see that's what you're most interested in."
Admit your mistake immediately and the teacher will not pursue your unreasonable thoughts.
Gu Sui Han was silent for a while, then leaned forward slightly, almost face to face with Shen Qingmang, his breath as fragrant as orchid.
"Master, you don't really think I don't remember anything, do you?"
Shen Qingmang took a step back, creating some distance. "Sui Han, you..."
Something was wrong. Did she use the magic incorrectly? But he clearly couldn't remember anything that morning. The ten-year deadline was still a long time away. Unless he was suddenly stimulated by something... Wait, stimulated?
Gu Suihan observed her expression without blinking, and saw that she looked annoyed. "What did I say that irritated you?"
Gu Suihan whispered softly, word by word, "If any other feelings arise between a master and a disciple, it would be absurd."
"You two go back first. Your senior brother and I have something to discuss privately." Shen Qingmang turned and said to Si Rong and Hao Xin.
Si Rong nodded repeatedly. "Okay, Master, let's go..."
"Go back and write a 500-word review. Give it to me this afternoon."
"Woo..." Si Rong's unfinished words turned into a sob, and Hao Xin pulled her. "Alright, alright, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Soon, Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan were the only two people left in the yard. Shen Qingmang's thoughts were in a mess and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Suihan spoke first: "Master, do you want me to admit my mistake? Admit that this relationship is absurd and should not have happened."
"It's not that I shouldn't, it's just..." Shen Qingmang rubbed his brow. "Sui Han, you've never truly loved anyone. You might have made a mistake. Like I said before, you mistook admiration for love."
"My age in both of my past lives combined isn't that young, is it? Master, there's no need to treat me like them." Gu Suihan pointed towards the wing. "They just listen to you. Do they think I'm the same?"
"Okay, now you are not pretending at all." Shen Qingmang was annoyed by his behavior.
Gu Suihan's voice softened. "Disciple has no intention of disobeying Master. Disciple is willing to obey Master in everything, except this one point. Disciple will never withdraw his love for Master."
"Are you going to fight to the death with me?"
"Why is Master so agitated?" Gu Suihan asked, "Is it because my disciple's feelings have offended your dignity as a teacher? Or is it because Master is afraid of his disciple?"
"Why would I be afraid of you?" Shen Qingmang sneered. "What else do you dare to do to me?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare to do that. I was drunk that day and said something offensive to Master. Please don't blame me, Master."
"What offense..." Shen Qingmang recalled and his face gradually turned red.
She suddenly turned around and walked towards the main room, saying "You should reflect on yourself carefully" and went into the house.
Gu Suihan stood alone in the middle of Liuping Courtyard, watching the wooden door of the main house close heavily in front of him, raising a cloud of dust. He covered his mouth to prevent his laughter from leaking out, which would make her even more embarrassed and angry.
His good master always likes to take charge of everything, thinking that everything is under her control.
So the only way to get her attention is to create chaos.
Before, he had always been what she called a good boy, the most stable student, the most reliable apprentice. But what happened? She praised him for being sensible while turning her attention to his fellow apprentices, as if they were the only ones who needed her attention.
Did she think all he wanted was praise?
