"It's done! Ouch!"
A golden light shone from Hao Xin's body. Si Rong was so excited that she danced with joy and fell directly from the wall. Shen Qingmang didn't react in time and didn't have time to catch her.
But the child was fine after falling to the ground. She got up and jumped into Hao Xin's arms. The other party brushed the dust off her body with a look of disgust, and was almost suffocated by her warm hug.
Shen Qingmang jumped down, walked quickly to Gu Suihan, and held his arm. "Thank you for your hard work, Suihan, are you okay?"
She was very tired after completing the formation, and her eldest disciple had just established his foundation, so he must have consumed even more energy.
"I'm fine."
Although he said this, Gu Suihan leaned his body against Shen Qingmang honestly, and his breathing was a little heavy.
"Hold on to your master's neck." Shen Qingmang said.
"What?" Gu Sui Han was stunned.
Seeing that he was dumbfounded, she took matters into her own hands, holding his armpits with one hand and hooking his knees with the other, and lifted Gu Suihan up like a princess. She thought Gu Suihan would be heavier, but he didn't find it difficult at all. She didn't know whether it was because of her good physique or because he was too thin.
"Master?"
The three disciples were all confused.
Gu Sui Han wanted to break free, but he was indeed a little exhausted from casting the formation. He was just holding on. Shen Qingmang tightened her arms, and he could not escape. He could only hug her neck as she said.
Si Rong was so surprised that an egg could fit in his mouth. He heard his master say in a calm tone, "Your eldest brother is a little weak. I will take him to rest. Ah Xin, I will bring your gift to you later."
"Thank you very much, Master. Thank you also, Senior Brother." Hao Xin nodded blankly.
The two watched their master and eldest senior brother leave. After a while, Si Rong suddenly rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Junior brother, hug my neck too. I'll try to lift you up."
"Don't come over here!" Hao Xin quickly stepped back. "I don't want to!"
Shen Qingmang put Gu Suihan back on the couch, covered him with the quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt. Gu Suihan coughed twice, clutching the top of the quilt, his face still red. "Master, you... I..."
"Are you shy?" Shen Qingmang looked at him curiously, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek. "What's the matter? Are your legs weak? Let me help you."
"But my fellow apprentices are all here..."
"So what?" Shen Qingmang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't you hug me like this before? They saw it too."
"It's been so long, Master, why are you like this..." Gu Sui Han shrank his face into the quilt.
Shen Qingmang's face was calm. The incident when she used the Cloud Stepping Technique and fell into the arms of her eldest disciple had not yet been forgotten. The dignity of the teacher was paramount, and she would get back at him no matter what.
"Don't bore yourself." She pushed the quilt down, revealing Gu Suihan's full face. "Have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore."
Gu Suihan watched Shen Qingmang leave, sat up from the couch, and put his hands to his face, trying to dispel the heat on his face.
Master has always been a gentleman, so how could he... deliberately tease others?
Is it because he has consumed too much spiritual energy and is hallucinating?
His thoughts were a little confused. He tried to hold on for a while, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep leaning against the wall.
"Big Brother? Is Big Brother home?"
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sui Han was awakened by Si Rong's voice. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm here."
Before he could tidy his clothes and get off the bed, Si Rong and Hao Xin walked in, both with smiles on their faces.
"Big Brother, have you rested well? Let's have dinner together?"
"No need, I..." Gu Sui Han refused subconsciously, but was interrupted by Si Rong before he could finish his words.
"Master said you can't fast anymore. Relying on spiritual energy to nourish your body won't do the trick. You need to eat more. If you don't obey, I'll tell Master."
Gu Suihan frowned. Si Rong grabbed Hao Xin's sleeve to cover half of his body and said, "The food is already on the stone table in the yard. There are three servings. Come eat together, senior brother."
Hao Xin also spoke up, "Brother, you've expended so much spiritual energy on me, you should replenish it. Today's meal is a combination of meat and vegetables, and it's quite sumptuous. Si Rong, that stingy fellow, has never prepared so much except for entertaining our Master."
"Is Master coming too?" Gu Sui Han asked.
Si Rong shook his head. "Master gave Axin a gift and left, saying we'd already booked dinner this month and would meet again next month. Oh, and by the way, Senior Brother, we've got a gift for you too!"
Si Rong took out a large oil-paper bag from the Qiankun bag at his waist, which exuded the fragrance of grass and trees.
"There are many packages of spiritual herbs in here, with all five elements. The small packages can be used to make tea, and the large packages can be used to soak feet. I'll give them all to my brother."
Gu Suihan felt the veins in his forehead throbbing. This foolish junior sister really didn't surprise him at all. The gift... was she asking him to drink foot bath water?
"I told you that Senior Brother wouldn't like those flowers and plants of yours," Hao Xin said, pulling out a booklet from his pocket. "Senior Brother, this is the Taichu Out-of-Print Weapon Catalog I collected. It's the only one of its kind on the Five Peaks, and the description is very detailed."
Si Rong was equally unconvinced. "What's the point of introducing those junk? The spiritual herb tea is fragrant, and drinking it will make you feel better!"
"Hehe, you don't understand us men." Hao Xin walked forward and stuffed the weapon list into Gu Sui Han's hand.
Gu Suihan's first reaction was to throw the booklet away, but Hao Xin's sparkling eyes made him hesitate for a moment. He unconsciously relaxed his grip and shook the booklet open, revealing the inner pages. The handwriting inside was childish, but the illustrations were exquisite. He gently reached out and stroked them, discovering that they were indeed handwritten.
