After the banquet, everyone was full and satisfied.
Luo Yan did not suspect anything and thought it was just a reward from his wife because he had been lazy for too long and suddenly became motivated.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Luo Yan got up and continued to work.
Now he is the owner of Tiangongfang. Although he holds a high position, he has a lot of affairs to deal with. He is the busiest among the three religions.
Not to mention the customer orders, there were also various personal exchanges from within the sect from time to time, such as experience sharing, accepting disciples and holding wedding banquets, and learning about the sect's policies and guidelines... It made him miserable, and he wanted to pass it on to Shi Liuli again and again.
But thinking about how lonely and helpless his wife must be after he betrayed Penglai...he could only bear it.
Shi Liuli saw this and became more certain that her husband must be hiding something from her, otherwise he wouldn't have "suddenly changed his personality" like this.
Could it be that he has a mistress outside?
Once this thought came to mind, it was out of control.
When I first thought about it, I subconsciously felt it was ridiculous: the entire Tiangong Workshop affairs were in my hands, so what would he use to support another woman?
If he really cheats on me, I will... I will kick him out! Humph!
However, on second thought, I felt frightened and uneasy again.
What's the point of sweeping someone out of the house?
He is Elder Jingyun, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and has attainments in formations. He can easily go out and build another Tiangong Workshop.
To put it bluntly, it is Tiangongfang that needs Luo Yan now, not Luo Yan who needs Tiangongfang.
Without Luo Yan's Tiangongfang, who else could draw the formations to meet the customization requirements of many sects? I'm afraid it would become a fortune-telling sect in a matter of minutes.
Thinking of this, Shi Liuli became more worried and even put aside the sword-making work temporarily. Whenever he had time, he would run to Luo Yan's study, bring him tea and water, massage his shoulders and back, which made Luo Yan feel flattered.
This lady is so gentle and kind. Maybe I have been doing too much work recently, which is out of character, so he has noticed that I am leaving?
There is no time to lose, we have to cover it up quickly and not let any complications arise at the last minute!
So he put his feet on the desk and said lazily:
"I've been designing formations for the whole day. I'm so tired! Come, Lady Liuli, take off my boots for me."
Shi Liuli's eyelids were twitching.
Under normal circumstances, she only needed to look at Luo Yan with a forced smile, and her husband would behave himself.
But now she was lacking confidence, so she could only swallow her anger silently and take off Luo Yan's boots.
"My lady, you are so nice. Why don't you wash my feet for me?" Luo Yan said with a smile.
Shi Liuli had no expression on his face. He just went to the side to get a basin, stretched out his finger and pointed, and water from the Milky Way kept pouring out from his sleeves and falling into the basin.
Luo Yan immersed his feet in the basin and felt a chill running through his bones and heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Ma'am, it's cold! It's cold!"
Shi Liuli smiled secretly in his heart and cast some magic in his hands. Rays of starlight fell and the water temperature rose back to a warm level.
Luo Yan's expression relaxed, and he soaked his feet comfortably for a while. Then he held Shi Liuli in his arms, hugged and kissed her, which made Shi Liuli feel a little more at ease.
After a few more days, it was finally the day for the Wanxiang Immortal to leave the sect.
Luo Yan put down the work at hand and just left the study when he ran into Shi Liuli who was about to come over.
"Where are you going, husband?" Shi Liuli asked.
"Go check the sect's protective formation." Luo Yan brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago.
The sect protection formation... Shi Liuli pondered for a moment.
Currently, the person who is most proficient in the art of formations in Penglai Yuqing Temple is Luo Yan, so the sect's protective formation has always been maintained by him.
But when Shi Liuli recalled carefully, she found that Luo Yan usually went for inspection between the 10th and 15th of every month, and today was the seventh day, which could be said to be much earlier than usual.
If it is said that my husband knows the importance of the sect protection formation and deliberately went to maintain it a few days in advance, it is not impossible to explain... He hasn't even completely taken over the affairs of the Tiangong Workshop, but he has time to care about the sect, right?
The more Shi Liuli thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. With a thought in his mind, he smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, I have never seen a sect protection formation. Why don't I go with my husband and gain some experience?"
This reason is really too poor. After all, when have you, Miss Shi, ever been interested in battle formations?
The lady must be suspicious!
Luo Yan wanted to refuse again, but when he thought of An Zhisu before, he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.
It will be exposed sooner or later, so it’s better to suffer a short pain than a long one!
It would be a foolish dream to hide the secret from a smart girl like Liuli from the beginning to the end. It would be better to explain everything to her after getting the Bu Tian Stone, and then delete the account.
With the precedents of Long Hu, Xu Yinglian and An Zhisu, Luo Yan's psychological bottom line had been greatly lowered at this time.
As the saying goes, the more you experience, the more numb you become. That's just how it is.
"Then please come with me, my lady." He said rather sadly.
When Shi Liuli saw that he agreed so readily, she was stunned at first, then she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she became a little uneasy again.
The two left Tiangong Workshop and walked towards the residence of the Wanxiang Immortal.
"Husband." Shi Liuli felt more and more uneasy, and subconsciously found a topic to talk about. "Do you think I am too suspicious sometimes?"
"My wife is very smart." Luo Yan said lightly, "But smart people tend to think too much, which is normal."
"I think that thinking too much is not a bad thing. What is more troublesome is actually being nosy."
"Yeah." Shi Liuli certainly knew what "thinking too much" and "being nosy" meant, and responded sullenly.
After walking for a while, Shi Liuli suddenly asked:
"Husband, the sect protection formation... is it in this direction?"
"No." Luo Yan said calmly, "I'm going to the immortal's residence to get some information."
"Oh." Shi Liuli naturally knew nothing about this and could only nod in agreement.
Arriving at the residence of the Wanxiang Immortal, I heard Shi Liuli suddenly say:
"It seems that the immortal left the sect early this morning."
"Maybe he has something important to do." Luo Yan said casually.
"The headmaster invited several immortals to come here." Shi Liuli continued, "It is estimated that the immortals may not return for a while, so they have to invite the immortals to take charge."
"Hmm." Luo Yan responded absentmindedly and continued to scan the coordinates of the location where the Wanxiang Immortal had opened the space before.
Oh, found it.
"My husband, are you teasing me?" Shi Liuli asked in a low voice, "If you want to get the information, why are you standing here motionless?"
"Husband...are you using your spiritual sense to explore something? Can you tell me about it?"
Luo Yan was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly said with a smile:
"Liuli, you are still so sharp."
"You're crazy!" Shi Liuli was so shocked that his eyes went dark. He said quickly, "How dare you covet the immortal's things!"
"Let's run away quickly before the immortal finds you!"
"What if I say that the reason I joined Penglai Yuqing Temple was because of this thing?" Luo Yan said expressionlessly.
