One day...
"Sister Gan Yu!" Gan Yu, who was busy at work, was slightly taken aback when she heard the familiar voice, but a doting smile immediately appeared on her face.
Looking up, sure enough, that familiar figure appeared at the doorway again.
"Xiao Mu, what brings you here today?"
“Sister Gan Yu, the master said that tomorrow is a holiday, so I have time to spend with you again!” Jiang Mu was not embarrassed when he realized that he had been discovered. He simply found a stool and sat down next to Gan Yu.
"Silly child." Gan Yu smiled and patted his head.
"Instead of wasting time, why not go out and explore with people your own age? What's the point of just keeping me company?"
"In my opinion," Jiang Mu said confidently, "it's much more fun going out with Sister Gan Yu than playing with them..."
"You..." Gan Yu said helplessly, "Every time I go out, it's on official business..."
"Let's talk about it after we finish our official duties," Jiang Mu said with a grin. "Besides, even though I say that, Sister Gan Yu always seems to have a lot of fun!"
"Ahem..." Gan Yu turned her head away somewhat awkwardly...
“However…” Jiang Mu grinned.
"I actually quite like Gan Yu's ordinary self. Although she's perfect in her everyday life, she's a bit too rigid. She's cuter when she's relaxed, just like an ordinary girl."
"I see..."
Gan Yu was slightly lost in thought.
"However, I can understand it."
Jiang Mu smiled.
"After all, as the secretary of the Seven Stars, Sister Gan Yu naturally needs to maintain a certain level of authority."
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Gan Yu said gently, waving her hand.
"Tomorrow, I'm going back to Lord Liuyun Jiefeng's place. Do you want to come with me?"
"Great!" Jiang Mu exclaimed excitedly, "I also want to meet Sister Gan Yu's fairy friends..."
"No, that's not it," Gan Yu gently corrected. "The Cloud-Leaving Wind True Lord and the others are all my masters."
"Uh..." Jiang Mu was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and chuckling...
"Mu'er." A dignified voice sounded from behind Jiang Mu, who quickly turned around and said respectfully.
"Father."
The newcomer was none other than the fifth generation of Tianquan, Jiang Mu's father. He looked at Gan Yu's smiling face and shook his head helplessly.
"Mu'er, why are you bothering your sister Gan Yu again..."
"I just came to chat with my sister Gan Yu!"
Jiang Muyi said righteously.
"It's alright, Lord Tianquan," Gan Yu said gently with a smile. "I'm quite bored here, so it's nice to have Xiao Mu keep me company."
"Sigh..." The fifth generation of Tianquan sighed helplessly.
"You spoil him too much..."
"By the way," Gan Yu changed the subject.
"Xiao Mu has a day off tomorrow, and I'm going back to Hulao Mountain anyway, so I'll take him with me."
“This…” The Fifth Generation Tianquan Star frowned, “The immortals prefer tranquility, and Mu’er…”
“It’s alright…” Gan Yu shook her head, “Xiao Mu is such a well-behaved person, the immortals won’t reject him.”
"Well... alright." The fifth-generation Tianquan knew he couldn't win an argument with Gan Yu, so he could only glare at his son before turning around and storming off.
"Hehe..." Jiang Mu looked at Gan Yu and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, Sister Gan Yu."
"It's nothing," Gan Yu said gently with a smile. "By the way, you can sleep at my place tonight. I clean your room every day. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Sister Gan Yu!" Jiang Mu said excitedly, then sighed with emotion.
"I wonder who will be so lucky to have a virtuous girl like Sister Gan Yu in the future. Sigh—"
"You bastard, are you asking for a beating?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu frowned slightly and made a move as if to strike.
"Hehe..." Jiang Mu made a face and then slipped out the door.
"Really..." Gan Yu murmured, touching her flushed and burning cheek.
"You're not a child anymore, so why do you still act like one... When will you ever grow up..."
That evening, after having dinner at the Liuli Pavilion, the two returned to Gan Yu's room. After saying goodnight to each other, they went to their respective rooms to rest.
Nothing more was said that night...
Early the next morning, Gan Yu woke up Jiang Mu from his sleep. After purchasing some delicacies as gifts for Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, the two headed to the location of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's grotto—Hu Lao Mountain.
………………
"Gan Yu, you've come..."
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun sensed Gan Yu's presence and personally came to the foot of the mountain, but upon seeing Jiang Mu, he asked in confusion.
Who is this?
"True...True Lord." Looking at this immortal who resembled her mother, Gan Yu stammered for some reason.
“This…this is the son of Tianquan, Jiang Mu.”
"Oh, so he's the little guy you raised, right?"
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun came to Jiang Mu's side, and seeing the latter's somewhat reserved appearance, smiled and said.
"Don't be shy. Feel at home here, just relax."
"Greetings, Lord Liu...Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun."
Jiang Mu immediately lowered his head, speaking with trepidation.
"Xiaomu." Gan Yu smiled.
"The True Lord is a kind person, you don't need to be so nervous."
As she spoke, she took Jiang Mu's hand.
"Let's go, come with me to see the True Lord's cave."
Seeing Gan Yu's actions, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's eyes sharpened, but when he spoke, he had a completely different expression.
"No need for such trouble, I will use my magic to send you up."
As he spoke, the crane spread its wings, and the three of them arrived at the top of Mount Hulao in the blink of an eye.
"How amazing!" Jiang Mu exclaimed.
“Jiang Mu.” Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at him and said calmly.
"Don't move here. I have something to say to Gan Yu."
After saying that, he looked at Gan Yu again.
"Gan Yu, come with me."
Before Gan Yu could react, the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng spread his wings and flew away.
"What's wrong with True Lord Liuyun?" Gan Yu asked Jiang Mu, somewhat puzzled by True Lord Liuyun's perplexing behavior.
"Xiao Mu, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
With that, Gan Yu patted Jiang Mu's head and then followed Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun away.
………………
When Gan Yu reached the mountaintop, the True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng had been waiting for her there for quite some time.
"True Lord, what are you doing...?"
Gan Yu was somewhat puzzled; the way Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun was acting today was indeed a bit strange...
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun did not answer immediately, but just kept staring at her. Only after Gan Yu awkwardly looked away did he slowly speak.
"Gan Yu, your Dao heart is wavering."
"What?"
Gan Yu didn't understand.
"In other words," said the True Lord Liuyun, who sighed deeply.
"You've fallen for worldly desires."
