Lingxian Palace, main entrance.
"Senior sister, you're back! Shiyao missed you so much!"
Ye Qinghan smiled and hugged the soft Li Shiyao tightly. He had to admit that even as a woman, he would be addicted to the feel of her.
"Shiyao, your senior sister misses you too!"
"Senior Sister, Jue'er wants a hug too!"
Ye Qinghan smiled and hugged the not-so-soft Dongfang Jue in return. He had to admit, the feel was similar to his master's... it was just a pity she was a woman...
After the three disciples spent some time getting to know each other, Li Shiyao took her senior sister back.
"Senior sister, have you become a Valkyrie?"
"What Valkyrie?"
"Master said you went to take the Valkyrie exam! He said it was something called sudden fire."
"Yes, that's true, but she didn't become a Valkyrie."
Ye Qinghan was speaking without thinking, but he had already guessed that his master definitely hadn't told Li Shiyao and Dongfang Jue what quenching was.
"Huh? Master also said that Senior Sister will definitely pass the exam!"
Ye Qinghan seemed to be thinking: "Is that so?"
"Well, actually Shiyao misunderstood that Master had driven away her senior sister, so she went to argue with Master."
"Fortunately, Master did not blame Shi Yao, saying that Senior Sister will definitely come back, in a month and a half at most."
Ye Qinghan nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that Xiao Ai had not lied to her after all, and then smiled.
"Shiyao, you even went to argue with Master because of your senior sister?"
"Yes! Senior sister, you don't know, Shiyao thought you had been expelled from the sect by the master, and Shiyao was so worried!"
"Hehe, your senior sister is back now. Since you were so worried about me, I'll give you that pair of stockings!"
Li Shiyao looked on in disbelief!
"Is it that black one? The one that Shiyao begged her senior sister for so long, but she wouldn't lend it to her?"
Ye Qinghan couldn't stop laughing, while Li Shiyao's expression was as if those stockings were some priceless treasure...
"Okay, it's yours!"
"Really? Senior sister! You're so good to Shiyao! Shiyao likes you, senior sister!"
Dongfang Jue pushed Li Shiyao aside and joined in!
"Senior Sister, Jue'er went too! Jue'er was also very worried about you!"
"Oh, how about your senior sister gives you two hundred taels of gold?"
Dongfang Jue: ? ? ? How come my senior sister has lace suspender stockings, but she gets two hundred taels of gold?
Another instance of sect bullying?
Dongfang Jue believes that apart from having small breasts, she is perfect in every other way, okay?
"Senior sisters, are you isolating Jue'er?"
The three disciples entered, chatting and laughing, and Ye Qinghan shouted.
"Master! Qinghan is back! Qinghan passed the exam!"
Su Cheng was drinking tea: "I know, why are you making such a fuss over such a trivial matter! There's food left for you in the kitchen!"
【Oh dear! As expected, Qinghan, you haven't disappointed your teacher!】
[I told you Qinghan could do it! He lost the bet to Xiao Ai last time, but he's finally won it back this time!]
The mind-reading skill was very convenient. Upon hearing his proud master's thoughts, all of Ye Qinghan's unhappiness vanished in an instant.
But what is a bet?
Ye Qinghan suddenly remembered the night he was captured. It turned out that his master had made a bet with Xiao Ai about whether she would climb out of the window to find him...
So this time...
Master trusts Qinghan, so how could Qinghan let Master lose?
Thinking of this, Ye Qinghan couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that all of this was worth it.
"Do you have stir-fried sliced meat or chunks of meat, Master?"
"Yes, I made it especially for you."
"Hey? Shiyao, why is there only half a bowl of food? Did you steal the food that Master left for me?!"
"Shiyao didn't! It was Sister Heguang who came to steal some!"
"Shiyao, Heguang has been with me the whole time. Heguang is the one who brought me back! You're still trying to deny it!"
Su Cheng smiled, then picked up his teacup and teapot and went back to his room.
It seems that only with such noise and commotion can Lingxian Palace be truly lively.
In fact, Su Cheng's only worry was that Ye Qinghan would be like a completely different person when he came back.
Perhaps he became taciturn, or perhaps he became less close to her.
Fortunately, Ye Qinghan was as usual, which was really great.
At night, I heard what sounded like someone opening the window...
"Master, why aren't you asleep so late?"
Ye Qinghan walked around to Su Cheng's back, placed her jade-like hands on his shoulders as if she wanted to absorb Su Cheng's yang energy, and leaned against Su Cheng's side, leaning on the armrest of the chair.
"I'm waiting for you."
Just like I remember, Master would always say that.
"Did Xiao Ai guess that Qing Han would come today?"
"I knew Qinghan would come even without her."
"Hehe, Master is so clever~"
After signing and stamping the last black document, Su Cheng's work for the day was finished.
"Master? What is this? The Iron Pot Project?"
Su Cheng presented the black-covered document to Ye Qinghan. Ye Qinghan now had the same access to information as Lord Gu Ai.
In other words, Ye Qinghan at this moment, like Xiao Ai, is truly one of their own.
However, this does not mean that Shi Yao and Yu Lan are outsiders. Su Cheng will also protect Yu Lan and Shi Yao.
On the contrary, the difference is that if a crisis really comes, Ye Qinghan can die together with his master.
Su Cheng would prioritize letting Shi Yao or Yu Lan leave first, while he would cover their retreat.
Perhaps only a fool would choose to stay and die together, but after realizing this, Ye Qinghan only felt honored and that it was worthwhile.
