Miaomiao is very well-behaved. If Dongfang Jue is the most human-like disciple of Lingxian Palace, then Miaomiao is the only ordinary person in Lingxian Palace.
Miaomiao was not as aloof as the other disciples, nor did she have any special status. She used to be an ordinary, pitiful girl, and now she was an ordinary personal disciple of Lingxian Palace.
She sprang to her feet, put on a white dress, and prepared to wash up.
Last night, Su Cheng put up a truce, so Yu Lan simply went to visit Cang Jue, saying that there were still some matters to be negotiated in the Northern Region.
As for Bai Tao, who freeloads, Miao Miao hasn't seen her for a while.
After patting her face and washing up, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to wait in front of her master's door to pay her respects.
The rules of Lingxian Palace aren't many, but these are rules that no disciple can skip. Unless it's for fieldwork or seclusion, absences are not permitted. In Ye Qinghan's words, as long as you're not completely dead, you have to crawl over to pay your respects to your master...
Since becoming an apprentice over a year ago, Miaomiao has never missed a single greeting; she has long been accustomed to this routine.
Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao have been away for half a month, and during this time, Lingxian Palace has been quiet almost every day.
Miaomiao was cultivating in the courtyard, while Su Cheng set up a chair beside her and watched her cultivate.
Day after day, Miaomiao is the type who can endure loneliness and is the kind of girl who can accept a thousand years of honing her skills. Su Cheng thinks that this is why she is the strongest destined one in this timeline.
Her enemy is the entire world, so her character needs to be tempered far more than her methods. And coincidentally, Qiao Miao possesses a top-grade immortal cultivation body, hehe.
"Miaomiao, do you feel lonely?"
Miaomiao was practicing her swordsmanship according to the sword technique Li Shiyao had given her when she heard the occasional clang of a sword. Upon hearing this, Miaomiao stopped her fierce swordplay and turned around with a blank expression.
"Loneliness? This disciple is foolish and does not know if Master may speak frankly."
Su Cheng didn't even look up; not a single word of cryptic text was on his face. Su Cheng remained nestled in the rocking chair, swaying back and forth...
"Does Miaomiao know what loneliness means?"
What can those big, bright eyes see? If you were all alone, would you still look the same?
The remedy I sought for a thousand years only resulted in blood staining my weapons.
"Although Miaomiao has never been to school, she is not stupid. Of course she knows what loneliness means."
Miaomiao slowly sheathed her sword, her pretty face only frozen for a moment before she smiled and moved closer to Su Cheng, intending to talk to her master.
"Is Master lonely? Since the senior sisters aren't here, how about Miaomiao keeps Master company by playing chess?"
Playing chess?
Su Cheng paused for a moment, his gaze drifting to Miao Miao's smiling face, then taking a closer look at Miao Miao dressed in white...
"Hehe, that's true, but Miaomiao isn't allowed to cry if she loses~"
[Miaomiao is indeed the most well-behaved...]
Once a move is made, there's no going back. Miaomiao is only a teenager, so naturally she's no match for Su Cheng. Unlike Chu Youwei, even with her mind-reading ability, it won't be easy for her to beat Su Cheng.
"Miaomiao, what will you do if Master disappears one day?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Miao's body visibly trembled, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and pretended to be stupid.
"Master is missing? Where is Master going? Can't he take Miaomiao with him?"
"Hehe, I just suddenly thought, what would happen to Miaomiao if I suddenly disappeared without a trace one day, passing away like an ordinary person?"
Miaomiao slowly lowered her hand holding the chess piece and let out a long sigh.
Miaomiao didn't know what her answer was, but with her mind-reading ability, she naturally knew what answer Su Cheng wanted.
However, Miaomiao can be a good child, but only if her master is also a good master!
"Miaomiao doesn't know, besides her mother, Miaomiao only has her master as a relative. Don't laugh at me, Master, but as they say, a teacher for a day is a father for life, and that's exactly how Miaomiao thinks."
Miaomiao tilted her head and pouted as she looked at Su Cheng, who seemed to be deep in thought and wanted to test her further. She thought to herself, "No rush. If Master doesn't get an answer, he'll definitely ask again!"
"Hehe, is that so?"
"Can't I?" Miao Miao suddenly put on a wronged expression, as if she was about to cry if her master didn't want her!
Upon seeing that Miaomiao was about to unleash her skill, Su Cheng quickly raised his hand to interrupt her: "Of course you can. Lingxian Palace is Miaomiao's home. Your master and your senior sisters are all Miaomiao's family."
Su Cheng's words served two purposes: firstly, to tell Miaomiao not to be so formal, and secondly, to convey that the world is still a beautiful place, and besides her master, there are many other things she should cherish...
but!
Su Cheng didn't expect that Miao Miao would react like a cat with its fur standing on end as soon as she heard those words!
She suddenly rushed into Su Cheng's arms across the chessboard!
"Master, could you please not disappear?"
"Miaomiao is very scared, Miaomiao doesn't dare to think about it!"
"Miaomiao doesn't know what will happen to her without her master!"
Miao Miao has already started laying the groundwork. If it were anything else, she could easily say some flattering words to appease her master, just like her senior sister did.
Once it's over, it's nothing. Her master wouldn't hold a grudge against a child like her. She already knew that her master cared about her a lot.
This wasn't her being spoiled; she simply didn't want to lose this hard-won warmth.
I believe that anyone who has experienced such helplessness would not let go of Master's warm hand.
"Master, when did you feel the most powerless and humiliated?"
Su Cheng was taken aback, and just as he was about to say something irrelevant, Miao Miao interrupted him, answering her own question...
