In the wind and snow, a blurry figure gradually became clear.
The person seemed out of place amidst the freezing cold, yet as the figure drew closer, Qin Luo's familiar face gradually emerged from the snowstorm.
His robes fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyes revealed a calm and composed demeanor.
The moment Su Xuan saw Qin Luo appear, her expression changed drastically, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.
The sudden appearance of this man in front of her caused her to feel an inexplicable pressure, a feeling she had rarely experienced in her previous cultivation journey.
Instinctively, Su Xuan stepped to the side, shielding Yi Ting behind her. She raised her hands, spiritual energy surging in her palms, assuming a defensive stance.
"Yiting, don't be afraid, your senior sister is here. This person's origins are unknown, so we must not let our guard down. You should find a safe place to hide first."
Su Xuan lowered her voice and said, her eyes fixed on Qin Luo, not daring to relax her vigilance in the slightest.
However, Yiting seemed to be bewitched at this moment, completely ignoring Suxuan's words.
Her eyes were fixed on Qin Luo, and her steps quickened as she rushed toward him without regard for anything else.
Seeing Yiting rush over so recklessly, Su Xuan was immediately extremely anxious:
"Yiting, come back quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yiting's heartfelt "Master!" rang in Suxuan's ears.
She was instantly stunned, frozen in place, the shout echoing in her mind, unable to react for a moment. She stared in disbelief at Yi Ting's figure rushing towards Qin Luo, her heart filled with astonishment.
"Master?" Su Xuan murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock. "Could this be the master that Yi Ting has been longing for? And the reason why she has always refused to acknowledge Elder Jingwei as her master?"
Her gaze involuntarily fell on Qin Luo, and she began to carefully examine the man before her. Qin Luo was tall and straight, with a handsome face that was both refined and composed, and deep eyes that exuded an indescribable aura.
However, no matter how she looked at it, Qin Luo was not very old, which deepened Su Xuan's doubts.
It is important to know that alchemy is a profound and complex art, requiring a great deal of time and effort to study and accumulate rich experience before one can achieve success.
Yiting's previous description of her admiration for this master led her to subconsciously assume that he was a highly respected, white-haired old man.
But the Qin Luo standing before me now clearly appears to be a promising young man.
"This man looks so young, how skilled could his alchemy be?" Su Xuan thought to herself. "Elder Jingwei is a ninth-level master alchemist, only one step away from becoming a grandmaster alchemist. Why is Yiting so devoted to this young man instead of bowing to such a powerful elder like Elder Jingwei?"
Her gaze fell on the two who were already embracing, or more precisely, on Yiting's initiative in throwing herself into the man's arms.
Yi Ting threw herself into the man's arms without any hesitation, her eyes filled with a deep affection that Su Xuan had never seen before.
Their posture was like that of a fish that had found its harbor, their faces radiating happiness and contentment. The surrounding snow and ice melted into the warmth of spring sunshine, and the whole world seemed to consist only of the two of them, with everyone else becoming insignificant background figures.
This made Su Xuan's heart skip a beat, and an almost absurd yet highly probable guess sprouted in her mind.
"Wait?" Su Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, her heart churning with shock. "I seem to remember Yi Ting mentioning that she had someone she loved. Could it be... that this person before me is the one she's been longing for, or even the master she spoke of?!"
This thought exploded in Su Xuan's mind, leaving her stunned and completely bewildered, as if she were in a state of absurdity.
In her deeply ingrained belief, the relationship between master and disciple was hierarchical and clearly defined. Such an unconventional relationship was beyond her comprehension and she simply could not accept it for the time being.
Su Xuan's gaze shifted back and forth between Qin Luo and Yi Ting, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt, trying to refute this shocking guess.
However, when Yi Ting looked at Qin Luo, her gaze was full of deep affection, pouring out her love without reservation.
The man gently and affectionately stroked Yiting's hair with one hand, and the natural and intimate gesture clearly demonstrated the special relationship between the two.
Seeing this scene, Su Xuan's lips parted slightly, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the days she spent with Yi Ting. Those details that she had overlooked flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
Every time Yiting's so-called master is mentioned, the blush on her cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes... it turns out that everything was already foreshadowed, but she had never thought about it in depth.
At that moment, when Qin Luo saw Yi Ting rushing towards him without regard for anything and throwing herself into his arms, the overwhelming force was still somewhat unexpected.
Her overly voluptuous figure possessed an unimaginable impact, causing Qin Luo to involuntarily stagger backward a few steps before barely managing to regain her balance.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the gap between people seemed to have widened considerably in just three years...
Thinking back to Huang Lu, her voluptuous figure possessed a mature and alluring charm, exuding grace in every gesture. Su Yaoyue, on the other hand, had a unique allure due to her prominent breasts.
But Yi Ting, although she was wearing a loose robe that completely concealed her figure, making it difficult for anyone to see anything about her.
But the moment she threw herself into his arms, her long-hidden perfect figure was revealed to Qin Luo in the most direct and shocking way.
This left Qin Luo somewhat dazed, filled with a myriad of emotions.
Yi Ting was unaware of Qin Luo's subtle thoughts. She held Qin Luo tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all the longing she had felt over the years in this moment.
"Master, Ting'er misses you so much, I think about you every day..."
Qin Luo snapped out of his daze, gently patted Yi Ting's back, then looked at the stunned Su Xuan in front of him and smiled apologetically:
"Miss, I'm so sorry, my sudden appearance has probably disturbed you. Yiting and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder if you could do us a favor and give us a little time alone to catch up?"
Su Xuan was taken aback. Looking at Qin Luo's sincere expression, and then at Yi Ting, who was still nestled in Qin Luo's arms and crying her eyes out, her wariness eased slightly.
Seeing that Yiting didn't say anything, she hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded:
"In that case, you two talk first. I... I'll stay nearby and keep watch in case of any danger."
After saying that, Su turned around and walked towards a distance, pondering to herself as she walked, "How did I suddenly become that superfluous person?"
