Chapter 607 When will your senior brother emerge from seclusion?
Xiao Tang cursed: "You big idiot! I think you're the one who wants to get knocked out."
The next morning, Xiao Tang was woken up.
"Sister Tang, it really is you!"
It was Yan Ruyu's excited voice that rang in Xiao Tang's ears.
Even after all these years, the woman's voice remains lively and unchanged.
“When I returned to Shensuan Mountain, I heard them say that you had come back. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now that I see, it really is you.”
Yan Ruyu exclaimed with great joy.
Xiao Tang opened her eyes and stood up, seeing the woman dressed in an elegant blue robe.
The robe was more masculine in style, but it didn't look out of place on Yan Ruyu at all.
It had been five years since I last saw Yan Ruyu. Her appearance hadn't changed much, but her temperament had changed a lot.
She seems to have lost some of her former playfulness, and gained a more composed and mature charm.
Xiao Tang looked her over.
"You're back? I only arrived yesterday."
She had just finished speaking when she saw a dark shadow flash before her eyes, and then Yan Ruyu pulled her into his arms tightly.
Yan Ruyu hugged her tightly, almost crying.
"You're finally back! I was so scared. I can't even imagine what would happen to His Majesty of the Great Sheng Kingdom if you weren't here anymore."
"I don't have any friends on this Shensuan Mountain. I can only talk to you. I've been so lonely these past five years without you."
Seeing Yan Ruyu chattering away, Xiao Tang really couldn't believe that she had no friends.
"Speaking of which, why did Sister Tang come up the mountain this time?"
After saying a string of words, Yan Ruyu remembered to ask Xiao Tang about his purpose in coming up the mountain.
Moreover, Xiao Tang went up the mountain alone and did not bring His Majesty with him.
There must be something important going on.
"Some important matters, such as promoting our Shensuan Mountain. Speaking of which, when will your senior brother emerge from seclusion? I have some important matters to discuss with him."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu shrugged and said, "Him? He usually likes to cultivate in seclusion. I don't know what he's doing all day."
...
Even after dinner, Xiao Tang still hadn't seen Gu Hanxin emerge from seclusion.
She thought that the clan chief on the mountain must have told the man who was in seclusion about her return, but the man showed no intention of showing up at all.
Seeing that she seemed a little impatient, Yan Ruyu immediately got up and left.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Tang was bored and wanted to find someone to talk to, so she asked Yan Ruyu to accompany her.
But then she saw Yan Ruyu get up and leave in a huff, and she immediately became a little gossipy.
Yan Ruyu didn't even turn her head: "I'll go and bring the person over."
This person refers to Gu Hanxin, who is currently in seclusion.
Xiao Tang blinked, watching the woman's figure gradually disappear before picking up his teacup and taking a sip.
Why was she becoming increasingly curious about how those two got along?
Moreover, when she racked her brains to come up with the gift pack task given by the dog system, there was only one way.
She couldn't think of any other way to get all women to feel comfortable taking off their clothes except by taking a bath.
She did remember that there was indeed a hot spring pool on the back of Shensuan Mountain.
The hot spring pool has always been strictly guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.
This is a good opportunity to give it a try.
...
Yan Ruyu pounded on Gu Hanxin's door.
Because it was a secluded cultivation session, the door to this room was made of stone. Yan Ruyu patted it several times, and her palms were already a little sore from the friction.
Seeing that there was still no response, she raised her voice and said, "Senior Brother, you can't just stay hidden inside. Her Majesty the Empress has been waiting for you all day."
"Or how long are you going to keep this up, you coward?"
Bang!
The stone gate suddenly opened.
It's obvious that he was provoked by Yan Ruyu's comment about him being a "coward"!
"Speak your mind." Gu Hanxin walked out of the stone door, his gray Taoist robe wrinkled from being inside the house for some time.
Even his once gentle and refined face was now covered in stubble.
He stared intently at Yan Ruyu.
His rough, masculine image is completely different from the gentle and refined senior brother image he usually presents.
Yan Ruyu looked him up and down in surprise.
Although they have always been in the same place on Shensuan Mountain, they only meet a few times a year. After all, he now controls the entire Shensuan Mountain, while Yan Ruyu is still just a handyman.
Under normal circumstances, she should never get close to this man.
Recently, things have been different because the Empress has come up the mountain.
Everyone looked at Yan Ruyu with much more respect and attitude.
Gu Hanxin glanced at the woman.
He pursed his lips.
Yan Ruyu immediately explained, "Her Majesty the Empress has waited long enough, if you..."
Bang!
The man slammed the stone door shut without hesitation.
Yan Ruyu's eyes widened, feeling as if she had been despised and provoked!
Knowing she couldn't get the person to do anything, she angrily kicked the stone door before turning and walking away in a huff.
After taking only a few steps, a man's voice came: "After I've tidied myself up, I will go to see Her Majesty the Empress."
...
Yan Ruyu returned, looking listless.
Xiao Tang, munching on sunflower seeds, watched her walk over with her head drooping. Raising an eyebrow, she asked with a slight smile, "What's wrong? You look so listless. Did you get a setback from your senior brother?"
"You don't know this, but recently he's suddenly been possessed by some evil spirit, and he's been going into seclusion to cultivate every few days."
“You can ask him.” Xiao Tang touched his chin.
However, Yan Ruyu shook her head repeatedly, saying no: "My status is lowly, I have no status at all in Shensuan Mountain, how can I ask him? He is now the successor of the sect leader."
