The teacup in Liang Ci's hand fell to the ground almost at the moment Mu Huan finished speaking.
The tea almost splashed all over Liang Ci!
It was rare for Mu Huan to see her master being so disrespectful. Liang Ci had always been a man of his word, so what had happened today? Bending down to pick up the teacup from the floor, he asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Mu Huan didn't understand. It seemed she hadn't provoked her beautiful master in any way.
"Nothing!" Almost in an instant, Liang Ci became that cold and indifferent look again, as if the rudeness just now was just an illusion.
"No way, Huanhuan!" Tan Tailuo's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "You don't even know the master of the Holy Temple?"
"I, should know?" Glancing around and seeing the expressions of Mu Qing and the others, Mu Huan felt more and more like a country bumpkin who knew nothing in front of them.
But it wasn't her fault. Back then, because of the Flower Spirit incident, she had grown disgusted with the hypocrisy of the Temple. Furthermore, she had been recovering from her injuries and had been forbidden from leaving the house for over a decade, so she wasn't very familiar with what was happening outside.
"That's the master of the Holy Temple! It's said that his appearance is so abominable that both humans and gods alike would hate him. I heard that his strength has even reached the final stage of ascension! I just don't know why he is still lingering in this lower realm."
Tan Tai Luo spoke with great relish, appearing completely obsessed. You know, in the entire Xiuling Continent, besides Elder Liang Ci, the person she admired most was the Temple Master. Although she didn't like what the Temple did, it didn't stop her from worshipping that godlike man.
Tan Tai Luo was immersed in his own world and didn't notice the "take care of yourself" expressions in the eyes of Mu Qing and the others beside him.
Mu Chen held his forehead. Didn't this silly girl see the displeasure in Liang Ci's eyes? She actually talked about another man in front of Mu Huan, and such an outstanding man at that. It was obviously Liang Ci who was more outstanding, at least that's what Mu Chen thought!
But Lord Liang Ci doesn’t really treat Mu Huan as his apprentice. The look in his eyes is clearly that of a man looking at a woman.
"That's nothing! I don't believe there's anyone better than my master in this world!" Mu Huan immediately expressed her "loyalty." No matter how good the so-called Holy Temple Master was, no one could compare to her master. "Right, Master!"
Mu Huan's eyes were almost glued to Liang Ci. Liang Ci reached out and gently tapped Mu Huan's forehead. "Why do you want to know the master of the temple?"
Liang Ci appeared calm, but the hand he clenched tightly in his wide sleeve betrayed him. He didn't dare to speculate whether the man already knew of Mu Huan's existence, but all hidden dangers must be resolved as soon as possible.
"It's nothing. I just met a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Temple yesterday. She came to see me in the evening." Mu Huan paused, because she found that Tan Tai Luo and the others were really curious. They all looked at her intently as she spoke.
"She said I look a lot like the woman in their palace master's portrait." Mu Huan waved his hand. "There are so many people who look alike in this world, I certainly wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think it was really me!" Mu Huan poured a glass of water and drank while observing Liang Ci's expression. For some reason, Mu Huan felt inexplicably guilty.
"The Temple Master, who hates women, how could he have portraits of women?" Liang Ci lied openly, trying to deceive Mu Huan. He knew Mu Huan wouldn't know anyway. If it were before, he would definitely not say these words, but emergency situations call for emergency measures!
Mu Qing and the others beside him also chose to keep their mouths shut in tacit agreement. They had never thought Liang Ci could be so shameless! He had said he was as cold and aloof as a banished immortal, that he would not be interested in women and had no desires or requests!!!
"Really?" Mu Huan obviously didn't believe it. This kind of talk might be enough to fool a child, but she wasn't a child anymore! However, it wasn't hard to guess that the beautiful master didn't want her to meet that so-called Holy Temple Master, so she simply gave up thinking about it.
"Then I'll just believe it for now!"
Liang Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. Although he once thought that this behavior was a loss of his composure, composure didn't matter anymore. Compared to her, everything else was unimportant.
He stared at Mu Huan's face for a moment before finally looking away. He had to think about her. The people of Xiuling Continent were very conservative and wouldn't accept a master-disciple relationship. He couldn't let her be caught in this dilemma. Once everything was resolved, he would take her away from this situation. The reason he chose to become master and disciple was simply because this relationship made it more suitable for him to stay by her side.
"It's better to be careful about the Yunxue City matter." The restraints on him had not yet been completely lifted, so he couldn't accompany her all the time. He had always known that his girl was a delicate person, so he had to deal with those matters quickly so that he could accompany her all the time.
"Master, are you leaving so soon?" Mu Huan had just arrived and was hoping to stay a little longer! Sure enough, it still wasn't working. It seemed like he had to get stronger as quickly as possible and lock up his master so he wouldn't run around.
"Get stronger as soon as possible!" Liang Ci's voice carried a deep meaning that Mu Huan couldn't quite understand, and he sighed softly. Master, was he hiding something from her?
"Please take good care of this poor disciple!" He lowered his voice for the first time, just for her own good. From the moment Mu Huan mentioned the Temple Master, Liang Ci knew that something had to be done quickly.
"I don't need it! I'm very capable." Mu Huan raised his head slightly and spoke in dissatisfaction.
Liang Ci touched Mu Huan's head with some amusement, "Be obedient! Also, promise me not to see him!" Liang Ci was still worried and gave some instructions.
For some reason, even though Liang Ci didn't specify who that "he" was, Mu Huan felt he was referring to the Temple Master. Despite her doubts, she knew her master wouldn't harm her.
Mu Huan was unusually well-behaved and nodded gently. "Don't worry, Master!"
Mu Huan was stunned for a long time as she watched Liang Ci leave. She only felt a vague fragment in her mind. She seemed to have seen someone leave like this before, and she also stood there quietly like this.
The other side
"If you keep doing this, sooner or later she'll become a useless, dependent person." A deep voice appeared behind Liang Ci. This person was none other than Liang Ci's only close friend, Mei Yan, an extremely charming man, undoubtedly a descendant of the Mei clan.
"I just hope that she can live a peaceful and worry-free life. Being able to rely on someone proves that she has someone to rely on, and no longer has to face everything alone like before!" Liang Ci rarely spoke more.
"But in a world where the strong are respected, she will get into trouble sooner or later. You can't always be by her side to protect her." Over the years, he watched Liang Ci indulge Mu Yuntian and turn Mu Huan into a person who loved to act coquettishly and throw tantrums.
"Huan'er isn't what she seems. She has her own ambitions and wants to have friends she can cry to and rely on! She may appear to care nothing, but she cares more than anyone else."
