Gu Liyan had already sensed that Hua Xiaoxiao was in danger behind him, so he turned around and quickly reached out to pull Hua Xiaoxiao into his arms.
Hua Xiaoxiao lay in Gu Liyan's arms, staring in astonishment at Gu Liyan's throat, where the Adam's apple was very prominent.
Looking further up, his face was fair and smooth without any flaws; his perfect features combined to create an unparalleled beauty in the world.
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Xiaoxiao, who was in a daze, with concern and some doubt: What's wrong with Xiaoxiao? Has she been scared out of her wits?
Gu Liyan stood motionless, while Hua Xiaoxiao lay in Gu Liyan's arms as if still.
Just when they all thought time had frozen, a cold female voice suddenly rang out, "Hua Xiaoxiao! What are you doing!"
Upon hearing this voice, Hua Xiaoxiao shuddered and hurriedly stood up from Gu Liyan's arms, looking tense.
Gu Liyan frowned. It was so annoying to be interrupted so suddenly during such a tender moment!
Splash—
A rustling sound came from the jungle. Looking in the direction of the sound, a woman with a hot and alluring figure and ruthless eyes like a scorpion approached.
She wore a tight-fitting purple dress and walked barefoot on the grass without making a sound. She wore a purple veil, and her eyes were a deep purple that was almost black. In her eyes, Gu Liyan saw the sharp eyes of a hunter, the eyes of an assassin, and the insightful eyes of a sage!
This reminded Gu Liyan of someone she hadn't seen in a long time—Rui Xin.
"Master, Master... why are you here?" Hua Xiaoxiao asked, looking flustered when she saw Zixin.
"I've come to see my precious apprentice, to see if she's really married off!" Zi Xin squinted at Hua Xiaoxiao, whose face was full of disappointment. "You found a bridal sedan chair and a matchmaker, but it still didn't work out?"
Hua Xiaoxiao pouted and looked at Zixin with a wronged expression. "There's no bridal sedan chair, no matchmaker, and not even Xu Huan, whom I just met! Waaah... Master, Brother Mo doesn't like me anymore. Will I never be able to get married?"
Seeing the flower laughing and crying with tears streaming down her face, Zi Xin didn't rush to comfort her. Instead, she looked at Gu Liyan and, seeing his appearance, showed no surprise or praise. Instead, she teased, "What a handsome little brother! If all the men in the world were as beautiful as you, women would probably all become your slaves, right?"
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes: Who are you calling "brother"? Are you even older than me? Why are we not following the usual conversation script? We've suddenly started talking about having children and continuing the family line!
Gu Liyan figured she couldn't speak anyway, but she couldn't back down either, so she simply nodded: Yes! Whatever!
Seeing that Gu Liyan was ignoring her, Zi Xin became furious. "Kid! How dare you treat me like this!"
Seeing Zi Xin's anger, Hua Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke up for Gu Liyan, "Master, Sister Xiao Li... well, Xiao Li can't speak..."
Zi Xin was stunned, looking at Gu Liyan in surprise, "You, you really can't speak?"
Gu Liyan sighed: Do you think I want this?
He immediately nodded: I cannot speak!
Zi Xin immediately softened her tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought you were one of those young masters who came out to gain experience!"
How could a young master who can't speak be released to come here to train in the desolate city?
Gu Liyan shook his head indifferently.
"My name is Zixin, and I am the master of the silly smile!" Zixin looked at Gu Liyan and her tone softened.
giggle?
Gu Liyan looked surprised and looked at Hua Xiaoxiao with great interest: I didn't expect it to be such a nickname!
Seeing Gu Liyan looking at her, Hua Xiaoxiao blushed for no apparent reason.
Having just had intimate contact, she had truly confirmed Gu Liyan's male identity, and thinking of her previous misunderstanding, her face flushed even more.
Zi Xin smiled and asked Gu Liyan, "Little brother, what's your name? How old are you? Are you married? What kind of girl do you like? Do you want your aunt to find you one?"
Hua Xiaoxiao: ……
Gu Liyan: ...Even if I could speak, I couldn't keep up with her train of thought!
After writing down his name, Gu Liyan finally understood why Hua Xiaoxiao was illiterate; it turned out that both master and disciple were illiterate!
"Haha, from now on I'll call you Xiao Li!" This is a nickname from Zi Xin.
“Master, Xiao Li’s home is at the foot of the mountain, and there’s a very, very big tree in front of the door. The tree is full of pink flowers, it’s so beautiful!” Hua Xiaoxiao introduced.
"Really? I've never seen a pink tree before! Take me to see one!"
Instructions from Purple Core
Without asking their master's permission, the two went directly to Gu Liyan's residence. Upon seeing Xiao Tao's beautiful true form, their expressions turned serious.
Feeling a little embarrassed by their stares, Xiao Tao twisted her body without any wind or waves, causing flower petals to fall gracefully, carrying a sweet fragrance.
Upon seeing this scene, both Hua Xiaoxiao and Zi Xin stared at "Xiao Tao" in astonishment.
Startled, Xiao Tao hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Gu Liyan, "Father, is this Mother's master? Her eyes are so scary! Is she going to eat Xiao Tao? I'm not a fruit-bearing tree!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's telepathic message, Gu Liyan almost burst out laughing and replied directly to Xiao Tao:
"Don't be afraid. This sister isn't that scary. She probably saw such a big peach tree and didn't expect it to be so spiritual. She was just stunned for a moment. Calm down and don't panic!"
Xiao Tao, whose expressionless "tree-like" form was at a loss for words, sighed helplessly, "Alright, I'll stay calm and develop slowly."
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Xiaoxiao and Zixin and found their identical expressions quite amusing. Zixin reminded him of Ruixin from before, but it was a pity that they ended up parting on bad terms.
