Xuan Nu Palace
Rong Muxi was reading a book when she saw Old Man Qingxuan coming over with wine again, and her clever eyes darted around.
"Grandpa Qingxuan, are you asking my master to drink again? Are you two too good at drinking, or is this wine not very good? How come you always drink for so long and I've never seen you two get drunk?"
Qingxuan walked over and tapped her on the head: "What do you know, little girl? We drink just to pass the time and relieve boredom, not to drown our sorrows. Why do we have to get drunk? Also, you call Suyi 'Master' and me 'Grandpa,' your sister calls me 'Master,' and you call Wanwan 'Sister.' Isn't that a difference in generation?"
Rong Muxi rubbed her head and looked at Qingxuan with a wronged expression: "Old man Qingxuan, why did you hit me? I'll tell Master and Sister."
Rong Muxi knew that Qingxuan was most afraid of her master and her sister, which is why she dared to threaten them so openly.
Qingxuan glared at her, his beard bristling: "You little brat, all you do is tattle. Can't you be a little more responsible?"
Just as Rong Muxi was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"What, Qingxuan, you bullied my disciple, and you won't even let him complain? I've only been gone for a short while, and you're already bullying him. Do you want to have some sparring?"
Su Yi glared at Qing Xuan with ill intent. This guy was actually bullying her disciple while she was away. Even if her disciple was naughty, she was the only one who could discipline him; no one else could interfere.
The moment Qingxuan learned that Suyi had returned, he put on what he thought was a very handsome face.
"Oh, Suyi, look at what you're saying. How could I possibly bully Xixi? She's not only your apprentice, but also Wanwan's sister. How could I dare to do that?"
Rong Muxi covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at Qingxuan.
Su Yi came to her side and ruffled her curly hair.
Did this old man bully you?
Rong Muxi shook her little head: "Master, I was just joking with Grandpa. He didn't bully me."
Upon hearing Rong Muxi call him "Grandpa," Su Yi couldn't hold back any longer and turned her head behind her, laughing uncontrollably.
Qingxuan looked at the master and disciple with a resentful expression: "Have you laughed enough? Am I that old?"
Su Yi didn't even turn her head, she just waved her hand.
After laughing enough, Su Yi turned to look at Qing Xuan: "Qing Xuan, my disciple is still young, so calling you grandpa isn't too much of a stretch. But if we're talking about age, pfft..."
Seeing Su Yi's beaming smile, Qing Xuan felt quite happy too. How long had it been since he had seen Su Yi's genuine smile?
Let it be a joke. Seeing Su Yi's smile isn't such a bad thing.
Su Yi felt awkward and unsure of herself when he stared at her.
Rong Muxi understood the unspoken meaning behind her master and Qingxuan's expressions; she was determined to bring the two of them together.
Both of them were clearly interested, but neither of them spoke up.
Then one day, Su Yi called Rong Muxi to her side.
“Xixi, your master knows what you’re thinking, but Qingxuan and I think things are fine as they are. If we take another step forward, we might both feel uncomfortable. Do you understand what your master means?”
Rong Muxi nodded and then shook her head. Su Yi patted her head: "You're still young. You'll understand when you grow up. Two lovers don't necessarily have to get married to be the final outcome. Staying together is also very important, and Qingxuan and I are very content with our current situation. Your master understands your heart, but some things can't be forced, you know?"
"I understand, Master."
Rong Muxi couldn't understand what her master was saying at all. Why couldn't two people who loved each other be together? Wouldn't it be better to be like her parents? They got married and had children, and they could still be there for each other, right?
Moreover, there is no rule in the divine realm that two gods cannot be together.
Could it be that they don't love each other as much as they think, which is why they don't want to be together?
But since Master said that, there must be a reason behind it, so I won't force myself.
At this moment, Rong Muxi thought about her future. If she met the right person, would she have the courage to say those words? Or would she, like her master, keep them to herself and remain silent to the other person?
Or perhaps, like with one's master, mutual companionship is enough?
But Rong Muxi is still too young to imagine it.
Perhaps in the future, she will muster the courage to confess her feelings to the person she likes. Or perhaps, she will wait for that person to confess to her first.
Or perhaps, there is no perhaps at all.
