Seeing the determination in her eyes, Shi Yuan pursed his thin lips tightly.
After more than a month of strict security, the sect found nothing unusual and gradually relaxed their guard.
Nanzhi thought that the people from Tianxiang Sect probably wouldn't dare to come, so she decided to send Shiyuan back.
But how should I tell her, this somewhat sensitive little apprentice?
"Master, I picked some wildflowers from the woods outside. Do you think they're pretty?"
Shi Yuan, holding a bunch of flowers in full bloom, ran in from outside with high spirits. He walked up to Nan Zhi and looked at her with a mixture of pride and anticipation.
Nan Zhi smiled unconsciously: "Very beautiful."
"Should I go find a vase and put it in?"
Nanzhi nodded.
Shi Yuan immediately hugged the flowers and went to find a vase.
Later, he filled a beautiful celadon vase with wildflowers and placed it on the windowsill.
Shi Yuan sprinkled water on the flowers and said to her, "From now on, Master will be able to see the flowers by the window whenever he looks up, and he will definitely be in a good mood."
He found an excellent spot; indeed, he could see it as soon as he looked up.
Nanzhi looked at the flowers, then at him beside them, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, whether because of the flowers or because of him, it was unclear.
She thought she should let Shi Yuan go back tomorrow.
Shi Yuan has to go back.
Although her disciples didn't say anything during the time she kept Shi Yuan in Kunyu Palace, they were already quite dissatisfied.
Of course, the most important reason was that she felt something was off about Shi Yuan the more she looked at him.
Maybe I've really been lonely for too long, and it's time to find a partner.
I saw Qian Che again one afternoon.
Ever since Shi Yuan moved into Kunyu Palace, he has liked to go there whenever he has time.
Fortunately, every time I saw Shi Yuan and Nan Zhi together, it was normal.
Today, he suddenly brought a bouquet of flowers.
"Senior sister, I picked these flowers from outside. They're perfect for you to keep here."
Qian Che brought the flowers to the window, and when he saw the flowers inside, he frowned: "They're too ugly. The ones I picked are much better."
As she spoke, she pulled out the flowers that were in full bloom.
Before Nanzhi could stop him, he saw the flowers turn into dust and disappear with a wave of his hand.
Nan Zhi: "...Junior Brother!"
Qian Che looked at her: "What's wrong? Did your little apprentice pick these flowers?"
Nanzhi's expression indicated agreement.
Seeing that Qian Che was a little embarrassed, she comforted him, "It's okay, it's fine to throw it away."
Shi Yuan, who had just reached the door, heard these words: ...
He stood at the door, hesitant to go in.
I just listened to their conversation.
Qian Che suddenly asked, "Senior sister, have you thought about what I told you the other day?"
Nan Zhi remained silent for a long time before replying, "I've thought about it, it's okay."
Qian Che stared at her with wide eyes: "What does Senior Sister mean?"
"What I mean is, we can become partners and cultivate together."
Qian Che confirmed her meaning. She was clearly over a thousand years old, as old as could be, but she was smiling like a little kid, her mouth wide open.
"Senior sister, that's great, you finally agreed."
He rushed over, wanting to grab Nanzhi's hand.
Nanzhi raised her hand to stop him.
"You go back first. I have something to take care of. I'll come find you tomorrow, and then we'll announce this publicly together."
Qian Che left with great reluctance.
Nanzhi watched his figure disappear before walking to the windowsill and sitting down, fiddling with the flowers in the vase.
"Shi Yuan, come in."
The footsteps behind me were slow.
"Master is truly amazing; he actually knew I was outside."
Shi Yuan spoke cheerfully, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Nan Zhi continued to fiddle with the flowers in the vase. She leaned closer to smell them and smiled faintly, "Shi Yuan, I really like the flowers your martial uncle gave me."
Shi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he couldn't understand her subtext.
"As long as Master is happy."
Nanzhi looked up at him and said, "What I mean is, I like your martial uncle."
Shi Yuan lowered his eyelashes, his lips slightly curved, revealing no change in emotion.
"My master is very kind, and I like him too."
Nanzhi was very pleased: "I'm glad you like him. I've decided to become his partner. I will announce it to everyone tomorrow."
She stood up and looked at him: "The people from Tianxiang Sect probably won't dare to come again. You should move back today."
She took out a drawn talisman and handed it to him.
"This is a summoning talisman. If you are in danger, light it and I will arrive immediately."
With that, she turned to leave.
My wrist was suddenly grabbed.
She was somewhat puzzled: "Shi Yuan?"
"Master, is it really necessary for you to become partners with your martial uncle?"
Nanzhi hadn't noticed the change in his tone yet, and explained, "Yes, my cultivation hasn't broken through in the past few years. Perhaps by becoming partners with your uncle and cultivating together, I can improve."
"Is it just for cultivation?"
At this point, Nanzhi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Of course it's more than that. Your martial uncle and I have been cultivating together for over a thousand years. Although his cultivation level is not as high as mine, we have supported each other through thick and thin. I feel very at ease with him."
"...Does Master like him that much?"
Even the poison of the love flower couldn't change her mind.
Nan Zhi was about to say yes, but before she could finish speaking, a large hand pulled her away.
She fell into the boy's arms, her chin held firmly by his iron-like hand.
The boy's once innocent and obedient eyes were now filled with turbulent emotions, deep and dark, staring intently at her.
