"Are you injured?" Si Jin asked with concern. Yao Cen suddenly looked up, and accidentally, her red eyes were seen by her master.
It's especially heartbreaking to see them like that.
"No...it's nothing." Realizing her loss of composure, Yao Cen hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "It's just that I was struck by a level 10 lightning bolt a while ago, and I developed a problem of...watery eyes."
Ever since his master was struck by lightning, he has wanted to control all the heavenly lightning.
Getting injured accidentally is a common occurrence; once you get used to the pain, it's nothing to worry about.
Si Jin sighed, raised her hand and conjured a wooden box out of thin air, and placed it next to the man: "These are some pills I used to treasure, which I couldn't bear to use. They're for nourishing the heart and strengthening the soul. Take them."
After delivering the message, a whole bunch of thoughts raced through my mind. After picking and choosing, I could only offer one piece of advice: "There's no end to learning magic. You're still young, and you're already one of the best among your fellow disciples. Don't push yourself so hard."
"Thank you, Master." Upon receiving the pill, Yao Cen couldn't hold back her tears again.
Master is still as good as ever, it's just a pity...
Her kindness towards him was simply out of appreciation for his talent, the most normal concern between a teacher and student; but her kindness towards Lin Yuan was love, a love that wanted to kiss and hug him, to possess him entirely.
Holding the pill, Yao Cen held it for a long time before finally unable to resist asking, "Master, I want to ask you a question."
Si Jin glanced at her watch and felt a little guilty. Should she have talked to her apprentice more before?
If I talk less, will I be less likely to raise my apprentice astray?
He replied, "A-Yuan will be back soon, don't ask anymore."
The refusal in his words was already quite clear.
It was so obvious, like a sharp sword, that it pierced Yao Cen's heart, causing him pain as if his heart were about to burst.
But these words had been bottled up for centuries, and he finally blurted them out in a desperate act: "Then I'll get to the point, Master, if it weren't for Lin Yuan, would you...?"
"Yao Cen!" Si Jin called out to him, his handsome features exuding an imposing and natural aura of authority.
“You are my disciple, you are my first disciple. I usually give you more things to do and care about you more, but it is all within a normal and reasonable range. Every deity would do the same.”
"But I have never summoned you in private before, nor have you ever come to my residence, have I?"
The message has been made very clear: he was immature and gradually turned his reverence for his master into affection.
Yao Cen smiled, stood up, and slowly, very slowly, bowed to Si Jin.
As he lowered his head, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably: "Disciple, I will remember your teachings."
There's no need to ask anymore, it's unnecessary.
"Alright, get up. I'm waiting for you and the other fellow disciples to give me a welcome-back dinner after I've atoneed for my sins." Si Jin's words were both a comforting remark and a subtle reminder.
They can only be master and apprentice.
"Yes, disciple will lead everyone to welcome Master. Disciple will take his leave now."
Yao Cen turned around, stumbling along, her eyes utterly empty.
Just as he reached the door, Nan Linyuan returned. "Brother, I bought some strawberries. Want to eat some together?"
"No, thank you." Yao Cen said, "I suddenly have an urgent business trip. I have to catch a train and won't be back for a while. Take care of yourselves."
As she spoke, she put her hand on Nan Linyuan's shoulder: "You must, you must, be good to him."
Such a revered immortal, willingly loving you.
If you dare to cause him even the slightest grievance, I will lead all my fellow disciples to annihilate you until your soul is scattered.
Nan Linyuan felt pain, as if his brother would crush him if he wasn't with Jinjin.
"Don't worry, bro, we have a great relationship."
"I'm leaving now. You guys go ahead and eat. The company is going to be incredibly busy."
After saying that, he quickly left, as if he were fleeing something, and got into his car.
They stormed off, fleeing in disarray.
