After closing the door, Huai Jin looked at the osmanthus cake in his hand, tucked it together with his fingertips, and went straight back to his room.
Looking at the half-bitten osmanthus cake in Sheng Wu's hand, the young man stared at it intently, his thick black eyes surging with darkness and a hint of abnormal trembling and joy.
“Master…”
The low, cold murmur was more affectionate and less reverent than before.
So she still has some feelings for me, right? Otherwise, why am I the only one who gets the chance to be given a name by her, while not even Yu Chenming and Hua Lingjiu have it.
Even though she had arranged a way out for Yu Chenming and Hua Lingjiu five years ago, they were not with her now. If she cared so much about Yu Chenming, why would she let him change his ways and become Zhao Wuji's disciple?
And after Hua Lingjiu, didn’t he get much attention from her anymore?
Huai Jin picked up the piece of osmanthus cake, and his fingertips trembled as he touched it. His dark and gloomy eyes were filled with cautious and timid joy.
Just like his previous life, he couldn't stand the light of day.
In the end, he did not eat the osmanthus cake, but wrapped it tightly in a piece of the finest fairy silk handkerchief and put it away.
Because he didn't dare, he didn't dare to touch anything of his master with his lowly body.
I can only think about it silently.
If Sheng Wu had not burned the painting with the words "Huai Jin" written on it, he would probably have picked it up and kept it as a treasure.
Huai Jin slept very soundly that night. In his dream, he saw the scene of everyone becoming apprentices five years ago. The young men were full of vigor and energy, smiling at each other.
And he is no longer a beggar and an alien who is bullied and insulted by everyone. Instead, he is a junior brother who is taken care of and favored by his senior brothers and sisters. He never has to do anything himself, as they will protect him at the back.
And Master changed his name.
"Junior brother, let's go. It's time for us to go to training." Luo Qi waved at him.
"Junior brother, this is for you. You need to eat more to grow taller." Hua Lingjiu, who is a food-protective person, will also give him the first portion of food.
The master was cold and indifferent, but only addressed him, "Your name Wuyan doesn't sound good, so I'll just call you Huaijin."
......
"Big Brother!"
At night, in the capital of Yaoguang Kingdom, thousands of miles away.
Hua Lingjiu followed the system's navigation and arrived at the destination after a whole day's journey. He arrived outside the Prince's Mansion almost non-stop and didn't even have time to check for any news.
He went straight to the West Garden of the Prince's Mansion.
However, as soon as she entered in black clothes and mask, she was ambushed by someone. After subconsciously exchanging a few moves, she took a closer look.
Hua Lingjiu was stunned.
She came to see her master, but why didn't she see her master first? She hadn't seen her senior brother for five years?!
When Yu Chenming, who was about to kill, heard this, he stopped collecting power in his hand and turned around to take back the magic weapon.
"Junior Sister!" How could she be here?
He stopped his move, stood up straight and looked at the man in black in front of him with some suspicion.
"Yes, it's me."
Seeing that he was still in doubt, Hua Lingjiu immediately raised her hand and pulled off the black mask on her face. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him proudly, her tone arrogant and familiar.
"How about it? I didn't expect that I would improve so quickly."
When he saw that it was really her, Yu Chenming's cold and solemn face couldn't help but soften a little, and his tone softened.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the person with the worst talent five years ago would be able to cultivate so quickly." This was not sarcasm, but just a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu immediately glared at him unhappily.
"Tsk, who are you looking at?"
She also put away the weapon in her hand, then looked at the magnificent buildings around her, shaking her head and sighing.
"I never thought that in just a few years, not only did you become the crown prince, but you also became the sect master's disciple. You are doing quite well."
After his master finally stripped him of his system against all odds, he suffered the backlash of going astray and becoming possessed. However, he turned around and joined the sect leader who secretly wanted to attack his master, which made her feel a little sorry for Sheng Wu.
But if the master himself didn't say it, she, as someone with a God's perspective, wouldn't say anything more to let Yu Chenming know.
Of course, Hua Lingjiu didn't know that Sheng Wu had already let Yu Chenming know about this from other people.
Yu Chenming heard a hint of alienation and indescribable anger in her tone, frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly.
"Are you here just to pick a fight with me?"
Hua Lingjiu rolled his eyes. "Tsk, I stayed up all night and traveled all day to come and argue with you. Am I sick or are you just too proud?"
Yu Chenming heard another layer of meaning and raised his eyebrows, "So you are not here to see me."
Her words just now clearly showed that she had just realized that this was his Prince's Mansion.
"Yes, I came to see my master." Hua Lingjiu did not hide it and revealed his cards directly.
Yu Chenming frowned slightly, "But Master has been gone for many days. Who gave you this information to trick you?"
"?!" Hua Lingjiu, who had been nonchalant just now, suddenly glared, "You said Master left?"
[System! System! Are you kidding me?]
Her youthful voice system immediately explained, "I don't have it. Don't listen to Yu Chenming's provocation. I'll go check first."
Yu Chenming nodded and spread his hands as if to make way.
"If you don't believe me, you can turn my house upside down."
Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu's eyes darkened. She knew that Yu Chenming had no reason to lie to her, but the system would not lie to her either. So what went wrong?
"Where is Master?"
Yu Chenming did not answer but asked, "Do you think Master will tell me?"
"cut."
Hua Lingjiu's mouth twitched, and he sneered nonchalantly, "That's right, if Master saw you, he would probably beat you up first."
With Master's temper, if he knew that Yu Chenming, to whom he had helped so much, had become the Sect Master's disciple, he would probably whip him a few times.
Beat him up...
He actually hoped that his master would be a little angry with him, but not so indifferent.
Yu Chenming pursed his lips and didn't tell her much about his encounters with Sheng Wu these days.
Afterwards, Yu Chenming arranged for Dongyuan to host a welcome party for Hua Lingjiu.
As for Xiyuan, no one else will set foot there except him.
The two men held wine glasses in their hands and sat talking calmly.
Hua Ling sipped the wine, and her face flushed as she drank a little too much. She started to speak casually.
"Tell me, how can Zhao Wuji compare to Master? You said you wanted to pursue the freedom you longed for and left us and Master. I understand. But I don't understand why you want to become Zhao Wuji's disciple. Why, are you also thinking about the position of Sect Leader?"
She knew that Yu Chenming had been coerced by that system for many worlds, and this time he was finally free. It was understandable that he wanted to leave the Piaomiao Mountain sect, but why did he stand against them?
