"It's understandable that Master is shy and embarrassed, as a young lady is naturally reserved."
Seeing that Qin Wan remained silent for a long time, Ji Jue began to speak to himself.
Qin Wan: "???"
"When I offended you just now, you were stunned and speechless, but you did not push me away. I suppose you did not dislike me."
"Moreover, even after being taken advantage of by his disciple, Master never showed any disgust, aversion, embarrassment, or nausea..."
"I suspect that Master has some affection for me."
“I admire my master, and my master is also fond of me.”
"My master and I are mutually in love, and it is a predestined marriage. Why not follow the will of heaven, express our feelings, and accept each other?"
"Ji Jue..." Qin Wan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But with just one glance, Ji Jue seemed to guess what she wanted to say, so he interrupted her first.
"Disciple does not want to hear any words of rejection, so Master, please refrain from speaking."
"Of course, if Master thinks it through and believes that what I said makes sense, then I will listen to whatever you say."
Qin Wan: "..."
Qin Wan pinched her brow, looking at Ji Jue with a headache, and said, "I am still injured, so I'll be leaving now."
Watching Qin Wan's flustered departure, Ji Jue didn't rush to chase after her.
Anyway, as long as the Ling family patriarch is still alive, his master will never abandon him.
Outside the meditation room.
A knocking sound came from the door, and Qin Wan, who was meditating, felt her spiritual energy falter...
"Master, I have personally prepared a tonic for you. May I bring it in?" Ji Jue's gentle voice came from inside.
"..." Qin Wan pursed her red lips slightly, and the moment she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of helplessness.
"I don't need it," Qin Wan said, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration.
"Master, this is a stew made from top-grade spiritual plants that I personally picked in the secret realm. Although it cannot compare to the pills you refine yourself, it is still a token of my affection..."
...
After Ji Jue finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the surroundings.
After a long while, Qin Wan's voice came from the cultivation room again.
"Just leave it outside the door. I'll talk to you after I finish my cultivation."
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you, disciple,” Ji Jue said obediently.
Qin Wan: "???"
"No need. You should go back and get some rest, and don't neglect your health." Qin Wan's voice came again, her tone seemingly tinged with a hint of urgency.
Outside the door, Ji Jue's lips curled slightly, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
Master is really... adorable.
“Master is injured, and I am worried about you,” Ji Jue said stubbornly.
Qin Wan: "..."
The room fell into a brief, eerie silence.
After a long while, the door creaked open.
Qin Wan's exquisite and beautiful face came into his view, and a bright displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Jue remained calm and gentle, offering the nourishing soup in her hand.
"Master, please try it. This is the first time I've cooked for you. I don't know if it suits your taste."
Qin Wan: "..."
"What's wrong, Master? Are you worried about the taste?"
Qin Wan gave him a deep look and was about to reach out to take it when Ji Jue pulled it back first.
He lowered his head and took a small sip from the rim of the bowl...
"It's alright. The taste isn't exceptional, but it's not inedible either."
As she spoke, Ji Jue fed the bowl of nourishing soup to Qin Wan's lips again.
"Master, would you like to try some?"
Qin Wan: "..."
“A-Jue…” Qin Wan looked at him with a face full of disapproval.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Master?" Ji Jue looked at her with tender eyes.
Qin Wan: "...I'll drink."
Seemingly sensing Ji Jue's determination to achieve his goal, Qin Wan took a deep breath and finally accepted the bowl of nourishing soup, drinking it all in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Ji Jue's eyebrows curved into a smile.
Hmm, that's great.
He shared a bowl of soup with his master.
Thinking of this, a hint of undisguised pleasure appeared in Ji Jue's eyes.
[Ji Jue's affection level increased by 2, current affection level is 87.]
"How is Master's injury?"
Has it gotten any better?
"Is there anything I can help you with, disciple?"
Before Qin Wan could answer, Ji Jue took his hand and began to examine her wrist with his fingertips.
Qin Wan: "???"
“A-Jue…”
Qin Wan forcefully pulled her hand back, staring at Ji Jue with displeasure.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Master?" Ji Jue seemed completely oblivious.
"But your injury hasn't healed, is there anything that's bothering you?"
Ji Jue is pretending to be stupid!
After taking a deep breath, Qin Wan turned around and returned to the cultivation room. With a "bang," the door was slammed shut again.
Ji Jue stood at the door, not pressing her any further.
"Master, please rest well. Your disciple will go and prepare dinner for you."
Qin Wan: "..."
Ji Jue is gone.
In the evening, Ji Jue returned, bringing with him roasted spirit beast meat that looked and smelled delicious. The rich aroma of roasted meat filled the house, causing Qin Wan, who was cultivating, to suddenly open her eyes.
Qin Wan: "..."
"Master, it's time for dinner."
"..."
As soon as Ji Jue finished speaking, there was no sound coming from the cultivation room.
"Master, I ran into the sect leader when I returned just now."
As soon as Ji Jue finished speaking, the door creaked open, and a familiar, graceful figure appeared before his eyes.
"Where is the sect leader?"
Qin Wan looked around and then frowned at Ji Jue.
"The sect leader had important matters to attend to and did not linger. He simply asked his disciple to convey this message to his master."
As she spoke, Ji Jue handed over the roasted meat, looking at Qin Wan with a smile.
Qin Wan frowned at him, not reaching out to take it, and pressed for an answer: "What did the sect leader say?"
"Master, won't you try some? This was baked by your disciple personally, although it's my first time making it..."
"But I have already tasted it, and it tastes quite good. Master, please give it a try."
As she spoke, Ji Jue looked at Qin Wan with anticipation.
Qin Wan: "...Let's get down to business first."
“Master can listen while eating,” Ji Jue added with a smile.
Qin Wan: "..."
In the end, Qin Wan couldn't resist Ji Jue's insistence and took the roast meat but didn't touch it.
Seeing this, Ji Jue smiled and looked at Qin Wan with a gentle expression, asking, "Does Master want me to feed you personally?"
As soon as Ji Jue finished speaking, Qin Wan immediately tore off a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Ji Jue smiled, her eyes full of doting affection.
"The sect leader asked me to convey this message to Master..."
"The Ling family patriarch was furious..."
"It is said that the Ling family patriarch searched through the library and seems to have found the secret method to lift that ancient forbidden technique."
"Just now, the Ling family patriarch brought Ling Mubai back to his cave for seclusion..."
"It seems they are already working on removing the forbidden technique from Ling Mubai."
After Ji Jue finished speaking, he stared intently at Qin Wan, as if anticipating her reaction.
Qin Wan nodded calmly to indicate that she understood, and then nothing more happened...
Seeing this, Ji Jue paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Wan looked over with a puzzled expression.
