"Master, what are we doing here?"

Walking on the street, Feng Lingxue looked at Feng Shao who was walking next to her with curiosity and couldn't help asking.

Just after noon, Feng Shao found Feng Lingxue and said he had something to talk to her about. Feng Lingxue thought Feng Shao wanted to test her homework and was really nervous for a while, but unexpectedly Feng Shao took her directly to the small town closest to the new city.

This small town doesn't have the grandeur of the new city, but it has a lot more fireworks and is much more lively than the deserted new city. Walking on the street, Feng Lingxue's mood, which had been a little lonely due to the desertedness during this period, became much more cheerful.

But she was still very curious why her master suddenly brought her here.

Along the way, Feng Shao kept looking around, as if he was looking for something. But from Feng Shao's perspective, what value could the small items on the stall have?

Hearing Feng Lingxue's question, Feng Shao did not retract his gaze, but just smiled faintly and said: "Xue'er, Master needs your help with something."

Feng Lingxue was immediately happy when she heard this. The master actually wanted to ask her for something? Then she really had to perform well!

So she asked with a smile: "Then I wonder how I can help Master?"

Feng Shao did not answer directly, but asked: "Xue'er, you have been very close to your master's wife recently, right?"

Feng Lingxue blinked her eyes: "It's very close! Master's wife taught me a lot of things! Why did Master suddenly talk about this?"

Feng Shao's expression became a little awkward: "Well... Xue'er, actually, although I have such a beautiful fiancée as your master's wife, I actually have no experience in communicating with girls, and I don't know much about girls' preferences. Usually, you have the best relationship with your master's wife, so the master wants to consult you, what gift can make your master's wife the happiest?"

The smile on Feng Lingxue's face suddenly froze.

She curled her lips and asked in a slightly stiff tone, "Master, do you want to give Master's Wife a gift?"

Feng Shao nodded solemnly and added: "You don't know yet, right? Today is your master's wife's birthday."

"Oh, so that's it..." Feng Lingxue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long while, Feng Lingxue raised his head and asked in a low voice: "Master, I have a question for you."

Feng Shao nodded: "You go ahead."

Feng Lingxue pursed her lips and said, "What is Master's Wife like in Master's heart?"

Feng Shao thought for a moment, and a gentle look appeared on his face: "Your master's wife, she is really childish sometimes, like a little girl who never grows up. Sometimes I even wonder when she will mature? But when I think of her mature appearance, I suddenly feel that it is actually good for her to be like this now, carefree. If there are any difficulties and troubles, I will solve them for her, and she just needs to continue to be carefree!"

Feng Lingxue forced a smile: "It seems that Master wants to raise Master's Wife as a daughter!"

Feng Shao said calmly: "Your master's wife has been saying she wants to marry me since she was eight years old. At that time, I just thought she was just talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect that we would really get engaged. From the age of eight to sixteen, your master's wife waited for me for eight years. Your master's wife is devoted to me, so I naturally can't let her down, and I must do everything I can to pamper her."

"Then...will Master have another Taoist partner in the future?"

Feng Shao laughed and said, "Having your master's wife is already the luck of my life, how can I be greedy for more? If I have thoughts about other women, I will be sorry for your master's wife's deep love for me!"

"Is that so..." Feng Lingxue murmured.

"By the way, Xue'er, why do you suddenly ask this?" Feng Shao asked curiously.

Feng Lingxue laughed: "Nothing, it's just that I suddenly envy Master's Wife! Regardless of whether Master's Wife is childish or not, Master loves her, and only loves her. If it were me, I really wouldn't want to change it for anything!"

Feng Shao turned his head to look at Feng Lingxue, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Xue'er, you are my disciple, so there are some truths that I should explain to you. In this world, everyone desires to obtain a unique status, regardless of gender. Although your master's wife is the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion, if you put aside your status, there is actually no difference between you. It's just that in my eyes, she is unique and irreplaceable. One day, you will meet someone who is willing to hold you in the palm of his hand, do everything to pamper you, and treat you as the only one."

Feng Lingxue stared at Feng Shao in a daze, feeling extremely confused for a moment.

So Master actually knew this all along?

At this point, Feng Shao suddenly laughed. He patted Feng Lingxue's little head and said softly, "Xue'er, you are almost fourteen years old. In the countryside, you should be old enough to marry into a family. But in my eyes, you are still just a child. You will misunderstand some things, such as mistaking the feeling of dependence for some kind of emotion. But when you grow up and think back to what you think now, will you think that your current thoughts are too naive and immature?"

After all, Feng Shao was the eldest brother who had raised an entire sect's disciples. How could he not understand the throbbing in the hearts of teenagers when they first fell in love? So in fact, Feng Shao had noticed very early on that Feng Lingxue had feelings for him that went beyond the relationship between a master and a disciple.

Feng Shao could understand Feng Lingxue's special feelings, but he didn't think that Feng Lingxue's feelings were love, and it would be more appropriate to say that it was dependence.

Think about it, a girl who is struggling to survive with her brother in difficult situations, and finally gets help from others in despair, that sudden feeling of dependence, how can one not be fascinated by it?

But if you say this is love, then it may not be. Feng Lingxue has always mistaken this kind of gratitude and dependence as love, which has led to her gradual emotional confusion. So what Feng Shao has to do now is to let Feng Lingxue come out.

However, for this kind of thing, blocking is worse than letting go. Feng Shao couldn't just cut off Feng Lingxue's thoughts right away. That kind of simple and rough response would only lead Feng Lingxue into a dead end. So he had to carefully enlighten her and guide Feng Lingxue correctly in the way of an experienced person.

Sure enough, after Feng Shao's guidance, Feng Lingxue seemed to be thinking about something, and it seemed that she was seriously thinking about her feelings towards her master.

But just when Feng Shao thought that his advice should have an effect, Feng Lingxue suddenly said, "So, Master has always treated me as his daughter?"

"Well... that's actually not wrong." Feng Shao was stunned for a moment and then replied.

"But Master treats Master's Wife as his own daughter. So, in Master's eyes, I and Master's Wife are the same?" Feng Lingxue asked immediately.

Feng Shao: “…”

How come this is still unclear?

Feng Shao suddenly felt a headache. Was this considered digging a hole for himself?

Seeing Feng Shao speechless, Feng Lingxue suddenly laughed, "Master, I understand what you mean. In fact, now that I think about it, I am lucky to be able to be your disciple. I can't ask for more. If you can treat me like your daughter, then it will be a blessing for you!"

At this point, Feng Lingxue bowed deeply to Feng Shao and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Feng Shao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a look of relief: "I'm glad you can figure it out."

After Feng Shao's guidance, Feng Lingxue suddenly became much more cheerful, and the previous sense of alienation disappeared in an instant. She took Feng Shao's arm and said with a smile: "Since today is Master's wife's birthday, Master must pick a good gift for Master's wife!"

Actually, it was not Feng Shao who taught Feng Lingxue the most, but Lin Xiaoran. This girl, who was only two years older than Feng Lingxue, taught her almost everything she knew about cultivation, which benefited Feng Lingxue a lot. At this moment, Feng Lingxue thought of how Lin Xiaoran taught her without reservation, but she developed feelings for her master that she shouldn't have. This made Feng Lingxue feel particularly guilty, and she was even more determined to be good to her master's wife in the future!

Better than treating Master!

At this time, Feng Shao was completely unaware that Feng Lingxue had quietly leaned towards Lin Xiaoran.

Feng Lingxue and Lin Xiaoran were not much different in age, and they spent a lot of time together, so their preferences were more or less similar. With the help of Feng Lingxue, Feng Shao finally chose a birthday gift for Lin Xiaoran.

A beautifully shaped jade hairpin.

Of course, the jade hairpin Feng Shao chose was definitely not ordinary. It was a jade hairpin magic weapon that he got from a street stall through the Tianhua Jade Slip. This jade hairpin can help its owner resist the full force attack of a strong person who is one level higher than himself, and it can be used repeatedly, but it requires a cooling time of twelve hours, which can be called an excellent life-saving magic weapon.

Feng Shao, who had picked up a lot of treasures in the San Sheng Tower, was not short of money. He generously gave ten thousand taels of silver to a street vendor, which moved the vendor so much that he burst into tears and almost knelt down to Feng Shao on the spot.

After buying the jade hairpin, Feng Shao and Feng Lingxue returned to the new city together.
