Chapter 233 Staying Overnight



The moment Yan Huailiu lowered his head, Gu Xingyun quickly put the things away.

"If Junior Master is free these days, you can come visit me more often."

In front of the two of them, he directly invited them.

Yan Huailiu yawned and began to speak in a soft voice to defend his apprentice without even understanding the situation.

"Yes, Junior Brother, Xingyun is quite bored there by himself. You can go and chat with him more. There are also many foods there, which is not worse than your Wuya Peak."

He held onto Gu Xingyun's hand and stood up, shaking his head: "Did I fall asleep again? I've been too sleepy these past few days, probably because I didn't get enough rest."

Gu Xingyun helped him tidy up his hair and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face: "It's okay, Master, if you are tired, just rest more."

After a few minutes, Yan Huailiu finally regained consciousness. He smiled and looked at his gloomy-looking junior brother next to him: "Did you find what you were looking for?"

"No." Baili Changhuan took a deep breath and calmed himself. "It's getting late. I'll take you back."

"Oh, no need to send him off, I'll take him back." Yan Huailiu took two steps, turned around and went back to collect some of the remaining books on the bookshelf: "I have to take these with me, and continue reading tomorrow."

As usual, Baili Changhuan led the way in front, and Yan Huailiu walked slowly with his apprentice.

The sun was shining brightly when I came, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse when I left.

"Chang Huan." Yan Huailiu called out, and only continued speaking after seeing the person in front of him turned his head.

"I just remembered that Little Lightning goes to the back mountain with Jingming to wait for the Green Grass on the 15th of every month. They stay there all night. If you want to find it, you can go there in advance."

"Or, I can ask Baldy to help you find it. His eyesight is pretty good. Um...it should be the 15th tomorrow night, right?"

Gu Xingyun immediately responded: "Yes, tomorrow is the fifteenth."

Baili Changhuan said "oh" and replied absentmindedly: "I know."

When they got back, he naturally followed the two into the room and looked around: "This room is quite clean, are you going to live here?"

Gu Xingyun stuffed a small basin full of grapes into Yan Huailiu's arms. He nodded worriedly, "Yes."

"Then where does he live?" Baili Changhuan asked, pointing at Gu Xingyun who was packing his clothes.

Yan Huailiu placed the basin of washed grapes on the table and said in a weaker voice, "Do you really have to ask this question even though you already know the answer?"

He doesn't want to listen when I tell him, and gets angry when he hears the truth, but he still has to open his mouth.

Baili Changhuan gritted his teeth: "Don't you have any sense of defense?"

No wonder he was schemed against by a bastard so much younger than him and still doesn't know about it.

Yan Huailiu quickly glanced at Gu Xingyun and confirmed that his apprentice was still bending over to tidy up his clothes. Then he patted Baili Changhuan and reminded him in a low voice.

"Don't say such things. He will be sad if he hears them. He is not a bad person."

"Huh?" Baili Changhuan doubted his life and wanted to find someone to beat up.

"Master, I have already cleaned up the room across from the study. It's so late, why not let Junior Uncle stay overnight? It's too tiring running back and forth."

Gu Xingyun closed the wardrobe door and spoke in a sincere tone.

Baili Changhuan immediately exploded: "Who wants to stay here? How desperate am I to..."

Gu Xingyun glanced at him and touched his waist. Baili Changhuan immediately shut up.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Xingyun continued to give him an excuse: "Young Master, aren't you looking for that kitten? It's more convenient to stay here, and it won't delay things."

Yan Huailiu wanted to ease the relationship between the two, so he quickly persuaded them: "Yes, Junior Brother, Tutu will come over for dinner in the morning, and you can tell him then and ask him for help."

He pushed the bunch of grapes on the table over and said, "You can eat something if you stay."

Baili Changhuan nodded reluctantly: "Alright, but you'd better not let me hear anything I shouldn't hear!"

Yan Huailiu's face suddenly turned red, he smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

Gu Xingyun stood up and said, "Junior Master, I'll take you to the room. If there's anything missing, you can tell me. Master, there are a few books over there on the bamboo bed. Can you help me put them away in the study?"

"Oh, okay." Yan Huailiu quickly stood up and took his apprentice's arm after Baili Changhuan left. He reminded him in a very low voice: "He has a bad temper. If he scolds people or complains about the room, don't pay attention to him."

"Yes, disciple knows." Gu Xingyun replied obediently.

Yan Huailiu motioned him to lower his head and whispered into his apprentice's ear: "Your room is definitely cleaner than his usual room. I've seen his room, it's so messy there's no place to step, so don't pay attention to what he says."

Gu Xingyun's eyes softened a bit: "Okay, disciple understands."

He leaned a little closer: "But, when has Master ever been to Junior Uncle's room? What did he do there?"

A black shadow came towards the two of them with the sound of wind. Gu Xingyun reacted quickly, reached out to catch it, and when he looked closely, he found it was a longan.

Baili Changhuan's impatient voice came from outside the door: "We're stuck together every day, isn't that enough?"

Yan Huailiu quickly stood up and walked out as if nothing had happened. When he passed by his junior brother, he even said deliberately: "Oh, the moon is so big tonight."

Baili Changhuan: ...

Are you sick?

He was forced to follow Gu Xingyun into the room and close the door.

Although asking him to stay was just an excuse, Gu Xingyun still did not omit the necessary courtesy.

"Uncle Junior Master, the bedding is all new. The temperature here is quite low. If you feel cold, there are extra quilts in the cabinet. You can take them out and use them."

Baili Changhuan waved his hand: "Alright, you don't need to say anything."

He walked to the window, looked out, and closed the window after making sure that Yan Huailiu was not there.

"He won't come in suddenly?"

"No, Master will finish tidying up the bookshelf and reading the book he was halfway through during the day. He won't be here for a while."

After Gu Xingyun finished his reply, he added, "Even if he came, Master would knock on the door beforehand. He wouldn't just kick the door open like Junior Uncle did."

Baili Changhuan cursed softly and stretched out his hand towards Gu Xingyun: "Give me your broken mirror."

Gu Xingyun held the Lingxu Mirror and warned him before placing it in his hand: "Junior Master, if it gets bumped, both Master and I will get hurt."

"I know!" Baili Changhuan replied impatiently, his movements becoming a little gentler.

The candle on the table flickered twice, emitting a few sparks.

Baili Changhuan carefully studied the patterns on the back with the help of the light. When he saw the black petals clearly, his movements froze instantly.

He couldn't believe it and moved the Lingxu Mirror closer to the light source. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he looked up at Gu Xingyun, his voice trembling: "When you got it, it was not purified?"
