That night, Gu Xingyun still didn't wait for anyone.
The next morning, Yan Huailiu returned to his residence yawning. When he saw Gu Xingyun sorting clothes in the room, he was a little scared.
But he didn't say much and went straight to the closet to choose clothes.
Gu Xingyun rushed over as fast as he could: "Master, Jinxiu Pavilion specially made a set of clothes for you a few days ago that are suitable for today, and all kinds of accessories are also complete..."
He took out the pile of things and waited for Yan Huailiu to choose.
Shangguan Rui must have put a lot of thought into it, as she specially used gold thread to embroider the Yuxu Sect's crest on the light-colored clothes, and also added a lot of small patterns on the cuffs and collar.
He was also given a thin red robe to choose from, and even the accessories came in a variety of different patterns.
It’s quite what I want.
"Then wear this." As soon as Yan Huailiu stretched out his hand, Gu Xingyun took the clothes away and served him personally.
Yan Huailiu was used to it. After changing, he sat down next to his apprentice and waited for him to tie his hair.
In the middle, I reflected for a few seconds: I have been spoiled so much that I am too lazy to do anything myself.
"Didn't the people from Jinxiu Pavilion come?"
He shook his head in front of the mirror, wanting to see how the crown would look, and then asked casually.
"No, I just asked someone to send a gift. Jinxiu Pavilion has been very busy. I heard that they recently received several large orders. I really don't have time."
Gu Xingyun patiently pulled out a small strand of hair and braided a small braid for Yan Huailiu. Finally, he hung a moon accessory the size of a fingernail at the bottom of the braid.
Yan Huailiu didn't notice, slapping his face hard and muttering softly: "I'm still so sleepy."
Gu Xingyun went to the side and fetched a handkerchief soaked in cold water and handed it to him: "Master, do you want Pavilion Master Shangguan to come over? It should still be in time if we go and invite him now."
"No need." Yan Huailiu pressed the handkerchief to his face and forced himself to wake up. "Just asking. I thought if she came over, she would definitely bring the girl next to her...what's her name? With her, I just took this opportunity to let Xinghua get to know her."
Gu Xingyun swallowed the man's name and tried to hint: "Junior brother, you shouldn't be thinking about these issues in the past few years."
Yan Huailiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, he's still young and has a lot of things to do, so let's wait two years and see."
He looked at Gu Xingyun's overly obedient appearance in the mirror and asked in a low voice: "I plan to pass the position of sect leader to Xinghua in the future. What do you think?"
Gu Xingyun replied with a smile: "Then I guess Junior Brother Ling will become the second Junior Uncle. He has already learned how to curse."
With so many things to do, his junior brother must be annoyed to death.
Seeing that Gu Xingyun did not show any dissatisfaction and was just teasing him, Yan Huailiu didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.
He sighed softly and continued with a smile, "Not necessarily. He wouldn't dare point his finger at me and curse me like your Junior Master-Uncle did. The only time I've seen him lose his temper in all these years was when I called him Ling Ruoshui."
Gu Xingyun was also amused: "Master knows very well that he doesn't like being called that."
"It's not me who gave him the name. He doesn't want to change it when I asked him to, and he doesn't allow anyone to call him by it..." Yan Huailiu complained in a low voice.
Yan Huailiu found it amusing to think of his second disciple's face flushed with shame and anger when he was a child, but he didn't dare to refute.
Gu Xingyun lowered his head and quietly played with Yan Huailiu's braid, enjoying this rare good time.
Yan Huailiu turned to look at him, and he quickly let go: "Master? What's wrong?"
"Is this what you're wearing?"
He was in tatters and looked like a coal miner standing next to him.
Gu Xingyun looked at his clothes and said, "I haven't had time to change yet."
"Where are those clothes I asked Jinxiu Pavilion to make for you? Why aren't you wearing them? You've been wearing these clothes for years, and they have so many marks of mending. If someone sees them, they'll think we're broke."
The tone was a bit fierce, but Gu Xingyun was happy to hear it: "Master, disciple will change it right away."
He has been living like this for many years. Even though he now has so many new clothes in his wardrobe that he can change them every day, he still can't bear to do so.
Whether it was clothes or people, he always had a deep sense of unworthiness.
Yan Huailiu looked helpless, not wanting to think about why Gu Xingyun's clothes appeared in his closet. He just watched him change before asking, "Where's Chang Huan? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
Gu Xingyun was hanging the jade pendant around his waist, and his voice became much quieter.
"Junior Master... he should be with Fairy Fei Miao. He's probably in the main hall right now."
He couldn't just tell Baili Changhuan that what happened that day was witnessed by him, and it might have caused him some harm.
After all, when Ling Xinghua wrote a letter to Yuehua Pavilion two days ago, the letter he received contained only a resentful "get out" from his junior uncle.
Poor Junior Brother Ling was depressed for several days, not knowing how he had offended Junior Uncle.
His master was also thin-skinned. Just calling him a little moon could make him disappear for a few days. If he knew about this, he would never see his master again for a whole year.
"When did he become so close to Fei Miao?" Yan Huailiu muttered softly, without thinking much about it. He tidied his clothes and prepared to open the door to go out.
Before leaving the yard, he suddenly thought of this time a year ago, and became angry belatedly, raising his hand and punching Gu Xingyun.
Gu Xingyun didn't even ask and quickly shook his hand: "Does it hurt? There's an embroidered pattern here. Master, please choose a different place to hit next time."
Yan Huailiu:?
Forget it, why bother with him.
"Don't follow me. There are so many people coming, Xinghua can't handle it all by himself." Yan Huailiu signaled his apprentice to go and help quickly.
Gu Xingyun nodded obediently, took a few steps and turned back: "Master, can you leave the evening time for me? I want to give you a gift alone."
Yan Huailiu glared at him first, then agreed reluctantly: "Alright, you're the one who has too many things to do."
What are you asking?
If we don't leave it to him at this time, will we leave it to those irrelevant people?
Gu Xingyun retreated again and childishly extended his hand: "Master, it's a deal, let's pinky promise."
Yan Huailiu: ...
"How old are you? Jingming has never done such a childish thing."
Despite being scolded, he still cooperated very well and completed the pinky sign and stamping actions.
After Gu Xingyun walked away, he lowered his head to look at his hands, the corners of his lips raised, and his tone revealed a lightness: "Childish."
He didn't know what he could do before the banquet officially started. After all, such occasions never required him to worry about anything.
Not wanting to go to the main hall so early and face that crowd, he simply started wandering around. After a few steps, he saw a group of disciples hurriedly running towards the competition venue.
Yan Huailiu grabbed one of them casually and asked, "What's wrong?"
The young disciple's face flushed red: "Sect, Sect Master... I have completed all the tasks assigned to me by Senior Brother Ling, so I came to watch the fun..."
Yan Huailiu looked confused: "What are you looking at?"
