Jiang Yi put his other hand on hers as well, "Xiangyun, this is a good idea. Then I'll have a boyfriend from now on."
Hua Xiangyun: "But isn't this a bit too fast? Didn't you say before..."
Jiang Yi said, "That's just what we say to the outside world. You're still young, so I can wait."
Hua Xiangyun, “…” That’s not what you said before. How did I agree to that in such a muddle?
Wait, what did I promise? I don't think I promised anything.
Hua Xiangyun was completely bewildered. Had this senior brother studied some kind of psychology before? How did she end up being led by the nose by him?
Jiang Yi didn't give her time to think. "With what you said, I can't be considered a liar. From now on, I can openly tell those people that I already have a boyfriend."
By the way, when is your birthday? You should be turning eighteen this year, right?
Hua Xiangyun had a bit of a headache. How did things get to this point? "It'll be in the eleventh month. What about you?"
Jiang Yi said, "What a coincidence, I'm also in the winter month. Write down your birth date and time for me later, and I'll do some calculations then."
Hua Xiangyun glared at him, "Are birth dates and times still accurate for us these days?"
Jiang Yi hadn't really thought about this question. "Then let's go by what I've already calculated before. We're a match made in heaven."
Hua Xiangyun, "..." This information was a bit overwhelming, and she felt a little flustered...
Jiang Yi, however, pushed her along, saying, "Let's go see if your master has returned. Aren't you supposed to be setting up your stall? I'll go with you."
"You even know this?" Hua Xiangyun felt that she hadn't given anything away; she had already gone twice, and her family didn't know.
Jiang Yi: "If you put your mind to it, there's nothing you won't know."
Hua Xiangyun: "I didn't know you had so much free time right now."
Jiang Yi: "As long as I want to, I will always have time."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he doesn't know if there will be another life. Right now, he just wants to seize the moment.
Hua Xiangyun had already grasped everything as soon as she arrived in the county town on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Hua Xiangyun was still worried because she hadn't seen Wu Chenxi. Even if it was just visiting relatives and friends, it was already February, and it was impossible to stay away for such a long time.
"Don't worry!" Jiang Yi reassured him. "If something really happens, they should be able to get a message back. This country is so vast, and with the current inconvenient transportation, it will take a while."
Hua Xiangyun said, "But this has taken too long, more than a month."
What's most worrying is that she has no idea how to contact or search for them.
“If you’re worried, I can come and check on you every two days,” Jiang Yi suggested. “It’s spring now, and the roads are easy to travel. I can just ride my bike there.”
Moreover, he has much more convenient access to transportation than Hua Xiangyun, so he considers it a form of exercise.
Hua Xiangyun didn't stand on ceremony with him, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."
"Didn't we agree not to call him 'Senior Brother'?" Jiang Yi reminded him. "Just call him Brother Yi."
Hua Xiangyun rolled her eyes at him and followed his lead in changing her address, but she decided that she should decide how to address him. "Comrade Jiang, given our current relationship, this title is just right."
Jiang Yi didn't care; he figured he'd eventually change his tune.
Hua Xiangyun was unaware that Wu Chenxi had appeared in the courtyard not long after they left.
Several ear-popping experts were chattering away, reporting on her little apprentice's daily life these days.
"You mean a boy came with her?" Wu Chenxi ignored Wenjie's trivial matters and was curious about the bad boy these people were talking about.
“We’ll lie to you,” Ye Ajin said somewhat exaggeratedly. “We figured if you didn’t come back soon, your apprentice might have run off with someone else.”
"What are you saying?" Fang Qinghe kicked him into a corner. "Don't listen to his nonsense. That kid is too cunning, and the young master is a bit naive. He'll probably be tricked."
They all mean the same thing; you're just saying it more tactfully, which makes you seem more capable. Ye Ajin was unconvinced, but dared not say it aloud.
“We’ve all been there. Boys have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to winning over girls.” Ye Ajin was enjoying the show, but also wanted to stir things up.
Wu Chenxi said, "It seems you guys are too idle. Haven't you been doing nothing but keeping an eye on Xiao Xiangyun these days?"
Ye Ajin said, "You're being wronged. We've kept a close watch on this area at the end of the county for you. Apart from Old Man Wen passing away, there hasn't been a single change."
Wu Chenxi asked, "Does that young man named Jiang Yi also know about your existence?"
Ye Ajin was startled. "Although he didn't say it outright, that kid harbors ill intentions towards us."
Especially the talismans on the doors and windows of Hua Xiangyun's room, which that kid hung up himself, their purpose was quite obvious.
"Also a cultivator?" Fang Qinghe was somewhat surprised. How come she hadn't noticed at all?
“You’ve been too lax these days,” Wu Chenxi shook her head. “The other party didn’t hide anything at all. Didn’t you say that he had already made sure Xiangyun’s room was securely guarded on his first visit?”
Anyone without some skill wouldn't be able to figure out what's going on here.
Wu Chenxi also fell into deep thought, and she had some guesses about where Hua Xiangyun came from.
She didn't deny everything, and even stated that she already had a sect, so it seems that she might not be the only one who came here.
If Wu Chenxi had a list of Xuan Masters in this area, Jiang Yi would definitely not be on it.
"Go to the county town tonight and tell Xiangyun that I'm back." Wu Chenxi tossed a seal to Fang Qinghe. With this seal, she could move freely within the county town.
"Then I'm fortunate to be able to visit the county town thanks to the young master." Fang Qinghe looked at the seal in his palm with a pleased expression.
Normally, their activity area is limited to the end of the county, so this opportunity is truly rare. You can see the envious looks from all the spirits.
"Should we call the young master over?" Fang Qinghe asked.
Wu Chenxi said, "No rush, I remember he should already be in class now."
"Let her come over this weekend, so I can share some of my knowledge about formations with her."
Thinking about it, she really failed in her duty as a teacher. She took in an apprentice, taught her for a few days, and then disappeared.
It seems I haven't taught her enough formations before. Maybe I should teach her more this time so she has more time to figure them out. That way, if I have to go out, she won't waste time.
This is her first time being a mentor, and she's going out to learn from others. She's afraid of doing something wrong and scaring away her new apprentice.
Although this trip took a long time, it was quite fruitful.
She retrieved things she used to think were useless and had carelessly tossed into a corner; she couldn't use them, but her apprentices could.
After dealing with several souls and removing her disguise, Wu Chenxi began to organize her gains from this trip.
Looking at the room full of things, he simply put them all into his storage ring, leaving it for his apprentice to sort out at his own pace.
