111: Little tuft of hair, you don't want others to hear this, do you?

Eh...?

Xi Nian blinked her eyes, her pretty face filled with astonishment.

Wait, you, how did you actually end up hugging him too?

You, you are the Sword Immortal of this generation; being as cold and aloof as the moon is supposed to be your description.

How, how did this turn into you holding Gu Yuan with me and then competing for favor?

Mm... After Di Luoying spoke, her face also felt a bit hot, but she forced herself to endure it.

After all, in front of this Little Saintess, Di Luoying didn't want to be looked down upon.

As for Gu Yuan... well, although he put on a helpless expression, he was actually overjoyed deep down.

He was even thinking secretly to himself that it would be best if they continued to target each other.

What's the point of just hugging me? Why not go to the bed and compete there...?

Cough, well... anyway, he was the one getting the most out of this.

Yeah, at a time like this, he should just keep quiet and reap the benefits in silence!

I'm simply a Genius.

"Mm... Revered Master, Xi Nian, aren't you two just letting Gu Yuan off easy? Look at him, he can barely keep the corners of his mouth from curling up!"

After the Junior Brothers and sisters left, Yun Qingci's expression returned to normal.

And so, she was now pointing at Gu Yuan's face, which couldn't stop smiling, as she spoke to Xi Nian and Revered Master.

Uh... The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he gave this Little Noodle an annoyed glare.

She really had to bring up the one thing I didn't want mentioned. I was just enjoying the company of two beauties, yet this Little Noodle had to expose it.

Hmm, it seems this little maid still has a long way to go before she is "trained" to be well-behaved!

As for Di Luoying and Xi Nian, their expressions stiffened slightly upon hearing Yun Qingci's words.

Oh right... Qing Ci is absolutely right. By doing this, aren't they just letting this bad fellow Gu Yuan get away with everything in the end!?

Thinking of this, the two women pushed Gu Yuan away almost simultaneously and left his embrace.

Then, they glared at Gu Yuan in unison.

Ha...?

Gu Yuan spread his hands, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Just a moment ago, he had soft fragrances in his arms, but now he was left all alone and empty.

"Luoying, let's go. Qing Ci is right, we shouldn't let Gu Yuan have it so easy~"

Xi Nian stuck her tongue out at Gu Yuan, then hugged Di Luoying's arm and said.

And Di Luoying nodded gently upon hearing this.

"Indeed, just a mere Gu Yuan. Hmph, he really got lucky. Let's go~"

Watching the two of them reconcile so quickly and walk away together, Gu Yuan opened his mouth in shock.

Wait, is this what friendship between women is like?

And... your speed at changing faces is way too fast!

Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly, then directly grabbed Yun Qingci, who was snickering on the side, and hauled her over.

"Little Noodle, come here. I have something good to show you!"

Eek... Caught off guard, Yun Qingci was already nabbed by Gu Yuan.

Mm... "Cough, Gu Yuan, ahaha, what a coincidence to meet you here. Um, Revered Master seemed to be calling me just now..."

Yun Qingci said sheepishly, but before she could finish, Gu Yuan gave her a hand chop to her little head.

"Don't try to change the subject. Today, I must teach you properly how to be a qualified little maid!"

Gu Yuan rolled his eyes and said.

Then, ignoring the Little Noodle's flailing and struggling, he just hauled her away.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, you, you can't do this! I, ugh... Revered Master, help..."

Yun Qingci's voice gradually drifted away until finally, no one could hear it anymore.

"Whew... Qing Ci is really brave. Mm... I'm impressed, truly impressed..."

After they had all left, Tian Mei finally came out from the corner.

She patted her chest and spoke with lingering fear.

At the same time, her tone was filled with admiration for Yun Qingci.

If it were her, she would only dare to gossip a few words in her heart.

But Yun Qingci was different; she actually dared to say it directly... Mm... I, Tian Mei, salute you as a true hero!

Tian Mei silently wished Qing Ci well in her heart.

After all, seeing this situation, who knows how Gu Yuan would "torture" Qing Ci... "Ma-Revered Master... Please, please! Drink! Tea!..."

In Yun Qingci's small courtyard.

Gu Yuan was lying lazily on a lounge chair. He stretched his body and then looked at Yun Qingci beside him.

At this moment, Yun Qingci was holding a cup of Spirit Tea and spoke respectfully.

But looking closely, one could see that Yun Qingci was forcing herself to calm down.

Her trembling hands, the tea spilling over because of it, and her voice through gritted teeth...

...all represented Yun Qingci's current annoyed yet helpless mood.

"Hmm... Didn't you see it's all spilled? Go, brew another cup for your Revered Master."

Gu Yuan just glanced at her casually and then spoke nonchalantly.

I... Yun Qingci took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.

I will endure!

You damn Gu Yuan, don't let me catch an opportunity!

Otherwise... hmph hmph, today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!

"Did you hear me? What are you standing there spacing out for?"

"Mm... Coming, coming. Nag, nag, nag, what's there to nag about?"

Yun Qingci suppressed the thoughts in her heart and said with a pout.

"Here, drink up. Hmph hmph, stinky Gu Yuan, you actually forced me to call you Revered Master. I, I will definitely tell Revered Master on you!"

Yun Qingci brewed another cup of tea and said after handing it to Gu Yuan.

Because she was in the wrong today, Gu Yuan had caught the opportunity.

Then... mm... in a state of half-willingness and half-resistance, she was tricked by him into calling him Revered Master.

Thinking about it now, Yun Qingci felt as if she had been possessed.

How could she have so easily... just... called this guy Revered Master!?

Damn Gu Yuan, how is he so good at tricking people!

At this thought, the way Yun Qingci looked at Gu Yuan became much more dangerous.

Should she take the chance to beat him up and make him lose this memory...?

"Oh...? Hehe, then Little Noodle, do you want to hear what this is?"

Gu Yuan just chuckled softly upon hearing this, then took out a shadow recording stone. After his Divine Sense entered it, Yun Qingci's voice from just now rang out:

"Revered Master, please have some tea..."

Eh!?

Hearing her own voice clearly saying "Revered Master" from the shadow recording stone, Yun Qingci was stunned on the spot.

"Wait, you, how could you use a shadow recording stone? This, this isn't right! You, you can't do this, I..."

Yun Qingci said blankly, while also trying to reach for the shadow recording stone.

But Gu Yuan was watching her the whole time; how could he let her succeed so easily?

Gu Yuan tucked the shadow recording stone back into his robe, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The way he looked at Yun Qingci became a bit more playful.

"Little Noodle, you wouldn't want Luoying, or your Junior Brothers and sisters, to hear that voice just now, would you?"
