161: The function of small tufts of hair

Uh... Gu Yuan looked at Yun Qingci with a somewhat dazed expression.

Wait, why did this Little Noodle follow them too?

Although he did say he wanted to change locations to talk...

But that was intended for those who had, well... deep relationships with him.

Cough, although his relationship with Little Noodle was also quite good.

But, well, these were two completely different kinds of relationships.

However, on second thought, Gu Yuan realized it might be a good thing that Little Noodle followed.

After all, with Little Noodle present, Qing Shang and the others would have to show some restraint, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan immediately nodded at Yun Qingci with a beaming smile.

This Little Noodle was sent by the heavens to save him.

Eh...?

Yun Qingci blinked blankly at this moment.

What was wrong with this guy Gu Yuan?

Wasn't she just questioning him a moment ago?

Why was he still looking at her with such a cheerful grin?

Has this guy changed his personality...?

"Tsk, as expected of Revered Master and Disciple. What's the matter, little girl? Do you like Gu Yuan too?"

Before Yun Qingci could continue her questioning, Ye Qingshang glanced at her and spoke indifferently.

Mmh...?

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingci's pretty face instantly turned beet red, and she waved her hands in a fluster.

"W-what nonsense are you talking about? H-how could I possibly like Gu Yuan? I, I don't!"

Yun Qingci's voice became somewhat stuttery.

She didn't even dare to look directly at Gu Yuan anymore.

However, her transparent attempt to cover things up made everyone present look at her with suspicion.

This girl clearly likes Gu Yuan!

This was the shared thought in the hearts of both Nether Moon and Ye Qingshang.

Dongfang Yingxue didn't associate it with that, only thinking that Luoying's Disciple was quite cute.

As for Di Luoying, she gazed at Yun Qingci with a slight frown.

Qing Ci... surely she wouldn't, right? Doesn't she hate Gu Yuan the most?

Feeling the gazes of everyone present falling upon her.

Yun Qingci felt her face becoming increasingly hot.

If she had known, she wouldn't have followed. Dammit... actually, Yun Qingci herself didn't know why she followed.

She didn't know what she was thinking; she had just followed along as if possessed.

Well, it wasn't like anyone stopped her... and... Yun Qingci stole a glance at her Revered Master.

Then, as if she had thought of an excuse, she immediately said with righteous conviction:

"I'm here to speak up for my Revered Master! Gu Yuan clearly has a Revered Master, yet he still has these unclear relationships with you all. Hmph, that's why I followed!"

Yun Qingci's words were so well-reasoned that she even believed them herself.

Right, exactly, that's it! I came for the sake of my Revered Master!

Uh... Ye Qingshang and Nether Moon both looked at Yun Qingci as if she were an idiot.

Does this child really think she's disguising herself well?

They both scoffed at her claim of speaking up for her Revered Master.

What it looks like when someone likes another person...

They knew it all too well.

"Qing Ci, actually you don't need to do this. Revered Master... well, Revered Master can handle it herself."

Di Luoying spoke softly, her gaze toward Yun Qingci becoming a few degrees warmer.

Eh... Hearing her Revered Master's gentle voice, Yun Qingci pursed her lips and gave her Revered Master a faint smile.

This scene of a kind Revered Master and a filial Disciple... well... Ye Qingshang and Nether Moon found it both funny and pitiable.

Does this Sword Immortal really not know, or is she just pretending?

This, this is just too naive, isn't it?

No wonder she was tricked into Gu Yuan's hands~

"Gu Yuan, are you very proud of yourself? You haven't answered the questions Luoying and Qing Ci asked you yet."

Dongfang Yingxue also thought the warm moment between Luoying and Qing Ci was nice.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught Gu Yuan seemingly gloating to himself.

So, Dongfang Yingxue spoke up with some annoyance.

Eh...?

Gu Yuan's expression instantly froze.

He looked at his Revered Master in disbelief.

Wait, Master Baby, you, how could you do this... Gu Yuan indeed was gloating just now.

Because he discovered that Little Noodle following them was truly wonderful.

See, now everyone's attention was drawn to her.

Wouldn't that mean he could fish in troubled waters?

He might even... just muddle through and escape this disaster entirely!

Yet, right as Gu Yuan was gloating, his dearest Master Baby actually pointed him out directly.

Revered Master, you have lost my love!

Gu Yuan spread his hands toward Dongfang Yingxue with a look of utter despair.

And he decided that he would definitely "teach her a lesson" in private later!

With Dongfang Yingxue's words, everyone's attention returned to Gu Yuan once more.

"This Revered Master and Disciple pair are right. Husband, do you have something to say?"

Ye Qingshang looked at Gu Yuan with a soft gaze, speaking with a beaming smile.

At the same time, she felt some confusion in her heart.

Dongfang Yingxue and that Revered Master-Disciple pair were one thing.

But Mingyue... why did she come over too?

Wait, could it be... Ye Qingshang suddenly remembered when she first met Mingyue.

She had told her that she had also been searching for someone.

At the time, she felt that she and Mingyue were so similar.

After all, they both had someone in their hearts for whom they would risk everything.

But looking at it now... the person they were both searching for was actually, actually the same person... This made Ye Qingshang feel very strange and conflicted.

Because she thought of when the two of them were pouring their hearts out to each other.

They had even encouraged each other, saying they would definitely find that person in the future.

And now... well, they found him, but it's the same damn person.

This... In fact, Nether Moon also felt extremely strange at this moment.

Because she also didn't quite know how to face Ye Qingshang.

Moreover, she understood Qing Shang's personality very well.

It was one of extreme possessiveness and pathological love.

She absolutely could not tolerate other women being by Gu Yuan's side.

But herself... wasn't she the same?

Nether Moon sighed, then glared fiercely at Gu Yuan.

It was all this hateful guy's fault.

Having her wasn't enough; he had to go around provoking other women.

Today, she absolutely could not let him off so easily!

"Yes, Gu Yuan, hurry up and speak. Can't you see we're all waiting for you? Hehe~"

Nether Moon spoke with a somewhat coquettish tone.

Under the table, Nether Moon even playfully used her bare feet to secretly rub against Gu Yuan.

When Gu Yuan looked over, Nether Moon winked at him, her every movement exuding soft charm.

This little vixen... Gu Yuan's body tensed up as he sighed helplessly in his heart.

And Mingyue really isn't afraid of others finding out.

Dammit, she's actually secretly seducing me in front of so many people... but... it seems this is actually quite exciting.

Cough cough...
