At noon, the second floor of Jinghua Tianyu Cave Mansion.

Click——

In Bai Xue's room, there was suddenly the sound of the door lock being opened.

Lu Lingqiu's figure slowly walked out.

"Oops, it seems I overslept..."

Seeing the sky outside, he yawned and muttered helplessly.

Due to the targeted counseling given to Bai Xue last night, by the time everything was over, it was already late at night. In desperation, he agreed to stay here for the night at the girl's sincere invitation.

Fortunately, apart from the initial physical understanding, there was no excessive behavior between the two. However, it would be a bit unrealistic to sleep together without physical contact.

"So she's...so good."

Recalling the girl's nervous, shy and unprepared delicate figure, his face heated up, he quickly shook his head, and warned himself that it was just a guide for practice.

He raised his arms, preparing to stretch, in an attempt to dilute some of the charming memories. When he was halfway through the movement, he turned around and found that a petite figure had stopped beside him at some point.

I saw Yuan Xiaobu holding the broom with both hands, looking here with a shocked look on his face!

The slightly open mouth was full of disbelief:

"Lu, Lu... Palace Master Lu, good afternoon!"

It took a lot of effort for her to hold back the greeting, because at this moment, the cat's mind was completely confused——

"Oh my god! Why did he come out of Sister Bai Xue's room?!"

"Look at his sleepy look, he just woke up, right?!"

"Poor Sister Xing clearly told me that the master is not that kind of person! Could it be that...she is the only one who is still kept in the dark?! Should I go back immediately and tell her the truth..."

"No, no, she will go out alone with her master soon. Chaos will lead to change! For the sake of stable money, I... I'd better pretend not to know anything!"

The cat's mind was racing. After thinking quickly and making a decision, she raised her head nonchalantly and spoke to Lu Lingqiu who was in embarrassment:

"You came to visit Sister Bai Xue so early? It's really enviable~"

The girl looked innocent, as if she didn't think about anything else at all.

This made Lu Lingqiu feel relieved.

He coughed lightly, deliberately looked around at the clean ground around him, nodded and said:

"Well, it seems that you are also working hard. Xiaobu, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Okay~"

The cat smiled sweetly and stood aside to let Lu Lingqiu pass: "Well, Palace Master Lu, you are busy."

"Um."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Lingqiu did not stay any longer and walked directly down the stairs, apparently heading towards the Fenghua Mountain teleportation array.

Buzz——

Staring at his back, when the sound of the teleportation array gradually died down, Yuan Xiaobu quickly dropped the broom and ran towards the kitchen on the first floor!

Thumb thump thump thump...

"Sister Canglan! Sister Canglan! I, I have something to ask you!"

"Hey, I'm here!"

In the kitchen, Cang Lan, who was wearing a floral apron and sorting the ingredients, took a meal in her hands and looked back:

"Xiao Bu, why are you so anxious?"

I saw the cat running into the door panting, stroking its chest, widening its eyes and asking:

"Sister Canglan! I want to know, is the relationship between Sister Baixue and Palace Master Lu better than Sister Lianxing?!"

"ah?"

Hearing this, Cang Lan slowly put down the knife and carrots in his hands, and his eyes gradually narrowed:

"What happened? Why do you ask?"

"Uh, it's just, I, I saw..."

The cat wanted to know the answer, but was afraid of making things worse. He hesitated for a while and had no idea.

Seeing this, Cang Lan thought for a moment, then walked gently to her, bent down, and said softly:

"Don't worry, Xiaobu, I will never tell anyone what you told me."

"Huh?! Really!"

Yuan Xiaobu felt like her thoughts had been read. But after the last inquiry, she found that Sister Canglan is really nice!

He is both gentle and patient, and is willing to answer all kinds of private questions he asks!

Thinking of this, she blushed, finally made up her mind, nodded and said:

"That, that's good! Then I said it!"

"Um."

Cang Lan smiled softly at her, feeling very curious in her heart.

The cat turned around and quietly closed the door. After confirming that there was no one in the hall outside the kitchen, he lowered his voice and said:

"Just, just now! I saw Palace Master Lu come out of Sister Bai Xue's room!"

"Ah??" Cang Lan was stunned when she heard this.

"Moreover, he looked tired and disheveled. He looked like he had just woken up! I suspected... that he might have picked up Sister Bai Xue's brand..."

Yuan Xiaobu shook his hands and analyzed calmly like an adult:

"And as far as I know, Sister Lianxing has never been treated like this! She told me that she was the spirit envoy who joined Jinghua Palace earlier than Sister Baixue!"

"this……"

Hearing such heavy gossip, Cang Lan couldn't help but feel extremely surprised and murmured:

"Indeed, the relationship between Lianxing and the master should not have developed to this level yet..."

She knew very well that if what Yuan Xiaobu said was true, then the problem would be huge.

In her eyes, Bai Xue's image has always been that of a third-generation spirit envoy who is virtuous, gentle, helpful, and good at observing, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible so as not to be noticed by other sisters.

She has never seen her having any special interactions with her master, but now, she has unknowingly gained the upper hand?!

Cang Lan frowned slightly and pondered:

"Speaking of which, the recent white snow is indeed a bit strange."

She recalled the details of the several meetings she had with Bai Xue before this meeting of spiritual envoys, and she later realized:

"She looks... she often looks distracted, as if she has something on her mind... If I have to say it, she looks a bit like a young girl who has been moved by true feelings."

"! Right, right?! I'll just say it! I won't be wrong, meow!"

The cat beat its hands and feet very eagerly:

"Oh, Sister Canglan! Tell me, what should we do?"

"Ah? What should I do..."

Cang Lan was a little confused: "Xiao Bu, don't you have feelings for the master too..."

"?! No, it's not!"

Yuan Xiaobu was so frightened that his cat ears trembled, and he waved his hands to deny:

"I just came here a few days ago, how could I be as debauched as the seniors suspected!

...I, I am just worried about Sister Lianxing from her perspective! Really!"

"Yeah……?"

Seeing Cang Lan's face full of disbelief, she added, "Of course! Just like senior, you will worry about Sister Asuka! We all have people we care about, right!"

"...This is true."

Cang Lan nodded slightly, no longer entangled in this, and just sighed:

"However, how can I say that Bai Xue was able to achieve this in such a complicated environment..."

In fact, her attitude toward this incident was more one of admiration than surprise.

——Yes, she deeply admires Bai Xue's achievements.

Although Cang Lan joined the Jinghua Palace not long ago, she is well aware of how turbulent the undercurrent is hidden under the harmonious appearance of this sect.

Not talking about the third generation who are keeping each other in check around him, just talking about the second generation, there are already several pairs of eyes staring at the master.

We are all like seasoned hunters, always guarding the most delicious prey in the world, looking for the best opportunity.

What's more, above the second generation, there are first-generation seniors who are as daunting as Sister Hualing.

I have to say that it is... unimaginable that Bai Xue could obtain the favor of his master in such a complicated situation.

"Xiao Bu, this matter must not be spread to outsiders. Especially not let Mu Qing and Lian Xing know about it, otherwise it will be very difficult for Bai Xue to do it in the future."

Cang Lan reminded kindly.

"Yeah, I understand!
