After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 350 Tangled

Tianyao Peak.

In the alchemy room, Li Yue sat cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace, her gaze fixed on her white index finger, her eyes blank and lost in thought.

"Master."

"Master."

"Master!!!"

Li Yue's mind was shaken suddenly, and she came to her senses suddenly. Her face was full of helplessness and anger, and she looked at Ling Yuexi who was nearby with a bad temper.

"Master, why are you so absent-minded lately?"

Ling Yuexi tilted her head slightly, her face full of worry.

"Is there...is there? Maybe it's because Master was too engrossed in refining the medicine."

Li Yue turned her head slightly and raised her hand to tidy up the loose hair on her temples.

"But... there aren't any medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace."

Ling Yuexi raised her brows slightly and stared at Li Yue closely, her eyes full of confusion and inquiry.

"Master... I'm still thinking about the recipe. Ahem, by the way, is there anything Yuexi wants to talk to me about?"

Li Yue looked flustered, coughed twice, and quickly changed the subject.

"..."

"This is the medicine scripture that Master made me copy yesterday as punishment."

Ling Yuexi took out a large stack of rice paper and handed it to Li Yue.

"Are you familiar with the content?"

Li Yue took the stack of rice paper nonchalantly, flipped through a few sheets and glanced at them quickly, then asked casually.

"In reply to Master, I have already memorized the contents of the Medicine Sutra by heart."

Ling Yuexi puffed out her chest slightly, her face brimming with confidence.

"Very good. Next, I will teach you how to refine the Infant Condensation Pill."

Li Yue nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Ningying Pill? This is already a sixth-grade pill, disciple..."

Ling Yuexi shook her head violently, a look of resistance on her face.

"How long have you been stuck at the level of a fifth-grade alchemist? Look at your Junior Brother Lin again. Aren't you ashamed of being his senior sister?"

Liyue frowned, feigning anger.

"really……"

Ling Yuexi bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and her tone was full of grievance.

"Master only has Junior Brother Lin in his eyes now, and he doesn't like anything about me. Well, since Master looks down on me so much, I'll just leave."

After saying that, she threw her sleeves in a huff, her eyes slightly red, and turned around and walked out the door.

"Come back and make the elixir."

Li Yue's tone was calm, yet it held a sense of authority.

"Oh."

Ling Yuexi responded softly, her head drooping as she sat down dejectedly beside Li Yue.

"Look, first..."

……

After an unknown amount of time, there was another "boom" sound, and the sound of explosion was heard again from inside the alchemy furnace.

"What time is it now?"

Li Yue suddenly woke up from her healing, with a barely perceptible urgency in her tone.

"Master, it's already midnight."

At this time, Ling Yuexi was covered in dust and looked a little embarrassed, but she was still concentrating on putting the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace.

"You continue to practice. I have something to do and need to go out for a while."

Li Yue looked hurried. After giving a brief explanation, she hurried out the door in a flash.

"Master used to stay at home whenever possible, and always asked me to run errands. What is he doing out here in the middle of the night? Could it be..."

Ling Yuexi frowned and muttered softly.

At this moment, a familiar smell of burnt food wafted into his nose again, followed by another sharp explosion from the alchemy furnace.

"..."

"Anyway, this Infant Condensation Pill won't be refined in a short while. It's too dangerous for Master to go out alone at night. As his disciple, I should secretly protect Master."

Ling Yuexi murmured softly, quickly stood up, and followed in the direction Li Yue left.

The silver moon is bright and the stars are shining.

Ling Yuexi soon spotted Li Yue's figure. What was strange was that Li Yue had been in a hurry when she left before, but now she was walking slowly and dragging her steps. There were even several times when she seemed to want to turn around and return to Tianyao Peak.

"Master, are you going out so late at night just to exercise?"

The more Ling Yuexi looked, the more puzzled she became, and the doubts in her heart grew like weeds.

"Hey, it's just healing a wound, not doing anything else!"

Li Yue gritted her teeth, her expression becoming resolute again as she began to walk forward. However, after only two steps, she stopped and turned in another direction.

"Master, this is..."

Ling Yuexi hid in the dark and saw Li Yue suddenly change direction. The doubt in her eyes instantly became more intense.

"Could it be that he has two companions and doesn't know which one to go to?"

……

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."

The sound of the gurgling stream is particularly clear in the quiet night. On the surface of the stream, the reflection of the silver moon sways gently with the waves, breaking into pieces and circles.

Li Yue leaned over, scooped up a handful of stream water, and gently washed her face. Then she quickly formed seals with her hands, condensed a water mirror with her spiritual power, and carefully dressed up in front of the water mirror.

After a long while, Li Yue looked at the water mirror, frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not very satisfied with her makeup tonight.

So she leaned over again, dipped her delicate hands into the water, scooped up a handful of stream water, and slowly washed off her makeup with her hands.

"Hey."

Li Yue looked up at the moon hanging high in the night sky, and finally raised her hand and waved it to disperse the water mirror formed by her spiritual power, and then rushed towards Tianjian Peak.

"Master can no longer hold back..."

In the dark, Ling Yuexi looked excited and followed closely in the direction Li Yue left.

……

Tianjian Peak.

In the main hall, the candlelight flickered gently, and the dim light and shadow swayed in the hall.

Xu Hanyi's long eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

"How is Master's recovery going?"

Lin Chuan looked concerned and asked with a worried tone.

"Almost...almost. Chuan'er can help me with treatment a few more times, and it should be fine."

Xu Hanyi looked up at the sky outside, and a barely perceptible complex look flashed across his eyes.

"Then let's start now."

As he said that, Lin Chuan grabbed Xu Hanyi's soft hand.

"Wait……"

Xu Hanyi had just uttered a word when his words were cut short. Then, he heard Lin Chuan let out a soft "eh."

"Eh? Master, why does holding your hand feel different from last night?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face. As he spoke, he gently stroked Xu Hanyi's hand.

"..."

Na Chuan'er likes holding my hand from last night, or from now on."

Xu Hanyi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked meaningfully.

"Master, I love holding your hand every day."

Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Hanyi nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Last night, it might be because Chuan'er's four senses and spiritual consciousness were sealed, which caused his sense of touch to be amplified. This is why I had the illusion that my hands were fatter than before."

She explained softly, her voice gentle and soothing, but her eyes wandered around unconsciously, not daring to look Lin Chuan in the eye.

"Is that so? Then why did Master lie down with his back to me while healing last night?"
