After Yuan Chu and Luo Xingchuan arrived at the inn where Gu Xi and her friends were staying, they asked the waiter and learned that Gu Xi and her friends had gone out early in the morning.

Yuanchu's eyes slightly raised. What were these girls going out to do?

Then the two of them added two guest rooms. She turned to Luo Xingchuan and said, "Master Luo Feng, you must have had a hard journey. You should go upstairs and rest first."

Luo Xingchuan: "What about you, Master Yuanfeng?"

"I'm waiting downstairs for the girls to come back. You don't have to worry about me."

Luo Xingchuan was surprised: "How can that be possible? I will go with you."

Seeing that he was very persistent and insisted on waiting downstairs with him, Yuan Chu didn't want to just chase him away, so the two of them sat downstairs waiting for Gu Xi and the others to come back.

After a long time, Gu Xi and the other three went out and were on their way back to the inn.

Wei Lingyu: "The sect said they would send elders to help. It's been so long, why is there no movement?"

Ye Wan was a little uncertain and hesitated: "Maybe it's still on the way?"

Qiu Chaoyun listened to the conversation between the two and interrupted them, "The sect has already responded. It should only be a matter of time before the monster arrives. The sect can't just ignore the appearance of the monster."

As they chatted, they quickly walked towards the inn. Looking at the inn entrance which was so close, Wei Lingyu then put aside the topic about the demons and curved his eyebrows into a crescent shape.

She looked at Ye Wan, shook her sleeves and said expectantly: "Ah Wan, can you accompany me to eat downstairs?"

She had just had lunch and was not actually hungry.

Ye Wan looked embarrassed: "This..."

Seeing that she didn't agree, Wei Lingyu looked at her pitifully and said, "Axi and Chaoyun are both fasting, so they seldom eat. You are the only one who can accompany me." As he said that, he blinked at her.

Gu Xi and Qiu Chaoyun remained silent. Since they came down the mountain, they had indeed eaten very little of the food.

Seeing this, Ye Wan finally felt helpless: "Okay then."

Wei Lingyu cheered: "Yeah, I knew you were the best, A Wan." After that, she pulled Ye Wan in impatiently, sat at the table, called the waiter and started to name the dishes.

Gu Xi and Qiu Chaoyun looked at each other, burst into laughter, and silently followed the two people into the door one after another.

After stepping into the inn, Gu Xi froze in place at a glance, falling into a trance, her eyes fixed on the figure sitting at the table in front of her with his back to her.

How could she not be familiar with the back figure that was engraved in her bones? She immediately understood: The elder sent by the sect was actually the master?

Qiu Chaoyun was originally walking in front of Gu Xi, but suddenly he noticed that the person behind him had an odd aura.

She looked back and found that Gu Xi was staring blankly at the front side of the inn. Following her gaze, there seemed to be a woman in a lavender dress sitting at that table.

Sitting opposite her was a young man who was quite handsome. She felt that the man looked familiar.

Qiu Chaoyun didn't understand why Gu Xi was staring at that place. Her whole aura changed. She called out tentatively, "Ah Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xi came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows: "I'm fine."

Then her gaze fixed on Yuan Chu, staring straight at her back, with a trace of long-suppressed longing in her eyes, and walked towards her step by step.

Almost there, Gu Xi's throat felt dry, her lips slightly parted, and a hoarse voice came out: "Master."

The word "Master" instantly penetrated the noisy crowd and went straight into Yuanchu's heart. At this moment, only one thought emerged in her mind: It's my little disciple!

Yuan Chu slowly turned her head, and her face was facing Gu Xi.

Looking at that familiar yet cold face, Gu Xi murmured in disbelief: "Master."

Yuan Chu's heart was moved. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Her little disciple had grown up a lot. Her unmade-up face possessed the brightness and youthfulness that only belonged to a young girl.

Yuan Chu smiled and replied, "Yes, it's me."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they just stared at each other, watching the face of the person in front of them overlap with the one in their memory.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the character's favorability has been unlocked."

“Do you want to check immediately?”

This sudden electronic sound suddenly exploded in Yuanchu's mind, startling her.

Before Yuan Chu answered the system, Luo Xingchuan at the side spoke first.

It also broke the strange atmosphere between the two of them: "Master Yuan Feng, is this your direct disciple?"

Yuan Chu couldn't answer in time, so he could only nod first: "Yes, she is my apprentice Gu Xi."

Before, Gu Xi's heart and eyes were completely on Yuan Chu, and she didn't pay any attention.

Now she saw clearly that there was a man in front of her master. Gu Xi knew that this man was another peak master in the sect.

She immediately realized that Master had been with him all the way here?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi's eyes, which had previously shone with joy due to her reunion with Yuan Chu, darkened. The gloom in her eyes flashed by for a moment, and then returned to normal in just a moment.

"Ding, Favorability -1"

Yuan Chu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the system's favorability prompt. She raised her eyes to glance at her little disciple, but didn't see anything and looked very normal.

She felt as if she was hit on the head with a stick: Huh? What the hell is going on? This brat deducted my favorability right after we just met?

She didn't even know the initial value of her favorability, but she was inexplicably deducted a point. Yuanchu suddenly felt depressed and heartbroken.

At this moment, Wei Lingyu and Ye Wan, who were at the table behind, saw the movement from Gu Xi's side and rushed over immediately.

Seeing Yuanchu and Luo Xingchuan, he immediately bowed and called out, "Elder Yuan, Elder Luo."

Yuanchu and Luo Xingchuan agreed.

They were all very surprised. What they didn't expect was that the elder sent by the sect to investigate the appearance of the demon clan happened to be Gu Xi's master.

Because what they wanted to discuss was related to the demon clan, the six of them booked a private room and sat together around a table.

Yuanchu took the initiative to ask: "You girls, have you been able to train smoothly in the past month, except for the monsters you encountered later?"

"smoothly."

"smoothly."

"smoothly."

Several people answered in unison, with almost the same answer, except Wei Lingyu, who answered particularly lively: "It went quite smoothly. We gained a lot along the way, and experienced many interesting things along the way."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Yuanchu showed a hint of interest.

Since they had already arrived in North City, Yuanchu felt that there was no need to rush into investigating the demon clan. It would be a good idea to first understand their situation after they came down the mountain and ease the atmosphere.

When talking about the interesting things that happened when he went down the mountain, Wei Lingyu's eyes sparkled.

She chattered with Yuanchu about some trivial things, and also told Yuanchu about Gu Xi's situation at the foot of the mountain.

No one interrupted her and just listened quietly.

When hearing about Gu Xi, a smile unconsciously appeared in Yuan Chu's eyes.

Halfway through the conversation, Wei Lingyu exclaimed: "By the way, Ah Xi's grilled fish, rabbit, and pheasant are all very delicious, and her cooking skills are very good..."

Finally, she realized that she had said too much and talked too much nonsense. The little girl blushed and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I talked too much nonsense."

Yuanchu smiled: "Nothing, it's very interesting and cute."

Wei Lingyu blushed even more embarrassedly and lowered her head again.

"Ding, Favorability -2"

Upon hearing this report, Yuanchu's face froze, and he could no longer hold back his smile...
