The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

When Yingjiu heard him say this, he felt as if he was lowering himself to the ground.

Yingjiu himself couldn't help but feel sad.

Alas, we are all wanderers in this world.

He had just been rejected by Yingyi and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat Yingshiyi on the shoulder.

After all, the master is the leader, the top figure of this generation in the martial arts world, someone that countless people look up to.

He is also the master that Ying Shiyi has looked up to for several years and the person he has kept in his heart for many years.

The disparity in status between them cannot be ignored.

Ying Jiu was a sharp-tongued person, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't utter a word of comfort.

Because he can also understand Ying Shiyi's mood.

But if you look at this issue from the master's perspective, Ying Jiu has something to say.

"Have you ever thought that the master really likes you? Maybe he would be very happy if you were jealous." Ying Jiu thought with his chin propped up.

"what?"

Ying Shiyi never dared to think about these questions.

He thought back to the time when the Ji family sent someone away. He felt so sad at that time. He boldly lied and hoped that the master would keep him for a while longer and not favor others. At that time, the master said that only he was enough for him.

Even though Lou Jingyu said so, Ying Shiyi never dared to be sentimental.

He didn't dare to think about how long this sentence would be valid. He always felt distressed when he thought about it, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen in the future.

He can only cherish the present moment and there is nothing he can do.

But what does Yingjiu mean now?

Who would like to have a jealous person next to them?

Seeing that his expression had relaxed a little, Ying Jiu continued, "Everyone in the sect knows that you are the one the leader loves the most. His love for you may not just be a simple favor, but he may have the same love for you as you do."

But he didn't want to say anything more.

He didn't even dare to let Ying Shiyi be brave enough to ask clearly. What if the master was not like that? Then he would have harmed Ying Shiyi, and he would be unforgivable.

Ying Shiyi was stunned when he heard his words. Instead of feeling anticipation, he felt a little afraid.

He knew that his master was good to him, so he shouldn't think too much about it.

It's fine if the master has a temporary interest in me, but how can he have feelings for me for a lifetime?

It is shocking and rare for two men to fall in love, let alone someone like the master.

Ying Shiyi felt that he could do whatever he wanted, and he was not afraid of the eyes of the world, but once Lou Jingyu was involved, he became hesitant...

The sun should be high in the sky and should not be blocked by dark clouds.

He is very upset now.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Ying Jiu shut up awkwardly.

For a moment, both of them were speechless.

After a long silence, both of them sighed at the same time.

"I'll go back first, otherwise the master will be worried."

After a while, Ying Eleven said goodbye to Ying Nine and walked out of the dark chamber.

I don't know when the rain started to get heavy.

When Ying Shiyi came here, it was just a drizzle, but when he went back, it turned into a heavy rain. It only took a quarter of an hour.

Although it is already past the beginning of autumn, the heavy rain makes it feel like midsummer.

Fortunately, Ying Shiyi was walking under the corridor and was not caught in the rain. Even the hem of his ultramarine clothes was clean.

With so much confusion in his mind, his steps seemed to become heavier, and Ying Shiyi walked much slower than usual.

But before he walked out of the corridor, he saw a figure holding an umbrella walking towards him from afar.

Familiar attire, familiar look, holding an oil-paper umbrella in the heavy rain, as if isolated from the world.

"Master!" Ying Eleven's eyes lit up.

He trotted a few steps, trying to rush into the rain and get to his master as soon as possible.

But Lou Jingyu was faster and used his lightness skills to reach him in just a few steps.

He put the umbrella over his head and then walked out from the corridor.

"Why don't you wait for me to pick you up? It's raining so hard, don't get wet. What if you catch a cold?" His tone was not even reluctant to scold, but full of concern.

Ying Shiyi shook his head. "I am in good health and will not get sick. But why did the master come all the way to pick me up?"

The master was clearly still busy when I left Canglan Palace.

He didn't want to disturb his master, so he came alone.

Lou Jingyu smiled slightly, hugged him tighter to prevent his shoulders from getting wet by the rain, and tilted the umbrella towards him.

"Because I want to see Eleven earlier." He laughed.

Ying Shiyi's heart moved, and he indulged in such warmth, but when he thought of Qiao Shuhe, he curled his fingers in his sleeves again, feeling a little at a loss.

He felt extremely conflicted.

"What's wrong with Eleven? Are you unhappy going to the Dark Pavilion?" Lou Jingyu frowned slightly, holding his face with his free hand and asked worriedly.

His Eleven showed the same expression as yesterday, which made his heart wrench.

But he didn't dare to force him.

"Eleven, please tell me whatever's on your mind. Don't keep it to yourself." Lou Jingyu was really worried.

Ying Shiyi remained silent, as some things were too difficult for him to say.

Moreover, his master has been busy with the anniversary of the death of the old leader's wife recently, and he doesn't want his master to worry about him like this.

His hand quietly touched the peace locket hanging on his chest through his clothes, and Eleven said, "Master, I am really fine."

After saying this, she raised her head and curled the corners of her lips towards Lou Jingyu.

Lou Jingyu's worries increased instead of decreasing, but Eleven was unwilling to say more.

Seeing that the rain was about to get heavier, Lou Jingyu didn't ask any more questions and had to take his people back first.

----

The two of them returned to Canglan Palace together. Although they were holding umbrellas, their clothes were still soaked by the water vapor.

Although there didn't seem to be any water stains, it still felt damp to the touch, so they all changed into clean outer robes.

After changing clothes, Lou Jingyu hugged Ying Shiyi and each of them drank a bowl of hot ginger soup.

"Eleven." Lou Jingyu called.

"Ok?"

Lou Jingyu smiled slightly and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, "Don't hide anything from me."

Ying Shiyi hesitated for a long time this time and did not nod. Instead, he lowered his head, looking a little at a loss.

"master……"

After a long while, he stammered, "I'm fine."

I just came back from Dajue Temple and my master is already so busy. I shouldn't make him worry. There's no need to say those thoughts.

Lou Jingyu restrained himself from forcing him, so he coaxed him to eat and then took him to rest.

In the following days, Lou Jingyu kept observing Ying Shiyi secretly, but found nothing unusual.

I couldn't help but feel surprised.

This definitely doesn't mean he has figured it out and everything is fine.

His Eleven has always been a thoughtful child. Maybe he hides his thoughts and has learned to lie to him.

He could only spend more time with him, and except for going to the study to handle necessary official business, they were almost inseparable.

It’s just that my mother’s death anniversary is coming soon, so I have to bring my guests with me to pay my respects.

Guests came in twos and threes and left in batches.

They were all old acquaintances of his mother, so Lou Jingyu had to take some time out to meet them.
