The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

After arriving at Cui Mansion, Ji Xiuzhu saw that the head of the Cui family had been waiting in the front hall.

Qin Lan also sat aside obediently, seemingly having a pleasant chat with the head of the Cui family.

The two were originally chatting happily, but when they heard footsteps outside the door, Qin Lan turned around to look.

When he looked up, he saw Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen coming towards him.

"Master! You're back! Where's Second Senior Brother?"

Qin Lan looked behind Ji Xiuzhu, and when she didn't see Mo Yunyu anywhere, she asked.

Ji Xiuzhu raised his eyes and looked at Patriarch Cui beside him, then said expressionlessly: "The master has entrusted your second senior brother with an important task, so he will not be returning to the sect recently. Let's go back first."

After saying that, out of politeness, Ji Xiuzhu nodded to the head of the Cui family and sat down next to him.

Qin Lan felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She was still thinking about sharing her experience in Cui Mansion with her second senior brother.

At this time, Patriarch Cui smiled and said, "Master Ji, your disciple is so lively and cute. It is his honor to be able to train with your disciples."

Ji Xiuzhu nodded slightly, but did not respond to what Patriarch Cui said.

She turned to look at Qin Lan and said, "Lan'er, how is Erhe's injury?"

Qin Lan was shocked when she heard Ji Xiuzhu call him "Lan'er" after a long time, but she still responded obediently: "Brother Erhe is much better now and is resting now. So, Master, do you want to visit him?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu shook his head.

"No, I am eager to go home now. Since Erhe is fine, I will take my leave."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to the head of the Cui family.

Then, without waiting for Master Cui to speak, he got up and walked out of the room.

After leaving Cui Mansion, Ji Xiuzhu asked Qin Lan to summon the flying boat, and then took Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen to fly towards the sect.

They were silent all the way. Qin Lan looked at Ji Xiuzhu from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

However, at this moment, Ji Xiuzhu was lying on the deck with his eyes closed, resting.

But Qin Lan's gaze was too intense, and Ji Xiuzhu had to intervene even if he didn't want to.

So, Ji Xiuzhu yawned and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? You have been watching me for most of the day. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Qin Lan bit her lip, opened her mouth, but then slowly closed it, without uttering a word.

Qin Lan hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Master, are you angry with me?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu slowly sat up, then smiled and touched Qin Lan's head and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Qin Lan lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes: "If Master was not angry, why was he so distant to me in Cui's house?"

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could that be? When did your teacher become estranged from you? Don't think too much, your teacher only gets angry with people he doesn't know well."

Qin Lan felt relieved after hearing Ji Xiuzhu's words: "That's good. I thought I had displeased Master."

Ji Xiuzhu shook his head gently and touched Qin Lan's head with heartache.

She hadn't touched Qin Lan's head like this for a long time. When she touched Qin Lan's head again, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu staring at her, Qin Lan couldn't help but look up and ask, "Master, is there something dirty on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Ji Xiuzhu subconsciously spoke out his true feelings.

"Nothing, I just found that after not seeing you for many years, your teacher Lan'er has grown so graceful. She is beautiful."

Ji Xiuzhu originally just said a compliment that an elder should give to a younger person, but to Qin Lan's ears, it was undoubtedly a teasing that was enough to make the young man fall in love with her.

Qin Lan blushed immediately, and whispered, "Am I really...as pretty as Master said?"

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Lan's shy look.

"Haha, why are you so reserved? In front of your master, you will always be that lovely little disciple."

Qin Lan raised her head and looked at Ji Xiuzhu, with a different kind of emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Well, disciple understands."

At this time, a gust of wind blew across the flying boat and also blew Qin Lan's hair.

Ji Xiuzhu reached out and brushed Qin Lan's hair behind her ears, his movements gentle and natural.

But at this moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little ambiguous.

Qin Lan stared at Ji Xiuzhu's neck and suddenly felt inexplicably dry in her mouth.

Seeing that Qin Lan didn't move, Ji Xiuzhu was about to look up to see Qin Lan's condition.

However, the moment she raised her eyes, Qin Lan embraced her in her arms.

Then, before she could even make eye contact with Qin Lan, she felt a coolness between her lips, and then something soft pried open her teeth and drove straight in.

Smelling the fruity aroma coming from his mouth, Ji Xiuzhu felt his heart beating rapidly.

Ji Xiuzhu's mind went blank and he had no idea what was going on.

When she came to her senses, she pushed Qin Lan away violently and slapped him in the face. Then she gasped and stared at him with a red face.

"Master... Master... I... I'm not... Please listen to my explanation." Perhaps Ji Xiuzhu's slap worked, and Qin Lan suddenly came back to his senses. He explained stutteringly, his face red like a ripe apple.

However, at this moment, there was an awkward atmosphere in the air, so neither of them spoke anymore.

Finally, a breeze blew by, ruffling their hair, and Ji Xiuzhu was the first to break the silence.

"As for what happened today, I will just regard it as an unintentional mistake and will not hold it against you. But remember, I don't want the same thing to happen a second time." She straightened her clothes, turned and walked towards the bow of the flying boat, letting the breeze blow through her and soothe her agitated heart.

But even though the breeze was cool, Ji Xiuzhu's turbulent heart could not calm down. As long as he closed his eyes for a moment, his mind would be filled with the way he almost subconsciously responded to Qin Lan's passionate kiss.

For a moment, I felt both ashamed and annoyed.

What makes her embarrassed is her damn lustful heart. Whenever a handsome guy kisses her twice, she wants to respond.

There's nothing she can do about it. As a beauty lover, this is the only lust she can show off.

What annoyed her was that although she had tried very hard to correct her disciples' thoughts, these disciples seemed to be getting closer to her one by one, which made her wonder what went wrong.

She wasn't particularly good to her disciples, so why were all of them like this? At the moment, Qin Lan and Mo Yunyu were crooked.

Fortunately, the boss and other disciples are fine.

Qin Lan naturally had no idea what Ji Xiuzhu was thinking, but her face was still burning with pain after being slapped by Ji Xiuzhu.

So he had no choice but to follow Ji Xiuzhu silently, his heart full of regret and self-blame.

There was no conversation along the way. Ji Xiuzhu lay on the deck with his eyes closed to rest as usual, but Qin Lan was fidgeting.

Several times, Qin Lan wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Ji Xiuzhu, but Cui Yunshen would appear from time to time, leaving him unable to say a word.

After a long journey, they finally returned to the sect.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Shenyin Sect, Ji Xiuzhu saw Fu Xiuming and his disciples waiting outside the gate.

After seeing Ji Xiuzhu getting off the flying boat, Fu Xiuming raised his hand and everyone spoke at the same time.

"Welcome back to the sect!"

Ji Xiuzhu had just stepped off the flying boat, his eyes still hazy, when he was startled by the chorus of greetings.

"Woc! You scared me!"

Ji Xiuzhu subconsciously grabbed Cui Yunshen's arm, then raised his hand and patted his heaving chest.

Cui Yunshen was used to it, but when Qin Lan saw this scene, she felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle, and there was a pain as if a piece of it was missing.

After Ji Xiuzhu exchanged greetings with Fu Xiuming for a while, he ran towards his yard, saying that he was tired from the journey.

After returning to his own Suizhu Garden, Ji Xiuzhu locked himself in the room, thinking about what happened on the flying boat.

Although several days had passed, she still couldn't let it go.

The same is true for Qin Lan.

He had been following Ji Xiuzhu silently. After seeing Ji Xiuzhu return to the house, he wandered outside Ji Xiuzhu's door for a long time, but still did not have the courage to knock on Ji Xiuzhu's door.

These past few days, he had been constantly reflecting on himself. He didn't know why he suddenly did that. Perhaps it was because of long-term repression and the accumulated feelings for Ji Xiuzhu that caused him to lose his mind.

But when love is at its strongest, even though he is not a saint, he cannot control himself.

He wanted to apologize to Ji Xiuzhu, but didn't know how to start.

So he stared at Ji Xiuzhu's door and thought for a long time.

Finally, he knelt down in front of Ji Xiuzhu's door calmly, kneeling straight and without saying a word.

It is late at night, the Cold Dew is severe, and everything is silent.

Qin Lan knelt quietly in front of Ji Xiuzhu's door, like a sculpture.

His eyes at this moment were firm and persistent, revealing his inner regret and determination all the time.

As time passed, Qin Lan's knees gradually became numb, but he still knelt there, motionless.

Finally, when the moon was mid-sky, Ji Xiuzhu's door slowly opened from the inside.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Xiuzhu saw Qin Lan kneeling at the door, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She asked in confusion: "Xiao Lanzi? Why are you here? Why are you kneeling at the door of your master?"

Ji Xiuzhu was really confused and she was immersed in her own thoughts the whole day.

So much so that she didn't even notice that Qin Lan was following her.

If she had discovered it earlier, she would have let Qin Lan go back.

Qin Lan saw Ji Xiuzhu open the door, raised her head slightly, and said sincerely: "Master, I know that my behavior that day was too rude and outrageous, and it frightened you. Master, please hit me, I have no complaints."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu frowned slightly and stared at Qin Lan without blinking. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I have already said that it was just an accident that day. Also, you just need to remember in the future not to have any thoughts about me and your teacher that you shouldn't have. Get up. You have been running all the way, and you should go back and rest. Have a good sleep and forget about what happened that day as soon as possible."

After saying this, Ji Xiuzhu's original plan to go out for a walk suddenly disappeared. He slammed the door and lay back on his bed.

This night is destined to be sleepless.
