In a flash, several months passed and Xu Anlan had already mastered what Ji Xiuzhu taught him.

To be precise, it is what the direct disciples of the Shenyin Sect learned.

Tonight, the moon is especially round.

Xu Anlan was practicing hard, but she was a little absent-minded.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" After Xu Anlan stopped, he saw Ji Xiuzhu staring at the moon in a daze, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Ji Xiuzhu remained silent, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Master?"

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu didn't respond, Xu Anlan added another sentence.

When Ji Xiuzhu heard Xu Anlan calling him, he slowly came back to his senses, looked at Xu Anlan tenderly, and said softly: "Oh, nothing, I just think the moon is a little round tonight."

Ji Xiuzhu's words might be fine for fooling children, but using them to fool Xu Anlan seemed like a trick.

But Xu Anlan saw through it but did not say anything, and tacitly agreed with Ji Xiuzhu's statement.

After Xu Anlan stopped talking, Ji Xiuzhu's eyes began to reveal a hint of sadness.

Today, Qin Lan came out of confinement, but he did not come to look for her, nor did he greet her as usual.

Xu Anlan noticed Ji Xiuzhu's mood change and asked with concern: "Master, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."

Ji Xiuzhu shook his head slightly, then said sternly: "When did you become so gossipy? Cultivation is what you should worry about."

Xu Anlan nodded when he heard this, but he seemed to be thinking about something.

He always felt that Ji Xiuzhu seemed to be hiding some secret, but he didn't want to ask too much.

The night wind blew gently, Ji Xiuzhu looked at the bright moon and sighed in his heart.

Xu Anlan turned his head and looked at Ji Xiuzhu's back, thoughtfully.

He suddenly remembered some rumors he heard about Qin Lan today. It was said that Qin Lan's strength had greatly increased during his retreat, and some even said that he had reached a level that could not be surpassed.

Of course, there is some exaggeration in the rumors.

Therefore, Xu Anlan only thought that Ji Xiuzhu was thinking about this matter, but in fact it was not the case.

"Master, are you thinking about Senior Brother Qin Lan?" Xu Anlan asked cautiously.

Ji Xiuzhu paused but did not answer. His current meaning was self-evident.

Suddenly, the night deepened and the moonlight shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.

Xu Anlan looked at Ji Xiuzhu and secretly decided in his heart that he must work harder in his cultivation, hoping that one day he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

"It's getting late. Let's stop here for today. I'm a little tired. You should go back and rest." After Ji Xiuzhu said this, he turned around and continued to look at the moon.

Xu Anlan looked at her back, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

"Yes, Master, I'll take my leave." After Xu Anlan finished speaking, he bowed and left.

Ji Xiuzhu stood on the top of the mountain, looking quietly into the distance, his eyes moving slightly, as if he was thinking about something, or looking at the night scenery.

It's so confusing and hard to tell what's going on.

When Ji Xiuzhu stopped looking at the moon and came to his senses.

When I turned around, I saw Qin Lan.

At this time, Qin Lan not only changed into a set of clean clothes, but also smelled fragrant.

For a moment, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't tell what the fragrance was.

"I guess the moonlight tonight has touched Master's heart. Otherwise, what is Master looking at? He is so engrossed in it." Qin Lan walked towards Ji Xiuzhu with a smile. Ji Xiuzhu looked at the person in front of him and was in a trance for a moment.

"Nothing, just taking a look." Ji Xiuzhu calmed himself down and said expressionlessly.

Qin Lan walked to Ji Xiuzhu and looked at the distant scenery with her side by side.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Qin Lan said softly.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded slightly: "It is indeed beautiful."

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu's response, Qin Lan said again: "Just like Master, fascinating."

When Ji Xiuzhu heard this, his eyes froze.

It’s not allowed to praise like that!

For a moment, Ji Xiuzhu didn't know how to respond, so he just stood there quietly without even looking at Qin Lan.

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything, Qin Lan also tactfully shut her mouth.

The two of them just stood there quietly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

"I went to look for Master yesterday! But Master was not in the room. I thought Master was still angry, so I took a bath and burned incense before coming to see Master."

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu remained silent, Qin Lan couldn't help but miss him, so she started to explain to Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu turned his head and looked at Qin Lan: "Master is not angry."

Qin Lan's eyes moved when she heard this: "Then has the master forgiven this disciple?"

Ji Xiuzhu nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"I have never blamed you. If there is any fault, it is my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I clearly rejected you, but I still wanted to tease you. Don't learn from me."

After hearing Ji Xiuzhu's words, Qin Lan showed a bright smile on her face, as dazzling as the bright moon in the night sky.

"Master, I understand. My feelings for you will never change. I still say that if you like me, it is my business. If you don't like me, that is your concern. Master, I swear that I will never do anything that you don't like in the future." Qin Lan stretched out four fingers to the sky and said in a firm tone.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Qin Lan and his heart couldn't help but move.

She knew that she had the same feelings for Qin Lan, but as a teacher, she had to control her emotions.

"Master, I understand." Ji Xiuzhu said softly, "Why did you come here? It's getting late, and you just came out of retreat not long ago, why don't you go back to your room and have a good rest?"

"Because I am thinking about my master, that's why I came here." Qin Lan nodded slightly, her eyes full of tenderness.

Ji Xiuzhu looked into Qin Lan's eyes and had an illusion for a moment. She always felt that Mo Yunyu's shadow appeared silently on Qin Lan.

Ji Xiuzhu: Is it an illusion?

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head and threw this somewhat ridiculous idea out of her mind.

"Master, you are tired too, right? Disciple will accompany you back." After saying that, Qin Lan picked up Ji Xiuzhu and carried him horizontally without waiting for Ji Xiuzhu's consent, then ran straight towards Suizhu Garden.

For a moment, Qin Lan was running, and a flashing parabola suddenly appeared in the sky, making people think it was a meteor passing by.

The night breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

After Qin Lan sent Ji Xiuzhu back to Suizhu Garden, she did not stay any longer but turned around and left.

Ji Xiuzhu was left standing alone in the courtyard, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind...
