Seeing that the man had disappeared long ago, Ji Xiuzhu didn't care whether he had taken the things that should be compensated.

Instead, he strode up to Qin Lan with expectant eyes.

She looked around the osmanthus tree several times. After confirming that it was an osmanthus tree, and a rare red osmanthus tree at that, she excitedly hugged Qin Lan.

"Xiao Lanzi, you are awesome! Where did you find this tree?"

Qin Lan was a little overwhelmed by Ji Xiuzhu's hug. Even the words she had prepared to say to Ji Xiuzhu were interrupted by this sudden shock.

He blushed and lowered his eyes, trying to gently push Ji Xiuzhu away.

Ji Xiuzhu also noticed something was wrong, so he slowly let go of Qin Lan. Then he saw Qin Lan's hands frozen in mid-air, and he couldn't help but sneer: "What's going on? Has your little Lan grown up? Even a hug from your master can make you at a loss?"

Qin Lan heard this but did not answer. Instead, she silently withdrew her hand that was hanging in the air.

When he was little, Ji Xiuzhu also hugged him like this. Why is it that now, with just a gentle hug, his heart feels like it is swept by waves and cannot be calmed down?

As she thought about it, she saw Qin Lan take a deep breath, calm down, and then slowly speak to Ji Xiuzhu and whisper: "Master, I found this fragrant tree in the East Pole. When I saw it, I thought it had some similarities with Master, so I transplanted it back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu was stunned for a few seconds.

What does it mean that the osmanthus tree is similar to her?

Could it be that Qin Lan thinks that she looks like a small tree that will fall down if the wind blows?

No, isn't his apprentice speaking in such an abstract way now? She clearly knows every word, but why can't she understand them when they are put together?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Qin Lan took out a shovel and started digging a hole to plant the osmanthus tree in her yard.

Ji Xiuzhu wanted to help, but Qin Lan gave her a bag of spiritual fruits and asked her to eat them.

Ji Xiuzhu's main point is that he listens to advice, holds the spiritual fruit in his arms and sits on his armchair, instantly feeling comfortable like a true immortal!

I don’t know how long Qin Lan worked, but by the time he finished planting the osmanthus trees, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the place surrounded by osmanthus trees, Qin Lan nodded with satisfaction.

He originally only wanted to plant one osmanthus tree in Ji Xiuzhu's yard, but after he planted one, he found it a bit monotonous, so he took out the remaining osmanthus trees in the storage bag, dug holes, and planted the osmanthus trees one by one.

Finally, he was afraid that the osmanthus tree would be too monotonous, so he planted a crabapple tree that was taller than a person and in full bloom next to Ji Xiuzhu's armchair.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the petals on the crabapple tree fell as light as snowflakes.

They fluttered down in the wind.

At this time, Ji Xiuzhu fell into a deep sleep with a half-bitten spiritual fruit in his mouth.

Seeing the petals flying, Qin Lan reached out and caught a petal that was about to fly to Ji Xiuzhu's face. Then she put the petal to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. As the fragrance of the flower penetrated into his heart, he couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.

Then he took out an oil-paper umbrella from his storage bag. He held it up to block the countless flying petals. Qin Lan murmured, "Sure enough, only fragrant flowers are worthy of a fragrant master..."

Ji Xiuzhu was asleep at the moment, so he didn't hear Qin Lan's murmurs.

Immediately afterwards, a breeze blew by, and a petal fell on Ji Xiuzhu's neck at an inopportune time.

Seeing this, Qin Lan decided to reach out and take off the petals so that Ji Xiuzhu could have a good nap.

But when he reached out to remove the petals, he discovered a bruise on Ji Xiuzhu's neck.

Instantly, Qin Lan felt as if her heart was pierced by a sharp sword, and she even wanted to wipe off the bruise.

As he was thinking about it, an unreasonable idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Then, accompanied by the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, Qin Lan slowly bent down, buried her head in Ji Xiuzhu's neck, opened her mouth and bit the bruise.

However, Ji Xiuzhu just frowned, but his eyes remained closed.

Ji Xiuzhu: Damn it, this brat bit my neck again when I wasn't paying attention! It was understandable that he bit me last time because he was in a bad mood, but why is he biting me now? Damn, do you want to wake up?

Ji Xiuzhu was extremely conflicted at the moment. If she woke up, she would have to beat Qin Lan up. But if she didn't wake up, this guy would bite her to death!

As he was struggling, the pain in Ji Xiuzhu's neck suddenly eased. Then, Ji Xiuzhu heard Qin Lan's weak voice.

"Master, I know you are awake. If you want to beat me up, go ahead."

Ji Xiuzhu was shocked when he heard this.

Good boy, I found out that she was awake.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiuzhu stopped pretending to be asleep and suddenly opened his eyes.

Then she slowly sat up from the armchair. When she saw Qin Lan half-kneeling beside her with an umbrella, she couldn't help but sigh.

She really couldn't bear to beat her apprentice.

"Tell me, why did you bite me this time?"

Ji Xiuzhu's tone was calm, but his eyes were full of ambiguous meanings.

Qin Lan heard this and slowly closed her umbrella. Then she stared at Ji Xiuzhu's neck, touched her own neck where the bruise was the same as Ji Xiuzhu's neck and said calmly, "Because Master has someone else's mark here, I feel uncomfortable looking at it. So, I want this mark to disappear from my sight."

After hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu's face turned black.

Your grandma's legs!

She raised her hand and touched the place Qin Lan indicated, and then a clear pain came over her. She instantly remembered that the man in the golden mask seemed to have bitten her when she fell asleep last night.

Is it that time...

Ji Xiuzhu recalled slowly, but the more she recalled, the darker her face became.

But after her face turned black, she suddenly realized something, so she raised her hand and grabbed Qin Lan's ear.

"You little brat, even if you saw bruises on my body, it's no reason for you to bite me." Ji Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed as he spoke, "I remember you were copying books in the Sutra Library. Tell me, why did you sneak out? Also, you bit my neck and it hurt. You're so disrespectful. Tell me, do you want to go to the Twenty-Four Caves to accompany your senior brother, or..."

Before Ji Xiuzhu could finish his words, he saw Qin Lan take out a dozen boxes of various sizes from her storage bag, and then with a wave of her hand, the boxes opened one after another.

When Ji Xiuzhu took a look, he saw piles of papers covered with densely written calligraphy.

"Master, I came here today to deliver my notes, and I also wanted to plant some fragrant trees for you. After all, you just woke up, and the fragrance of these flowers will surely nourish your soul. Master, tell me, am I your most obedient disciple?"

After saying this, Qin Lan did not forget to pat her gray chest.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but swallowing.

Ji Xiuzhu: Damn it, they are trying to control me from the moral high ground. How can I have the nerve to say anything?
