Lan Xichen was a little stunned, not knowing why Zimu suddenly spoke to him like this.

After all, in his impression, after knowing each other for several years, Zimu had always been polite and distant when communicating with him, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

Suddenly Zimu no longer treated him the same way as before, and she was not used to it.

Seeing that Lan Xichen didn’t reply, Zimu continued, “I think Zewu-jun is very busy and probably doesn’t have time to hang out with me. It’s hard for me to ask you to do that.”

"No, Zimu... I'm not very busy either."

Lan Xichen said hurriedly, taking a few quick steps and reaching out to grab Zimu’s wrist.

Zi Mu looked at Lan Xichen's hand that was holding her wrist, and the somewhat lonely expression on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile on her face. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lan Xichen finally reacted. His usually smart mind realized that he seemed to be teased.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he quickly let go of his hand and coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Zi Mu smiled and said, "It seems that Ze Wu Jun is not very busy."

Lan Xichen smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Wei is right."

"Oh? Ah Xian said bad things about me behind my back?"

"That's not the case. Young Master Wei said that you almost raised both him and Young Master Jiang. I didn't quite believe it at first, but now I do."

Lan Xichen's tone was doting as he looked at Zimu tenderly.

"Maybe I suddenly found Zewu-kun interesting."

"how do I say this?"

"Thinking about how you always have the same expression since the first time I met you, and your smile is even more fake than mine, I couldn't help but want to tease you a little."

It was also the first time that Lan Xichen saw someone confidently say that her smile was fake, and her smile was even more fake than hers. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to the girl in front of him.

Lan Xichen shook his head slightly, and the two of them walked slowly along the path. The surrounding scenery was peaceful and beautiful. Even when they met a few teams of Lan family disciples, they all bowed and greeted them quietly.

Zimu looked at these puppet-like disciples with sympathy. They didn't look much older than the youngest fellow apprentice in Lotus Pier. It was too difficult for them to suppress their nature at such a young age.

What kind of life are you all living?

"what happened?"

"No, it's just that Cloud Recesses is too quiet. I always feel like it's not very popular."

Lan Xichen: Do you really have to complain about my family in front of me?

As they walked forward, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.

Zimu was surprised and said, "Something seems to have happened ahead. Let's go take a look."

Lan Xichen nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked forward.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were seen arguing with a few Lan clan members.

Wei WuXian said loudly, “My junior brother and I just wanted to go for a walk. We didn’t intentionally violate your house rules.”

The Lan family disciples said seriously, "This is a forbidden area. You are not allowed to enter at will. You should go to the Discipline Hall with us."

When Zimu saw this, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Xian, what's going on with Ah Cheng?"

When Wei Wuxian saw Zimu, he felt like he had seen a savior, and quickly said, "Senior Sister, Jiang Cheng and I really didn't mean it."

Lan Xichen frowned and said to the Lan family members, "I will handle it, you guys leave."

When the disciples saw Lan Xichen, they bowed respectfully and stepped aside.

Lan Xichen looked at Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng who were lowering their heads and said, “Wangji is not with you two gentlemen. I guess you don’t know that this is a forbidden place in the Cloud Recesses. Ignorance is not a crime.”

Wei WuXian nodded repeatedly and said, “I understand. Thank you, ZeWu-Jun.”

Zimu looked at Wei Wuxian helplessly and said, "Ah Xian, you better learn your lesson and stop being so reckless."

"Lan Zhan was called away. I really have never been here, so... I didn't mean to do that. Jiang Cheng was simply implicated by me."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at Wei Wuxian and said, “Thank you for being aware that you have implicated me.”

Wei WuXian scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Lan Xichen watched the interaction between the three siblings, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

----------------------

When Zimu arrived at the female cultivator's residence, there was already someone inside.

It was a pretty girl. When she saw Zimu coming in, she came out to greet him warmly: "Lanling Jin Clan's Luo Qingyang greets you, fellow Taoist."

Zimu smiled and responded: "Yunmeng Jiang Clan, Jiang..."

Before Zimu could finish her words, Luo Qingyang interrupted her excitedly: "I know you, Fairy Zimu. When I first knew that we were living together, I was very happy for a long time."

Her eyes were shining with joy.

Zimu looked at the enthusiastic little girl in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She recalled carefully in her mind, and if she remembered correctly, she was the only person on the Jinling stage besides Lan Wangji who spoke for her own son Xian.

Zimu has a very good impression of such a kind-hearted person with a sense of justice.

"Miss Luo, just call me Zimu." Zimu said gently.

Luo Qingyang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Then Zimu can also call me Mianmian. My family and friends all call me that."

Zimu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Mianmian took Zimu's hand and led her into the room.

As they walked, he said, "Zi Mu, I have always admired you. You have a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivation. I heard that the magic weapon you refine is very powerful."

"It's not that great. I just put some thought into it."

Mianmian blinked and said, "Zi Mu, don't be so modest, it's just..."

Zimu saw her hesitation and said with a smile, "Just tell me what you want to say." Her eyes were gentle and kind, giving people a sense of security.

Mianmian seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up at Zimu with expectation in her eyes: "During this year of study, I have some questions about cultivation. Can I ask you?"

There was a hint of trepidation in her voice, fearing that Zimu would refuse.

Zimu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, since we live together, it is only natural for us to exchange our cultivation experiences with each other."

After hearing what Zimu said, Mianmian showed a bright smile on her face and thought to herself: It turns out that good-looking people are all good people.

On the day of formally presenting the apprenticeship gift, the prodigal son Wen Chao showed up as scheduled. His arrogant face made Zi Mu want to slap him.

"My junior brother Jiang Cheng was just performing the ceremony of becoming a disciple. It's fine if Master Wen showed up in the middle of the process, but it's not good to interrupt him, right?"

"Hiss—you are..."

Wen Chao took a look at the man in white disciple uniform with a nine-petal lotus embroidered on his shoulder. Combined with the address he gave, he knew the identity of the man in front of him.
