9. A 30-year-old Passerby will not dream of his alchemy sister (3)

Wu Cao's room was not far from the alchemy room. He arrived at the door and knocked on it lightly. Soon, footsteps were heard from inside.

Without asking the visitor in advance, Wu Cao opened the door directly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Cao asked, holding a freshly washed towel in his hand, apparently having just wiped something.

Ye Xinhai was frightened by her loud movements and was a little flustered for a moment. He quickly took out his notebook and said, "Oh, Senior Sister, this, this is yours, Senior Sister."

"Ah..." Seeing his notes, Wu Cao made a rare sound of surprise, pointed to the desk behind him and said, "I have some water on my hands, please put it on the table for me."

"Ah?" Seeing that the other party did not shy away, Ye Xinhai could only bite the bullet and enter Wucao's room.

Unlike the unkempt appearance of Wucao, everything in the room is neatly arranged, the floor is clean, the furniture is tidy, and the faint scent of orchid fills the air.

So what the fellow disciples said before about smelling a bad odor when passing by black grass was complete nonsense.

Unable to restrain himself, Ye Xinhai's eyes wandered around the Wucao room. He slowed down his pace towards the table as much as possible to give himself enough time to observe the interior of the room.

Why he was so curious he himself had no idea.

Not far from the table was Wu Cao's boudoir. Although Ye Xinhai knew it was immoral to pry into a girl's boudoir, he still took a glance at it.

With just a glance, Ye Xinhai discovered that there was another person lying inside.

"Oh my god!" Ye Xinhai shuddered and cursed.

The strange behavior naturally caught Wu Cao's attention. She looked at where Ye Xinhai was looking and explained, "The one lying on the bed is my mother..."

"Mother?" Ye Xinhai was stunned. He had been here for so long but he didn't know that his senior sister actually lived with his mother. Moreover, Lingyun Sect never allowed outsiders to enter, let alone live there. Could it be that his senior sister's mother was also from Lingyun Sect?

The question was not answered by the person himself, so Wu Cao ordered him to leave, "Put it away and leave, I want to rest..."

"Um..."

Leaving Wu Cao's room, Ye Xinhai was full of doubts, but he also knew that digging into other people's secrets would be disliked. He didn't want to be disliked by his savior, so he simply gave up...

As luck would have it, after walking a few steps, I ran into Song Qingxue who was taking a walk with her hair loose after just taking a shower.

"Yo Xiao Xinhai, do you like taking evening walks too?"

"I'm not interested."

"So you have it now!" Without waiting for Ye Xinhai to refuse, Song Qingxue quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, ordering him to take a walk with her.

The moonlight shines all over Wufeng Mountain. The cool mountain breeze on a summer night blows through the dense woods on the mountain, and the rustling sound of leaves is particularly relaxing.

"How about it? Have you never taken a walk in our Wufeng Mountain at night? With such a comfortable environment, I would be willing to live here for the rest of my life." Song Qingxue opened her arms, trying to embrace the night breeze blowing towards her.

Ye Xinhai didn't have such exaggerated thoughts. At most, he felt that his master looked very girlish when her half-dry hair fluttered in the wind while hugging the night breeze, provided that he put aside the fact that she was already 34 years old...

"Hey, you looked at me and thought I was doing something really rude, didn't you?"

"No, no way... I was just mesmerized by how beautiful you are, Master."

"Hehe, lies that come out of our mouths are often half true. Unfortunately, my teacher is already taken." Song Qingxue said proudly with her arms crossed.

"Which injustice... No, it's about who is so lucky to have the honor to spend the rest of their lives with you, Master?"

"No comment." Facing her apprentice's teasing question, Song Qingxue naturally would not answer, "You are already an adult, do you want Master to find you a matchmaker?"

Speaking of getting married, Ye Xinhai became excited and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to deal with your conditions. The only ones I know are talented and beautiful young ladies and true disciples from aristocratic families... I'm afraid others won't look down on you, right?"

"Then don't ask!" Ye Xinhai knew his master was teasing him when he heard this, and he became furious.

Song Qingxue, who had pulled one back, smiled particularly happily. In the past, this boy always teased her, but this time she was able to vent her anger.

"Oh, I was just kidding. Master will help you find someone. But if you find someone, you have to treat him/her seriously and stop saying weird things."

After all, a master would dote on his disciples. Moreover, the man in front of him was his only male disciple. She sincerely hoped that Ye Xinhai could find a suitable wife and settle down.

She could not forget the dishevelled man who begged the sect leader to keep him when they first met, the man who was obviously much older than her but still begged to join the sect.

His purpose was only to allow his younger brothers and sisters to stay here and practice with peace of mind. He knew that if he did not join the sect, his younger brothers and sisters would definitely not join the sect either.

As the eldest brother, he would never allow his younger siblings to live that kind of unstable street life.

"By the way..." Song Qingxue asked Ye Xinhai after finishing her reminiscence, "Do you have anything you want to ask me? I think you wanted to ask me since the first time you met me, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Ye Xinhai scratched his head embarrassedly, "Is it so obvious?"

"Yes, I have."

Rubbing the index fingers and thumbs of both hands back and forth, and after some inner struggle, Ye Xinhai finally told his master the problem.

"Why are you suddenly asking about Wucao?"

Ye Xinhai smiled bitterly and thought to himself, I want to ask this question too.

Perhaps it was because I saw another side of this senior sister. She didn't behave as weird as others said. She could empathize with the protein, communicate normally, get surprised, talk a lot... and was so anxious that she wanted to cry when her junior brother fell off the cliff.

She's not crazy, she just doesn't care about her appearance.

"To be honest, please don't laugh at me, Master..."

"you say."

"When I was about to fall today, Senior Sister Wucao held me back. I could see tears welling up in her eyes because of some kind of uneasy emotion. I... had only seen this kind of look in my mother's eyes before."

Song Qingxue did not comment on this and Ye Xinhai continued to add: "It's a very warm feeling. I can see from it that Senior Sister Wucao is a very good and gentle person. I think if she encounters any difficulties, I can help her. Not only to repay her, but I also want the person who gives warmth to receive warmth."

After hearing Ye Xinhai's true feelings, Song Qingxue couldn't help but smile.

"Wow, didn't you agree not to laugh at me… It's rare for you to show your true feelings for once…" Ye Xinhai blushed and scratched her scalp frantically to ease the shyness in her heart.

"No, no, I'm not laughing at you..." Song Qingxue covered her mouth and patted her apprentice's shoulder, proudly exclaiming: "Oh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... I really accepted two good apprentices!"

"Stop laughing. Tell me if you know." Ye Xinhai, who had finally gotten rid of his shyness, complained unhappily.

After looking at her apprentice meaningfully, Song Qingxue said, "If you want to know, go ask yourself," and left.

"What? You still won't tell me after all this time... Master's level is so high, has he reached the fifth stage of 'Feng Xu Yu Feng'?" Ye Xinhai said to himself.

In daily life, he would joke around and amuse himself with this cheerful master. He actually regarded Song Qingxue, who was able to sit in the position of elder at such a young age, as a cultivator who could only make pills.

After a heart-to-heart talk with his master, Ye Xinhai did not gain nothing. He actually already had the answer in his mind.

It is wrong to dig out other people's secrets, but if you ask the other person for his or her opinion and get the secret from him or her, then it is reasonable and legal.

Instead of asking so many questions, it is better to take the initiative to help and contact people. This is the solution.

"Just become friends with Senior Sister!"

The tranquility of the summer night was broken by Ye Xinhai's bold words, and the man walked back under the moonlight, humming an off-tune tune.
