Chapter 120: A Man's Attentiveness
osed the doors and windows and embroidered inside the house.This embroidery took a whole night.The next morning, a maid knocked on the door of the room carrying wash water.Inside the room, there was u...Qin Luoyan was startled, her eyes widening in surprise. "Master, I don't like him. Right now, all I want to do is learn from you properly and I have no interest in romantic relationships."
"Is that so" Yue Ge, the old fox, looked at her suspiciously, as if trying to see something on her face. Until Qin Luo'yan almost couldn't bear his probing gaze, he retracted his gaze, just letting out a long sigh and then turning to leave.
In the morning sunlight, Lao Ye's back seemed rather lonely. His shadow was stretched long and thin, even more so than his already gaunt frame. At this moment, every inch of him radiated a profound sense of sorrow.
At that moment, for some reason, Qin Luoyan's eyes turned slightly red. For a fleeting second, she wanted to tell him that although she didn't have a crush, she wasn't a pure woman either. She choked out a sob and called, "Master..."
The old man stopped in his tracks, turning back to stare at him blankly.
"Master, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, are you going out already" But those words, she couldn't bring herself to say them. She could only choke back tears and change the subject.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Yuege Lao's eyes, he shook his head, remained silent and continued walking forward.
Qin Luoyan's nose felt a bit sour, so she quickly lowered her head and ran to the kitchen with a deep breath. Perhaps the fire in the earthen stove was too big, it made her eyes sting painfully, for a moment, she even shed tears.
Although it's only been a few days, some feelings have already become intense and inseparable. She can feel that the master and her fellow disciples care for her sincerely and without any pretense. How could she, with all her flaws, meet this group of carefree people
Maybe, there are always some people in the world who don't need to know each other very early, but once they put each other into the ranks of the closest people, they can give everything for each other.
By the time she brought out the freshly made noodles, most of the people in the dining room had almost finished their meal. The attentive Yun Tianzi noticed Qin Luo'yan's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What's wrong"
Qin Luoyan smiled brightly, "It's nothing, just the smoke was too strong just now, it gave me a bit of a haze."
"Oh, then be careful later. I'll go tell the master when I get back. This courtyard still needs a few handymen. Your hands are for wielding weapons, not doing chores." Yun Tianzi gently pulled out a chair for her and helped her sit down.
Seeing his blatant flattery, Xiao Fan and Wu Yi both simultaneously snorted with disdain. Xiao Fan, unable to keep his thoughts hidden, blurted out, "Look, we've always taken care of matters in our courtyard ourselves, so there's no need for the young master to worry about it. Besides, you've finished your meal and received the book, shouldn't you be leaving We have work to catch up on later, and if things aren't ready on time, it will affect Tianji Pavilion's reputation."
Only Xiao Fan would have the courage to drive people away so directly.
Yun Tianzi seemed to have gotten used to Xiao Fan's way of speaking, so he just slightly frowned, bid farewell to Qin Luo Yan before leaving. Before leaving, he repeatedly urged that if Qin Luo Yan encountered any problems she didn't understand, she could directly find him.
As soon as he left, Xiao Fan and Wu Yi sat beside Qin Luoyan. The two of them earnestly lectured Qin Luoyan again, saying that any man flattering a woman had no good intentions. She was a young lady and should keep her distance from those scoundrels. Listening to this, Qin Luoyan felt both speechless and touched.
The sun slowly climbed up the branches. After Xiao Fan and Wu Yi went to the workshop to work, only Qin Luoyan was left in the courtyard.
With the warmth of the sunshine, she took the introductory book on basic formations out the door. She walked for a while in the valley, following the stream all the way, and surprisingly, she discovered a place where spring flowers bloomed everywhere.
She took a deep breath, and even her pores seemed to be infected by the fresh air. Her whole body felt extraordinarily at ease. She found a sun-drenched stone to sit on before finally opening her book and starting to read slowly.
"Eh, what is this..." Before even flipping to the first page, Qin Luoyan couldn't help but gasp in surprise, staring at the pages filled with annotations. She was momentarily stunned.
It's no wonder that Old Master Yue and the others couldn't find these books in Yun Tianzi's study last night. He must have been diligently making annotations in his room.
Yuntai Zi's meticulousness truly surprised her. She had not expected that a man could be so attentive, knowing that she had no foundation at all, he filled those already basic books with his insights and annotations.
"It seems I really need to distance myself from Yun Tianzi from now on." If she still couldn't see what Yun Tianzi felt for her by now, then she was too naive.
She never believed in pure friendships between men and women. When a man is good to you, if it goes beyond the limits of an ordinary friend, it's impossible that he has no thoughts for you. And you know it yourself, yet you still deceive yourself by saying it's just friendship. Isn't that putting on a show of being pure like a white lotus
She had long passed the age of playing coy. Since she knew the truth, it was best to end it early and cut off ties. It's better to spare others' time than to keep them dangling, leading them deeper into a hopeless situation.
With Yun Tianzi's annotations, Qin Luoyan, who had originally been clueless, gradually became immersed in the mysteries of the formation. She began to understand the principles of the five elements and the eight trigrams, the influence of mountains, rivers, and terrain, and even the mystical aspects of feng shui. Once applied within a formation, these seemingly disparate concepts could generate incredible power.
The more she looked, the more she felt a sense of satisfaction. She didn't realize it until the sun had set that she had been staring at it all day long.
She got so engrossed in reading a book that she even forgot to have lunch. When she finally came to her senses, her stomach was growling loudly. She patted her belly and quickly got up to go back home.
On her way back, she had to pass by the workshop street that looked like a bustling marketplace. She walked quickly, but as soon as she reached the street corner, the commotion ahead caught her attention. If it were anyone else causing a ruckus, she would just glance at them and leave. But if it was Fu Zimu, her steps inevitably came to a halt.
Several inner disciples surrounded Fu Zimo, one of them holding an iron sword and pointing it at him. "So you are being defiant! You dare to bully Miss Tianqing We're here today to teach you a lesson! Miss Tianqing is not someone like you can bully just because you are young!"
"Bullied" Fu Zimo had a cold smile on his face, but his eyes pierced through the crowd and landed on Qin Luoyan. He sneered, "If not eating the pastries she sent is considered bullying, then I've indeed bullied many people."
