Wen Li bid farewell to Xu Changāan, walking with a suppressed expression on Muyu Peak.
She thought of Xu Changāanās pale face, feigning calmness after hearing the "bad news," and arrived at his residence on Muyu Peak.
"Iām home." Wen Li said softly, standing outside the courtyard.
"Meow!"
With Wen Liās voice, the tabby catās neck was gently grasped, and Wen Li held it in her arms.
The tabby cat bared its teeth at Wen Liās chest, seemingly wanting to bite. But after seeing Wen Liās gloomy eyes and pausing for a moment, it obediently lay in her arms, no longer seeking revenge.
"Junior Brother will be in a bad mood these days." Wen Li spoke to the tabby cat, "Youāre his source of joy, so keep him company more often, okay?"
In the past, Wen Li would do her best to keep Li Hua and Xu Changāan apart, but now she changed her mind.
"...Meow." The tabby cat indicated it understood, but it looked somewhat worriedly in the direction of Celestial Bright Peak.
For this newborn little creature, something significant must have happened to make the "bad woman" lose her composure like this.
At that moment.
Wen Li suddenly noticed something, as she looked into the distance and saw a big and a small figure standing on the other side of Xu Changāanās courtyard, commenting.
"Sister Liu, heās living by himself because heās a man." Gu Qiancheng stood on tiptoe, looking at the fruit trees in the backyard full of fruits, slurping as she said, "I tasted one of the fruits he grew at Senior Sisterās place... itās very delicious."
Liu Qingluo sighed gently, "Why did you bring me here?"
Claiming to take a stroll around Muyu Peak, Gu Qiancheng had constantly been explaining from the Steward Hall to Xu Changāanās residence.
Did the little girl think she cared so much about Young Master Xu?
But not to this extent.
She wouldnāt have the slightest entanglement.
To be honest, itās a bit helpless.
"I was just saying." Gu Qiancheng laughed like silver bells as she watched Liu Qingluo stare fixedly at the courtyard.
However...
When she saw Wen Li holding the tabby cat, wearing a long black dress, her laughter abruptly stopped as if someone had caught a duck by the neck, and her whole demeanor suddenly wilted, looking sweetly at the person approaching.
"Wen, Senior Wen." Gu Qiancheng greeted Wen Li obediently.
Wen Li nodded simply in response, her gaze gliding over Liu Qingluo beside Gu Qiancheng, and she left with the cat.
"..."
Liu Qingluo thought, according to the rules, she was supposed to cultivate with such a vigorous woman?
Once Wen Liās figure completely disappeared, Gu Qiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scared me to death." Gu Qiancheng patted her chest, shivering several times, speaking with lingering fear, "Senior Wen... can only be watched from afar, being close feels like a broad sword mountain, weighing down heavily on me."
"Really?" Liu Qingluo was puzzled.
"Sisterās cultivation isnāt enough to comprehend Senior Wenās terrifying aura." Gu Qianchengās voice trembled, Wen Liās sword stance so intimidating that itās one reason she couldnāt see her as a mother.
"Are you very afraid of her?" Liu Qingluo asked.
"Afraid." Gu Qiancheng nodded emphatically.
Her mother was the former Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect, so most of the stewards on Muyu Peak were once her motherās girls, having benefitted from her grace. But after her motherās passing, Muyu Peak separated from Hehuan Sect.
So she was doted on by Muyu Peak, and for any matter, the sisters here would indulge her.
But Wen Li was different.
She had been reprimanded by Wen Li, and no matter who... they all told her not to provoke Wen Li.
Plus, Wen Liās naturally restraining personality made Gu Qiancheng feel like a mouse seeing a cat, barely daring to breathe, behaving like a gentle lady hidden from the world, showing no hint of her wild side.
"How did Senior Wen become Ms. Yunās Guide?" Gu Qiancheng glanced at Celestial Bright Peak, her body trembling... Since Yun Qianbai was with Wen Li during the day, she wouldnāt dare to approach them.
But at night...
Alone nights between husband and wife, she wouldnāt dare go then.
Sure enough, she should first get close to Ms. Yunās husband, then approach her indirectly.
"..." Liu Qingluo ignored Gu Qianchengās foolish laughter as her thoughts fell on the tabby cat Wen Li was holding, discovering it was identical to the one Xu Changāan had held before, even in the way it was held.
The same cat.
Liu Qingluo looked back on their way, discovering that Xu Changāanās residence was beneath the cliff, making it the only path in or out if one doesnāt fly.
Senior Wen purposefully came to Young Master Xuās residence?
A womanās intuition played its role here.
Gu Qiancheng was simply too frightened to consider such matters; she didnāt even dare look at Wen Liās face just now, let alone care about the tabby.
Liu Qingluo suddenly asked, "Sister, what is Senior Wenās relationship with Young Master Xu?"
"Huh?" Gu Qiancheng blinked, "Relationship? Thereās no relationship, if forced to say... Ms. Yun and Senior Wen are like student and teacher, so I guess thereās that connection."
Gu Qiancheng hadnāt visited Muyu Peak for nearly three years, completely unaware of what had happened during that time.
She couldnāt access Wen Liās records, so she was naturally in the dark.
"Is that so?" Liu Qingluo nodded lightly, merely saying, "Senior Wen is quite formidable, right?"
"Yes." Gu Qiancheng nodded her head vigorously, waving her hands, "Senior Wen... extremely, extremely formidable, among the disciples in the past two generations, thereās no one who can match up to Senior Wen."
