I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

As the Lantern Festival had not yet begun, the master and his disciple wandered around Weinan Town for more than two hours.

At this time, the night fell quietly, the lights came on, and the light from the bright lanterns was like stars, illuminating the whole town.

The streets are lined with colorful lanterns of various shapes. The shapes of these lanterns are varied, including rabbits, dragons, fish and so on.

The streets were noisy and filled with small stalls selling all kinds of small toys, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another.

Young or old, men and women may hold a lantern and stroll along the streets, making it very lively.

Looking at such a magnificent and prosperous scene, Yuanchu was in a very happy mood. It seemed that it was worthwhile to go down the mountain for a stroll this time.

Turning my head to look at little Guxi again, she seemed very calm, with only occasional surprise and admiration in her eyes. It could be seen that she was happy as well.

Then Yuanchu felt relieved, turned his head and returned his gaze to the scenery on the street.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that the gaze on her face had left her, and stole a glance at Yuan Chu from the side.

Just now she was secretly glancing at her master, but suddenly she felt that her master was tilting his head, so she immediately shifted her gaze elsewhere.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, Gu Xi felt her master turning his head to look at her, and her heart beat faster.

It was a close call, as his eyes almost met those of his master. Gu Xi was glad that he reacted quickly.

If the master found out that she was not looking at the bustling lights on the street, but was secretly looking at her, it would be very strange, right? Although she couldn't tell what was strange.

After calming down, Gu Xi turned his gaze back to the street.

"I'm selling lanterns! I'm selling beautiful, festive, evil-repelling, blessing-inspiring lanterns. Would you like to buy a lantern, young lady?"

A vendor selling lanterns on the street was shouting very hard, and when he saw Yuan Chu and Gu Xi passing by his stall, he tried very enthusiastically to attract them over.

Yuanchu heard the shouting and glanced over. The lanterns displayed in front of the vendor's stall were of various styles and looked lifelike, novel and unique.

Yuanchu was somewhat interested in the lanterns in front of his stall and walked over to the stall.

I picked up a snow-white, furry rabbit lantern and looked at it carefully. I found that it was very finely crafted.

The red round eyes, three-petal lips and long pointed ears are vivid and cute in the light of the candle.

"Miss, you have taken a fancy to this rabbit lantern. The lanterns in my house are finely crafted and of excellent quality. Please feel free to take a look at them. They are absolutely genuine and of fair price. I will not cheat you!" The vendor said with a smile, looking quite pleased with himself.

Yuan Chu's eyes moved slightly, and what he was thinking at this moment was: This rabbit lantern is really cute, and it suits my little disciple very well, why not buy one and give it to my little disciple.

So she smiled faintly and did not respond to the vendor's words. She just paid the money silently and turned away with Gu Xi.

"Take care, young lady." The merchant was so happy that he smiled happily when he saw that he had made a deal without much talk.

After Yuanchu left the stall, he took a few steps and handed the rabbit lantern to Gu Xi, saying with a smile: "Here, this is for your lovely and well-behaved disciple."

Gu Xi was stunned when she heard this. She originally thought that this was something that her master bought for her because he liked it, but she didn't expect that he would say he wanted to give it to her in the blink of an eye.

She took the rabbit lantern, and the furry touch spread from her fingertips to her heart, making Gu Xi feel itchy.

She looked at the exquisite rabbit lantern, then remembered what Yuanchu said: Cute? Well-behaved? Was the master praising her just now?

Seeing his apprentice taking the rabbit lantern, Yuanchu looked focused and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"

Gu Xi nodded, raised her head and smiled back: "Yeah, I like it."

After lowering her head, Gu Xi's eyes suddenly became sore again, and she remembered her life in Qingshui Town.

No one had ever asked her if she liked it, and no one had ever bought her such a lovely item, but Master was the first.

And Master, you don't need to ask, no matter what you give me, Xiaoxi will like it. She added silently in her heart.

"That's good. Let's go. After walking around for a while, we'll find an inn to rest for the night. I'll take you back to the sect tomorrow."

It is not easy to travel at night, and Yuanchu originally wanted to spend a night at the foot of the mountain. He is not in a hurry, and it is not a bad idea to return to the sect tomorrow.

Hearing this, Gu Xi restrained his previous emotions and said hesitantly: "Master, but I still have morning lessons tomorrow."

"It's okay. I've already informed the elders at the academy on your behalf." Yuan Chu originally thought that he might not be able to return to the sect tonight, so he sent a message to the academy in advance.

Hearing Yuanchu say this, Gu Xi's frown finally relaxed, and he was impressed by the master's thoughtfulness, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

The master and the disciple continued to stroll, and Yuanchu suddenly heard someone beside him shout: "Master, look over there."

Yuanchu looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw a group of people releasing prayer lanterns by the lake.

When Yuanchu and Gu Xi got closer, they found that quite a few young talents and pretty ladies were lighting these prayer lanterns.

The vendor selling the prayer lamp smiled and asked, "Miss, would you like to buy one of these prayer lamps?"

Yuanchu wanted to say no, but when he saw the slightly expectant look in his apprentice's eyes, his heart softened and the words on his lips became: "Buy one."

"Okay, here's your prayer lantern, please take it, young lady." Yuanchu took the lantern and held it in his hand.

After that, he handed a pen to Gu Xi and said, "You two girls can write down your wishes on it. If the priests in heaven know about it, they may help you realize your wishes."

Although Yuanchu did not believe this nonsense, as she was a cultivator, how could she believe it? But since her little disciple was interested, she would naturally support him.

"Master?" Gu Xi stood there at a loss, holding the pen, and called out Yuan Chu.

Sensing her panic, Yuanchu said soothingly: "Just write down what you wish for, don't be so nervous."

Gu Xi's slightly flustered expression relaxed, "Master, don't you want it?"

Yuanchu smiled briefly and said gently: "Master, I don't need that. My apprentice's wish is my wish."

Gu Xi understood Yuan Chu's teasing and did not act shy. She picked up the pen and began to write on the prayer lantern what she had already thought of.

Gu Xi used the sleeve of one hand to cover the words he had written. Yuan Chu wanted to secretly take a look to see what his little disciple had written.

Gu Xi suddenly raised her head as if sensing something, looked at Yuan Chu and said seriously: "Master, you are not allowed to peek."

Yuan Chu, who failed to peek, smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will never peek."

She laughed in her heart. She didn't expect that her little disciple was so defensive. Now she was even more curious about what he would write. Her heart felt itchy as if it was being scratched by a cat.

"All right."

"Done?"

"Ah."

After making sure that his disciple had written down his wish, Yuanchu lit the candle, and the prayer lamp slowly rose, shining brightly in the night sky with the wishes written by Gu Xi.

The prayer lantern drifted slightly in the night sky with the wind.

But because the little apprentice's handwriting was relatively small, Yuanchu could only vaguely see the words "forever" and "Changle", but saw nothing else.

Yuanchu guessed that it was a prayer for peace or something, so he didn't think too much about it.
