Lin Jianxue never knew that her well-behaved and obedient apprentice was unexpectedly a little strong when taking care of others.

After returning to the peak gate for a few days, Lin Jianxue felt as if she had turned into a fragile piece of porcelain, and it was a bit unbearable to be hugged by Gu Xingyuan with extraordinary care.

"Master, how does it taste this time?"

Lin Jianxue swallowed the bitter medicine in her mouth, raised her eyes to look at Gu Xingyuan, put the bowl of medicine that she had only taken a sip of in her hand back on the table, and thought carefully: "It seems... a little bit thicker."

After finishing speaking, he stopped touching the bowl of medicine, turned his head to look at the layers of branches and leaves outside the window, and said indifferently: "I remember that in the past two days, the Xuanzi tea from the mountain behind the main peak should be out..."

"Master, wait a moment, I'll make another bowl." Gu Xingyuan picked up the medicine bowl on the table, got up and walked out the door.

"..." Lin Jianxue watched him leave, feeling a faint bitterness in her mouth again, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead with her hand.

It's like this again, Gu Xingyuan has to watch him drink the three bowls of medicine that can't be shaken every day before giving up.He hasn't taken medicine for many years. The last time he took medicine was hundreds of years ago. His senior brother brought him medicine every day, and he poured it out while no one was paying attention.It wasn't until later that the condition was repeated and never recovered, and the teacher noticed it, and he was stared at and drank the medicine until he recovered.

Lin Jianxue has practiced for many years, and has suffered a lot of injuries. He even stayed under extremely harsh conditions in order to comprehend the ultimate in heartless and ruthless Taoism, but there has never been anything that made him feel more difficult than drinking medicine.

The medicine is really bad, bitter and astringent, it is hard to drink, not to mention compared with tea, even compared with the sweet soup made of ordinary fruits, it is heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxue pursed her lips, recalling the taste she had tasted a few days ago, and raised her hand to let a gatekeeper disciple in.

"Go to the dining room to see if there is any..." He thought for a while, "If there is any flying cloud fruit, please bring me a bowl of sweet soup."

The little disciple got the order and left. Lin Jianxue looked at the bright and warm sunlight outside the window, thinking that it was a pity that she couldn't go out to practice swords.He sighed softly, flipped through a miscellaneous journal from his hand and read it.

I don't know if it's been a long time since I drank sweet soup. I was absent-minded while reading, and my mind was full of the taste of sweet soup.

After a while, there was a slight knock at the door, and the disciple who was cooking the sweet soup finally came back.Lin Jianxue didn't lift her head, and when the person put the soup bowl on the table, she reached out to take it, and when she was about to drink it, a strong and bitter smell of medicine came straight to her.

However, it was already too late, Lin Jianxue took a big gulp of the drink, caught off guard, and choked several times.

The people around him were even more nervous than him, so they hurriedly took a plain brocade handkerchief to help him wipe, and stroked Lin Jianxue's back with each hand: "Master, I'm sorry! It's my apprentice's fault, is there still some medicine left?" what is the problem!?"

Lin Jianxue coughed a few times and finally recovered, and looked up.Gu Xingyuan looked at him nervously. Seeing that he was fine, he picked up the medicine bowl suspiciously, took a sip, and frowned: "This medicine...is quite normal."

Lin Jianxue felt a little embarrassed, and was about to say that he was careless, when suddenly a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by the crisp voice of the little disciple: "Master Li Han, the sweet soup is here!"

The people around him froze, and suddenly became quiet.

The little disciple was a rough-natured person who didn't notice the subtlety of the atmosphere. He walked in, put the bowl in his hand on the table and left.The clear and light sweet soup and the dark concoction juxtaposed side by side, looked as weird as it could be.

Lin Jianxue felt that the other party's gaze fell on the bowl of sweet soup, and somehow felt that the bowl would explode in a second.

It was strange to say that Lin Jianxue had the illusion of being suppressed by the other party when she clearly knew that she was the master and the other party was the apprentice.

It was probably because he was sick and lacked spiritual energy, so he was not as good as usual, and Gu Xingyuan supervised him to drink the medicine so much like his master, that's why he had this outrageous illusion.

Lin Jianxue coughed lightly, and stretched out her hand towards the bowl of sweet soup without changing her expression. Unexpectedly, before touching the edge of the bowl, the other hand pulled the sweet soup to the corner of the table farthest from him.

"Master." Gu Xingyuan's voice was very calm, "I thought that Master was brewing the medicine too slowly and was afraid of delaying the time to drink it, so he drank it too quickly. But I never thought that it was not the reason for the medicine at all. "

The atmosphere froze for a while, Gu Xingyuan pushed the medicine juice in front of Lin Jianxue, the two stalemate for a moment, Gu Xingyuan sighed softly.

"Master, please drink the medicine," he said in a low voice, his voice softened a little, and he picked up the bowl of sweet soup, "There is one thing missing in this bowl of Feiyunguo, it will taste a little bitter , I’m going to make a new bowl for Shi Zun.”

Lin Jianxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally reached out to pick up the medicine bowl, closed her eyes and began to drink the medicine.

When drinking medicine, time seems to be infinitely stretched.When Lin Jianxue was in a daze from the drug, she faintly heard a series of soft footsteps coming from outside the door.

The footsteps sounded half hesitant and half eager, fully revealing the owner's mind.The sound stopped abruptly at the door, and the man seemed to have stopped at the door.

Lin Jianxue finally finished drinking the medicine, put down the bowl and looked up, and was stunned.

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old stood there, with bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a pale pink gauze skirt and a snow-colored shawl, which made her look gentle and lovely.She looked here in a daze, and there seemed to be a flash of water in her eyes.

"Mr. Li Han!" The girl's clear and lingling voice sounded, as if she finally confirmed something, she walked towards him.

Lin Jianxue recovered and looked at the other party: "...Ah Ruan."

The girl in front of her seemed to be the same as before, as if nothing had changed.Lin Jianxue smiled: "I just heard from the brother in charge that you came back a few days ago, but I haven't been feeling well recently, so I didn't go to see you."

"I know," Fang Ruan approached the table, a little pink appeared on her porcelain-like cheeks, she looked at Lin Jianxue, and said softly, "So I came here by myself."

As he spoke, he put the box in his hand on the table, and a faint sweet fragrance wafted out from the gap in the box.She opened the lid smoothly, and it was filled with all kinds of pink, white and soft pastries.

"these are--"

"I made these specially! Mr. Li Han, I heard that you are sick, so I collected a lot of materials for invigorating qi and nourishing the spirit, and I made these to bring to you. I remember you used to love the food most, so try it!"

The dim sum lid was closed coldly.

Fang Ruan froze for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to find a stern man with golden eyes standing beside him.His long eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his thin lips curved, and he smiled gently, but there was no smile in those deep eyes.

"Master just took the medicine, so it's not suitable to eat these." He stared at Fang Ruan, and said slowly, "As for this box of snacks, I will keep it for Master, and I will take it out when the time comes."

Fang Ruan looked at him, but before he could react, Lin Jianxue coughed lightly and explained, "Ah Ruan, this is my personal disciple, Gu Xingyuan."

Gu Xingyuan stopped looking at Fang Ruan, and reached out to take away the snack box.

Lin Jianxue still had the bitter taste of medicinal juice in her mouth, she couldn't help but glanced at the box of snacks, with a trace of imperceptible regret in her eyes.

Fang Ruan came back to his senses, with some self-blame on his face: "I'm sorry, I was careless. How is Mr. Li Han recovering recently? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern. It's you," Lin Jianxue looked at her, and said carefully, "50 years ago, the senior brother who was in charge of the sect sent you to Biyuan Island... I don't know how you are doing there?"

The air suddenly became quiet, probably recalling that rather difficult time, Fang Ruan's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he said softly: "When I was on Biyuan Island..."

She smiled and shook her head helplessly: "Actually, I don't really remember myself. When I was there, I was drowsy every day, and I seldom woke up. Although my brother told me after I came out, it had passed It's been 50 years, but I feel like it's only been a month."

Lin Jianxue frowned when she heard the words: "Then your illness..."

"My illness is cured!" Fang Ruan's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "My brother said that my illness was basically cured, so he brought me back from the island. Although I still need to rest for a while now day, but I feel that there is no problem."

Lin Jianxue nodded, and wanted to say something, but saw a pale blue light rushing straight from the window, and stopped in front of him hurriedly. After the faint blue flame burned out, the sound transmission talisman appeared.Lin Jianxue opened it, Fang Hua's eager voice echoed in the air: "Li Han, did Ah Ruan go to your place?"

Lin Jianxue looked up, and Fang Ruan's expression changed, with a tragic expression of ruin.

Lin Jianxue raised her brows slightly, her eyes slightly surprised: "So you sneaked out?"

Fang Ruan closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and said pitifully to Lin Jianxue: "Ah, it's over, Mr. Li Han, please don't tell my brother, if he knows that I have run out again, he will be angry! Since half a year When I came back a few days ago, my brother always said that I was weak and needed to recuperate, and I was not allowed to go here or there. I only told me a few days ago when you left the customs. I must not want me to disturb you, but I have been here for 50 years. I haven't seen you..."

Fang Ruan talked about Fang Hua's bad deeds like pouring beans, and then came back to his senses and said dejectedly: "I'm going back now, please don't tell my brother that I'm here. "

Lin Jianxue sighed: "Go back quickly."

Fang Ruan turned around in a hurry, accidentally bumped into the chair, and cried out in pain.When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, and she turned around and said, "Mr. Li Han, next month...next month is my birthday, you must come this time."

Lin Jianxue nodded slightly, Fang Ruan's eyes lit up, she smiled happily, and walked away.

As soon as Fang Ruan left, the air suddenly became quiet.

Lin Jianxue turned her head and saw Gu Xingyuan's eyes drooping, wondering what she was thinking.

"Xingyuan?" Lin Jianxue asked strangely.

Gu Xingyuan raised his eyes, and his long and narrow eyes suddenly became terribly dark.Lin Jianxue was startled, and when she looked again, the heavy oppressive feeling disappeared again.

Gu Xingyuan smiled, and stretched out his hand to help Lin Jianxue straighten the robe that was messed up when he drank the medicine, and said, "It's because the apprentice was too negligent. I didn't know it before. Does Master like to eat those snacks?"

Lin Jianxue hesitated for a moment.

He said he liked it, but after drinking the medicine, he would want to eat some snacks.But I haven't taken medicine for hundreds of years, and later I got used to drinking tea, so I gave up snacks.Now he put a pile of snacks in front of him, smelling the sweet smell, it seems that there is no need to refuse.

Lin Jianxue said vaguely, "It's okay."

Gu Xingyuan's long eyes were lowered a little to cover up the emotions in his eyes.He put away the soup bowl and walked towards the door: "Master, wait a moment, this disciple will be back soon."

Lin Jianxue looked over there, and was suddenly attracted by a gleam of light.Under a chair, there is a small thing reflecting a lustrous luster in the sun.

"What's that?" Lin Jianxue narrowed her eyes, and stopped Gu Xingyuan.
