Master is unreliable

The room became quiet, but Chu Lan could still hear her violent heartbeat that hadn't calmed down yet.

He pressed his hand on his heart, trying to calm down the restless heartbeat.At the same time, I couldn't stop feeling ashamed from the bottom of my heart.

How dare he have such disrespectful thoughts towards Master.Although it was only for a moment, he still felt that it shouldn't be.

Chu Lan pinched her palm, trying to wake herself up, but unexpectedly, Duan Li opened his eyes again at some point, and reached out to touch his forehead, wondering: "Apprentice, are you feeling unwell?" ? Why is the heart beating so fast?"

It turned out that because Duan Li pulled the quilt on Chu Lan's body, the distance between the two became closer.Although Duan Li's five senses were relaxed when he fell asleep, it was quite normal for him to be able to hear Chu Lan's heartbeat at such a close distance.

Chu Lan finally relaxed, but because of Duan Li's move, it was all in vain.

He looked at the suspicious eyes that came closer, and felt a flame ignited in his heart, burning his whole body to the point of familiarity.

His ears were congested, and he felt that it was difficult for him to even breathe.Finally unable to bear it any longer, Chu Lan suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.

Duan Li's hand on Chu Lan's forehead slipped down with his movements, and Duan Li asked puzzledly, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Chu Lan got up in a hurry, not daring to look at Duan Li, he said quickly, "I, I'll cook. Master, what do you want to eat in the morning? Shrimp dumplings and egg soup are okay?"

Duan Li looked at Chu Lan for a while, and saw that he was really not uncomfortable, so he hummed: "Okay."

Chu Lan quickly put on her clothes and ran out of the room as if fleeing.The cool wind in the morning hit his cheeks, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He went to the well to fetch water, washed absent-mindedly, and then walked towards the woodshed.As he walked, he thought in his heart that it must be because the master's murderer was arrested yesterday, and the master's charges were completely cleared. He was so happy that today it became so strange.

As for him thinking... it's just because he is so grateful to Master.

After all, if he hadn't met Duan Li, he might have died at the hands of the group of demons in Chunfenglou.

Chu Lan thought, yes, that must be the case. He is completely in admiration for Master, and has no intention of profane or disrespectful.

Yes it must be so!

Chu Lan, who thought she was thinking clearly, walked briskly into the firewood room. The cook and her companions had already arrived, and when they saw Chu Lan, they greeted him warmly.

"Morning."

"Xiao Lan'er is here to cook for your master again?"

"It's earlier than usual today."

Chu Lan said good morning with a smile, and said, "Well, I woke up early today, so let me help you first. Is there anything I can do?"

Chu Lan has been in and out of Qingxiu Peak's woodshed since he was a child. He looks good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, with quick hands and feet. These people in the woodshed like him very much.

Just like now, a fat man standing by the stove waved at him.When Chu Lan walked over, she was stuffed with a plate of freshly cooked snacks.

The fat uncle pointed to the small bench next to him, and said, "There are so many of us, you don't need a child to help. Come, take this, go over there to eat, and fill your stomach."

Holding the plate, Chu Lan said helplessly, "Uncle Ding, I have grown up, not a child."

The fat uncle laughed, and he stretched out his hand to compare, "The first time I saw you, you are only this tall, aren't you just a child? Even if you grow up to be 20, 30, or even 40 years old in the future, in my uncle's eyes , you are all children."

Chu Lan felt unable to refute, so she had no choice but to keep silent.The others laughed when they saw him look a little aggrieved and helpless.

In the end, Chu Lan didn't sit on the sidelines to hide and relax. After eating a snack, she helped wash the vegetables.

What happened on Qingxiu Peak yesterday, after a night of fermentation, many people know about it—even if people on other peaks don’t know much about it, people here must have heard about Qingxiu Peak as the place where the incident happened.

Chu Lan was washing the vegetables while listening to them talking about it.They were happy for Liu Chengqi and Chu Lan, but also angry with Wei Ran's actions.

Chu Lan just listened silently without saying anything.

He knew Wei Ping's character, and since Wei Ping said he would report this matter to Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty, he would never show favoritism.

The only thing Chu Lan is looking forward to now is that Ming Guangzong can dig out more things from Wei Ran's mouth and find out the traitor hidden in the fairy gate.

Only then can his master truly rest in peace.

Soon, the disciples who had finished their morning classes arrived at the dining hall one after another.The people in the firewood room got busy, and they transported the food they had prepared.

Chu Lan stood in the back of the woodshed, where there was a separate small stove.

Because he often came here, he was worried about occupying the stove and delaying their work, so after obtaining the consent of everyone, he built one by himself, specially used for cooking for Duan Li.

Now Chu Lan scooped up the soup in the pot with a spoon and put it in a small porcelain bowl. After tasting it, she nodded with satisfaction.He put the lid on the pot, calculated the time, and the master should have arrived.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a cook shouting at him: "Xiao Lan'er, someone is looking for you outside."

Chu Lan responded, feeling a little strange. In the past, when Duan Li arrived, he would come in directly to look for him. Why are you waiting outside today?

After going out, Chu Lan was taken aback when she saw the person waiting there.That person is not Duan Li, but a disciple of Tianzhaomen.

Chu Lan walked over and asked in confusion, "Are you looking for me?" He noticed that the man was still holding a gold-painted food box in his hand.

The man nodded, and handed the box in his hand to Chu Lan: "Just now, someone came down from the mountain and asked me to give this thing to senior brother. I couldn't find anyone, so I thought it would be the same if I handed it over to you."

"Thank you." Chu Lan took the brocade box with her head full of bewilderment, thought for a while, and asked, "Did the sender say who he is?"

The disciple shook his head, and Chu Lan asked him if he still remembered the face of the sender.

The disciple said: "It's two girls in yellow clothes. They even have the same hairstyle. If I didn't look closely, I thought they were twins."

The girl, Huang Yi, and Chu Lan frowned slightly, sounding like someone from a mirage.

After sending the disciple away, Chu Lan walked back with the food box in her hand.

The cook who called him just now came over curiously: "Who will deliver things this early in the morning?"

Chu Lan shook his head. He put the box on the stone table in front of the woodshed, worried that there might be something dangerous inside, so he reached out and knocked.

It was very quiet in the box, and there was no movement at all.After thinking about it again and again, Chu Lan decided to open it first, lest some hidden weapon fly out of it and hurt the master.

He carefully opened the lid, and there was no hidden weapon flying out of the box as he thought, only the smell of food wafted out.

Chu Lan was stunned for a moment, what does the owner of Mirage House mean?How did you think about it so well to bring food to Master?

Suddenly, the cook next to her gasped, "Xiao Lan'er, look, what is that?"

Chu Lan took a closer look and saw a peach blossom on one side of the food box, the petals were still stained with morning dew.

Chu Lan held the branch of peach blossom in her hand, her face was a little ugly, and the good mood of waiting for the master disappeared all of a sudden.

How could he fail to understand what this meant, the mirage master was professing his love to the master.

What audacity this man is!

The cook didn't notice this, she covered her mouth and smiled aside: "Oh, Xiao Lan'er, what kind of girl is this, she is so enthusiastic and unrestrained, she chased people all the way to Tianzhaomen. Auntie, tell me, where did you meet him? Does he look good?"

The cook didn't hear the conversation between Chu Lan and the disciple just now, so she took it for granted that this thing was for Chu Lan.

"It's not good-looking." Chu Lan's eyes darkened, and he said word by word: "It's an ugly monster."

The cook was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, telling him not to be shy, she would keep it a secret.

Chu Lan didn't want to say more, just nodded perfunctorily.The cook said a few more words to Chu Lan, and floated away with a gratified expression on her face.

When Duan Li arrived, he saw his little apprentice standing in front of the stone table in a daze, holding a bare tree branch in his hand.

Duan Li glanced at the ecstatic little apprentice, then at the things in his hand, and asked, "What are you holding?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Lan was startled. Subconsciously, he wanted to hide the peach blossom in his hand, but when he glanced at it accidentally, all the petals on it were gone.

Chu Lan: "..." After a while, he whispered, "Probably, it's peach blossom."

Duan Li sat down in front of him: "What about the flowers?"

Chu Lan's voice became even lower: "I have heavy hands, I accidentally..." In fact, even he himself didn't notice when he pulled the peach blossom like this.

Fortunately, Duan Li didn't continue to worry about the peach blossoms, he looked at the brocade box on the table: "What is this?"

Even though she was unhappy, Chu Lan replied honestly: "Master Mirage ordered someone to send it, and said it was for Master."

"Oh?" Duan Li opened the lid with great interest, and saw several exquisite breakfasts inside.

Seeing that Duan Li seemed to like the things in the food box, Chu Lan couldn't help pursing her lower lip, and clenched the hand hanging by her side.

Most of the food Duan Li ate these years was made by himself, and now a Si Mingjue suddenly appeared, which made him feel very bad.

Although the shrimp dumplings he made were exquisite, they were a bit shabby compared to the delicious delicacies sent by the mirage owner.

Chu Lan was feeling wronged and lost, but Duan Li put the lid back on.

Duan Li asked, "Where's my shrimp dumpling?"

Chu Lan was startled, and Duan Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you do it?"

After a few breaths, Chu Lan realized what Duan Li meant, and he instantly became happy, with a bright smile on his face: "It's done, it's in the room, and I'll go get it now. Master, wait for me." .”

Chu Lan quickly brought up two bowls of soup and two cages of shrimp dumplings.While eating, he kept looking at the food box next to him.

After enduring it, Chu Lan still asked: "Master, what should I do with the box sent by the landlord?"

Duan Li said: "Huh? What should I do, throw it away."

Just as Chu Lan wanted to say that this is not good, she heard Duan Li say, "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either adultery or robbery. Who knows what bad idea he is planning."

Chu Lan silently swallowed her words of comfort, nodded heavily and said, "Master is right, I will throw it away now."
