Shizun and his magic kitten

At this hour, it was rare for the Qing Palace to be brightly lit.

Because of the arrival of Yu Chengqi these days, the elders at the top of the mountains and seas have been busy a lot. On the one hand, they want to thoroughly investigate the conspiracy of the ghost world over the years, and on the other hand, because of the reconciliation with the demon world, they need to discuss a result as soon as possible.

Now that Gu Huaiqu has confirmed his identity as the fairy master, he is even busier.

There are so many confidential letters from various sects these days, they are sent to Gu Huaiqu's case non-stop.Because there are too many grievances and grievances between the two worlds of immortals and demons, and the worries and concerns of each sect are also different, so they always have to ask Gu Huaiqu for a decision.

Gu Huaiqu and the elders in the sect were so busy that they forgot to eat or sleep.Overnight, it was like returning to the time when Gu Huaiqu just took over the important position of Zongzhong many years ago. Gu Huaiqu stayed in front of the desk all day, and even sleeping became a luxury.

So when Yu Chengqi came to find him, he found that the candles in the Qing Palace were still on.

Gu Huaiqu was still asleep.

Yu Chengqi stood outside the door, knocking politely.

"Master?"

No one in the hall responded, Yu Chengqi thought it was too late and Gu Huaiqu didn't want to talk to him, so he simply said to Gu Huaiqu through the hall door: "Master, have you slept yet? I want to tell you something, if you don't want to see me, The disciple said it here, the master just listen to it."

Yu Chengqi half leaned against the door, no matter whether anyone inside paid attention to him, he said slowly: "Actually, I have always known that when I was at the top of mountains and seas, Master was very kind to me and favored me. But although I feel , but not everything is clear.”

"The master is cold-tempered, and always refuses to say anything, and the disciples don't know where to go to find out."

"A few days ago, I asked Master for a birthday gift, but Master still didn't say a word. If Song Yue'er hadn't told me today, would Master have planned to hide it from me forever?"

"...You sent me for so many years, and you did everything by yourself, why didn't you want to tell your disciples?"

The people in the temple did not answer him.

Yu Chengqi's voice softened, with a coaxing feeling. He was afraid that Gu Huaiqu might have misunderstood what he meant before, and said again: "Master has put so much thought into it, so why not let the disciple know? The disciple didn't dislike your gift before, as long as Disciples would like it if it was a gift from the master, but the master refused to say anything, so the disciples thought you were partial to the junior brother, so they were jealous."

"If the master had told me earlier that those beautiful instruments were all made by the master himself, the disciple would of course be so happy that he couldn't sleep, how could he be interested in the instruments made by others?"

No one in the hall responded, but Yu Chengqi intuitively felt that Gu Huaiqu had been listening.

The candlelight in the hall shines through, and the light and shadow reflect a bit of softness.

Yu Chengqi said in a low voice: "Master, I don't want to miss it anymore."

"In the future, if something like this happens again, tell me yourself, okay?"

His Adam's apple moved, and the soft luster in his eyes flickered slightly. After pondering for a moment, he was finally ready to speak: "Actually, I..."

The hall door suddenly opened with a "bang".

The candlelight in the hall poured out.

Yu Chengqi's words were stuck in his throat, his eyes lighted up slightly, and he looked over, but——what he saw was Elder Wuze's old-fashioned face.

Yu Chengqi: "..."

He bypassed Elder Wuze and looked into the hall, only to realize that there were not only Elder Wuze in the hall, but a room full of people!

In the middle of the night, these old men were still discussing matters with Gu Huaiqu in the palace of Qing Dynasty. At this time, they were staring at him with different expressions and meanings, apparently they heard everything he said clearly.

"..." Yu Chengqi set his eyes on Gu Huaiqu who was sitting among the crowd.

Gu Huaiqu was obviously very uncomfortable, turned his head to look at him, and then quickly turned his gaze back, his face was still cold and expressionless, but his lips were tightly pursed, the roots of his ears were completely red, and he sat motionless in the same place, nothing care about him.

Yu Chengqi touched his nose.

... It's all right now, seeing Master's appearance, my heart probably exploded... I must feel that I have lost his face again.

Elder Wuze in front of him coughed twice, pulled his gaze back, and was staring at him with a strange expression, trying to maintain his seriousness: "... Your lord, it's getting late. We are still discussing with the fairy master. Big things, as for other personal matters... that, how about we talk about it another day?"

"Okay." Yu Chengqi glanced into the hall again, his eyes fixed on Gu Huaiqu's back, "Master, I'm leaving first, I'll talk to you another day."

The speculative eyes of the elders around them wandered back and forth between the two, seeing that Gu Huaiqu hadn't looked at him again, Yu Chengqi simply didn't say any more, turned and left.

……

Ever since that night, Yu Chengqi has been restless in his heart.

He wasn't sure who Gu Huaiqu liked.

Without an answer to this question, he couldn't feel at ease.

Moreover, he always has an inexplicable intuition in his heart, shamelessly suspecting that the person Gu Huaiqu likes is himself.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

But always give it a try.

Just a few days later in the afternoon, Yu Chengqi suddenly remembered Gu Huaiqu's favorite stir-fried vegetables and pastries, and decided to go to the small kitchen of Qingdian to make a meal by himself.

——Since he came to Shanhai Jiding, he has been free all day, only the suzerain and elders of Shanhai Jiding are busy.

As for Gu Huaiqu?

Yu Chengqi has already made up his mind, to force him to relax on his own, to spare some time for himself.

Therefore, when Gu Huaiqu was forcibly pulled into the kitchen, the expression on his face was obviously a little displeased, especially the incident a few days ago... It was enough for Gu Huaiqu to be embarrassed for several days, and even now he felt a little uncomfortable seeing Yu Chengqi.

Gu Huaiqu frowned slightly, and didn't even meet Yu Chengqi's eyes: "What are you doing? I'm busy with important things."

Yu Chengqi would not let go of this hard-earned opportunity, and took it for granted: "Master is a fairy master, why do you always go to work on those things yourself? Those old men are your subordinates, let them do it."

"..."

There is nothing wrong with his words, but Gu Huaiqu is still not used to it.

Yu Chengqi didn't wait for him to say anything, and pulled him over.

Because the small kitchen has not been used all year round, it was empty and clean at first, but now the stove is a mess, filled with things by Yu Chengqi.

He lightly bumped Gu Huaiqu's shoulder: "Master, I'm too tired these days, what do you want to eat? My disciple will make it for you."

"No need..." Gu Huaiqu subconsciously refused.

"Master is still angry because of what happened a few days ago? Disciple, please pay attention next time, so you won't embarrass Master again."

Gu Huaiqu turned his head away, and said awkwardly: "You think too much, I'm not angry."

Knowing that Yu Chengqi didn't mean it, he paused, and added: "...I heard everything you said that day, and I will think about it carefully. But let's forget about today's meal, I still have things to deal with , we still have another day..."

"It cannot be changed."

Yu Chengqi was very domineering.

"This disciple made a special trip to the streets to buy ingredients for the master. Everything was picked by himself. Why doesn't the master care at all? I am the emperor now. How many opportunities will there be in the future? If the master fails This time, who knows when the next time will be."

"..."

Yu Chengqi glanced at him again, and curled his thin lips happily: "Also, what is the matter that the master said he would consider? Could it be that... if you do anything for the disciple in the future, you will tell me yourself?"

... His statement seems strange, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Gu Huaiqu thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded: "En."

Yu Chengqi smiled lowly: "Why is Master so kind to me all of a sudden?"

Gu Huaiqu pursed his lips, with a sullen face, and said solemnly: "I just feel that I did hide too much before. In terms of things, I didn't feel sorry for anyone, but in terms of emotions, I seem to be ashamed a lot. People...especially you."

"At that time, I thought that I was dead, but now that I am still alive, I should make up for it."

"..."

Yu Chengqi actually never thought about it that way.

If you want to blame it, you can blame fate, Gu Huaiqu didn't have a choice back then.

His master has done a very good job, how can it be his fault?

but……

Since Gu Huaiqu insisted on being so guilty, he would not refuse.

"Then Master will stay and eat with me."

Without saying a word, Yu Chengqi pulled him to the stove.

"Since we agreed to make up for it, how could we not perform at all? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"..."

In the end, Gu Huaiqu couldn't refuse.

Yu Chengqi bought a lot of ingredients, so the results were quite rich.

He made sweet-scented osmanthus crab meat, yam lily shrimp, braised lion head, steamed crispy meat, and a crucian carp tofu soup for Gu Huaiqu.Because Gu Huaiqu likes spicy food, Yu Chengqi even planned to make another plate of spicy chicken. When he turned around to find the ingredients, he realized that he didn't buy chicken at all.

One hundred dense and one sparse.

Yu Chengqi felt a little annoyed, a little bit unwilling, thought for a while and asked: "Master, do you know how to kill a chicken?"

"..."

What is this bastard thinking?

At Gu Huaiqu's request, Yu Chengqi reluctantly let go of the chicken in Elder Wuze's backyard, but after finishing the hot dishes, he was still unsatisfied, and planned to make some more snacks, but Gu Huaiqu stopped him again.

There are only two of them in total, how can they eat so much.

When Yu Chengqi brought these dishes out of the small kitchen, it was already dark outside.On a whim, he dragged Gu Huaiqu to the water pavilion in the middle of the lake to eat.

This season, the weather is getting warmer, and the wind in the spring night is very comfortable.

There are slight waves on the waves of the lake, fine stars are reflected on the water surface, the veils on the waterside pavilion are blown by the wind, the lotus candles at the four corners shake slightly, and the steaming meals are filled with stone tables, the atmosphere is quite comfortable.

Yu Chengqi hadn't been this comfortable for a long time.

He refused to sit opposite, but wanted to sit next to Gu Huaiqu, his dark eyes seemed to be softer and quieter than the lake waves, as long as he tilted his head to look at Gu Huaiqu's face, he felt his whole heart was burning hot.

Yu Chengqi put a moist and plump shrimp into Gu Huaiqu's bowl, and suddenly asked him.

"Master, have you thought about where you should go in the future?"

"Now you are the fairy master, those elders... they treat you badly, and you don't have to stay on the top of the mountains and seas. I remember that back then, Yinfeng had a palace of his own. Where is the master? What plan?"

Gu Huaiqu paused.

He pondered: "This question... I haven't thought about it."

The night wind blew past, brushing up Gu Huaiqu's strands of hair, making the side of his face extraordinarily cold and soft.

"Could it be that Master still intends to stay on the top of the mountains and seas?"

Gu Huaiqu's eyes drooped faintly: "...I don't know."

Yu Chengqi was about to ask again, when he continued to say: "Actually, not all of those people treat me badly as you said. For example, Elder Wu Ze has always taken good care of me."

"Most of the elders are actually kind-hearted. If I hadn't been intentionally alienating them, they might not have been so tolerant. However, what you said is also reasonable. After all, the top of the mountains and seas is the place of Sect Master Jiang, and I really don't want to stay any longer."

Gu Huaiqu is not a piece of wood that does not understand the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

Even though what Jiang Yingfeng did back then was not inappropriate, but in terms of human feelings, he was indeed too cold-blooded towards Gu Huaiqu, as if he raised Gu Huaiqu from a young age just for a mission and commitment, and never had any feelings for him.

Gu Huaiqu knew this very well.

So he really didn't want to stay any longer.

Coupled with his current status, it is indeed not suitable for him to stay in any sect, an independent palace is the most suitable.

Yu Chengqi's eyes lighted up slightly, slightly narrowed.

He smiled lowly and said, "Does Master want to live with me?"

Gu Huaiqu paused for a moment, not understanding what he meant: "With you? Live in the magic palace?"

"of course not."

Yu Chengqi reached out and grabbed Gu Huaiqu's sleeve under the table, causing Gu Huaiqu to be unable to even move his chopsticks. He looked a little clingy, turned his head to look at Gu Huaiqu, with a bit of tentativeness, his tone was dark and unclear: "I mean I want to make peace with you." Let's build a new palace together, Master, anywhere. What do you think, Master?"

His intentions were too obvious.

Gu Huaiqu instantly understood his thoughts, his eyes were unbelievable, and his cheeks were even hot.

He immediately pulled out his sleeves, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Huaiqu's voice sounded fierce, but in fact his voice was flustered and unsteady.

Yu Chengqi's thoughts moved slightly, and the beating of his chest unconsciously accelerated.

He looked at the side of Gu Huaiqu's face that was avoiding his gaze, and stretched out his hand involuntarily, rubbing his thumb lightly on his cheek, a little rude.

He whispered: "Master, don't move, you have rice grains here."

"..."

In fact, it was clean and there was no grain of rice there.

They were shoulder to shoulder, and their breath was close at hand.

Yu Chengqi was too close.

This time, no matter how calm and calm Gu Huaiqu was, the roots of his ears were still obviously burning red. He immediately pressed his hand, pursed his lips and endured it, and stopped talking: "Yu Chengqi...!"

Yu Chengqi seemed to hear his heartbeat, and the beating became more intense.

So there is such a moment of certainty...

Gu Huaiqu probably also liked him.

He took a deep breath, and finally couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Master, I want to try my best to do what you said, but I'm not you after all, I can't do it so well. If the master is not by my side, I will always make mistakes. So the master may as well live with me You can teach me anything at any time."

Gu Huaiqu hesitated: "But I don't think you have done anything wrong, you are clearly... very good at it."

Yu Chengqi laughed out loud: "Master, are you praising me?"

Gu Huaiqu was silent and did not answer again.

Yu Chengqi thought it was funny, and hooked his fingers around his sleeve again—in fact, he wanted to hold Gu Huaiqu's hand, but he didn't dare to take the liberty, so he could only take the next best thing and tug on his sleeve.

He said earnestly and sincerely: "Master probably doesn't know about it. In fact, this disciple had the idea of ​​attacking the ghost world a long time ago. I didn't say it all the time because I was worried that Master would be angry. After all, Master hates hurting innocent people the most. There will inevitably be rivers of blood."

"But I didn't expect that the master didn't mind, and agreed to join forces with the demon world so quickly. The disciple feels very happy."

Gu Huaiqu's eyebrows twitched, feeling puzzled: "Why do you think so?"

"The Six Realms are fighting each other, and war is inevitable. Why should I be angry?"

Yu Chengqi was smiling again, his eyes reflected the light of the stars, and his tone was light and pleasant: "Yes, this disciple also feels that he is sick. The master is obviously so good, smart, good-looking and considerate. What do I want to do so much?"

"..."

Yu Chengqi started to praise him as soon as he disagreed, his mouth was sweeter than honey, Gu Huaiqu was caught off guard by the compliment, his ears started to turn red again, and he shyly scolded him: "...shut up."

Yu Chengqi still laughed wantonly, but he hadn't finished speaking, so naturally he refused to shut up.

After a while, he suppressed his smile.

His eyes were deep, he looked at Gu Huaiqu seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, this disciple wants to say..."

"Master was willing to give me the magic weapon that I was least good at for a word of mine, and I was the same, willing to work hard to do the thing that I was least good at for Master to see."

"It's just that I can't do without Master."

"The disciple likes you and needs you."

With a low voice, Yu Chengqi loosened his sleeves, held Gu Huaiqu's hand instead, and looked at him seriously: "Master..."

"Would you like to be with me?"
