Chapter 84: The Small Abode of the Master's Disciple

  "Sir, is everything all right now?"

  Yu Xian turned her head sideways and gazed at the man in white, a hint of a smile on her face as she asked, "Can you please let us go first?"

  At this time, the man in white clothes smiled elegantly and warmly, "Sorry, I was careless. Let me release you two now."

  At this moment, the man's hand was still holding a green paper umbrella, and with a light tap of his slender fingers, the mechanism that bound Su Mo and Yu Ran was completely opened.

  Yu Ran let out a breath of relief and moved her stiff limbs, saying: "It's finally over!"

  At this time he reached out and wrapped his arms around Su Mo's waist, lightly jumping out of the trap.

  The two figures stayed in the trap for a night, but there was no sign of too much embarrassment.

  "Alright, are you two alright?" The man in white clothes asked gently with a clear and elegant face.

  The man's low and elegant voice was tinged with a hint of intoxicating elegance, like a gentle spring breeze lightly sweeping across the frozen landscape, melting the ice and snow, and bringing forth blooming flowers, causing Yu Ran to suddenly have a few favorable impressions of him.

  On the other hand, looking at the familiar movements and words of the man in front of her, Su Mo's eyes were crystal clear.

  She stood there motionless, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on him.

  For a moment, her eyes flashed with a hint of desolation and bitterness, her already pale face turned even whiter. At this moment, she didn't think she would run into him, especially when she was in such a predicament. She had fantasized countless times about the two of them meeting again, but this moment was probably the worst possible scenario. As she thought about it, her lips curled up into a helpless smile, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. A moment later, she lowered her head, her face looking dazed, and her hands hung limply by her sides.

  Yu Ran's eyes widened slightly as she saw Su Mo's expression, and she thought that Su Mo had just been frightened, so she pursed her lips.

  He quickly reached out and grasped Su Mo's hand, saying: "Are you okay?"

  However, after holding it for a while, she found that her fingertips were trembling slightly, and she felt that what she was holding was not a hand, but a piece of ice. Yu Ran immediately held her hand tightly, bowed her head to take a breath, and then carefully warmed it up for a while before asking, "Why is your hand so cold? Is everything really okay?"

  She let Yu Ran hold her hand and intertwined their fingers together.

  However, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she almost forgot to withdraw her fingertips.

  "Look at you, haven't your internal energy recovered yet?" Yu Ran surprisingly wrapped her waist into his own arms, just like last night when they were leaning against each other, he felt that doing so wasn't inappropriate.

  Su Mo was also unaware of anything unusual, it's really a matter of habit, but it's also related to the appearance of the white-clothed man in front of him.

  At this moment, Yu Ran felt a completely different aura from the girl in his arms compared to before. He patted her shoulder and suddenly felt delighted, smiling brightly like the sun after a spring rain. He wondered if it was a good omen that she didn't reject him when they were outside.

  But then he thought of Wen Renyi and gritted his teeth, feeling that he should kick him flying.

  But deep down, I seem to have some strange feelings, feeling that I shouldn't be doing this.

  In his mind, there were always some unspeakable complexities and mysteries.

  Especially in front of his chest, it seemed as if a fire was about to ignite.

  But he felt that once that flame was ignited, he could no longer reject Wen Yiren.

  On the other hand, the man in white clothes silently looked at the strange couple in front of him, his eyes without any change, and he didn't say a word.

  At this time, the man in black saw that Yu Ran and Su Mo had already left the trap, and immediately revealed a flustered expression. Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, he quickly retreated slowly to the back. Yu Ran immediately turned his eyes sideways, and a cold smile curved at the corner of his lips. In those handsome narrow eyes, two flashes of light suddenly flashed like icy sharp blades.

  The man had just taken a few steps when he heard the other's icy voice rise up, as if it came from the depths of hell.

  "Do you want to run away?"

  The man in black felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the cold and sinister killing intent.

  Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

  No matter what, he had already offended the young master of Wudou City, who was a figure that even the King of Korea feared. Now, he couldn't kill him to silence him and could only wait for his crazy revenge. It was truly a case of "one misstep leading to eternal regret". He was already breaking out in cold sweats from head to toe.

  On the other hand, Yu Ran's fingertips had become unpredictable, his blue robe fluttering freely in the wind of the forest, his jade-like fingertips seemingly drawing mysterious symbols, and the aura around him changed accordingly. Bolts of lightning flashed around him, and at this moment, Yu Ran suddenly shot out a palm, carrying a powerful and sharp breath, rapidly approaching the black-robed man.

  He hastily stretched out his hand and matched it with his opponent's palm, and a terrible force was suddenly born from the collision.

  Yu Dye narrowed her eyes and swung her blue wide sleeve, her palm striking again with force.

  The man in black felt that Yu Ran's body seemed to have a terrible power of thunder and lightning, with an overwhelming momentum.

  A thread of lightning followed the meridians on his palm, ignoring his armor, and thousands of threads surged into his body.

  "Boom……" The black-clad man, even with his entire body mobilizing its defensive power, felt as if his arms had exploded, although from the outside they didn't seem to have changed much. In reality, the dark thunder had already completely detonated inside his body, and his skeleton was utterly unable to withstand this terrifying intensity. The unbearably painful sensation shot straight to his head, and the black-clad man immediately felt dizzy and disoriented, with his vision blurring so that he couldn't see the surrounding images clearly.

  Yu Ran's body suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab his arm, with his fingertips sliding from top to bottom.

  And his body rotated with the momentum and landed behind the man in black, and with a "crack" sound, it actually tore off his arm.

  Without arms, the man in black gritted his teeth and forced himself to be brave, preparing to escape.

  However, the blue-clothed man's continuous attacks were still too fast. Yu Ran jumped again, elegantly lifting his leg and kicking out with incredible speed, completely sending him tumbling to the ground. The black-clothed man rolled around on the ground, his face twisted in pain. After all, Yu Ran's kick had been extremely vicious, almost enough to knock out his internal organs.

  At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and the strength of the Wudou Castle heir was indeed terrifying.

  Finally, Yu Ran's finger tip struck a current of electricity, hitting him right in the heart, and the man finally fell to the ground.

  Yu Ran narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "A mere Korean thief dares to try and kill me, seeking revenge for that piece of trash brother of yours. The two of you are truly in cahoots with each other, foolishly thinking you can take on me, the demonic girl, and Wen Renyi. Although Wen Renyi is not here, I alone am more than enough to handle you. And as for you... aren't you Qing?" He turned his gaze towards Su Mo with a sly smile.

  Su Mo heard him mention Wen Ren Yi, her beautiful eyes fluttered, she took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

  Not bad, nowadays Wen Renyue is her husband.

  She had just met him and was momentarily too flustered.

  At this moment, she was still unable to calm down in her heart, and her heart was like a stormy rain, with huge waves rising on the sea.

  She had always been a woman who didn't show her emotions on her face in her past life, but at this moment she lost her composure.

  At this time she slightly raised an eyebrow, trying to make herself look as usual as possible.

  Yu Ran kicked the black-robed corpse on the ground with his foot, and then said coldly: "You actually assassinated the son of Wúsuǒ Castle, this crime will be punished to the extent of exterminating nine clans. Fortunately, I am benevolent, you did it alone and you alone will bear the consequences."

  Su Mo walked forward calmly, his phoenix eyes gleaming with a bewildering light, and said slowly: "This person has no family, he was originally one of the dead soldiers of King Han."

  It's actually a dead soldier! Then it should be even more dead!

  At this time, Yu Ran slightly opened her mouth, just about to ask how she knew about the King of Han's affairs, when a white-clothed man had already walked up with a warm and elegant demeanor, his entire body exuding an otherworldly aura, with a smile on his lips that was as gentle as spring breeze. He said leisurely: "Today, I've startled both of you. This place is my territory, this trap has only one entrance, but it's something I've just recently researched, no one can escape from inside, it was made for the turmoil in the Qi Kingdom's coastal area. Since both of you have fallen into my trap by mistake, you must be very tired. I invite both of you to go to my house and sit down, I have some light porridge and small dishes there to help you calm down, how about that?"

  "Alright!" Yu Ran replied immediately, having a good impression of this man in her heart.

  "Why don't you join us too?" The man in white smiled faintly, his voice low and elegant.

  And he stared at Su Mo without blinking.

  His gaze alone could make one's heart beat half a beat faster.

  Under the devil's guidance, Su Mo concealed the wild beating of his heart and nodded slightly.

  "Please, both of you, follow me." The man in white smiled lightly as he glanced at Yu Ran and Su Mo. His black hair hung loosely on his shoulders, fluttering in the wind along with a silver hairband. His moon-white long shirt and green paper umbrella made him look serene and elegant like the moon.

  He held up a green umbrella, and the shadow of the umbrella completely blocked out the man's figure.

  Su Mo and Yu Ran followed in his footsteps, slowly walking deeper into the forest.

  And she looked at the back of the man in white clothes, her eyes momentarily dazed.

  Every step forward seems to weigh a thousand pounds.

  She never thought that the person she had been searching for a long time would finally appear in front of her. Humans are emotional animals, and it's not easy to let go. She raised her eyes, and the other person's figure seemed to be within reach, yet seemed to be separated by two worlds. The long distance between them was like an insurmountable chasm.

  In the distance, a handsome young man with an otherworldly aura hooked his lips and leaned lazily against the tree, his expression as if lost in thought.

  Xia Feng couldn't help but rub her cheeks, pulling down her heavy eyelids and saying: "Young Master, you haven't slept all night, now everything is settled, Yu Ran Young Master has actually left with that white-clothed young master, what else do you plan to do?"

  Hua Xirong snorted and after a while, said lightly, "Of course I'm going back to sleep. This place is really boring."

  Xia Feng immediately exclaimed with joy, "This feeling is great."

  Then, Huashan jumped down from the top of the tree, glanced at everyone with a slanted gaze, and smiled coldly. Her slender and straight figure was extremely seductive.

  As they walked, Yu Ran was shocked to discover that the area was actually set up with arrays everywhere. From a distance, white mist swirled around, making it difficult for outsiders to reach this place. However, the spot where they fell into the trap had been deliberately destroyed by someone else, which is why the two of them accidentally fell into it.

  A small path soon appeared in the forest, with a stone-paved road that looked elegant and serene. The air coming towards us carried a faint scent of flowers and grass.

  A gentle breeze blew up the hem of the white-clad man's shirt, his feet trampling on the soft mud, surrounded by a strange sense of freshness.

  Su Mo couldn't help but gently cover her mouth with her hand, suppressing a soft sigh that was about to escape.

  Her gaze was drawn into it, and her emotions surged up and down in her heart.

  It's just like it! Too much alike!

  The place where she lived in her previous life has a similar atmosphere, the heavy array here is extremely familiar to her, making people only walk around the outside, even letting her subconsciously feel that this was once the place where she lived with him. At that time, she was only twenty years old, and the two of them lived in seclusion in the mountains, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, far away from war and disaster, and they amused themselves in the fields, carefree and contented, her mood was also very light.

  Witnessing all of this again, although it's been a lifetime, yet it feels more intimate than ever.

  But what was in front of her eyes seemed like a dreamy bubble forming an illusion, as if it would disappear without a trace just by blinking her eyes.

  Heaven sometimes lets you gain some happiness, but won't let you be happy forever, one day it will all be lost!

  All those places where memories of the two remained, she repeatedly gazed at with lingering eyes.

  She even couldn't help but close her eyes at times, suppressing that faintly indescribable sourness in her heart.

  However, Yu Ran was attracted by everything in front of him. As he walked, he looked around and felt the joy of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan Mountain leisurely.

  No matter who comes here for the first time, they will be extremely surprised. However, as he goes deeper inside, his eyes are more astonished and his voice of praise is endless.

  The wind in the mountains blows gently and freely, blowing up the petals on the ground and covering them between the fields.

  Everywhere in this place are mechanisms, wooden oxen and flowing horses, mechanism small dogs.

  There are waterwheels that can automatically irrigate farmland, and mechanical people who chop firewood, fetch water, and plant crops.

  Only to see that the young master of Wudou City's eyes were full of interest, while Su Mo's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

  Her expression became increasingly bewildered and dazed.

  It's exactly the same, everything is surprisingly the same.

  Seeing this again, I have an inexplicable sense of desolation in my heart.

  She just felt her breathing was a bit unsmooth, and her heart seemed to be squeezed by an external force.

  Yu Ran was leaning back with her hands clasped behind her head, and she strolled over to the white-clothed man's side, asking him this and that.

  Sometimes he would turn his head and glance at Su Mo, seeing that she seemed to be out of spirit, so he would give her a sly wink.

  Sometimes he slowly approached her, his scorching gaze fell on Su Mo's rippling face, asking if she liked it.

  Su Mo replied vaguely with a few words, completely in a distracted manner, and she could only pretend to this extent.

  At this time, the man in white also turned around to take a look. He stood quietly between the mountains and waters, his white wide sleeves fluttering like the snowy wings of a white crane, absolutely elegant, with a faint smile on his face all along.

  Until the three of them walked to the front, their eyes saw a huge waterside pavilion. The houses floating on the lake were made of wood if they looked closely, but they were different from large ships. It was an entire house with three floors.

  At this time, the white-clothed man stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the two of them, smiling slightly as he said, "Welcome, both of you, to Shī Qián Xiǎo Zhú."

  Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his eyebrows revealed a complex expression.

  She couldn't help but recall that this house was originally called Yanmo Xiaozhu.

  That was his and her little nest, their home for two people.

  However, after rebirth, it was another small building of Shifu.

  Things have changed and people have gone their separate ways.

  At this time, Yu Ran looked at the white-clothed man and immediately thought of the scene where the Third Prince chased him that day. He was curious and asked incredulously: "Are you really Shi Yun?"

  The man in white robes had an eternal smile on his lips, a faint and ambiguous smile. "Has the Marquis of Yu ever heard of my name?"

  Yu Ran looked at him deeply and said: "I've heard a little about it, I've heard that you are the number one prodigy in the world."

  The man in white robes smiled gently, "A humble common name is not worth mentioning, Yu Shizi indeed knows me."

  Yu Ran said, "Apart from the mysterious and powerful figures, your great name is known to everyone."

  The man in white clothes smiled and said, "What you said is right."

  "Besides, rumors have it that you're elusive and hard to find, so you're a mysterious figure with a great reputation."

  Upon hearing this, the white-clothed man's eyes rippled, and a faint, strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a warm and gentle smile, but he didn't speak.

  Su Mo stared blankly at his figure, and for the first time in two lifetimes, she knew his true identity - he was actually Shi Mai, the number one genius of the world. This man's name had only appeared a hundred years ago, and then disappeared without a trace. Few people mentioned him, and she hadn't heard any rumors about him from the powerful men she met, until she went to Yin Men and heard some whispers, even thinking that Shi Mai was a hundred-year-old elder at one point.

  But he is surprisingly young.

  Unexpectedly, Ah Ning, who had been with her day and night in the past, was actually the number one genius teacher in the world.

  It was indeed an unbelievable thing, Su Mo's gradually dimming gaze looked at the other person, the man still had that elegant and warm appearance, without any difference from his previous life, but after being with him for so long, he had never told her his true identity.

  She had never hidden anything from him, but he had concealed such a big thing from her. It turned out that she was just overthinking everything!

  The world's number one genius, Tianxia Diyi Qicai Shi, is one of the most mysterious men in the world.

  How could she find him again after he disappeared?

  Unconsciously, a bitter smile gradually appeared on her lips again, and all the pretenses in her eyes were extinguished in an instant.

  Fortunately, at this time neither of the two men turned their heads back.

  Yu Ran's gaze carried a hint of gentle spring light and a subtle charm, and she had already begun to curiously examine the house in front of her.

  It's really simple and elegant, with an ancient charm, standing out from the crowd, with a unique craftsmanship.

  Yu Ran hastily asked: "This house is really great, how long will it take to build? If we change the location, wouldn't that be a waste?"

  "It doesn't matter, this house can be taken away, I've brought it with me and changed its location many times."

  Su Mo knew that this house was actually a huge mechanical device, she and he could take it with them wherever they went, until his disappearance in the previous life left it to her.

  The first floor is a study and guest room, the second floor is a bedroom, and the third floor is where he specializes in researching mechanisms.

  Upon entering the room, Shifu finally put away his green paper umbrella.

  Yu Ran's gaze fell on his umbrella, this umbrella was exquisitely crafted, and at a glance, it was clear that it was made by Shi Ying.

  But inside, it was indeed a elegant and serene room. Su Mo walked in with heavy footsteps, his eyes scanning the place lightly, but the decor here was not much different from his previous life. The window frames were intricate and complex lace carvings, and the plain white gauze curtains swayed gently in the breeze coming from the lake outside. In the middle of the room, a simple and elegant tea table was placed, surrounded by bookshelves that were already full. Unlike his previous life, where there were beautiful potted plants everywhere, which he had prepared for her with various precious flowers. Indeed, a single man's home was completely different after having a woman in it.

  Yu Ran didn't take out the Bone Fan, lightly fanning it, a smile on her lips: "This mansion is really big! If I, Jin Yu Tang, could also take it away like this, wouldn't I be free from worrying about those elders of Wu Shuang City coming to bother me?"

  Shi Yin smiled and said: "So the young master of Wusuo City also likes to be carefree?"

  Yu Ran said slowly: "Yes! Everyone has their own ambitions, but I really don't like things about fighting for power and position."

  As they spoke, the three of them were already seated in front of the low table, and the servant had brought over a bronze brazier, after which he brewed another pot of tea that filled the air with fragrance.

  Yu Yan lazily lay down and praised: "This place is really good."

  Shi Yin said calmly: "If Yu Shizi likes a place like this, I can also build one for you."

  "Master Shi Yin is indeed a good person!" Yu Ran couldn't help but put down her fan and smiled slyly, then turned to look at Su Mo and asked: "What do you think of Master Shi Yin?"

  But he took one glance at her empty eyes and couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, "Are you alright?"

  "Hmm... nothing... " Su Mo hastily lowered his head and slowly savored a mouthful of tea.

  The warm tea entered her mouth, soothing her mood a bit, and her gaze gradually regained some of its lost focus.

  She certainly knew that he was very good, extremely good. Even so good that after living with him for a period of time, she felt as if she had spent the most beautiful years of her life.

  Her past life, those youthful years, the most beautiful days were all concentrated in that period.

  However, fate played tricks on her and they were destined to be together yet couldn't be together.

  She gazed at the man opposite her with his elegant and refined face, as well as his gentle and subtle smile, and then couldn't help but lower her eyelids.

  Yu Ran thought for a moment, thinking that Su Mo was worried about Wen Yan, and hurriedly said: "Right, Master Shi, there is another friend who is looking for us everywhere. If he can't see us, he will be very anxious. Can you help deliver the message?"

  "So, is there a message that needs to be left for that friend? There's a mechanical messenger bird here." With that, the master's slender fingers moved slightly, and a beautiful mechanical bird appeared.

  When Su Mo saw that mechanical bird, he pursed his lips tightly and stared at it steadily, his eyes flashing slightly.

  Her fingertips slowly stroked her chest, and in her heart, she was even more entangled with the loss of him in their past life.

  "Hmm, so this thing was actually invented and made by Master Shi Yin." Yu Ran couldn't help but smile faintly, lightly stroking his chin. "Actually, I also have one of these message birds, but it's been treated as a treasured family heirloom by my mother, who doesn't even let me use it normally. You're really generous, sir."

  "This thing isn't precious at all, and the principle is actually very simple. Just put the things on your friend's body into the array pattern, then activate the recording stone in the messenger bird, and this bird can use the array method to find him."

  "So, Miss Yaoji, put Mr. Wenren's things in there." Yu Ran continued.

  Su Mo lowered her eyelids, tilted her head, and slowly took out her hairpin.

  Yu Ran took over the hairpin and followed him in. She patted the bird's head and said a few words to reassure it.

  The bird spread its wings and flew out of the window, with a gentle breeze rising around it, causing the curtains to flutter slightly.

  "By the way, what's with the trap mechanism outside?" Yu Ran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, sipping her tea as she asked, "I didn't think there was a mechanism in this world that could imprison me, it's really unbelievable. But I didn't expect Master Shiying's mechanism to be so impressive, you truly deserve to be known as the greatest genius under heaven. I, Yu Ran, am deeply impressed."

  "Heh heh, this place is deserted and very secluded. Ordinary people rarely come here, and the surroundings are where I try out some so-called new large-scale mechanisms. But unexpectedly, the formation there was suddenly destroyed by someone." He had a faint smile on his lips, naturally knowing who it was that destroyed it. "It seems that in the future, I'll still need to be more vigilant."

  "A huge contraption? You're building this sort of thing outside in the woods? It's so big, it can't even fit inside the courtyard?"

  "The mechanism can be large or small, even the entire Sky City is a mechanical city. Compared to these mechanisms, mine here is so tiny and insignificant. In fact, I can even turn the sea defense into a mechanical city wall." Only heard Shī Yuè's voice was like a gentle breeze passing through the window lattice, soft and elegant.

  "Master Shi Yin, is it likely that this time you are setting up a mechanism for the people of Qi State?"

  "Not bad." The teacher nodded slightly.

  "Actually, this girl is also very skilled in the art of manipulation." Yu Ran suddenly nudged Su Mo with her elbow, slightly curved the corner of her mouth and whispered: "It's rare for you to meet a fellow practitioner here, let alone a senior among seniors, an expert among experts. Don't you have anything to say? Shouldn't you ask some questions? Even if it's just getting an autograph, that would be a matter of great face."

  Su Mo raised her eyes, her gaze as calm as water, and let out a sigh in her heart.

  She really didn't know how to face this man, with emotions in her heart more complicated than ever, yet she rubbed the hem of her clothes with her fingers, trying to calm down the turmoil inside, and deliberately said in a low voice: "Why don't Master Shiyan give me an autograph instead?"

  "You don't have to call me Shifu Qianbei, just call me Aqian and it's fine." Shifeng's eyebrows were calm, her movements elegant and humble.

  Ayun! She actually calls him Ayun!

  After rebirth, they had just met for the first time.

  Su Mo's heart suddenly ignited a flame, and at the same time, her heart also carried some sourness. She pursed her enchanting lips, and those captivating red lips slightly curved into an arc, making the lip color even more vibrant. Her slender fingers, as white as jade, stroked her lips, and she asked with a hint of entanglement, "By the way, may I ask, sir, if another girl were here, could you also call her A Xian?"

  "Of course not, I just feel that the girl looks very much like an acquaintance." Shī Yuè didn't know why, but it was as if calling out this familiar person's name would be the only way to address her.

  "Miss Yao." Yu Ran furrowed her brow, vaguely feeling that something was off. She thought that asking the other person like this was somewhat impolite, yet she also felt that Su Mo shouldn't have anything to hide.

  "Well, I'll still call you Master Shi Yin then!" Su Mo slowly sat up straight, his eyes churning with a dark color.

  "No need, you should call me Mr. Jian, no need to mention my real name." The man smiled lightly.

  "Then I'll also call you Mr. Yu, how's that?" Yu's eyes sparkled with intoxicating allure.

  "It doesn't matter, you two must be hungry, I'll have the dishes served now." Shī Yuè smiled slightly and suddenly pressed a button on the table. The curtains opened, and several mechanical people came in one after another. One carried a plate of stir-fried chestnuts, another brought a plate of cold dishes, and there were also mechanical people carrying two bowls of hot congee, which was obviously freshly cooked, with diced meat that had been deboned.

  "Salmon meat, lotus seed porridge, cold mixed lotus root, are all rural dishes." Yu Ran was indeed the young master of Wushuang City, and naturally he had seen a lot and was not surprised by anything. Seeing the mechanical person appear did not surprise him, and afterwards he picked up his chopsticks and ate with great relish. After being tossed about for an entire night, he was truly very tired and hungry.

  Su Mo was also slowly savoring it, and after her rebirth, this was still the first time she had tasted the dishes here at Shi Ying's place.

  This feeling is very nostalgic, extremely nostalgic.

  She eats very slowly and also very carefully.

  What she savored was not the food, but a feeling she had lost years ago.

  "After tasting it, Yu Ran smiled and said: 'It's delicious, did you make this?'"

  "It's not." The master smiled faintly, with a hint of mystery on his lips: "Naturally, it was done by the people from the organization."

  "You people in this government are really something, and those scorpions, centipedes, and venomous snakes are even more so." The white mist of the hot congee wafted up, shrouding the man's eyebrows and eyes in a haze. Yu Ran sincerely praised, "In that case, won't we basically not need any maids or servants anymore?"

  Su Mo's lips were biting a round and translucent longan, with a fresh and sweet taste, wondering if this was made by a skilled craftsman? Why did it feel similar to Ah Yan's previous craftsmanship? The fire control was so good?

  She took a glance at the mechanical person and was also shocked by his gaze, her thoughts temporarily falling on that mechanical person.

  In her past life, she had never seen him use such a complex mechanism.

  She remembered that they had made some small animals together, such as rabbits, pigeons, and other delicate and beautiful little things.

  At that time, there was an unspoken understanding between him and her, she liked what he seemed to do for her.

  Can't help but say those three mechanical beasts that saved her looked a bit too terrifying.

  Su Mo pursed her lips, and at this moment, Ah Yan was still a little different from the Ah Yan she had met.

  And these mechanical people, they can actually understand how to operate some simple things without using their divine sense, how is that possible?

  She suddenly paused, remembering that her master's spiritual awareness was much stronger than hers, and the precise movements were still being controlled by his spiritual awareness.

  So, I couldn't help but ask: "Just now when we came over, Mr. Lian must have used his divine consciousness to control them to cook, right?"

  The master's tone was calm and elegant, with a faint smile: "Miss said it is true, I am actually a bit lazy, don't like to cook, let alone gentlemen far from the kitchen, so these meticulous things I can control with my divine consciousness, but chopping firewood and fetching water are not my responsibility."

  When he heard this, Su Mo was taken aback.

  After all, everything she had eaten before was made by him personally, and there were no servants or waiters around.

  This man does things for her personally and his culinary skills are much better than they are now.

  Thinking of these, she seemed to feel a little better in her heart, originally in his heart, she was still different.

  But she soon had a hint of self-mockery on her lips and a faint sneer in her heart.

  She now has Wen Renyi, why is she still thinking so much?

  However, how can a man who was once loved be easily forgotten?

  She couldn't help but gaze deeply at him, making an effort to imprint his figure in her heart.

  She knew that she was no longer the Su Mo of her past life, and he was no longer the Ah Yan of his past life. She didn't want to impose her emotions on others, nor did she want to cast a shadow over someone else's mind. At the same time, she didn't want to trouble herself or others anymore. Emotions were something that could be deeply buried in one's heart, and as long as she hoped for the other person to live a better life, to be very happy, that was enough. And so, she just watched him from afar, and that was sufficient.

  As for why he left without saying goodbye in the past, she believed that he had his own difficulties.

  Although this knot has not been untied, she knows that one day it will slowly come undone.

  Now, her heart is like a ladle full of water, every ripple caused by the falling water flowers, yet she cannot fully accept him. Among the three thousand weak waters, only one scoop is taken, and those faint emotions from the past are fine as long as they remain in her heart. Although Master said she had seven strange contracts, perhaps he was not the man of her destiny after all. The relationship between them has already died once, the previous life has ended, but the feelings that nourished like gentle rain are unforgettable. However, her heart no longer needs too much burden, only needing to quietly watch him from afar, silently watching, and this is completely enough.

  Unconsciously, her gaze at him became more serious.

  Every thread of emotion is revealed in the eyes, thousands and tens of thousands, without any concealment.

  At this time, the white-clothed man swept over Su Mo, his divine sense was strong, and he naturally didn't miss any details. A hint of puzzlement flashed in his warm eyes, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, the butterfly mask shining brightly. Then, his gentle, soft, and harmonious voice floated out from his lips, his posture like clouds floating in the high sky, his expression full of elegance, his temperament unmatched in the world.

  He faintly asked: "By the way, Miss Yaoji, have we met before?"

  Shi Yin's question caught him off guard, and Su Mo's heart skipped a beat as he nearly dropped the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

  Su Mo hastily took a deep breath, his eyes darting around, and quickly looked away, silently reciting "calm heart" several times before calmly saying: "Never."

  "Looks like I asked too suddenly?" Shī Yuān smiled lightly.

  "By the way, why did Mr. Ling ask that?" Yu Ran immediately raised his eyes and asked, he also vaguely felt some abnormality of Su Mo.

  "It's nothing, since you also like mechanisms, after dinner, you can go to the third floor and take a look at mine." Shī Yuè said lightly.

  At this time, Su Mo lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "Good."

  Yu Ran's eyes sparkled with interest, "I'm also interested in Mr.'s gadget, can I take a look too?"

  The teacher smiled faintly: "Of course."
