Chapter 83
After leaving the Hall of Affairs, Qin Ran was worried and anxious. His mind was full of crises, thinking about how the plot would come, how those people would deal with him, who the enemies were, whether Jian Yuanjie was the only mole, and so on.
"Master..." Li Shiyin asked at his side, "Dan Peak is out of vegetables. Should we buy some meat and vegetables?"L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
"Buy them!" Qin Ran replied casually.
"But the fridge is broken!" Li Shiyin said.
"Then don't buy them."
"But there is no meat left in the house!"
"Then buy them!"
"But they'll go bad!"
"Then don't buy them."
"But..."
Qin Ran looked up and saw Li Shiyin trying not to laugh. Only then did he come back to his senses and realize that this girl was deliberately teasing him. His face darkened. They even dared to make fun of him now. In the future, what else would they dare to do... Cough, no respect for elders, the world is turned upside down.
"Just buy less. Wait until the fridge is fixed before buying more," he said coldly. Anyway, this girl could already fly, so coming and going was very convenient.
"Oh..." Li Shiyin pouted in agreement.
The master and disciple went to the town square market to take a look around and buy some things before returning to Dan Peak.
Back at Dan Peak, it was another busy day.
Li Shiyin's lake was already taking shape, reaching a depth of five or six meters. Finally, she dug into rocks. She felt around and found a very large boulder. She went to get a sword and used sword energy to slowly chip away at it.
When Qin Ran saw this, he hurriedly gestured to Li Shiyin, "Don't hack away randomly there. Shape the boulder into neat squares, with each block the same size, about this big. I will use them as bricks later."
It was easy to split rocks using sword energy. Li Shiyin had fun playing with it, but it was difficult to neatly cut them into identical square blocks. Li Shiyin tried it. After a few strikes of the sword, the blocks were either too heavy or too light. The boulders were not squared, and she got herself covered in dirt and dust.
"Stinky Master, can't do it yourself but knows how to boss around!" she grumbled.
The formations in the house were almost done. Qin Ran was laying the floor. After all, they were just some simple formations. He had prepared the materials last night and constructed the diagrams overnight. Today, he just had to follow the diagrams to set them up. It did not take long to finish arranging them.
He kept the bamboo flute and held the jade one. He unconsciously licked the mouthpiece, preparing to play it. But he suddenly realized something.
The silly disciple said this flute's sound was accurate. Did that mean she had tried playing it before...?
Unconsciously, his gaze skewed to his disciple's lips. Those moist, thin lips were like the most tempting dessert in the world...that one wanted to devour in one bite.
"Gulp..."
He swallowed loudly, the sound so great that it shocked him out of his daze. The hand holding the jade flute shook and he quickly regained his composure, shifting his gaze to the forest ahead. His quivering lips blew into the jade flute.
"Woo woo..."
Because his lips were trembling, so was the flute sound. Originally crisp and clear, the jade flute's tune was rendered devoid of any aesthetic sense.
"Mas...Master..." Li Shiyin also seemed rather flustered. She recalled that sheet music was provided when she bought the flute. Nervously, she searched her cosmic bag and took out the music score for Qin Ran. "The...music score."
Qin Ran didn't dare look at Li Shiyin. Pretending to be calm, he accepted the music score, opened it and stared at it for quite some time before reacting that he should play according to the score.
But when his lips met the mouthpiece again, he couldn't help but think of his silly disciple's tempting lips. So as he played, he completely ignored the music score and continued playing terribly.
"What's their relationship?" Long Qiqi was precocious. Seeing the abnormal situation on the roof, she went over to Chasing the Wind again and asked beside his ear.
Long Qiqi was a five or six year-old loli while Chasing the Wind was a little tiger slightly over two months old. About the same size, the little girl hugged the tiger cub's head and spoke into his ear. The picture was extremely cute.
"Meow?" Chasing the Wind tilted his head at Long Qiqi, eyes filled with bewilderment.... I'm just a little kitty. How would I understand so much?
And amidst the woeful flute sounds, a swaying figure slowly flew over from the forest treetops in the shallow dusk.
Distracted, Qin Ran had been staring in the direction of the woods so he was the first to notice the anomaly. He stopped playing and took a closer look.
That figure drew nearer but it wasn't just one figure but two. A woman carrying a man, shakily flying over on her sword with difficulty.
It was Tian Wenjin carrying Huang Feiyu.
Something was wrong!
"Shiyin..." he called out to get Li Shiyin's attention and signaled for her to go over and help.
Li Shiyin was half a beat slow. She looked up to see Qin Ran's gesture and the situation ahead before understanding what was happening. Flushing red, she took out her Cherished Sword and flew over on her sword to meet Tian Wenjin.
