CHAPTER 550: CHAPTER 245: IN FRONT OF THE MASTER, AUNT RUO SNEAKS AROUND_2

"Shangguan Pavilion Master also said this was an obstacle you couldn’t avoid, and now that you’ve overcome it, you’ve gained more, right?"

"Master, do I look like someone who’s gloomy and stuck in a rut now?"

"I understand," Pei Wanyu cupped Lu Jin’an’s cheeks. "But I’m your master, caring about my precious disciple, isn’t that a normal thing?"

She looked at Lu Jin’an with a smile, "Although I know you will definitely treat this as a lesson, after communicating with me, aren’t you feeling better?"

Lu Jin’an nodded, and Pei Wanyu buried his face in her embrace, "Communicate more with me in the future, alright?"

Lu Jin’an took a deep breath, chuckled softly, and said, "I really didn’t take this matter to heart..."

"So, do you think I’m being nosy?" Pei Wanyu scoffed lightly.

"I wouldn’t dare." Lu Jin’an quickly shook his head, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you my thoughts, it’s mainly because you’ve been quite busy these days, right?"

"Just come to me directly, nothing is more important than you."

Lu Jin’an straightened up, "You’re spoiling me too much, I’m not a child anymore."

"I’m happy to do so," Pei Wanyu pinched his cheek, and seeing he was about to speak, quickly interrupted, "Alright, let’s end this here. If you say anything more, I’ll have to do something to distract you~"

As she finished speaking, her slender hand, painted with red rouge, rested on Lu Jin’an’s thigh.

"Do what?" Lu Jin’an asked with feigned curiosity.

"Not a chance." Pei Wanyu gave him a reproachful look, "Are you thinking of indulging in broad daylight?"

Just as Lu Jin’an was about to speak, Pei Wanyu changed the topic, "Nothing really happened between you and Yinruo, did it?"

Lu Jin’an’s expression froze; was Master really this concerned about it?

Looks like there’s still something to confess slowly...

He looked at Pei Wanyu, pondering his tone, "Aunt Ruo’s Forget Love Path does restrain Buddha Burial Valley quite well... Master, do you hope for something to happen?"

"Uh..." Pei Wanyu hesitated then shook her head, "Let’s talk about it later."

With that, she pulled Lu Jin’an by the hand as she stood up, "Come, let’s deal with another matter first."

"What matter?"

"You’ll know in a while." Pei Wanyu opened the door, seeing Xiao Yinruo walking in the corridor, her expression slightly stunned, "Not staying in your room, what are you doing here?"

"Taking a walk." Xiao Yinruo said calmly, "It’s raining outside."

"Quite at leisure, aren’t you?" Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes at her, leading Lu Jin’an outside, "Continue your walk then."

Lu Jin’an cast a peculiar glance at Xiao Yinruo, feeling she wasn’t just simply taking a walk.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Yinruo stepped to Lu Jin’an’s other side, "I’m coming too."

"Aren’t you with your Qingmiao Palace group, what are you doing here?"

"They went back." Xiao Yinruo slowed down a step, "Besides, I have to go to the Wandao Sect. When will you return? By now, Nanzhi must be in Taichu Hall, I wonder how she and Qingyue are doing."

"What could happen? At most, they’ll have a fight." Pei Wanyu said calmly, "If there’s really an emergency, they’ll definitely get in touch, right, Jin’an?"

"Uh... huh?" Lu Jin’an replied, his body suddenly stiffening.

There was a hand on his lower back...

His master was walking in front of him on the right, so it couldn’t be her hand, in which case it could only be Xiao Yinruo.

No way...

Lu Jin’an felt his heart rate accelerate abruptly. He glanced surreptitiously at Xiao Yinruo, who maintained her calm demeanor as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Lu Jin’an stayed silent, what was Aunt Ruo’s strange quirk?

"What’s wrong?" Pei Wanyu looked back at Lu Jin’an, "Are you worried?"

"No." Lu Jin’an, noticing Xiao Yinruo’s right hand withdraw, smiled, "It’s just a misunderstanding. Nanzhi and Senior Sister can definitely resolve this misunderstanding."

Pei Wanyu nodded. Turning back around, she was concerned with how to prevent Yinruo from retracting the Empathy Technique applied to Qingyue.

Now that Yinruo had reached Divine Concealment, she no longer needed to rely on ’empathy’ to boost her power. If she withdrew this technique, Pei Wanyu really didn’t know how to make her good disciple keep interacting with Yinruo...

As Pei Wanyu worriedly pondered, Xiao Yinruo quietly placed her hand back on Lu Jin’an’s waist, her fingers gently stroking, her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes seemingly hiding a faint smile of delight.

With her breakthrough to Divine Concealment, she truly wasn’t worried about being detected by her friend.

Just had to be wary of Pei Wanyu suddenly turning back.

While thinking, Xiao Yinruo suddenly felt her arm being nudged, she slightly turned her head to see Lu Jin’an’s expression, which seemed a bit... anxious?

Afraid?

Xiao Yinruo’s lips curled into a subtle smile, completely ignoring his small gestures as she transmitted her voice, "I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Jin’an’s eyelid twitched, what was Aunt Ruo’s peculiar hobby!

If Master discovered this, given her constant questioning of "whether anything happened in the Secret Realm," she’d definitely go berserk.

Thinking this, he felt Xiao Yinruo’s slender hand start to move from his waist forward, and Lu Jin’an quickly walked a few steps to walk shoulder to shoulder with Master, but Xiao Yinruo seemed displeased with his evasion, giving his lower back a light pinch.

Then she promptly rubbed it while continuing to take advantage of the situation.

"..."

Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Master, Pei Wanyu’s lightly furrowed brows in thought made him a bit nervous, Master hadn’t noticed, right?
