Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 108 Where is Qianxue? Does she know?

Qi Yuan's eyes widened; she was completely stunned.

The air in the tea room seemed to freeze.

She stood frozen in place, even forgetting that she was still in the posture of slamming her hand on the table, staring blankly at her friend in front of her.

After a long silence, he said, "You—"

Qi Yuan swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

He looked at Pei Wanyun as if he were seeing her for the first time, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Do you know what you're saying?

"That's your apprentice! Your apprentice!"

For a moment, she even felt that her best friend had been possessed.

In the past, whenever Wan Yun mentioned matters of love between men and women, she was always gentle and reserved, either blushing and stammering or smiling faintly and avoiding the topic.

She had the air of a well-bred young lady.

But now—what's with this nonchalant attitude?

Isn't this a huge contrast?

Although a romantic relationship between a master and disciple is not as heinous and unacceptable to society as depicted in vernacular novels, it is still an extremely rare occurrence.

She simply couldn't understand why Wan Yun, who had always been disciplined and composed, would suddenly have such thoughts.

"I know."

Pei Wanyun's voice was frighteningly calm, as if this matter was nothing more than a trivial matter to her.

She even picked up her teacup and took another sip, savoring it carefully.

"You know nothing!"

Seeing her friend's nonchalant demeanor, the straightforward Qi Yuan finally came to her senses.

She plopped back into her chair, grabbed the cup, took a big gulp, and then slammed the cup down on the table.

A muffled thud.

"Pei Wanyun, have you gone mad from staying on the mountain all this time?"

Qi Yuan pointed at her, her face full of disbelief: "Did you suffer a qi deviation during cultivation?! Or were you possessed?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"no."

Pei Wanyun, who was being questioned almost to her face, was not angry. She understood that the other person was concerned about her, but was just too impatient.

She shook her head, looked up at her friend, and there was no hint of a joke in her phoenix eyes: "I am perfectly sober."

Are you awake?

Qi Yuan laughed in exasperation: "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Would you say something like that if you were sober?"

"Are you bewitched, or has Chen Lianshu cast some kind of spell on you?"

Qi Yuan even used her detection magic to examine her friend in front of her, to see if she was under some kind of bewitching spell.

Unexpected, yet reasonable, the person in front of me is quite normal.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan really had no other choice.

She rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself down.

"How long have you been with him?"

Qi Yuan, of course, knew when her friend had taken on a disciple: "You've already fallen in love with him?"

"I remember you weren't such an impulsive person."

She paused, then lowered her voice: "I need a reasonable explanation."

Lately, she's felt that her friend is acting strangely.

I am often restless, absent-minded, and distracted.

At first, Qi Yuan thought that she had encountered a mental bottleneck in her cultivation and that she would be fine once she adjusted herself.

These symptoms disappeared after the other party accepted a new disciple.

She initially thought her friend was simply focused on teaching her new apprentices, so she didn't think much of it.

But now that I think about it carefully, this behavior clearly shows that he has fallen in love!

But—she didn't understand.

I don't understand why my friend would suddenly do this.

Why would someone suddenly fall in love with another person?

There were signs of this even before he took on any apprentices.

When exactly did Wan Yun notice Chen Lian Shu?

What exactly is it about him that attracts her?

Handsome?

But it's clear that her friend is not such a superficial person.

"It wasn't exactly impulsive."

Pei Wanyun put down her teacup, her phoenix eyes gazing out the window, towards the entrance to the secret realm of the sect. She said softly, "To be precise, it's a reunion."

"A reunion?"

Qi Yuan frowned, completely unable to understand.

"Have you met before?"

"I wouldn't say I've seen it before."

Pei Wanyun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately denied the claim.

After all, it was just a memory, not a real meeting.

"To be precise, it's like—"

She simply put it: "It's like someone who's been dead has come back to life."

"?"

Qi Yuan was completely stunned.

She had never seen her friend like this before.

Pei Wanyun, who was always gentle and dignified, had such a complicated expression at this moment.

"Wanyun, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"It's nothing."

Pei Wanyun withdrew her gaze and looked earnestly at her friend: "All you need to know is that Lian Shu has never been just a disciple to me."

She didn't make any definitive statements.

After all, in the early stages of her memory, she did indeed only regard the other party as her disciple.

But later his mind changed, and he became a "rebellious teacher".

"So, what is he to you?"

Qi Yuan pressed for more information, taking a small sip of the spiritual tea.

Pei Wanyun gave a concise and clear answer: "My husband."

"puff-"

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

Qi Yuan choked on a mouthful of spiritual tea, coughing violently until her face turned red.

Clearly, she had no idea her friend would be so bold.

They haven't even defined their relationship yet, they haven't even come clean, and they're already calling each other "husband"?

He even addressed her in a calm and unremarkable manner without blushing or skipping a beat.

When did she become like this?

Was her previous gentle and dignified demeanor merely a deliberate facade?

"Never mind, never mind."

Seeing that the other person didn't seem to be joking, Qi Yuan waved her hand, deciding not to dwell on it for now: "Just tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"What should we do?"

Pei Wanyun didn't hide anything and directly told her friend about her plan: "I'll be honest with him when he gets back."

"What?!"

Qi Yuan raised her voice by eight octaves.

His expression at this moment was almost identical to when he learned that his friend was thinking about his apprentice.

"Are you going to just tell him you like him?"

"Um."

Pei Wanyun nodded slightly.

"What if he can't accept it?"

"What if he thinks there's something wrong with you as his master?"

"What if he doesn't even like you?"

"just in case--"

Compared to Pei Wanyun, Qi Yuan thought about many things, even more than she did about her own affairs.

"Little Kite".

Pei Wanyun interrupted, her gaze gentle yet firm: "Please believe me."

"Please believe him too."

'

'

Qi Yuan was rendered speechless by these nine words.

After a moment of silence, she finally gave in.

"Well, that's all that can be done now."

Qi Yuan sighed: "Wan Yun, sometimes you're even more stubborn than me."

"Since you've already made up your mind, there's nothing more I can say."

"but-

'

She abruptly changed the subject, raising her fist and shouting angrily, "If that brat dares to betray you, I'll be the first to grab my sword and go to Jade Spirit Peak to chop him down!"

"Little Kite, don't worry."

Pei Wanyun chuckled softly, her familiar gentle demeanor resurfacing: "He wouldn't."

"Huh~"

Qi Yuan pouted, finding it unbearable to watch: "Nothing's even happened yet, and they're already protecting each other."

"Okay, okay, he won't do that~"

In her last sentence, her tone was extremely exaggerated, clearly teasing her friend.

"I really don't know what kind of spell that kid cast on you."

She refilled her cup of tea and took a small sip.

But then, as if remembering something, his expression became subtle: "However, on another note—"

'

"Does Mu know?"
