When Liu Ao Xue came out in the morning, she was surprised when she saw Elder Tian.
That was because she could tell that the aura coming from him was much stronger than before.
After looking at him with narrowed eyes for a bit, Liu Ao Xue suddenly said, "Elder Tian, you've broken through?"
A smile appeared on Elder Tian's face, but that smile quickly became complicated as he remembered what happened yesterday. With a sigh, Elder Tian said, "I was lucky yesterday and accidentally stumbled on a chance to break through."
With another sigh, Elder Tian said in a much softer voice, "Though my mentality definitely suffered because of it."
Liu Ao Xue couldn't help revealing a confused look since she couldn't hear what he said, so she asked, "Is something wrong?"
Elder Tian shook his head as he said, "It's nothing, just talking to myself."
Liu Ao Xue slowly gave a nod, though she did have a brow raised as if she was doubting Elder Tian.
Elder Tian took the chance to change the topic by asking, "Young miss, isn't it time for you to go and check up on that new disciple of yours?"
Liu Ao Xue's face became a bit ugly when she heard this as she repeated, "That new disciple of mine…huh?" She slowly gave a sigh before asking, "Do I have to?"
Elder Tian shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "Young miss, you were the one that decided to accept him as a disciple, so you're obligated to take care of him, aren't you?"
Liu Ao Xue's expression became even more ugly, but she still gave a nod in the end.
But thinking of that disciple of hers, she really couldn't help feeling unwilling.
After all, he was the first man who had ever done something like that to her.
She could still remember when he had grabbed her leg and rubbed up against it.
There was a chill that ran down her spine when she remembered this.
Elder Tian saw the look on her face and said, "Young miss, there was no need for you to accept him as your disciple if you felt this way about him."
Liu Ao Xue pouted her lips when she heard this before saying, "Did you want me to break my word then? I can't do something like that, where would my face as the sect master go if I really did that?"
Elder Tian gave a shrug before saying, "Does that really matter? Will any of this matter when we return?"
A surprised look appeared on Liu Ao Xue's face when she heard this.
She looked down for a bit as she muttered, "Right, none of this would even matter when we return…so why am I so worked up?"
Elder Tian couldn't help revealing a faint smile when he heard this.
It seemed that his plan had indeed worked, it seemed that this Lin Fan had indeed been able to get under the young miss' skin and disturbed her. It seemed that she was slowly starting to feel some semblance of emotion again.
If only he could keep disturbing her and help her develop emotions properly…
That smile soon disappeared from Elder Tian's face before he said, "Regardless of how you feel, you should take responsibility. He is your disciple after all."
With that, Elder Tian turned to leave.
With Elder Tian gone, Liu Ao Xue just stood there in silence with a complicated look on her face.
Though there was a part of her that wasn't willing to go, she still said to herself, "He is my disciple after all…"
So with that, she made up her mind to go and find Lin Fan.
With a single step, she flew into the air and headed in the direction of Lin Fan's courtyard.
However, when she was in the air above Lin Fan's courtyard, she didn't land right away. She remained in the air and just looked down to see what was happening inside.
She saw that Lin Fan, Lin Li Zi, and all of the lackeys were having breakfast together.
As they ate, they shared their food and happily talked to one another.
There was a strange expression that appeared on Liu Ao Xue's face when she saw them like this.
She couldn't help muttering to herself, "Have I ever had a meal like that before?"
There was a small part of her heart that suddenly started twinging in pain as she said this.
She knew that she had indeed never had a meal like this with anyone, so she couldn't help feeling envious of the relationship that they had.
After watching them from above for a bit, Liu Ao Xue made up her mind and landed outside the courtyard.
She didn't stop the sound of her landing from being transmitted, so it didn't take long before Lin Fan came out to greet her.
When I came out, I had been expecting Elder Tian, but I was caught off guard when I saw that it was Liu Ao Xue who was there.
That surprise only lasted for a second as I said with a smile, "Master, what are you doing here? Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to join us?"
Liu Ao Xue was surprised by this invitation, but there was a small part of her that was moved when she heard this. After all, she had just been watching them enviously from above.
In the end, she shook her head and said in a calm and soft voice, "I haven't had breakfast yet."
Hearing this, I didn't hesitate at all as I grabbed her hand and pulled her in while saying, "Then come and have some breakfast with us."
Liu Ao Xue couldn't help being taken aback by her hand being grabbed suddenly like this…
But unlike before where he had grabbed her leg, she didn't feel rejection towards this.
She actually felt a warm feeling coming from her hand as she was pulled in.
Sitting down, she ate with them and listened to their conversation with a smile on her face.
Far above, Elder Tian revealed a faint smile as he watched all of this happen.
"Perhaps, he really will be able to change her for the better."
