After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 522: Dinner Table Test

"Master is really so annoying. He was busy accompanying Senior Sister, leaving me here alone to work. If it weren't for Sister Li helping me, it would probably be too early for dinner."

Lin Chuan placed the last dish on the plate and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Since Liyue is so kind to Chuan'er, let Chuan'er follow her to Tianyao Peak, so that Chuan'er won't be wronged if he stays here."

Xu Hanyi took the dish with a cold face, his words full of displeasure.

"Okay, after Xiaolinchuan finishes his meal, go live with your sister. Your sister will support you."

Li Yue stopped watering, supported her waist and slowly straightened up.

"???"

Xu Hanyi's eyes suddenly became stern. "You don't have any disciples yourself, right?"

"The flowers at home are not as beautiful as the flowers outside. Who said I have to take them home to be my apprentice?"

Li Yue raised her eyebrows, her tone light and teasing, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Hanyi, secretly observing his reaction.

"Can you say it again?"

Xu Hanyi's eyes became heavy, and the aura around him suddenly became cold.

Li Yue: “…”

"Alright, alright, Master, Sister Liyue was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously? Are you going to have dinner or not? Ah Chuan prepared a huge table of dishes. Look, most of them are Master's favorites."

Jiang Wanying was quick-witted and quick-handed. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Hanyi's sleeve, and half-coaxed and half-dragged him into his seat.

"Who's serious? I was just kidding."

Xu Hanyi glanced at Li Yue, then turned his gaze to Lin Chuan who was walking towards them with bowls and chopsticks.

"Master Li Feng has taken a fancy to Chuan'er, wouldn't Chuan'er consider it?"

Xu Hanyi raised the corners of his lips slightly, his tone was teasing with a hint of laughter, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan's reaction.

"..."

Lin Chuan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. After a moment, he looked aggrieved and whispered, "Master, are you going to kick me out?"

"Master didn't say that. What I asked was whether Chuan'er was willing to go to Liyue."

Xu Hanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone seemed nonchalant, but his fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the table.

"Since Master doesn't drive me away, I will naturally stay with Master."

Lin Chuan said softly as he set the table for everyone.

"So, if I drive Chuan'er away, he will go to Liyue?"

Xu Hanyi didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear, so she frowned slightly and asked with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.

"Master will never drive me away. I will honor you for the rest of my life."

After that, Lin Chuan sat down next to Xu Hanyi and gently pinched her face with his fingertips.

"Traitor...traitor, there are still people here..."

Xu Hanyi's cheeks instantly turned red. She raised her hand to slap Lin Chuan's hand away, but for some reason, she just gently placed her palm on the back of his hand.

"What are you afraid of? Sister Li is one of us." Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue with a smile.

Li Yue, who was still immersed in the joy of Lin Chuan's unwillingness to say "no", suddenly came to her senses and her expression became flustered.

"One of our own?"

Xu Hanyi's expression suddenly froze and he slapped Lin Chuan's hand away.

"Yes, Sister Li is not unaware of our relationship. Besides, Sister Li has a close relationship with Master and has taught her alchemy skills without reservation. If she is not considered one of our own, then who else can be considered one?" Lin Chuan said seriously.

"..."

Xu Hanyi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "That's true, but..."

She frowned and bit her lower lip, always feeling that there was something strange about it, but with so many thoughts tangled in her mind, she couldn't grasp the strangeness for a moment.

"Okay, Master, let's eat. I'm hungry."

Jiang Wanying, who was sitting on the other side of Xu Hanyi, urged with a soft voice and a smile on her face.

"Okay, let's eat."

Xu Hanyi nodded, the doubts in his eyes were temporarily put aside, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to start eating.

After a while.

"Liyue, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern.

"Ah? No...no."

Li Yue looked panicked, her voice trembling unconsciously.

"Then why are your hands shaking when you pick up some food?"

Xu Hanyi stared at Li Yue's trembling wrist, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"..."

Li Yue's throat tightened, and her lips moved twice, but she couldn't squeeze out a word.

You can't say that it's because I have a secret crush on Lin Chuan that I'm so flustered in front of Xu Hanyi, right?

"Master must have scared Sister Li by joking with her earlier."

Lin Chuan smiled as he helped Li Yue out of the predicament and served food to everyone in order.

First it was Xu Hanyi, then Jiang Wanying beside Xu Hanyi, and finally when it was Li Yue's turn, she trembled even more violently, and couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Hanyi's expression out of the corner of her eye.

As expected, when Xu Hanyi saw Lin Chuan picking up food for Li Yue, his face suddenly darkened.

"Chuan'er, it's okay for family members to serve food to each other, but how can you serve food to guests?"

Xu Hanyi stared at Lin Chuan's chopsticks stretched over the Liyue bowl, and his tone became a little colder.

"It's okay, Master. We're all family. Sister Li won't despise us, right?"

Lin Chuan seemed unaware of the change in atmosphere and put the dishes into Li Yue's bowl with a faint smile.

"..."

Li Yue said nothing and put the dish that Lin Chuan picked up into her mouth.

"If Chuan'er continues to act like this and doesn't even know the etiquette, I will punish you."

Xu Hanyi put down his chopsticks, his tone suddenly became stern, and his eyes fell heavily on Lin Chuan.

"Master, Sister Liyue was frightened by your joke. Ah Chuan picked up some food for Sister Liyue because he cared for her. Why are you blaming Ah Chuan?"

Jiang Wanying shook Xu Hanyi's arm, with a hint of coquettish anger in her tone.

"..."

Xu Hanyi pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Li Yue's face. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "What do you want to eat? I'll help you pick it up."

"..."

Li Yue noticed the encouraging look from the person beside her, gritted her teeth, and feigned dissatisfaction, "No thanks. You can't even order your apprentice around. How stingy! I taught him alchemy without reservation."

"Sister Li, don't be angry. Eat your food. If you want something else, tell me and I'll get it for you. Master promises he won't say anything."

Lin Chuan looked anxious, but his chopsticks deliberately paused beside her bowl, and a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes.

"..."

Seeing this, Xu Hanyi's lips moved slightly, and finally turned into a sigh. He said with a cold face: "You'd better teach Chuan'er the alchemy skills to be as good as yours."

"What if I train Xiao Linchuan to become an alchemist who surpasses me?" Li Yue raised her eyes to meet Xu Hanyi's gaze.

"Then Chuan'er will be considered half your disciple." Xu Hanyi replied.

"..."

A hint of joy flashed across Li Yue's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She curled her lips, her face full of disgust: "I can't even teach my own apprentice, so I don't care about your apprentice."

"Really don't want to? I gave you a chance." Xu Hanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Li Yue.

"Why do I need a disciple? No." Li Yue turned her head away and refused decisively.

"Don't forget it."

Xu Hanyi spoke lightly, his tense back quietly relaxed, and a barely perceptible hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

It seems that Liyue really doesn't have any special feelings for her Chuan'er.

"Why are you all busy chatting? Is the food I cooked not tasty?" Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head.

In the following time, he focused on picking up food for Xu Hanyi and Jiang Wanying. Of course, he also picked up some food for Li Yue from time to time.

Xu Hanyi initially gave Lin Chuan a subtle warning look, but Lin Chuan seemed not to notice. Every time he picked up food for Li Yue, he would say something like, "Sister Li, thank you for your hard work in teaching me how to make pills."

These words made Xu Hanyi swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He could only pretend not to see them and acquiesce to his actions.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, the dinner was almost over.

Li Yue exchanged a few pleasantries with Xu Hanyi before turning around and leaving without looking back, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.

"The moon is beautiful tonight. Ah Chuan, please go for a walk with Master. I'll take care of this."

Jiang Wanying smiled gently, her eyes moving between the two of them.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, senior sister." As he said that, Lin Chuan took Xu Hanyi's hand.

"..."

Xu Hanyi glanced at Lin Chuan lightly, his eyes moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing, letting him lead the way and follow him out the door.

……

Silver-like moonlight poured down from the sky, dyeing Tianjian Peak a hazy silver-white.

"Master, why do you look so unhappy? Did someone make you unhappy? Tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger."

Lin Chuan shook their holding hands, with a sly smile in his eyes.

"Really? I feel pretty good about it." Xu Hanyi's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I'm glad Master isn't angry."

Lin Chuan looked up at the starry sky and didn't glance at the person next to him again.

Xu Hanyi felt increasingly depressed and called out in a cold voice, "Chuan'er."

"Ok?"

Lin Chuan turned his head and glanced at her slightly furrowed brows, his tone filled with a hint of nonchalant doubt.

"Draw out the sword."

Xu Hanyi broke away from Lin Chuan's hand and walked to the opposite side of him.

"..."

Although he had already expected to be caught by Xu Hanyi for sparring when he picked up food for Liyue to test Xu Hanyi's attitude and bottom line, Lin Chuan still couldn't help feeling scared at this moment. The shadow left by that night was like a brand, and it now emerged clearly in his memory.

"Go ahead and let me see how much progress you have made in this period of time." Xu Hanyi said in a cold tone, with an unquestionable aura surrounding him.

"Then Master must be careful."

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He also wanted to take this opportunity to explore the gap between himself and Xu Hanyi.

"It's Chuan'er who should be careful."

Xu Hanyi's voice suddenly sounded from behind Lin Chuan, and the coldness and sword energy approached.

Lin Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instantly turned around and held the sword to block, and the sword collided with the incoming force with a buzzing sound.

"Master, that's not fair. You should let me make the first move."

Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, his feet were running at high speed, the shadows of the sun and the moon appeared in his eyes, and his body dodged and moved between Xu Hanyi's sharp sword moves, and the sound of the sword blade brushing against the corner of his clothes rang out one after another.

"..."

Xu Hanyi ignored Lin Chuan, but stopped suddenly after chasing for a while.

In an instant, a second bright moon appeared in the sky. Simultaneously, frost spread rapidly across the ground, centered around her, like a spider web, freezing everything around her in the blink of an eye.

"Even the sword domain has been used. It seems that there is no way to avoid the pain today."

Lin Chuan smiled bitterly in his heart, then took a deep breath and flew away quickly.

But the speed at which the cold spread was as fast as thunder. In just a moment, the biting cold completely enveloped him, and he was trapped in the Frost Moon Sword Domain.

"town!"

Xu Hanyi put two fingers together and pressed down in the air. The cold moon floating above the sky, wrapped in biting cold, slowly descended towards Lin Chuan.

Feeling that countless sword energies carrying a biting chill were sweeping towards him, Lin Chuan took a deep breath, suddenly spread out his palms, and a five-colored lotus slowly emerged in his palms.

"go with!"

Lin Chuan let out a low shout, and the lotus with five-colored light suddenly flew out of his hand, rushing towards the slowly approaching Han Yue like a meteor.

At the same time, he tapped the ground with his toes and rushed towards Xu Hanyi like an arrow.

"Luoyu!"

Countless sword energies burst out from the sword body, like a torrential downpour, falling towards Xu Hanyi.

“It’s raining.”

Xu Hanyi's expression was calm as he gently waved the sword in his hand. In an instant, even more powerful sword energy burst out from the tip of the sword, like a rainstorm meeting a strong wind, instantly suppressing Lin Chuan's attack.

Facing the overwhelming sword energy, Lin Chuan did not dodge or evade. While he used his body to resist, purple-golden lightning bolts with the power to destroy the world fell towards Xu Hanyi without warning.

Xu Hanyi frowned slightly and swung a sword towards the purple-gold thunder.

“No phase!”

At the moment when Xu Hanyi swung his sword to shatter the thunder, Lin Chuan suddenly turned around and stabbed towards the other side of the Frost Moon Sword Domain.

Wherever the sword pointed, the space trembled violently, and a gap suddenly appeared in the originally indestructible sword domain.

"..."

Xu Hanyi looked at Hanyue, a corner of which was broken by the lotus, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

"Master, your sword domain isn't solid either. I... shit?!"

The moment Lin Chuan stepped out of the Frost Moon Sword Domain, his pupils suddenly shrank. Densely packed long swords were lined up in front of him, and an overwhelming murderous aura swept over him like a wave.

"Master has two...two sword domains?"

Lin Chuan's Adam's apple rolled as he stared at the long swords lined up in front of him. He felt a chill running up his spine to the back of his neck. The pressure from this sword domain was several times stronger than the Frost Moon Sword Domain just now.

"Does Chuan'er have any other means?"

Xu Hanyi stood with his hands behind his back, the long swords in the sword domain trembled together, and the murderous aura surged like a tide.

"..."

Lin Chuan looked at the Qing Xiao in his hand, and finally shook his head and sighed: "My disciple has been lazy in his practice, and I am willing to accept the punishment from the master."

"Chuan'er, don't underestimate yourself,"

Xu Hanyi raised his hand to sheath the sword, and the sword domain suddenly dissipated along with the sword intent in the sky. "Master did not suppress your realm tonight. I am surprised that you can break through the Frost Moon Sword Domain."

"Master...you won't punish your disciple?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes.

"..."

Xu Hanyi remained silent, staring at Lin Chuan, whose growth rate far exceeded expectations. Suddenly, he spoke softly, "If Chuan'er lost his cultivation, would you blame your master?"

"!!!"

Lin Chuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he stared at Xu Hanyi, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

……
