The figure approaching the peak was none other than Lianyi, whom I met just last night. Today, she's wearing a green gauze dress, carrying a basket in her hand. There's a unique aura about her. Xia Liu almost didn't recognize her. What's the saying, with clothes on, I almost didn't recognize you. Exaggerated, exaggerated. In truth, Xia Liu remembered Lianyi's appearance. He had his own ideas. Since Lianyi is a pharmacist of the Immeasurable Sect, he plans to consult her on some matters at some point. If he forgot what she looked like, it would surely be awkward. Like yesterday's ending, Xia Liu's divine sense still couldn't get even a little bit closer to her. It seems Lianyi's background is unusual. Being able to possess treasures that can block divine sense must have been given to her by the upper echelons of the Immeasurable Sect. "Senior, are you there?" Soon, Lianyi arrived at the top of Changle Peak. She stood in front of the cave, holding the basket, her head slightly bowed. Her posture was proper, but due to nerves, she kept puffing her cheeks, then relaxing them. "Yo, isn't this Lianyi, what did you bring for me?" Considering this girl's shyness, Xia Liu half-jokingly said. "Hello Senior, I've come to offer you an apology, this is the lunch I spent all morning making." After a moment of silence, Lianyi gathered her courage and spoke to Xia Liu inside the cave. "Lunch, huh... bring it in." Just as Lianyi was about to step forward, her body stopped involuntarily. She bit her teeth, then clenched her fists and entered the cave. The cave entrance was small. Upon entering, it opened up into a large space. There were many stone-made furniture, tea sets. Without Xia Liu's instruction, Lianyi dared not make any movement inside the cave, keeping her head down all the time. Afraid that her casualness might anger Xia Liu. "What lunch did you bring for me?" Xia Liu came out from the inner chamber, looking at the extremely shy Lianyi, his interest piqued. "I made some medicinal dishes for you, hoping it suits your taste..." "You're a pharmacist, right?" "Mm, I'm just a novice pharmacist, but I can assure you that these medicinal dishes are carefully crafted, there won't be any problems. I tried them before coming, they're not poisonous." Xia Liu was drinking tea, and upon seeing Lianyi's innocent look, he spat out his tea immediately. "Girl, are you silly or what? You've been calling me 'senior', do you think I'd eat mortal food?" "Ah! Sorry, senior, I..." "Stop, can you have a little backbone? Why only apologize when you've done nothing wrong? Since you brought it, not eating it would be disrespectful to you, leave it here." Lianyi's response and her actions didn't sync. A few seconds later, she reacted and took the dishes out of the basket. "You should be afraid of me, why did you bring something for me?" While eating, Xia Liu asked. "Because I disturbed you last night, I wanted to make up for the mistake, that's why I came..." "No, your eyes betrayed you, this wasn't something you initiated willingly." Xia Liu stared deeply at Lianyi for a moment and suddenly pointed out her flaw. Lianyi was almost scared to tears by Xia Liu. Her head nearly drooped to her chest, her hands tugging at her clothes endlessly. This was a sign of excessive nervousness. Xia Liu saw through it in an instant: "Did your master tell you to do this?" "Yes, my master was afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in the Immeasurable Sect in the future, so she asked me to come and apologize to you." Lianyi didn't dare to deceive Xia Liu. Because it was just as he said. "Ha, really a naive little girl. Your master is overthinking, I'm not that kind of person, as if I would have such thoughts." Xia Liu shook his head helplessly, this girl couldn't lie. Trying to fool him, is that possible... "Senior, please don't misunderstand, my master had no other intentions, she just wanted me to bring a meal of medicinal dishes to you." Latest content published on NoveI(F)ire.net "I've understood your master's intention. These medicinal dishes are specially concocted, after eating, I feel my internal cultivation has slightly improved. It's no exaggeration to say that this slight improvement might normally take ten days to achieve." Xia Liu's expression was very serious. From these medicinal dishes, Xia Liu couldn't deduce Lianyi's master's abilities; but it's certain that her master's knowledge and experience in medicine far exceeded his own. "Wow, so impressive?" Lianyi asked with a dumbfounded look. "Of course, and you said you made it yourself, I guessed it on the first bite." What else could Lianyi say? It was all arranged by her master, what could she do, she was innocent too. "You should have some too, you're not even at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, it's not safe to be out there." "Senior, can I also eat?" Lianyi had walked five miles, and hadn't eaten anything since morning, she was starving. And she hadn't tasted her master's cooking for ten years, so she really wanted to eat. Even if sitting opposite to a formidable senior, she couldn't refuse her master's cooking. Not so much for the deliciousness of the dish, but for nostalgia, a memory. When she bit into the meatball, tears almost welled up in her eyes. It was the taste from those years, exactly the same! "Don't get too excited, I'll leave it all for you." With memories flooding in, Lianyi couldn't stop, her chopsticks spun endlessly, and the dishes on the stone table were devoured by her in the next few minutes. Because she ate so fast, Lianyi couldn't control a small burp. Her face instantly turned beet red. But fortunately, she quickly turned her head to the side, hoping Xia Liu wouldn't notice. "I'm sorry, senior, it was too delicious, I couldn't help it..." Realizing something amiss, Lianyi started apologizing. "It's okay, you've piqued my curiosity. What's your relationship with your master, how's her cultivation level?" "Since I learned to think independently, my master didn't care much about me, as for her cultivation, it should be at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi cultivation." Lianyi dared not conceal anything. Before coming here, her master had specifically instructed. No matter what the senior atop Changle Peak wanted her to do, she must comply. Even if it meant jumping off the mountain, she had to do it. "Heh, the Immeasurable Sect is really full of hidden talents." "I wouldn't know, I haven't even reached the sixth level of Qi cultivation..." Lianyi was somewhat dejected, it's not that she wasn't anxious, but she didn't have that talent. Even after attempting to break through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation several times using Spirit Grass, she failed every time, and eventually decided not to worry about it anymore...
