Xiao Shuyu was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I don't know either. I think maybe Uncle Mu said something about me in front of Master. Master has always been very cold to me recently."
Liu Shu was a little surprised. He felt that the problem between Junior Sister Xiao and Master seemed to have existed before Junior Uncle Mu had any contact with Master.
Before he could express the question in his mind, he heard Xiao Shuyu say again: "It's no wonder, I am the only female disciple in Ruohuai Palace. It is understandable that Uncle Mu loves Master and has a grudge against me."
Hearing what she said was reasonable, Liu Shu also felt that it made sense.
He patted Xiao Shuyu on the shoulder and said: "Junior sister, don't worry. When I go down the mountain with Master tomorrow and see Master Mu, I will explain it to you and Master Mu. I think it will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved. "
Liu Shu has always been an upright person. In this regard, he is very similar to Xiao Yuesheng. The only difference is that he is not as cruel as Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Shuyu was silent for a long time and then said: "Senior brother, I understand your good intentions, but the misunderstanding between me and Uncle Mu... I can't explain it in a sentence or two, let alone with senior brother in the middle, it's even harder to explain. How about that?" ...Senior brother, just think of it as doing me a favor. Tomorrow is Master’s birthday, so let me accompany Master down the mountain, okay?”
Although Liu Shu was kind, he was not stupid. He could vaguely understand what Xiao Shuyu meant.
After all, Xiao Shuyu was Liu Shu's junior sister who had watched her grow up. Liu Shu knew what she was thinking better than anyone else.
Even though the junior sister didn't mention anything in front of him, Liu Shu could tell that the junior sister had a strange feeling for the master.
Liu Shu was very embarrassed. He didn't want to make his junior sister sad, but he also didn't want to make his master angry.
Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Shuyu knew that she still had a chance, so she just knelt on the ground without giving up.
"Senior Brother Liu, I beg you, please help me. If this continues, Senior Uncle Mu will definitely hate me even more. Maybe... maybe after a while, I will be driven down the mountain. "She said, holding Liu Shu's thighs with both hands, acting like a rogue.
As a senior brother, Liu Shu was extremely kind to the junior brothers and sisters in the palace. Especially the only junior sister, he loved Youjia as if he were his own sister.
At this moment, this junior sister was crying and fussing, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Shu quickly helped Xiao Shuyu up and said: "That's all, I promise you, but... if I tell the master directly, I'm afraid I will be punished by the master. When I pretend to be sick tomorrow, you will take my place. I’ll just go.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuyu immediately burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, senior brother. Senior brother Liu is the best."
Liu Shu sighed helplessly and only told her, "Shuyu, you must not go astray. You know the kind of person Master is. He is extremely rigid in certain matters. If you insist on going against him, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive if I come up with my own thoughts."
Xiao Shuyu was startled and immediately understood the meaning of Liu Shu's words.
She also wanted to defend, "Senior Brother Liu misunderstood. It's not what he thought. I just... just wanted to explain it clearly to Senior Uncle Mu."
But Liu Shu just shook his head. He didn't know what the little girl was thinking.
Liu Shu didn't expose her, he just let her do what she wanted.
Seeing Liu Shu's leaving figure, Xiao Shuyu's eyes darkened.
She murmured, "Who do you think you are? Do you think I'm not worthy?"
Xiao Shuyu's fists clenched loudly and she stared at the direction where Liu Shu disappeared.
The next day, Mu Yichang got up early and was getting ready to wash up when Gu Liushang came.
Mu Yichang: "Why are you here so early?"
Gu Liushang's hair was not tied into a bun today, but was lightly tied half-up on the back of his head. A few strands of hair were scattered on his forehead, and he looked very heroic.
In addition, he had not applied makeup today, and the sharp edges on his face were not covered up at all. He looked more like a handsome boy than a beautiful girl.
Even his clothes are simple and elegant brocade clothes, which look like women's clothes or men's clothes.
He is so handsome in such a neutral dress, so eye-catching.
Mu Yichang was afraid that someone would see his flaws, so she said, "Ah, why don't you dress up well today? It's your Uncle Xiao's birthday after all, so you must be polite."
With that said, she took Gu Liushang's hand and asked him to sit in front of the dressing table.
Mu Yichang put her hands on his shoulders and said, "Master, can I help you dress up again?"
Gu Liushang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not refuse. He even asked casually, "Is my outfit ugly?"
"It's not ugly, but Master wants Ah Zhan to look better."
Gu Liushang didn't know what Mu Yichang meant. Admittedly, this was also his original purpose.
So, he pretended to say: "I thought that Master Xiao is not an outsider, so there is nothing wrong with this. Anyway, the protagonists today are Master Xiao and Master. I dress up so well, but it doesn't look good."
Mu Yichang felt helpless.
If you really think so, you shouldn't have to get involved, just don't come. Why bother?
Gu Liushang saw her helpless expression in the mirror in front of him, and immediately lowered his eyes and said, "Master, don't you want to take me with you?"
Mu Yichang was shocked and thought, could this kid have the ability to read minds?
She swallowed and said with a smile: "How come? It's more lively if there are more people. I don't want to take you there."
The young man smiled and said, "I knew Master would never go back on his word."
As he said that, he stood up and said, "Master, don't worry. I was just worried that if Master Xiao was with Master, Master would have no intention of taking care of me and would not love me in the future. Now, I thought about it A lot, I have figured it out, today is not to cause trouble for Master and Master Xiao, I just don’t understand Master Xiao, and I am worried that Master will be wronged in the future if he follows Master Xiao, so I persist like this."
His eyebrows were twisted into a smile, "At least let the disciples know each other better, so that they can safely hand over the master to Master Xiao."
It was rare for him to say such profound and righteous words, but Mu Yichang felt that something was wrong.
However, Mu Yichang didn't care about anything else at the moment, she just wanted to dress up Gu Liushang.
If he goes down the mountain like this, someone with sharp eyes might notice that he is a man.
Especially the bulging Adam's apple on his slender neck is really abrupt.
Mu Yichang asked Gu Liushang to sit down again and still insisted, "Okay, okay, whatever you want is fine, but today is a good day, so Master must let you go out beautifully."
The corners of Gu Liushang's lips raised slightly, but he did not reject her again.
He sat quietly, his peach-blossom eyes staring at the serious Mu Yichang in the mirror without blinking.
Mu Yichang hadn't tied up his hair for a long time. Two quarters of an hour later, she successfully combed Gu Liushang's hair askew.
Gu Liushang looked at the bun that was tilted to one side and couldn't help laughing.
This smile made Mu Yichang's face turn a little red.
She was a little apologetic, "I haven't combed your hair for so long that it's a little rusty. I'll take it off and comb it for you again."
I thought Gu Liushang would say it's okay, but I didn't expect that the man actually responded, "Okay."
Mu Yichang had to take apart his hair and rearrange it.
But the final result was still unsatisfactory.
It was already the appointed time, but Gu Liushang's hair was still a little crooked, and she herself tied it into a ponytail at any time and tied it with a hair crown.
Gu Liushang's makeup was quite delicate by her, but she did not apply makeup.
Even Gu Liushang's clothes were a high-neck gauze skirt carefully selected by Mu Yichang, while she wore a casual plain skirt.
Gu Liushang was originally good-looking, but after such a scene, Mu Yichang was transformed into a simple and elegant little girl next to him.
Gu Liushang looked at his master like this and felt very satisfied.
On the other side, Liu Shu sent someone to tell Xiao Yuesheng early in the morning that he was infected with the cold and could not travel with him today.
Just when Xiao Yuesheng was thinking about who to bring with him, Xiao Shuyu came.
"Master."
Xiao Yuesheng raised his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes turned cold.
"My master has reminded you many times to knock before entering." Xiao Yuesheng warned.
Xiao Shuyu's eyes darkened. It was clear that before she expressed her feelings to the Master, the Master had never cared about her rudeness and tolerated her minor flaws.
But now, everything has changed.
Xiao Shuyu whispered: "Disciple, remember it."
Xiao Yuesheng hummed and did not accuse her again, "What's the matter with you?"
Xiao Shuyu's hands were behind her back, holding a small wooden box tightly in her hands. She squeezed the wooden box too hard, and her fingertips turned white.
It was a black jade she got half a year ago. She was afraid that others might not like it, so she carved it into a majestic blue dragon herself and prepared to give it to her master as a birthday gift.
But the master treated her so coldly that he even wanted to take Liu Shu down the mountain without him.
She was in great pain and scared.
Xiao Shuyu was afraid that the master would sneer at her gift, and she was even more afraid that the master would not care about it or even want the mysterious jade.
After a long silence, Xiao Shuyu carefully put the wooden box under her sleeves and said, "Master, just now Senior Brother Liu told me that I cannot go down the mountain with you today, and specifically asked me to accompany Master."
Xiao Yuesheng raised his eyes to look at her and said, "No need."
Xiao Shuyu's fists tightened.
In fact, this was a result she had expected for a long time, but the moment she heard it with her own ears, she still felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
"Master, do you hate me so much?" she asked almost through gritted teeth.
Xiao Yuesheng did not answer her question, but just said: "Today, I will find other disciples to accompany you. You should practice well in the palace and don't wander around."
After that, he put down the book in his hand, got up and went out, heading towards the room.
Xiao Shuyu knew that he was determined not to let her follow him, so she could only chase after him, holding back the resentment in her heart, and said: "This disciple has some dealings with Junior Sister Gu from Shuiyue Palace, and we are quite familiar with each other. Master, bring along I can also spend more time with Uncle Mu, right?"
Xiao Yuesheng didn't stop for a moment, obviously not caring much about what she said.
Xiao Shuyu added: "Junior Sister Gu has an arrogant temperament. If there is no acquaintance to divert his attention, I'm afraid he will try his best to pester Uncle Mu today. Master doesn't want this, right?"
It is true that although Xiao Yuesheng made an appointment with Mu Yichang today, he did not intend to be intimate with her.
Both of them are emotionally indifferent, and they don't expect to be passionately in love. They just hope to be able to work together and get to know each other well.
Therefore, Xiao Yuesheng didn't care much whether Mu Yichang brought someone with her, nor did she care whether the person she brought was arrogant.
only……
Xiao Yuesheng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly remembered the last time the three of them traveled together. Gu Liushang looked at him with guarded and repulsive eyes.
Originally, Xiao Yuesheng was not good at interacting with others, especially when the other party was a girl who hated him. Xiao Yuesheng was even less good at it.
This feeling is not very good. If someone can divert his attention, it will make Xiao Yuesheng less nervous.
After a long silence, Xiao Yuesheng turned to look at her and said, "If you become an enemy of Uncle Mu again, I will never be as merciful as last time."
Xiao Shuyu's lowered eyes held hatred, but she could only respond, "Disciple can't do it anymore."
With her assurance, Xiao Yuesheng no longer refused to accompany her.
Xiao Shuyu was extremely happy to get Xiao Yuesheng's tacit approval.
She hurried back to her room to freshen up.
Although she had dressed up just now, she was still nervous and couldn't help but check it carefully to make herself look more refined and beautiful.
Xiao Shuyu could not deny that she was not outstanding in appearance. She was the best-looking among the monks of the Immortal Sect.
If she were in the mortal world, her appearance would be considered coquettish and beautiful, but in the Shuanghua Sect, it would be a bit unsightly.
Admittedly, there is no shortage of Ling Shuangshu's contribution.
The disciples in his palace are all extremely beautiful, gentle and pleasant, which is simply enviable.
In addition to the Minting Palace, the Shuiyue Palace is also a leader. The Shuiyue Palace is the first and second beauties of the Shuanghua Sect.
Even though Xiao Shuyu and Mu Yichang had no intersection in the past, they were still jealous of her from the bottom of their hearts.
Which woman in the world doesn't want to have a peerless appearance, so why should she be so glamorous and grab the attention of others?
Now that the woman from Shuiyue Palace had extended her claws to her master, Xiao Shuyu hated her even more.
Unable to compete with her, Xiao Shuyu had to overpower her in terms of makeup and accessories.
When the four of them met, Xiao Shuyu looked at Mu Yichang's plain face and felt even more angry.
This woman is really good at what she does. She went out without applying any makeup. With a bare face, she was compared to a pompous pheasant.
What a vixen! Xiao Shuyu cursed inwardly.
When Mu Yichang saw Xiao Shuyu, her eyes sharpened.
She thought that according to Xiao Yuesheng's temperament, he would not take Xiao Shuyu with him no matter what, but she didn't expect that he would take her with him.
Today is a good opportunity to deal with her.
Mu Yichang was happy in her heart, but with an apologetic look on her face, she said to Xiao Yuesheng, "Senior Brother Xiao, I was in a hurry today and didn't dress up properly. Please don't hold it against me."
Xiao Yuesheng nodded gently, "It doesn't matter."
Mu Yichang took out an exquisite hair crown from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Xiao Yuesheng, "This is the birthday gift I picked for Senior Brother Xiao. I don't know if Senior Brother Xiao likes it."
