"Only two days? That's good! "Ning Fengzhi heaved a sigh of relief. If it was only two days, he could still afford to wait.
"Oh yes, Sister Xiaotao, aren't you always with Obuchi? Why are you back first? Where's Obuchi?"
Ning Rongrong's lips parted slightly as she asked softly.
She couldn't hide the concern in her voice, and her sapphire-like eyes were filled with longing.
She hadn't seen Lu Yuan for two years, and her longing for him had accumulated to a certain extent. Now that she saw Ma Xiaotao and heard that Lu Yuan was about to return, she couldn't control her longing for him, and felt as if it was about to explode.
"Master still has some things to deal with, so he'll be back two days later. He asked me to come back first to make some preparations."
Ma Xiaotao said gently.
She and Lu Yuan were already siblings now, and Ning Rongrong was Lu Yuan's fiancée. Therefore, Ma Xiaotao's attitude towards her was a lot friendlier.
"Master also asked Qiu 'er to stay behind. He wants to see Qiu' er the moment he returns."
Ma Xiaotao looked at Wang Qiu 'er as she spoke.
"Did brother really say that? Then I'll stay behind. I want to see brother as soon as possible. "
As Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Qiu 'er's large, pinkish-blue eyes immediately lit up. She hadn't seen Lu Yuan for two years, and she missed him dearly. He was her favorite brother.
Two years had passed, and Wang Qiu 'er had grown up a lot. She was 1.75 meters tall, and her figure was slim. Her legs were long and slender, and her face was shockingly beautiful. She exuded a youthful and energetic aura.
Ma Xiaotao revealed a faint smile when she heard Wang Qiu 'er's words. Lu Yuan was right. Wang Qiu' er would be obedient the moment his name was mentioned. She couldn't be any more obedient.
"Since Obuchi will be back soon, I'm relieved. The Martial Soul Palace's actions have made me uneasy over the past few days."
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly.
Ma Xiaotao and Yan Shaozhe's eyes flashed when they heard that, especially Ma Xiaotao. She had personally participated in the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Moreover, she was very clear about Lu Yuan's plan. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but admire Lu Yuan's wisdom.
He had considered almost everything, including Ning Fengzhi's possible reaction. Everything was within his control.
When she saw that Ning Fengzhi wanted to team up with Lu Yuan to fight against the Martial Soul Palace, she felt an inexplicable sense of joy in her heart.
"By the way, why didn't I see Elder Dugu today?"
Ning Fengzhi relaxed slightly. Only then did he notice that Dugu Bo was not around.
"Elder Dugu has some things to take care of, so he won't be able to get away for a few days. Sect Master Ning will be able to see him in a few days."
A strange glint flashed across Yan Shaozhe's eyes as he spoke with a faint smile.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I didn't see Elder Dugu."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly.
Looking at the sky outside, Ning Fengzhi stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I still have some things to do in the afternoon. Since Obuchi will be back in two days, I'll come back two days later. I'll take my leave now."
"Take care, Sect Master Ning." Yan Shaozhe also stood up to send him off.
Yan Shaozhe walked him all the way to the door before he returned.
"Teacher!" After settling Wang Qiu 'er down, Ma Xiaotao returned to the meeting hall and bumped into Yan Shaozhe.
"Teacher, did you put Elder Dugu under house arrest?"
Ma Xiaotao immediately thought of something when she saw that Dugu Bo wasn't around.
"You know that this is Master's order. Dugu Bo's sense of smell is too sharp. Even though we were very discreet when we eliminated the stubborn rebels in the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo still discovered it.
"To ensure that the plan is carried out perfectly, I could only seal his soul power according to Master's orders and put him under house arrest.
"Some people from the medicine hall were also imprisoned. There were a total of sixty-three people, including the sect leader of the Nine Star Begonia Sect, Ye Lingsu. They were all imprisoned. Right now, Elder Hongchen is leading the people from the Soul Tool Hall to guard them."
Yan Shaozhe said.
"Teacher, you didn't mistreat them, right? Little brother Lu Yuan said that we're not allowed to humiliate them, and we're not allowed to hurt them either. Everything will be handled by him when he returns."
Ma Xiaotao said seriously.
"Mistreat them? How would I dare to? How would I dare to go against Master's orders? However, what did you call Master just now? Did you call him little brother? "
Yan Shaozhe furrowed his brow and said, "Xiaotao, there's a hierarchy. Even though Master treats you very well, you can't overstep your boundaries."
"Teacher, you're mistaken. Master acknowledged me as his elder sister. We're siblings now. He's both my master and my younger brother."
Ma Xiaotao said.
"I see. That's a good thing. I wanted you to follow Master because I wanted the two of you to develop your relationship. If you can follow Master, you'll be happy for the rest of your life. Of course, your relationship with Master is not bad."
"Master is someone who values relationships. Whether it's love or kinship, he treats Holy Lady Qiu 'er very well. Now that you've become his elder sister, you'll have someone to rely on. I'm relieved."
"However, Xiaotao, you must have fallen in love with Master."
Yan Shaozhe sighed softly.
As soon as he said this, Ma Xiaotao's delicate body suddenly trembled, and her beautiful face was quickly dyed with a blush, delicate and charming.
"Master doesn't have such thoughts," Ma Xiaotao said softly.
"I know. With His Majesty's handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, and incomparable talent, all the women in the world who have seen him will find it hard to forget him. There are even more admirers. However, His Majesty's standards are very high. There are very few who can catch his eye."
"You're actually not bad. It's just that your personality and identity made it difficult for you to gain His Lord's favor from the very beginning. That's why I let you stay by His Lord's side. I wanted to create opportunities for you. But now, it seems that the effect wasn't very good. His Lord recognized you as his sister because he sensed your thoughts."
Yan Shaozhe sighed.
Ma Xiaotao was silent for a moment when she heard this. Then, she said, "It's already not bad. I'm satisfied that I can stay by Master's side. I don't ask for too much. It's good enough that I can maintain my relationship with Master, just like Holy Lady Qiu 'er.
"I'll hide my feelings in my heart. Master doesn't want to find me anymore. If I say it out loud, it'll only add to his troubles."
"It's rare that you're so self-aware. I've underestimated you."
Yan Shaozhe was a little surprised.
"People have to grow, right? I've also grown a lot by following Master."
Ma Xiaotao smiled as she spoke.
