Su Yuan and Ming Shuang went into the inner room. Zhaozhao looked at the closed door, feeling quite puzzled. What did Daoist Ming Shuang want to talk to Su Yuan about? Why couldn't she remember that Master had mentioned this part?
Unable to figure it out, Zhaozhao turned around and looked at Jian Yun for help.
Jian Yun shrugged and shook his head. "Don't look at me. I don't know either."
Alas, fine then. Zhaozhao drooped her eyes and turned back.
That dejected look was completely different from when Su Yuan was around.
Jian Yun held back for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Little Zhaozhao, come here. Come here. I want to ask you something."
"What do you want to ask?" Zhaozhao walked over absent - mindedly and sat down next to her third senior brother.
"Why are you so obedient to that guy named Su... Yuan?" Jian Yun silently added the second half of the sentence in his heart: I've never seen you be this obedient to me.
Hearing her third senior brother's words, Zhaozhao was unhappy. She seriously corrected him. "His name is Su Yuan, not Su... Yuan. It's very impolite of you to say so, senior brother."
Facing his serious junior sister, Jian Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, you're so cute. Okay, okay, Su Yuan. I know his name is Su Yuan."
Jian Yun stopped laughing and pretended to be serious as he asked again. "Why are you so obedient to Su Yuan?"
Only then was Zhaozhao satisfied, and she began to think about her senior brother's question.
Actually, she didn't know why she was so obedient to Su Yuan. She just wanted to be obedient, and there was no need for so many reasons.
But her third senior brother obviously wasn't satisfied with this answer. He even thought she was perfunctory.
"How could there be no reason? Most things in this world have reasons, just like when you're hungry, you need to eat, and when you're thirsty, you need to drink water."
Zhaozhao vaguely felt that this was completely different from eating and drinking, but she really couldn't figure it out. In order not to let her third senior brother get tangled up in this topic, she casually said, "Maybe it's because Su Yuan is very, very good to me, so I have to be obedient to him."
"If someone is good to you, you'll be obedient. Then would you be willing to do anything he asks?" Jian Yun caught a glimpse of an extra shadow on the ground from the corner of his eye and deliberately asked.
Zhaozhao, with her back to the temple door, had no idea what was going on. She only caught a few key words in her senior brother's words and nodded seriously. "Yes, I'm willing."
"Fine. You're really innocent." Jian Yun laughed, a bit mischievously.
"Zhaozhao, let's go."
Su Yuan's voice came. Zhaozhao turned around and saw that he had indeed come out at some point. She trotted over to Su Yuan with a smile.
"You're out?"
"Yes."
"What did Master Ming Shuang talk to you about?"
Thinking of what Ming Shuang had said just now, Su Yuan shook his head and said softly, "It's nothing. Let's go back."
"Okay, then." Since he didn't want to say, Zhaozhao didn't dare to ask further.
She comforted herself that everyone had their own little secrets, and demons were no exception.
Zhaozhao said goodbye to her third senior brother and Daoist Ming Shuang, and then was led away by Su Yuan.
A gust of wind blew through the courtyard, making the peach tree sway. It was truly a beautiful sight of "falling blossoms in riotous profusion". Jian Yun lazily stretched.
"You're setting your sister up! You deliberately led Zhaozhao to say such things, and Su Yuan heard it all." Ming Shuang glanced at Jian Yun, walked under the peach tree, poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it.
"I'll have a cup too." Jian Yun walked over disrespectfully, gulped it down rudely, and then added unhurriedly, "I did it on purpose for him to hear."
"What are you thinking? Doing such a thing... Haven't you heard the saying 'It's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage'?"
"What marriage?!" Jian Yun got angry as soon as he heard this. "Bah, bah, bah! What marriage? Has our master agreed? Have I agreed? Has our Zhaozhao nodded and agreed?! Don't talk nonsense."
Ming Shuang couldn't help laughing. "Don't be so angry. It's just a matter of time. Your master understands this too."
Hearing this, Jian Yun was even more unhappy. He mumbled there, "I'm just not happy. So what if he's a Yinglong? Our junior sister is the pearl of Wutong Mountain. I think that dragon clearly hasn't figured out his feelings for our Zhaozhao yet. So I have to give him a little push. Besides, it should be him who confesses first. We can't let Zhaozhao figure it out first and get ahead of him. Isn't there a saying among you humans, 'The one who takes the initiative first is more likely to lose'? I definitely have to make sure my little junior sister wins!"
"Pfft—!" Ming Shuang felt her teeth ache from hearing this nervous speech. "You should read less of that useless chicken - soup stuff."
After saying that, she put down the teacup and left, leaving Jian Yun alone there scratching his head.
Ming Shuang looked back at the silly boy and thought, Just try to stop them. I've already sent my thing. I'm definitely going to make them fall in love!
At the same time, at the entrance of Penglai Immortal Mountain, Su Yuan was deep in thought as he looked at the book that the little guiding boy had secretly given him.
On the cover of the book were clearly written several big characters - "The Ultimate Love Handbook".
Su Yuan's speechless look was really rare. It made Zhaozhao extremely curious. She stood on tiptoe and tried to look at the book in Su Yuan's hand, but Su Yuan held the book too high, and she wasn't tall enough, so she couldn't see it.
"Su Yuan, what book is it? Let me have a look."
A big hand landed on her head. Su Yuan firmly refused. "It's not a good thing. Don't look."
The more he didn't let her see, the more curious Zhaozhao became. Her eyes were fixed on the pink book cover. She thought that she must find an opportunity to secretly take a look!
After leaving Penglai Mountain, Zhaozhao counted on her fingers how far it was from here back to the Demon Administration Bureau. The more she counted, the more excited she became. She looked up at Su Yuan with bright eyes and asked, "Su Yuan, how are we going back?"
There was a little secret expectation in her heart.
However, Su Yuan's words shattered Zhaozhao's little hope. "We'll use the Earth - Shrinking Formation to go back."
"Oh..."
If it were on a normal day, Su Yuan would definitely have noticed how reluctant Zhaozhao's "oh" was. But now, Su Yuan's mind was full of what Ming Shuang had said and what Zhaozhao had said under the peach tree.
He was worried about Zhaozhao's heart one moment, and the next moment, he couldn't help but chew on the fact that he was "good to her" over and over again. The more he thought about it, the softer and more sour his heart became.
She really didn't understand anything, right? That's why she said those things and did those things.
Would it be the same if it were someone else?
Su Yuan felt as if his heart was split in two. One half was glad that he hadn't done anything excessive and hadn't deliberately led Zhaozhao to misunderstand. The other half couldn't help but have some dark thoughts. Since she didn't understand anything, wasn't it just the right time for you to make a move?
Entangled and conflicted all the way, Su Yuan carried Zhaozhao, who had fallen asleep halfway, into the villa.
He didn't take her to the Demon Administration Bureau, nor did he take her back to the Chen family. Instead, he took her to his own place.
Gently laying Zhaozhao on the bed, Su Yuan stared at her face for a while, and then tapped two acupoints on Zhaozhao to make the sleeping girl sleep more soundly.
Then, a mirror suddenly appeared in Su Yuan's hand. He pointed the mirror at Zhaozhao's chest.
