Chapter 990 Apprentice

"Gray Snake, how long will it take for Li to arrive?"

"It will be soon, Miss Alicia. According to calculations, Mr. Li will appear in the town at the foot of the mountain this afternoon."

In front of the Taoist temple on the top of Taixu Mountain, Alicia, wearing the newly designed uniform of the previous civilization's Fire Moth team, sat at the stone table, with the gray snake waiting beside her like a butler. His mission was very clear, which was to serve Alicia exclusively, and it was an order given by Mobius himself.

"Tea is served. Come and help me. I am just a small armed puppet. I can't move these things~"

A little man who looked like Cang Xuan was sitting on a big ball, with a teapot full of tea on his head. His two chubby little hands were resting on the edge, and he was swaying towards Alicia.

"Will the armed puppet be unable to move the tea set? Oh, little Cang Xuanzhishu, are you trying to be lazy again?"

Alicia took the teapot from the head of the little man named Cangxuan Book, and pinched her little face with her other hand.

"Wow! Don't move! Although, although you have higher authority than me, and armed puppets like me are made to serve humans...but! You can't touch my face!"

Cang Xuan Zhi Shu raised his head to resist, but was quickly hugged by Alicia. She didn't hear a word Cang Xuan Zhi Shu said.

"So cute, so cute. Before Li comes over, Xiao Cang Xuan Zhi Shu, can you keep me company and relieve my boredom~?"

"Let me go! I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough! I will be obedient and won't be lazy, just leave the serving of tea to me! You idiot, help me!"

Unfortunately, no matter how Cang Xuan Shu asked for help, Hua in the Taoist temple ignored him. After all, even she herself could not resist the person that Alicia was targeting.

"Master, I'm going down the mountain."

A girl in ancient costume walked out of the Taoist temple. Her name was Lin Chaoyu. She was one of the seven disciples Hua accepted when he was dealing with the collapse in Shenzhou, and the oldest one. Now she has become a master, founded her own sect in Shenzhou, and became a partner with another disciple of Hua.

She had gone up the mountain today originally to visit her master, but when she saw Hua's old friend coming to visit, she no longer had the desire to stay.

"Go."

Hua's voice came from inside the room, accompanied by the sound of stir-frying, she seemed to be preparing lunch.

"..."

Lin Chaoyu glanced at Alicia, who was sitting at the stone table holding the Cang Xuan Book tightly in her arms, and the gray snake who was standing quietly beside her. She felt that her master's surroundings were quite lively, so she didn't need to worry about him.

"Oh, my lovely girl, why don't you stay and have dinner before you leave?"

Alicia rested her head on Cang Xuan Shu's black hair, trying to keep Lin Chaoyu from leaving.

"No, I have something to do at home, and there are not many empty seats at the table, so I won't bother you any more."

For some reason, Lin Chaoyu had an inexplicable liking for the pink-haired girl in front of him, as if this old friend of his master had a naturally approachable aura. It was truly magical.

"What a pity. Let's play together again next time. I want to find a chance to ask you how you got together with your boyfriend~?"

"Boyfriend...? Ah, I see. Do you have someone you like as well?"

"Yes~?"

"If it's you, I believe that once you open your mouth, no one can refuse... But, Chao Yu, let me ask you one more question, have you invited your loved one to accompany you for life?"

"Hmm, yes~?"

"Then the result...ah, sorry, Chao Yu was abrupt."

"No need to apologize. Although I didn't get a positive response at that time due to various reasons, I believe he definitely understands that he just delayed for too long. The 'floral fragrance' he exudes has attracted more and more 'butterflies'~?"

"..."

So that's how it is. The other party is a playboy.

Lin Chaoyu had made a judgment in her heart, but she didn't want to say too much about the relationship between her master and his old friend. She just said goodbye again and left Taixu Mountain.

……

By the afternoon, earlier than Gray Snake had expected, Yaeri had already arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain. From here he could already sense the lingering scent of Alicia and other familiar people, and it couldn't have been too long.

Grayshu's family did come as well, and judging by the trajectory, they should be with Danzhu Cangxuan.

Going shopping?

Yaeri got off the carriage and did not go up the mountain immediately. Instead, she began to observe this small town where she had not seen for a long time and where some major innovations had taken place.

After all, we are blessed by the immortals, so neither war nor destruction can affect this place.

"Big brother, you are so beautiful~"

A little girl with a bun on her head was holding a candied haws and staring at Yae Ri without blinking.

"Be cool, little sister~"

Yae Li leaned over and touched her head.

"Hello, beautiful brother, you are so handsome~"

"...Alas, this child is incorrigible."

Yaeiri had been thinking that if she behaved herself, she would give her another string of new candied haws, but now... snap, it's gone!

The little girl had no idea that she had missed out on 100 million. She just watched innocently as Yaezaki walked to a fruit stand and picked out a few pears and put them in her pocket.

"Boss, can I have one of the freshest snow pears?"

"..."

Yae Li glanced around and saw a girl whom she had only seen in the photo sent by Wei Wei coming to the same fruit stand as her.

Perhaps noticing Yae Ri's gaze, Lin Chaoyu, who turned back halfway to buy food on the way, glanced sideways, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but quickly restrained it.

"Girl, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Yae Li, who originally wanted to say hello, suddenly lost his mood after hearing what Lin Chaoyu said. He silently put away the fruit, paid the bill and was about to leave.

Lin Chaoyu glanced at Yae Li's pink hair and immediately thought of Alicia on the mountain. He reacted, "Could it be... that you are also an old friend of Master?"

"..."

Since she was recognized, Yae Li couldn't just leave. She stopped and nodded, "Lin Chaoyu, Hua's eldest disciple, although I haven't met you before, I have seen you in the photo."

"Photos...what are they?"

"portrait."

"I see. Please forgive me for my short-sightedness. I just don't know what I said wrongly to make you unhappy?"

"Look at my face, can you tell anything?"

Yae Li walked closer to Lin Chaoyu and asked her to carefully observe every detail of her face.

"You...are a beautiful woman."

"Wrong! Take a closer look?"

Yaeji looked at her with disappointment, wondering why Hua would accept such a fool as his apprentice?
