I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 235: Inside Yanjiang Pavilion

Chapter 235: Inside Yanjiang Pavilion

Liu Yu wanted to continue asking questions, but she needed to find out at least what Qin Yiyao's background was. Liu Yu naturally wanted to make some small connections with her, but she couldn't be completely ignorant of her origins.

Moreover, Liu Yu was also well aware that the Yan Dynasty was a very small place.

The appearance of such a peculiar person is all the more strange.

However, after chatting casually on the boat for a while, Liu Yu fully felt Qin Yiyao's indifference, arrogance, and unapproachability.

She didn't seem to want to talk to her much. Although she wasn't exactly mean, she was certainly quite cold. Liu Yu tried to get some information out of her, but she couldn't get anything out of her no matter what she tried. On the other hand, the young master Gu was quite talkative. Although he didn't say much, he spoke very pleasantly. Before she knew it, Liu Yu had started talking to him. Then, when Gu Heng told her that he was really just a mortal, Liu Yu was still filled with doubt and surprise.

Is he really just an ordinary person?

Liu Yu simply couldn't believe it.

However, since that's what they said, Liu Yu couldn't press them for details. Moreover, it would be extremely impolite to inquire about someone's cultivation level, especially when they were trying to hide it.

It is easy to attract malice.

After waiting on the ship for fifteen minutes.

Finally, they reached the island shore. Before the boatman had even stopped, Qin Yiyao skipped off the boat, leaving her little footprints on the soft, damp mud by the river.

"Thank you both for offering me a ride."

Liu Yu politely thanked Gu Heng. Gu Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "It was nothing, Miss Liu, you're too kind."

Liu Yu smiled and nodded.

Then, she looked at Qin Yiyao, who had been standing silently to the side, seemingly intending to remain cold, and with a slight smirk, she walked towards Yanjiang Pavilion without saying a word.

No rush, we might meet again in the future, Liu Yu wasn't in a hurry.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

After watching the unexpected guest leave, Gu Heng looked at Qin Yiyao, who seemed somewhat lost and unsure of where to look, and asked softly.

He wasn't a dull-witted idiot; he saw clearly what was going on with the girl's "abnormal behavior" on the ship.

She doesn't seem to like Miss Liu Yu very much.

But when did Qin Yiyao become so distant from outsiders? On ordinary days, the clinic would occasionally have patients, as well as his neighbors and some acquaintances who would come to visit. This little girl was very sensible and would even take the initiative to greet them.

Although this does not change the fact that she is generally completely lazy when it comes to housework.

"Look at you, Miss Liu didn't mean any harm. She just rode with us for a while. Look at your mouth, it's so full of gossip."

Qin Yiyao looked up at him, her expression blank and aggrieved, and bit her rosy lips. "I..."

She suddenly realized that she might have been too...repulsive just now?

It was because she didn't want anyone to disturb her as she was traveling on the same boat as her master!

When did I start to care about these moments alone with Gu Heng?

Qin Yiyao did not answer.

Because she genuinely didn't know how to respond to Gu Heng. "Never mind, it's alright. Next time I'll take you out more, without any other people, okay?"

Gu Heng patted her head, and before she could respond, he pulled her toward the only building on the island.

Qin Yiyao's cheeks flushed slightly as he held her warm, large hand and spoke to her with a smile in his voice.

"It's easy to get bored if you don't add other people."

She stubbornly argued, but a sweet feeling inexplicably arose in her heart.

"Then I won't take you out anymore, okay?"

Gu Heng smiled and pinched Qin Yiyao's rosy and tender cheeks again.

Then Qin Yiyao got anxious and immediately started muttering things like, "If you're not going to take me out, you might as well let me die," and then Gu Heng smacked her on the head again.

The master and apprentice bid farewell to the boatman and walked across the winding stone bridge. Yanjiang Pavilion was built on the lakeside of the island, surrounded by lush and verdant forests, and the scenery was quite beautiful. Yanjiang Pavilion was already bustling with activity. It was said that the "musical prodigy" who was going to play music tonight was ready, and everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of wonderful music she could play.

Gu Heng hadn't been particularly interested in the "musical prodigy" everyone was talking about, but now he was intrigued.

Everyone's talking about it; it's incredibly mysterious.

Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao found a seat towards the back, because the front row was mostly occupied by wealthy young men and refined young masters from aristocratic families.

That's why I'm late.

At this moment, in a private room of Yanjiang Pavilion, Bai Feier pushed open the door and saw the beautiful figure playing the zither in tranquility, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaoyu!" she called out.

The music stopped abruptly.

"Fei'er!"

Liu Yu stood up and embraced Bai Feier. Clearly, she had been waiting for the newcomer all along.

"long time no see."
