Her gaze, as clear as water, like the tinkling of a winter spring, could see the pebbles at the riverbed; his gaze, deep as an abyss, like a thousand-year-old deep lake, the surface calm yet revealing nothing within, only a shattered wave of starlight.
Her gaze was too pure, so pure it seed it could reflect one’s inner heart. Gong Leitian’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, masking his thoughts with a composed expression.
Mu Qiuniang’s eyes shifted for a mont, as if she thought of sothing but remained silent and continued sipping her tea.
"Being casual doesn’t equate to offense; it’s treating oneself as an insider. Alright, your Master’s ways, I never stayed long in the Master, I’m not clear about it, just be yourself. Do whatever makes you comfortable," Jiang Nuo continued, "Actually, we invited you over this ti because there’s sothing we’d like your help with!"
"Grandmaster, please go ahead." Gong Leitian used Jiang Nuo’s words as a distraction, not wishing to focus too much on soone he shouldn’t, lest he arouses any suspicion.
"This ti, falling into soone else’s hands even caused your honored Master to punish you. Ultimately, it was my own lack of vigilance. So, your honored Master’s intention is for you to give special training, so that before I even understand what the Cultivation World is, I won’t be taken down by others first."
He said this while squeezing Mu Qiuniang’s hand, "Wifey, I’ve been listening to you and going for special training, so you can’t be mad at anymore."
Mu Qiuniang’s attention was drawn by his squeeze, "I wasn’t mad at you."
"Then can the special training be canceled?" Jiang Nuo joked.
"No way!" Mu Qiuniang, not realizing he was joking, seriously denied.
"Alright then, since you’re the boss in our family, I can only listen to you." Jiang Nuo’s seemingly aggrieved tone was full of affection. He turned his head and said to Gong Leitian, "You see, your honored Master will never allow to slack off, so you mustn’t hold back because of her. You must strictly enforce the special training on ; otherwise, it won’t be effective and would instead harm ."
"I understand, Grandmaster. Don’t worry, I will arrange this properly. When would you like to start the special training?"
"The sooner, the better. I’ve already had the company announce a one-month break. After that, I must return to the public eye, or it might cause so commotion, so my ti is quite tight as well."
Gong Leitian expressed his understanding. Indeed, given Jiang Nuo’s current fa, with so many fans watching him, his sudden absence from the public eye would definitely cause suspicion and panic among his fans.
For example, even now, although the entertainnt company Jiang Nuo signed with had already announced that Jiang Nuo had long wanted to take a break and recharge, and now was the perfect ti since work wasn’t so hectic, taking a month’s "leave," asking all fans to anticipate Jiang Nuo’s return.
However, it still caused many fans to freak out, rushing to leave comnts under the company’s official Weibo: [OMG! @Jiang Nuo, could sothing have happened to him?]
[A car accident? An accident while acting? Or an encounter with a crazy fan? Or is... @Qiuniang pregnant?!]
[Please clarify, @Jiang Nuo, why suddenly take a leave? Is it really just to recharge? Could soone be hurt? Tell us the truth, our fans are not just rational fans, we will handle it appropriately.]
[Yes, exactly, what’s really going on with our @Jiang Nuo? Isn’t he currently filming the variety show "We’re in Love" with @Qiuniang?]
[Give us back our @Jiang Nuo!]
[We want our idol, we want Jiang Nuo!]
...
This announcent just went out, hasn’t been a day or two, and the company’s official Weibo had been reposted tens of millions of tis, with fans going crazy and leaving ssages one after another.
Fortunately, there were still so relatively rational fans who stated that regardless of why Jiang Nuo took leave, as long as everything is "fine," that’s the best. If it’s just a "white lie" from Jiang Nuo, they would wish to the heavens to ensure he’s "safe and sound and returns soon."
Even such a ruckus over a month’s leave, if he stayed out of the public eye for a long ti, who knows what would happen?
"No matter what the special training results are this ti, I will always make ti in the future to periodically conduct special training for myself to catch up with everyone as soon as possible."
Jiang Nuo didn’t point out who "everyone" was, but everyone could hear that "everyone" actually referred to Mu Qiuniang.
Mu Qiuniang had progressed too fast, so fast that she was hundreds of years ahead, reaching such high cultivation. If he indeed stopped trying, he might never "catch up" with her.
If that’s the case, everyone would look down on Jiang Nuo.
A man who doesn’t even have the ability to keep up with the woman he loves, what right does he have to love her?
Knowing Gong Leitian was injured, Jiang Nuo didn’t engage in idle chatter. After discussing the timing and details of the "special training" with Gong Leitian in front of Mu Qiuniang, he quickly had Mu Mingyu send him back to rest, emphasizing: "Rember to take and apply dicine once you’re back. Don’t worry about your honored Master, given your special circumstances, she won’t bla you."
"Grandmaster, I’ll head back first!" Gong Leitian nodded and left.
When he left, his pace was swift and steady, showing no signs of being injured.
Jiang Nuo said to Mu Qiuniang, "Wifey, your nephew is truly amazing. Despite how hard you hit him, he didn’t even flinch. Look at how he walked just now; if I didn’t know beforehand, I would surely think he wasn’t injured... truly admirable!"
Jiang Nuo genuinely admired Gong Leitian, not only for his outstanding ability but also for his principled nature and respect towards Mu Qiuniang. Not many can achieve what he has.
"You have a good impression of him," Mu Qiuniang stated, not asked.
"Of course, seeing him is like seeing a superhero from a movie; I’m imnsely impressed. Superman is a hero in movies, but your nephew is an actual hero in the real world. In tis of chaos, he would surely be a General of Constant Victory, leading troops, earning remarkable achievents, and garnering respect..."
Jiang Nuo ca up with endless complints for Gong Leitian.
Previously, because of Gong Leitian’s excellence, Jiang Nuo had been slightly cautious of him. But after understanding their relationship and interacting with him, Jiang Nuo truly admired this man.
He thought, a man like Gong Leitian is a real man/true hero! As for himself, he is rely an ordinary person living in the spotlight.
"If I stood in Leitian’s position, I think nine tis out of ten, I wouldn’t do as well as him."
Such a special departnt, who knows how many talented and eccentric individuals there are, each with their traits, surely prideful and dismissive of others. Managing a group of people whose eyes are above their heads like Gong Leitian does is no small feat.
This also shows that even though Gong Leitian always has a stern face, in reality, his emotional and intellectual intelligence is exceptionally high!
