"But, today in the car..."
"That was just a test. I wanted to know where the boundaries of my Grandmaster are."
"And now, do you have an answer?"
"I do! But," Gong Leitian exhaled a puff of smoke and said sothing that made Mu Mingyu’s heart skip a beat, "Dummy, I want to have another talk with Grandmaster."
"Talk about what?" Mu Mingyu was quite nervous.
"You don’t need to worry about that. It’s not your concern. When the ti cos, just keep watch for us so no one sees." Gong Leitian gave him a glance.
Mu Mingyu felt a bit conflicted. Why did it feel like he was assisting an elder in an affair?
By the ti Mu Mingyu left the villa, it was already quite late. The stars already filled half the sky, and the moon hung at its highest point.
After Mu Mingyu drove the car a bit further from the villa, Gong Leitian suddenly said, "Grandmaster, can I have a private word with you?"
Mu Qiuniang didn’t seem surprised at all. She nodded and asked Mu Mingyu to stop the car: "Mingyu, you head back first."
"Auntie, why don’t I wait for you?" Mu Mingyu was evidently a little uneasy.
"I can use a spell to return. Taking you along would just be cumberso. By the way, go check if Anuo is back."
Mu Mingyu had no choice but to comply: "Yes, Auntie!"
Had it not been for the fact that Auntie wasn’t just an ordinary woman, he would never have left her in the middle of the night, especially not with a dangerous man.
Mu Qiuniang watched as Mu Mingyu’s car lights faded into the distance.
"Your junior is quite filial!" Gong Leitian said.
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang nodded, then added, "You’re not bad yourself!"
Gong Leitian chuckled, "Grandmaster, please don’t praise . I’m nowhere as pure as he is, physically or ntally."
"Everyone lives their life differently, experiences different things. Naturally, their lives are different and incomparable."
"Has anyone ever told you that you’re actually quite gentle, Grandmaster?"
Mu Qiuniang nodded, "When my Master, senior brothers, and sisters were around, they used to say I was too soft-hearted, which easily led to trouble. They advised to be ruthless when dealing with enemies, to eradicate them completely."
"They were right, Grandmaster. You can’t be soft-hearted with enemies."
As they walked back side by side, they chatted without ntioning any forbidden topics. Gong Leitian even inquired about Mu Qiuniang’s childhood, discovering that she was quite naive, often unintentionally irritating others while remaining oblivious herself.
"Hehehe... Grandmaster, wasn’t your Master quite troubled by you?"
"Yes, that’s why Master specifically instructed my senior brothers and sisters to look after . At ho, it was fine, but they were worried I’d be deceived outside, so they kept a tight rein on , listing rules on how to handle various situations. But ultimately, it boiled down to one rule—when confronted with sothing unclear, say nothing, use your fists."
"Could it be that back in the day, so many seniors got beaten by Grandmaster because you felt you couldn’t out-talk them?"
Mu Qiuniang nodded without modesty, "Lack of emotional intelligence, make up with strength!"
"That’s a classic line, Grandmaster. Who told you that?"
Mu Qiuniang thought for a mont and replied, "I saw it online."
"So, you’re a netizen."
"Anuo likes it."
"Grandmaster, you’re really good to Grandmaster." Gong Leitian’s desire to talk waned a bit.
"He’s also very good to ."
Gong Leitian shook his head, "Many people are good to you, Grandmaster, but there’s only one person who can treat you with a completely wholehearted approach. Everyone has their own selfish motives and secrets they don’t want others to know, but he’s different. To him, the entire world consists only of you... perhaps that’s what makes Grandmaster truly moved!"
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang nodded.
"When you suddenly realized that I was a bad junior, were you disappointed, Grandmaster?"
Mu Qiuniang hesitated a bit, "Actually, you’re quite good. You just think about things you shouldn’t, just change that."
"Grandmaster, aren’t you afraid I’ll make a bigger mistake?" Gong Leitian suddenly looked up, staring into Mu Qiuniang’s eyes.
In the dark, his gaze was bold and compelling, filled with questioning intensity.
This ti, Mu Qiuniang hesitated not at all, "You can’t beat !"
Gong Leitian felt a bit stifled, "So, Grandmaster, are you saying that as long as you don’t want it, no one can force you?"
"Isn’t that right?"
"It is, but Grandmaster, don’t you think that’s a bit disrespectful?"
"So, you shouldn’t think about it anymore."
"..." But could he really control it? Gong Leitian turned his head, not looking at her. Why did he feel Grandmaster was naive at such monts?
No wonder she agreed right away. Did Grandmaster really trust him?
How could she know what soone else was thinking? She couldn’t possibly be following him day and night. Of course, she could use so spells to implant forbidden techniques in his mind, but given Grandmaster’s nature, she could be cruel to enemies, but when it ca to her "own people," she tended to be soft-hearted.
"A grand celebrity like Grandmaster must have many people who want to marry him, right?" Gong Leitian suddenly said.
"Hmm!" Although most of the glutinous rice fans have accepted Jiang Nuo is married and that she is his wife, so still can’t help but shout: [Jiang Nuo, I want to have your baby!]
[Jiang Nuo, I love you!]
[Jiang Nuo, I want to marry you!]
...
She had gotten used to it. To her, the glutinous rice fans could say anything, but it didn’t an they would actually do anything. Often, they were just words typed on keyboards.
"Grandmaster, have you ever thought that so female fans might secretly be admiring Grandmaster too?"
Mu Qiuniang was slightly taken aback, "Are there?"
"Why not? Grandmaster is a big star, an idol out of reach for them. Since they can’t touch him, isn’t it normal to fantasize about him in their minds?"
But Mu Qiuniang wouldn’t fall for it. She simply stared at Gong Leitian, "You’re just making excuses for yourself."
Gong Leitian admitted, "Yes, I am making excuses for myself. But, Grandmaster, this is sothing unavoidable, you can’t help it, can you?"
"I don’t know others, I can ignore them, but not you." Mu Qiuniang said earnestly, then added, "Don’t take it too far!"
"What counts as too far?" Gong Leitian asked with a smile.
Mu Qiuniang was conflicted.
Gong Leitian imdiately laughed, "Hehehe... Grandmaster, I finally understand why your Master and senior brothers enjoyed teasing you so much?"
Having grown up listening to Grandmaster’s stories, Gong Leitian naturally delved into many biographies of Mu Qiuniang, which included many tales of her interactions with her Master and senior brothers and sisters. He knew them all by heart.
Mu Qiuniang almost asked, "Why?"
Fortunately, she caught herself and retorted, "Little Gong, don’t forget, I’m your elder!"
