Having almost fully explored the storage ring, Song Cha decided to check on Long Aotian.
She wanted to know what Long Aotian’s current cultivation level and situation were.
Song Cha left her cave dwelling, planning to first meet her master, the little fox, and You Ming An before investigating Long Aotian’s recent circumstances.
Of course, the cultivation world still highly respects teachers, so Song Cha decided to visit Chu Man first.
When Song Cha arrived at Chu Man’s cave dwelling, she noticed that the door was not closed.
Because of her close relationship with Chu Man and the open door, Song Cha walked straight in.
Upon entering, Song Cha intended to find Chu Man in the training room.
But after just a few steps, Song Cha heard Chu Man’s voice.
The moment she heard the voice, Song Cha knew Chu Man was in the guest room.
So, Song Cha headed towards the guest room.
Before she even reached the guest room, she could already hear the conversation inside.
“Cha’er is truly fortunate to have a contract beast like you,” Chu Man’s voice carried a light, relaxed tone, indicating a good mood.
“No, it’s the greatest luck for my master to have a teacher like you,” You Ming An’s voice was gentle.
Song Cha: “…”
Listening to the conversation in the guest room, Song Cha felt like she was hearing something incomprehensible.
Since when did You Ming An and Chu Man get along so well?
Weren’t they supposed to dislike each other?
When did they start having such warm conversations?
Out of curiosity, Song Cha didn’t push the door open immediately.
She wanted to understand the clues behind their reconciliation.
With this expectation, Song Cha continued to listen.
“You Ming An, take these pills back and cultivate well. Protect Cha’er properly in the future.”
Chu Man had been listening to You Ming An boast about the immortal master-disciple relationship all afternoon.
Now, she was very satisfied and decided to reward You Ming An.
“Thank you, Master.”
You Ming An felt that she had been working on improving her favorability with Song Cha’s elders all afternoon.
Now, Song Cha’s elder, Chu Man, must have a very high opinion of her, which is why she was given these items.
You Ming An carefully picked up the pills and pushed the door open to leave.
Just as she opened the door to the guest room, she saw Song Cha standing at the entrance.
“Song Cha, my dear sister.”
The moment You Ming An saw Song Cha, her eyes lit up.
Song Cha had been in seclusion for several days, and You Ming An, who hadn’t seen her for days, missed her a bit.
“Sister You Ming An,” Song Cha called out.
Chu Man, who was originally in the guest room, also heard Song Cha’s voice.
She opened the door and walked out.
“Cha’er, you’re out of seclusion,” Chu Man said.
Song Cha nodded, “Master, during this cultivation, I feel like I’m about to break through to the mid-stage of Golden Core.”
“About to break through to the mid-stage of Golden Core?”
Chu Man was obviously in a good mood.
“Good, as expected of my disciple.”
After saying this, Chu Man took out a storage ring and placed it in Song Cha’s hand without allowing any refusal.
“Cha’er, these are the pills I recently refined. Take them.”
“Don’t refuse. What your master gives you, you take,” Chu Man said.
Hearing Chu Man’s words, Song Cha didn’t refuse anymore.
After rewarding Song Cha for her fast breakthrough, Chu Man couldn’t help but look at Song Cha again.
Song Cha was really beautiful.
Song Cha looked so cute.
Her eyes were so bright.
Being gazed at by such eyes made one feel like they were her entire world.
Although…
Chu Man clearly knew she wasn’t Song Cha’s whole world.
Song Cha was still hesitating and hadn’t agreed to be with her.
But it didn’t matter, Song Cha had said she was willing to try to accept her.
So, Chu Man slowly approached Song Cha, wanting to get closer to her.
Finally, Chu Man’s lips were about to touch Song Cha’s, but at the last second, Song Cha turned her head, and the kiss that was supposed to land on Song Cha’s lips ended up on her cheek.
Song Cha, who was kissed on the cheek, was a bit stunned.
She hadn’t been close to Chu Man for a long time, and now this sudden closeness left her feeling a bit dazed.
But this feeling quickly faded away.
However, while Song Cha’s feeling quickly faded, someone else was left in shock.
Watching Chu Man kiss Song Cha’s cheek, You Ming An was a bit dumbfounded.
She didn’t understand why Chu Man would kiss Song Cha’s face.
No, did Chu Man just try to kiss Song Cha’s lips?
The moment this thought appeared in You Ming An’s mind, she dismissed it.
Chu Man was Song Cha’s master, her elder.
How could she possibly kiss Song Cha on the lips?
So… it must have been her imagination, right?
They were supposed to have a pure master-disciple relationship, as she had always praised.
And kissing on the cheek was even easier to explain.
In the modern TV shows You Ming An had watched, she had seen many people kiss on the cheek.
There were often scenes of elders kissing children’s cheeks on TV.
So, there was only one explanation.
Song Cha had been in seclusion for a long time, and Chu Man missed her a lot, so she expressed her closeness with a kiss.
Song Cha’s face.
After figuring out the reason, You Ming An, whose eyes had darkened, regained her calm.
The scene of Chu Man kissing Song Cha’s face reverted back to a pure master-disciple relationship.
However, even though she knew that Chu Man and Song Cha only had a pure master-disciple relationship, the fact that Chu Man kissed Song Cha’s face still made You Ming An very unhappy.
But now, You Ming An was just a contract beast and couldn’t stop these things.
So, You Ming An decided to endure it.
Not only did she have to endure it, but she also had to make Chu Man like her even more.
Once Chu Man liked her more, she could have the support of her elders to be with Song Cha.
And once she was with Song Cha, her position in Song Cha’s heart would definitely be higher than Chu Man’s.
After all, a partner is a lifelong companion.
At that time, as Song Cha’s partner, she could stop Chu Man from being so close to Song Cha.
Thinking about the beautiful scenes of being with Song Cha in the future, You Ming An felt extremely happy.
So, even though she was a bit angry seeing Chu Man kiss Song Cha, she still showed what she thought was her best smile.
Although… her smile now made people feel cold, but since no one noticed, it was naturally ignored.
“Master, the bond between you and the master is truly touching,” You Ming An said in a sincere voice, though the words were meant to be sarcastic.
