Gu Shengyin admired her beauty privately for a mont before saying, "Teacher, I would like to return ho for a few days. In a few days, it will be my grandmother’s birthday, and this ti I would like to spend more ti with her."
For such a minor matter, the Great High Priest would never refuse.
He nodded slightly, "Just take care of yourself, and rember to be safe."
Gu Shengyin nodded her head, ready to step out, when she caught sight of the Great High Priest about to close his eyes again.
In that mont, she felt that this man was very lonely.
The Great High Priest only felt sothing suddenly approaching, his instinct was to wave it away, but he realized it was his little disciple.
He paused, and in that mont, found his neck embraced.
He stiffened, having never been treated this way by anyone before.
"...Linyin?" he asked, puzzled.
Gu Shengyin, feeling the sowhat tense body in her arms, suddenly felt a surge of happiness.
"Teacher, Yinyin thinks you are truly the best teacher in this world!"
Was she being coquettish? The Great High Priest understood in his heart.
However, since Linyin turned six, she had not asked him to hold her anymore.
He felt so comfort in his heart, yet his face maintained its usual expression as he said indifferently, "You are getting older now, next ti... do not act so improperly."
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, he felt the arms around his shoulders tighten even more.
"I will not!" Gu Shengyin said righteously.
"I grew up with Teacher, you are the closest person to , and my greatest support. If I don’t hold you close, whom should I?"
The Great High Priest felt helpless.
He had only taken three disciples in his life. His first disciple had long since exhausted his lifespan and was no longer in the world.
The second disciple was now a renowned powerhouse on the Tianxuan Continent.
Only this third little disciple, his only female disciple, had been brought up by him since she was a child. He inevitably spoiled and indulged her, which made her a little willful.
Yet, facing such a Linyin, he could not bear to be harsh.
Just as he was thinking, Gu Shengyin spoke again out of the blue, "Teacher, when is your birthday? Over these years, Yinyin has never heard you ntion it."
Birthday? He paused for a mont. How long had it been since anyone had brought up this matter?
The people who knew his birthday had long disappeared from this continent, and he himself had never paid much attention to it. Hence when Gu Shengyin asked, he actually had to think carefully for a mont.
"Why do you need to know about these trivial matters?" he asked.
Gu Shengyin felt a twinge of heartache for him, expressing her dissatisfaction, "How can this be a trivial matter? It is clearly an extrely important event."
Eventually, under the persistent coaxing and bothering of Gu Shengyin, she finally learned a specific date, and left the Xuantian Tower contented.
She did not know that after she left, the man in the tower raised his left hand and touched his shoulder, where it seed the warmth from the recent touch lingered, mixed with a faint fragrance of a young woman.
This warmth, it was sowhat nostalgic.
Afterward, a quiet smile blossod on the corners of his mouth.
Though exceedingly faint, it was stunning enough to dazzle the world.
It was a pity that no one witnessed this rare sight of a century.
"Linyin ah..." he murmured the na of his little disciple, feeling that she seed to have changed in so way.
Yet, this Linyin seed even more lovable than before.
