He was caught bribing Liu Meier.
"Stand up, do you understand the rules? Did I allow you to sit next to me?" Leng Youmeng's voice was cold and clear, like ice that had not melted for a thousand years.
Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained as steady as a mountain.
If he were easily scared, his image in Revered Master's heart would surely plummet.
"Revered Master, what do you mean? We are Dao Companions, isn't it normal for me to sit next to you? Dao Companions holding hands, sleeping together...
Leng Youmeng's expression was furious, her eyes as sharp as knives, and her voice was practically squeezed out from between her teeth: "Shut up!"
This little Disciple is so bold. If she didn't stop him now, who knows what outrageous words he would blurt out.
Chen Yuan picked up the small hand that was blocking his lips, held it in his hand, and squeezed it. Hmm! Revered Master's small hand is so smooth, just a little cold.
Chen Yuan also compared his hand with Revered Master's hand, thought about it, and concluded that Revered Master's hand was a little bigger than Baixi's hand.
"Have you touched enough?" Leng Youmeng's cold and clear voice rang out again, then she glared at him fiercely and pulled her hand back directly.
Chen Yuan felt a bit awkward, then changed the subject, saying:
"Revered Master, is there anything you want? We've been Dao Companions for so long, and I haven't given you anything yet!"
"No need!" Leng Youmeng withdrew her gaze and said indifferently.
It had only been a few days since they became Dao Companions, what did he mean by 'so long'?
"Revered Master, even if you don't want it, I must give it. Don't worry, even if it's plucking the moon from the Nine Heavens, your Disciple can get it for you."
Hearing this, Leng Youmeng directly pinched Chen Yuan's ear with her jade hand and twisted it.
"Ow! It hurts, it hurts! Revered Master, what are you doing~"
"Don't boast!" Leng Youmeng simply said this one sentence, then withdrew her jade hand.
"Revered Master, I'm serious." Chen Yuan leaned close to her ear, his expression firm.
He didn't look like he was lying.
Feeling the tingling sensation by her ear, Leng Youmeng recalled that night three days ago, and a hint of blush appeared on her cold face.
She reached out and pushed Chen Yuan's face away, "You... why are you so close?"
Chen Yuan countered by grabbing Leng Youmeng's wrist.
Looking at her slightly flushed face, he quietly asked, "Revered Master? Are you blushing?"
Leng Youmeng was a little annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you have nothing to do, then go out first."
"Revered Master, I thought you wanted to stay with me every day, that's why you wanted to personally teach me!" Chen Yuan showed a disappointed expression, "It seems I was being presumptuous."
Chen Yuan's expression was dejected. He slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Revered Master, this Disciple will not disturb you any longer."
With that, Chen Yuan turned and walked out.
Looking at Chen Yuan's back, Leng Youmeng moved her lips, but the words to keep him ultimately didn't come out.
Chen Yuan left the bedchamber, his expression immediately returning to normal. His experience chasing girls in his previous life told him that he only needed to go just far enough.
When you know the other person has a good impression of you, you just need to be a little bit 'tea-like' and plant the seed of her feeling sad because of you in her heart, and this seed will take root and sprout in her heart.
Therefore, Leng Youmeng had just wanted to call out to Chen Yuan, but due to her cold personality and status, she was never able to open her mouth.
Chen Yuan sneaked into a side hall.
When Liu Meier saw Chen Yuan approaching, she was about to salute, but Chen Yuan covered her small mouth with his hand.
"Shh!" Chen Yuan made a shushing gesture, "Sister Mei'er, come with me."
Chen Yuan pulled Liu Meier into a courtyard.
"Senior Brother Chen, you... you're hurting me." Liu Meier's beautiful brows furrowed, and the spot where Chen Yuan's large hand held her was slightly red.
"Ah! Sorry, Sister Mei'er, I was afraid Revered Master would see." Chen Yuan explained, quickly letting go of Liu Meier's wrist.
Liu Meier pulled her hand back, her earlobes slightly red, and she felt a little scared inside.
In the middle of the night, if Senior Brother Chen did something excessive to her, what should she do?
As she was lost in thought, a large hand waved in front of her eyes, interrupting her thoughts.
Chen Yuan asked curiously, "Sister Mei'er, what are you thinking about?"
Does Sister Mei'er have something on her mind? She looks so preoccupied.
"No... nothing!" A blush appeared on Liu Meier's face, but it was obscured by the night and not very clear.
"Senior Brother Chen, why did you bring your servant here?" she asked softly.
"Sister Mei'er, you usually take care of Revered Master personally. Do you know if Revered Master lacks anything?" Chen Yuan asked.
Liu Meier looked puzzled, "Lacks what?"
"Right, I want to give Revered Master some small gifts." Chen Yuan took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and slipped it into Liu Meier's hand. This Mid-Grade Spirit Stone was taken from the System's strategy fund.
Liu Meier's attractiveness rating was 91, which also met the System's requirements.
"I just hope Sister Mei'er can tell me what Revered Master usually likes and what she likes to do."
Chen Yuan took out another Medicinal Pill for increasing cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage—a second-tier Medicinal Pill, the Spirit Gathering Pill—and slipped it into Liu Meier's hand.
Liu Meier felt the Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone in her hand burning hot and hastily returned them to Chen Yuan in a panic, "Senior Brother Chen, please take these back, I cannot accept them."
Liu Meier feared Leng Youmeng the most. If Leng Youmeng found out that she had accepted bribes and leaked her information, she would definitely be severely punished.
Her time as a maid would be over.
Oh! That's interesting, does she think it's too little?
Chen Yuan didn't believe it and took out three more Spirit Gathering Pills.
"No, Senior Brother Chen, I really can't accept them, and I can't tell you about Revered Master's situation either."
Finally, Chen Yuan took out a Golden Core Condensing Pill, a Medicinal Pill needed for breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. One pill offered a 20% chance of condensing a solid Golden Core and breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
When Liu Meier saw the Medicinal Pill, a fervent gleam appeared in her eyes. For someone with mediocre Aptitude like her, the Golden Core Condensing Pill could be considered a supreme treasure.
However, thinking of her Revered Master's icy cold eyes, Liu Meier could only refuse again with tears in her eyes.
"Senior Brother Chen, I really can't accept it." As she refused, a graceful figure quietly landed behind Chen Yuan.
"What are you two doing?"
Qin Shuhan's voice, clear as ice, softly reached Chen Yuan and Liu Meier's ears.
Liu Meier jumped in fright, and all the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills in her hand fell to the ground.
Qin Shuhan walked forward and picked up the Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones on the ground: four Spirit Gathering Pills, one Golden Core Condensing Pill, and one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
"Whose Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones are these?" Qin Shuhan asked.
"Replying to Senior Sister Qin, these Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones were given to me by Senior Brother Chen..."
Immediately after, Liu Meier recounted everything to Qin Shuhan, including Chen Yuan asking for information about Revered Master and forcing the Medicinal Pills on her.
Chen Yuan frantically winked at her from the side, but Liu Meier kept her head down.
Seeing this, Qin Shuhan chuckled and asked, "Junior Brother Chen? Did you get sand in your eyes?"
"No... no! Hehe!" Chen Yuan let out an awkward laugh.
Sister Mei'er is too unreliable, she spilled everything, this really got me into trouble!
