Chapter 495: Days Without Change
Simply put, I have become more mature.
She walks with majestic air, exuding confidence and a domineering aura. Although she still dresses very simply and doesn't wear any makeup, she is getting more and more beautiful.
But Gu Heng didn't have time to care about whether she had temperament or not. The main thing was that Qin Yiyao was back, and the stone in his heart was immediately put down.
At least the human body is a whole piece, with no missing parts.
What he wanted to care more about was whether the little girl had eaten well, lived well, and whether she had been wronged during this period... He only had this one disciple who was like a family member to him. If he didn't care about her, who would?
"You finally decided to come back? I thought you were planning to stay out there forever."
Gu Heng pinched her little face.
"Ah? Master, are you missing me?" Qin Yiyao ran to Gu Heng with a smile, sat down next to him, and pulled his sleeve.
"Stop whining, I just said it casually."
He rolled his eyes.
But he couldn't let this girl see that he actually missed her very much. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Qin Yiyao, she would just take advantage of him. He had to be strict with her and enforce the family rules!
But considering that she had been traveling outside for more than a month, Gu Heng felt that he could allow Qin Yiyao to be a little unrestrained.
"Hmm..."
Qin Yiyao narrowed her eyes, as if trying to find clues from Gu Heng's face, but Gu Heng was always very professional in managing his facial expressions, and he could always hold it together no matter how hard it was.
"Alright, stop staring at me. It just so happens that the shopkeeper Jin Qian sent me a lot of vegetables and meat. Master will make you a big meal tonight!"
Gu Heng was thinking about what to cook tonight. Finally, he didn't have to eat alone, so he immediately had the energy to cook.
These days, he has basically no mood to cook for himself. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Xiaobai didn't need to eat, as Su Jinxi would be full after taking the pills he made, so he went to "Youjian Inn" almost every day to eat the meals provided by the shopkeeper Jin Qian. The wealthy shopkeeper was very hospitable and would treat him with delicious food every time he went there. He only needed to bring some homemade wine.
After all, he only had to take care of his own food, so Gu Heng didn't have the energy to cook every day.
I won't go today.
Eating in the yard with the little girl.
It was getting late at this moment, so Gu Heng went straight into the kitchen and fiddled with it for half an hour. Finally, before it got completely dark, he set a table of delicious food in the yard.
As usual, Xiaobai was still serving food and tea, and he was enjoying his job.
"How long will you be back this time?"
Gu Heng asked while eating.
"How long does Master want me to stay?"
Qin Yiyao blinked.
"Well, of course I'm happy that you can come back to see me, but I can't let you delay your work. It's up to you. Even if you have to leave tomorrow, I won't say anything."
"Even if you are wronged outside, remember to tell me."
Gu Heng knew that no matter what Qin Yiyao did in Zhongzhou, she was definitely preparing to become the empress. Coincidentally, there was an item in his task list called "cultivation of emperors", which required him to train two close people around him to become "the most powerful emperors in Xuantian Realm"!
This task has no time limit, will give you an achievement title, and most importantly, ten advanced experience coupons!
Ten.
So far, he doesn't have a single experience voucher.
Just by killing monsters, the experience bar will hardly move at all.It's outrageous.
Wanton killing is of no use to him, but a waste of energy and time. Therefore, Gu Heng's hope is entirely placed on "tasks". There are a large number of tasks, and completing them basically gives him experience coupons of varying numbers. Only these things can help him.
Therefore, it would be beneficial for him if Qin Yiyao could become the empress.
Not to mention the experience coupons, his own apprentice must be particularly famous and promising. Gu Heng has never enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being an "imperial teacher".
Who doesn't want his or her apprentice to be successful?
"Master, please relax. I am the one who makes others suffer in public, but it is not others' turn to make me suffer."
Qin Yiyao smiled nonchalantly.
Feeling wronged?
It is true that others feel wronged.
She stayed in Yanluo Kingdom for one and a half months. Under her governance, this small kingdom had already been completely transformed.
He dismissed a large number of officials who had no ambition, integrated a large number of forces in the territory, made them completely loyal to him, and by the way, dealt with some guys who were "quite disloyal" to the new leader.
Qin Yiyao doesn't care if there are complaints, but if there are any dissenters, she will deal with them swiftly and decisively!
How could these small clans imagine the governing skills of "Emperor Shengyao"?
In fact, long before she left.
"Marquis Yanluo" Mo Qian, following her orders, led the reborn "Yanluo Army" to attack the "Yingshui Kingdom", the old enemy of Yanluo Kingdom.
The Shadow Water Kingdom had fought fiercely with the Yanluo Kingdom in the past, but it was precisely because they lost to the Shadow Water Kingdom that the last piece of valuable spiritual vein soil in the Yanluo Kingdom was also occupied by the Shadow Water Kingdom.
Since then, the Yanluo Kingdom has been on a downward spiral.
The Shadow Water Kingdom also gradually became stronger. Up to now, the King of Shadow Water has reached the ninth level of tribulation, and the size and strength of the Shadow Water army are several times that of the Yanluo Kingdom... until Qin Yiyao arrived.
The current Yanluo Kingdom, with the legacy resources of the Qin Dynasty that she gave it, plus her hands-on training, can easily defeat seven or eight Yingshui Kingdoms.
The outcome of this expedition is already determined.
And she can also come back and reunite with her Master.
Qin Yiyao still likes to spend leisurely time with Gu Heng.
"If that's the case, I'll be relieved."
Gu Heng was also quite proud. The skinny girl who was surrounded and beaten by several thugs in the alleys of Yunling City has now become a beautiful girl who has the confidence to say, "I am the one who makes others suffer in public." This is rare!
It was worth it that he picked her up.
After dinner, the master and the disciple chatted for a long time until late at night when the moon was high in the sky.
Life remains the same as before, nothing has changed.
It's just that Qin Yiyao now likes to wear some enchanting nightgowns, and she loves to wander around in front of him... She is also growing up and becoming mature, and Gu Heng doesn't dare to look at her anymore, for fear of getting into trouble.
But Qin Yiyao enjoyed it very much and went back to the house after hanging around for a while.
Gu Heng had to sit quietly for a long time before he could forget what he had just seen.
Early morning hours.
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Heng had been planning to go to bed, and the timing was just right, so he had no choice but to open the door to welcome the guest.
The person who came was an old man whom Gu Heng had not seen for nearly three months.
