"Ah, hey, hey... I'm talking to your master, you... you little brat, why are you interrupting?!"

Wen Huai pulled out his sword angrily, the blade shining brightly.

Xue Wan was startled and hid behind me.

I glanced at him disdainfully and pushed Xue Wan aside.

"Xue Lord is joking. From the beginning to the end, weren't you the only one talking to yourself? How did it become a conversation between me and Xue Lord? Speaking of which, why is Xue Lord interfering when I'm talking to my disciple?" I smiled.

"You! I!" Xue Wan became so frustrated that his face turned red.

He wanted to curse, but considering my status, he had to lower his voice and try to please me.

"Master Shen, let's not... not talk about that. Ah, let's not talk about it. I... I've been looking forward to Master's arrival every day!" Xue Wan continued rubbing his hands and flattering, "Those people outside... are no match for the Master, hahaha."

"Thank you, Lord Xue, for finding time in your busy schedule to spew nonsense at me. It disgusts me," I said.

Xue Wan was speechless.

I didn't indulge him and continued, "Lord Xue, may I ask if Xue Manor has a washbasin?"

"Yes! Yes!" Xue Wan led me to the kitchen door. "There are plenty in the kitchen. Does Master Shen need water?"

"Oh, that's it. After shaking hands with Lord Xue earlier, my disciple said my hands smelled, so I thought I'd find some water to wash them." I squinted and explained.

"..."

Xue Wan left in a huff.

【Master has a sharp tongue!】

【Master is amazing!】

"Stop making noise, come here," I called Wen Huai.

"Master."

"Wash my hands for me."

Wen Huai widened his eyes in surprise. "C-Can I?"

"Hurry up, don't babble."

【Hehehe, I can touch Master again.】

【Master's hands are so soft.】

【Master's hands are so fair.】

【Make sure to wash them clean!】

Afterward, Xue Wan had a feast prepared for us.

We didn't go and instead picked some dishes and returned to the private room to eat.

Wen Huai wanted to eat with me, and I generously agreed.

I could tell Wen Huai was in a good mood, and while eating, he almost started swaying his head.

【Getting close to Master again.】

【Leaving Senior Brother Chang'an behind!】

【Master can only be mine!】

【Want to hide Master away.】

Wen Huai took a bite of his food, looked at me, and smiled.

【Want to tie Master up.】

【Want to...】
