Chapter 281 Distant Fragrance, Nearby Smell

She too was burdened with worries, yet unsure how to begin. The atmosphere was somewhat somber. Their

usual strolls in the garden were like this; she felt no discomfort, but rather delighted by the ambiance. Every few steps,

she couldn't help but glance at him, finding it endlessly captivating, growing more and more loving with each look. Then she would turn back, quietly savoring the

wondrous feeling of her heart racing. Until now, she had never experienced this with any man, not even her deceased husband.

She felt like a young girl falling in love for the first time, experiencing the feeling of first love.

But today was different. With each step forward, her heart grew more chaotic, truly a case of worries rising and

falling! It was like a tangled mess, an unresolved sorrow, a unique feeling swirling in her heart!

She didn't know how much time had passed, nor how many times she had circled the garden, or even what route she had taken. She

didn't know and didn't really care. It was probably the same

route they'd grown accustomed to. They wouldn't normally walk this long, but now they were both preoccupied and

showed no intention of turning back, simply continuing their leisurely stroll.

The light gradually dimmed, and her beautiful eyes lingered on the boy's face for a while before she didn't

turn forward as usual. Instead, she slightly raised her head; the bright, full moon hung high in the eastern sky.

Zhou Yan suddenly frowned and said, "Just now in the foster mother's quiet room, Xiao Qi and she seemed to be acting strangely. I wonder

what happened?"

She immediately deflated, all the courage she had mustered vanishing. She couldn't help but sigh, "Spending money is

easy, but earning it is hard!" She stared at him blankly for a long time, then stammered, "What...what did you say?" She felt

everything was in chaos tonight; their conversations were completely nonsensical, each of them talking to themselves!

He repeated himself.

Her mind raced for a while before she finally managed to shift her focus away from the topic she was so concerned about. She nodded and

said, "I was wondering the same thing, and it seemed like my eldest sister had something to say to my third sister, which is why I pulled you away so quickly.

Speaking of , you must have heard some rumors about Xiao Qi and my third sister back then, right? I suspect it

's related to this matter."

His heart tightened. He had not only heard about it, but he had also witnessed it firsthand. The two good brothers almost fell out

over it, and it wasn't until a common enemy, Xiao Wuyue, appeared that they reconciled. He could

n't help but mutter, "That's not right. Ever since that guy was taken back to the Ecstasy Cave by my mother, he hasn't paid any attention to Xiao Qi. There shouldn't be anything

between ."

Changsun Han pondered for a long time and said, "Perhaps it involves..." "Is it about Huan'er's future? I bet

Third wants to put Huan'er under Xiao Wuyue's name so that Xiao Qi will completely give up on her."

He clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury, and roared, "That bastard! He's gone too far! He stole

Xiao Qi's beloved woman and now he wants to steal his child! I swear I'll never forgive him!"

Changsun Han asked, puzzled, "No one stole your woman and child, why are you so agitated?"

Zhou Yan realized his outburst and quickly said sheepishly, "But that scoundrel stole the motherly love that should have been mine, isn't

that hateful enough?"

He looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Heavens~ it's so late already, we should go back to our room and rest."

With that, he stood up and, without another word, pulled her along towards the back courtyard. Changsun Han said with great dissatisfaction, "On such a beautiful spring night with a full moon, can't

you stay in the garden and chat with your master a little longer?" 　　Zhou Yan continued walking, "You know, I'm used to going to bed early and getting up early, and I can't sleep too late. I sleepy now, I'll chat with you to my heart's content tomorrow." 　　Changsun Han bit her red lips and said, "I don't believe you! Tomorrow morning, he'll probably be off playing somewhere again , I won't even see a ghost. Who am I supposed to chat with?" 　　As she returned to the hall, her heart began to pound faster and faster. There was no other reason than that the countdown had begun, and the moment for her to burn her bridges was getting closer and closer. But she still couldn't figure out how to be direct enough to force him to have no way out and to make a statement, whether he wanted it or not? But without seeming too... too... How could she not be nervous and anxious? 　　Zhou Yan said goodnight to her and turned to walk towards the east room where he usually stayed. 　　Her mind went blank, her palms sweated, and in a moment of quick thinking, she said, "Yan'er, that room has n't been occupied for days, and I haven't had time to clean it yet. Why don't some time to clean it for you tomorrow..." 　　She tried her best to appear calm and to keep her voice as even as possible, but her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Her face was flushed, and her voice still trembled and she stammered. 　　Zhou Yan stood still, without turning around or saying a word. 　　She felt like she was about to collapse, overwhelmed with shame. The silence only made her more embarrassed, so she quickly tried to cover it up: "Yan'er, you used to sleep with me when you were little, until you were five when Yan Niang took you back to the Ecstasy Cave. Cough cough~ There's a saying that you should learn to sleep with your master, hehe... Actually, uh~ that's not what I meant. It's just that you'll rarely have the chance to come back, so I wanted to spend more time with you and chat more. Of course, you're a grown man now, so you can just sleep with your clothes on... uh..." 　　Unfortunately, the more she spoke, the more incoherent she became. She tried to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but it didn't work. In her nervousness and panic, she became even more incoherent. She hated herself for being so clumsy with words! 　　He was silent for a while, then said softly, "Sister Die'er just came over and is helping me tidy up my room. I think I should go back to my room to sleep... Actually, what you said surprised me. This isn't like you. You shouldn't have said such a thing." After saying that, he turned and walked away. 　　Having said all that, she gritted her teeth and finally decided to go all out. She took a few quick steps to block his path, her voice filled with , "Yan'er, why? You know I'm not a casual woman. Do you know how much courage it took me to say those words? I had no choice. Do you know how much I…" 　　She couldn't bring herself to say the last two words! 　　Her tender gaze made him feel incredibly awkward. He quickly lowered his head to avoid her gaze, stammering, " Master , we're not suitable for each other. Besides, I already have someone in my heart…" 　　"She's unmarried, and you're unmarried, what's wrong with that? Just sever your master-disciple relationship, and everything will be perfectly legitimate. You…"

"That woman in the picture, isn't that Die'er? Do you think I'm older and not as pretty as her?" She became increasingly

agitated, her voice rising, tears welling in her eyes. She had finally dared to take the initiative, only to be rejected. Besides

deep disappointment, her pride was also severely wounded!

He lowered his head even further, not daring to meet her piercing gaze. "Master, these are two different things…

You should know that there has to be feeling between a man and a woman; beauty is only one aspect."

She had already lost her composure, bursting into laughter. "Elder sister said that a man's feelings for a woman

can only . You've never slept with me, how do you know there's no feeling?" But there was no joy in her laughter,

only deep pain and humiliation.

He also said in agony, "Please don't say that, okay? I don't want to hear such things." With that, he walked past her

and returned to his room.

He had been with maids like Xiaoqing, and it wasn't that he was unwilling to sleep with women other than his mother. But not with his master,

and not even with Sister Die'er, who was currently tidying his room. As he said, he felt nothing, or rather,

he felt no impulse. It seemed to be more than that; just thinking about having such a relationship with either of them

gave him goosebumps!

What was going on? He had pondered this question carefully in the dead of night, trying to find the root of the problem.

After being weaned, he had grown up with his master and Sister Die'er. Although he had spent eight years in the Ecstasy Cave, his foster mother,

worried about interfering with his cultivation, spent most of the year with his master. In the last two years, they had been inseparable, and

his intimacy with them even surpassed that with his foster mother, not to mention his birth mother now…

He tried to imagine what his master looked like, fantasizing that she was beside him, trying to find some impulse in her

. However, he strangely found it difficult to quickly recall her appearance. Was she beautiful? He had no idea!

But since she was hailed as the most beautiful of the four great beauties of the previous generation of the Earth Sect, she should be beautiful. But what exactly made her beautiful? After

much contemplation, the image of the master finally surfaced in his mind. First, he looked at her face—her features were utterly ordinary, nothing special.

Seeing that face every day gave him the urge to turn away. Then he looked at her figure—tall… barely passable as athletic.

To find that feeling, he had to imagine her undressing. What appeared in his mind was a

bizarre body that sent shivers down his spine. Instead of feeling any attraction, he wanted to flee! Especially that

lower body, which made him feel even more uneasy; the thought of being inside it filled him with terror! He couldn't bear it . He violently shook his head,

trying to banish the image from his mind, but just as summoning that image was difficult, getting rid of it

seemed The image was like a shadow, impossible to shake off!

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and curled his legs up. Yes, that was the uncomfortable feeling—that was

the problem ! It seemed that familiarity caused a sense of rejection, an unwillingness to be too close. But I'm just as familiar with my foster mother

, so why don't I have this unpleasant feeling? Hmm... whatever the reason, it's at least one of the reasons! Also, it seems to be

related to his childhood experiences, causing some psychological issues.

Unable to get rid of his master, he tried again to summon the image of Sister Die'er into his mind, and it took

a lot of effort to succeed; his master's image finally faded. Just like how she always looked at him with tender affection whenever they met

, she did the same in his mind. This gaze made him uncomfortable, but he forced himself to endure it, trying

to find the feeling through fantasy, including with Sister Qinyin later on, but the result was no different from his master's.
