Su Chong rarely disobeyed. But now that it concerned Su Xiaolu, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. Su Chong mustered up his courage and said, “Master, can you punish me on behalf of Xiaolu?”

Gui You looked at Su Chong. The kid was good at everything but one thing. He was too protective.

The girl’s talent was not as good as his. She even dared to not pay attention under his nose. So what if he hit her twice to punish her?

Gui You did not speak. Su Chong pursed his lips and said, “Master, don’t hit Xiaolu. She’s still young. Punish me. Double the punishment is fine.”

He had hit Su Xiaolu with a stone six times today. Although it was not enough to really hurt Su Xiaolu, it was painful.

After taking so many hits, his heart ached.

It must be swollen. His skin was thick and he was not afraid of pain. He could even take double the punishment.

Su Xiaolu was touched. She quickly said, “Brother, no. Master Gui You should punish me. I was distracted and not focused. I should be punished.”

Gui You jumped down from the courtyard wall and walked to Su Xiaolu and Su Chong. He looked at Su Xiaolu indifferently and asked, “Tell me, why were you distracted several times today?”

There was a hint of worry between Su Xiaolu’s eyebrows. She said, “Master Gui You, I’ve dreamed of Master several times recently. I don’t know how he is now. It’s the new year today and there are many dishes today. I remember that Master likes them too, so I was… distracted.”

After returning from the academy examination with her brothers and the others, Su Xiaolu dreamed of Old Wu four times. Every time she woke up, she felt lost.

Today was New Year’s Eve, and there were many dishes that Old Wu liked to eat. Su Xiaolu could not help but think of him again.

Old Wu didn’t like crowds, she knew that.

But the old man was happy to be able to eat his favorite dishes during the New Year together. She wondered how he had spent the past few years, if he had eaten his favorite dishes. She couldn’t help but get distracted as she thought about it.

After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, Gui You did not speak for a long time. Su Xiaolu did not dare to be distracted anymore and focused on circulating the mental cultivation techniques.

Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu for a long time before saying, “You seem to have sensed something. Come down. Calculating the time, your master should be here soon. You don’t have to practice anymore. Go and pick him up.”

He had received a letter from Old Wu last month. The letter said that he would return to visit his little disciple this year and would arrive before the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Su Xiaolu had been training very hard recently, but she was always distracted today.

Listening to Su Xiaolu, Gui You felt something and did not hide it from her.

“Wh-what?”

Su Xiaolu was in disbelief. She got off the stake and looked at Gui You in surprise.

Gui You laughed. “Go quickly. The old man should be halfway there, but I’m not sure if he’s taking the orthodox path. If he goes through the mountains and forests, you might not meet him. Everything depends on fate.”

The little girl’s eyes lit up, and her emotions were written all over her face. For a moment, Gui You felt very touched.

Su Xiaolu had already rushed out.
