This looked like questioning the junior martial aunt, but in reality, she should have been asking about her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Bai Mao was just a bit robotic, not stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this demolition was too ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Ye Tinglan still wanted a bit of the Holy Mistress’s face, she could just refute with, \"What nonsense are you talking about? Which eye saw me like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the whole thing would collapse, and even if she wanted to maintain a high-and-mighty posture in front of her disciple, she wouldn't be clingy anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Tinglan hadn't even thought of this layer in her heart; she had already entered the problem of Dugu Qingli’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do I like about him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, do I like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I do like him; who would be clingy with a little wild dog they didn't like, and even cook porridge and feed him personally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this \"like\" didn't seem to be exactly the same as the kind of \"like\" in her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he has Shen Tang... but what does it matter to me that he has Shen Tang? I’m not fighting Shen Tang for a man; what’s wrong with teasing a little puppy? I have spent half my life in battle; can’t I relax a little?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She doesn't think about her master at all; Lu Xingzhou even knows to let Teacher relax a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was right not to contact Qingli before; these days were so happy, and as soon as the stinky disciple came, she made people face the ugly reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she wants me to answer? Answer my foot; I really want to throw her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan put away her smile and said indifferently: \"What does it have to do with you who I like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is this trend a bit unexpected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli was even more dumbfounded: \"But... but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"Is there any room for a junior to speak in adult matters? Is this the etiquette your master taught you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli: \"...Master taught me that Heavenly Jade disciples should have self-respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"I am not a Heavenly Jade disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day I sat in the Holy Mistress’s position, I was no longer a disciple; hmm, no problem there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli stood there blankly, her worldview being reshaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this really not be Master? How could my master speak like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still wouldn't give up and asked one more question: \"I don't know the name of this junior martial aunt...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan was righteous and confident: \"Didn't your master tell you? My previous name has been abandoned; I am now called Yuan Muyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the atmosphere at the stone table was a bit stagnant; Lu Xingzhou quietly moved the bowl of porridge and lowered his head to shovel it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever happens, happens; my brain can't keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never thought Ye Tinglan would be so good at playing along; she’s even better at it than the real Yuan Muyu. Who is the demoness anyway? This world is truly crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lu Xingzhou was left with a blank mind; Dugu Qingli’s CPU was directly fried, and she stood there, feeling like she was smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she suddenly jumped up, hid outside the door, took out her communication jade talisman, and frantically called her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan answered quietly on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli thought her master would refuse to answer, and seeing it really connected, she let out a breath: \"Master, Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan: \"What? Didn't I teach you that even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you should remain calm? With such impatience, where is your cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli: \"No, Master, do you have a younger sister named Yuan Muyu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Master, do you know that your sister is involved with a married man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yuan Muyu is indeed a scoundrel. You just called to complain about her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can scold Yuan Muyu as much as you want. Alright, don't disturb me if there’s nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communication was cut off, and Dugu Qingli returned to the stone table like a sleepwalker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan, who was playing the role comfortably and could advance or retreat, felt that the world had never been so wide, and she leaned back in her chair leisurely: \"Why is my niece standing there like a fool? Sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli sat down like a mindless robot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan didn't know where she pulled out a tea set, placed it on the stone table, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it to her disciple: \"Drink some tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli held the teacup woodenly: \"Thank you... Junior Martial Aunt. That, if Junior Martial Aunt really wants to be with Lu Xingzhou, then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, what does \"really want to be with Lu Xingzhou\" mean? Have I ever said such a thing? Ye Tinglan said crossly: \"Then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how should I address Lu Xingzhou?\" Dugu Qingli said: \"Master’s Aunt-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou rubbed his forehead, and Ye Tinglan was also stunned; even she, with all her experience, couldn't answer this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, for a male junior martial uncle’s wife, it is correct for a niece to call her Aunt-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a female junior martial uncle’s husband, how should a niece address him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be simpler if it were Master’s status; I could just call him Master’s Uncle... No, Lu Xingzhou and I don't have that relationship yet; how did I get wrapped into this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan stiffened her face and said: \"It’s not even a done deal yet; what are you in such a rush to call him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you that eager to marry your master off? \u003C\u002Fp>",988,"2026-06-18T01:46:10.354Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","09169e0787b47fdcd7b9eb11c8d70029e301871da207f945bbda573923c0187b","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-235","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-233",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
