Master: No Dating Before 100 Years Old

Yuan Tuo had thought Meng Anli would be punished today.

In the evening, as he returned from Gui Class, he happened to see the explosives detonate and Meng Anli fall into the Crown Prince's embrace.

At that moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Then, it turned to ice, inch by inch.

The little lion curled into a ball, burying its head under its belly.

Yuan Tuo shivered from the cold. "I'll go prepare tomorrow's lecture content first."

Yun Jing's thin lips were pressed tightly together, his fingers subtly twisting. The teacup turned to powder, falling onto the little lion.

The little lion didn't dare to move.

Yuan Tuo curled his toes, wisely saying, "Let's check on Sister Anli first."

After that, with every brush and bump between Meng Anli and the Crown Prince, the master's aura grew colder.

He grew angrier the more he watched.

Was the Crown Prince seeking death? He was constantly taking advantage of Meng Anli.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly terrifying, and Yuan Tuo even slowed his breathing.

When Meng Anli fed the Crown Prince Candied Hawthorn Skewers, the master suddenly let out a cold laugh and vanished from the room.

The Xuan Guang Mirror also disappeared.

Yuan Tuo figured he must have gone to find Meng Anli.

He wanted to go report it, but he certainly wouldn't be as fast as the master.

As he was anxiously pacing, the master returned, the terrifying aura around him gone. He grabbed the little lion and lay down on the rocking chair.

Yuan Tuo thought he had brought Meng Anli back.

But just a moment ago, the master had gotten up and started playing the zither.

Meng Anli gave an awkward smile, holding her hands up. "I'll go pour Master another cup."

Yun Jing placed the teacup in her hand, also letting the previous incident pass.

He simply asked, "You took the explosives formula, what did you want to do with it?"

"I wanted Master to see if he could find someone to develop it. Master is Great Emperor Dangmo, you must have many skilled craftsmen under you who are good at warfare, you can definitely develop explosives better than Meng Shiwan."

Meng Anli respectfully offered the tea.

Yun Jing took it and took a shallow sip. "It is indeed feasible."

"If Master says it's possible, it must be possible," Meng Anli repeatedly agreed and nodded. "It's getting late, should I return to the dorms first?"

Yun Jing put down the teacup.

There was no sound, just a soft clink.

Meng Anli's steps towards the exit were halted. She turned and respectfully said, "Does Master have any instructions?"

Yun Jing looked up, his expression serious. "You are eighteen years old now."

Meng Anli also dropped her smile, nervously saying, "Yes."

"You know very little about the outside world, and you haven't met many people. Some things cannot be decided too early."

Meng Anli nodded, it was true.

She had only gone to the mortal world today and met the strange Meng Shiwan.

And the clever Empress Chu.

She realized her previous understanding of the Crown Prince was also somewhat superficial.

To completely bring down the Meng family and deal with the Crown Prince, she needed to study and plan further.

"So," Yun Jing frowned, feeling a little awkward, but then he thought that a teacher for a day is a father for life, and he had to worry about her lifelong happiness.

"You cannot fall in love before you are a hundred years old. You should focus on cultivation, experiencing the world, and meeting people. This way, you will know who you truly like and have choices."

"Ah?" Meng Anli was a bit confused.

Why was love being brought up?

Immediately, she remembered that her Master was angry today because she had been traveling with the Crown Prince.

"Is that not acceptable?" Yun Jing's expression turned cold. "Then two hundred years old."

Meng Anli quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's all up to Master."

"Mm," Yun Jing's demeanor instantly became as gentle as spring rain. He softly instructed, "You are a young lady, don't get too close to men. Don't let them hold your hand, or bump into you. They are taking advantage of you."

Unintentionally, Meng Anli thought of what Meng Mingde had told her.

"Being able to be engaged to the Crown Prince is a blessing you couldn't have asked for in several lifetimes."

"Why are you still being so reserved? Go find the Crown Prince."

"There are so many beautiful palace maids around the Crown Prince. If you don't go find him, he'll forget about you."

She remembered saying, "But the Crown Prince doesn't seem to like me."

"Have you met that Liuyin by the Crown Prince's side? Men like that type."

"It's said that chasing a man is like piercing through a veil of gauze. Just stick close to him, follow him, and find opportunities to interact more, preferably with physical contact."

"It would be best if he's willing to touch you. If not, when you turn eighteen, I'll ask His Majesty to arrange your marriage."

"You were engaged to the Crown Prince. If you can't marry him, no one else will want you."

"..."

Following her father's advice, she found opportunities to cling to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was annoyed by her and didn't let her get close.

She used to be distressed by this.

After being reborn, she only wanted to cultivate properly and break off the engagement with the Crown Prince.

She hadn't thought about romance.

Now, her master's intention was for her to meet more people and then find a suitable match.

So, it's possible to do it this way?

It's not about chasing him, it's about whether I have a choice?

Romance or not, it doesn't matter, but Master said I have a choice.

"Master..." Meng Anli looked at him, touched.

Yun Jing saw her teary eyes and frowned, wondering if he had been too harsh.

He wanted to explain, but Meng Anli suddenly threw herself at his feet. "Master, why are you so good to me?"

Yun Jing: "?"

He looked at her, utterly confused.

He's good to her?

Could she have been so upset by his words that she's lost her senses?

Meng Anli looked up. Though her eyes were red, her gaze was firm and clear.

"Master, I will definitely repay you."

Yun Jing was puzzled. She wasn't confused, but she wanted to repay him after he spoke to her?

Meng Anli didn't say anything more. She stood up and moved away from him, bowing respectfully.

"Master just said to keep a distance from men. I'm going back to cultivate. Master, see you tomorrow."

Yun Jing: "..."

He let out a helpless chuckle. Fine, as long as she remembers.

"Wait."

Meng Anli turned around. "Does Master have any other instructions?"

Yun Jing gestured towards the small stone table with his chin. "I saw you staring at those grapes just now. Take them."

Meng Anli was confused. She hadn't been staring.

She had been thinking about how to get Master to stop being angry, how could she have been staring at grapes?

But...

Meng Anli saw the large, purple bunch of grapes. "Thank you, Master."

She hugged the grapes and ate them as she walked.

Her eyes narrowed in comfort. Master's grapes were indeed delicious.

When she reached the dorm, she gave the remaining half to Ayiao, feeling sticky.

Meng Anli originally thought of using a cleansing spell, but remembering her master's words and her contact with the Crown Prince today, She specifically went to fetch water to bathe.

In the bathtub, she thought of Meng Shiwan's shower gel.

She had to create it before Meng Shiwan did.

But it was too difficult to do it on her own.

She thought of the person who had collaborated with Meng Shiwan in her previous life—Mo Ziqian.

In the Crown Prince's mansion.

Liuyin was sitting on the Crown Prince's lap, her seductive eyes full of charm, and she boldly and passionately moved towards his lips.

Normally, the Crown Prince would have kissed her without hesitation, first at the desk, then moving to the bed.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered Xiao Ying's shy, timid gaze.

He thought that if Xiao Ying wanted to kiss him, she would surely close her eyes, perhaps with her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Liuyin's lips pressed against him, and sensing his change, she joyfully pulled back slightly.

"Your Highness, why are you so brave today?"

The Crown Prince smelled her rich fragrance and found it irritating.

"Go away."

Liuyin didn't hear clearly, or more accurately, she couldn't believe it. "What did you say, Your Highness?"

She moved closer to the Crown Prince again.

The Crown Prince retreated, grabbed her hand, and flung her aside. "I said, get lost."

Liuyin's clothes were disheveled, and she looked utterly wretched. "Your Highness, you clearly already..."

"Get lost!" the Crown Prince gritted out.

He knew very clearly that it was because of Xiao Ying.

Just thinking about it.

Made him...

He was a bit disheveled, this wasn't how it should be.

He commanded, "Find someone gentle and easily shy to come over."
