"Call..."

It seemed like relief, yet it also seemed like a sigh; Ling Sha often exhaled—

"In the end..."

"So I chose to find several external brains."

Gwen added.

"An external... brain?"

Ling Sha blinked her bright, watery eyes, looking somewhat taken aback.

"In short, find smart people who you can absolutely trust and who will not harm you."

As the saying goes, one person's plan is short-sighted, but many people's plans are long-sighted.

It's impossible to completely avoid failures and oversights, but I can reduce the likelihood of mistakes through various means.

Careful analysis and proper planning before taking action, along with information sharing and timely communication in emergencies, can always reduce the probability of things going wrong.

Gwen laughed.

"When one person cannot do something, it is better to find several helpers."

Even if there are still unavoidable situations, we can still avoid many unnecessary mistakes, can't we?

"Um..."

Ling Sha nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes, perhaps wondering if she could have prevented the tragedy had her master Yun Hua, told her about it.

He sipped the water from the glass, then swayed and collapsed onto the table.

"That makes some sense."

"..."

Seeing Ling Sha completely drunk, with her eyes closed and her breathing gradually becoming even, Gwen put down his chopsticks, picked her up from behind, and carried her to the dormitory.

Perhaps because she had been busy with official duties for the past three days, Ling Sha hadn't even tidied up her bedroom; it only had simple furniture and a bed with just a board.

Although the bed is of good quality, it's obviously not very comfortable to sleep on if it's just a bed board.

"It really is..."

Helpless, Gwen could only hold the person in his arms, find a few quilts from the supplies he had prepared to escape from Schicksal years ago, and use his telekinesis to spread them out before putting the person down.

"I've helped you get rid of the discomfort from being drunk. Now you can get a good night's sleep."

"A new life can begin once I wake up."

Finally, Gwen gently touched the side of Ling Sha's face and whispered something.

Ling Sha is certainly not fat, but her face is fuller than Danzhu's, and it feels quite nice to poke.

Just as Gwen turned to leave, a small hand gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"?"

Gwen turned around and met those hazy eyes—

"I've offended many colleagues right after taking office, and I've also directly contradicted the general. I think I need an external brain to help me deal with this, is that possible?"

"...

Oh..."

Hearing the barely audible voice, Gwen chuckled softly, offering no response, and simply sat down on the edge of the bed.

Seeing Gwen's actions, Ling Sha's already rapid heartbeat quickened even further, but seeing that Gwen made no further moves, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and embarrassment—

The almost explicit hint she just gave was already her limit.

If you still want...

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt her hand being taken up, just like when her master took her in and gently patted her—

"Okay, go to sleep. I'll stay with you."

"...

Um..."

Ling Sha stared at Gwen for a long while before her lips curled up slightly, she responded softly, and slowly closed her eyes, a reassuring smile curving her lips.

Although things didn't go as she had hoped, this action, driven by a somewhat malicious thought, didn't lead to any disastrous results...

"Should I go see Grand Diviner Fu told and see if I'm destined for romantic encounters today?"

Gwen looked at Ling Sha, who was sleeping soundly and even gradually using his arm as a pillow, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Ling Sha slept soundly, from the afternoon until the next morning. The simulated sunlight in the cave illuminated the room through the window, and Ling Sha's long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a thick shadow.

"Hmm..."

The long-awaited peaceful sleep caused Ling Sha to let out a whimper that was somewhat out of character. Just as Ling Sha was about to stretch, she suddenly felt something pressing on her arm...

No, it's more accurate to say she's holding something!

Instinctively, Ling Sha's gaze focused, only to meet a pair of bright eyes—

"You're awake?"

Congratulations, you have become a mature Vidyadhara).

"!"

The words, which were quite similar in structure to certain sentences, made Ling Sha's eyes widen. Her brain quickly checked itself and instantly recalled everything that happened before she went to sleep.

Even after recalling everything, Ling Sha still couldn't fully understand why Gwen was lying side by side with her in bed—

"You... I..."

"Ling Sha, if you want to use me as a pillow, I have no choice but to reluctantly get on the bed. Otherwise, I'll just have to hang here."

Gwen smiled, pulled his arm away, and landed lightly beside the bed.

"Consider the joke just now as revenge for sitting here all night without food."

"Cough..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Sha, who was about to say something, coughed lightly, her fair cheeks flushing slightly, but the composure of Long-Life Species prevented her from losing her composure like a shy young girl.

"First of all, since the Chiming Clan are infertile, they cannot use this method to judge whether someone is mature."

Secondly, you've already gone to bed, so it can't be considered sitting idly all night.

At last..."

Ling Sha paused for a moment at the end, and seeing that Gwen's expression remained unchanged, she said with a hint of self-abandonment—

"It's not that I'm showing you the food but not letting you eat it; you're the one who didn't eat it even when it was right in front of you, so don't blame me."

Seemingly having abandoned any sense of shame, Ling Sha met Gwen's gaze without flinching after speaking, giving off an air of "how else can you argue?"

"You mean..."

Gwen nodded thoughtfully and flexed his wrists.

I'm hungry now.

"It's late, past dinner time..."

Ling Sha rolled herself up in the blanket and shrank into the corner of the bed.

"It's past mealtime and you're still not up. Could it be that the newly appointed Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission Department, who just established the rules, is going to break the law on his own the very next day?"

Of course, if Cauldron Master requires me to wash up, I am certainly capable of doing so.

"Ah!

Are we going to be late?

Ling Sha abruptly stood up, ignoring the half-exposed spring scenery, and began searching for her phone...

Chapter 941 must be deleted! Deleted! It absolutely must be deleted!

As it turns out, Ling Sha's biological clock is quite accurate, and the claim of being late was just a joke.

After giving Gwen a disapproving look, the new Cauldron Master hurried off to wash up.

He just set the rules yesterday, and today he went to work reeking of alcohol. I'm afraid the gossip will spread throughout the entire Luofu.

Seeing Ling Sha rush into the bathroom, Gwen didn't bother to take a bath together; he simply picked up his phone.

When Ling Sha came out with her long, wet hair flowing down her back, she saw that Gwen had already set out breakfast on the table. The white and tender buns were steaming hot, making one's mouth water.

"Hurry up and eat after you're done washing up, it won't be fun if you're late."

As Gwen spoke, he looked up and saw Ling Sha, whose pretty face was covered with pinkish tinge, staring blankly at him with bright eyes that seemed to be lost in thought.

"Um?

Is there something you don't like?

Gwen's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't say anything to spoil the mood. Instead, he asked, feigning ignorance.

"No, it's just that styling my hair is a bit of a hassle. Could you please help me comb it?"

Ling Sha pursed her lips slightly, looked at Gwen, and suddenly smiled, flicking her still slightly damp long hair, and invited him.

"!"

Gwen raised an eyebrow slightly and readily agreed.

"Of course, no problem."

Ling Sha, who hadn't had time to buy a dressing mirror yet, sat in front of a long full-length mirror, her hands resting on her thighs like a well-behaved schoolchild, her eyes fixed on Gwen, who was fiddling with his Gwen in the mirror.

Ling Sha originally thought that a powerful warrior like Gwen wouldn't be good at these things, and her hairstyle wasn't as simple as those outside the Xianzhou.

Ling Sha was prepared to guide Gwen through the process step by step, even skipping breakfast to rush to the Alchemy Commission. However, Gwen showed no hesitation whatsoever. He gently stroked his hair, used a soft breath to dissipate the moisture, and then began to comb it step by step. Although slow, it was not clumsy at all, but rather had a natural feel to it.

"Okay, do you see if there's anything wrong with this hairstyle compared to your original one?"

Gwen clapped his hands gently, looked at Ling Sha in the mirror, who looked radiant after washing up and was completely different from the sorrowful look at the dinner table yesterday, and asked with a smile.

"You are quite skillful. In all my years, I have rarely seen a man outside his profession who is so good at this."

Ling Sha raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, seemingly still able to feel the warmth of her raised hands, but a strange emotion welled up in her heart, and she uttered words she would never have said.

"If I remember your appearance, it won't be difficult to recreate it."

Gwen softly, conjuring a universe at his fingertips—

"It only requires a little computing power and control."

"Oh?

So, you've already taken me into your heart?

Upon hearing this, Ling Sha's slightly worried brows suddenly relaxed, and she gently covered her red lips with her hand, asking with a smile in her eyes.

"Certainly."

Gwen nodded and chuckled, but just as Ling Sha's lips curled up as if she wanted to say something, he continued—

"When Ling Sha is reincarnated, I will make sure your reincarnated self sees your drunken state yesterday and teaches Ling Sha not to drink excessively."

"..."

Instantly, the playful remark that Ling Sha was about to say caught in her throat, and her smiling eyes were instantly filled with embarrassment and annoyance.

"Delete it! Delete it!"

This cannot be saved!

The once poised and elegant young lady suddenly jumped up from her stool, completely losing her Gwen relentlessly...

Good morning, Cauldron Master.

In the Alchemy Commission, when Ling Sha occasionally encountered Alchemy Commission employee who greeted her, Ling Sha would nod in acknowledgment, showing no trace of the urgency she had shown moments before.

"Call..."

Sitting down in his seat, the composed and confident new Cauldron Master let out a soft sigh of relief, finally putting his mind at ease.

Because of playing around with Gwen, it was already quite late when Ling Sha finished breakfast.
