People are too stupid, even if you give them Heaven-tier cultivation techniques, they still can't learn them.

Finally, seeing her master looking eager to give it a try, Lin Daiyu could not help covering her mouth with a handkerchief as she chuckled and teased:

"Third Sister, don't tell me you really got into some kind of trouble and are feeling guilty, which is why you're being so attentive?"

"What exactly did you do?"

Though she was joking, there was genuine curiosity in her voice as well.

After all, they had spent nearly every day together with Tanchun lately, eating, living, and resting together—just short of sleeping in the same bed. Knowing her Third Sister's personality well, Daiyu was indeed very curious. She felt that unless something had happened, or Tanchun had done something, she would never be so proactive in currying favor.

Of course, it was not that being proactive was bad. Daiyu herself occasionally attended to her master in daily life. It was just that Tanchun had been far too deliberate just now—so deliberate that all three of them, along with their master, had seen at a glance that she was intentionally trying to flatter her because she wanted something.

Xueyan had been standing nearby, preparing to inspect the clean clothes that the "pretty-as-flowers" maids had prepared for Annie. Upon hearing this, her eyes darted about, and she immediately came over to tease her:

"Oh no, oh no!"

"Third Miss must have caused some huge disaster!"

"I'm the same way normally! Whenever I make Miss angry, I rush to pour tea and fetch water, hoping to make up for it with good deeds!"

"But it turns out that's completely useless!"

"I still get punished in the end!"

The more she spoke, the more animated she became. She even rolled up her sleeves, exposing a stretch of fair wrist, and eagerly urged Annie:

"Great Immortal!"
