Chapter 388: This Time, I'll Forgive You!

"Sister Xian'er, do you know why Long Xuexin suddenly challenged you a few days ago?" Gu Junlin looked guilty, his eyes flickering, not daring to look directly at Feng Qingxian.

"The thing I'm sorry about with Sister Xian'er turns out to be this..." In the bedroom, Feng Qiusong breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Gu Junlin didn't reveal his relationship with her, she was confident she could soothe Sister Xian'er and smooth things over.

Feng Qingxian looked puzzled: "This matter is related to you."

Gu Junlin lowered his head, blaming himself: "I was the one who instigated it..."

"I was wondering why that girl, who I once subdued with one hand, suddenly had the courage to challenge me. So it was you backing her up!" Feng Qingxian suddenly understood, her confusion finally cleared.

She snorted softly, crossing her arms over her chest: "Tell me, why did you do this?"

Hearing her teacher's tone of leniency for confession, Gu Junlin, like a child who had done wrong, honestly recounted the whole story without any concealment.

After understanding Gu Junlin's psychological journey of making a mistake, Feng Qingxian's expression remained unchanged, she just asked: "What does this have to do with you coming back so late?"

She wasn't concerned about Gu Junlin plotting against her; she was worried that something had gone wrong with him.

Gu Junlin still hung his head: "Thinking that I tried to force Sister Xian'er to compromise with such despicable means for my own selfish desires, I... I feel ashamed to face you."

"So you've been avoiding me?" Feng Qingxian slightly frowned.

The harsh tone made Gu Junlin tremble, thinking his teacher was angry, he didn't dare to breathe, stiffened his body, and nodded carefully.

Feng Qingxian said unhappily: "Don't do it again!"

Gu Junlin's voice was firm: "I promise I won't have such dirty thoughts again!"

Feng Qingxian hit him on the head, annoyed: "I'm not talking about that!"

"Ah?" Gu Junlin touched the spot where he was hit, his eyes clear, looking foolishly at Feng Qingxian.

Feng Qingxian took a deep breath: "If you ever run off without a word over such a small matter again, making me worry, I'll break your legs and lock you up!"

Planning to take advantage of his teacher is just a small matter? Gu Junlin said dumbly: "Sister Xian'er, you're not mad at me?"

Feng Qingxian puffed out her chest, preening: "Sister is as beautiful as a fairy, it's only natural for a brat like you to have ulterior motives."

If any other man dared to plan such a thing, it would naturally be a capital offense, deserving of a thousand cuts.

But if it was Gu Junlin, she wasn't angry at all, which only proved her great charm, that she had completely bewitched him.

Hmph, just this alone, those later comers, those despicable homewreckers, couldn't compare!

To prevent the little rascal before her from thinking she was encouraging such behavior, Feng Qingxian added:

"Considering you realized your mistake halfway, I'll forgive you this time, but don't let there be a next time."

Gu Junlin nodded repeatedly; indeed, when not involving a "third party," his teacher was very magnanimous!

Seeing this, a soft smile appeared on Feng Qingxian's face, but then she sighed, as if remembering something: "What a pity, the fireworks tonight were beautiful, but you weren't by my side."

Gu Junlin looked into her eyes, sincerely saying: "Even if there are thousands of fireworks in the world, none can compare to the light in your eyes. Watching fireworks is nice, but I prefer watching Sister Xian'er."

"You brat, so cheesy!" Feng Qingxian chided, her face red as she returned to her room.

"Little Junlin has never said such sweet words to me..." Feng Qiusong thought sourly.

That night, the three of them had different thoughts.

The next day, as the first ray of sunlight rose, the ship arrived at the inland sea island of the Water Spirit Clan.

PS: I promised to resume updates on Monday but failed. The author, feeling guilty and unable to sleep, got up in the middle of the night to write over a thousand words, posting a single chapter to explain the latest situation.

Originally thought the previous text could be revised over the weekend, but I overestimated myself, or perhaps underestimated my OCD.

Originally, it was just about reviewing the revised chapters and a few before and after to see if there were any inconsistencies.

But I ended up reading the entire text again, polishing it up a bit, of course, the plot didn't change, just added or deleted some descriptions...

So, the workload increased exponentially, and there's still over a hundred thousand words left unread...

Will resume updates tomorrow, the author assures you, I really haven't been slacking off! I revised all night on Saturday and didn't sleep until 8 in the morning!
