Chapter 495: Days Without Change
Simply put, I've matured a bit.
She walks with an imposing air, exuding confidence and domineering presence. Although she is still dressed simply and doesn't wear makeup, she is becoming more and more attractive.
Gu Heng didn't have time to care about temperament or anything like that. The main thing was that Qin Yiyao was back, and the weight that had been hanging over him immediately lifted.
The person is still a whole piece, without any parts missing.
What he was more concerned about was whether the little girl had eaten well, lived well, or suffered any grievances during this time... He only had this one disciple who was more like family than relatives. If he didn't care, who would?
"You finally decided to come back? I thought you were planning to stay away from home forever."
Gu Heng pinched her little cheek.
"Oh dear? Master, you must be missing me?" Qin Yiyao ran over to Gu Heng with a grin and sat down next to him, tugging at his sleeve.
"Stop whining, I was just saying it offhand."
He rolled his eyes.
He couldn't let this girl see that he actually missed her. Otherwise, knowing Qin Yiyao as he did, she would take advantage of him. He had to be strict and discipline her.
But considering that she had been working hard for more than a month, Gu Heng felt that he could allow Qin Yiyao to be a little unruly.
"Well……"
Qin Yiyao narrowed her eyes, seemingly trying to discern something from Gu Heng's face, but Gu Heng's expression management was always very professional; no matter how much he couldn't hold back, he could definitely maintain it.
"Alright, stop staring at me like that. Perfect timing, Manager Jin Qian sent me a lot of vegetables and meat. Tonight, Master will prepare a big meal for you!"
Gu Heng was planning what dishes to cook tonight. Finally, he wouldn't have to eat alone anymore, and he would soon have the energy to cook.
These days, he has barely been in the mood to cook for himself.
Xiao Bai doesn't need to eat. Su Jinxi is full from the pills he makes, so he goes to "Youjian Inn" almost every day to mooch off Manager Jin Qian. The wealthy manager is very hospitable and always treats him to good food. He only needs to bring some homemade wine.
Since he only needed to take care of his own food, Gu Heng didn't have the inclination to cook every day.
I won't go today.
I ate with the little girl in the yard.
It was getting late, so Gu Heng went straight into the kitchen and tinkered for half an hour, finally setting out a table of delicious dishes in the courtyard before it got completely dark. As usual, Xiao Bai was serving dishes and tea, working happily as well.
"How long will you be back this time?"
Gu Heng asked as he ate.
"How long does Master intend for me to stay?"
Qin Yiyao blinked.
"Hey, I'm happy you can come back to see me, but I can't let you get away with your business. You decide for yourself. Even if you have to leave tomorrow, I won't say anything."
"If you suffer any injustice while you're out there, please remember to tell me."
Gu Heng knew that whatever Qin Yiyao did in Zhongzhou, it was all in preparation for becoming an empress. Coincidentally, there was a task on his list called "Cultivating an Emperor," which required him to cultivate two close associates into "the most powerful emperors in the Xuantian Realm"!
This task has no time limit, rewards you with an achievement title, and most importantly, it gives you ten high-level experience vouchers!
Ten.
So far, he doesn't have a single experience voucher.
If you only kill monsters, your experience bar will barely move.
outrageous.
Indiscriminate killing was useless to him and was a waste of energy and time. So Gu Heng pinned all his hopes on "missions". There were many missions, and completing them would give him a different number of experience vouchers. Only these things could help him.
Therefore, Qin Yiyao becoming empress would also be beneficial to him.
Putting aside the experience vouchers for the moment, Gu Heng had never experienced the sense of accomplishment of being an "Imperial Tutor" before, which was having his own apprentice become exceptionally famous and promising.
Who wouldn't want their disciple to achieve great success? "Master, please don't worry. Outside, I'm the one who makes others suffer, not the other way around."
Qin Yiyao smiled nonchalantly.
Feeling wronged?
It's true that others were wronged.
She stayed in Yanluo Kingdom for a month and a half. Under her rule, this small kingdom had been completely transformed.
He dismissed a large number of unambitious officials, consolidated a large number of forces in the territory, made them completely loyal to him, and also dealt with some who were "disloyal" to the new ruler.
Qin Yiyao didn't care about the complaints, but if someone harbored disloyal intentions, she would deal with them swiftly and decisively!
How could these small states possibly imagine the governing skills of the "Holy Yao Emperor"?
In fact, long before she left, "Marquis Yanluo" Mo Qian had already been ordered by her to lead the newly reborn "Yanluo Army" to conquer "Yingshui Kingdom," Yanluo Kingdom's old enemy.
The Shadowwater Kingdom used to fight fiercely with the Flamefall Kingdom, but it was precisely because they lost to the Shadowwater Kingdom that the last valuable spiritual vein of the Flamefall Kingdom was also occupied by the Shadowwater Kingdom.
Since then, Yanluo Kingdom has been on a downward spiral of weakness and complacency.
Meanwhile, the Shadowwater Kingdom gradually grew stronger. Now, the Shadowwater Kingdom's ruler is at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and the size and strength of the Shadowwater Army are several times that of the Flamefall Kingdom... until Qin Yiyao arrived.
With the resources left over from the Great Qin Dynasty that she gave Yanluo Kingdom, and with her personal guidance, it would be no problem for them to easily defeat seven or eight Yingshui Kingdoms.
The outcome of this expedition is already decided.
And she can also come back and reunite with her master.
Qin Yiyao still prefers spending her leisurely days with Gu Heng.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Gu Heng felt quite proud. The skinny little girl who was surrounded and beaten by several thugs in the alleys of Yunling City has now become a beautiful young woman who can confidently say, "I'm the one who makes others suffer when I'm out here." It's quite remarkable!
It was worth it for him to take her in.
After dinner, the master and apprentice chatted for a very long time, until the night was deep and the moon was high in the sky.
Life continued as before, without any change.
However, Qin Yiyao now likes to wear sexy nightgowns and loves to flaunt them in front of him... She is growing up and becoming more mature, so Gu Heng dares not look at her indiscriminately anymore, lest he get himself into trouble.
But Qin Yiyao was enjoying herself, and after wandering around for a while, she went back inside.
Gu Heng needed to sit quietly for a long time to forget what he had just seen. It was the early hours of the morning.
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Heng had planned to go to sleep, and the timing was perfect, so he had no choice but to open the door and welcome the guest.
The person who arrived was Old Gu, whom Gu Heng hadn't seen for almost three months.
