Metaphysics Reborn: My rules are rules

After dinner, Ye Yuran went back to the side room to rest for a while and took out a few desserts from the food box.

This was delivered by the Ye family before dinner. It contained exquisite snacks and several jars of tea that Ye Yuran took from the Shen family.

When the time came to 08:30, Ye Yuran returned to the tea room carrying the food box.

"Yuran, you go and sit behind the screen first." Taoist priest Yuan Cheng said, pointing to a screen on the side.

Ye Yuran nodded, put down the food box, and came behind the screen.

The screen was large, covering most of the tea room, and the space behind the screen was also large, with a soft couch and several chairs.

Ye Yuran sat on the soft couch and waited quietly for the arrival of Chief Yuan.

At a quarter past nine, there was a noise at the door and someone pushed in.

The screen where Ye Yuran was sitting was on the side. People entering from the door had their backs to the screen and did not notice the figure behind the screen.

But Ye Yuran could vaguely see the people outside the screen.

"Senior brother."

It was the voice of Yuan Daochang.

Ye Yuran couldn't help but blush a little. After such a long time, Yuan Yichang's voice had not changed, it was still the same as in her memory.

"Senior brother, you are here, sit down quickly."

The figure sat cross-legged in response: "Junior brother, you really understand me. These desserts look much more exquisite than before."

Chief Yuan picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes with pleasure as soon as he entered it: "Well, who bought it this time? Xiao Chen?"

Taoist priest Yuan Cheng shook his head and looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Chen didn't buy it, why? It's delicious?"

"That's so delicious! What did you buy before? Which store is this? Bring me this store from now on!" After finishing one piece, Daochang Yuan pinched another piece and put it in his mouth. The dessert not only suits his taste but also gives him a familiar taste.

The dessert was a bit choking, so Director Yuan freed up one hand to pick up the tea that Director Yuan Cheng had just brewed and poured it into his mouth.

"Junior brother, how come your things are so high-quality this time? It doesn't matter if you buy good desserts, even the tea tastes better than before... I'm right, it's Dahongpao, right? Where did you get the money to buy this thing? ? Didn’t you sneak out to catch ghosts for others? "

Taoist priest Yuan Cheng said with a smile: "I didn't buy this dessert with money, nor did I catch ghosts for people in exchange for money. These things are all gifts from destined people."

"Destined person? Apart from Wu Chen, who has the fate of master and disciple with you, who else is destined to you? Isn't your fate almost broken?" Yuan Daochang curled his lips, why didn't he have such a taste? A tall and destined person?

In fact, it’s not nothing, it’s just...

Taoist Priest Yuan's thoughts drifted away, and he did not hear clearly what Taoist Yuan Cheng said for a while.

"Senior brother, senior brother? Senior brother!"

"Ah?" Chief Yuan came to his senses and realized that he was thinking wildly again, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

That’s all, some fate can’t be forced.

"What are you thinking about? Every time I come down the mountain and look at me, I look distracted." Taoist priest Yuan Cheng poured another cup of tea for Taoist priest Yuan.

Yuan Daochang picked it up and took a sip: "I'm not thinking about anything, what can I think about?"

"Senior brother," Taoist Priest Yuan Cheng looked at him, "Did you really not think about anything? Didn't you think about the child of the Ye family?"

Ye Yuran behind the screen held her breath and stared at the figure closely.

The figure stiffened for a moment, and then seemed to be indifferent: "What do I want her to do? I have long since severed ties with the Ye family."

Taoist priest Yuan Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the screen facing him, and then said: "Is it true? Then why did you go to Qianyuan a few days ago?"

Ye Yuran frowned, what did Taoist Priest Yuan want to do with Taoist Qianyuan?They belong to two factions and would not interact with each other on weekdays, not to mention that Chief Yuan is in retirement.

"Isn't it okay to go and catch up with old friends?" Chief Yuan took another sip of tea with an expressionless face, "I think my relationship with Qianyuan was pretty good when I was at the Ye family, so it's okay to catch up after so many years, right? Could it be that finding an old friend can also have a relationship with Ye Yuran?"

Taoist priest Yuan Cheng couldn't help but smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, I didn't say you went to Qianyuan for the Ye family's child."

Yuan Dao choked and glared at Yuan Cheng: "You are the only one who can speak!"

"But seriously, senior brother, you have such a deep bond with that child of the Ye family, haven't you ever thought about going to find her?"

"Look, you're here again!" Yuan Daochang held his forehead, "Every time you come here, every time you say it, I'm tired of hearing it."

Yuan Cheng smiled and said, "Who lets you avoid this problem every time?"

Yuan Yi sighed and put down the tea cup: "It's not about escaping, but there's no need to answer." He thought for a while and then said, "I calculated that she was going to have a calamity, and to help her survive that calamity was what I could do. I did it, and I paid a price for it. If she goes back again, she has to rely on her own ability to move forward, and I can't help her."

Yuan Cheng said: "But you are obviously destined to be master and disciple. When you first retired, you came to me from time to time to ask me about her situation. Why don't you dare to ask now?"

Yuan Yi fell silent, and after a while he said: "It's not that I don't dare to ask, I'm just afraid that I won't be willing to accept it. If such a good girl is deceived by bad people and ends up like that, will she be able to change if she does it again? I'm afraid I heard bad news."

"So you still care about her, right?"

Yuan Yi laughed at himself: "So what? When I left the Ye family, I said some outrageous words to prevent her from thinking about me all the time. What would happen if I went to find her now? Could it be that I had lied to her before? ?”

Somewhat puzzled: "Why can't she tell her that you helped her do it again? This way all the misunderstandings can be solved."

"Are you making me suffer?" Yuan Yi curled his lips with some disdain, "I won't do anything that would degrade my identity! Who is like you, pretending that he can't survive in order to trick Wu Chen into becoming his apprentice? Years later, no one will inherit the mantle."

Yuan Cheng: ...are you the only one who talks a lot?Are you just noble?

Ye Yuran couldn't hold it back behind the screen.

Taoist Priest Yuan Cheng looks so serious, I didn’t expect him to be such a person!
