Chương 61: Chapter 61

Soon, they arrived back at the house—technically Yun Xiu's residence, but over time, Hun Yu had come to see it as his home too.

Hun Yu glanced around, taking in the cozy atmosphere.

"I think I should make something for you, Miss Sect Master," he offered playfully, hoping to lighten the mood.

Yun Xiu ignored him, pretending not to have heard. She moved toward the small sitting area, her expression composed, her thoughts seemingly elsewhere. Hun Yu couldn't help but smile at her attempt to remain aloof.

He followed her into the sitting area, where she had already taken a seat. The soft glow of the lanterns cast a gentle light across the room, creating a peaceful ambiance.

As he began preparing a simple meal, he kept an eye on Yun Xiu. She sat with her legs crossed, her back straight, but there was a slight relaxation in her posture that only someone who knew her well would notice.

He could tell she was tired, though she would never admit it.
