After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 458 Wutong

"Sir, please take a seat."

Qiu came to the yard, bent down slightly, wiped the stone bench carefully with the hem of her skirt, then stood up and looked at Lin Chuan with gentle eyes.

"Excuse me Miss Qiu."

Lin Chuan nodded and slowly sat down on the stone bench.

"I will go and make tea for you, sir."

Qiu bowed slightly, then turned and walked into the house.

After a while, Qiulian moved lightly, holding a set of exquisite tea sets, and slowly sat down opposite Lin Chuan.

Then, she raised her hand gently, her movements flowing like flowing water, and soon, a cup of steaming hot tea was placed in front of Lin Chuan. The aroma of tea lingered between the two of them.

"The name Qiutong Garden comes from the sycamore tree in the courtyard?"

Lin Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at the lonely sycamore tree in the yard, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Well, if you don't like the name, or want to change it, please tell me and I will change it."

Qiu lowered his eyes and whispered, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the teacup.

"I think this name is particularly nice. Miss Qiu likes Wutong?"

Lin Chuan looked at Qiu gently, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Ah."

Qiu responded softly.

"Then why did I only see this one sycamore tree along the way?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and his gaze fell on the sycamore tree again.

"One is enough. If there are more, I won't know which one to like."

Qiu's eyes were gentle and he gently gathered the hair at his temples.

"Ahem, why not just treat everyone equally?"

Hearing these words that seemed to be pointing at him, Lin Chuan coughed lightly and avoided Qiu's gaze with a little discomfort.

"Even if I treat them all equally, will those sycamore trees really think I treat them equally? If my hand trembles while watering them one day, will the other sycamore trees feel unbalanced when they see it?"

Qiu looked at Lin Chuan meaningfully, with a serious look in his eyes.

"..."

"Then according to what Miss Qiu said, if I had a sycamore forest, how should I take care of them so that they wouldn't feel unbalanced?"

Lin Chuan put down the teacup and looked at Qiu with interest.

"Ignoring them is the best way to treat them equally."

Qiu said softly, no emotion in his voice.

"What if they die?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly and looked straight at Qiu.

"That means they are not suitable to be your sycamore trees."

Qiu lowered her eyes, picked up the teapot steadily with her bare hands, and filled Lin Chuan's cup with tea again.

"But I'm extremely greedy."

Lin Chuan lowered his eyes and turned the teacup in his hand, speaking in a low voice.

"So the purpose of this servant inviting you here is just to let you drink a cup of Qingnian tea to make you feel better."

A gentle smile appeared on Qiu's lips, and the aroma of tea lingered between the two of them.

"Drinking Miss Qiu's tea did calm my heart a little."

Lin Chuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Amidst the lingering aroma of tea, he looked up at Qiu with a gentle gaze.

"If you like it, then..."

Qiu suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look outside the yard.

"Could this also be the sister that my husband found for us?"

Bai Zhi looked at Lin Chuan with a half-smile. Beside her, Li Yue had a calm expression, as if she was not bothered by what was happening.

"..."

Lin Chuan was slightly startled and was about to nod in agreement, but Qiu was one step faster than him.

"Please don't misunderstand me, my lords. I saw that you had stumbled into this place in a trance, as if you were troubled by worries. That's why I dared to bring you back here to drink a cup of Qingnian tea."

Before Qiu finished speaking, he stood up swiftly and bowed slightly to the two people outside the yard.

"So that's it."

Bai Zhi nodded gently and walked quickly to Lin Chuan. "I'll go back to my room first. I've finished talking to Jiang Wanying. It's better for my husband and Master Li Feng to go back to Qingshu as soon as possible. If she comes looking for me, I'm afraid this kind sister will be sent out on a mission tomorrow."

"You and Sister Li..."

Before Lin Chuan could finish his words, Bai Zhi interrupted him softly.

"I'll tell you next time you're with me."

After saying that, Bai Zhi glanced at Qiu beside her, then turned and left.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Lin Chuan's eyes fell on Qiu and he spoke softly.

"Please do as you please, sir."

Qiu bowed slightly, her drooping eyebrows hiding her expression, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.

After Lin Chuan and Li Yue walked away, Qiu sat down again, staring straight at the Wutong tree in the courtyard with a stunned expression.

A solitary wutong tree stands in the courtyard waiting for its two shadows. Can you be just one branch in the forest?
