Wei Yuan looked at the celestial maiden in front of him for a while before reacting and said, "Jue?"

"Aren't you supposed to return to Kun Lun?" The celestial maiden smiled slightly and answered in a gentle tone, "I was originally planning to, but I encountered some changes along the way. Someone told me that Kun Lun seems to have undergone some changes. So I decided to stay in the mortal world for a while to recover from my injuries."

Wei Yuan asked curiously, "Kun Lun has changed? Who said that?"

The celestial maiden didn't pay much attention to it and replied, "A young Taoist named Zhang Ruosu, a junior disciple of Longhu Mountain."

"Do you want some tea?"

Wei Yuan remembered the name Zhang Ruosu and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."

The young girl waved her hand with a smile, and a chair of the same style as Wei Yuan's floated behind him. Without hesitation, he sat down. A simple teapot also floated in the air, pouring two cups of tea. One cup was placed on the table next to Wei Yuan for guests, and the other cup floated next to the celestial maiden.

Wei Yuan took a sip and couldn't help but exclaim, "Even though I don't understand tea, this is really good tea."

He guessed that the celestial maiden mentioned by Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng should be the same person. Curious about the celestial maiden's current identity, he hesitated for a moment before asking. The celestial maiden shook her head and said, "Just consider me as a hermit. Others don't know my identity. It's just that this mortal world is unfamiliar to me. Only in your place, Wohu, can I find a trace of familiarity."

Wei Yuan smiled and asked, "When others are around, how should I address you?"

The celestial maiden replied, "Just call me Jue."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Yuan asked again, "What is your courtesy name, Wohu?"

"Since we are neighbors, it wouldn't be appropriate to address me only as Wohu."

Wei Yuan was momentarily stunned before realizing what the celestial maiden meant. However, he couldn't answer this question because in this era, courtesy names no longer existed. The celestial maiden was surprised and said, "So you only have a given name and no courtesy name?"

That's how it is in our era.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Just call me by my name."

The celestial maiden thought for a moment and said, "Yuan?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Wei Yuan was drinking tea at that moment and almost choked on it. He coughed violently.

Then he realized that Wei was his surname and Yuan was his given name. Without a courtesy name, calling him by his name in the celestial maiden's understanding was indeed just that one character. However, he hadn't been called by his name like this for a long time, so Wei Yuan felt a bit uncomfortable. After finally stopping his coughing, he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, Wei Yuan, Lao Wei, Ah Yuan, all are fine."

The celestial maiden nodded, indicating that she understood. She smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've entertained guests."

"We have some snacks here. Would you like to have some?"

Wei Yuan hadn't had breakfast yet, so he smiled without hesitation, "Then I won't be polite."

Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng waited for Wei Yuan for a long time but he didn't come back.

As elite disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Quan City, they were responsible for receiving this esteemed senior who had just entered the mortal world and helping her solve various troubles in life.

They had heard of such things before, where some seniors would spend decades in seclusion in the mountains and only come out to find a completely changed world. They would need the help of the younger generation.

However, they had only heard about it before and never personally experienced it. They didn't expect that this senior, who was said to have a high level of cultivation, looked no more than twenty years old. However, her temperament was completely different from ordinary people, and one could tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person.

Zhang Hao looked at the time and said, "Wei Guanzhu has been visiting for quite a while."

Shen Jifeng thought of something and worriedly said, "Senior Brother, do you think Wei Guanzhu might accidentally offend that senior..."

Zhang Hao was about to answer that it was impossible because Wei Guanzhu was not someone who would act recklessly. But then he thought that this senior had a much higher seniority and had cultivated for several decades in the mountains. The social customs of that era were completely different from now. If they accidentally said something offensive...

Zhang Hao thought of that scene and felt a sense of unease. He quickly got up and walked with Shen Jifeng towards the flower shop across the street.

Although they were anxious, before they even reached the entrance of the flower shop, they saw Wei Guanzhu and the senior sitting opposite each other, talking and laughing. Wei Guanzhu seemed to be more relaxed in front of the senior than in front of them, without the sense of always hiding something. The senior also appeared calm and gentle, with a slight smile on her face.

It reminded them of the gentle breeze that brushed past the mountains in spring.

The two of them, who had rushed out in a panic, gradually slowed down their steps.

Zhang Hao: "............"

Shen Jifeng: "............"

Wei Yuan noticed the two men standing behind the glass display window and realized that he had forgotten about the celestial maiden he had seen before. He had talked for a bit longer than expected. After saying a few words, he got up to bid farewell.

The celestial maiden put down the ancient scroll and stood up to see him off.

Then, under the silent gaze of Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng, Wei Yuan walked out. He smiled and said, "We'll be neighbors from now on. Please take care, Jue..."

His gaze fell on the two members of the special operations team, and without changing his expression, he added two words, "Boss, see you later."Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng were momentarily stunned when they saw the senior figure with her hands folded over her abdomen, dressed in modern attire, yet exuding an elegance and beauty reminiscent of the West Lake Lotus Pond, smiling and nodding.

Wei Yuan patted them on the shoulders and said, "Let's go, or are you guys planning to buy flowers?"

Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng watched as Wei Yuan casually returned to the museum to open for the day. They then turned their heads to see the celestial maiden nodding slightly before returning to the flower shop. She sat on a wicker lounge chair, slowly flipping through an ancient scroll, looking somewhat lost.

Zhang Hao turned to Shen Jifeng and asked, "Did the senior just smile?"

Shen Jifeng nodded, "She did."

"Did she smile a lot?"

"A lot."

Zhang Hao fell into deep thought and self-doubt, "Was she cold before because we didn't do a good job?"

"Probably not..."

"Hey, what are you two little guys thinking about?"

Just as they were agonizing over whether they had been rude or if there was another explanation hidden in their hearts, a man in a trench coat suddenly appeared beside them. He knocked on their foreheads, causing them to jump in surprise before he looked at them with a smile.

"Master Uncle?!"

"Why are you here?"

Shen Jifeng's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

The man, who looked to be in his early thirties, laughed, "Isn't it because the higher-ups were worried that you guys would be rude to the senior? They sent me over. But from what I just saw, this senior is quite easy-going. The higher-ups probably overthought it, saying that we need to be very respectful. I don't think she's that old-fashioned."

He patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder, then confidently walked into the flower shop. He bowed and said, "Zhang Yu, a disciple of Longhu Mountain, pays his respects to the senior."

"If the senior has any requests, please feel free to command me."

The celestial maiden's expression was calm, "Thank you for your concern."

Next to her was a wicker chair. Zhang Yu had seen someone sitting there earlier, the shop owner from next door. But since the senior didn't invite him to sit, he didn't feel it was appropriate to just sit down. He stood there awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Smelling the rich aroma of tea in the air and seeing the teacup on the small table next to him, he, a tea lover, couldn't help but try to ingratiate himself, "Senior Jue, your tea smells really good."

"May I be so bold as to ask for a cup of tea?"

His tone was respectful, not overly presumptuous.

But there was no response.

The air seemed to grow a bit colder.

He looked up to see the young girl's face no longer held the gentle smile she had when interacting with others. Instead, there was a hint of anger, her eyebrows slightly raised in displeasure, "You dare to call me by my name directly, didn't the Heavenly Master's Mansion teach you manners?"

Zhang Yu: "Huh?!"

No,

This is not the same as the person I just met?!

Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng watched in confusion as the door to the flower shop was opened and Zhang Yu was thrown out as if by an invisible hand. He landed on his butt, sitting on the ground. They looked at the young girl, her face covered with a thin layer of frost, seemingly displeased. They looked at the bewildered Zhang Yu, thought for a moment, then turned their heads to look at the cheerful museum owner.

Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng exchanged glances, both seeing the same expression in each other's eyes.

Something is definitely wrong!
