Eight days had passed in the blink of an eye.
During these eight days, virtually all employees at Caiying had learned that Gu Chenan was actually the company's owner.
Those who had previously been eager to help Su Qianmo catch her fiancé cheating had become much more subdued after Wang Ming and his cohorts were fired.
With nothing left to do, Gu Chenan spent his days either playing hide-and-seek with Bai Yutian and Hoshino Kannon in the estate or taking Liu Mingrui out for entertainment.
To be honest, Gu Chenan was growing tired of these somewhat mundane days.
He even wished his system would send him to another world for another wonderful adventure.
However, his useless system didn't have such capability.
This left Gu Chenan thoroughly disappointed.
Among the female protagonists, only Tang Yunjin and Fang Yuanyuan hadn't been transported over yet, so Gu Chenan looked forward to the arrival of the next one to bring some excitement to his life.
Just then, while he was playing console games in the living room at noon, a brilliant flash of light suddenly appeared.
"Here it comes!"
Gu Chenan jumped up in excitement.
Within the bright light, a figure quickly materialized.
She was petite but had distinct curves, and most notably, she was an A-cup.
Little Sister Tang!
Seeing Little Sister Tang's silhouette in the bright light, Gu Chenan made an exaggerated bow and said, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"
Tang Yunjin, completely unable to comprehend the situation, stood frozen in confusion.
"Chenan?"
......
Gu Chenan then proceeded to explain everything to Tang Yunjin about what was happening and the differences between the real world and the novel world.
By now, he could recite this explanation perfectly, without missing a single word.
After the explanation, Tang Yunjin still seemed puzzled.
She unconsciously put her finger in her mouth, chewed on her nail a bit, and said, "Say, you brought over Miss Su and Miss Liu and the others, but why bring me?"
"Huh?"
Gu Chenan didn't understand immediately and asked in confusion, "Is there any difference between you and them?"
"Um......"
Tang Yunjin sat quietly on the sofa, taking her small feet clad in white cotton socks out of her leather shoes, swinging them back and forth as she said, "They're all your girlfriends, in various ways, but I'm your master. That's obviously different."
"M-master?"
Damn!
Hearing this, Gu Chenan felt embarrassed.
Right, Little Sister Tang was his master, and she had never expressed any feelings beyond their master-disciple relationship!
Damn it, had he misunderstood everything?
Shit, this was awkward.
Gu Chenan scratched his face: "Right, you're my master, no problem, that's how it is."
Tang Yunjin's adorable black pupils moved slowly as she secretly glanced at Gu Chenan, then pretended to ask casually, "So what are your intentions now?"
"Me?"
Gu Chenan was stunned, blinking: "I don't have any particular intentions......"
"Oh."
Tang Yunjin nodded, looking down at her feet.
They both fell into silence.
At this moment, Gu Chenan was quite frustrated.
He hadn't thought much about it when bringing Tang Yunjin to the real world, but only after she brought it up did he realize his decision might have been inappropriate.
The other female leads had all expressed their feelings for him in some way, so bringing them to the real world was reasonable, but Little Sister Tang was different.
She was his master, and she hadn't shown any other intentions toward him. It was quite inappropriate, extremely inappropriate, to arbitrarily bring her to reality.
But he didn't know Tang Yunjin's true thoughts behind these words.
Bai Yutian had long noticed that Tang Yunjin had special feelings for Gu Chenan, and before they were kidnapped by Lin Yu, Bai Yutian had even encouraged Tang Yunjin to confess.
Previously, Tang Yunjin hadn't been sure about Gu Chenan's feelings. What if he just wanted to be her disciple rather than a rebellious student in love? Confessing would have been embarrassing in that case.
But when Tang Yunjin realized she had been brought to the real world because of Gu Chenan, she was secretly overjoyed.
Just look at who else Gu Chenan had brought besides Tang Yunjin!
Su Qianmo, his fiancée!
Liu Mingrui, his childhood friend turned lover!
Hoshino Kannon, the girl with slight yandere tendencies who was brought back from the edge by Gu Chenan!
Bai Yutian, his little maid and object of his special interests.
So, being brought back must mean that she held a similar place in Gu Chenan's heart as these other women!
But although Tang Yunjin understood her position in Gu Chenan's heart, she was still his master, and it felt embarrassing for a master to confess to her disciple.
At the very least, shouldn't she wait for Gu Chenan to express his feelings first?
......
The continued silence made the atmosphere grow stiff.
After a long while, Gu Chenan stood up and said, "Please sit for a moment, I need to use the bathroom."
"Mm." Tang Yunjin nodded.
Gu Chenan quickly walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and wiped his face.
Wow!
This was a big problem.
He hadn't considered whether Little Sister Tang wanted to come before bringing her here!
He was just her disciple, not her love interest, so what right did he have to bring her here?
Wait, no!
Suddenly, Gu Chenan remembered something.
Although he wasn't her love interest, hadn't she let him see everything during their acupuncture practice?
And she hadn't shown any signs of unwillingness then?
So, could it be that she also had feelings for him?
Otherwise, why would she......
Hmm~
Yes, that must be it!
Little Sister Tang definitely had feelings for him, otherwise why would she have been naked in front of him?
With this thought, Gu Chenan opened the bathroom door and walked back to the living room sofa with confident strides.
Confess!
No matter what, he should confess first!
"Little Sister Tang."
Gu Chenan turned to look at Tang Yunjin, who turned back to face him. Her lovely face seemed like heaven's masterpiece, her long eyelashes slightly curled upward, her small but straight nose carrying a hint of girlish playfulness, all her features perfectly arranged.
"What is it? Are you going to answer why you brought me here?" Tang Yunjin asked.
"Yes."
Gu Chenan nodded and was about to speak.
But then Tang Yunjin said: "Do you see me as a girlfriend too?"
Gu Chenan froze for two seconds.
Then he nodded firmly: "Is... is that okay?"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
