After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 87: Confessing My Feelings

Shangguan Mufeng's surprised demeanor vanished completely.

Is his master really only thirty-nine years old?

Gan Luo had heard of this martial art many years ago.

This technique can preserve one's appearance.

Gan Luo calmly uttered four words.

"Only frivolous methods."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Penglai Sect clapped his hands.

"Your Highness is indeed clever; it is indeed this technique."

While this technique can maintain one's appearance, it also has drawbacks.

The downside is that one will experience excruciating pain on the night of the full moon.

Gan Luo inquired about the name of the sect leader of the Penglai Sect.

"Maple Moon".

Upon hearing the name, Gan Luo suddenly felt that this sect sounded like a woman's sect.

Could it be that the sect leader and the Shadow Hall leader are both women disguised as men?

"I know what Your Highness wants to ask. I am a man, and this name is just a name. The name is not important. What is important is that I am the sect leader of Penglai Sect, isn't that right?"

Gan Luo listened and thought that what the sect leader of Penglai Sect said made sense.

As dusk approached, Gan Luo glanced at the sect leader.

"As night deepens, why don't you stay at my residence tonight, Sect Leader? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Penglai Sect was quite blunt.

"Your Highness's invitation is kindly extended, and I naturally accept."

The sect leader of Penglai Sect has taken a slight interest in Gan Luo.

Unfortunately, I now have to go back and deal with these old rascals.

After all, these old rascals have been urging him to take on disciples.

Even after telling these old rascals that he had already taken on disciples, they still didn't believe him.

But they insisted that he take his disciple back before it would count.

The sect leader of Penglai Sect had no other choice but to seek out Shangguan Mufeng.

When he taught Shangguan Mufeng, he only hoped that Shangguan Mufeng would have the skills to defend himself.

The reason why I am now teaching Shangguan Mufeng kung fu is very simple.

The goal was to deceive them and make them all believe that Shangguan Mufeng was his direct disciple.

Shangguan Mufeng saw the sect leader of Penglai Sect standing under the pear blossom tree.

Unable to resist, he walked up to the sect leader.

"The sect leader is standing here so late at night, could it be because he can't sleep?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Penglai Sect Master turned to look at Shangguan Mufeng.

Would you be willing to become my direct disciple?

Hearing the words "direct disciple".

Shangguan Mufeng's eyes widened.

"Are you really willing to accept me as your direct disciple?"

The meaning of being a direct disciple is simply to pass on all the knowledge and skills one has acquired throughout one's life to him.

He still hoped that the person in front of him would think twice before acting.

“I haven’t taken on many disciples, you are my only disciple, and you have quite a bit of talent, so I am willing to pass on all my knowledge to you.”

Shangguan Mufeng knelt down with a thud.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

The sect leader of Penglai personally helped Shangguan Mufeng up.

"If you become my personal disciple, you will become the new sect leader of Penglai in the future."

Then he told Shangguan Mufeng all the pros and cons of the matter.

The two talked late into the night by candlelight.

Gan Luo overheard their conversation clearly.

However, Gan Luo didn't seem to care at all.

Gan Luo only hoped that Shangguan Mufeng would become more and more powerful, so that he would be able to marry the girl he liked.

Perhaps it's because Shangguan Mufeng has never harmed Gan Luo.

Gan Luo would then hope that he could find a good man.

Green Bamboo looked at Shangguan Mufeng, her eyes glistening with tears.

Gan Luo happened to be passing by and saw Green Bamboo secretly crying.

Gan Luo was a little confused, thinking that the maid had bullied Lü Zhu.

Surprisingly, no one bullied Green Bamboo.

Why are you crying here?

"It's nothing, Your Highness, just some sand in my eyes."

There's no wind at all this night, so how could sand possibly get into my eyes?

Gan Luo was surprised that even Green Bamboo was unwilling to tell her the truth.

"If anyone bullies you, you should definitely sue me, and I will stand up for you."

"Your Highness, I feel that I have fallen in love with Young Master Shangguan."

Gan Luo was surprised at that moment.

Unexpectedly, Green Bamboo fell in love with Shangguan Mufeng.

"I will go and test whether Shangguan Mufeng has any feelings for you."

Gan Luo's mind-reading ability was ineffective against Shangguan Mufeng.

Since mind-reading is ineffective, we must try another method.

Green Bamboo had followed Gan Luo for many years.

Gan Luo had long regarded Green Bamboo as his own sister.

Moreover, in her previous life, Green Bamboo also died to save Gan Luo.

Although many things have changed in this life compared to the previous one, there are still similarities.

Gan Luo understood that Green Bamboo genuinely cared for him.

Naturally, Gan Luo would worry about Green Bamboo's lifelong happiness.

In the dead of night, Gan Luo noticed that the light in Shangguan Mufeng's room was still on.

Gan Luo personally went to Shangguan Mufeng's door and knocked on it.

Shangguan Mufeng sensed someone opening the door, but it turned out to be Gan Luo.

He bowed respectfully to Gan Luo.

Shangguan Mufeng was extremely puzzled as to why Gan Luo would be here now.

"I would like to have a talk with you. Would Young Master Shangguan be willing?"

"I would be delighted if Your Highness wished to speak with me."

Shangguan Mufeng then made a gesture of invitation.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Shangguan Mufeng was Gan Luo's male favorite.

Now, it would be perfectly acceptable for Gan Luo to enter Shangguan Mufeng's room.

Shangguan Mufeng personally poured tea for Gan Luo.

"I wonder why Your Highness has come here at this time."

"I would like to ask you, do you have someone you admire?"

Someone he admired? Shangguan Mufeng turned his gaze to Gan Luo.

I thought carefully about my feelings for Gan Luo.

For a moment, it was hard to tell the difference.

"I……"

Looking at Shangguan Mufeng's hesitant manner.

Gan Luo was getting impatient.

"How can a man be so indecisive these days, either having it or not?"

"Your Highness, I love you."

A hint of determination lingered in Shangguan Mufeng's eyes.

When Gan Luo heard this, his expression changed instantly.

No one had ever imagined that Shangguan Mufeng would like Gan Luo.

“I remember that I brought you into the princess’s residence and then I never paid any attention to you.”

"Who wouldn't admire the princess's exceptional beauty?"

People in this world say that women are inferior to men.

But in Gan Luo's work, one can see women acting like men.

How could Shangguan Mufeng not like this?

Gan Luo overheard everything that happened inside the house from outside the door.

I never imagined that Gan Luo would be liked by Shangguan Mufeng.

"There is no possibility between us."

Gan Luo then stood up in displeasure.

He left without even turning his head.

After Gan Luo left, Shangguan Mufeng slumped to the ground in despair.

A faint floral fragrance floats in the air.

The fragrance of this flower is a remnant of Ganluo.

Shangguan Mufeng knew that he would never be able to return to the princess's residence in this lifetime.
