### **Chapter 1501 — The Tea That Stayed The Same**
Inside the quiet pavilion courtyard—
The fragrance of Spirit Frost Tea drifted softly through the air—
Yang Lin took another sip—
Then calmly nodded—
"Thanks for the tea."
"It's really delicious."
The moment those words entered her ears—
Xue Yao's fingers paused slightly—
Her eyes lowering for a brief moment—
A faint blush appearing again—
Much smaller than before—
Yet still noticeable—
Then she quietly answered—
"...Good."
After a short silence—
"I'll be going now."
Without waiting further—
She turned around and left the pavilion—
Her white hair disappearing beyond the doorway—
Meanwhile—
Yang Lin casually looked toward the closed door—
Then took another sip of tea—
"Interesting."

### **Chapter 1502 — A Strange Routine**
The next day—
A familiar knock appeared again—
Knock.
Knock.
Yang Lin calmly answered—
"Come in."
The door opened—
Xue Yao entered carrying Spirit Frost Tea once more—
The exact same tea—
The exact same cup—
The exact same quiet expression—
She placed it down—
Then left.
The day after that—
The same thing happened.
And the day after that.
And the day after that.
Eventually—
It became a routine—
Every morning—
Spirit Frost Tea would appear inside Yang Lin's pavilion—
Delivered personally by Xue Yao—
Without fail.

### **Chapter 1503 — The First Disciples To Notice**
Naturally—
The Heaven Cutter Sect disciples weren't blind—
Several disciples cultivating near Yang Lin's courtyard quickly noticed the pattern—
One morning—
A young disciple blinked.
The next morning—
He blinked again.
By the fifth day—
He finally whispered—
"Why is Senior Xue Yao bringing tea to Sect Master every day?"
His companion immediately froze.
Then slowly replied—
"Now that you mention it..."
"It really is every day."
The two immediately looked at each other.
Then silently nodded.
Something felt suspicious.

### **Chapter 1504 — The Rumors Begin**
Cultivators cultivated many things—
Sword Dao.
Alchemy Dao.
Formation Dao.
And unfortunately—
Rumor Dao.
Within only a few days—
The entire disciple population had begun discussing it.
"Senior Xue Yao visits Sect Master's pavilion daily."
"I saw it myself."
"No way."
"It's true."
"She even personally delivers tea."
"Personally?"
"Personally."
The disciple gasped.
Then whispered dramatically—
"Could Senior Xue Yao and Sect Master be having a secret love affair?"
Several nearby disciples immediately widened their eyes.
"Impossible."
"Right?"
"...Right?"
Yet nobody sounded very confident.
---
### **Chapter 1505 — The Different Opinions**
Soon—
The disciples split into two groups.
The first group firmly believed the rumors.
"Senior Xue Yao only talks to Sect Master."
"She never visits anyone else's courtyard."
"She brings him tea every day."
"It's obvious."
Meanwhile—
The second group immediately opposed them.
"Impossible."
"Senior Xue Yao is an Immortal Venerable."
"How could someone like her be interested in romance?"
"Exactly."
"She probably just respects Sect Master."
Both sides argued endlessly—
Neither willing to surrender.
Meanwhile—
The rumors continued spreading.

### **Chapter 1506 — FeiFei Notices**
One afternoon—
FeiFei happened to see Xue Yao walking toward Yang Lin's pavilion again.
Carrying Spirit Frost Tea.
FeiFei blinked.
Then blinked again.
Then slowly turned toward Su Qinglan.
"Senior Sister."
"Has Senior Xue been delivering tea every day?"
Su Qinglan looked up calmly.
"Yes."
FeiFei froze.
"Every day?"
"Every day."
FeiFei immediately became thoughtful.
Very thoughtful.
Far too thoughtful.
---
### **Chapter 1507 — The Others Begin Watching**
Soon afterward—
Han Chen noticed as well.
Then Han Qing.
Then Ning Mei.
Then Yue Bingxin.
Even Daji eventually discovered it.
One evening—
The group quietly sat together discussing cultivation.
Then Daji suddenly smiled.
"Interesting."
Han Chen immediately became nervous.
Because whenever Daji said "interesting"—
Chaos usually followed.
"What is?"
Daji's fox-like eyes curved slightly.
"Senior Xue delivers tea to Sect Master every day."
Silence.
Then—
Everyone suddenly realized they had all noticed the same thing.
---
### **Chapter 1508 — Yue Bingxin's Observation**
Yue Bingxin remained silent for a while.
Then calmly spoke—
"She never misses a day."
The others immediately looked toward her.
Because that observation was strangely specific.
Yue Bingxin continued calmly—
"I've seen it seven days consecutively."
FeiFei nearly fell out of her chair.
"You counted?!"
Yue Bingxin blinked once.
Then looked away.
"I didn't count."
The surrounding people immediately became unconvinced.
---
### **Chapter 1509 — Daji's Smile**
Meanwhile—
Daji's smile became increasingly mischievous.
"A daily tea delivery."
"Personally prepared."
"Personally delivered."
"Always at the same time."
FeiFei's eyes widened.
Han Chen covered his face.
Ning Mei looked shocked.
Han Qing pretended not to hear.
Then Daji softly laughed.
"Those disciples might not be completely wrong."
Instantly—
Several people nearly choked.
"Daji!"
"Stop spreading rumors!"
Daji merely smiled innocently.
"I didn't say anything."
Which somehow sounded even more suspicious.

### **Chapter 1510 — The Person Who Didn't Notice**
Meanwhile—
At the center of all the rumors—
Yang Lin remained completely unaware.
Inside his pavilion—
He calmly accepted the tea as usual.
"Thanks."
Xue Yao quietly nodded.
Then left.
Simple.
Direct.
Nothing unusual.
Yet outside—
The disciples continued discussing endlessly.
Some firmly believed a romance was developing.
Others rejected the idea completely.
And the rumors only grew larger with each passing day.
Meanwhile—
Far above the Heaven Cutter Sect—
The immortal clouds drifted peacefully—
Unaware that the greatest mystery currently discussed among the disciples—
Was no longer cultivation.
Nor hidden realms.
Nor Immortal Venerables.
But rather—
Why Senior Xue Yao kept bringing Spirit Frost Tea to Sect Master Yang Lin every single day.
