As Meng Yixuan’s Shizun, he snickered behind his hand at the thought, Yao Qinghuan’s first instruction was for the other to move his stuff directly to his courtyard, in the pavilion due east to the peak master’s.
This was to ensure that they could do some decent tutelage and not waste any time on travel.
It was also because the Peak Masters all lived directly on a leyline head and for those with a lower status, they lived on at least a leyline tail, which could be considered the final part of the qi cycle before excess expulsion.
However, he felt that Meng Yixuan didn’t need to be notified of his samaritan actions.
Spoiler, Meng Yixuan knew. And he also knew that the seemingly cold master act was just that, an act.

Of course, he used the privilege to its optimum, flying back, picking up his very few items, as well as the previous owner’s items out of pity and stashing them in his crystal.
Finally, he arrived back to a giddy Yao Qinghuan gushing to his Shizhang about how cute his disciple is, ignorant to the fact that he’d returned.
Gao Ling spotted him before Yao Qinghuan did and beckoned him in subtly, wanting to give his bully of a Shixiong the freight of a lifetime.
It worked, of course, but Yao Qinghuan at this point, had given up on being the ever-cool Shizun. Being a sometimes cool one was good enough, he decided as he turned around with a cool expression, according to himself.
“Well, young disciple, let me lead you to your new home.” And they all went to the house less than a three minute walk away.
As they walked, Meng Yixuan wondered out loud accidentally, “if Shizhang is Shizun’s spouse, and a Shizun is a father, does that make Shizhang my mu—”
He heard himself in real life and not just in his head and shied at his words, flushing awkwardly and keeping strictly silent thereafter.
However, what’s done was done. The Gao Ling who’d taken on the role of the cool one also froze up before his concealed endearment found it way to his face, and he squeezed the hand that was intertwined with his own.
He very softly, almost inaudibly, whispered “yes” as they arrived.
He breathed out in relief as the embarrassment hadn’t had the time to settle, and Meng Yixuan clearly hadn’t heard.
Spoiler, he had. And he felt very soft. So soft, in fact, that he wore a soft smile as he walked into his new home with his “parents”.
