A Late-Night Talk Between Master and Disciple, and an Envious Su Jinxuan

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue instinctively looked up at Baili Qiushui. Seeing that Baili Qiushui's expression was very serious, she was taken aback.

Did Young Master Lu bully her?

Baili Mingyue instinctively thought of the slap Lu Yang had given her a couple of days ago, and her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Baili Qiushui felt a chill in her heart, and her intelligent and beautiful face turned ashen.

"You really let that lewd and immoral bastard take your body?! Good, good... that scoundrel! My disciple and I worked diligently to set up the formations for him and the sect; we deserve credit for our hard work, and yet he dared to do this to you! Your master... your master will definitely avenge you!"

Baili Mingyue was stunned by Baili Qiushui's cold words. "Huh?"

She was stunned for two seconds before she realized what her master had said.

No... how did my master come up with that idea?!

Did Young Master Lu take her body?

How could that be?!

Her face flushed crimson, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "Master... Master! No! Young Master Lu... Young Master Lu didn't want... you know... How could someone with my talent and understanding be worthy of Young Master Lu? Young Master Lu would never even look at me..."

As she spoke, Baili Mingyue's eyes reddened again.

She wasn't even qualified to be his pet; Young Master Lu wouldn't even bother to hit her...

Hearing Baili Mingyue's words, Baili Qiushui's anger subsided immediately. However, when she saw her disciple's eyes redden again, she was completely stunned.

If she wasn't defiled, why does she look like she's been bullied?

However, Baili Qiushui had lived for hundreds of years and quickly realized what was happening.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

Perhaps I misunderstood?

So it turns out my good disciple wasn't upset because his body had been taken away, but because he hadn't?!

Goodness...

My own disciple has actually taken a liking to that Young Master Lu?

She hurriedly asked nervously, "My dear disciple, you wouldn't have fallen for Young Master Lu, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue stiffened and hurriedly waved her hands, saying nervously, "Disciple, disciple dare not! Young Master Lu a god-like figure... How could disciple presume to ask for Young Master Lu's favor?"

I wouldn't dare... It's not that I didn't like it?

Baili Qiushui felt a tightness in her chest.

My own disciple has actually taken a liking to that guy!

No way... you should at least have some self-awareness!

Although that kid was indeed licentious and immoral, his talent, family background, comprehension, and appearance were all unparalleled in the Canglan Realm.

You're someone who never leaves the house, and you're even afraid to look people in the eye when you speak. If you fall for him, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Which of his many mistresses was easy to deal with?

They are all top-notch women in every aspect; how can you possibly compete with them?

No! I can't let my good disciple fall into this trap!

As her master, who was as close as a mother to her, Baili Qiushui immediately made a decision.

She quickly said, "Good disciple, let me tell you, I heard from your Martial Uncle Su that Lu Yang is a lewd and immoral man. He often sleeps with his several beauties without ever hiding it. When he sees a beautiful female cultivator, he tries to add her sound transmission mark... Such a man is not a good match at all! He is not suitable for a good girl like you. Listen to your master, let's find someone else to like?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue's face turned even paler.

Her heart was breaking as she murmured, "Young Master Lu... how could he be so licentious and immoral?"

She actually hopes that Young Master Lu will be licentious and immoral!

She didn't aspire to be Young Master Lu's confidante, but perhaps being his pet would be a possibility?

But Young Master Lu didn't lay a hand on her at all; he didn't seem to dare to do it again, even after what happened last time.

How is this debauchery and immorality?

She looked at Baili Qiushui and said, "Master, you don't understand him. He's not absurd; he's a gentleman."

Baili Qiushui: "????"

She was completely stunned, her mouth agape as if she had heard something unbelievable. "Who's a gentleman? Lu Yang? Him???"

Although Baili Qiushui exaggerated somewhat to make her beloved disciple give up, she had personally heard her friend talk about Lu Yang's affairs. How could he possibly be considered a virtuous gentleman?

Could my good disciple have been bewitched?

However, Baili Qiushui had to admit that Lu Yang was indeed a woman's nemesis. Putting aside everything else, just his appearance alone was enough to make even someone like her, who didn't care about looks, dazed. Let alone her good disciple, a pure-hearted girl who usually stayed at home and rarely went out and had never seen many male cultivators.

For Lu Yang, appearance was merely the most basic factor.

The fact that he gave his best friend the life-saving ring and came to his rescue in time when he was in danger shows that he truly cares about his beloved.

Moreover, according to his own confidante, the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves was all given to him by that guy.

When she heard about this, even Baili Qiushui had a fleeting thought that if she became a concubine, she might be able to get some Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.

This guy is really generous to his girlfriend.

Moreover, he's not the arrogant or conceited type, so he shouldn't be difficult to get along with.

Such men are truly poison to women...

Baili Qiushui sighed inwardly. If her good disciple could communicate normally with people, she wouldn't object to her disciple pursuing her love.

But she couldn't get her good disciple to utter a sound even after three blows, and she was really afraid that her disciple would be bullied by Lu Yang's several beauties.

However, a sudden inspiration struck Baili Qiushui, and a bold idea came to him.

It's not impossible...

After all, his own friend was that guy's confidante. If his disciple really wanted to throw himself into the fire like a moth, perhaps his own friend could help keep an eye on him.

Of course, thinking about these things now is useless.

I'm afraid that Young Master Lu might not even think much of his good disciple.

Baili Qiushui thought about many things for a while, and his feelings were very complicated.

The only thing that Baili Qiushui is grateful for now is that she no longer needs to try to fight Lu Yang to the death.

Otherwise, she really felt she couldn't compete...

If I were caught assassinating Young Master Lu, wouldn't he probably make me wish I were dead?

The thought of some terrifying punishments made Baili Qiushui, even though he was already at the Nascent Soul Realm, feel a little uneasy.

She glanced at her good disciple, who seemed somewhat dazed and devastated, and thought that at least the current situation wasn't the worst.

She sighed softly, then said, "Alright, get some rest. Tomorrow we'll go check out the Spirit Vein node together and try to complete Young Master Lu's instructions as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, Master."

While Baili Qiushui and his disciple Baili Mingyue were exchanging words, Lu Yang, along with Liu Yaoyao, Mu Yunxue, and Su Jinxuan, had already entered the courtyard and closed the door.

Looking at her two good disciples, Su Jinxuan felt somewhat uneasy.

Liu Yaoyao also felt a little uneasy.

After all, she and Yunxue had been having quite a bit of fun with the young master these past two days. Although the Supreme Elder hadn't seen them, he was right there in the courtyard, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Only Mu Yunxue maintained her usual indifferent expression, and instead started chatting with Su Jinxuan about her recent insights into the Metal Dao.

As they chatted, Su Jinxuan glanced at Mu Yunxue with some shock and couldn't help but ask, "Yunxue, your talent wasn't this astounding before. How come your talent is like this now...?"

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Yang, and a look of inquiry appeared in her eyes.

Mu Yunxue nodded, her tone as calm as if she were asking what she had eaten that day, "Lu Yang gave me a Metal Spirit Fruit, and I awakened the Geng Metal Spirit Physique."

As for the two instances where she herself was unclear about how her talent had changed, Mu Yunxue did not mention them.

Even so, when Su Jinxuan heard that Mu Yunxue had actually obtained the Great Dao Spirit Fruit and awakened her Spirit Physique, she immediately looked at Lu Yang with a look of shock in her eyes.

She parted her red lips, her voice carrying a slight change. "... The Great Dao Spirit Fruit? That heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can help one awaken their Spirit Physique?? You actually gave it to someone else?"

At this moment, even Su Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy.
