Time flies, and the years slip by. It's already been nearly two months.
In the evening market of Sea God Island, Li Changhen and Bo Saixi, disguised, were strolling through the streets.
After two months of getting to know each other, Bo Saixi had stopped being shy around Li Changhen. During these two months, Bo Saixi would invite Li Changhen out every day—to ask him about martial arts, take him sightseeing, and eat local delicacies, among other things.
Li Changhen was aware of Bo Saixi's intentions, of course. She'd made her feelings so obvious; if you couldn't tell, you'd be a fool! However, Li Changhen consistently maintained a detached, unreadable demeanor, which only amplified his charm.
The two continued strolling until the night market closed. On the way back, Bo Saixi walked beside Li Changhen, but she seemed preoccupied, constantly looking down and thinking.
"Ye Han Yue's Second Trial ends tomorrow. It'll be over soon."
"Once Ye Han Yue's Second Trial is complete, I'll have less time with Li Xian Sheng."
"And according to my womanly intuition, Li Xian Sheng's female disciple seems to like him too, she just hasn't realized it yet."
"And initially, she was a little hostile towards me, but she ended our relationship and gave me two months to win over Li Xian Sheng."
"Time is running out, so today is my last chance. I have to give it my all!"
"I'll fight for my own happiness!"
"Go, Bo Saixi! You can do it!"↖(^ω^)↗
With that thought, Bo Saixi's mind drifted to the evening before Ye Han Yue was to take the Second Trial.
Ye Han Yue found Bo Saixi and got straight to the point.
"High Priest, do you like my Master?"
Bo Saixi's face immediately flushed crimson at the question, and she stammered nervously.
"I, I don't. How could I like Li Xian Sheng?"
Seeing the High Priest's flustered expression, Ye Han Yue knew she was caught. She spoke directly.
"Then what does that expression mean? It's written all over your face. Who are you trying to fool?"
Hearing this, Bo Saixi, the High Priest, realized she couldn't hide it any longer and spoke her true feelings.
"It's true. I like Li Xian Sheng. From the moment I first saw him, I fell for him."
"But, I don't think I'm worthy of him. He's younger than me; it would be like an old cow eating young grass."
"He has such extraordinary talent that becoming a God is only a matter of time. And I'm just a High Priest of Sea God Island. What qualifications do I have to pursue him?"
At this point, Bo Saixi slowly lowered her head.
Seeing this, Ye Han Yue smirked, composed herself, and said seductively, "I can help you. I can tell you everything about my Master—his likes and dislikes, his living habits, his hobbies... You just have to win him over before my Second Trial is complete."
"But you'll owe me a favor in return."
"Don't worry, I won't pressure you to do anything you don't want to do."
"And if you haven't won him over by the time the deadline arrives, I'll consider you and my Master to be incompatible, and I'll intervene."
Having said all this, Ye Han Yue took a deep breath. "Finding a rival for myself? Ye Han Yue, you must be crazy! But it's the only way to deflect some of the pressure from my senior wife."
"Besides, this High Priest, Bo Saixi, can be an ally of mine. It depends on whether she has the ability to win over my Master."
"As a disciple, I'm also thinking about my Master. He's lonely without anyone to accompany him. It's only right for a disciple to find him a woman."
"And how many disciples can do what I'm doing? I'll probably never find a disciple as devoted as I am!"
"Yes, Ye Han Yue, you're doing the right thing. Don't have any psychological burdens. It's all for my Master's sake."
…………
After reassuring herself with many comforting thoughts, Ye Han Yue slowly regained her composure. After all, this method had its pros and cons.
The benefits were: first, someone else would share the pressure on her senior wife, and she would gain an ally; second, she would have an ally in the future, and wouldn't be isolated; third, she would lay the groundwork for her own future.
The drawbacks were: another person would share her Master's love, which was a little painful.
But after weighing the pros and cons, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, and she could only implement this plan.
She knew that this plan was originally suggested by Zi Zhenzhu. Zi Zhenzhu had told her two plans, and this was one of them—to share the pressure and prepare for her future.
When Ye Han Yue first heard the plan, her mind exploded. The pure and innocent Ye Han Yue was suddenly tainted by the schemes of society.
She never thought it could be done like this. She suddenly felt that her mind wasn't enough, and her brain exploded.
But deep down, there was a flicker of excitement at being discovered. She didn't know if it was because of her rebellious phase, but she suddenly found both plans appealing.
If she continued to follow her Master, it would be years before she could be with him. Perhaps by then, he would completely consider her a disciple, and it would be too late. Since it hasn't been long since she became his personal disciple, she should act quickly to secure her future happiness.
Thinking this, Ye Han Yue raised her head and looked at Bo Saixi with renewed confidence.
Li Changsheng probably hadn't realized that he'd only been gone for a few days, and his newly accepted personal disciple, Ye Han Yue, had been corrupted by Zi Zhenzhu and was now directly preparing to pursue her Master. When Li Changsheng found out, he would definitely make Zi Zhenzhu understand the consequences of spoiling his disciple.
And at this moment, Bo Saixi's mind hadn't yet recovered. Or rather, her mind had exploded the moment Ye Han Yue spoke, and she couldn't believe that Ye Han Yue, a disciple of Li Xian Sheng, would say such things.
She had thought that she would prevent other women from approaching her Master, or that Ye Han Yue had come to tell her to stay away from Li Changsheng.
But she never expected this.
This personal disciple of Li Xian Sheng was actually directly helping an outsider pursue her Master.
However, Bo Saixi wasn't foolish. Having been a High Priest for so many years, she was intelligent. She realized a possibility, and it was only possible that she found it unbelievable.
