Can Your Master Give You This Kind of Benefit?

My Master is so good to me!

If I were to become the Direct Disciple of the Great Emperor, the most powerful Great Emperor, Qingshan Gou Di, because of the Great Emperor's cultivation technique, the Longevity Art, then I would be letting my Master down!

Images of his time with the Lotus Sword Emperor flashed through Xiao Yao's mind.

To improve his Sword Dao, she disregarded propriety and shame, nourishing him with magic and sharing a bed with him every day.

At the same time, she trusted him so much that anything she knew and he wanted to learn, she taught him without reservation.

Most importantly, she always put him first in her heart, cherishing him so dearly.

Therefore, unless his Master agreed, he could not take another Master.

Finishing his thoughts, he looked at Su Tanmeng with incredibly clear eyes, his expression serious and solemn, and he spoke with utmost sincerity.

"Qingshan Gou Di, I know you are very strong and powerful, but I already have a Master who dotes on me, so I won't consider becoming your disciple."

Su Tanmeng's eyes narrowed. She hadn't expected Xiao Yao to be so respectful of his Master.

If it were anyone else, upon learning she was Qingshan Gou Di, they would have surely abandoned their Master and become her disciple.

She felt a bit displeased, but more than anything, she felt comforted.

This meant the young man wasn't ungrateful.

I wonder who got such a good disciple; why don't I have this luck?

Su Tanmeng was filled with emotion, and her desire to take Xiao Yao as her Direct Disciple decreased significantly.

"Young man, have you truly decided?"

"If you miss this chance, you won't get another opportunity to regret it later!"

Xiao Yao nodded heavily, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had already made up his mind!

Su Tanmeng's soft eyebrows furrowed. She found that deep down, she couldn't bear to let the young man go.

It seemed that if she missed this young man, no other cultivator would ever appear who could become her Direct Disciple.

At this moment, her desire, which had previously waned, began to swell at an unprecedented speed.

Reason was gradually cast aside. Relying on her tall stature, she looked down at the still-developing Xiao Yao, exuding an extremely chilling and oppressive aura.

But Xiao Yao seemed unaffected. He raised his head, looking directly at the graceful and alluring Su Tanmeng, whose figure was fiery.

"Young man, I'll give you one last chance."

Su Tanmeng's voice, though gentle, carried a serious depth that made it immediately clear how formal her words were.

However, Xiao Yao seemed not to have considered it at all, or perhaps he was sticking to his original thoughts and will. He replied straightforwardly, "Qingshan Gou Di, even if you give me ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand more chances, I will not become your disciple. This is the only thing I can do for my Master right now."

Seeing Xiao Yao's resolve, Su Tanmeng knew that forcing him wouldn't work. Perhaps she should try a softer approach.

Having made up her mind, a golden-orange tail appeared behind her. She touched it lightly, and the fluffy, soft sensation registered on her hand.

She pouted, looking worried, and said, "What a shame! You won't be able to touch this Emperor's big tail anymore!"

"Big tail!" Xiao Yao murmured, his eyes widening.

Seeing this, Su Tanmeng knew this move was effective. She continued seductively, "Young man, as long as you become my disciple, you can touch my big tail every day!"

"I..." Xiao Yao was somewhat swayed. Touching it every day was something he had dreamed of.

But as images of the Lotus Sword Emperor crying profusely and looking furious flashed through his mind, Xiao Yao sobered up!

Then, with a slightly pained expression, he said, "I'm sorry, I really cannot betray my Master."

"Why?"

"Can your Master offer you this kind of benefit?"

Su Tanmeng was utterly baffled.

Xiao Yao shook his head slightly. "She can't, but she is my Master!"

"Why are you so stubborn?" Su Tanmeng was at her wit's end, her tone filled with anger.

Finally, she turned away and said angrily, "Fine! If I can't have him, your Master won't get him either. From today onwards, you won't be able to leave this place."

Thump, thump, thump!

The heavy footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

In Xiao Yao's eyes, every step Qingshan Gou Di took cracked the Emperor Tier stone path beneath her feet, clearly showing she was furious to the extreme.

However, because she valued his talent, she didn't lay a hand on him.

[Beep! Host, wasn't your former life's sage, Confucius, also had many masters? Why are you so fixated?]

"What do you know? Once a master, always a father. From the moment I called the Lotus Sword Emperor 'Master,' I had to do this. Moreover, she treated me so well; how could I betray her?" Xiao Yao retorted inwardly.

[Beep! Host, I understand your feelings, but you've angered Qingshan Gou Di now. In this situation, the possibility of escaping is infinitely close to zero!]

Xiao Yao gave a wry smile. He actually knew he should have left some room for maneuver.

But on this matter, there was simply no room!

Because if he did that, he would become a disciple who disrespected his Master!

Meanwhile, Su Tanmeng was observing Xiao Yao through her Spiritual Sense. She didn't understand why the young man was still so insistent, even after she had lowered herself so much.

So, what kind of person was the young man's Master?

As she thought, Su Tanmeng's curiosity grew stronger, making her want to see the young man's Master in person.

If I ask the young man to take me to see his Master, he definitely won't agree.

Because he's afraid I'll directly destroy his Master, I'll have to find another way.

"I've got it!"

As Su Tanmeng's voice fell, her body emitted a blinding light, and in an instant, she transformed into a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

Her appearance was the same as the clone Xiao Yao had been holding earlier.

Tap tap!

Xiao Yao heard faint footsteps and looked towards the sound. What he saw was the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox that had previously merged into Qingshan Gou Di's tail.

It's all this guy's fault. If it weren't for it, how could I have ended up like this?

At this moment, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox floated in the air, its front paws making a "follow me" gesture.

Xiao Yao understood, but why was the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox doing this? Was it feeling guilty?

With this thought, he walked up to the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and said indignantly, "You want me to come over..."

Before he could finish, his mouth was covered by the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's front paws. It cautiously looked around, and only after confirming there were no anomalies did it breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, it began to use its front paws again to gesture "I'll take you away from here."

"Gre..." Xiao Yao shouted the first syllable loudly, then quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Great!"

Soon, led by the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, he left Qingshan Gou Di's Great Emperor's dojo and arrived at the place with the colorful auspicious clouds.

With the crisis resolved, Xiao Yao hugged the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox with both arms, rubbing his cheek against it. "Thank you, but you'll definitely be punished by Qingshan Gou Di when you go back. Why don't you leave here with me? Can you?"

Just what I wanted!

Su Tanmeng was overjoyed inwardly. At the same time, she nodded and whimpered, appearing to agree.

"That's great!" Xiao Yao's face was filled with a joyful smile.

Little did he know, the real test had only just begun.
