"For the past fourteen years, I have been under your care. For the rest of my life..."
"Let guide you forward!"
As Lin Xiao spoke with sincerity, he expertly wrapped his arm around his Master’s slender waist.
Just then, a sentence reached his ears that made his entire body tremble.
"Xiao’er, the decision I made... is to give you to Yurong..."
"What?!"
Lin Xiao was stunned at first, then couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. "Master, you’re so strict... about making yourself the cuckold!"
"Don’t be hasty. Let finish."
Xiao Hongling took the initiative to grasp her disciple’s large hand. "Your marriage to Yurong was... it was an impulsive decision I made to rid myself of guilt. But now that you and Yurong have already perford the wedding ceremony, I absolutely cannot blatantly steal him away from her!"
"This would be an unbearable hurt for an eighteen-year-old girl!"
"So? What are you planning to do now...?"
Lin Xiao looked astonished; he found himself understanding his beautiful Master’s train of thought less and less.
"Didn’t I just say...?"
Xiao Hongling lowered her head, seemingly finding it difficult to speak. After a long pause, her cheeks flushed red as she whispered, "I... I only said that I can’t do it blatantly... If you truly like , we... perhaps we could secretly maintain a romantic relationship!"
Heavens! Master, it turns out you were the most deeply hidden Minotaur all along!
Lin Xiao’s eyes widened, utterly speechless.
"But!"
Just as Lin Xiao was still reeling from shock, the beautiful Master before him once again leaned close to his ear, her breath like orchids as she whispered, "Even if... even if we are lovers in secret, so things... need to be taken slowly! Because, for now, I find it a bit hard to accept... It just feels... so strange!"
As she said this, her beautiful phoenix eyes couldn’t help but glance down at her disciple’s lower body. "Such shaful acts as before... I will no longer indulge you in them!"
"Alright, alright. Pure love, I understand."
Lin Xiao nodded, not resisting. "So, Master, since the mood is already set, just a little cuddling wouldn’t be too much, right?"
"Cuddling?"
Xiao Hongling, who had been afraid her disciple wouldn’t agree, tilted her head at his words, looking surprisingly innocent and cute.
But in the next second, she fully understood what "cuddling" ant.
As their faces drew intimately near, their thick eyelashes nearly brushing.
Her eyes slightly open, she watched her disciple’s expression with a dazed and intoxicated gaze, her snow-white, delicate hands taking the initiative to encircle his waist!
After settling his Master down, Lin Xiao walked out of the Lotus Cave Mansion, instinctively wiping his lips.
Just monts ago, he had discussed with his Master their plan to summon the three junior martial sisters for an ergency eting at the Hongyan Building that evening, intending to give them a surprise.
Therefore, while it was still daylight, the most important thing now was to...
Appease the two great beauties of Phoenix Caw Peak!
As the saying goes, it’s like choosing between the palm and the back of your hand—both are flesh, both are precious.
Wanning and Martial Uncle Su, they are also won that he, Lin, likes!
No. To be precise, the relationship between Martial Uncle Su and ... it’s purely a ’special understanding,’ right?
Ah, this feeling is still too strange! I hope Martial Uncle Su doesn’t try to overpower this ti! Wanning makes my heart ache too much; I absolutely can’t betray her trust!
If that’s the case, why not play it safe and go for... a master-apprentice ’shared platter’?
A shockingly audacious idea surfaced in Lin Xiao’s mind.
Imdiately after, his body also began to feel increasingly strange!
His incomparably potent Formless Sword Body inexplicably surged, becoming several tis more substantial, as if it were about to burst out of his clothes at any mont!
Lin Xiao! Get a grip! Is this sothing a normal person would even think of?
That’s right! Even if such a stimulating event were to happen one day, Martial Uncle Su would have to be the one leading it! It would have nothing to do with !
Lin Xiao cald his racing thoughts, activated his True Yuan, and flew towards Phoenix Caw Peak on his sword.
「Phoenix Caw Peak, Chairman’s Main Hall, Side Hall.」
A pair of exceptionally beautiful won, each with her own distinct charm, resembling a mother and daughter, were clinging to each other. Their expressions were sorrowful, as if their hearts were enduring imnse grief.
The younger one, dressed in snow-white robes, her features pure and lovely, was shedding tears profusely, soaking the clothes of the beautiful mature woman in her arms.
"BOO HOO HOO... I’m sorry, Master..."
"Wanning promised you... I would never cry so easily again in this life! But... when Master Uncle Xiao said Senior Brother Lin was gone, Wanning... Wanning just couldn’t control it!"
"There are so things Wanning never dared to tell you directly, Master... Actually, I... I really, really like Senior Brother Lin..."
Having received a strict upbringing from a young age, she struggled to control her emotions, trying not to sob aloud, but her face grew redder as she held back, coughing violently.
"Sigh, Wanning, I truly never expected that soone with a disposition as cool as yours could beco so deeply attached to a person," Su i remarked, her heart feeling as if it were being twisted by a knife as she watched.
She gently patted her disciple’s back, an image of that handso, tall young man appearing in her mind.
And his handso face, which would always appear at the critical mont, leaning close to her ear to softly ask, "Does it hurt?"
The more she thought, the sadder she beca. She sighed softly and said, "Alas, who could say otherwise? Actually, I also..."
She bit her lip, then continued, "I also feel it’s a great pity about that boy, Lin Xiao."
"But! For so reason, I’ve always felt that boy wouldn’t just pass away like this. He still has a long road ahead of him in this life!"
Su i suddenly looked into the void, her eyes becoming resolute.
"What?"
"Is what Master said true? Senior Brother Lin... he might still be alive? But Master Uncle Xiao was so certain..." Zhu Wanning lifted her tear-filled eyes, looking at her Master in confusion.
"I can’t say for sure... It’s just an intuition."
Su i held back her tears, forcing a smile onto her dignified and charming face. "Wanning, have you forgotten? That boy is the chosen one. He remained obscure for more than ten years but managed to defeat the arrogant Ye Chen in the martial arts contest of the Five Branches, seizing the championship. Not only that, but he also reached the final floor of the Sword Tomb with you! You should know his capabilities better than anyone, right?"
"Do you think... he would just fall on his own wedding night?"
"I... I certainly don’t believe it!" Zhu Wanning shook her head, her eyes filled with utter desolation. After a mont, her gaze gradually beca dazed, and she murmured, But... could a miracle really happen? It’s true, Senior Brother Lin promised that after the wedding, he would definitely return to my side. He would give an explanation...
Ever since I first connected with him, he has always kept every promise he made. But this ti... can he still return to , safe and sound?
She thought blankly, tears once again blurring her vision.
Probably not.
The only man in my life whom I truly love...
The husband who exchanged wedding vows with , with whom I lovingly joined in Dual Cultivation in the Secret Realm, our hearts full of mutual affection...
He has left forever.
"Senior Brother Lin, Wanning once said that night, as long as you are not unfaithful to , Wanning will never be unfaithful to you, even unto death!"
Zhu Wanning closed her eyes in despair. At the sa ti, catching her Master off guard, with a sweep of her finger, she summoned her Immortal Sword, intending to end her life for love!
Just at that mont, a familiar voice called out:
"Wanning! Martial Uncle Su! Lin Xiao is back!"
Hearing this voice, Zhu Wanning’s pupils dilated to their widest. As if in a dream, she stood bewildered, holding the Immortal Sword, still in the posture of taking her own life.
A long, long ti passed before she finally ca back to her senses!
And what surprised her sowhat was that...
Her Master, who had been embracing her just monts before, had already abandoned her. With swift steps, employing her unique movent technique, she was rushing towards the owner of the voice outside the door!
"Master, she..."
