Chapter 101: Yue Wuxia’s Thousand-Layer Scheme
“…I have that in mind,” Mingyan nodded. Why is Master asking this?
Is there anything wrong with me going to find my senior sister? After all, he had dual cultivated with Yue Qingying in front of his master before… at that time, his master hadn’t said anything… ahem, of course, at that time, his master must have had some resentment towards him and his senior sister.
Yue Wuxia glanced at Mingyan, then suddenly stood up. “Come with me.”
Mingyan also stood up with Yue Wuxia and walked out of the house together. Then, Yue Wuxia actually took Mingyan down the immortal mountain and towards the cold pool where Mingyan had once cultivated.
The cold pool was located below the Moon Shadow Branch. All the disciples of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow were not qualified to come here. Only the Moon Shadow Holy Maiden, Yue Qingying, the Supreme Elder, Yue Qingyou, and the Holy Master, Yue Wuxia, were qualified.
Because this was the place where the three of them bathed, others could not get close.
But Mingyan had been here before. When he was breaking through the Yin Tomb Realm, Yue Wuxia had let him come here. He had a deep memory of this place because it was indeed quite cold. At that time, Mingyan had found it a little hard to imagine. Did his master usually use this pool water to bathe? Wasn’t it cold?
But when he came to the cold pool with Yue Wuxia this time, he could hardly feel the cold anymore.
The power of Taiyin should be the coldest thing in this world, right? His physical body, which had been nourished by the Taiyang, had almost no feeling for such a temperature.
Arriving at the entrance of the cold pool, Yue Wuxia stopped, turned her head to look at Mingyan, and said coldly, “Wait here. I’m going to take a bath.”
“Hmm…” Mingyan’s expression was a little strange. Wait here? From here, he could see the situation inside at a glance. Master… don’t you need me to step away for a bit?
And did his master still need him to guard the door? In the entire Eastern Continent, how many Saints were there? Aunt Huang counted as one, Aunt Ning also counted as one, and the remaining one was his own master. Not to mention that the three of them were all women, they were already all the Saints in the Eastern Continent. They had a dimensionality-reduction advantage over others. The entire Eastern Continent was almost in the palm of the three Saints. What could Wind Spirit Moon Shadow hide from his master? Did she still need him to guard the door?
As for the existence above the three of them… Wang Qingchu, that was even more so… not to mention that it wouldn’t matter if his sister saw, would she even look? Unless she might have a look when he was present?
Mingyan couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. He was a little unable to figure out his master’s thoughts…
But since his master had asked him to wait, then he would. Maybe he could even see some benefits.
Mingyan stood at the entrance and saw his master walk in. With a casual wave of her hand, a faint mist appeared between her and him. The scene inside was faint and elusive. Plus, there was no light in the cave, so it was already impossible to see. Mingyan blinked. Sure enough, how could his master let him see?
Thinking of this, Mingyan shook his head, turned his back to the cave entrance, and faced the outside.
This was the entrance of the cave inside the mountain below the Moon Shadow Branch. It was surrounded by stone walls, and there was nothing to see. Mingyan also did not send out his divine sense to observe the situation behind the mist. Although his divine sense could see a rough outline, first of all, he was not that desperate. Secondly, the mist set up by his master, a Saint, was not something his divine sense could pass through. To see, there was only one way, and that was with the naked eye. But there was no light inside, so how could he possibly see?
Mingyan stood at the entrance of the cave, originally extremely bored. Suddenly, Yue Wuxia’s voice came over. “Mingyan…”
“Master?” Mingyan turned around and looked behind him. Anyway, he couldn’t see the situation inside, so it seemed there was no need to deliberately avoid anything. Besides, he couldn’t see his master, but she could see him. When his master spoke, he had to face her, right? This was basic courtesy.
But as soon as Mingyan turned around, his eyes almost went straight!
The mist was still there, but a faint light lit up behind it. And his master’s flawless figure was reflected on the mist, exceptionally clear!
????
What was his master doing? Didn’t she know that he could see her shadow?
Mingyan quickly lowered his head. “Master… is there anything you need?”
“Why are you lowering your head? You can’t see inside anyway. Raise your head,” Yue Wuxia’s voice came over, a little different from usual, her tone a little erratic.
“…” Doesn’t Master know that her silhouette is exposed? Although it wasn’t a real exposure in the true sense, just a shadow, this shadow was a bit too clear, wasn’t it?
Should I remind Master? Mingyan was a little conflicted. If he did, then wouldn’t she know that he had just seen her silhouette?
Then what if she punished him?
But if he didn’t say, and just peeked at his master’s shadow like this… that wasn’t good, right?
Thinking of this, Mingyan still spoke up. “Master… your shadow is reflected on… the mist. So… I don’t dare to raise my head.”
Yue Wuxia behind the mist: “…”
How could I not know?
Isn’t it deliberately for you to see? Instead of secretly looking, you even say it out loud, as if you’re afraid I don’t know?
This stupid disciple…
But, seeing Mingyan’s head firmly lowered, a gentle expression finally appeared on Yue Wuxia’s cold and beautiful face…
This guy, he still knows that a gentleman does not deceive even when alone…
What she gave him, he would take. What she did not give him, he would not take… Yue Wuxia waved her hand, extinguishing the light source behind the mist. Her figure also disappeared from the mist. “Raise your head. I was negligent just now. You didn’t see anything, did you?”
“I lowered my head as soon as I noticed,” Mingyan was telling the truth, but he had also avoided the question of whether he had actually seen anything.
Yue Wuxia also didn’t mind. It was originally for him to see, to arouse the ambiguity between them. It was she who hoped to deepen their relationship and make Mingyan care more about her. Naturally, she would not really blame Mingyan for anything.
“These few days, what have you been doing at Yaochi?”
“Nothing much. Just some trivial matters.”
“Some trivial matters, but your cultivation has improved quite quickly,” Yue Wuxia said calmly. “From the Divine Gate Realm to the Tai Yi Realm, you must have dual cultivated a lot, right?”
Mingyan coughed lightly twice. “You have the concentric pendant in your hand, Master. If you want, you can see my situation anytime. I don’t think I need to explain anything.”
“Pah! Who wants to see your situation,” but Yue Wuxia spat lightly. This rebellious disciple, who was disrespectful to his elders and didn’t know shame, did he think she was interested in his and those women’s romantic affairs?
Mingyan didn’t say anything. Yue Wuxia paused for a while and asked, “Your relationship with Ning Mengru is not simple. I didn’t expect you two to have this kind of relationship.”
Yue Wuxia did not know the real relationship between Mingyan and Ning Mengru. After all, she was not staring at him 24/7. Some information had been missed. It was just a speculation, and then she was using her speculation to test Mingyan.
But Mingyan didn’t know that. After all, his master could see his situation at any time. Who knew what she had seen?
So Mingyan was silent for a moment, and then he directly confessed. “Master… you know?”
?
There really is a relationship? Yue Wuxia’s brow furrowed slightly, a little surprised… how did this rebellious disciple get his hands on Ning Mengru?
