Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 115 Mo Xue: It hurts, it hurts so much! (7000-word chapter)

When Luo Fanchen and Ming Ruoxue left the Soul Palace, a group of people were already kneeling at the entrance of the steward's room.

More than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, looking listless and sickly, were escorted into the arena after their cultivation was sealed by spirit puppets, and forced to kneel on the ground.

Luo Fanchen brushed past him and caught a glimpse of Tuo Tian, ​​who was accompanied by a fair-skinned middle-aged Taoist priest.

He had sharp, pointed eyebrows and a high, straight nose. His somewhat rigid appearance gave him a scholarly air and an aura of righteousness. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that his eyes were long and narrow at the corners, his cheekbones were slightly raised, and he had a hint of ferocity. His narrow pupils, when squinted, resembled a crescent moon, which made people feel uneasy.

"The head of the Tuo family, Tuo Hao."

Luo Fanchen narrowed his eyes. This person's cultivation was unfathomable. Even from a distance of several feet, the true essence in Luo Fanchen's body was almost sluggish, and every inch of his flesh was trembling. He dared not look directly at him. He had a similar sense of oppression to Luo Qianqiu. He must be a cultivator of the Precious Core stage.

The Tuo family has two Precious Elixir Realm Masters and four Void Elixir Realm Masters.

The Tuo Hao before us was a dantian three hundred years ago. It is said that he was of the same generation as Tuo Yuanxi, but unfortunately, he failed to resonate with the Xuanzhang and switched to cultivating the family's Xuanzhang.

This profound chapter is called the "Overturning Clouds and Rain Technique," renowned throughout the two regions. It was created by the ancestor of the four great families, who comprehended it by observing the churning of the Luo River. It is similar in essence to the "Supreme Forgetfulness of the Luo River Goddess Technique," though they are different paths. However, it is a product of a failed struggle for the laws, and it only covers the stages from Core Formation to Nascent Soul.

Constrained by this, Tuo Hao finally achieved the sixth stage of Core Formation, and is now stuck in the mid-stage of Core Formation for over two hundred years.

"Disgusting, unskilled cultivators."

Tuo Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Luo Fanchen, wishing he could pounce on him and crush him to death.

The gathering of the six peak stewards, such a grand display, must be for the Gengjin Cave Heaven. The cave heaven, which the Tuo family had spent countless resources and generations of effort to cultivate, was about to be destroyed by this dead rogue cultivator.

"Brother Tuo, killing one's fellow disciples is a grave crime."

Luo Fanchen raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, not intending to waste words with Tuo Tian, ​​but then he suddenly remembered that he was already a disciple of the Luo Shen Pavilion.

"You really are my good junior brother."

Tuo Tian's face was grim, and he wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks, but Tuo Hao patted his shoulder lightly and said calmly, "Disrespectful behavior in front of the palace, what kind of decorum is this?"

Tuo Tian's lips trembled, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he drooped his head like a deflated chick.

After dealing with the unworthy junior, Tuo Hao smiled and nodded from afar, praising, "Young and promising."

Whether these words were a compliment to Ming Ruoxue or Luo Fanchen was unclear. After speaking, Tuo Hao walked into the Hall of Affairs with his hands behind his back. Several elders who were protecting the Dao stood up and bowed to him when he appeared, and sent someone to offer him a seat.

Tuo Hao nodded in return and calmly took his seat. Only after he was settled did all the other cultivators sit down.

"I need to act as a witness. You stay where you are and wait for me to come back."

Many cultivators and True Immortals took their seats. Ming Ruoxue greeted him and then stepped lightly into the second floor of the steward's room.

The six peak stewards gathered and sat in three tiers around the Tuo family members. The three guardian elders, whose faces were not clearly visible, occupied the main seats. Tuo Tian was the only person on the trial side with a seat, and he was in the middle seat, facing the three elders.

After a while, the interrogation officially began, and many disciples from Duan Nian Peak came to watch, blocking the way completely.

The interrogations conducted in the Deacon Hall are always conducted openly and fairly, and all disciples of the Luoshen Pavilion are welcome to observe.

Luo Fanchen found a corner to observe from afar, and clicked his tongue softly: "What a grand display."

He couldn't hear the voice clearly. From a distance, it seemed that Tuo Hao was debating with the scholars, completely suppressing the elders. It was not Tuo Hao who was being judged, but rather the elders of the deacon's office, who seemed to lack strength.

"The Tuo family has been cultivating the Gengjin Cave Heaven for over a hundred years. Now that the sect is trying to take credit for it, they are naturally feeling guilty."

As Luo Fanchen was puzzled, a fragrant breeze brushed his face, and a clear, playful song, like that of an oriole, rang in his ears.

He turned around hastily, and behind him stood a fairy dressed in a plain white dress with long hair flowing down her shoulders.

Her willow-leaf eyes were bright and gentle, her oval face was delicate, soft and fair as snow, and beneath her high and straight nose were full and symmetrical red lips. She was a girl next door with a mischievous charm, lively and lovely.

"Luo Fanchen, right? My name is Tuo Xixi. The person being tried above is from my Tuo family. Hehe, you should recognize me."

Luo Fanchen was slightly taken aback, then subtly took a few steps back and cupped his hands, saying, "I have long admired Senior Sister's name."

Tuo Xixi is ranked 20th in the inner sect, with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level. He has not successfully comprehended the Xuanzhang Inheritance. His cultivation method is the same as Liu Xia's, the Ice Heart Technique. In terms of cultivation and combat power, he is slightly weaker than Liu Xia, but he had already entered the inner sect three years ago.

Incidentally, there are currently exactly twenty inner disciples of the Luoshen Pavilion.

"You're such a coward~ Hehehe, Senior Brother Zhen went to observe the interrogation, and I—I was bored, so I came to test your secrets."

After saying that, Tuo Xixi winked playfully, covered her mouth and chuckled, "My senior brother is so clumsy. He wanted to whisper something to Senior Sister Ruoxue. I'm here to stall you and buy him some time. You won't be angry, will you?"

"Senior sister is joking."

Luo Fanchen remained wary. He had a very poor impression of the Tuo family. Although the girl in front of him didn't seem very smart, she was capable of cultivating to the Foundation Establishment stage, so she was not to be underestimated.

"You're so far away from me, are you worried about Gengjin Cave Heaven? Hey~ don't be nervous, I'm on your side."

"That dilapidated cave took away 30% of my family's resources for nothing, just for a useless broken sword. Humph! Fine, but why should everyone's hard work in providing the cave give it all to Tuotian?"

Tuo Xixi crossed her arms, pouted and said, "It's good that you've been taken back to the sect. As an inner disciple, I can still go in to cultivate for some time every year. If it were given to that scoundrel Tuo Tian, ​​I wouldn't get to enjoy any of that."

"Cough, Senior Sister is so sensible."

Luo Fanchen was slightly taken aback, and could only return a polite smile.

This young lady from the Tuo family is quite outgoing, but it seems that Tuo Xixi and Tuo Tian don't get along.

Besides Tuo Hao, the patriarch of the third branch of the Tuo family was also a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, having completed four stages of Core Formation, but his lifespan was nearing its end.

It seems that Tuo Xixi was born into the third branch of the family.

"I heard that Tuo Tian got caught because of you?"

Tuo Xixi looked at Luo Fanchen with great curiosity, blinking her almond-shaped eyes and a playful smirk on her lips: "This guy deserves it. The sect leader and the steward's office have been eyeing that Gengjin Cave for a long time, and they finally caught him red-handed."

"Tuotian, using the name of Luoshen Pavilion, forcibly conscripted rogue cultivators and forced them into slavery. Such despicable acts will not be tolerated by the sect."

"How could we not sit idly by? Do you really think the True Persons in the Steward's Office are pushovers? They just turn a blind eye. Tuo Hao sends a lot of precious pills to those True Persons every year. If it weren't for the Tuo family, who would have the guts to forge a sword slave?"

Tuo Xixi shook her head and sneered, looking at Luo Fanchen with an expression as if he were an idiot.

"."

Luo Fanchen opened his mouth silently, unsure whether to respond or not.

This young lady from the Tuo family seems really not very smart to speak ill of the steward in the steward's room. Does she think the steward's divine sense is just for show?

"Hey, I'm on your side in this. If Tuo Tian ever causes you trouble again, just mention my name!"

"Is my senior sister's name useful?"

"It's no use, I can't beat him, but I can ask Senior Brother Zhen for help. He's a gentleman, very capable, and he'll definitely help you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister. I'm taking what belongs to someone else, so I won't trouble you, Senior Brother."

Upon hearing this, Tuo Xixi clenched her fists, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, when Senior Brother heard that Sister Ruoxue got married, he was so depressed that he couldn't eat or drink, and for several nights he would secretly shed little pearls under the covers."

"But don't worry, if he sees injustice, my senior brother will definitely step in!"

Tuo Xixi pursed her lips slightly and sighed in a deliberately profound tone, "My senior brother is the most suitable for the method of forgetting emotions, but unfortunately, he is hard to sever his worldly ties and his family's expectations are too heavy. If it weren't for this, he would surely have been able to resonate with the profound text and achieve the Golden Core."

"Senior Brother Zhen is first in rank, so I am naturally inferior."

"How can you be inferior? You've won now, Senior Sister Ruoxue is marrying you!"

"My senior brother isn't very bright. He insists on liking women who cultivate the Forgetfulness Technique. With his status and cultivation level, he's destined to be out of luck with Senior Sister Ruoxue. But you have a great chance!"

Tuo Xixi covered half of her face with her bare hand and said mysteriously, "Senior Sister Ruoxue has a special physique. Several peak masters have estimated that her chances of successfully resonating are at most 20%, but my senior brother and I both think it's unlikely."

"When your senior sister fails, you'll be the first to benefit. You might even end up taking it all for real."

"Ruoxue will succeed."

Luo Fanchen spoke with certainty, saying that in terms of cultivation talent alone, Ming Ruoxue was the most talented person he had ever seen. Mo Xue was slightly inferior because she started slowly. If even an outstanding fairy like Ruoxue could not resonate with the Xuanzhang, then there was no one in Luoshen Pavilion who could.

How could Xuanzhang find it so difficult to comprehend? When he cultivated the Shaoyang Wood Transformation Technique, it was a natural process; he mastered it in one sleep.

"What good is success if the resonance and compatibility are low? It's like a chicken bone – it leaves you in a dilemma."

Tuo Xixi pouted and clicked her tongue, complaining, "Isn't the purpose of cultivation to be happy and live forever? Why do you insist on cultivating this ruthless path and turning yourself into an ice person? Sigh. Senior Brother Zhen is the same. He has too many thoughts, which makes him feel like he's in shackles and depressed."

"Senior sister sees things very clearly."

"That is!"

Tuo Xixi stretched her waist, waved her storage ring lightly, and two small stools appeared on the ground. She handed one to Luo Fanchen and sat down on her own. A handful of spiritual seeds that looked like sunflower seeds appeared in her hand at some point. She crossed her beautiful legs and started eating them.

"Come on, what are you standing there for? Come watch the show! Hahaha, Tuo Tian has finally met his match!"

The fragrance of the spirit seeds filled the air. Tuo Xixi casually handed a handful to Luo Fanchen, then happily ate some herself.

"Senior Sister Tuo must be quite popular within the sect."

Luo Fanchen stared at the melon seeds in his hand, couldn't help but shake his head slightly with a smile, and simply sat down next to Tuo Xixi.

He was certain that this senior sister was a pampered and well-protected fairy.

It's likely that he's spent many years cultivating within his sect and family, with little contact with the outside world, and his behavior reveals a somewhat dim-witted childlike innocence.

"That's right. Besides me, there are nineteen other senior brothers in the inner sect. I'm on good terms with fifteen of them. As for the outer sect, apart from Liu Xia, whom I can't stand, all the other disciples have to respectfully call me 'senior sister'."

Tuo Xixi kept chewing on spirit seeds like a hamster, and snorted, "That stinky woman is so arrogant, always saying I'm not good enough for an inner disciple. Humph! I'm twentieth in rank, I'm an inner disciple too, that stinky old hag."

Tuo Xixi's small face was wrinkled, and her thin eyebrows were furrowed into small "川" characters, as if she disliked Liu Xia very much.

She once had a power struggle with Liu Xia, but was outmaneuvered and severely beaten. She was ridiculed repeatedly and felt wronged, spending several days hiding under the covers and wiping away tears. From then on, whenever they met, they would avoid this gossipy woman.

"Sigh, never mind. Junior Sister Liu Xia died at the hands of a demonic cultivator. Out of respect for the dead, I forgive her."

"Yes, I've forgiven her too."

Luo Fanchen narrowed his eyes, a sense of caution rising within him. He couldn't fathom Tuo Xixi's intentions. Was it because of Liu Xia's death that she had become suspicious of him?

As it turns out, he was overthinking it; Tuo Xixi was simply jumping from one thought to another.

The girl then went on to complain about those in the sect with whom she didn't get along, including Luo Changhe, who was fifth in the inner sect, Luo Xiyue, who was eleventh, and Gong Qian, who was second.

"These senior brothers and sisters are either arrogant to the heavens or so obsessed as to be insane. I don't like either of them."

At Tuoxi Creek, there are no taboos; he boldly reveals the dirty secrets of several people.

These three inner disciples are all from the four major families, and they all have one thing in common: their physique and spiritual root are derived from others. This junior sister showed disgust as soon as she mentioned it.

"What's not yours to be proud of? The path of heretical cultivation, pshaw~"

Tuo Xixi herself is just an ordinary mid-grade three spiritual root, and has no special physique. If she wanted to, she could ask the ancestor for help and use some tricks and schemes to try and obtain some of the physique's fortune.

For example, Han Chong was a good human pill. If it weren't for Liu Xia's protection, Han Chong would have been kidnapped and disemboweled to refine pills long ago.

"By the way, you also have a True Essence Body, right? Be careful of the Luo family."

"However, you are already Sister Ruoxue's husband, and you are registered under the Luoshen Pavilion, so they don't dare to touch you."

After finishing the last pinch of spirit seeds, Tuo Xixi brushed the crumbs off her hands, stood up, and lazily stretched, saying, "Alright, that's it."

She ate and spat out bits of food, with water-soaked debris all around her.

Luo Fanchen's eyelids twitched slightly. He casually released a few bursts of true energy, gathered the debris, and threw it into his storage bag. Luckily, Tuo Xixi wasn't Mo Xue, otherwise he would have grabbed her by the neck, pressed her against his legs, and spanked her.

"Hey~ Junior brother, even if you don't have enough to eat, you can't pick up the ones I've already eaten. If you like, I can give you a bag."

Tuo Xixi chuckled lightly, her almond-shaped eyes mischievous, but soon she slapped her forehead and sighed.

"Alas, I forgot, you have no divine sense. It's a pity the result is already out, you missed a good show."

"Never mind, I'll just dictate it to you."

Tuo Xixi waved her hand lightly and said in a rambling manner, "Gengjin Cave Heaven has been taken over by Luoshen Pavilion. The Tuo family cultivators have been exiled to the East Sea mines and are not allowed to return for twenty years. Tuo Tian, ​​as an inner disciple, knowingly broke the law, so his crime is doubled." "He will be confined for five years, removed from the order of succession, and publicly flogged twenty times."

Tuo Xixi said gloatingly, "It's a pity you didn't see it. Tuo Tian's back was whipped until it was bloody and his bones were visible. He fainted three times before he was whipped twenty times."

"As for Tuo Hao, he is only at the Core Formation stage, so it can only be considered a case of oversight. In addition, he offered to give the Gengjin Cave Heaven to the sect in exchange for a chance to comprehend the Xuanzhang and form a Core, which can be considered as cleaning up Tuo Tian's mess."

Tuo Xixi sighed softly, her little mouth muttering incessantly.

"How much resources were requisitioned from my third branch? Haha, in the end, all the benefits went to Tuo Tian alone. Sigh, being lucky is just something you can't help."

"This is good news for you too. With Tuo Tian under house arrest, Senior Sister Ruoxue has one less competitor, right?"

"Thank you for telling me, Senior Sister."

Luo Fanchen stood up and cupped his hands in greeting. This junior sister of his had a bit of a gossip and spoke without restraint, but she was still a very nice person.

"Hey, it's nothing. By the way, the inter-regional competition in the Luoshen Pavilion's territory officially starts next month. I'm in charge of part of the Qingyuan Region. Do you want me to give you a few spots?"

"I appreciate your kindness, senior sister."

"That's true. Your Mo Xue could have directly joined the Luo Shen Pavilion, but she was unwilling to submit to Tuo Tian. She must have great ambitions. At least she's qualified for the Heavenly Battle, not the Human Battle."

After finishing her sentence, Tuo Xixi laughed and said, "The competition for the chief will officially begin in three months. Junior brother, if you help me handle the interpersonal battles, I will secretly make an exception for you if you fall into my hands in the future."

"Senior sister just wants to slack off, right?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Tuo Xixi scratched her head, feeling slightly embarrassed. Luo Fanchen sighed softly, realizing he was really not good at dealing with naturally naive girls.

"Tch, if you won't help, then don't. I'll help Senior Brother Zhen in the competition for the chief position. If you fall into my hands, Senior Sister will have to teach you a good lesson."

"Senior Brother Zhen is out! Bye-bye, Junior Brother! I'll send you a wedding gift when you get married!"

Tuo Xixi waved to him and quickly walked forward with small, quick steps. Not far away, Zhen Wuyuan and Ming Ruoxue walked down the second floor one after the other. The former hesitated to speak, his eyes were dim and his head was drooping, while the latter had an unhappy face and walked quickly.

"Senior brother, let's stop here."

"Junior sister, I can ask Father to take back the marriage certificate. Why do you have to degrade yourself like this?"

Ming Ruoxue stopped in her tracks, took out a congratulatory invitation from her storage ring, and handed it to Zhen Wuyuan.

"Senior brother, my husband and I will be getting married in two months. I hope you can be happy for me."

Zhen Wuyuan's fingertips trembled as if he wanted to accept the congratulatory invitation, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, he withdrew as if electrocuted, his face turning red and then pale.

“Senior brother, my husband is no less than you. My affection for him is not a degradation to myself.”

"If my junior sister had not cultivated the path of forgetting emotions, would she still be with me?"

“If I had not cultivated this path, I would only have married my husband.”

Before Zhen Wuyuan could finish speaking, Ming Ruoxue decisively interrupted him. Then, ignoring her senior brother who seemed to have lost his soul, she walked towards Luo Fanchen, took his arm with her slender arms, and exuded the gentle charm of a virtuous wife.

"Senior Brother Zhen, I will take good care of Ruoxue."

Luo Fanchen bowed respectfully and took Ming Ruoxue's soft, cool hand in his.

"I"

Zhen Wuyuan remained silent, his teeth clenched, his heart filled with mixed emotions. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh: "I wish my junior brother a long and happy marriage."

After saying this, his eyes reddened slightly, and he turned and left.

"Hehehe, senior brother is about to cry. Senior sister, do you still have your wedding invitation? Can I have one too?"

Tuo Xixi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and teased, "Senior brother just doesn't have the guts. If it were your husband, he would have grabbed you the moment he handed over the marriage invitation, hahaha~"

Ming Ruoxue gently swayed her head, hooked her index finger and lightly tapped Tuo Xixi's forehead, instructing, "Luo Lang is older than you, you should call him senior brother."

After saying that, Ming Ruoxue took the initiative to hand over a wedding invitation. Tuo Xixi covered her head and groaned, then obediently accepted it.

She dared not be mischievous in front of Senior Sister Ruoxue.

"Oh, senior brother."

Tuo Xixi's eyes darted around mischievously as she realized the weight of Senior Sister Ruoxue's words.

In Senior Sister Ruoxue's eyes, this young man's aptitude and skills are at least no weaker than Senior Brother Zhen's. No, he's only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so she has to call him Senior Brother. His aptitude is definitely superior to Senior Brother Zhen's.

"Senior Brother Luo has five spiritual roots, right?"

“That’s right. In the cultivation world, those who are skilled are the most important. Fairy Xixi’s cultivation is far superior to mine, so it is only right that I call you senior sister.”

"Hey, I was fed with spiritual herbs and precious pills. I can't even beat Liu Xia. I know my own limitations."

Tuo Xixi waved her hand dismissively, then placed her hands on her lower abdomen and respectfully performed a curtsy, saying sweetly.

"Senior Brother Luo, your junior sister greets you~"

The combination of the five spiritual roots, the true essence body, and being a rogue cultivator almost completely cuts off the path to immortality.

This Senior Brother Luo was able to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of thirty, which is already a remarkable achievement. Moreover, he is highly regarded by Senior Sister. His True Essence Body is probably among the immortal bodies.

If Senior Sister Ruoxue's clan has a method to assist in foundation building, this senior brother will catch up very quickly.

Today, Senior Sister Ruoxue used this opportunity to help her form a good relationship, and she might receive some protection in the future.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister! I'll be at your wedding with Senior Brother Zhen!"

Tuo Xixi waved goodbye, and before leaving, she stuffed a bag of spirit seeds into Luo Fanchen's hand, winked at him, and turned to chase after Senior Brother Zhen.

"Senior brother, don't cry, it's so embarrassing."

"Hey, I've already tested you. Senior brother, you have no chance. Give up."

With the teasing and joking voice of Tuo Xixi still lingering in his ears, Luo Fanchen couldn't help but chuckle. Ming Ruoxue gently swayed her fair chin and said helplessly.

"Xi Xi has lived in the sect for a long time and is deeply loved by her founder. She has never gone out to try her skills and still has some childlike qualities."

"However, he is a very good person, pure-hearted, open-minded and insightful, just a little not very smart."

"really."

Luo Fanchen lightly weighed the heavy spirit seed bag in his hand and nodded in agreement.

Although he disliked the Tuo family, he had a fair impression of this young lady, except that she was so overly familiar that it was hard to handle her, and she seemed unreliable.

“Xi Xi is quite favored in the Tuo family. If you befriend her, she will inform you immediately if there are any unusual developments in the Tuo family.”

"How could that be? She's a direct descendant of the Tuo family, would she side with outsiders?"

"The ancestor of the Xixi lineage is nearing the end of his life. In recent years, the third branch has declined and lost most of its resources. The rifts within the clan are difficult to reconcile. She is eager for the Tuotian lineage to decline."

Ming Ruoxue's blue eyes remained calm as she led Luo Fanchen away from the sect, saying helplessly, "I originally planned to take you to the treasure vault to retrieve the treasure today, but unfortunately, a conflict is about to break out, and Master has received an imperial edict to discuss the conflict with the Dao Sect."

"Master may need to return two months later. After she returns and examines you, she will personally lead you to retrieve the treasure."

"It's alright, I don't lack magical treasures for the time being."

Luo Fanchen expressed his understanding. He wasn't in a hurry, since it was a promise made by Master Tuo Yuanxi himself, and he couldn't possibly go back on his word.

After a while, the two rode away on cranes and returned to the spirit ship.

Ming Ruoxue greeted Luo Fanchen, then took a Cleansing Heart Pill and returned to her core to cultivate. Before parting, she instructed, "It will probably take seven days to fly to the Ming family. You can make preparations in advance, as my elders are a bit old-fashioned."

"Miaoyun has boarded the ship and is staying next to you. You can catch up with her in peace. I will be in seclusion for seven days and will not disturb you."

After saying this, Ming Ruoxue gracefully departed, leaving behind only her beautiful silhouette.

"Miaoyun and Qiuyun have arrived."

Luo Fanchen's eyes brightened slightly, and he eagerly headed towards the fighting arena, following the aura.

On the central fighting platform, Mo Xue's sword dance was graceful and she was covered in sweat. Beside her, Li Miaoyun pointed her index finger to her lips and gave her guidance on the flow of energy for the Golden Wind Technique. After the two sensed Luo Fanchen's aura, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Master Luo, you're back!"

Mo Xue sheathed her sword, waved to Master Luo with a smile, and took small, quick steps, like a swallow trying to fly into Luo Fanchen's arms.

"I am relieved that you are safe and sound, sir."

Li Miaoyun's fox-like eyes sparkled with spring water, a gentle smile playing on her lips. She took light steps forward, her lotus-like arms naturally encircling Luo Fanchen's arm. Her ample, soft breasts pressed against the back of his hand, and she pouted, tiptoed, and lightly touched his lips.

The process was so smooth and seamless that Mo Xue thought she was hallucinating.

"Hmm? Did Master Luo just kiss Master Luo?"

Mo Xue rubbed her eye sockets blankly, then her pupils dilated slightly as she stared at the two intimately close people. The unease that lingered in her heart intensified, as if an invisible giant hand was gripping her heart, making it hard to breathe.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, and her face flushed red at a visible speed.

“Hiss. Ha. Ha.”

Mo Xue breathed heavily, her flat chest heaving. She watched as Li Miaoyun nestled in Luo Ye's arms, resting her head on his shoulder and kissing his cheek until they shared another light kiss, their affection for each other evident.

Her ears were ringing, and she felt her blood rushing to her head, as if the world was spinning.

Why should she be intimate with Master Luo, given that her cheap master is so close to him?
"I lost? Why? How could I lose with such a huge advantage?"

Mo Xue muttered silently as if possessed. Even if she was slow to realize, she could tell that Li Miaoyun and Master Luo had already established a relationship.

"Mo Xue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Miaoyun's pretty face froze slightly. Seeing Mo Xue's face as red as a red-hot iron, she gently patted Mo Xue's face with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"secretly."

"Ok?"

Li Miaoyun tilted her head, her pretty face showing confusion.

"You thieving cat! Waaah—I treated you like my master, you, you, you..."

Mo Xue's eyes were red and swollen, and tears fell like broken pearls. She covered her face with her bare hands, overwhelmed by the intense frustration and bitterness that felt like her heart was breaking.

Despite all precautions, he managed to sneak out of the game and outperform Qiu Yun. After studying her for half a month, he was ready to win over Ming Ruoxue.

Despite having a huge advantage, they never expected that the least threatening old gossip would steal their home.

Doesn't Master Luo like young girls? What a joke. She hasn't even tasted Master Luo's lips!
"Mo Xue, you..."

"Don't call me Mo Xue! Our master-disciple relationship is over. From now on, you are my number one enemy! Waaaaah!"

Mo Xue wiped the small pearls with the back of her hand. In her eyes, Li Miaoyun was giving them away as a victor.

She felt defeated and wanted to yell at Li Miaoyun, but her throat seemed to be gripped, and she couldn't open her mouth.

The intense mental shock made her dizzy and disoriented. Unable to bear it any longer, she covered her face and ran back to the attic crying.

"Trouble"

Luo Fanchen smiled wryly and was about to catch up when Qiu Yun's soul appeared and apologized to him and Li Miaoyun, "Sister, she can't recover for a while. I'll go and persuade her. It's okay."

"Uncle Luo, my sister and I will always stand by your side."

Qiu Yun's pretty face was complicated. She seemed to want to force a gentle smile, but in the end, she could only manage a bitter smile.

She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart; in front of Li Miaoyun, both she and her sister were losers.
