Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 125 Seclusion, Master... Junior Brother is begging you.

Mu Qianxue's gaze lingered on Su Jiu'er, her heart filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Especially upon seeing the little fox, all traces of the seriousness he displayed when he made the promise in the secret realm vanished.

She couldn't help but become increasingly worried.

"Huh?"

Su Jiu'er felt that gaze and belatedly raised her eyes.

"!"

'

Meeting Mu Qianxue's cold, icy gaze, she was so startled that she almost jumped out of Pei Wanyun's arms.

With just one look, she snapped out of her reverie.

It's over! It's over!

How did she actually start enjoying it!

She was caught red-handed by Mu Qianxue; how was she supposed to explain this?

"Qianxue?"

Seeing her disciple lost in thought, Pei Wanyun called out softly.

"Um."

Mu Qianxue also withdrew her gaze at the right time, not focusing too much on the little fox.

What's wrong with you?

Her tone was calm as usual: "Your disciple is just suddenly a little worried."

"Hmm? You're worried?"

Pei Wanyun was puzzled.

She could naturally guess why the other party was worried.

Adding the word "suddenly" changes the meaning.

"What are you worried about?"

Pei Wanyun asked gently.

"However, if you are really worried, you can wait until you have rested before going into seclusion. There is no rush."

"If this affects one's mind and causes one to go astray, that would be terrible."

Ke Muxianxue remained silent and did not answer.

Because she really didn't know how to bring it up.

You can't exactly say, "What I'm worried about is that you might steal my husband away while I'm in seclusion," can you?

You can't exactly say, "I'm even more worried about this seemingly unreliable little fox in my arms," ​​can you?

."

Thinking of this, her gaze fell once again on the little fox in her master's arms.

The other person was being touched, their expression a mixture of enjoyment, guilt, and a desire to escape—

This looks extremely strange.

Especially when she noticed her gaze, Su Jiu'er shrank even closer into Pei Wanyun's arms.

Seeing that her disciple was hesitant to speak, Pei Wanyun continued for her, "Are you worried about your junior brother?"

"Um.

Mu Qianxue did not deny it and nodded.

At the same time, he remained calm and added, "He has just returned from the secret realm, and his temperament and cultivation are not yet fully stable."

"You silly child."

Pei Wanyun saw through it but didn't say anything, shaking her head with a smile: "You always worry about everything."

"Whether it's Lian Shu or everything on this peak, with your master here, you can rest assured."

She spoke softly, with the air of someone who had been through it all: "Since you've decided to go into seclusion, don't let external things hold you back."

"Just relax and go into seclusion."

'

Mu Qianxue raised her eyes again to look at her master.

Those phoenix eyes were gentle and smiling, full of the warmth and care of a teacher, showing no sign of anything unusual.

But the more she did this, the more uneasy she felt.

"Master—"

She was about to speak, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally said calmly, "Disciple understands."

"Then I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now."

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Having made up her mind, she would never change it unless something drastic happened.

Mu Qianxue then turned to leave.

"Let me see you off."

""

Pei Wanyun spoke softly.

The other party did not refuse.

"--good."

As soon as the two left Yunxin Palace, Pei Wanyun subconsciously looked towards the side hall and asked softly, "Should we call your junior brother?"

"No need."

Mu Qianxue gently shook her head.

"He's still resting, so we won't disturb him."

"Alright."

Pei Wanyun did not persist.

After all, it was my disciple's own choice.

Since the other party chose not to call out, she must have her reasons.

The two walked side by side in silence.

The surrounding scenery became familiar and quiet, and Mu Qianxue tried her best to clear her mind.

After walking for a long time, Pei Wanyun finally spoke softly, breaking the silence: "Qianxue."

"Um?"

Mu Qianxue responded.

Pei Wanyun seemed to be recalling: "I still remember what you looked like when you first came to Jade Spirit Peak."

She paused slightly, then gently gestured to her disciple's height back then: "You were only this tall back then, a small girl, carrying a long sword, aloof and quiet."

"."

""

Mu Qianxue did not speak, nor did she interrupt her master's recollection.

At the same time, I was also thinking back to myself back then.

Pei Wanyun kept nagging: "In the blink of an eye, you're about to break through again."

She sighed softly, her voice full of satisfaction: "Over the years, what I am most proud of is having you as my disciple."

"Intelligent, hardworking, resilient, and humble."

"Master, you flatter me."

"7

Mu Qianxue spoke softly and modestly.

"It's not an overstatement."

Pei Wanyun shook her head, her tone exceptionally serious: "That's just how it is. Over the years—I've seen it all."

Suddenly, she stopped.

"?"

Mu Qianxue was a step too slow and could only look back at her master.

Pei Wanyun looked at her, her gaze tender yet complex: "Qianxue, remember this."

"No matter what, I always hope you are the best."

Even if—

She paused, her tone tinged with apology and even a hint of guilt: "Even if there are things I haven't done well, I never meant to upset you."

"It's not that I intentionally want to compete with you."

Before her disciple could respond, Pei Wanyun seemed to have lost her composure and quickly walked past her, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Let's go."

Mu Qianxue did not answer and silently followed.

No one knows what she is thinking at this moment, not even herself.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, I rode my sword.

The Jade Jade Sect has a special place for its disciples to cultivate in seclusion, called "Quiet Heart Valley".

The place is rich in spiritual energy and has a tranquil environment. There are special magic arrays to protect those in seclusion from external interference.

Elders and disciples also take turns guarding the area to ensure its safety.

To get from Jade Spirit Peak to Tranquil Valley, one must pass through most of the inner gate.

Until the Valley of Tranquility becomes faintly visible.

Because of a no-fly zone in the vicinity, the two landed some distance away.

We walked for a while longer.

"That's enough for now."

The secluded retreat place of Jingxin Valley was just ahead, so Pei Wanyun decided not to follow any further.

"Thank you for seeing me off, Master."

Mu Qianxue remained as respectful as ever.

The other party smiled helplessly: "Why are you being so polite with your master?"

She reached out and straightened her disciple's clothes: "Then I'll be going now."

"When you come out, your master and your junior brother will come to pick you up."

"it is good."

Mu Qianxue responded and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he stopped again.

"Master."

"Um?"

"My junior brother—I'm begging you."

He spoke with extreme restraint, and his tone remained as calm as possible.

But the clenched hand beneath her sleeve betrayed her emotions.

"Um."

Pei Wanyun responded softly.

Mu Qianxue took one last, deep look at Su Jiu'er in her master's arms.

In my heart, there is only one silent prayer:

Hopefully, this little guy will live up to her expectations and not disappoint her.

After that, she never looked back and resolutely walked into the Valley of Tranquility, step by step.

But what she didn't know was the little one to whom she placed all her hopes and entrusted everything.

Before the war officially began.

He had already completely given up and was now completely captivated by Pei Wanyun's caresses.

They were completely outmatched by the opposing team.
