Brother, how come you're a witch?

"Shuang'er, don't look down and play with Fetion while I'm lecturing."

The master's slightly reproachful voice came from the side front.

"yes......"

Liu Baishuang responded softly, stuck out her tongue, and put away the jade token with the three characters "Li Changsheng" engraved on the side.

She sat up straight, suppressed the extra expression on her face, and continued to play the role of a friendly, serious, and perfect new genius girl in everyone's eyes.

Xu Qinglan, a permanent council elder of the Xuanqing Sect, frowned, watching his only personal disciple put on airs, and continued to reprimand him:

"Today's discussion on purifying the mind and entering the Tao is fundamental to cultivation, yet few can do it well. Only by purifying the mind, calming the mind, and freeing it from distractions can one clearly see the Great Tao."

"Although you won the match just now, you had too many distracting thoughts when you drew your sword. You could have won faster and more decisively, but you were dragged down by your heavy mind."

"What are you thinking about during a sword fight?"

Liu Baishuang's eyes flickered for a moment: "This disciple wasn't thinking anything."

"Shuang'er, you are only eighteen years old, while I am already hundreds of years old. I have had those thoughts of yours before, and you can't hide them from me."

Xu Qinglan sighed softly:

"You've been checking Fetion more often these past two months. That behavior just now was probably something you wanted to impress the person on the other end of Fetion, wasn't it?"

"What, what are you saying, Master?"

"There's no need to lie. I just want to tell you that the higher a cultivator's level, the longer their lifespan. In the future, you will have plenty of time to experience the seven emotions and six desires. Right now, you should focus your attention on cultivation."

Xu Qinglan gently raised her hand, stopping Liu Baishuang from trying to argue:

"I don't know which elder's disciple from which peak won your favor, and I won't press you for details, but I want you to break it off with him after class today."

"No romantic relationships are allowed before forming a Nascent Soul."

"Starting tomorrow, I don't want to see you looking so troubled anymore."

Liu Baishuang shrank her neck and responded softly, "Oh."

She has indeed been restless for the past two months, but not because of early romance.

It was because of the jade tablet with the words "Li Changsheng" written on it, and the outer disciple with five spiritual roots on the other end of the tablet—Su Yan.

A true immortal from a thousand years in the future.

The incident began six months ago when Liu Baishuang found this jade communication pendant.

The jade pendant for transmitting messages is a relatively new item and a rare and expensive artifact. It can only be used for one-on-one communication, so unless it's for a very important person or matter, no one would buy it. The owner who lost it must be very anxious.

Liu Baishuang, always eager to help others, searched through the entire sect's disciple roster but couldn't find a disciple named Li Changsheng. She sent him a message but received no reply, so she had no choice but to put the jade token in her storage bag and carry it with her.

Until two months ago, the jade pendant suddenly lit up and sent a message:

"Brother Li, don't you think the world-destroying demoness Liu Baishuang was quite cute when she was little?"

Who?

A vixen? Cute?

me?

Liu Baishuang stared at the message on the jade pendant, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

"World-destroying demon woman"—that's definitely not a good word... Liu Baishuang remained calm and composed, pretending to be "Li Changsheng" as she cautiously replied to test the waters.

Over the past two months, by selling "private information about an in-depth investigation into the demoness Liu Baishuang," he has gained her full trust and obtained a lot of shocking information.

In the future, she became a world-destroying demon woman, almost destroying the cultivation world. True Immortal Su Yan traveled back in time just to stop it all.

Approach her, teach her, prevent her from contacting the Heavenly Demon, and kill her if necessary.

Liu Baishuang lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

The people of the future shouldn't have sent such a soft-hearted person. If she were in charge, she would have killed the still weak threat without hesitation.

just now.

She already knew Su Yan's purpose completely, and had dug out almost all the information she could.

She intends to end it all tonight.

Kill Su Yan.

Liu Baishuang was not prepared to accept the guidance of this future true immortal, and avoided contact with the Heavenly Demon, thus avoiding the path of becoming a demoness.

Because she herself is a celestial demon.

Half of her blood is that of a celestial demon.

Once this secret is discovered, Liu Baishuang is certain that she will be the enemy of the world, and this guy who claims to want to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in her heart will definitely kill her without hesitation.

In order to protect herself, Liu Baishuang had to kill Su Yan first.

But it must be kept secret, because the real Li Changsheng is still missing and may be watching her every move in the dark.

Tonight's Xiaozhu Peak is a stage she meticulously designed, a stage capable of creating an "accidental death".

"Ahem, that concludes today's discussion. Jiang Changming, please come to the Office Hall later."

Elder Lundao coughed twice and began tidying up the scriptures on the table.

The disciples from various sects who were listening to the lecture stood up one after another, stretched or cast pitying glances at Jiang Changming, and then left the Dao Discussion Square in twos and threes.

Liu Baishuang raised her eyes, her gaze passing through the bustling crowd and landing on the backs of Su Yan and Ye Jingqiu, who were closely following him.

He claimed he was there to teach me, but he spent every day with Ye Jingqiu.

It's been two months, and he hasn't said a single word to me!

......

"Fellow Daoist Ye Jingqiu, I am now returning to the outer sect male disciples' residence."

"Um."

"What are you humming about...?"

"I heard you."

Ye Jingqiu blinked lightly:

"Go ahead."

"I'm begging you, please stop following me. Do you know how much noise you've caused every time you come back to my place these past few days?"

"No, maybe you're the type who doesn't listen in class but secretly studies hard back in the dorm. I can't miss you practicing your sword."

"Then what do you mean by following me to the bathroom?"

"What if you unleash that sword energy while you're taking a shower?"

"Who practices swordsmanship while taking a shower?!"

"I."

Ye Jingqiu was very serious.

Su Yan's lips twitched; all he wanted to say to this sword-obsessed girl was, "You're different from others."

"No, the authoritative journal 'Taoist Law and Nature' has conducted a survey that shows people are more likely to relax and show their true selves when taking a bath. Even people who are usually shy about singing may open their voices. Therefore, we can judge whether a person is likely to fall into the demonic path by observing their state while taking a bath, and even determine the specific form of their inner demons," Ye Jingqiu said.

I hate academic papers! If you're in the cultivation world, just focus on cultivating immortality, why are you doing scientific research!

Su Yan rubbed his forehead:

"Then you have to give me some personal space. I'm a young and energetic man, and at least I can't have anyone watching me when I take a shower."

"So you really do practice your swordplay while taking a shower!"

"I need to let loose. You've been following me for over a month, and I'm really feeling pent up!" Su Yan said, going all out.

"Use what to release it with, a sword?" Ye Jingqiu narrowed his eyes.

"Of course it's this one, what else would it be?"

Su Yan stretched out his right hand and waved it:

"If Fellow Daoist Ye Jingqiu insists on coming tonight, he can take on this responsibility in his place."

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback, and her usually icy face quickly flushed red.

"I...I understand. I won't go to your shower today."

"That's more like it."

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a rare moment of relaxation after more than a month:

"By the way, I plan to take a bath at midnight today, and it will last for two hours."

"Does it take that long?"

"I'm the kind of person who's quite persistent."

Su Yan waved his hand, turned and left amidst the dazed gaze of the sword-obsessed girl, leaving behind a back view that he felt was full of stories.
