Xu Sheng played the game of feigned indifference very well.
If it were possible, Xu Sheng could have directly had Mo Ruxue practice what she saw in the picture book last night this very afternoon and even given her guidance.
But instead, Xu Sheng left after dropping words that were enough to move Mo Ruxue, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
Be yourself.
The Mo Ruxue that the public sees, or perhaps the real Mo Ruxue, is the Mo Ruxue in Mo Ruxue’s own heart.
And another true Mo Ruxue, compared to the saint-like Mo Ruxue, is a Mo Ruxue with more of a living person’s feeling…
Mo Ruxue sat still in the dining room, slowly chewing over the content of those words.
She only had a world akin to a utopia in her heart; she did not actually live in a perfect world.
The frequency of traitors within the Linxian Sect was enough to illustrate this point.
Therefore, she had naturally seen many things she considered “base” or “despicable.”
It wasn’t that she had no friends; naturally, she had also heard many “boudoir amusing stories.”
When she heard these things back then, Mo Ruxue only felt her face redden, but she never thought others were despicable.
But when these things happened to herself, where did the guilt come from?
Setting aside Xu Sheng’s identity…
It seemed there would still be a sense of guilt.
Be yourself…
Mo Ruxue, sitting in the dining room, froze for a long time.
The spiritual energy around her seemed to enter an extremely mysterious state, and the spiritual energy of the entire Peach Blossom Spring began to converge toward Mo Ruxue.
…
In the adjacent Quiet Chamber, Xu Sheng took a sip of tea and looked quite satisfied in the direction of the dining room.
Li Qingqing was standing beside Xu Sheng, seeming to face everything without changing expression.
“Don’t you think Mo Ruxue might directly break through to the Tenth Realm? Then I won’t be able to control her.”
Li Qingqing showed no surprise upon hearing this.
“With Lord’s guidance, breaking through to the Tenth Realm is no difficult task. If Sect Leader Mo truly breaks through to the Tenth Realm, then Lord will just break through as well.”
Xu Sheng didn’t find such flattery particularly pleasing, but Li Qingqing’s attitude of absolute trust in him was very satisfying to Xu Sheng.
He reached out his hand.
Smack!
Li Qingqing clearly hadn’t expected Xu Sheng to do such an action.
Even someone as unflappable as her was clearly surprised, but she only bit her lip, her facial expression barely changing.
Xu Sheng pulled Li Qingqing into his arms in one motion, making her sit sideways on his thigh.
Although Li Qingqing didn’t have the mature womanly aura of Mo Ruxue, she was plumper than Zhu Yuexi.
At this moment, sitting on Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng only felt her softness.
Just as Xu Sheng was about to say something, the door of the Quiet Chamber was suddenly pushed open.
If it had been an ordinary time, with his cultivation, Xu Sheng would naturally have detected something unusual at the door long before.
But now, when Mo Ruxue was about to break through in cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy was out of control, and without using technology, Xu Sheng indeed found it hard to detect the anomaly outside the door.
It was Zhu Yuexi.
And upon pushing open the door, seeing Li Qingqing sitting on Xu Sheng’s lap, Zhu Yuexi froze on the spot.
In fact, Xu Sheng kind of wanted to complain.
‘Bro, what’s the relationship between you and me… At most, we’re just friends with benefits. You have a face of indignation and disbelief… makes it seem like I cuckolded you.’
Xu Sheng’s skin was thick enough, and Li Qingqing remained calm as ever.
Seeing the two who completely ignored her, the nameless fire in Zhu Yuexi’s heart grew stronger.
“What happened to my master!”
Hearing this almost accusatory tone, before Xu Sheng could react, Li Qingqing had already furrowed her brows.
Then Xu Sheng answered calmly:
“She’s been guided by me a bit. Now her cultivation seems to be progressing. What’s wrong?”
The reason Zhu Yuexi suddenly came to find Xu Sheng was because of Mo Ruxue.
She could sense the strangeness of the surrounding spiritual energy, and she could feel that the center of this strangeness was her own master.
And Zhu Yuexi, somewhat worried in her heart, the first thing she thought of when uncertain was to find Xu Sheng.
But upon pushing open the door, it was a pair of depraved dogs and bitches in broad daylight…
“Guided by you?” Zhu Yuexi’s tone was full of disdain.
Perhaps before, Zhu Yuexi wouldn’t have had such an attitude, but now, this pair of shameless dogs, even after seeing her, were still holding each other like that…
‘Still not letting go!’
Xu Sheng didn’t know what Zhu Yuexi was thinking inside, but he saw a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
He even deliberately extended his hand and wrapped it around Li Qingqing’s entire slender waist.
“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Mo Ruxue. This state of hers will probably last seven days. After seven days, just ask her directly.”
As he spoke, Xu Sheng placed his other hand on Li Qingqing’s thigh. He looked at Zhu Yuexi with some confusion.
“What? Your master is about to break through, and you seem quite unhappy.”
“I’m unhappy because you’re taking all the credit for yourself!”
“I thought you were unhappy because I have Li Qingqing in my arms.”
Xu Sheng’s words came one after another. At this point, even Li Qingqing had a hint of blush upon hearing this.
Zhu Yuexi took a deep breath and let out a cold snort.
“Indecent…”
“This is indecent?” Xu Sheng showed a look of recollection on his face. “Then what was that thing you did a couple of days ago, Fairy Zhu?”
Upon hearing Xu Sheng’s words, Zhu Yuexi naturally knew what he was referring to.
Immediately, her cheeks flushed red, and she took two steps back.
“Bastard…”
“Stop.” Xu Sheng raised his hand. “I don’t have time to play these little games with you right now. I’m busy. Can’t you see that?”
Xu Sheng’s hand patted again.
Li Qingqing also cooperatively twisted on Xu Sheng’s body.
A nameless rage grew stronger and stronger in Zhu Yuexi’s heart, almost about to explode on the spot.
And Xu Sheng, as a Temperature Control Master, would naturally lower her temperature at this moment.
But not in a gentle way.
“You’re not jealous, are you?” Xu Sheng wore a look of disdain. If he had to say it… it was like an expression of disgust.
Zhu Yuexi froze. The fire that had just been kindled was immediately suppressed, replaced by another kind of anger.
“How could I… How is that possible… You bastard, what are you saying…”
“I know it’s impossible too. Alright, since you can’t be jealous, you can leave. Remember to close the door. Thanks.”
“…”
…
This anger came inexplicably, and the blockage was also inexplicable.
Zhu Yuexi had no chance to vent it before being completely suppressed by Xu Sheng.
In the last second before the door closed.
Zhu Yuexi even saw Xu Sheng’s hand reach under the hem of Li Qingqing’s clothes…
‘Shameless man and woman!’
In Zhu Yuexi’s heart, there was no way to vent her anger.
It was blocked in her chest. Perhaps there were other reasons as well.
Gradually, she couldn’t breathe.
While her chest was stuffy, there was also a sourness in the tip of her nose.
Standing at the door, she vaguely seemed to hear sounds from inside the room…
Her nails almost dug into her palm. She bit her lip hard, and finally pressed her ear against the door.
