“What are you doing?” Li Qingqing stood in front of Zhu Yuexi, blocking the entrance to the meeting room.
“I’m going in to find my master.” Zhu Yuexi had never given Li Qingqing a kind look.
“Right now, the master is discussing important matters with Sect Leader Mo. It’s not appropriate for you to enter.” Li Qingqing refused bluntly.
At this moment, Li Qingqing was fully aware of every move happening inside the room.
She knew this was part of Xu Sheng’s plan, and even though she felt reluctant in her heart, she naturally stood unconditionally on Xu Sheng’s side.
Zhu Yuexi clicked her tongue. If she had to say there was something important, it wasn’t entirely true.
But after returning to her room, due to the poison, Zhu Yuexi now found it easy to lose focus during cultivation.
Moreover, with Xu Sheng treating her like that yesterday and seeming to ignore her today,
Zhu Yuexi felt as if she had overlooked something…
If Xu Sheng and her master were really discussing something urgent, Zhu Yuexi wouldn’t question disturbing them.
But what infuriated Zhu Yuexi was that the person blocking her now was Li Qingqing.
This traitor of the Linxian Sect. What right did she have to order her around now?
“Then what if I insist on going in?”
“Then naturally I wouldn’t really stop Saint Zhu. But if you do go in and disturb them, I don’t know if Sect Leader Mo will blame you, but Valley Lord Xu will definitely be angry.”
This warning from Li Qingqing, especially the latter half, was actually quite thought-provoking.
Generally, in such sentence structures, the harsher punishment is placed at the end.
For Li Qingqing, Xu Sheng’s punishment was naturally more severe.
But at this moment, she was speaking to Zhu Yuexi.
The most reasonable reaction for Zhu Yuexi would be to roll her eyes and say, “My master won’t be mad at me, so why would I be afraid of a wretched Xu Sheng?” and then forcefully push the door open and enter.
But Zhu Yuexi’s reaction was to freeze in place, shooting a sharp glare at Li Qingqing, but not actually insisting on barging in.
In her subconscious, she had actually long cared more about Xu Sheng’s opinion.
By testing Zhu Yuexi’s reaction with a single sentence, Li Qingqing had roughly understood the progress of Xu Sheng’s conquest of Zhu Yuexi.
Although she was indeed a bit jealous.
But Li Qingqing was somewhat looking forward to seeing how things would continue to develop.
She wondered how spectacular the day would be when all the lies were exposed and the master and disciple confronted each other.
… Xu Sheng couldn’t exactly monitor every move outside, but for safety reasons, he had a general idea of what was happening at the door.
He never did anything without being sure of it.
Just like when he was only separated from Mo Ruxue by a folding screen, he had dared to be so intimate with Zhu Yuexi, even feeding her medicine.
It wasn’t because Xu Sheng was bold enough to gamble that Mo Ruxue wouldn’t come directly over.
Rather, it was because Xu Sheng had the ability to control the situation.
He could guarantee that he would settle everything one second before Mo Ruxue saw the truth.
And the same situation applied now.
With only a door separating Xu Sheng and Zhu Yuexi, yet he was being so intimate with Mo Ruxue.
The fundamental reason was that Xu Sheng could completely control the situation.
All the tension was a trap fabricated by Xu Sheng to stimulate the other party.
Mo Ruxue’s spiritual sense was powerful, and under Xu Sheng’s deliberate guidance, she naturally heard the conversation outside the door.
At this moment, Mo Ruxue couldn’t detect certain details reflected in Li Qingqing’s warning.
She only knew that her disciple was just outside the door, and had almost come in.
What Xu Sheng said earlier was correct.
What mattered most to Mo Ruxue was not her cultivation, nor the Linxian Sect.
Rather, it was the Mo Ruxue who possessed qualities that so many people believed in.
Rather, it was the Mo Ruxue who possessed qualities that so many people believed in.
She was Zhu Yuexi’s master, and in Yuexi’s eyes, she was naturally the unwavering righteous path.
But her master in her heart, now separated only by a door, was actually engaging in such debauchery with a Demon Cult Leader like Xu Sheng.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Yuexi.
Yuexi was still young, pure in heart, just too spoiled at times.
If she found out about this, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
And she… couldn’t bear the look in Yuexi’s eyes at that moment either.
So when she heard Zhu Yuexi wanting to come straight in, and Li Qingqing’s attitude wasn’t firm, Mo Ruxue’s heart was in her throat.
Given Zhu Yuexi’s personality and her conflict with Li Qingqing, she might very well have barged in directly.
If Zhu Yuexi saw this scene, Mo Ruxue feared she would never know how to face her for the rest of her life.
But… while Mo Ruxue was on tenterhooks, the sensation brought by this thrill unconsciously made her body go even softer, and more tea spilled on the floor…
Xu Sheng released Mo Ruxue. Not his hand.
The two finally had a chance to catch their breath. Mo Ruxue could feel the lingering thread when their lips parted, and she buried her head in Xu Sheng’s chest, not daring to meet his eyes.
At this moment, she was as shy and delicate as a newlywed young wife.
Calling it a halftime break, Xu Sheng only intended to let Mo Ruxue’s mouth rest for a bit, but as for the rest… Whether it was her body… Xu Sheng’s hands didn’t stop. Or her mind… Xu Sheng continued speaking:
“Have you noticed?”
“Noti… noticed what?”
Xu Sheng leaned close to Mo Ruxue’s ear. Hearing his tone, Mo Ruxue could even imagine how the corners of his mouth were curling up at that moment.
“Notice… that when your disciple was about to barge in, you became more aroused?”
!!! Mo Ruxue almost sprang up from Xu Sheng’s embrace, but as if he had anticipated it, while one hand was “controlling the situation,” his other hand pressed down on her shoulder from behind.
Mo Ruxue had no way to break free, or rather, her body was already weak at that moment.
Xu Sheng still leaned close to her ear: “See… after I called you out, you got even more excited.”
“Nonsense…” At this moment, Mo Ruxue seemed somewhat lacking in confidence. “Where do you see that from?”
“From your reaction, of course.” Xu Sheng leaned back a little, staring at Mo Ruxue’s face, scrutinizing it carefully.
“Just now, when your disciple was about to barge in, you were more aroused. Now that I’ve called you out, you’re both doubting yourself and aroused.”
Mo Ruxue was indeed doubting herself, but precisely because of that self-doubt, she couldn’t determine her true feelings, nor whether Xu Sheng’s words were true.
She only knew she couldn’t admit it.
“How could that be… I absolutely did not.”
“I do have a method to find out whether Immortal Maiden Mo is actually aroused or not.”
“What method…”
Xu Sheng had been steering the conversation, and the topic was so sensitive that Mo Ruxue even forgot that Xu Sheng’s hand was still “controlling” her.
The next second, Xu Sheng finally let go, but Mo Ruxue inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
“Immortal Maiden Mo should know that there is one place on a woman’s body that reacts most instinctively. If you test that place, a woman can’t lie.”
“What place…”
Xu Sheng suddenly remembered a saying he had seen in his past life.
Human Radar Detection Method… wherever you go and there’s a change, that’s where someone is.
Similarly, whenever there’s a change, you’re definitely more aroused. …
