behind their backs, they would have clamped their mouths shut long ago. They had finally become inner disciples, but now they were back to being outer disciples. That was even more unbearable than be...The rabbit that had originally been at the mouth of the cave didn't know when it had run in. It opened its pair of innocent red eyes and stared at them, as if it had seen everything that had just happened.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a little guilty and shifted her gaze away.

He calmed his racing heart, telling himself that their earlier assistance was simply a matter of necessity. Yet he couldn't help but think about the sensation from before, his hand gradually warming up.

Ning Shu didn't want to think too much, he found a place to sit down. At this time, the cave was silent, but he started to think wildly.

Zhou Wuchang said, Yuan Yang is very important for cultivators. But just now, he had already leaked his Yuan Yang, wouldn't there be any major problems...

Ning Shu's heart would ache just thinking about anything that might affect her cultivation.

"What are you thinking about"

Cang Ming came over at some point, his light-colored eyes staring at him, expression cold and indifferent. He seemed unaware of his suffering and troubles.

Ning Shu thought, demonic beasts probably don't care about these things, but... he was just a newly inducted disciple. To leak his yang energy so quickly wasn't just something he minded; if Master found out, he would probably think he was... extremely dissolute.

So he opened his mouth and poured out all his worries.

Although Cang Ming heard this, he did not refute it.

"Yuanyang is indeed rare for cultivators."

He said nonchalantly, “But it’s not something that has to be held onto rigidly.”

There are many ways to increase one's cultivation, so there is no need to worry about it.

"You don't understand..." Ning Shu was bewildered. He had been influenced by Cang Ming's words, feeling a bit downcast now. He had come to this secret realm originally to showcase himself, to train and prove himself worthy of Si Kong Heng Yu's expectations.

But now, he can't do anything. He nearly lost his life, and now even Yuanyang has leaked.

"You care so much about that Yuanyang, is it because you feel it hinders your cultivation" Cang Ming's gaze looked over, he lowered his eyes. That handsome face was truly too superior, but it gave people a godlike and compassionate feeling of being high above them.

Cold and merciless.

Ning Shu didn't know why, but he felt so similar to Si Kong Hengyu's aura. Perhaps it was because Cang Ming had been by the side of Shen Wuzun for too long, so he acquired a similar aura.

He said in a somewhat somber tone, "To be a disciple of my esteemed master is already an honor. If I were to disappoint him, wouldn't that be a betrayal of his great kindness"

"But Cang Ming merely replied faintly, “Why do you think the Divine Sovereign has such high expectations of you That you’ve been training so hard” He paused, then continued, “Was he too harsh on you in his usual dealings with you”

Ning Shu quickly shook her head, pressing her lips together and saying, "That's how I think." She lifted her eyes, her clear, round pupils looking over. Calmly, she said, "I want to earn my master's approval and recognition."

Apart from this strategy, he couldn't think of any other way.

"Perhaps, he doesn't want to"

Ning Shu wore a puzzled expression. Did Si Kong Hengyu not want to see him succeed Become an outstanding disciple But usually, when he was serious and focused, the other party would be moved and give him some approval.

Although not much.

The young man thought for a moment and said, “What my master thinks is his business. I still want to be a good disciple of his.”

However, Cang Ming's expression was cold and distant like frost.

You have far too much reverence for him. What if one day he falls from his pedestal Would you still hold him in such high esteem and care for him

Ning Shu didn't know what this sentence meant.

But he still spoke with a somewhat solemn tone: "Master's reputation is far-reaching, though he cultivates the emotionless path. But he has been very good to me. Even if one day, Master does something... it would probably be out of necessity."

"Ning Shu said so, but in her heart she was thinking, Si Kong Hengyu probably wouldn't do that. Because he was a righteous divine lord, someone many people looked up to."

The other party probably just needs to bring up a name to scare away many people.

Only Si Kong Hengyu was indifferent and desireless. He was extremely cold-hearted. As long as one didn't offend him, this deity wouldn't normally show himself to others.

Cang Ming remained silent, but his gaze fell upon the young man's face.

His eyes were unreadable.

Perhaps his apprentice has idealized him.

If it were in the past, the god above was indeed as he said. But now that he has desires, how can he be without ulterior motives

I fear his private motives will shock the world.

Even the young ones were scared away.

....

When Ning Shu woke up, he saw that the rabbit was still there. Instead of leaving, it had nestled beside him, and the young man felt a softness on his face.

He opened his eyes and saw a white rabbit.ittle by little.Xie Dashi's face became increasingly cold.At that time, the assistant found the young master hadn't come out of his office for a long time, so he had to knock on the door and say, "You...
