ointment, but there was a stubbornness in her heart, and her eyes welled up again: "But if I miss this chance, I'll never get it back.""I know this is an unreasonable request of me."The girl clutched...Ning Shu was completely unaware of this. His master had given him many things, and he knew the female lead was a disciple of an elder, so she wouldn't be lacking in anything. However, seeing such a young girl, he would subconsciously feel a little more protective towards her.

As they spent more and more time together, Liuxueying grew closer to him.

Ning Shu looked at the female protagonist in front of her, and he remembered what Si Kong Hengyu had said to her in the original novel: “Now that you have no family, I will be your master from now on.”

And only then did the sorrow in Liu Xueying's heart surface.

He thought about this and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed impossible for Si Kong Hengyu to comfort Liu Xuelin, perhaps later, the two might have some entanglements.

But Ning Shu at this moment, regarded the female lead as his little junior sister.

"I know your senior brothers and sisters treat you well. If you have anything on your mind that you're not comfortable sharing with them, feel free to come find me anytime."

The young girl nodded gently, looked over, and seemed a little shy: "Thank you, Shizun Ning."

Ning Shu couldn't help but smile. The current female lead came from a small place, so her personality was more timid and shy. After a few years, she would become lively and mischievous.

He wanted to say something more, but then he received a private message from his master.

Ning Shu couldn't help but be startled.

Master, has something happened He rarely sends him private messages, but this time, only a few cold words from Sikong Hengyu: return to Tianqifeng immediately and see the master.

The young man had to immediately stand up.

And Liuxueying noticed the young man was leaving, so she stood up as well. Her eyes, brimming with water, looked over, "…Master Uncle is leaving"

"I'll come see you again when I have time," Ning Shu nodded.

The young girl nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly pink, and gently squeezed her hand.

But Ning Shu didn't know, upon their second meeting, several years had already passed.

.....

Ning Shu returned to Tianqi Peak and went to see Sikong Hengyu.

The Divine Lord gazed down at him, his voice a gentle whisper: "Where have you gone"

It was as if he were seeing Si Kong Heng Yu in a snow robe for the first time. His emotionless face, usually devoid of joy or sorrow, seemed divinely handsome. His light-colored eyes were cold and indifferent, yet they possessed an icy chill.

Ning Shu inexplicably felt a chill.

He pursed his lips and said, "...the disciple went to the Zilai Pavilion."

Si Kong Hengyu's aura shifted instantly, and Ning Shu felt the entire hall turn icy cold. Her heart skipped a beat, and then she heard Shen Wu Zun's emotionless voice: "Did you go to Zi Lai Pavilion and see Liu Xueying"

Ning Shu only felt a shiver run down his spine, he was a little dazed. He didn't know why his master was so angry, and his heart suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

"That's good."

Si Kong Hengyu softly spoke, but the coldness in his words was like that of someone without sorrow or joy. It felt as though it heavily struck one's heart.

When the Divine Sovereign was angered, even those at the Tianzong Sect trembled in fear.

Not to mention that Ning Shu couldn't bear it.

He opened his mouth and said, "Master, what have I done wrong"

Si Kong Heng's jade-like eyes gazed at him, "I once asked you, why did you lose your yuan yang."

Ning Shu's lips moved slightly.

But my throat felt tight.

Sī Kǒng Héng Yù stared at the young man's face. Seeing his face slightly pale, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes. His gaze flickered across that fair face: "Your teacher does not blame you. You only need to answer me one question, what were you going to Zi Lai Ge for"

Ning Shu lowered her head slightly, silent for a moment before saying, "Disciple just thinks...Sister Liu is new here, she might not be used to it...so..."

"Si Kong Hengyu, however, interrupted him with a faint, "She has several senior brothers and one senior sister above her. Why are you so concerned" His words carried a coldness like rations: "You're only at the foundation building stage now, I won't hold it against you for what happened with Yuan Yang. But if you have any other thoughts, then how can you hope to achieve the Dao"

Ning Shu was taken aback. Si Kong Hengyu had actually misunderstood him liking the female lead

He hurriedly explained, "Master, I didn't."

The young man's face showed a mix of panic and confusion: "I have no romantic feelings for Liu Shimei. I just thought she seemed pitiful, so I took extra care of her… I don't like her..."

Si Kong Hengyu remained silent, only gazing at him with his pale eyes, his expression unreadable.

"Then why do you run so diligently every day"

Ning Shu opened her mouth, but for a moment couldn't think of any good excuse. From the perspective of others, he was indeed being too attentive. He had already lost his yang energy, and in Si Kong Hengyu's eyes, he was fickle and still desired physical intimacy.

How could you not be angry.

Ning Shu could only collapse heavily and said, “... it's the disciple's fault. Please punish me, Master. But my heart is only on cultivation, I don't have any other intentions. I only want to make great progress in my cultivation and not shame your name.”

He lowered his head and didn't see Si Kong Hengyu's expression.

After a long silence, the other party finally spoke in a cold and indifferent voice: "You will be confined to solitary reflection for three months. For the next two years, if you fail to break through your current cultivation level, you shall remain here on Tianqi Peak."

....

Ning Shu was really punished to reflect by facing the wall. He couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

He certainly didn't handle it well.

>Now, the two of them have finally managed to get closer. These days, Sikuohengyu doesn't want to see him at all.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, no matter how much he practiced his sword.

The other party doesn't even look at him once.

Ning Shu immersed herself in the hot water, relieving today's fatigue. She opened her eyes, a little confused, wondering what kind of disciple Sikong Hengyu really wanted

He didn't understand, sometimes he even felt that the other party didn't care about his pursuit of cultivation.

It's as if, even if Ning Shu were just a disciple of the divine and nameless master, not striving for progress or practicing cultivation, it wouldn't seem to matter. Sikong Hengyu would give him everything, top-grade magic artifacts, all sorts of treasures; taking out just one would cause cultivators to flock to him eagerly.

He knew that if these things were seen by others, it would probably cause trouble. So Ning Shu carefully hid all of these things.

Sometimes, Ning Shu didn't understand what kind of disciple Sikong Hengyu wanted. He stared for a while, then got up from the water.

However, I felt a gust of air.

Before Ning Shu could even get up, another person burst into the room. The intruder revealed a handsome face and held a familiar sword in his hand. If it wasn't Cang Ming, then who else could it be

He widened his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

But thinking about how she seemed to have nothing on, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said, "Cang Ming, why didn't you knock before coming in"

Cang Ming remained silent, his face cold and expressionless.

Her light eyes drifted, settling on the young man.

Ning Shu wasn't wearing anything, and her clothes were even somewhat wet. Because of the mist, her delicate porcelain skin was stained with a touch of pink like snow.

A pale chest, and a slender, supple waist.

Through the water, full hills can be faintly seen.

Cang Ming's Adam's apple rolled slightly as he said, "Did you go see Liu Xueying today"

Ning Shu was slightly startled and asked, "How did you know"

Cang Ming remained silent, only gazing at him with his eyes lowered. Ning Shu couldn't understand that look. His pale eyes simply stared at him quietly: "Do you have feelings for her"

Ning Shu hurriedly said, "How is that possible"

Cang Ming walked over and stood beside him.

Ning Shu almost choked on her breath, she was currently in the wooden tub. While Cang Ming had already seen everything in the water clearly. Although they were both men, there were still some differences.

He just wanted to say something, but the other person grabbed his arm with one hand.

Cang Ming lowered his head, a warm breath washing over him.

The hot water beneath sent shivers down Ning Shu's spine. He took a step back, but Cang Ming didn't give him the chance: "You are not allowed to see her again."

Ning Shu raised her eyes and saw Cang Ming looking at her. His expression was cold, his voice calm.

But around him was an undeniable aura of cold.

Ning Shu felt a flicker of recognition, even for a moment she thought she saw her master. She turned her face slightly and said, " Cang Ming, you have no right to interfere with whom I choose to associate with."

After he finished speaking, he only felt a chill run down his spine, as if an icy aura had enveloped him.

This made Ning Shu's body tremble slightly, and the atmosphere in the room shifted. He felt a sudden emptiness as Cang Ming scooped him up into his arms.

The young man widened his eyes slightly: "...What are you doing"

’

Cang Ming held him like an infant, his arms encircling Ning Shu's waist.

The young man put his all into it, but didn't budge an inch. It seemed Ning Shu was getting exasperated, her cheeks flushing a touch of red.

"Cang Ming, let me down!"

However, Cang Ming ignored him. Instead, his large palm pressed against the snowdrift behind Ning Shu.

He instantly felt a shiver run down his spine, about to explode!

Ning Shu's whole person panicked, Cang Ming's subordinate was his Xue Qiu. Those eyes drooped and looked over, the slightly darker thin lips slightly parted: "Be obedient, okay"

Ning Shu struggled, only sensing Cang Ming's lips and tongue press against hers.

His expression was like that of a deity, making him seem untouchable. Yet he was doing the opposite, struggling for breath with Ning Shu. But he couldn't break free at all. His cultivation level was, to those before him, like a drop of water falling into the ocean—hopelessly outmatched.

"Let me go.."

Ning Shu's voice couldn't help but tremble with a hint of crying, as she stammered, "Master..."

"Who are you"

Cang Ming stopped, those pale eyes looked over, but they were deep and icy.

Ning Shu opened her mouth.

He unconsciously called out to Sikong Hengyu, having formed a slight dependence. But he forgot that Sikong Hengyu was angry with him and hadn't paid him any attention these past few days.

He pursed his lips slightly, without answering Cang Ming's words.

Cangming looked at him for a long while, then lowered his head. He invaded the young man's lips and tongue, while pinching his soft and delicate waist: "Shuer, why do you call me master" a moment, then immediately followed behind him, saying with pursed lips: "Thank you, Uncle Wen."Wen Yu Zhou was holding a cup.Just now he probably went down to fetch some water.Ning Shu found that th...
