The Wan Dao Zong, the Taichu Hall.
"Are you going to seclude yourself?" Pei Wanyu furrowed her brow as she looked at Lu Jin'an, "So urgent at this moment?"
Lu Jin'an nodded, half-joking: "I want to stand behind Master as soon as possible."
Pei Wanyu did not take his teasing at this moment to heart but asked: "Afraid that the girl called Qingyue will treat you as a pet? Don't worry about her. With the Master here, you have nothing to fear."
Lu Jin'an shook his head again. To be honest, he also felt a bit wary of his Master at this moment.
What was the reason for your Master to bring you to the Wandao Zong in the first place?
Why did the Master give so many benefits?
Is the Master also holding some unknown purpose?
Lu Jin'an knew that he shouldn't have any thoughts of doubting his Master, but the Master and Mu Qingyue were mother and daughter!
Although he knew they were not real mother and daughter, who in the outside world didn't know that Pei Wanyu was born to a phoenix family and had a daughter who was named 'Sword Immortal' at a young age?
Based on this, does Pei Wanyu know the real purpose of Mu Qingyue?
Lu Jin'an was afraid to gamble, so he wanted to close the cultivation as soon as possible.
He was aware that his unease ultimately stemmed from his insufficient strength.
With enough power, it's not certain who would refine a sword spirit, who would give someone a collar, or who would bestow welfare on whom!
"Can the Master control the master sister?" Lu Jin'an's thoughts turned quickly, and he asked in a deep voice.
"On this matter, I can!" Pei Wanyu smiled slightly and, with the same emphasis, comforted her beloved disciple.
Now, I'm very much looking forward to seeing how interesting it will be when Qingyue and Zhu Nanzhi meet!
Although I'm not clear about Qingyue's real purpose, we can't let her take the upper hand now~
Lu Jin'an had a bottom, even if the Master also had intentions for him, she wouldn't make a move now.
It's not because of her current attitude, but because Lu Jinan had the worst-case scenario in mind - even if the Master was cultivating him for a certain cultivation method, it would have to wait until he merges with the Dao.
As long as he merges with the Dao before, Lu Jinan felt safe.
"Disciple believes in the Master." Lu Jin'an made a bow to Pei Wanyu: "Therefore, I want to ask the Master to protect the Dao."
"This is the Master's duty, oh~" Pei Wanyu walked up to Lu Jinan and patted his head: "Good disciple, you're too formal. The Master will keep an eye on Qingyue for you."
Lu Jin'an stood up straight: "Where is the master sister now?"
"Oh~" Pei Wanyu covered her mouth and whispered: "The Master accidentally told her about your marriage to Zhu Nanzhi. I shouldn't have been nosey, after all, this is a matter between you young people..."
Jin'an, you won't be upset with the Master, will you?
During this, Pei Wanyu, the deputy patriarch of Wandao Zong, leaned on Lu Jin'an like a little girl, twisting and rubbing against him.
The force was so great that even the bias of Lu Jin'an's cross-shoulder collar dress was loosened by his face, showing a bit of white smoothness, and Lu Jin'an could also clearly feel with his nose how soft and tender the Master, whose charm had not yet faded, was.
But Lu Jin'an couldn't feel happy at all. Is this you, Master, giving me trouble?
In a hurry, Lu Jin'an wriggled out of Pei Wanyu's embrace and retreated a few steps. Looking at the Master, who was now in disarray, with clothes swaying and hairpins askew and rosy cheeks apologizing, Lu Jin'an opened his mouth but ultimately decided to remain silent.
Pei Wanyu blinked her eyes: "You're not mad at the Master, are you?"
Lu Jin'an took a deep breath: "Master, you should rename yourself 'Pei Yourong'."
"I knew you wouldn't be angry by hearing you praise the Master as having 'great tolerance', so I'm very happy~" Pei Wanyu showed a relieved expression: "But..."
She lightly raised her right hand, pretending to straighten the bias but leaving it open a bit more, revealing the deep purple undergarment inside. The edges of a flower embroidered in gold threads could be faintly seen.
Purple, it really has an elegant charm.
"As long as the good disciple knows that the Master has 'great tolerance' is enough~" Pei Wanyu placed one hand on the white skin of the bias collar, and with her index finger raised, she placed it on her own beautiful, red lips and gave Lu Jin'an a seductive look: "This is a secret only the good disciple can feel~"
Lu Jin'an didn't speak, but his body had already responded on his behalf.
In his heart, Pei Wanyu was truly a voluptuous mature woman whose every part exuded an irresistible charm... With the guardstone still present, why is she so enchanting?
Even more, I want to see and taste it.
Lu Jin'an lowered his eyelids slightly: "The disciple will take his leave first."
Watching Lu Jin'an turn away, Pei Wanyu was about to put away her playful thoughts when she suddenly felt something was off, and she quickly asked, "Where are you going? Your meditation cave is not at the foot of the mountain."
Lu Jin'an paused in his steps: "I am going to refine pills and then go down the mountain."
Pei Wanyu lightly furrowed her eyebrows: "Refining the body doesn't need to go down the mountain. The Master can not only help you watch over Qingyue, but also protect your path."
"The refinement of the body is only secondary." Lu Jin'an looked back at Pei Wanyu: "In the path I have cultivated, there is one path that must be completed. If it's delayed, I will definitely return in half a month. Master, you can just keep an eye on my sister."
After saying this, Lu Jin'an left the Tai Chu Peak.
Watching Lu Jin'an's departure for the Danyao Hall, Pei Wanyu showed a thoughtful expression. What path must be completed outside?
She knew that her beloved disciple was cultivating a 'Great Liberation Meditation' that he had somehow obtained, and that he wanted to combine this incomplete cultivation technique with his own to become a Daoist art and attain the Dao.
Because she had never seen Lu Jin'an make a mistake on the path of refining this technique, she hadn't tried to persuade him to switch to another Daoist cultivation method.
After all, once the 'Great Liberation Meditation' is completed, it will certainly be a very good Daoist cultivation technique.
But shouldn't the various cultivation sites within the Wandao Zong's Ba Ta be enough to meet his requirements for meditation? Why go outside at all?
"Space and time, yin and yang, life and death..." Pei Wanyu's eyes flickered with an unusual color: "Life or death..."
As she muttered to herself, Xia Ming's cheerful call caused her expression to become serious, and she asked carefully: "Has the master brother told you about the Blood Pool?"
"Blood Pool?" Pei Wanyu twisted her head and stared at Xia Ming: "What's the Blood Pool?"
"Ah? Didn't he say anything?" Xia Ming paused, puzzled. Why would the big brother not have mentioned it, and why was the master showing such an expression?
I'm sorry to have spoken in vain...
Xia Ming's expression instantly became confused. It was Master Brother's order not to tell the deputy patriarch first, but the Master Brother did not dare to disobey that command. The seat of the Blood Pool involved such a major matter as the Dao, so she didn't dare to inform the deputy patriarch in advance.
The result was that the Master Brother was actually keeping the deputy patriarch in the dark...
"Say!" Pei Wanyu, while straightening her loosely hanging clothes, emphasized the words.
Xia Ming dare not hide it any longer, so she quickly lowered her head and said: "The Master Brother has raised a Blood Pool in the Blood Emperor Sect. Every so often, he uses a strange short sword to absorb and purify the blood extracted from it..."
"What does the short sword look like?" Pei Wanyu's tone changed slightly.
"The blade is engraved with blood-colored patterns, and there are blood beads on the handle, looking like eyes, it's quite creepy..."
As she was talking, Xia Ming closed her mouth because Pei Wanyu raised her right hand to indicate that she didn't need to continue.
Stepping to the steps and overlooking the mountains, Pei Wanyu's face no longer held any seductiveness, replaced instead by a hint of worry.
"After the cut-off boundary, the dark ancient key..."
Pei Wanyu's fingers tightened slightly. She had never expected her precious disciple to be so daring that he would want to refine the path of life and death in such a brutal way, a way more violent than facing life and death directly.
"I really don't know whether to be happy or worried... He's not making this Master any peace of mind at all!"
Pei Wanyu took a step out, vanishing into thin air.
