Yun Ying blinked her beautiful eyes, crossed her arms over her chest to support her large, vulnerable ribs, and asked with great curiosity and interest.
Yun Ying was clearly used to Jiang Che's occasional moments of sudden enlightenment, and she wasn't particularly surprised.
"This...no..."
Diao Chan paused for a moment, then gently shook her head and answered Yun Ying's question.
There shouldn't have been any warning signs before Jiang Che entered into enlightenment, right?
In other words, she was simply fulfilling her duty as a money-devouring beast...
Could this be the reason?
Thinking of this, Diao Chan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"I wonder what kind of talent Xiao Che will gain this time..."
"I can't wait!"
Yang Yuhuan picked up the conversation, her face beaming with a smile. She spoke softly, her gaze tender as she looked at Jiang Che, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, her heart filled with anticipation.
The first was his unparalleled talent in swordsmanship, followed by his talent in spirit talismans and alchemy. After his last enlightenment, he also gained talent in weapon crafting. After this enlightenment, Jiang Che will definitely gain another extraordinary talent.
Is it array formation or some other cultivation talent?
"My master is so amazing~"
Mai Shiranui's eyes were filled with undisguised adoration and love. Her brows were like autumn water, her eyes sparkling with charm, and she licked her lips with her delicate pink tongue.
Her beautiful legs in black stockings unconsciously clenched and rubbed together, creating a scene full of poetic beauty.
If things weren't so bad, she would have loved to rush into the room right now, push Jiang Che down, and experience her master's intense, burning passion.
Every time Mai Shiranui sees Jiang Che, she feels an overwhelming urge to express her feelings, almost unable to suppress her true emotions.
Instead of gradually disappearing over time, this situation has become increasingly intense.
Thinking that there were several other sisters present, and that according to the order, it should be Diao Chan accompanying Jiang Che tonight, Mai Shiranui was able to suppress her restless emotions.
"My husband must not be disturbed when he has an epiphany..."
"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, shall we stay here tonight and protect our husbands?"
"What do you sisters think?"
After a moment of contemplation, A-Li spoke up, her gaze sweeping over Yun Ying, Diao Chan, and Shiranui Mai.
According to seniority and the order in which Jiang Che took them into his household, apart from Yang Yuhuan, the other women were all her sisters, and A-Li had always firmly held the position of the Empress.
“What my sister says is true, that’s definitely how it should be…”
"Sister Ali is right!"
The girls all nodded, completely agreeing with Ali's statement. They stopped talking and began to silently stand guard beside Jiang Che, protecting him.
..............................
The academy is located at Qixia Peak.
It was late at night, but Haiyue had no heart for cultivation, so she called her good friend Wang Zhaojun to play chess with her, which was one of her few hobbies.
"You're distracted again!"
After placing her piece, Wang Zhaojun frowned slightly, looking at Haiyue in front of her with a suspicious expression. A hint of doubt appeared on her cold and beautiful face as she spoke in a clear, cold voice.
Invited to the game, Wang Zhaojun played a few rounds of chess with Haiyue. She keenly noticed Haiyue's unusual behavior; Haiyue would drift off into a daze every three to five minutes, showing no concentration whatsoever.
This left Wang Zhaojun very confused and puzzled.
As a dignified lunar deity, the goddess of the moon, and a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, what insurmountable problem could Haiyue possibly encounter?
Otherwise, why would he frequently lose focus and daydream?
"you win……"
Haiyue glanced at the chessboard, didn't struggle too much, and calmly accepted the fact that she had lost to Wang Zhaojun again.
"You seem off today. Is something bothering you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhaojun finally asked a question.
Under the Empress's orders, she and Haiyue jointly managed the academy. Over the past three years, they had interacted countless times. Although she didn't say it, Wang Zhaojun had long regarded Haiyue as a close friend.
Seeing that Haiyue seemed to be lost in some kind of confusion, Wang Zhaojun naturally wanted to show her some concern.
"That's right..."
Haiyue sighed softly, her expression somewhat complicated.
Her worry stemmed from Jiang Che's bold embrace of her the previous night; he had not only taken advantage of her, but had even...
Haiyue naturally noticed Jiang Che's unusual physical condition at the time, but she didn't point it out.
She was a thoughtful and perceptive person. After a series of events, she re-examined everything between herself and Jiang Che and noticed something unusual.
He made a bet with her, tricked her into embracing him, and even had those rebellious thoughts about her. Although Jiang Che didn't show it at all, Haiyue still keenly sensed her precious disciple's thoughts.
This guy wants to be a rebellious disciple!
Whenever she thinks of this, Haiyue's feelings become extremely complicated, including depression, confusion, melancholy, and even a hint of joy.
Haiyue was well aware of the allure of her beautiful body to men, but she never expected that Jiang Che would have such unrealistic thoughts about her.
I am his master!
How dare this guy?
Although there was no formal apprenticeship ceremony, Haiyue had long regarded Jiang Che as her personal disciple, which is why she spared no effort in imparting all her knowledge and skills, giving away all sorts of treasures as if they were free.
Admittedly, his disciple was indeed near perfect in every aspect. Whether it was appearance, figure, talent, cultivation, character, or comprehension, no one could find fault with him. He was the dream lover and ideal husband of countless young girls.
However, her feelings for Jiang Che were only those of a teacher caring for and spoiling their disciple; there were no other inappropriate thoughts involved.
Haiyue is now completely at a loss about how to handle her relationship with Jiang Che, and is quite troubled by it.
To turn a blind eye and pretend not to know?
Or should we be direct and issue a stern warning?
None of them seem to work!
If we turn a blind eye, what if Jiang Che becomes even more unruly and reckless in the future?
This time they took advantage of me, next time they'll have to talk back to my face!
It would be inappropriate to issue a stern warning and force Jiang Che to abandon his fantasies. This would undoubtedly damage Jiang Che's confidence and even create a rift between Haiyue and her beloved disciple, which is not what Haiyue wants to see.
She cherishes a precious disciple like Jiang Che, and she's afraid he'll melt in her hands. Of course, she doesn't want to create too much distance between them.
Unable to come up with a good solution after much thought, Haiyue appeared so melancholy and confused.
Although she has lived for thousands of years, she has never had any experience in love, so she naturally doesn't know how to handle this kind of thing or how to strike the right balance.
· ·····Requesting flowers· ··
In the past, I only heard rumors and read some novels. I have seen all walks of life, witnessed lovers finally getting married, and seen two people who clearly love each other but cannot be together for various reasons.
Haiyue initially didn't quite understand these lovesick men and women, and had always scoffed at so-called love, but now she understands it a little better.
This kind of thing is indeed a bit difficult to handle!
………………
"what's up?"
"Tell me about it, maybe I can offer some advice..."
Seeing Haiyue's sighing and melancholy expression, with her face constantly changing, Wang Zhaojun became even more curious and asked without making a sound.
No, you can't…
"No one can help me with this except myself..."
Haiyue glanced at Wang Zhaojun, shook her head slightly, and rejected Wang Zhaojun's suggestion without even thinking.
If Wang Zhaojun knew about these messy thoughts in my heart, wouldn't she laugh at me to death?
She has no interest in deliberately making herself a laughingstock!
Wang Zhaojun: ……………
Wang Zhaojun remained silent, inwardly cursing and grumbling, "How do you know I can't help you if you don't say it?"
Just as Wang Zhaojun was about to say something, a golden light suddenly shot up from the east, soaring into the clouds, disrupting the Milky Way, and obscuring the moon from the night sky.
The dazzling golden light shone brightly, illuminating everything and making the surrounding area as bright as day.
The golden light was vast and majestic, exuding an ancient and melodious aura.
Wang Zhaojun frowned slightly, spread her divine sense and probed in the direction from which the golden light came. Then, her expression flickered and changed before she turned to look at Haiyue beside her.
..... .... ...
"What kind of tricks is your precious apprentice up to now?"
Because of Jiang Che's presence, Wang Zhaojun was unable to ascertain the specific situation within Qingyun Manor, but she was certain that this commotion must have been orchestrated by Jiang Che.
Wang Zhaojun was naturally aware that Haiyue had taken Jiang Che as her disciple.
She wasn't surprised at all by this.
Wang Zhaojun could naturally see that Haiyue truly valued Jiang Che, which was why she was doing her best to cultivate him, no longer with the mindset of simply completing the Empress's mission.
"Who knows..."
"You know, this little guy basically brings some kind of surprise every now and then..."
Haiyue shook her head, her lips slightly upturned, and a beautiful smile appeared on her pretty face.
Although she didn't know what Jiang Che was up to, Haiyue was certain that her precious disciple had gained some incredible opportunity, judging from the vast, majestic, and sacred golden light emanating from him.
Although he could exert his power with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, constantly suppressing the void within a thousand miles, he simply did not possess such a sacred and vast aura.
This guy really always manages to bring all sorts of surprises.
Unconsciously, Haiyue began to look forward to the next meeting with her precious apprentice, and all her worries and troubles were left behind.
You can't hit them, you can't scold them, and you can't ignore it either, so let's just let nature take its course...
