Chapter 24 Guilt “Master is absolutely right. Lu Xuan has this problem. He wants to handle everything by himself and won’t tell anyone when he encounters difficulties. If he could have realized it earlier and asked Master for help, our situation would be much better than it is now." Xia Ningyan bowed to Fan Qianyue. On the surface, she seemed respectful, but her words hinted at something deeper. "Yes, look at what Ningyan said. If you encounter any problems in the future, don't keep them to yourself. Remember to communicate with Master and ask for advice. Did you hear that, Xuan'er?" Seeing this, Fan Qianyue was not angry. She just raised her red lips slightly and turned to look at Lu Xuan. While asking him, I quietly extended a finger and gently slid it down the spine of his back. Lu Xuan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. "I heard it. If I encounter any problems again, I will report to Master immediately." Lu Xuan felt goose bumps all over his body, the muscles on his back twitched constantly, and the expression on his face was somewhat uncontrollable.
"Well, this is what a good disciple of yours truly is. Remember, your safety is the most important thing. Yours is what I have trained you to be. So many resources have been poured into this, if you disregard your own safety for a little profit, I will not let you off easily." As he spoke, Fan Qianyue's palm movements became bolder, and his fingertips roamed freely all over his back. It was not until Lu Xuan was about to give up that he finally took it back reluctantly. "Disciple, please remember this!" Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After bowing to Fan Qianyue, he fled away from her and quickly returned to Xia Ningyan. "Okay, I won't disturb you two any more. Take this Qiankun bag, Xuan'er. It contains five thousand spirit stones and some miscellaneous medicinal pills. When you run out of money, you can come back to Master for more. But remember to spend it sparingly and don’t waste it all at once.” After he finished speaking, Fan Qianyue threw a brown bag at Lu Xuan, then turned and left. But before leaving, she turned around and looked at Xia Ningyan meaningfully, her blood-red eyes full of pride. Ever since she entered the sect, this girl has always been calm and composed, neither happy nor angry. If you knew that your Taoist partner had actually been toyed with by your master for the entire night, how would that cold face be distorted? It’s really exciting. On the other side, Xia Ningyan seemed to have noticed something. She frowned and looked at Lu Xuan and asked softly. "What happened just now? I always felt that the atmosphere between you and Master was a little strange. Moreover, Master didn't seem angry when she heard that you were selling prohibited items. This is unlike her usual behavior." "Uh, is that true? Is it your illusion, Ningyan?" Lu Xuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only play dumb and fool around. Could it be that he just told his Taoist partner the truth, that he had actually been making love with his master the entire night yesterday, and that everything he had said before was nonsense? "illusion."
Xia Ningyan did not believe what she said when she heard it. She already knew what Fan Qianyue thought of Lu Xuan, and she could not help but think about many things. "Ah Xuan, there is something I need to explain to you about Master." After taking a deep breath, Xia Ningyan clenched and unclenched her hands. Then she looked at Lu Xuan very seriously and spoke slowly. "whats the matter?" "Master actually has some different ideas about you. I know you may not want to believe it, but it's the truth! When Master recruited you, she actually saw your aptitude as a furnace cauldron. From the very beginning, Master has been training you as her future Taoist partner." After a brief hesitation, Xia Ningyan spoke out all the words that she had been holding back for a long time. She knew that the truth would be very difficult for Lu Xuan to accept, and it might even affect his state of mind for cultivation. But if he didn't say it, in his heart Lu Xuan still regarded Fan Qianyue as the master who was worthy of his respect and admiration. If you remain defenseless in front of it, there will definitely be big problems in the future. "Ningyan, are you serious?!" Lu Xuan looked confused and shocked. In fact, he had personally verified the authenticity of this statement last night. "When have I ever lied to you? You know, ever since we became Taoist partners, Master has become much colder towards me. After learning that I had lost all my cultivation, he turned a blind eye and directly severed our master-disciple relationship. Although this is perfectly normal in the world of immortal cultivation, abandoning a disciple who is no longer valuable is the choice that best suits one's own interests. But you and I both know that Master is not that kind of person." "Ningyan, I need to think about this carefully. These words are too unbelievable." Lu Xuan took two steps back uncontrollably, looking very confused. Then, in order to prevent Xia Ningyan from seeing the flaw from his expression, he lowered his head again. It was really too difficult for him to hide it from his Taoist partner while enduring the harassment from his master. "I understand how you feel, so I don't ask you to believe it right away. You just need to be on guard." Xia Ningyan sighed softly. If possible, she didn't want to say those words. Let Fan Qianyue always maintain the image of a perfect master in the hearts of his fellow Taoists. But she had to do so due to the current situation. If she still had some cultivation, Lu Xuan would not have to endure all this. "I have no doubt that you are saying this for my own good. In fact, Master has hinted at this to me before. I have done so much for you, so you shouldn't have any psychological burden even if I give up and leave halfway. Now that you mention it again, Ningyan, there are indeed some problems." Lu Xuan shook his head and said thoughtfully. "Okay, don't think too much about it. You were busy all night yesterday, so just take a good rest first." Xia Ningyan gently rubbed his head, held him in her arms, and comforted him softly.
"Huh~, that's right, let's not think about it anymore. Ningyan, use these two bottles of spiritual liquid first, and take this Qiankun bag as well, in case of emergency." Out of guilt, Lu Xuan wanted to compensate her as much as possible. “You need capital to do the medicine business, so you should take these things first. Since you want to drag those elders into this, how can you not spend some money?" Xia Ningyan pushed back the thing Lu Xuan was about to hand her. If she wanted to make money, she had to make sacrifices and gain something. Initial investment was essential. "Don't worry about it. I have enough money here. This is not even half of what I gave you. Don't worry about it. Just keep the things. The money I earn will be used on you sooner or later anyway!" Lu Xuan didn't allow her to refuse. At the moment, he could only make up for the guilt in his heart in this way. (End of this chapter)
