I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

pain!

It hurts so much!

It hurts everywhere!

Lu Shixue wrapped the mink coat tightly around herself, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart.

Even when she was critically injured and on the verge of death after killing the elder of the Demonic Sect, she wasn't this weak and powerless.

Moreover, in addition to physical pain...

She felt ashamed to face her best friend, Gong Yueli.

He was actually...

Gong Yueli doesn't pay much attention to her disciples' affairs.

But if, in the future, when she is instructing Cheng Ran in swordsmanship, she happens to sense that Cheng Ran possesses her own Xuan Yin power...

How should I explain this to myself?

And there's no way to tell the truth...

It's not like I'm some kind of 800-year-old auntie who ate young grass!

Lu Shixue's expression grew colder and colder as she thought about it:

"You beast, I will never easily forgive your crimes today!"

"Oh?"

Cheng Ran shrugged. "Why is Palace Master Lu also starting to get impotent and furious?"

He said jokingly, "Palace Master Lu, I think you might not be quite clear about the current situation."

He then shook the jade pendant in his hand and infused it with spiritual energy.

The jade pendant shimmered with four colors of light.

At the same time, the seal of inheritance on Lu Shixue's palm was faintly burning.

"This is?"

Lu Shixue stared at her palm, muttering to herself in disbelief.

Having possessed the Seal of Inheritance for so long, she had never encountered such a situation before!

wow——

A dazzling blue light burst forth from the mark, forming several rings that bound Lu Shixue's delicate body.

Then the ring underwent a series of bizarre and wonderful changes!

It turned into blue shackles.

The shackles bound Lu Shixue tightly, making her look like a rice dumpling!

"Luck?"

Lu Shixue clenched her teeth and immediately understood the situation.

This is roughly the suppression of her holy land's inheritance by the power of destiny, only it has been transformed into a tangible shackle.

Cheng Ran, however, did not take it to heart.

He squatted down and looked at Lu Shixue, who was bound hand and foot, with great interest.

Lu Shixue already had a graceful figure, a perfect body that even a 3D model couldn't replicate.

The beauty is amplified at this moment, bound by the shackles of fate.

Especially that milky white...

It makes one wonder...

Hehehe!

Cheng Ran poked Lu Shixue's pretty cheek and waved to her as he did so:

"Palace Master Lu, didn't you say you wouldn't forgive me? Here's my hand. You can bite it if you want."

Shameless!

shameless!

Lu Shixue glared at Cheng Ran with extreme disgust, but remained silent.

If she speaks or bites, this beast in front of her will only get more excited!

So she preferred to keep quiet and let Cheng Ran provoke her.

only......

She really couldn't understand it.

How could someone as upright as Gong Yueli teach such an absurd disciple?

This is absolutely unbelievable!

"That's enough, that's enough."

Seeing that Lu Shixue ignored him, Cheng Ran didn't bother to continue teasing her.

The saying goes, "If you slap someone, you should reward them with a piece of candy."

Lu Shixue's personality.

Constantly humiliating her will not increase her subservience.

Cheng Ran waved his hand, stood up, and sighed:

"Palace Master Lu, there is something you may not know. My parents passed away when I was very young, and I have been living in the Holy Land ever since."

Lu Shixue frowned.

She didn't understand why this beast had suddenly started being sentimental.

Cheng Ran ignored Lu Shixue and continued speaking in a low voice:

"I am not a cold-blooded person. In fact, I have deep feelings for the Holy Land."

"If it weren't for Palace Master Lu's relentless pressure, I wouldn't have wanted to destroy the Holy Land."

hehe......

I don't believe you for a second!

Lu Shixue inwardly scoffed.

Cheng Ran's reputation and ambition are completely inversely proportional!

She would rather believe the Demonic Sect than believe what this beast said!

"Stop pretending in front of me."

"I don't know how you managed to pretend to be a gentleman in front of Yue Li, but I will never be fooled by your pretense."

"What exactly are you up to?"

As expected of Palace Master Lu.

Eight hundred years wasn't lived in vain; it really couldn't be hidden from her...

Cheng Ran secretly praised him, and then did not hide his true thoughts:

"Since Palace Master Lu has seen through it, then I will speak frankly."

"Palace Master Lu, as long as from now on, you allow me to check every now and then whether you have any ill intentions toward the jade pendant, I will not take action against the Holy Land."

What a beast!

Not content with taking advantage of me once, they actually want to develop a long-term strategic partnership?

Lu Shixue really wished she could tear this beast in front of her to pieces!

however!

She has no choice now.

As long as Cheng Ran still possesses that jade pendant, the Holy Land's fortune remains in his hands!

Under these circumstances, Lu Shixue dared not gamble that Cheng Ran would act as a good person...

Besides, Cheng Ran was never a good person to begin with!

For the sake of the holy land...

I only have one path left: self-sacrifice...

Lu Shixue gripped her snow-white mink coat tightly with her jade-like hands, her voice trembling with humiliation:

"Alright, I agree."

Cheng Ran then clapped his hands.

He looked at the incompetent palace master before him and praised him with a smirk:

"As expected of Palace Master Lu, your ability to assess situations and judge circumstances truly earns my admiration!"

Lu Shixue remained silent.

His icy face was filled with extreme disgust and contempt.

Cheng Ran continued speaking to himself:

"By the way, now that Palace Master Lu has agreed, how can I contact you?"

"As far as I know, only a select few disciples are allowed to enter the Goddess Palace."

"Um."

Lu Shixue looked at Cheng Ran coldly.

The Goddess Palace is not only her residence, but also the core altar of the sacred site.

The formation that holds it together is the eighteen layers of array that protect the safety of the holy land, and it is one of the forbidden areas of the holy land.

Naturally, not just anyone can enter.

Especially a despicable beast like Cheng Ran.

And you'll never be allowed in!

Lu Shixue hesitated for a moment, then compromised with her last bit of stubbornness:

"I can give you a Palace Master's Token, which you can use to send me a telepathic message. At that time, I will conceal my identity and come to Sword Inquiry Peak to find you."

The Palace Master's Token is quite valuable...

Seeing him is like seeing the true form of Palace Master Lu himself.

Its significance in the Holy Land even surpasses that of the elders' decrees.

Cheng Ran nodded slightly; this thing might still be of some use to him.

"Then it's a deal. I look forward to seeing Palace Master Lu at Sword Inquiry Peak in the future. I will treat you well."

"cut."

Lu Shixue snorted coldly, ignoring Cheng Ran's foul language and provocation:

"Enough with the idle talk, help me untie this thing."

She was referring, of course, to shackles.

These shackles are formed by the power of destiny, and naturally only Cheng Ran, who possesses destiny, can remove them.

However, to her surprise...

Cheng Ran shook his head, staring at her with a half-smile:

"Palace Master Lu, I never said I would remove your shackles."

Lu Shixue was completely confused.

She asked, puzzled, "Why don't you untie it for me?"

Cheng Ran gave a wicked smile.

He gazed at Lu Shixue's beautiful, fragrant lips and said, feigning seriousness:

"Palace Master Lu, what I just said was that from now on, I will check on you every now and then to see if you have any ill intentions."

"In other words, the previous one doesn't count."

"you!"

Lu Shixue's beautiful eyes narrowed.

She was so angry that she nearly coughed up blood.

She was willing to sacrifice herself for the Holy Land, but he was not satisfied and wanted to go even further!

How can someone be so shameless!

and!

It's been three hours already. Is his body made of iron?

"You beast, you... um..."

However, before Lu Shixue could finish speaking, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

Her mouth was blocked again.
