After drawing lots, Lin Xi and Chu Yang parted ways.

She returned to the Shuiyue Peak Dojo and began to study the Moon Shadow Sword Manual.

She's not trying to comprehend the Clear Moon Immortal Scripture for now; she probably can't understand it yet.

This requires Chu Yang's assistance.

Now is the time for martial arts competitions, and she needs to successfully learn the sacred-grade sword technique, Moon Shadow Sword Manual, in order to advance her strength to the next level.

With the assistance of the swordsman's clear mind, her understanding has also reached a certain level.

Lin Xi continued waving the white crane in the dojo until midnight before finally resting.

She had originally planned to wait for Chu Yang to appear, but he hasn't shown up yet.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet? Could it be that he's forgotten about helping me cultivate the Immortal Scripture?"

Lin Xi frowned slightly as she scanned the outer area with her divine sense and found that there was still no movement.

After waiting another half hour, she had no choice but to put away the white crane and head towards her bedchamber.

Since Chu Yang isn't coming tonight, then forget it.

Perhaps something's wrong with him...

Half an hour later, a golden light flashed across the sky above the main peak of Shuiyue Peak.

Chu Yang arrived at Lin Xi's dojo shortly afterward.

"It's indeed difficult to sneak into the main peak of the Nine Veins."

"If someone discovers a male cultivator on Water Moon Peak in the middle of the night, I'll probably be arrested and severely punished by the Enforcement Hall that very day..."

Chu Yang gently shook his head.

He glanced around, looking somewhat dazed.

Because of a past life connection, he had visited Lin Xi's temple once.

Although his memory was somewhat hazy, the sight of the scene brought it back to him.

After confirming that Lin Xi was not outside the dojo, Chu Yang headed towards her bedroom.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Chu Yang scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and found them eerily quiet, causing him to furrow his brow slightly.

"Is she already asleep because it's so late?"

"Or is she with her master?"

"......"

Unable to find Lin Xi in the main hall, Chu Yang instinctively headed towards the side hall.

However, just as Chu Yang passed by a side room, a slight strange noise came from inside.

After a moment's thought, Chu Yang realized that this was Lin Xi's dojo, and at midnight it would probably only be her there.

So he pushed open the door and went in.

As you push open the door and enter deeper into the room, the strange noises become increasingly clear.

It was a sound as clear as flowing spring water.

Each drop of water fell like a jade plate.

The clear spring echoes, and the flowing water murmurs.

Chu Yang followed the sound of the flowing water and saw a screen with a picture of a phoenix dancing in the moonlight at the end of the bedroom.

Under the bedroom light, mist swirled behind the screen.

A graceful figure appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Its shape is as if it is completely naked.

It was a tall, slender figure; her voluptuous and graceful form could be vaguely seen through the screen.

Three thousand long, flowing hair cascaded down her shoulders.

Her exaggeratedly curvaceous figure, with perfect curves and a mysterious silhouette, is enough to make anyone's blood boil at first glance.

"No way? She's taking a shower right now?"

Even Chu Yang's eyelids twitched upon seeing this scene, and a strange sense of heat arose in his heart.

No doubt about it, it's her.

For some reason, seeing this scene made him involuntarily imagine Lin Xi appearing naked in front of him...

"Who?!"

The figure behind the screen had clearly also noticed the unusual activity in the room.

A chilling shout, accompanied by the power of Ice Soul, swept in like a tsunami.

"It's me!"

"I've come to you to cultivate!"

Seeing Lin Xi make a decisive move, Chu Yang shouted and unleashed his Zhan Xuan magic power to defend himself.

"Chu Yang?!"

"You've come even now?"

The familiar voice made Lin Xi, who was in the bathroom, hesitate for a moment before all of her Ice Soul magic dissipated.

At the same time, her figure quickly disappeared into the mist.

"Wasn't it agreed that I would come to help you with your cultivation?"

"I didn't expect you to be taking a bath at this time..."

Chu Yang couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He was in a women's bathroom and happened to see her taking a shower. For some reason, he felt inexplicably guilty.

"Isn't it all so I can wait for you to practice your sword until midnight?"

"I thought you weren't coming."

A clear, melodious song, like that of a lark, rang out from behind the screen, tinged with a hint of discontent.

"I had something to do, so I'm a little late."

"Don't use your divine sense to spy on me! Or I'll kill you!"

"......"

"We've kissed so many times already, and touched places we shouldn't have. We're an old married couple, what's wrong with taking a few more glances?" Chu Yang spread his hands.

"What did you say?!"

"without."

"Since you're taking a bath now, shall I go outside and wait for you?"

Hearing Lin Xi's genuinely angry tone, Chu Yang stopped joking.

"......"

"never mind."

"The side hall for relaxation is far from here. If you go out, you might be seen. Just wait in the rest room next door and behave yourself."

Lin Xi sighed softly, saying helplessly.

For some reason, she felt somewhat helpless towards Chu Yang.

"......"

Chu Yang's face stiffened.

Are you just going to listen to the sound of you showering while I wait?

Who could stand this?

Just hearing that sound is enough to make you eat ten bowls of rice!

Aren't you afraid I'll transform into a ferocious beast and devour you completely?

"......"

"OK."

However, Chu Yang certainly wouldn't refuse.

He didn't want Lin Xi to think that he was leaving because he was running away in panic.

This will make you look down upon.

We can wait, it doesn't matter.

So Chu Yang sat cross-legged in the lounge.

The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom next door from time to time, like a pleasant symphony.

"......"

"......"

With a snap, Chu Yang, in a fit of frustration, slapped himself.

Grass!

How can he feel at ease?

I am a reborn person, not a monk who has renounced worldly life!

No, even a highly accomplished monk who has attained enlightenment and is free from worldly desires would find this unbearable.

"......"

"What's wrong, Chu Yang? What was that noise just now? What happened?"

Suddenly, Lin Xi, who had heard the commotion, spoke with a puzzled voice.

"No, it's nothing."

"I suddenly had an epiphany just now," Chu Yang sighed softly.

"Enlightenment?"

"That's right. By the way, could you wash faster?"

"What? You can't wait this long?" Lin Xi's displeased voice came from behind.

I'm so angry!

Chu Yang stopped talking and began to silently recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

A clear mind is like still water; still water reflects a clear mind. A gentle breeze stirs, and the surface remains undisturbed.

Alone I sit amidst the secluded bamboo grove, letting out a long sigh as I play my zither. Lost in meditative stillness, the venomous dragon vanishes... My soft breasts embrace the moon on the horizon, my jade hands lightly strumming the strings...

My heart is unfettered, Heaven rewards diligence... A jade hand lightly plucks...

"Um???"

No, is this still the Purification Mantra?

Did I mispronounce it?

"......"
