After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

However, the star-official ladies still chose to pay their respects to Master Yan first.

Moreover, the way they looked at Shi Yan was not one of awe, but rather... reverence and admiration.

Although she is the "young lady" of the "Heaven and Earth," the star officials of the "Starry Sky Division" treat Shi Yan with the same respect as their own young lady.

"Is Lord Dugui here to see Mr. Yun?" Miss Xingguan brewed tea for Shi Yan and Dugui.

Du Gui held a teacup in one hand.

It was clearly a very elegant gesture, and she drank very slowly.

But... she almost drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

Miss Xingguan quickly refilled Du Gui's tea.

After repeating this process three times, Du Gui, whose lips were almost cracked, finally began to recover from the previous state of dryness.

It recovered along with my condition...

She slowly raised her head, looking at the star official in front of her who showed no abnormality due to her professionalism, and her teacher, Shi Yan, who was resting her chin on her hands on the table and smiling at her.

Du Gui suddenly felt like he wasn't feeling well at all.

"Sister Dugui is just a little thirsty." Shi Yan squinted slightly, her eyes brimming with laughter.

"Could you please add some rock sugar to your tea?"

"I understand." Miss Xingguan bowed to Shiyan and refilled Du Gui's cup.

Du Gui felt that in his life, apart from when he was almost completely devoid of cultivation and was abducted by demonic cultivators, he had never been in such a predicament as he was now.

What exactly did you understand?!

Du Gui was so angry he wanted to flip the table over.

What's the point of adding rock sugar to this tea?

Subconsciously, Du Guixin had already found the answer in the "Futianmen" scroll.

It promotes the production of body fluids and quenches thirst... nourishes yin... and benefits qi.

Is it too late for me to find a pillar and kill myself now?

In Du Gui's heart, that inner demon was still clamoring... If Du Gui wanted to find a pillar to smash his head against and die, he might as well give his body to her.

Du Gui silently tightened the rope binding Ci Xinmo's wrists and ankles in his mind, then silenced her.

"Let her off easy?"

"Even if I offered myself to Master Shiyan, I wouldn't let her have it so easily."

"Strange... why would I compare her to Master Shiyan?"

"No, no..."

"Why did I even think of Master Shiyan?!"

Crack! Crack! Crack! Du Gui almost crushed the cup.

Miss Star Official looked at Du Gui's appearance.

She waited until Du Gui seemed to have recovered from his near-dazed state before bowing to him and saying, "If Lord Du Gui has come to see Mr. Yun..."

"Mr. Yun passed away a few days ago."

"Mr. Yun seemed to leave in a hurry."

To be more precise—

After her defeat that day, Yun Shushu packed her bags and prepared to return to Jiaozhou.

The "Hidden Cloud Family" is almost indifferent to everything in this world.

It's just a ranking; once you're eliminated, that's that.

Otherwise... if they were willing to send Yun Susu, who had cultivated the "Seventeen-Year Cicada" and attained enlightenment in one day.

Taking down this "Enlightenment Conference" is not a matter of mere chance.

Taking advantage of their superior cultivation level.

Let alone Donghuang Li, even Qin Suhuai, Wen Ruya... would probably have a hard time stopping her.

The only person who could keep her might be Xingjiu.

However, the fact that Yun Shushu chose to run away so hastily this time is not so simple.

During the Enlightenment Conference, Yun Shushu discovered a terrifying attribute, a power that was too terrifying to even exist in the mortal world.

--"die".

He felt it was necessary to report this to his junior female classmates.

That is not a power that the living should possess.

But that girl possessed it, even possessed it completely and perfectly.

"Gone?" Du Gui frowned and looked at Shi Yan.

"It's nothing..." Shi Yan didn't seem to care that much.

Xiaxia is doing very well now.

He just kept sleeping and wouldn't wake up.

According to the dragon race's sleep cycle, even if Xiaxia sleeps for several days in a row, it probably wouldn't even count as a short nap.

There shouldn't be any problem if I ask "Star Celestial Bureau" for help or go to "Cloud Hidden Family" when the time comes.

However, Shi Yan didn't care that much, but Du Gui cared a lot.

“After the Enlightenment Conference ends…” she gritted her teeth, “I’ll go accompany Master Shiyan.”

“Okay---” Shi Yan smiled as he looked at Du Gui.

Du Gui was so dazzled that he couldn't even look away.

On the way back... as if by some strange twist of fate, Du Gui subconsciously wanted to explain to Shi Yan.

"Master Shiyan, you must have heard that rumor—"

"As a transformation of the auspicious peach, Yun Shushu's greatest weakness is her kind heart."

“A witch once severely injured herself to get close to him, just to steal his lifeblood.”

"As it turned out, that guy actually... willingly dropped three minor realms to save her... just to influence her to do good."

That was a rumor that was being widely circulated outside.

Everyone was moved by Yun Shushu's kindness and sincerely admired her.

But... few people know who that witch is.

Those who knew who the witch was always looked at Du Gui and Yun Shushu with a thoughtful gaze.

Du Gui has never cared about such rumors and gossip.

Demonic cultivators have always been carefree and unrestrained, letting outsiders think whatever they want.

It was also impossible for it to disturb the demonic cultivator's mind.

But... things are different now.

For some reason, Du Gui didn't want Shi Yan to have that kind of "misunderstanding".

Du Gui turned slightly to look at Shi Yan, his expression cautious, as if he was afraid that Shi Yan would find out... that he was secretly spying on her.

"Actually, that rumor was only slightly true."

"The person willing to save that witch wasn't Yun Shushu, but another protagonist from the 'Yun Yin Family'... a true protagonist."

Even now, Du Gui still feels a little nervous when that girl is mentioned, and she keeps watching Shi Yan's reaction.

"Yun Susu?" Shi Yan would be very good at supporting the girl.

"Yes..." Du Gui nodded cautiously, observing Shi Yan's reaction. She didn't want Shi Yan to have any misunderstandings about her.

As for Yun Shushu's injuries... actually, it was Yun Shushu who injured her.

Du Gui didn't notice that the moment she finished speaking, Shi Yan's eyebrows seemed to lift.

It's like... a treasure that you've been holding back from using because of certain rules and regulations has suddenly become ownerless.

Perfect……

"However, compared to Yun Shushu..."

“Yun Susu is the real monster, even more so than the legend of the man who did nothing for seventeen years and then suddenly became a god.”

"Her early life was not unproductive."

"on the contrary--"

"She became the best doctor in the Yunyin family, and even... the best doctor in the entire Nine Provinces."

"Master Shiyan's sister will definitely be alright......"

Even at this point, Du Gui was still comforting Shi Yan.

Shi Yan nodded her little head gently, but then noticed that Du Gui's voice suddenly stopped.

A sense of foreboding rose in Shi Yan's heart.

She looked up in the direction the ferry was heading.

Not far ahead was the adorable "Starry Sky Master" girl who had asked Shi Yan for an autograph earlier.

And what was spread out in her hands was...

Seeing Du Gui beside her staring intently, Shi Yan suddenly felt... hopeless.

The area ahead was shrouded in darkness.

[Regarding the first version of the teacher's words...]

first……
