Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Jiang Rao turned around, walked to Bai Yuan's tree house, and knocked on the door.

"Master, are you awake?"

"..."

A brief silence.

No one? Or didn't hear?

Jiang Rao took a deep breath and put his hand on the door, intending to push it open and walk in to check the situation inside.

But at this moment.

Bai Yuan's voice suddenly floated out from inside the house. It sounded as if it was covered by several layers of gauze, and it seemed a little unclear: "It's, it's Rao'er... It's so late, what's the matter?"

"...It's nothing serious. I just encountered some difficulties when comprehending the Five Elements Wheel, and I wanted to come and ask for your advice, Master."

Jiang Rao paused in pushing the door open, gave a random excuse, and then asked casually, "By the way, I think I saw Shuang'er go out just now. She's not in her room now. Did she come to see you, Master?"

"..."

There was another brief silence.

Then, Bai Yuan's voice, with a slight tremor, sounded faintly, "Yes, yes... You know, Shuang'er has been afraid of the dark since she was a child. There are no lights or candles in this valley, and tonight is a starless and moonless cloudy night. She was a little scared, so she came to find me... hiss...

Having said this, Bai Yuan seemed to take a long breath, slowed down, and then continued in a relatively calm tone:

"I just put her to sleep and I'm getting ready for bed myself."

"It's very late, Rao'er, you should go back and rest early... There's no need to rush into cultivation. It won't be too late to discuss it tomorrow morning."

At this moment.

Bai Yuan, who was in the wooden house, glared fiercely at Ye Shuang'er beside him. His hands were almost about to tear the sheets under him into pieces. His white feet were stretched straight and tight, and each toe was as clear and eye-catching as a bright pomegranate seed, making people want to put it in their mouth and feast on it.

But the little girl's current cultivation had indeed reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm, making it impossible for her to suppress her easily. If the noise was too loud, the wooden house would probably collapse...

Therefore, he could only force himself to calm down and deal with Ye Shuang'er while transmitting messages to the outside world, trying his best to avoid being heard.

This special experience was also the first time for Bai Yuan, which made her unconsciously feel a sense of guilt, but she could not explain it to Jiang Rao.

outside the house.

Jiang Rao frowned slightly.

It is true that "Ye Shuang'er is afraid of the dark."

After all, this is the psychological trauma left by Ye Shuang'er due to her childhood experiences, which is even more severe on stormy nights.

Before this, when Jiang Rao was still on Yinyue Mountain, she had comforted Ye Shuang'er many times for this reason - of course, she would occasionally deliberately tell Ye Shuang'er some ghost stories to scare her, and then watch the little girl's frightened face and clap her hands and laugh, as one of the few pleasures during that painful period.

But now, Ye Shuang'er has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

To say that the little girl at this time would come to her master in the middle of the night for comfort for this reason...

It feels a bit far-fetched.

Furthermore, the inexplicable trembling in Bai Yuan's voice, accompanied by faint gasps and inhalations, made Jiang Rao even more suspicious. Images that she hadn't dared to contemplate began to materialize unconsciously in her mind...

"Master, are you...really alright? I heard you sound a little bit painful when you spoke just now."

“…How could that be?”

Bai Yuan replied with a guilty conscience, "As you know, Shuang'er previously overdosed on the 'Soul-Eroding Marrow-Burning Pill' and hasn't fully refined it yet. I just helped her absorb some of the toxin and plan to study it... Hey, don't worry, this little thing won't affect me."

Are you sure you're absorbing...toxins?

Or……

What else are you "absorbing"?

Jiang Rao subconsciously recalled the scene in her mind of Bai Yuan "absorbing sap" from Ji Lingyun, and then replaced Ji Lingyun with Ye Shuang'er, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

but……

Although she had some doubts in her heart, since Bai Yuan had already said so, Jiang Rao didn't want to continue asking.

As for pushing the door open and walking in regardless of what Bai Yuan said... that would be a bit too rude.

Jiang Rao, who had spent many years in the Tianyuan Sword Sect, received a righteous education, and was bound by higher moral standards, would find it difficult to do such a thing.

If Bai Yuan had remained silent, she could have just pushed the door open and barged in under the pretext of "worrying about Master's safety," but now...

Jiang Rao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not push open the thin door. Instead, he sighed and said, "Very well, Master. Please have a good rest. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow morning."

Jiang Rao turned back with a heavy heart.

the other side.

Qingluo, wearing golden feathered clothes, stood at the window of her tree house, looking in this direction through the "curtain" formed by vines.

As the one with the highest cultivation level among the three disciples, Qingluo naturally noticed Ye Shuang'er's actions. At the same time, she also heard the conversation between Ji Lingyun and Jiang Rao. Because the latter two did not deliberately avoid others when they spoke.

Jiang Rao didn't understand the hidden meaning in Ji Lingyun's words.

But Qingluo vaguely guessed something—

"Four little wild rabbits... Could it be that they're talking about us and Master?"

"Two are fighting, and two are watching from the sidelines. Fighting... Could it be that Master and that Junior Sister Ye are actually doing that kind of thing?"

"Too."

Qingluo accepted this point more quickly.

On the one hand, as a demonic race, the Divine Phoenix Clan's ethics and moral principles are less stringent than those of humans. Secret affections and even forbidden love between sisters, aunts, nieces, and even direct blood relatives are common. From the demonic clan's perspective, intermarriage between close relatives is the preferred option, preserving the purity of the bloodline to a certain extent.

Of course, there are also cases like the Sky-Splitting Black Eagle, which captures females of other species and brings them back for reproduction, only caring about quantity rather than quality.

Although Qingluo was born as a human, she has spent much longer in the Eastern Wilderness than in Central Continent. She has seen a lot and is naturally used to it.

Besides...

"Master and disciple" cannot be considered close relatives, they are just people with a relatively close relationship. From Qingluo's perspective, it is not against human ethics.

On the other hand.

Qingluo had already noticed some clues:

Before Bai Yuan woke up, Qingluo discovered that Ye Shuang'er's concern for Bai Yuan went beyond the scope of an ordinary master and disciple.

And today, when Qingluo and Bai Yuan were hugging each other and expressing their love, the little girl gave them an expression of envy and jealousy, as if she wanted to take their place. This also served as evidence that Ye Shuang'er had other thoughts about Bai Yuan.

more importantly……

Qingluo herself had once harbored admiration for Xueyuan during her teenage years, but after experiencing various misfortunes, her love turned to hate.

Therefore, as a person who has experienced it and a bystander, although Qingluo had just returned, she saw the thoughts of her "little junior sister" earlier than Jiang Rao, and she also saw Bai Yuan's almost infinite indulgence and pampering of Ye Shuang'er.

Now that she discovered that the two of them had an "intimate relationship that transcends boundaries", Qingluo felt that it was very reasonable.

At the same time, there is a bit of taste -

It was obviously me who came first.

Whether it was becoming her disciple, falling in love, breaking up with that woman, or even going to war, I was the first to do so, but...

Why is this happening?

However, Qingluo was never one to dwell on herself, nor would she wait for charity with a humble attitude. She would simply go get what she wanted, no matter how high or far away it was, or how difficult it was to get.

If Master can accept the forbidden thing with Ye Shuang'er, then...

Perhaps she could also use the same method to quickly repair her relationship with her master and apprentice...

Qingluo narrowed her eyes and looked towards Bai Yuan's wooden house again. Then her figure blurred for a moment, turned into a ball of golden fire, and disappeared on the spot.

……

"call……"

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Ye Shuang'er's combat effectiveness has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

She originally thought that she could easily control this little girl as usual, but she underestimated her enemy after the "battle" began. In addition, her body was a little sensitive after being reborn, so the latter took advantage of her gap and gained the upper hand for a while.

Just now, this little girl took advantage of the time when Jiang Rao came over and Bai Yuan had to be distracted to take care of other things, and chased her all the way, using her tongue and hands, almost making her surrender.

but……

Bai Yuan is not a vegetarian after all.

After confirming that Jiang Rao had left, she calmed her mind and concentrated on dealing with Ye Shuang'er's offensive. Taking advantage of the latter's temporary relaxation after achieving a phased victory, she launched a counterattack in one breath.

Ye Shuang'er barely managed to hold out for a while, but gradually she couldn't hold on any longer. Bai Yuan launched a series of smooth attacks, seizing the initiative and then losing ground...

For a while.

The fighting gradually subsided.

Both the master and the disciple were a little breathless.

"Huh, huh... As expected of Master... Still as formidable as ever. Shuang'er admits defeat..."

Ye Shuang'er lay on the bed, her hands unconsciously wrapped around Bai Yuan's waist. The silver butterfly hairpin in her hair had long since fallen somewhere. Her pretty face, now covered with a thick blush, looked like a ripe apple, particularly tempting.

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to let Ye Shuang'er catch her breath before starting the second stage.

The skin of this body of hers was indeed much more delicate than before, which was why the little girl had seized the opportunity to kill her just now; but her physical strength had indeed been strengthened a lot, and her endurance was ridiculously strong. Even after a fierce battle, her body was not very tired.

And it wasn't very satisfying.

That's when.

Bai Yuan suddenly turned around with a sense of something, looking towards a place near the window——

That was where Ye Shuang'er had just slipped in. After the latter entered, she was not sealed by Bai Yuan. And now, another figure had appeared there at some point, looking over here with a pair of golden eyes.

Chapter 232 Qingluo: Master, you don’t want to…

“…Qingluo?!”

Bai Yuan was startled.

With her level of cultivation, she should have noticed Qingluo's arrival earlier. However, she was busy defending her dignity as a master and concentrating on attacking Ye Shuang'er, so she ignored her surroundings. When she came to her senses, she found that there was another person in the room.

Under Bai Yuan's surprised gaze.

Qingluo glanced at her naked body without leaving any trace, especially her breasts and lower body. Then she spoke softly and respectfully, "Disciple Qingluo, I have come to pay my respects to Master."

"?"

The corner of Bai Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and a thought vaguely emerged in his mind:

no……

Aren't you disciples a little too disrespectful?

In front, Ye Shuang'er ran over and climbed onto the bed, tormenting her for half the night; in the back, Jiang Rao came and knocked on the door and asked a few questions, which almost made her fall in front of her disciple; now that the situation on both sides has finally calmed down, Qingluo came to visit again late at night... Which disciple can torment his own master like this?

What kind of place did she think her master's room was? A high-end entertainment club?

but.

The current situation is a bit awkward.

At this moment, Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er were both naked, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a "fierce battle".

Especially Ye Shuang'er.

The little girl was already exhausted and her reaction was slow for a few beats before she noticed Qingluo's appearance. She immediately let out an "Ah" and tried to get up with some difficulty.

——For the little girl, it is still a bit embarrassing to expose her body in front of the senior sister whom she is not very familiar with.

Meanwhile, Qingluo had just reconciled with Bai Yuan the day before, their past grudges resolved. Just a few days earlier, she was still the same madwoman, utterly resentful of Bai Yuan, who had traveled thousands of miles to hunt her down, seeking revenge for the "heart-ripping and bone-diggering" incident.

Suddenly seeing the daughter of the Divine Phoenix appear before him in this manner, Bai Yuan even for a moment suspected that he had used the [Path of Time] to tamper with the past, and that she had seen through it, and had regained her murderous intent, wanting to eliminate her...

present.

Bai Yuan casually pulled a thin blanket over herself and Ye Shuang'er. While maintaining her vigilance in her heart, she said with a stiff upper lip, "It's Qingluo... You misunderstood. I was just helping Shuang'er remove the poison and comforting her."

"That's it..."

Qingluo's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a subtle expression appeared on her face. "It just so happens that I was also poisoned not long ago, and I don't know how to cure it. Could you please, Master, give me some help as well?"

“…Poisoned?”
