"The matter between you and me has already been known by your master."

“…Gu?!”

Just these one sentence petrified the girl, her mouth slightly open, her face full of fear, even the tears in her eyes froze, unable to fall.

The green jade fingers on Yan Mo's face were frozen like frozen chicken feet.

Yan Mobai held the cold little hand and took it away from his face.

After a while, the girl regained her sanity. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask, "Master... What did Master say? She should be... very... very angry, right?"

Without waiting for Yan Mobai to answer, she muttered to herself: "Master... must be very angry... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that his hair is standing up in anger... just like... uh... a she-wolf with its hair standing on end..."

She then started mumbling to herself, as if the more she talked, the less fear she felt in her heart would fade.

Yan Mobai didn't say anything, just listened to her mumbling quietly.

I don’t know how long she kept muttering, but her voice gradually became lower and lower, and she finally couldn’t deceive herself anymore.

Li Yuluo lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, grabbed the corner of Yan Mobai's robe with his little hands, and asked weakly: "When did Master know about our affairs?"

Yan Mobai thought for a moment and replied, "Probably on the first night."

Hearing this answer, the girl shuddered violently, "So Master had always..."

Thinking of her master's expression which had remained unchanged over the past few days, and the dead eyes of the leader in front of the hall door, she couldn't help but begin to speculate on the connection between the two, and guessed at the conversation that had taken place between the leader and her master in that empty and dark hall.

How many of those dialogues are about her... What is the price behind the calm expression on Master's face?

The girl pressed her pearly teeth against her pink lips, biting them so hard that strands of blood came out.

After a long time, she finally got over the sadness that welled up in her heart, and she spoke in a trembling voice: "The leader went to the mountain, all for me..."

Yan Mobai raised his hand to push away the hair in front of the girl's face, wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, and put his fingers on her bitten lips and gently wiped away the blood: "At least I won't regret it."

Being comforted by him in this way, the girl trembled a little, tilted her head forward slightly, and inadvertently took the leader's bloody fingertips into her mouth.

"Ugh?!"

The smell of blood and a hint of salty sweat spread on the tip of her tongue. She froze instantly and forgot to spit out her finger for a moment. She just looked at the leader with wet eyes, at a loss, like an innocent little deer.

Yan Mobai didn't expect her to do this. When he moved his fingers, he touched the girl's smooth, warm tongue.

The strange touch made the girl open her eyes wide instantly. She whimpered and finally spit out the finger. She stared at the leader blankly, with a few strands of saliva hanging on the corners of her pink lips.

By the time she reacted, the shame almost exploded the girl's little head. She whimpered a few times and buried her head weakly in Yan Mobai's chest.

"Master..."

Hearing his heartbeat, all the fear and sadness in the girl's heart suddenly disappeared. As long as she stayed by this mortal's side, all the hardships in the world seemed to no longer exist.

How ridiculous! She is obviously the cultivator with great accomplishments, and she should be the one protecting the leader...

She murmured quietly: "Such a big thing, why did the leader hide it from me?"

"If you and your master have both reached the Great Perfection of Spirit Refining, of course I would tell you..." Yan Mobai said, "But you are only at the Core Formation stage. Even if I let you know, wouldn't you still just be sulking there?"

The girl was shocked and buried her face in dismay.

Yan Mobai felt the softness of her small breasts on his abdomen. With her long black hair loose, he could vaguely see the girl's delicate and lovely ears, as well as her snow-white neck. When he thought she was asleep, he suddenly heard her soft voice:

"Master, do you hate Master?"

Hate her?

Yan Mobai stroked the girl's smooth hair and did not answer for a long time.

He couldn't tell whether he hated Qian Qiuxue or not...but as for disappointment, he was indeed extremely disappointed in her.

Having been with a gorgeous woman for ten years, even if he never fell in love with her, he had at least some romantic thoughts about her. He was not obsessed with beauty, but he was a man after all, and he would be much closer to a stunningly beautiful woman than a woman with pockmarks on her face.

Because of this, he was able to persist in the task of neutralizing the poison for ten years without any slackness. Once upon a time, he truly regarded Qian Qiuxue as his confidante.

On every full-moon night, Yan Mobai could feel Qian Qiuxue's loneliness and the slight fragility hidden deep in her heart from her seemingly endless confessions. He always sympathized with her, so he would patiently listen to every word she said.

Ten years later, Yan Mobai thought he had understood Qian Qiuxue. She was supposed to be a lunatic who was insane because of the poison, but now that the poison was gone, she was supposed to be just a lonely woman.

He thought that what he did could save her from her tragic fate, and that doing so would make it easier to change the cult and nip the final war in the bud.

But the reality was completely opposite to what he hoped to see.

Qian Qiuxue was originally destined to fall into madness...how much of it came from the poison, and how much of it came from herself?

If he hadn't helped her back then, would Jiuzhou not be in turmoil, and would he not have been turned into a mortal and imprisoned in the mountains...

Today's result is completely different from what we planned back then.

Yan Mobai sighed, feeling that it was fate that was playing tricks on him. Perhaps this was what the ancients had said... the price of using forbidden techniques.

Anyone who misuses forbidden techniques will eventually be abandoned by Heaven, lose his luck, and be plagued by disasters.

In the past he didn't believe that there really was a law of nature in the world, but now looking back, he has to believe it a little.

Chapter 26: Six Days Passed in a Flash

Does the leader hate the master?

The girl buried in Yan Mobai's chest raised her face slightly, revealing her big light purple eyes, and secretly looked at his expression.

Seeing that Yan Mobai still had no reaction, she muttered softly: "If I were the leader, I would definitely hate Master to death."

Not to mention anything else, the mere fact that a hundred years of cultivation was destroyed in one day is enough reason for one person to hate another person to the core.

Yan Mobai pinched her soft face and said, "There are thousands of emotions in people's minds. Just talking about hatred is too monotonous. Besides, if there was no Qianqiu Sect Master, how could you have met me?"

The girl felt pain from being pinched and sat up.

She covered her face and glared at Yan Mobai, "Why was it me who met the leader, instead of the leader meeting me?"

If you swap the positions of "you" and "I" in the leader's words, it can obviously become a love word that can make a girl's heart melt...

It would be nice if it were so, but the leader doesn’t say that.

"Didn't you come to my house on your own that day? You came to my house, so it was you who met Yan, not Yan who met you."

The girl choked, unable to find a reason to refute, but unwilling to admit defeat, she simply abandoned the truth: "But, the leader was kidnapped all the way from Central Continent, shouldn't it be me that the leader met!"

"I was kidnapped, but I never thought I would be kidnapped here. But you came to me on your own initiative."

"I don't care! The leader just doesn't want to see me! He doesn't want to meet me! Oh, this hurts my heart!"

The girl glared at the man in front of her angrily, stretched out her hand and pressed it on his face, about to rub it in revenge.

"Is my face nice to pinch?"

The white-haired boy looked at her with a smile, without resistance. The gentleness in his dark eyes seemed to be able to turn all the worries and troubles in her heart into water.

"Master..."

Seeing him like this, Li Yulo pressed her white and tender little hands on his face blankly, and couldn't bear to make trouble.

She bit her lower lip, felt his body temperature with her fingertips, and gently stroked the boy's face. Then she couldn't help but lower her body and gave him a deep kiss.

The beautiful light purple eyes are very close to the black pupils.

Until now, Li Yulo still cannot forget the pair of haggard eyes of the leader when he walked out of the temple.

……

In the next few days, Yan Mobai would be summoned to the palace by the sect master every morning. He would be escorted all the way from the outer gate to the inner gate, to the main hall to dissolve the poison, and finally be taken back by Lin Luan in the evening.

In order to dissolve the poison, he has been able to meditate and practice for two incense sticks every day these days with the spiritual energy from the top of Yuheng Mountain.

After all, Yuheng Mountain is one of the seven immortal mountains, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich. During these two incense sticks of time, even if the efficiency of cultivation is not as ideal as expected due to the erosion of the mind by the poison, it is still equivalent to the results of practicing day and night in the outer sect for several days.

By the fifth day, Yan Mobai's body refining skills had barely reached the level comparable to the late stage of Yuan Building.

Most Jindan cultivators practice in sects and rarely walk among the mortal world. Cultivators in the later stages of Yuanjiu can be said to be the highest combat power among the mortal world. As long as they do not provoke the major sects, they can dominate one side.

But compared with Yan Mobai's previous cultivation, the mere late stage of Yuan Building is nothing at all.

Today is the sixth day, and also the second to last day of Qian Qiuxue’s expedition to the Western Regions.

Yan Mobai followed Lin Luan and came to Yuheng Mountain again.

Perhaps it was because the big hand that day scared many people. Now, whenever he came to the mountain gate, the disciples would avoid him from afar and dare not even look at him, as if there was something terrible sticking to him.

Lin Luan stood at the foot of the mountain and did not go up immediately.

"Master Yan." She suddenly spoke.

Lin Luan has been taking care of Yan Mobai for so long, but she has never spoken on her own initiative. Today is the first time.

"Tomorrow I will follow the Sect Master to conquer the Western Regions." She mentioned two people casually, "Among the inner disciples, except for the eldest sister and the second brother, everyone else will go with us."

Yan Mobai's expression changed slightly. With Lin Luan's identity, there was no need for her to tell him these things. Perhaps there was another meaning behind it.

He thought about it, but in the end he didn't ask about the meaning of the second half of the sentence, and only said: "Junior Brother Lin has great merits and deeds, and he will definitely gain a lot of merits this time."

"Thank you for your kind words, Master." The coldness in Lin Luan's eyes melted a little, but she still looked expressionless. "Goodbye today. I hope I can see you again one day in the future."

The Righteous Alliance had a large number of people and was powerful, so it would be no problem for them to defeat the Witch Tribe. However, the witches in the Witch Tribe had many magical skills, and poison was only one of them. If they were not careful, they might die in disgrace. Even Lin Luan, who was at the Yuantai Realm, could not guarantee that he could survive the war.

Yan Mobai nodded and said, "That day will definitely come."

Lin Luan looked at him quietly. After a few breaths, she suddenly waved her sleeves, and a halo of light enveloped the white-haired boy and flew into the sky.

When Yan Mobai regained his vision, the majestic sect master's hall was already in front of him.

He turned his head and looked back. The grass was empty and there was no trace of Lin Luan.

"Come in." A cold voice came from the hall.

The door of the palace was wide open, and Yan Mobai walked in, seeing Qian Qiuxue sitting on a cushion with an incense burner lit beside her. There was still no hairpin on her head, and her silver hair fell from her waist and scattered all over the ground.

Yan Mobai glanced at the top of her head, then sat down next to the mat.

The two did not talk like they did the previous two times. Firstly, there was nothing to talk about, and secondly, Yan Mobai did not want to say anything extra to her.

The whole process was simplified a lot. He held the other person's wrist that was stretched out consciously, and used his mind to dissolve the poison as usual.

About an hour later, Yan Mobai let go of his hand, his shirt soaked with cold sweat.

It took seven days, and finally all the poison was eliminated... He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Thanks to the torture of the poison, every day of the first six days was like a year.

Fortunately, there wasn't much poison left, the time was relatively short, and the amount of poison he absorbed wasn't too much, so apart from his pale face, he was fine.

Yan Mobai took a breath and said, "The poison has completely dissipated. Before the next full moon, the sect master does not need to worry about the poison invading the Western Regions. You can rest assured to conquer the Western Regions."

Qian Qiuxue closed her eyes to sense the condition of her body. When she opened her eyes, her expression was much more relaxed.

"That disciple came to me yesterday and asked me to take you to various places in the sect."

She stood up from the mat and said softly, "Master, it is a great achievement to have eliminated the poison. Today, I took the initiative to accept it on behalf of the sect."

As soon as she finished speaking, a jade token flew out from her sleeve and landed in Yan Mobai's palm.

"I will temporarily lend you this talisman until sunset today. It will keep you two safe."

"In that case, I would like to thank you, Sect Master." Yan Mobai held the jade token, with no emotion visible on his face.

He turned and walked out the door.

Qian Qiuxue stood under the statue and watched the white-haired boy walk along the path of light projected from the temple gate.

His figure gradually blended into the dazzling sunlight at the door, disappearing just like Mr. Bai blended into the moonlight in front of the window. The door of the hall slowly closed as his figure disappeared, leaving Qian Qiuxue alone in the hall.

Chapter 27: Suzaku City

It was the first time that Yan Mobai saw Li Yulo with such a happy expression.

She repeatedly stroked the light blue jade token in her hand, feeling dizzy and the corners of her pink lips curled up unconsciously.

"Master really agreed!" The girl raised her head, her eyes bright, "Master, we can go out and play!"

"Ever since I walked all the way from the outer gate to the inner gate last time, everyone in the outer gate knows me. It would be a bit unreasonable for you to go out and play with me..." Yan Mobai hesitated to speak.

The two had had too many interactions in front of other people. Although no one has guessed anything yet, perhaps someone has already had a vague premonition.

As long as the two of them interact more, this premonition will gradually turn into suspicion, and then evolve into a certain presumption.
