The pain of a damaged soul is hundreds of times more than that of a damaged body. It comes from the soul and is irresistible. If an ordinary cultivator were to suffer from scars like those on Ji Qixue's body, he would probably faint from the pain.

But Ji Qixue didn’t.

Even her expression didn't change at all. She just snorted and stretched her sleeves to cover the wound on her arm.

Although her face was a little pale.

Ji Qixue looked at Wen Youqing silently. When she saw Wen Youqing bending down and kissing Jing Yan lightly, there was a complicated emotion in her eyes.

"Humph."

Finally, she snorted, lowered her head and stopped looking.

......

......

Wen Youqing seemed to be frightened by his own presumptuous behavior.

Her face flushed, and she quickly distanced herself from him, hooking her hands behind her back, thinking about something.

In fact, she had only known Jing Yan for a short time, but she felt so familiar with the man in front of her - this feeling was very strange.

Little by little, familiar memories of the past flowed through her mind. Wen Youqing blinked her eyes, and a light flashed in them.

I won't be discovered by my master if I do this, right?

No, no, no!

Wen Youqing shook her head. Master was just a mortal. This was the experience she had gained from so many timelines.

The master has no cultivation, he cannot practice, so naturally he cannot detect her little movements.

But why can’t Master cultivate?

Looking at Jingyan's sleeping face, Wen Youqing felt a little regretful in his heart. It would be great if the master could practice.

She couldn't even imagine how graceful and elegant her master would be if she was able to practice, dressed in white, with the breeze, bright moon, and long sword.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as she protects her master!

This time, failure is absolutely not allowed!

Because she is...Wen Youqing!

.......

Jingyan didn't know how he fell asleep.

So much so that he himself didn't even know it.

When Wen Youqing went to take a bath, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the fatigue in his body surged over him like a tide - he had never relaxed for a single day in the past twenty years and had been waiting for this day.

Although things didn't develop as I imagined, logically speaking, this is a normal transition, right?

It's just that Wen Youqing did give him a surprise, no, it was a shock. Wen Youqing's talent was extraordinary and terrifying. After repeating it so many times, she actually noticed something and used it to guide and change Wen Youqing in this timeline.

This talent might be even stronger than his.

Jing Yan smiled. He didn’t know whether this was a good thing or not, but as long as there was a change, it wouldn’t be that bad.

He lay on the bamboo chair and asked Ji Qixue:

"You said she would fail, but I don't think so."

Ji Qixue raised her eyebrows: "This is just your expectation as a master for your apprentice, but from my more comprehensive perspective, Wen Youqing can't actually change anything. The more you understand, the more powerless you become. In the end, you can only add to your sadness."

"Is that so?" Jing Yan sighed softly, "But I am still quite confident in my apprentice."

Ji Qixue was silent for a moment, defeated, and said helplessly: "Well, although I don't agree with your concept, the changes that have taken place this time are indeed unexpected to me... As for what will happen in the future, who knows?"

"Is your plan still going on as usual?"

"Don't worry."

Jing Yan smiled lightly: "Everything remains the same."

"Although I don't know what you are planning mysteriously, but..."

Ji Qixue paused and said, "I trust you more than I trust her."

"You are the key, and she is just a small variable."

“Shouldn’t you like the Mad Pope very much? Why are you slandering him like this?” Jing Yan asked in surprise. He always thought that Ji Qixue admired the Mad Pope very much. After all, she had planned so many things and tried every possible means. Wasn’t it to wake up the Mad Pope?

“That’s how it was at first.”

Ji Qixue did not deny it.

But now, after experiencing life and death again and again with Jingyan, her attitude has changed slightly.

She smiled and said:

"The Mad Pope is indeed powerful, but isn't the master who can teach the Mad Pope an even more powerful person?"

"Haha, this is the first time I see you praising me."

Jing Yan chuckled for a moment, and a feeling of tiredness suddenly came over him. He yawned and leaned back on the bamboo chair.

Now that the biggest worry is over, the days ahead will be easy - it’s okay to take a short break.

So he closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

"What do you mean it's the first time I praise you? I've said nice things about you before..."

Ji Qixue muttered softly, but did not wait for Jing Yan's response.

She looked at Jing Yan and suddenly found that he had closed his eyes at some point and fell asleep leaning on a bamboo chair. The boy's breathing was steady and he slept very soundly.

This was the first time he fell asleep after so many attempts, and he slept so peacefully.

Ji Qixue knew what Jingyan had been going through, so her expression softened and she whispered her blessings softly in Jingyan's ear.

"Good night, sweet dreams."

.......

It was a long sleep.

When Jingyan woke up, it was already daybreak - this was the first time he had not spent the night practicing.

But for some reason, my cultivation level kept improving and I passed the bottleneck without realizing it.

The spiritual energy surges like the tide, rising and falling. This is a symbol of refining the void.

Jingyan was in a good mood, but he suddenly thought of something and stood up quickly.

Where is Wen Youqing?

She was taking a shower before and we forgot to arrange a room for her. Does she know where to sleep?

Could this silly kid have stayed in the bathroom all night?

Jing Yan hurriedly went to the bathroom to check, but found that there was no one in the bathroom. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had thought of something, and came to Wen Youqing's previous room.

This is where she lived in the previous timeline.

I saw the girl lying on the bed, curled up in the quilt with her back to the scriptures, probably still sleeping.

So that’s fine.

Jing Yan stopped in his tracks. Wen Youqing was easier to deal with than he had imagined.

.......

Wen Youqing lay motionless under the quilt, the spiritual energy in her body flickering.

Terrifying!

It would be terrible if the master showed up so suddenly and found out that she was practicing!

That’s right, that night, Wen Youqing was practicing quietly but was not on guard against his master.

Master, I guess he hasn’t realized that he is practicing?

Wen Youqing's little face was full of vigilance.

Probably... no, right?

303. I don't want to disappoint my master again.

Wen Youqing’s cultivation speed is very fast.

Every night, she would practice diligently. Although she only practiced at night, her progress in cultivation was not much worse than that of the geniuses of her generation - but Wen Youqing did not become complacent, because she knew very well that this speed was still too slow.

It’s too slow, too slow... By the time I have cultivated to the point where I can compete with the Heavenly Dao, my master’s coffin will be cold.

Because of this, she was worried and thought about squeezing out some time during the day to practice quietly.

The person who best implemented this idea of ​​hers was her master, Jingyan.

If we were to say who has spent more time in cultivation than Wen Youqing, it would be Jing Yan.

His cultivation was much higher than Wen Youqing's, so even if he practiced in front of her, Wen Youqing would not be able to detect it. Even though Wen Youqing had experience from dozens of previous timelines, if Jing Yan wanted to hide it from her, she would not be able to detect it.

But in fact, the most important thing may be that Wen Youqing would never think of the two things of master and cultivation together. After all, the previous master was just a mortal. How could he have learned to practice cultivation without anyone knowing?

Jingyan's current cultivation has reached the level of Lianxu, but this Lianxu mirror is not stable. Jingyan's previous realm was tempered by real swords and spears, and now Lianxu is just a cultivation level, which seems a bit superficial.

If he could fight against enemies across a large realm in the past, now Jing Yan can only barely defeat enemies of two small realms.

But this raises a question.

Previously, his cultivation was at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he fought against the enemy across a major realm, so the enemy he fought against was at the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

However, his current cultivation level is at the initial stage of Refining Void, and he is fighting the enemy across two small realms, so the enemy he is fighting is still at the initial stage of Refining Void.

Then didn’t his cultivation level advance in vain?

Jing Yan had some doubts. He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After all, his cultivation had improved, which was a good thing no matter how he thought about it.

In short, the current situation is that Jing Yan knows that Wen Youqing is practicing without telling him, but he doesn't say it.

Wen Youqing thought that her master didn't know that she was practicing, so she used all her spare time to practice. Even if she didn't practice sometimes, she was worried about her master's unfortunate fate. Similarly - she didn't say anything.

Ji Qixue found it a little funny to see the master and disciple who seemed to be scheming against each other but were actually entangled in the path of cultivation.

This made her somewhat worried about the mental state of the master and disciple.

Jingyan spends much more time practicing than Wen Youqing. Except for the practice time at night, he has much more free time. However, Wen Youqing has to maintain his image as a good student, so he spends more energy than Jingyan.

"She has reached the foundation-building stage."

During the day, Wen Youqing was sitting in the private school studying. She held a bamboo tube in her hands, looking at the sage's words in it, and her brows were slightly wrinkled.

She already knew all this knowledge, and reading it now would be a waste of time.

Do you need to memorize such simple knowledge over and over again? Can't you remember it after reading it once?

She quietly glanced at the students reading around her - these were the children of Jingyan's neighbors. Jingyan was a private school teacher, so naturally he had to do the necessary disguise.

Of course, although these people were just smokescreens for Wen Youqing, he would not use these children for fun. He would still try his best to teach them knowledge, and his teachings would be more simple and easy to understand than those of ordinary private school teachers.

Listening to their stumbling reading sounds, Wen Youqing frowned even deeper.

Why can't they just watch it once and remember it?

She didn't have any objections, but she felt it was a waste of time. After all, the time for the Jingyan class was not fixed. The faster they learned, the earlier the private school would end, and Wen Youqing would have more time to practice.

Now that she had nothing to do, Wen Youqing avoided her gaze, glanced at the gentleman sitting on the podium, and pursed her lips.

Her practice speed was still too slow - this did not mean that her talent was stupid, but that she had too little time to practice every day.

When ordinary monks are in seclusion, they are not allowed to eat or drink, and can practice for twelve hours a day. However, Wen Youqing has to attend classes and pretend to have no knowledge of practice in front of scriptures. So the time he can use for practice is only six hours.

Her practice time is at least 50% slower than her retreat time!

Wen Youqing bit her lip and thought - if it really didn't work, she could take the risk and practice now.

As long as she pretends to be studying and multitasking, it is not a difficult task for her. The only thing she is worried about is whether Jing Yan will think that she is not studying seriously and thus reduce his favorability towards her?

Wen Youqing was hesitating.

But her master Jing Yan was absent-minded. He closed his eyes and discussed with Ji Qixue in the spiritual sea.
