[・_・?]
Chen Mo stared blankly at Ye Henshui.
He never expected this girl to have such guts, daring to make such a move in front of Ji Lianxing!
"Hmm..."
"Holy Daughter, it seems not quite like what you said..."
Ye Henshui bit her lip lightly, her body slightly trembling, pain evident between her brows.
"Take a deep breath, the pain is normal... Hmm?"
Seeing her pale face, Gu Manzhi realized sothing was wrong, checked her attentively, and her expression stiffened slightly, "Junior sister, you seem to have missed the mark..."
???
Question marks filled Ye Henshui’s face.
"I say..."
"Have you two had enough?"
Ji Lianxing’s deep voice resounded: "As core disciples, the sect had high expectations of you, yet you commit such disgraceful acts with a man... Truly disappointing for your teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Henshui’s face turned even paler.
Gu Manzhi remained unfazed and said calmly, "Isn’t this what the master wanted to see?"
Ji Lianxing frowned and said, "When have I ever made you debase yourselves like this?"
Gu Manzhi shook her head and said, "Master had lurk in the Imperial Music Bureau, and I did, for two and a half years... This place is inherently filthy and sordid, committing disgraceful acts is normal, isn’t it?"
"..."
Ji Lianxing was montarily speechless, unsure how to retort.
Actually, deep within her heart, she felt guilty towards Gu Manzhi...
In terms of cultivation talent, Gu Manzhi was not inferior to those top Heavenly Prides, her path to immortality was bright, yet she had to sell laughter in this place of debauchery for the sect’s "revenge plan," entertaining those wretched n...
"Are you blaming your teacher?"
"Disciple wouldn’t dare."
Gu Manzhi looked directly at Ji Lianxing, her tone tinged with self-mockery, "However, when the master first learned of my relationship with Chen Mo, you weren’t this angry, even gifted many cultivation techniques, intending for to use my body to keep Chen Mo tightly bound..."
"To the master, I am but a tool to be used."
"The reason for your anger now isn’t that you think I degrade myself, but that you see I have no use left... Isn’t it?"
Ji Lianxing’s pupils slightly trembled.
She never expected her most cherished protege would say such words!
"I taught you the cultivation thod, raised you to adulthood, yet you think I only used you?" Ji Lianxing’s chest heaved, feeling a bout of suffocation.
"I too don’t want to think this way, but the master has beco increasingly unfamiliar to ."
Gu Manzhi stepped out of the bath, ca to Ji Lianxing, and said, "I am not a puppet, but a person of flesh and blood with my own emotions... Many tis, emotions cannot be restrained by reason."
"If the master wants to take action, you should kill first, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Mo from beginning to end."
Ji Lianxing’s expression grew darker, "Are you threatening your teacher?"
"I am serious," Gu Manzhi said fearlessly, "My constitution is unique, without master’s protection, I wouldn’t have survived until now, returning this life to master is only right."
"Holy Daughter..."
Ye Henshui was moved, then her gaze turned resolute.
With so difficulty, she stood up, staggered over to Gu Manzhi’s side.
Ji Lianxing glanced at her, "Henshui, do you think so too? That I am using you both?"
Ye Henshui lowered her head and said softly, "In my eyes, the master will forever be the master, that will never change... But, can you spare Mr. Chen once? I promise to listen carefully in the future..."
Ji Lianxing was silent for a mont upon hearing this, eyes turning to the man in the bath, coldly said, "Chen Mo, I truly underestimated you, to be able to make my two disciples infatuated... What thod did you use?"
Chen Mo remained indifferent throughout, leaning against the edge of the bath, his tone lazy: "Do you think I am as unscrupulous to achieve my goals as you? I simply gave my true heart."
"But this word must be quite unfamiliar to you, right?"
Ji Lianxing’s brow twitched slightly, her face chilling, "You really think I don’t dare kill you?"
"Then why don’t you try?"
Purple and gold light flickered in Chen Mo’s eyes, audaciously gazing at her, "The aura you emit now is entirely different from last ti... Suppressing your cultivation realm for fear of revealing your identity?"
"Not daring to unleash the power of the Grandmaster Realm, you really might not be my match."
"Ha."
Ji Lianxing’s red lips curled up in a sneer, "Arrogant, then let see how competent you truly are."
As soon as the words fell, her figure suddenly vanished.
The light in the bathroom dimd, as if shrouded in a misty fog, imdiately, a jade finger stretched out from the fog, pointing towards Chen Mo.
Bang!
Bright green light flashed, Chen Mo felt imnse force crash upon him, fiercely hitting his chest!
He flew backward like an arrow shot from a bow!
Until his back hit the wall, he barely steadied himself, a tallic taste filled his throat.
"My lord!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui scread in shock.
Yet they were bound by shadows, unable to move an inch.
Within the swirling fog, a pair of purple eyes appeared, like two silently burning dark flas, carrying scorn and mockery.
"You guessed correctly, I did suppress my cultivation to Fourth Rank, but so what?"
"Below Heavenly Person, all are ants, the gap between us is more than just a matter of realm..."
