Chapter 295: King Avoiding His Morning Court?
Chapter 295: King Avoiding His Morning Court?
This kiss lasted for quite some time.
Qiu Wuji boldly pressed her disciple against the pillar and passionately kissed him.
Actually, Chu Ge was right; she also felt that this was the most touching love.
Chu Ge had always been helping her break free, while she helped Chu Ge control the world. Their desires seemed to be in opposition, but both of them were finding ways to assist each other.
This feeling was contradictory yet beautiful.
It was so beautiful that it made one’s heart race and clouded one’s thoughts about what would happen in the end. They simply wanted to savor this moment of love and release the passion within them.
Only when she felt a bit breathless did she contentedly release Chu Ge. She lazily turned away and went to embrace her zither. “You can take a break today, no need to push yourself too hard.”
Chu Ge stood there, still dazed, looking at her retreating figure. His heart was still racing. In fact, the current Qiu Wuji, compared to the previous one who carried herself so seriously and sternly, was much more alluring…
It seemed like she had a revelation, unlocking her charm code.
Her hidden allure was displayed uninhibitedly in front of him. The matured scent of roses intoxicated him.
What was killing him was that she was becoming more and more provocative. The look back and the light smile before entering the room could make a person’s bones turn to jelly.
Wuwu, it felt like he had lost control and was now being manipulated by her.
Had Qiuqiu always been thinking about taking control in this world, how to lead, and how to control people? She had finally figured it out…
Qiu Wuji stood in the room, looking at Chu Ge acting foolishly outside through the window. She smiled like a sly little fox who had successfully stolen something.
Actually, she didn’t intentionally figure things out… It was just that spring had arrived, and this secluded life they led together, like a couple, satisfied her dream. She even wanted to be affectionate with him. How to be affectionate? Did she have to be teased by him like outside the book? It’s better to take the initiative herself.
And she discovered that this behavior is the most natural. Indeed, why force it?
Now she felt relaxed and comfortable in her actions, enjoying the ease of this kind of relationship. She was also happy that her little disciple, Chu Chu, was so cute. Moreover, strictly speaking, his spiritual form won’t be able to do certain things… Thinking about this, Qiu Wuji felt even happier and found him adorable.
She thought for a moment and instructed her alternate self to open the comment section, maliciously leading with a comment, “Chu Chu~ my Chu Chu~”
Watching the group of crazy fans repeating the phrase in the comments, Qiu Wuji laughed, both in this world and in reality.
Chu Ge walked in, feeling a bit confused.
Qiu Wuji concealed her smile, calmly spreading out her papers, and began sketching. “It’s late at night, you should go meditate and practice.”
“I found that practicing sword techniques might be more beneficial than meditation today.”
“Balancing work and rest is essential. You should rest.”
“I can read… the scriptures in the Scrolls Tower.”
Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Makes sense.”
She felt even happier. After all, which teacher wouldn’t like a diligent disciple like him?
“Do you have any scriptures you want to read?” Qiu Wuji asked enthusiastically. “Tell me which one, and I’ll bring it to you.”
Look at that ‘I’m very powerful, I can get anything you want’ attitude, Chu Ge found Qiuqiu’s behavior quite adorable. “I’m not sure what to read now. You decide for me.”
“Alright…” Qiu Wuji tilted her head, thinking for a moment. “How about reading other sects’ sword techniques and the analyses of our predecessors on them?”
“Sure!”
Thousands of books were piled on top of Chu Ge, burying him completely.
Chu Ge: “?”
Qiu Wuji chuckled. “After reading all of these, you should be ready to enter the fourth level of the Sword Trial Cave.”
Struggling to emerge from the books, Chu Ge said, “But, Master, I won’t have many days left. I can’t finish reading all of these.”
Qiu Wuji paused for a moment, feeling an unexpected surge of reluctance. Even though they would still be together outside the book, it felt like a parting.
Indeed, it was a parting in a way because their interactions in the real world were different. If this side was like immortal companions, the other side was like a married couple in the mortal world… Well, that was also nice.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and said calmly, “Read as much as you can. You can always come back in the future. Take your time and enjoy reading. There’s no rush.”
In fact, she was implying that they could write, paint, play the flute, and enjoy leisure time together. She wondered if Chu Ge understood her hidden message.
Her eyes sparkled as she added, “If you perform well these days, there will be a reward.”
Chu Ge, of course, understood her, and he understood her very well.
Qiuqiu had a bit of a playful side, whether in the book or outside it. Did she think she could hide it from her disciple, who knew her so well?
In the real world, it was equivalent to saying, “Don’t be all about work,” “Go shopping with me,” or “Play games with me.” Since there were no games here, qin, qi, shu, and hua (zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting) were the equivalent of nerdy games.
…
Hiding among the flowers, trimming the branches, and peering out through the branches, Xuan Ji could clearly see the Sect Master and the junior martial uncle sitting side by side at the pavilion, yes, side by side, so close that their arms were almost touching…
She could swear this was exactly the same as the way she used to spy on senior brothers and sisters dating in the sect.
Look at the junior martial uncle taking out a flute to play, and the Sect Master reaching over to adjust his finger positions. Their gestures were so ambiguous… They seemed to completely disregard her presence and act as if she were not there at all…
Xuan Ji watched in horror as the Sect Master took the flute from the junior martial uncle and demonstrated how to play it, even putting her lips on the mouthpiece. Didn’t you know that the junior martial uncle had just played it?!
Xuan Ji regretted applying to stay behind. Until now, this couple had been somewhat discreet, but after her application, they became increasingly shameless. She even wondered if she might be silenced.
Yes, clever Xuan Ji knew her mission was to play dumb and help the Sect Master cover things up.
“Um, Elder Zhou, please wait a moment. The Sect Master is in seclusion, and I need to inform her.”
“…I clearly heard flute music. How can she be in seclusion?”
“Oh, that was played by the junior martial uncle, not the Sect Master.”
“In that case, hurry and inform her. Send a message to Yunxiao City that something strange has been discovered in the world…”
After a moment, Xuan Ji rushed back. “The Sect Master said she knows and it’s within the storyline.”
Elder Zhou: “?”
Why did this feel a bit like a king avoiding his morning court?
And what storyline?
He lowered his voice and asked Xuan Ji, “So, how is the direct disciple’s cultivation going? I heard he can stay in the Sword Trial Cave on the third level for most of the night?”
Xuan Ji shook her head vigorously, like a tambourine being shaken. “I don’t know, Elder. On the surface, the junior martial uncle appears to be at the Foundation Building stage, but when we sparred yesterday, I fared even worse than before. I almost defeated him in our previous sparring sessions, but yesterday, he caught me with just three moves…”
“Restraining you with three moves…” Elder Zhou sized up Xuan Ji with a surprised expression.
Xuan Ji is one of the most outstanding among the younger generation. Is the supposed incarnation of Heavenly Dao really so awesome?
He lowered his voice again, “How did he practice? Did he undergo some special initiation? This doesn’t make sense…”
Xuan Ji replied, “I asked the junior martial uncle how he practiced, and he said it’s 99% sweat and 1% talent.”
Elder Zhou chuckled, “Nonsense. Sometimes that 1% is more important, just like you.”
Xuan Ji added, “That’s exactly what I told junior martial uncle.”
“Oh? How did he respond to you?”
“He said that at this level, there’s still the 0.01%, which is even more formidable. Sixty thousand people can’t move him… I didn’t quite understand.”
Elder Zhou didn’t understand either.
The four eyes of one elder and one junior were spinning in circles, and Qiu Wuji’s faint voice came from the distance, “Elder Zhou, has Chu Tiange returned yet?”
Elder Zhou hastily replied, “He went with Xie Yun’er from Yunxiao City to find the giant first.”
Qiu Wuji’s voice had a hint of amusement, “I see.”
“Elder, about this matter…”
“When the Red Flame Dragon’s hellfire rises from the purgatory, and the Nine-Headed Serpent roars in the southern region, marking the awakening of the dragon and serpent on land, someone will come to issue a challenge… For now, these are meaningless. Recall the disciples outside, let them cultivate well, and prepare for battle.”
Elder Zhou found it increasingly profound and enigmatic, “What about Chu Tiange? Should we ask him to return?”
“He’s an exception. He may leap into the abyss and cannot be restrained.”
Elder Zhou left the scene, feeling puzzled. The Sect Master didn’t use to engage in divination like this. He wondered when she had started acting so mysteriously. Could this be the behavior of a powerful figure who has been studying the way of heaven recently?
He couldn’t imagine that the Sect Master was resting on the shoulder of the Heavenly Dao, twirling dewdrops on the flower petals ahead, muttering, “You have to return, huh…”
“There’s another reason I have to go back…”
“What is it?”
“You’ve been teasing me all the time. If I don’t return soon, I’m afraid I’ll be suffocated to death.”
