Hearing a knock at the door, Xiao Miao's usually expressive eyes narrowed, and she spoke:

"Please come in."

She was dressed in a simple green robe, and her face looked exceptionally beautiful in the moonlight, though she seemed a little cautious and guilty.

"Master."

Xiao Miao spoke calmly, though his tone was rather indifferent.

Upon hearing this cold tone, Yun Yun immediately stepped forward.

"Xiao Miao, Master didn't mean it. I will never do it again."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Miao couldn't help but ask in return:

"Then this disciple would like to ask Master, what is your intention in sealing my battle qi, locking me in that secret chamber, and doing this to me?"

Upon hearing Xiao Miao's question, Yun Yun lowered her head slightly and could only beg for forgiveness.

Seeing his master in this state, Xiao Miao's heart softened.

"There won't be a next time, Master."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's face, which had been slightly worried, instantly lit up with joy. She quickly walked towards his bed and then hugged Xiao Miao tightly.

Xiao Miao tried to push him away, but found that he was holding her too tightly, so she could only sigh helplessly.

"Xiao Miao, let's not be master and apprentice anymore, okay?"

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Miao was astonished. Was she going to expel him from the sect?

"Let's become Daoist partners, and I'll love you dearly, okay?"

As Yun Yun spoke, her body, which had been tightly embracing Xiao Miao, moved upwards little by little. With the last sentence, Yun Yun's red lips were already close to Xiao Miao's ear, appearing extremely intimate. To onlookers, they would probably look like a pair of Daoist lovers making out.

Xiao Miao felt Yun Yun's subtle movements and his body stiffened. Why was his master here again? He shouldn't have been soft-hearted just now.

Both of them blushed, but Yun Yun was excited while Xiao Miao was shy.

This time, Yun Yun's embrace wasn't as tight as before, so Xiao Miao quickly pushed her away a little distance, making their faces face to face.

Looking at Yun Yun's exquisite face, and seeing his own reflection reflected in her pupils, he couldn't help but look away.

"OK?"

Looking at Xiao Miao's appearance, Yun Yun suppressed her desire to push him down and asked him questions again and again, but her tone was so gentle that it was as if she was flirting with her lover.

Xiao Miao steadied himself, his eyes darting around, but his words remained firm.

"I'm sorry, Master, I only have respect for you, not romantic feelings."

When Xiao Miao said these words, for some reason, a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. His eyes were wide and blank, but he ignored the expression on Yun Yun's beautiful face.

Yun Yun, who had been all smiles, froze and turned cold upon hearing Xiao Miao's words of rejection. Her eyes, which had been filled with affection, began to flash with rage. Clearly, the rejection from her beloved had made her lose control of her reason.

She slowly began to embrace Xiao Miao again, her right hand channeling her battle qi, gently pressing it towards his back, finally pausing slightly, but only an inch away, while simultaneously saying:

"Is it really not possible? Can't you give me a chance? I promise I'll do my best."

“Master, I... I don’t have that idea yet, and right now I should focus on cultivation, isn’t that what you said before?”

Yun Yun was interrupted before she could finish her last words, her voice tinged with apology.

As expected of her Xiao Miao, even her rejection is so gentle. It's just a pity that she doesn't like being rejected, especially by the person in front of her. It seems she'll have to resort to her old methods.

"This is all your fault. It's alright, Xiao Miao. I will love you well. We'll have Master give us a grand wedding, and we'll be together forever. No one can stop us from being together."

With that thought in mind, Yun Yun no longer hesitated and slowly placed her hand on Xiao Miao's back.

Just then, Yun Yun's face, which was about to flash with joy, suddenly froze. Yun Yun looked to her right hand and saw that her wrist was being held by another hand. A slow stream of fighting spirit flowed through her, but it blocked her sealing technique.

Looking further, the owner of the hand was none other than Xiao Miao.

"Master, I won't fall for that a second time. I need to rest now. Please come again tomorrow."

Xiao Miao is now at the peak of the Dou Wang level, and his perception has been greatly enhanced compared to his previous Dou Ling stage. How could Yun Yun's little tricks escape his notice?

When he saw that the man was about to use the same trick again, he had no choice but to stop him, as he didn't want it to happen again.

At the same time, he calmly issued an order to leave, but inwardly he blamed himself for being so soft-hearted. Now look what happened, his master is still a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I know my writing isn't very good, just so-so, but I still hope someone can read my book. Since I can't keep more people reading it, I can only accept it as it is and try to make a living.

—The heartfelt words of a struggling author.

Chapter 49 Yun Yun's True Feelings

Seeing Xiao Miao's unyielding attitude, Yun Yun had no choice but to gradually retreat. However, before leaving, she turned back every three steps, as if hoping that he would ask her to stay.

Even after he left, Xiao Miao simply sat quietly on the bed, watching him go without uttering a single word.

Yun Yun felt wronged, but could only mutter something and leave, completely forgetting what she had said before.

Seeing that he had completely left the room, Xiao Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief. His relationship with his master couldn't continue like this; it seemed he had to find a way to resolve it.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and the weather was fine and sunny.

"What? Xiao Miao, you just got back yesterday and you're leaving already? Is it me?"

Yun Yun was interrupted by Xiao Miao before she could finish speaking.

"It has nothing to do with Master. I just haven't been back to the Xiao family for a long time and wanted to go back for a visit. It just so happens that the family's coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days."

"But this is too rushed. I'll go with you."

"No need, disciple can go on his own, there's no need for master to accompany me."

"It's alright. Now that Master has emerged from seclusion, there's no need for me to manage the Yunlan Sect anymore. From now on, I can stay with you."

Looking at Yun Yun like this, Xiao Miao couldn't find a reason to stop for a moment.

On the contrary, Yunshan figured it out. No wonder he couldn't wait to hand over the management rights to him yesterday afternoon. So that's what he was thinking.

As Yun Yun's master, how could he not see her feelings for Xiao Miao?

However, after their clash yesterday, although Yun Yun spoke to both of them, her eyes immediately turned to Xiao Miao. The worry in her eyes broke his heart; his disciple was gone just like that.

However, it seems that his grand-disciple has no special feelings for his disciple.

Therefore, he suggested that they stay and have a good talk to find out how things have been going over the years.

"In that case, Yun'er, you should stay. With his strength, who in the Jia Ma Empire can pose a threat to him?"

Before Yunshan could finish speaking, he saw Yunyun's exquisite face already displaying a resentful expression as she looked at him, which made him sigh inwardly:

"Girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up."

Although Yun Yun really wanted to go with Xiao Miao, she had no choice but to obey since her master had spoken. After all, she would need his approval for the wedding in the future, and she could go to the Xiao family to find him in a while anyway.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Miao nodded to Yun Shan with a hint of gratitude before leaving.

"Master, why did you ask me to stay?"

"Don't you have anything to explain?"

Seeing Yun Yun, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly turn cold and adopt a resentful tone, Yun Shan's lips twitched involuntarily as he spoke to her.

Upon hearing this, Yunyun recounted the events of the past few years to Yunshan.

As Yunyun recounted her experiences over the past few years, Yunshan grew increasingly shocked, eventually falling silent.

He felt like he had wasted his life. Calculating his age, Xiao Miao should be around 15 years old now, only tall because of his cultivation of Dou Qi.

A 15-year-old at the peak of the Dou Wang realm? He would probably have a place in the Central Plains, a place where geniuses compete fiercely.

With this thought in mind, Yunshan realized that with such an unparalleled genius in their Yunlan Sect, their rise to power was inevitable.

Upon hearing about Xiao Miao's disappearance, Yun Shan's expression changed, as he recalled the words spoken by the two mysterious experts in the underground chamber.

He had initially thought it was Nalan Yanran, but now it clearly looked like Xiao Miao.

Thinking of this, Yunshan couldn't help but swallow hard. Recalling the scene at that time, he still felt a little scared. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell Yunyun about it.

"Tell me, what exactly happened between you and him? Others may not know, but I do. I don't remember when the Yunlan Sect had a teleportation array. Don't try to fool me. Don't think I don't know that you went into his room last night."

Upon hearing Yun Shan's words, Yun Yun's expression changed, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that she was hesitant. She hadn't expected that her master would see it. Since she couldn't hide it any longer, she thought for a moment and then blurted it out.

Yunyun then recounted the whole story in detail, and Yunshan felt his blood pressure spike after listening.

Looking at the disciple he had raised since childhood, Yunshan felt a sense of unfamiliarity. He had only been in seclusion for a few years, so why had he become like this?

Although he had already seen through Yun Yun's feelings for Xiao Miao, he never expected her to do such a thing. Was she really not afraid of driving her away? In that case, it would be all for naught, and he would have nowhere to turn to cry.

After hearing Yun Yun's words, Yun Shan felt a wave of exhaustion. His disciple used to be so obedient, how could she have changed like this? Could love really make people change so much?

But what worried him the most was Xiao Miao. If he remembered correctly, the person in the secret room had mentioned that "this is the person Miss is looking for." Thinking of that boy's stunningly beautiful appearance, Yun Shan couldn't help but wonder if this was another romantic entanglement he had gotten into.

Unfortunately, Yunshan didn't know that if he had God's perspective, he would have actually guessed correctly.

At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma: on one hand, there was the happiness of his disciple, and on the other hand, he was wary of the background of the woman behind Xiao Miao.

If Xiao Miao were simply a disciple of their Yunlan Sect, that would be perfect. The Yunlan Sect could rely on the powerful background behind him. But Yun Yun has developed inappropriate feelings for him. If the woman behind Xiao Miao finds out about his terrifying background, then no one could stop her from destroying the Yunlan Sect.

Yunshan felt increasingly troubled as he thought about it. It seemed that it wasn't just beautiful women who caused trouble; handsome men could also cause trouble.

After much thought, he could only sigh heavily. From his master's perspective, he naturally hoped that his disciple could be happy, but he could not ignore the Yunlan Sect.
