Not long after.

The door of the box was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Su An walked in alone.

"You came?"

Sima Yue, who was standing in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and smiled.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Su An was in a trance for a moment.

He seemed to see the girl standing under the colorful lanterns and looking back with a smile on the Lantern Festival many years ago.

Seeing this, Sima Yue's pretty face smiled even more brightly.

Sure enough, this trick is effective.

The Book of Pampering Concubines never deceives me.

Su An came to his senses and realized that this was Sima Yue's trick.

However, he ignored it and asked directly.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so anxious to call me to meet you?"

He looked serious.

Su An really came to meet Sima Yue with the intention of solving the problem.

He still cares a lot about King Jinshan's affairs.

Although she acted relatively law-abidingly in her previous life, she was, after all, an eighth-level Yin object. Once she wanted to cause trouble, the damage she could cause would be immeasurable.

At least he should be imprisoned in the prison under the Star-Picking Tower of the Imperial Observatory to be safe.

If they want to find King Jinshan who has been hiding for a thousand years, Sima Yue is the key.

"Ah this..."

Looking at Su An's serious expression.

Sima Yue felt guilty.

She could certainly tell that he was serious.

But she didn't have anything important to discuss, she just wanted to meet him and talk to him from the bottom of her heart.

"That's right... I have some problems with my cultivation..."

Sima Yue coughed and said hesitantly.

"I just wanted to ask you..."

"what is the problem?"

Su An's attitude remained the same. He looked at Sima Yue with a serious expression hidden in his calmness.

The two of them didn't even sit down, they just stood there looking at each other.

Sima Yue suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.

"Can you sit down and talk? I'm a little nervous when you look at me like that."

Sima Yue said weakly.

Su An said nothing, but just sat down at the tea table nearby.

Sima Yue hurriedly sat down opposite him.

"Would you like some tea?"

Sima Yue picked up the teapot and consciously did the work of a water-carrying maid.

Seeing that Su An didn't say anything, Sima Yue took it as his consent and poured a cup of hot tea for both him and herself.

After pouring the tea, Sima Yue sat down again, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Then she spoke.

"I am now practicing the evil technique step by step according to Sima Yu's plan."

"I've told you about this evil technique before. It's similar to the Yin Shen Technique. Instead of defeating your opponent to absorb their power, you only need to absorb the Yin Sha Qi from a bead to become stronger."

"This technique doesn't have any other side effects, except that my progress is too fast. Combined with my extremely yin body, I'm almost breaking through to the middle stage of the second realm."

"It's really fast."

Su An nodded slightly.

After all, he is only in the middle stage of the second realm now, and this is the result of his practice for several months.

Sima Yue was almost catching up after only practicing for a dozen days.

Although he is proficient in both magic and martial arts, he can crush a weakling like Sima Yue in terms of combat power.

But this speed of cultivation is enough to make people astonished.

"So what do you want to tell me?"

Su An looked at Sima Yue.

Of course he knew that Sima Yue's cultivation speed was fast.

With an extremely yin body, Yin Sha Pearls, and an improved version of Yin Shen Fa, it would be strange if the cultivation was not fast with all these factors combined.

It’s just that the speed of cultivation is one thing, and the combat power at the same level is another.

If Sima Yue was his opponent, he probably wouldn't feel any pressure fighting a dozen people alone.

"You are indeed making rapid progress now, and at this rate, you won't encounter any bottlenecks until you reach the upper third realm. But you have to understand that after you deal with Queen Jinshan, you won't be able to practice evil techniques."

Su said indifferently.

"Of course I know that."

Sima Yue said.

You know, what is her purpose in practicing evil techniques?

It’s to get ashore, to get back to Su An.

Now that she has other better ways to achieve this goal, her evil cultivation is not worth mentioning.

What's more, her former and future father-in-law, Marquis of Shenwei Su Yan, is now Shadow's mortal enemy.

Under such circumstances, it is estimated that no one in the Su family can tolerate the presence of an evil cultivator in Su An's backyard.

"You just understand."

Su An nodded slightly and asked immediately.

"So what do you mean by 'important matters' to discuss with me?"

"This one……"

Seeing that Su An had no intention of chatting, he changed the subject again.

Sima Yue was at a loss for a moment.

She could only make up stories.

"Actually, I was thinking, what if... what if our plan drags on for longer and longer... never gets resolved, and I keep practicing, causing my evil cultivation to become higher and higher, what should I do then?"

"I'm afraid that by then, as an evil cultivator, I won't be qualified to return to you..."

Hearing this, Su An couldn't help but frown.

"Whether it's the evil way, the magic way or the martial way, as long as you haven't reached the upper three realms, it's easy to disperse your power."

"This is common sense in cultivation. I think you are aware of it."

Now Su An finally understood why Sima Yue had been hesitating and evasive, and finally asked this question.

In fact, she didn't have any "important business" at all, she just wanted to meet him.

Seeing that his purpose had been discovered, Sima Yue scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, I admit, I'm actually fine. I just miss you a little bit."

She held up her index finger and thumb, making a gesture of "just a little bit".

Su An's expression was calm, but his voice was a little colder.

"If this is the reason for meeting, I think it's unnecessary and just a waste of time."

"sorry!"

Seeing that Su An was a little angry, Sima Yue hurriedly said.

"I just missed you so much, and since you didn't have anything to do, I wanted to meet you."

"I didn't think it through."

"I was wrong. I won't do it again."

Sima Yue apologized while carefully observing Su An's expression.

Compared with the previous meeting, Sima Yue's attitude had changed greatly during this meeting.

From being unreasonable and stubborn to being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Become well-behaved, even flattering.

Su An was silent for a moment and passed over the matter.

“How are you these days?”

he asked.

"Not bad, she didn't notice me..."

Sima Yue talked about her recent situation.

Including how she deceived Sima Yu and how she kept it a secret from Xiao He and Xiao Lian.

In order to avoid Sima Yu's suspicion, she practiced even harder than before.

After listening, Su An nodded slightly and praised.

"Good, just keep it like this."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in through the vermilion window, and Sima Yue, who was sitting next to the window, had her long black hair blown into a mess.

She stood up and closed the window, combed her hair, then took out a hairpin and put it in her mouth, and put her hands behind her head.

Based on "The Self-cultivation of a Concubine".

Sometimes, soft and loose black hair can make a woman look more pure than a bun.

This is also the reason why Sima Yue did not tie her hair up.

But now it was windy outside, so she'd better tie her hair up with a hairpin to prevent it from being messed up by the wind.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Sima Yue paused with his hands behind his head.

She held the hairpin in her mouth and raised her head slightly to look at Su An.

She didn't say anything, but there was a certain anticipation on her pretty face.

"I'm leaving now, and you should hurry back too."

Su An turned a blind eye and when he saw that there was nothing else, he got up and left.

"OK."

Sima Yue smiled and responded obediently, as if she was not disappointed at all by being rejected. She quickly tied her hair up.

Su An pushed the door open and walked out.

As the door of the box was closed.

There was only one person left in the room.

Sima Yue's smile disappeared, and he seemed to collapse. He slumped down on the table and buried his head in his arms.

Just now in the carriage, she secretly watched Su An accompany Wang Shishi and Zhou Qingyu to choose jewelry.

Although Su An was not in a good mood.

But Sima Yue still saw that when the two were trying on hairpins, Su An was tying their hair with his own hands, and he had a smiling and affectionate look on his face.

Patient and gentle.

But when facing her, facing her expectations and begging, he was very indifferent and turned a blind eye.

I didn't even want to stay a little longer to chat with her.

This meeting was undoubtedly disappointing.

But in front of Su An, Sima Yue did not show it.

Because she knew that Su An now would not allow her to be willful in the slightest.

Sima Yue lay on the table in dejection, feeling a little aggrieved, and drew circles on the table with his fingers.

After lying down for a while.

I guessed that Su An had already arrived downstairs.

Sima Yue stood up again, got up and quickly walked to the window.

As expected, she saw the familiar figure on the street.

As if sensing the gaze, Su An turned his head away.

Sima Yue smiled at him as she did before, stretched out her hand and waved goodbye beside his ear.

Su An nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Sima Yue watched Su An leave until he gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd and could no longer be seen.

Sima Yue was still staring blankly at the direction where Su An left.

Although Su An is still cold towards her now.

But she believed that burning enthusiasm was enough to eliminate the barriers between them, and sincere heart could heal the cracks caused by mistakes.

She will atone for her sins.

“The future will be better.”

At this moment, the girl was sincerely looking forward to it in her heart.
