The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

In the inner hall, the light is soft and the desk stands quietly, simple and solemn.

At this time, it was time for Bai Yuan and Xu Wan to be alone together.

The two desks stand side by side, as if they are two partners fighting side by side, silently witnessing their every effort and growth.

Xu Wan sat in front of the desk, looking focused and nervous.

She held the brush in her hand and carefully outlined the talisman on the white paper.

However, her technique seemed clumsy, and every stroke of the pen seemed to be accompanied by a hint of hesitation.

Despite this, she did not give up, but continued to draw one picture after another. After completing each one, she handed it to Bai Yuan with great anticipation.

Bai Yuan gently placed the whisk on his left arm, elegantly holding the teacup in his right hand, and looked at Xu Wan with gentle eyes.

He took the talisman handed to him by Xu Wan, looked at it carefully, then shook his head slightly and put the talisman back on the table.

Xu Wan bit her lip, picked up the brush again and continued her attempt.

However, no matter how hard she tried, Bai Yuan just shook his head, with a gentle but slightly regretful smile always on his handsome face.

Finally, Xu Wan couldn't help but exclaimed, "I've practiced dozens of them, but not a single one is up to par!

Brother, did you do this on purpose?"

There was a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in her voice.

Hearing this, Bai Yuan's lips curled up into a warm smile.

He gently put down the teacup and said earnestly, "Jinglian, the art of talismans is not something you can achieve in a day.

Your senior brother... I also learned to draw talismans after a year of learning. It took me three whole months to successfully draw my first qualified talisman.

And you started learning to draw talismans on the first day. It seems that your master treats you differently.

Don’t be anxious, just calm down and paint. I believe you will find the feeling.”

Chen Xuan's voice suddenly rang out beside Xu Wan's ears, carrying an authority that could not be ignored: "Xiao Wan, you must not be rude to Mr. Bai Yuan."

The sound was like thunder, causing the fear in Xu Wan's heart to surge like a tide.

She suddenly looked up and her eyes fell on Chen Xuan who was standing in front of the desk.

Chen Xuan's face was serious, and his eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan quickly stood up and bowed to Chen Xuan, his behavior showing respect and humility.

Xu Wan also hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly, and said with a trembling voice: "Foster father, why are you here?"

Her heart was filled with confusion and anxiety, and she didn't understand why Chen Xuan suddenly appeared here.

Chen Xuan glanced at Xu Wan lightly, his eyes seemed to carry some blame and helplessness: "Father can hear your voice even at the statue of Taishang Laojun,

Xiao Wan, if you don't want to learn, then go back with your father."

His words were concise and clear, yet they revealed an irresistible power.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan became even more frightened.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then walked to the tea table beside her.

He carefully selected an exquisite teacup, poured a cup of fragrant tea, and offered it with both hands, with a look of filial piety: "Foster father, please have some tea."

Her movements were gentle and respectful, as if she was trying to make up for her previous mistakes.

Chen Xuan took the teacup, drank it all, and then handed the teacup to Xu Wan.

Xu Wan took the teacup and secretly rejoiced, thinking that her adoptive father had calmed down.

However, she did not dare to relax at all and quickly said, "Godfather, I'll pour you another glass."

As she spoke, she picked up the teapot again and carefully filled Chenxuan's cup with tea.

While pouring tea, Xu Wan prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her adoptive father would not whip her because of her filial piety.

She was well aware of her mistakes and understood that Chen Xuan's strictness was intended to help her grow better.

Chen Xuan took a few sips of tea, savoring the light tea fragrance, and then placed the cup elegantly on the tea table beside him.

His eyes were deep and focused, as if he could see through everything. At this moment, he was staring at Xu Wan quietly.

Xu Wan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She blinked, with a look of confusion and puzzlement in her eyes.

She asked softly, "Godfather, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer immediately, but continued to look at Xu Wan with his deep eyes.

He seemed to be thinking about some important issue, which made Xu Wan even more confused about his thoughts.

Chen Xuan found it increasingly difficult to understand what this cat was thinking.

Today, she actually blatantly fabricated lies in front of everyone.

She claimed that Yun Che often beat and whipped her, and even pretended to cry, completely erasing the deep feelings they once had.

What was even more shocking was that Mu Qing actually believed her words and treated her as a friend.

Chen Xuan turned to Bai Yuan and ordered, "Bai Yuan, quickly order someone to carefully prepare some high-quality refreshments and send them to Mu Qing.

In order to pray for his wish to be fulfilled, the child had been kneeling in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun for almost a day.

I guess you must be hungry and thirsty right now..."

Bai Yuan bowed deeply to Chen Xuan, his eyes full of respect and determination, then he took a step forward without hesitation and walked away.

Xu Wan's eyes followed Bai Yuan's departing back, her heart filled with worry and reluctance.

She turned her head and pleaded with Chen Xuan, "Foster father, why don't I go see Mu Qing and try to persuade her."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, his expression serious and earnest: "Sit down and practice drawing talismans well.

Everyone has his or her own path and choices. Mu Qing has no destiny. This is destined.

And you have it, it is your luck and also your responsibility.

You cannot give up your practice just because of a moment of sympathy and pity."

After saying that, Chen Xuan walked directly to the seat where Bai Yuan had just sat, sat down slowly, his eyes deep and distant, as if he was thinking about something.

After hearing what Chen Xuan said, Xu Wan still felt a little unwilling and disappointed, but she also understood that what her adoptive father said made sense.

She sat down dejectedly, picked up a piece of spotless white paper, picked up a pen, and began to practice drawing talismans with great concentration.

The tip of the pen danced lightly on the paper, outlining smooth and complex runes.

Xu Wan immersed herself in it with full concentration, and gradually, her mind became calm and focused, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

Chen Xuan watched Xu Wan's serious expression and nodded secretly in his heart.

He knew very well that the path of spiritual practice was long and arduous, and only by maintaining inner peace and concentration could he go further on this path.

"It seems that Mu Qing doesn't have Dao affinity, but you do. This is your advantage, but also your challenge.

You can’t be lazy, and you can’t be swayed by external temptations.”

Chen Xuan's voice sounded in Xu Wan's ears, reminding her like an alarm bell.

Xu Wan nodded gently, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Thank you for your teachings, foster father. I will definitely keep it in mind."

After saying that, she took another piece of spotless white paper and began to draw the talisman with great concentration.

Chen Xuan looked at Xu Wan quietly. She was wearing a white Taoist robe.

Her long hair was carefully tied into a bun with an exquisite hairpin inserted in it, which made her look more dignified and beautiful.

At this moment, she was concentrating on drawing talismans, with a focused and serious expression.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart, and he slowly spoke,

His voice was deep and firm: "Xiao Wan, since you have entered the Dao Sect, you have nothing to do with Yun Che from now on.

You must remember your identity and mission and not be tied down by your children's personal affairs.

If I find out that you two are still secretly together, I will punish you severely and show no mercy."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan paused slightly with the pen in her hand, but then continued to paint firmly.

She knew that she had made her choice and must stick to it.

And their love will surely be blessed by everyone.
