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

When night falls, the earth is shrouded in a deep darkness.

It was the turn of autumn and winter, and the cold wind was like a sharp blade, raging on the towering peak of the Nine Yang Divine Sect, as if to deprive all life.

On this cold night, on the Bagua platform, True Man Jiuyang was looking solemn, holding a ruler in his hand, hitting Xu Wan's fair palm again and again.

The sound of the ruler hitting the palm was particularly harsh in the quiet night, and it also made people feel cold.

In the center of the Bagua platform, Bai Yuan sat cross-legged with a calm face and eyes closed, as if the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He held the rosary in his hand, moving the beads one by one, and chanting the meditation mantra continuously.

The voice of the spell was low and melodious, like the sound of nature, bringing a moment of peace to people's hearts.

The sound of the ruler and the sound of the mantra were intertwined. Finally, after Bai Yuan finished reciting the meditation mantra 108 times, he quickly wrapped the rosary made of beads around his wrist.

Then he picked up the whisk on his robe, stood up and strode to the side of True Man Jiuyang.

He glanced at Xu Wan's palm and saw that it was cracked and bleeding. He couldn't help but feel pity.

Bai Yuan immediately bowed, holding the whisk in both hands, and said to Master Jiuyang, "Master, please show mercy and spare me this time.

It is because I did not teach her well. Please punish me, Master."

His voice was sincere and firm, full of respect for Master Jiuyang and concern for Xu Wan.

After saying this, he knelt down on the ground without hesitation.

Seeing this, True Man Jiuyang shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.

Jiuyang stared at the ruler in his hand. He blew on it, and the bloodstains that were clearly visible on the ruler disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if they had never existed.

Then, the ruler slowly dissipated in Jiuyang's hand, turning into a wisp of green smoke and blending into the air.

Xu Wan turned to look at Bai Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and felt deeply moved.

She didn't expect that at this critical moment, Senior Brother Bai Yuan would stand up without hesitation, take all the responsibility on himself, and plead for her.

This deep friendship filled Xu Wan's heart with warmth and gratitude.

So, Xu Wan knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed respectfully to Jiuyang, with a trembling voice: "Master, I know I was wrong.

Please, Master, don't punish me. This is all my fault."

After saying that, Xu Wan lowered her head and waited for Jiuyang's decision.

Jiuyang's gaze moved between Xu Wan and Bai Yuan, his eyes deep and complex.

He looked down at the whisk in his hand, which was as white as snow and not stained by dust.

However, at this moment Jiuyang felt deeply disappointed with Xu Wan.

"Jinglian."

Jiuyang's voice was low and serious, "Do you know that as a disciple of the Dao Sect, you should always carry your whisk with you?

This is our belief and our responsibility.

However, your whisk is not with you at this moment. What a dereliction of duty! "

Xu Wan was startled when he heard this, and he quickly looked up and explained, "Master, I left my whisk in the space.

I'm just not used to holding it in my hand. From now on, I will definitely keep my whisk with me and always remember my master's teachings."

After saying this, Xu Wan's eyes revealed a firm determination and regret.

She is fully aware of her mistakes and is willing to work hard to correct them.

"You guys get up."

Jiuyang's cold and majestic voice, like an ice blade in the cold wind, pierced through the air and slowly spoke to Bai Yuan and Xu Wan who were kneeling on the ground.

There was no emotion in his tone, as if he was stating an insignificant fact.

When the two heard this, their bodies trembled slightly, and then they slowly stood up.

There was a complex look in Bai Yuan's eyes, showing both awe for Jiuyang and concern for Xu Wan.

As for Xu Wan, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

The place where her hands were placed when she kowtowed just now was inadvertently stained with the blood on her hands.

The blood-stained words seemed to be activated and instantly emitted a dazzling light.

The light was like the rising sun, warm and scorching, illuminating the entire Bagua platform like daylight.

Xu Wan raised her hand and looked at her palm, and was surprised to find that the cut caused by the ruler had miraculously healed under the light.

There was a glimmer of disbelief in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

When Jiuyang saw Xu Wan's hand heal so quickly, his heart was filled with emotion.

The words on the gossip platform, stained with her blood, shone with light, which made him fall into deep thought.

He stared at the shining platform, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Could it be that this gossip platform, among the many trial-takers, only recognized her as its master?

Once this idea came into being, it spread like wildfire and could not be stopped.

Jiuyang knew that this Bagua platform was extraordinary. It contained an ancient and mysterious power, and it was no coincidence that it could recognize its master.

He looked at Xu Wan deeply, with a complex look in his eyes, as if at this moment, he had a completely new understanding of this cat demon.

Xu Wan looked at Jiuyang's pensive face and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

She asked softly, "Master, it's getting late.

Should we go down the mountain immediately or stay here?"

There was a hint of uneasiness and expectation in his words.

Jiuyang suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts. His gaze stayed on Xu Wan's face for a moment, then slowly moved to Bai Yuan beside him.

He reached out and gently patted Bai Yuan's shoulder. That action was full of the elder's expectations and trust in the younger generation.

He said earnestly, "Bai Yuan, your teacher has always placed high hopes on you.

You must not let your master down and continue to practice hard.

Only by letting go of those worldly thoughts can you go further on this path of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan couldn't help but speculate in her heart.

She looked at Bai Yuan's calm and resolute figure, and thought to herself: Could it be that there has always been an unforgettable white moonlight hidden in Senior Brother Bai Yuan's heart?

So why did he step into this door?

Could it be that the woman had failed his deep affection?

He was so disheartened that he chose this path of spiritual practice in order to find inner peace and liberation?

Thinking of this, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel some sympathy and pity for Bai Yuan.

She seemed to be able to see Bai Yuan's heart, which was hurt by the worldly affairs, and was looking for a pure land in Taoism.

She secretly made up her mind to care for and support Brother Bai Yuan more and accompany him through this difficult time of practice.
