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

After Yun Che and Jiuyang had a conversation, he smiled and gestured for Jiuyang to continue explaining the profound Taoism.

He cleverly used this as an excuse and chose to sit next to Xu Wan, eager to spend more time with her.

He sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his hands crossed behind his back, as if listening devoutly.

Xu Wan, on the other hand, had been holding the whisk, but her right hand was touching Yun Che's hand dishonestly.

Yun Che felt her touch and suddenly grasped the hand she extended.

The warmth from his palm brought a long-lost sweetness to Xu Wan's heart.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly let go of Yun Che's hand and covered her mouth.

Seeing this, Jiuyang on the high platform frowned and scolded, "Jinglian, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Wan quickly stood up, holding the whisk in her hand, and replied respectfully, "Master, I couldn't help laughing when I heard the wonderful part. Please don't blame me."

Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of displeasure flickering in his gaze.

He quickly stood up and looked up at Jiuyang on the platform.

"Jiuyang, this bad student actually has such a bad attitude in your class. It seems that I must punish her severely."

After saying this, he extended his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and ordered: "Jiuyang, please continue your story. I will take this bad disciple out and punish him severely."

Xu Wan immediately understood that Yun Che wanted to use this as an excuse to be alone with her.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly knelt before Yun Che and kowtowed, her voice filled with tears: "Emperor, please don't whip me. I will obey the rules from now on."

Yun Che looked at Xu Wan, flicked his sleeves, and said in a feigned anger, "Now you know you're wrong? Jiuyang has said that you've fallen asleep in this class several times.

Do you think I should punish you for this attitude? I sent you to Lingshan to further your studies, not to have fun."

Xu Wan slowly stood up, not daring to straighten his back, and said with his head down, "Disciple accepts the punishment."

Seeing this, Jiuyang stood up from the high platform and appeared in front of Yun Che in a flash. He bowed and said, "Jinglian is my disciple, so naturally I will punish her personally.

Emperor, you should go to the Sect Master and discuss with him the matter of training disciples for ascension."

Jiuyang naturally saw the subtle relationship between the two.

Seeing this, Yun Che nodded slightly. Although he was reluctant to leave in his heart, he still maintained politeness and grace on his face.

He politely bowed to Master Jiuyang and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

Hearing this, Xu Wan slowly raised her head and looked at Yun Che who was standing in front of her.

He just lifted up his white robe, and he looked so handsome.

Then, it instantly turned into a dazzling golden light and disappeared in front of her.

Looking at the direction where Yun Che left, Xu Wan's heart was filled with regret.

She was secretly annoyed. It was just that her master held her hand, so why did she laugh out loud so uncontrollably?

If I could hold back, maybe I could sit with my Master and enjoy the sweetness and happiness of secretly holding hands.

Jiuyang looked at Xu Wan kneeling on the ground, sighed helplessly, and then began to give orders.

He slowly said, "Jinglian, kowtow one hundred times before the statue of Laojun, and then copy the Tranquility Sutra five hundred times to cultivate your body and mind."

Xu Wan frowned upon hearing this, then stood up and tried to bargain with his master: "Master, why don't you just use the ruler to punish me directly?

Wouldn't it be a waste of time to kowtow and copy the meditation techniques?

I'm planning to draw talismans and practice swordsmanship this afternoon."

When Jiuyang heard this, his eyes widened, but he immediately regained his composure and began to praise: "Jinglian, Jinglian, you really know how to manage your time. I am really ashamed of myself."

After Xu Wan finished a day of training, he was sent back to the Yangxin Palace by True Man Jiuyang.

At this time, the candlelight in the Hall of Mental Cultivation flickered, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.

True Man Jiuyang was reporting to Chen Xuan the results of Xu Wan's day's practice.

Chen Xuan and Yun Che sat leisurely on the throne, sipping fragrant tea, eating delicious strawberries, and enjoying the rare time together.

Xu Wan stood quietly by the side, her eyes fixed on the strawberries on the plate.

After True Man Jiuyang bowed and said goodbye to Chen Xuan and Yun Che and left, Xu Wan finally couldn't suppress her inner desire.

She looked at Chen Xuan, blinked her bright eyes, and called out in a clear voice, "Godfather, Xiao Wan also wants to eat spiritual fruit."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which made Chen Xuan smile fondly.

"Xiao Wan, come and get it."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement, his face filled with kindness and satisfaction. Perhaps it was because it was a rare opportunity for him to get together with Yun Che, and this rare gathering made him feel particularly happy.

He fulfilled Xu Wan's request, his eyes full of doting.

Xu Wan leaned over slightly, took a strawberry from the jade plate, and put it directly into her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste instantly blossomed on her tongue, like the feeling of first love. She couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, with a happy smile on her face.

She couldn't help but pick up another one and savor it carefully.

Yun Che picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then placed the cup steadily on the table.

He stood up and bowed to Chen Xuan, his voice filled with reluctance: "Brother Chen Xuan, it's getting late. I should go back to Wuji Sect."

Chen Xuan stroked his long beard and responded with a smile: "Okay, Yun Che, don't keep Shuang Yue waiting for too long.

You can ask her to do anything you need.”

When Xu Wan heard this, displeasure surged in her heart like a tide.

She stopped eating strawberries and stood up straight, her smile a bit forced and bitter: "Farewell, Your Majesty. Sect Leader Frost Moon is indeed quite good. You must pamper her well when you return."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che frowned and his expression instantly darkened.

He swung his sleeves, his tone filled with anger: "Bad disciple! This is not your concern!"

After saying that, he bowed to Chen Xuan again and said goodbye: "Chen Xuan, I'm going back."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Inside the Yihe Hall.

After taking a medicinal bath, Xu Wan chose to wear a snow-white long dress and a red cloak.

She walked out from behind the screen and moved forward with light steps.

Her eyes inadvertently fell on a bamboo basket placed on the tea table not far away.

She walked quickly forward and saw that the basket was full of cherries.

"Master, why aren't you here? Did you leave?"

Xu Wan muttered to herself, a trace of disappointment flashing across her face.

Then, she walked towards the carved wooden door of the inner hall and gently pushed it open. A gust of cold air instantly rushed in, causing her to take a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the winter chill into her heart.

When she walked out the door, the sight before her brightened her eyes.

I saw a golden dragon crawling leisurely on the frozen water.

Xu Wan was instantly amused. She shouted to Jin Long, "Master, why are you crawling around on the ice like a tapeworm?"

Before she finished speaking, the golden dragon flashed and transformed into a human form. It was her master Yun Che.

Yun Che stood there, smiling and extending his hand to Xu Wan, as if inviting her: "Wan'er, let's dance on the ice."

Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally held his hand.

Yun Che pulled her onto the ice surface in an instant, and the two began to dance gracefully.

Their dance steps were in perfect harmony, one moving forward and the other moving backward, like a couple made in heaven.

The night was cold and quiet, with only the sound of two people's footsteps dancing on the ice echoing.

Suddenly, the ice cracked, and Yun Che quickly hugged Xu Wan and jumped to the ground.

After Xu Wan stood firm, she looked at the snow on the ground that had not yet melted, and recalled the dream she had three days ago.

A shy blush appeared on her face, and she murmured, "Master, I want to go into the inner hall to eat cherries."
