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

Jiuyang Divine Sect: Laojun Temple

Haishi.

Rows of candlelight in the hall sway gently, like stars. Amidst the smoke, the air is filled with the rich aroma of incense and the unique scent of candles.

Xu Wan took a deep breath, absorbing all the fragrance and turning it into true energy flowing through her body.

After a short break, she began to pick up the pen and draw talismans with full concentration.

After unremitting efforts, she finally completed 10,000 talismans and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She rubbed her sore hands, then gracefully twirled the brush in her hand, her movements both flexible and rhythmic.

Xuan Qing watched quietly from the side and couldn't help but admire sincerely: "Jinglian, you are really amazing.

He actually completed 10,000 talismans! This pen spinner also spins so beautifully."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan immediately stopped turning the brush.

She smiled slyly and said to Xuanqing, "Xuanqing, stretch out your hand."

Xuan Qing stretched out his hand curiously, only to see Xu Wan quickly draw a turtle on his palm.

She smiled brightly and said playfully, "Xuanqing, you're a cuckold bastard!"

After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly, "Hmph... I asked you to help me draw the talisman, but you didn't. I'm so tired!"

Xuan Qing lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the palm of his right hand.

That was the turtle that Xu Wan had just drawn as a prank. The corners of his mouth inadvertently rose up, revealing a faint smile.

However, Xu Wan did not notice this subtle change because she was busy hanging the brush in her hand back on the pen holder.

Then, she leaned back in her chair leisurely, looking into the distance, and said in a somewhat playful tone, "Xuanqing, you are so easy to bully."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Xuanqing still looking down at the graffiti on his palm.

So, Xu Wan put away her joking expression and began to preach seriously: "Xuanqing, you can't be bullied like this.

You have to learn to be more domineering and majestic, only in this way,

In this world where the strong are respected, you can become a respected master."

Xuanqing slowly raised his head, gently clasped his hands together, then humbly lowered his head and said devoutly, "Xuanqing is grateful for your guidance."

Seeing this, Xu Wan patted his shoulder with satisfaction and praised him, "Good disciple, you are truly a teachable child!"

Hearing this, Xuan Qing suddenly covered Xu Wan's mouth with his hand and said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't shout.

We are brothers now.

Besides, I joined earlier than you, so according to the rules, I am your senior brother."

Xu Wan looked at Xuan Qing with a smile on her face.

Xuanqing realized his mistake and quickly put his hand down.

Xu Wan praised again, "Xuanqing, you learn really fast. Now you can even practice on me. It's really cause for celebration!"

Xuanqing suddenly extended his index finger, gently placed it on his lips, and whispered, "Shh, Master is coming soon."

There was a hint of nervousness and awe in his words, and he quickly lowered his voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan immediately sat up straight, collected her thoughts, and stopped talking.

Xuanqing also quickly straightened his sitting posture, picked up the whisk on the table, placed it on his left hand, gently moved the rosary beads with his right hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to silently recite the mantra of movement and stillness.

Xu Wan clasped her hands together, closed her eyes gently, and waited devoutly for the arrival of Master Jiuyang.

She silently counted one, two, three, four in her heart... Time seemed to freeze, and the numbers kept rising in her mind until she almost counted to two hundred, but Master Jiuyang still did not show up.

She couldn't help but open her eyes slightly and called softly, "Master, why haven't you come yet?"

……

"Jinglian!"

The voice of True Man Jiuyang came, interrupting Xu Wan's thoughts.

She looked up and saw that Master Jiuyang was holding a whisk in his left hand and a green bowl in his right hand, looking at her kindly.

Xu Wan quickly stood up and walked to the side of Master Jiuyang. She clasped her hands together, bowed her head, and respectfully called out, "Hello, Master."

True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, then he turned his gaze to Xuanqing, only to see that he was still reciting the Meditation Technique. He nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this.

Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He strode quickly to the front of Master Jiuyang, bowed, and respectfully called out, "Hello, Master!"

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Xu Wan beside him, and said gently, "Jinglian, why don't you take this bowl of nourishing soup quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan immediately stretched out her hands and respectfully took the jade bowl from Jiuyang's hand.

A strong smell of medicine instantly hit her nose, making her frown slightly.

She took a spoon and scooped up the black medicine with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, but she was not in a hurry to drink it.

Seeing this, Master Jiuyang patiently explained, "Jinglian, this is the all-inclusive tonic soup that I made especially for you.

It will be extremely beneficial to your body's recovery, so you must cherish it."

Xu Wan took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, picked up the spoon with her right hand, held the bowl steadily with her left hand, and drank all the medicine in the bowl in one go.

A bitter taste spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but frown slightly and put the spoon back into the bowl.

She looked up at Master Jiuyang, forced a smile, and said, "Master, I've finished drinking."

Having said that, he respectfully handed the bowl back to Master Jiuyang with both hands.

True Man Jiuyang took the bowl, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Jinglian, you should go back and rest early today."

After saying this, his gaze fell on Xuanqing who was standing beside him, and he ordered, "Xuanqing, take Jinglian back to Jingsi Pavilion."

Xu Wan quickly waved her hand to refuse, and said with a smile: "Master, I can go back by myself, the journey is not far."

True Man Jiuyang held his long beard with his hand, his eyes deep: "It's getting late, it's not safe for you to go back alone..."

Xu Wan cursed in his heart: You, old Taoist priest, are just afraid that I will go to see my master secretly.

But she still nodded, forced a smile and replied, "Okay."

Then he bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for allowing me to attend the morning class today."

After saying that, Xu Wan walked lightly to the table and put the painted talismans in order.

The movements were extremely skillful, as if treating treasures, and he gently placed them into an exquisite brocade box.

Then, she picked up the whisk lying quietly on the table,

Xu Wan, holding a whisk in his left hand, walked lightly to the front of Master Jiuyang and bowed slightly.

He said respectfully, "Master, I have completed your task and packed up the talismans."

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Okay."

At this time, Xuan Qing also bowed to Master Jiuyang, with a hint of determination in his voice: "Master, please be at ease.

Jinglian is already on the right track and is practicing diligently."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiuyang patted Xuanqing's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "Xuanqing, you should practice well.

It would be wonderful to have you and Bo Yuan as my right-hand men in the future."

When Xu Wan heard Bai Yuan's name, she immediately became alert and looked towards Master Jiuyang with curiosity in her eyes.

I asked, "How long will it take for Senior Brother Bai Yuan to come out of seclusion? I miss him so much.

What kind of practice is the Supreme Merciless Dao?

Is it so difficult to practice? It’s been almost four months, and he still can’t break through to a higher level?

Upon hearing this, Master Jiuyang curled up his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming with wisdom as he said, "You little wild cat, you really can get along with anyone.

You are weak, go back and rest."

After saying that, he turned to Xuanqing and ordered: "Xuanqing, send Jinglian back!"

Xuanqing and Xu Wan thanked True Man Jiuyang and then walked out of the hall together.

True Man Jiuyang looked at the two men's backs, holding his long beard with his hand, and fell into deep thought.
