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

Xu Wan closed the invitation in her hand, carefully put it into her sleeve, then bowed to thank Master Jiuyang.

After the ceremony, she walked out of the hall, followed closely by Bai Yuan. The two walked side by side and arrived at the Laojun Hall.

The two of them sat quietly in front of the desk, the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

Xu Wan held the brush tightly in her hand, concentrating on outlining the lines of the meditation talisman on the yellow paper.

Bai Yuan sat aside, looking at Xu Wan's serious expression with gentle eyes, a warm smile on his lips.

Xu Wan's technique was very skillful, and she painted one picture after another without any pause.

An hour later, Xu Wan neatly stacked the carefully drawn talismans and placed them in a brocade box beside her.

Then, she turned her head gracefully and looked at Bo Yuan with gentle eyes.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he said softly: "Brother, after I finish drawing these 20,000 talismans,

Can you chat with me?"

There was a hint of expectation in his words.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan laughed heartily. His laughter was like a spring breeze, refreshing and pleasant.

He praised sincerely, "Well done, Junior Brother, your technique in drawing talismans is truly amazing now. Your hand speed is breathtaking."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan clasped his hands together and humbly replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother."

A humble and satisfied smile graced his face.

However, Bo Yuan's expression changed, and he looked distressed.

He patted Xu Wan's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "Junior brother, do you know the art of drawing talismans?

It seems simple, but it actually takes a lot of effort and requires a lot of spiritual power.

You must take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Xu Wan shook her head slightly, a trace of bewilderment on her face: "Master never told me that drawing talismans would consume spiritual energy."

As he spoke, Xu Wan took out the golden spirit stone that was emitting a faint glow from his sleeve.

Bai Yuan's eyes were instantly attracted by the glowing spirit stone. He asked curiously, "Where did you get this spirit stone, Junior Brother?"

Xu Wan was seen holding the spirit stone tightly in his right hand, his eyes cunningly falling on Bai Yuan, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

She giggled and said to Bo Yuan: "Hehe... Senior Brother, how about you help me draw the talisman?

How about I lend you this spirit stone for an hour?"

Hearing this, Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying helplessly, "Junior Brother, I was asking you where the spirit stones came from. How did you end up drawing talismans?"

Xu Wan winked mischievously and said with a laugh, "I won't tell you.

Unless you draw a talisman for me first, I will tell you the source of the spirit stone."

Her naughty look made Bai Yuan laugh and cry.

I saw Bai Yuan sitting upright with his back straight.

He closed his lips tightly, said no more words, and began to concentrate with his eyes closed, as if he had put all his thoughts deep in his heart.

He folded his hands together and placed them on his knees.

Seeing this, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel unhappy and muttered, "Brother, you don't want to pay attention to me anymore, right?"

As she spoke, she sighed, "I feel really bad."

Bai Yuan didn't open his eyes, but said calmly: "Junior brother, please tell me whatever you want to say. I'm listening."

Xu Wan clenched her right hand tightly, the golden spirit stone Yun Che had given her gleaming faintly in her palm.

She stared at Bai Yuan who was resting with his eyes closed, her heart filled with grievances, but she found it difficult to speak.

Xu Wan was silent for a long time, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Bai Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw her tearful eyes. His heart tightened and he asked with concern, "But what unpleasantness happened between you and Emperor Zun?"

Xu Wan shook her head slightly and replied, "No."

Bai Yuan patted her shoulder gently and comforted her gently: "Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Xu Wan's gaze fell on Bai Yuan's big hand on her shoulder.

The hand was not white and delicate, but rather appeared quite rough, with distinct knuckles, as if telling of the hardships and trials the owner had gone through.

Bai Yuan seemed to feel Xu Wan's gaze and smiled slightly.

Then he withdrew his hands, crossed them on his knees again, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if at this moment, the whole world had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Xu Wan became anxious and blurted out, "Brother, you are ignoring me again!

Why do you men only practice cultivation all day and don't care about anything else?"

There was a hint of grievance and confusion in her tone.

Hearing this, Bai Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips: "Why not practice? Do you want to fall in love with me?"

Xu Wan blushed slightly when she heard this, and lowered her head awkwardly: "I...I just want to ask you how to not be trapped by love.

Now the entire Lingshan Mountain knows that the Emperor and I...are married. I...I really don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan's expression instantly became serious: "You...you actually did something so against the will of heaven!

It's no wonder you're so weak now. God is merciful and is grateful for sparing your life."

There was a hint of blame and regret in his tone.

Xu Wan felt mixed emotions as she listened to Bai Yuan's lecture.

She nodded silently: “Well, I was wrong.

It was me who caused Master to suffer the heavenly punishment for me. I have been thinking a lot these past few days. I shouldn’t have been pestering him all this time…”

As he spoke, Xu Wan lowered her head involuntarily, while Bai Yuan slowly closed his eyes and began to try to calm his turbulent heart.

After a while, Xu Wan looked up and saw that Bai Yuan still had his eyes closed.

A hint of curiosity surged in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask softly: "Brother, have you ever loved someone deeply?

How did you let it go?"

Bai Yuan didn't open his eyes, but replied calmly: "I have loved someone else's wife."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan's eyes widened instantly, and he said in astonishment, "Brother, how could you fall in love with someone else's wife?

She must be charming and attractive, right? "

Bo Yuan still kept his eyes closed, his tone calm and unwavering: "I fell in love with her at first sight.

She is very kind and lively, but I met her too late."

Xu Wan continued to ask, "So, Senior Brother, how did you let it go?"

Her eyes were full of confusion and concern.

Bai Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Wan with a complex and profound gaze.

“After Master knew my concerns, he asked me to cultivate the Supreme Merciless Way.

When the Tao is achieved, letting go will come naturally.”

His voice was calm and indifferent, as if he had transcended worldly troubles.

Xu Wan's curiosity was piqued upon hearing this. She pressed on, "Supreme Merciless Dao? What kind of technique is this?"

Her tone was full of anticipation and curiosity.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly and asked, "Why, Junior Brother, are you interested in this technique and want to practice it?"

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Xu Wan rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Why are you like this when chatting?

I asked you, but you didn't tell me.

I don’t even know what the practice is, how can I decide whether to practice it or not?”

There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan fell into a brief silence.

Xu Wan said no more. She lowered her head and thought about what Bai Yuan said.

A married woman? Lively, kind, love at first sight...

When the master found out, he asked him to cultivate the Supreme Merciless Way.

Could it be...

The person my senior brother loves is actually me?

Xu Wan's heart couldn't help but ripple, she looked up at Bai Yuan,

I saw him close his eyes again, as if he was lost in deep memories.
