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

Mao Shi.

Nine Suns Divine Sect.

Xu Wan was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe and had a bun on her head, with two hair ribbons fluttering in the wind.

Holding three thick and long incense sticks.

His eyes were full of awe and piety.

She bowed to the statue high above, her voice clear and loud:

"Disciple Xu Wan has come to offer longevity incense to His Majesty the Emperor!"

After saying this, she carefully inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, and light smoke rose.

However, the statue did not react at all.

Xu Wan's gaze shifted again and fell on the altar.

There are all kinds of spiritual fruits and spiritual liquids displayed there.

Each drop contains the purest energy in the world, enough to greatly enhance the cultivator's cultivation.

She rubbed her belly and started to act playful.

"Hey, I'm really a little hungry. If you don't show up soon, my disciple will be unable to resist snatching your spiritual liquid to drink!"

At this moment, Xu Wan was very eager to summon Emperor Yun Che.

Xuan Qing, who was standing behind Xu Wan, felt extremely restless at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on the statue.

That was Yun Che's golden body, with a human head and a dragon body.

The huge golden dragon surrounding the body adds a sense of inviolability.

Xuan Qing clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment towards Yun Che.

He hated Yun Che for not knowing how to cherish Xu Wan!

I hate that he doesn't allow me to get close to Xu Wan!

What's more, I hated him for giving me the Huadao Powder!

If it weren't for the Huadao Powder, why would he need to cultivate Taoism again?

If it weren’t for Yun Che being so unreasonably strong!

How could he have been possessed by that witch last night?!

"Xuan Qing!"

Xu Wan's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xuanqing's thoughts.

She didn't turn around, so naturally she didn't know Xuanqing's complicated expression at the moment.

Xuan Qing took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, making his voice sound gentle and calm:

"Jinglian, what's the matter?"

Xu Wan finally turned around, walked around Xuan Qing, and looked him up and down.

Xuan Qing felt a little guilty when she looked at him. He lowered his head involuntarily, feeling anxious and uneasy.

Could it be that Jinglian has figured out that I'm no longer a virgin? What should I do?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Xu Wan suddenly patted his shoulder, his eyes flickering as he revealed a sly smile:

"Xuanqing, how about... you kneel down and kowtow to the Emperor and admit your mistake!"

Xuan Qing felt extremely aggrieved when he heard this, and he pointed at his face.

"I... admit my mistakes to the Emperor? What have I done wrong?"

After saying this, he angrily put his hands behind his back, turned around and no longer looked at the statue.

Xu Wan didn't expect Xuan Qing to reject her request so resolutely.

She was stunned for a moment, then patted Xuanqing's shoulder and said coquettishly:

"Xuanqing, you're the best. Just kneel down and kowtow to him a few times. Maybe he'll be willing to see me! I can't see how miserable he is!"

Xuanqing turned around and looked at Xu Wan, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Jinglian, what have I done wrong? If I kneel down and kowtow to admit my fault, wouldn't that just confirm that between you and I..."

Xu Wan suddenly realized.

She nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but then she smiled with relief:

"Okay! So that's what you think. It's my fault."

"But thank you for coming here with me so early in the morning..."

The hall returned to peace again, with only the smoke of incense rising up, interweaving with the morning light outside the window, forming a quiet and mysterious picture.

Xu Wan and Xuan Qing stood side by side in the hall, each with their own thoughts.

Bai Yuan stepped into the hall and saw from afar the two people standing quietly in front of the statue of Emperor Yun Che.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little worried.

"Junior brother, Xuanqing, you guys came quite early!"

Bai Yuan tried hard to adjust his tone to make it sound calm and natural.

When Xu Wan heard Bai Yuan's voice, she immediately turned around and saw Bai Yuan walking towards her with big strides.

He was wearing a purple Taoist robe that swayed gently in the wind. He was holding a whisk and smiling, looking particularly elegant.

Xu Wan's unhappiness had mostly dissipated the moment she saw Bai Yuan.

After a while.

Bai Yuan walked up to Xu Wan and stood in front of her, greeting her politely:

"Junior brother, did you sleep well last night?"

Xu Wan smiled bitterly and responded:

"Don't mention it. If you had sat with me last night and chatted with me, or read the scriptures, maybe I would have fallen asleep listening to you."

Xuan Qing, who was standing next to Xu Wan, looked back and forth between Xu Wan and Bai Yuan after hearing what Xu Wan said, and secretly wondered in his heart:

Jinglian, you actually juggled between Yun Che, Bai Yuan and me last night?

Bai Yuan noticed Xuan Qing's thoughts and immediately understood, so he deliberately put on a stern face and said:

"Xuanqing, you didn't even greet me when you saw me today. This is not like you normally!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing bowed reluctantly.

"Good morning, Senior Brother!"

Bai Yuan nodded slightly in response.

"Xuanqing, I have something to discuss with my master today, so I'll trouble you to teach me the Dao."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan took out a blue scripture from his chest and handed it over.

On the cover of the scripture, the four big characters "Tao follows nature" are written prominently.

Xuanqing did not reach out to take the scripture, but just stared at Bai Yuan and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Xu Wan quickly took the scripture from Bai Yuan's hand, took Xuan Qing's hand, and forced the scripture into his hand, smiling:

"Xuanqing, congratulations, you've been promoted to lecturer!"

Then, she smiled slyly and said to Xuanqing:

"Mr. Xuanqing, I'm taking a leave of absence today and won't be attending morning class! I'm really not feeling well. I'm so sorry."

Bai Yuan was helpless about Xu Wan's actions and could only shake his head.

Then, he turned and left, leaving behind a sentence:

"Don't waste time here!"

Xuanqing held the scripture tightly in his hand.

I was still savoring the feeling of Xu Wan holding my hand, but at the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After all, it was his first time to lecture on the scriptures, but Xu Wan took leave and didn't come to listen.

"Idiot! So boring!"

Xu Wan complained, shook her head, picked up the whisk on the table beside her, and left.

She looked at the purple figure of Bai Yuan in front of her, quickly caught up with him, and walked side by side with him.

Bai Yuan stopped, looked sideways at Xu Wan beside him, smiled heartily, and said:

"Junior brother, you caught up so quickly!"

Xu Wan smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, brother, you have long legs and walk fast!"

Of course I have to catch up quickly, otherwise I will disappear from sight in a moment!"

In response to Xu Wan's words, Bai Yuan could only smile and shake his head.

The scene changes.

In the corridor, next to the stone pillar.

Bai Yuan looked up at the sky. The sun at dawn was not too glaring.

Xu Wan sat on the stone platform nearby, crossed her legs, and with a sad look in her eyes, she couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Bai Yuan, is my master really in seclusion? But why can't I sense his presence?"

Xu Wan was very confused and puzzled about Yun Che's sudden disappearance.

Why?

Is Yun Che going to suddenly disappear?

"It is true that the Emperor is in seclusion. He set up a barrier during his retreat. How could you sense it?"

Bai Yuan could only comfort Xu Wan in this way.

However, Xu Wan didn't seem to believe it.

"Brother Bai Yuan, do you dare to turn around and look me in the eye?"

"Don't you dare tell me that you are not lying!"

Xu Wan stared at Bai Yuan's back, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Bai Yuan remained silent and didn't dare to turn around.

Because he did lie, but the Emperor ordered him to say so to Xu Wan.

Xu Wan stood up and continued:

"I once asked Master which star in the sky represented him, and he pointed it out to me."

"But why couldn't I see his star last night?"
