This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Seeing that Su Yu had fallen silent, Ye Xuan felt embarrassed to disturb her and began to communicate with Elder Wu.

"Teacher, teacher?"

The next second, Elder Wu responded softly, "Hmm."

"Teacher, are you alright?"

"How could anything happen to your master? It's you who's in trouble, my disciple..."

"Didn't you lend me your power last time? Are you sure it's okay?" Ye Xuan asked, half believing and half doubting.

“Disciple, you need to look further ahead. That is just a little bit of power, it cannot shake my essence, but it is you.”

"If it weren't for your senior sister using the power of her innate Dao body to heal you these past few days, you wouldn't have woken up yet."

"Senior sister..." A warm feeling flowed through Ye Xuan's heart.

"These past few days... has my senior sister been taking care of me?"

"Yes, she not only drained your spiritual energy, applied medicine to stop your injuries, fed you healing elixirs, but also helped you..."

"Teacher, please stop talking. The more you talk, the more upset I feel." Ye Xuan said dejectedly.

"What? Do you feel indebted to your senior sister? Are you still regretting your choice back then?"

"I really regret it, especially the farewell my senior sister said when she was captured by that half-saint. I wish I could cut myself in two."

"If your senior sister had asked you to leave your master's tutelage and join the Qingchen Sect, would you have agreed?"

Ye Xuan remained silent for a long time. "If it were before I made a choice, I would definitely have chosen my senior sister. But now that I have become your disciple, although I still regret it, I will still stick to my principles."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu couldn't help but sigh for Ye Xuan.

“Foolish child, it seems that your senior sister’s experience at the ruins still frightens you.”

"So now, the better your senior sister treats you, the more pain you feel and the deeper your guilt will be towards her if you can't keep your promises to her and make her happy?"

Ye Xuan remained silent; that was indeed the case.

“Disciple, there’s no need to feel so guilty. Almost everyone will face matters between men and women. If you really feel indebted to your senior sister, then become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you protect her.”

"You haven't had enough experience yet, but one day you'll all figure it out."

Ye Xuan nodded; he understood what he should do.

"I understand, Master. Ouch—but why does my face feel a little sore?"

Even the twitching of his face felt intensely painful, and Ye Xuan seriously doubted whether he had been slapped.

A strange look appeared on Wu Lao's illusory face.

You're really something, getting the benefit and then acting innocent...

at the same time.

Su Yu snapped out of his daze, looked at Ye Xuan, and smiled slightly.

"Junior brother, you are seriously injured right now. Why don't we postpone the Four Sects Tournament? How about your senior sister stays here with you?"

Ye Xuan paused, "How can this be? How can my injury affect my senior sister?"

"Senior sister, don't worry. My injuries are serious, but I will recover soon."

"I know that my senior sister really wants me to win first place in the competition, defeat the so-called strongest geniuses of other sects, and prove the name of Zhan Yue Sect. I will definitely not let my senior sister down!"

"As long as my senior sister is with me, no difficulty is insurmountable."

"......"

Su Yu was both amused and exasperated. It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it, because now that you did, he felt like he was having a heart attack.

He just wanted to keep a few fish, how did he end up in this mess?

There's no solution to this problem...

Su Yu let out a soft breath. "You should recover first. We'll return to the sect once you've healed."

Let's take it one step at a time. If all else fails, he'll transform back into the Three-Colored Black Demon and run away with his bucket.

Ye Xuan nodded. After a long period of gentle care and treatment by his senior sister, he was able to circulate his spiritual energy.

As long as one can use spiritual power, and with the help of Elder Wu's medical treatment, one will surely recover in a short time.

And so, Ye Xuan healed himself for three whole days.

He didn't mention the leg appointment again during those three days because of the tight schedule.

However, he was determined to keep his promise and planned to curry favor with the emperor after the four major competitions.

Ahem, I was just discussing life with my senior...

Over this period of time, Su Yu has become increasingly close to the mid-stage of the Ascended Emperor Realm.

According to his estimate.

It is very likely that a breakthrough will be made before the four major competitions.

Three days later, Ye Xuan recovered quickly and was full of energy again.

After traveling at full speed for two days, the two finally returned to Zhan Yue Sect.

Su Yu had just returned to her side hall when she was summoned to the main hall by her master, Qing Chenzi.

Upon entering the main hall, Qingchenzi stroked his beard and smiled, saying:

"My good disciple, have you made any progress in the past month or so?"

Su Yu said, "Reporting to Master, during my time at home, I have broken through to the Ascended Emperor Realm."

"Reached the Emperor Realm? So fast??" Even Qing Chenzi was somewhat stunned.

Two months ago, Qingyi had only recently reached the Core Formation Realm, right?

This little apprentice is incredible! I'm afraid it won't be long before she surpasses me.

"......"

"Not bad, keep up the good work." Qing Chenzi feigned composure and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Tomorrow is the day you will go to Wanlingtai to participate in the Four Sects Grand Competition. Be careful then, as the other three sects also have some formidable talents, and some geniuses have even reached the Ascended Emperor Realm."

"The disciple understands."

"By the way, did you return to the sect with Ye Xuan?"

Su Yu nodded slightly.

"How did you two run into each other? Did you arrange it beforehand?"

Su Yu denied it. "No, he's a junior brother I met by chance on my way back from Lingcheng."

"A chance encounter?" Qing Chenzi revealed a meaningful smile.

"Disciple, what do you think of Ye Xuan?"

“I am your master, you don’t need to lie to me.”

He had believed Qingyi when she told him that she had nothing to do with Ye Xuan.

But after the incident with the martial arts tournament champion, he absolutely refused to believe that there was no ambiguous relationship between them.

What a coincidence!

My own disciple must be interested in Ye Xuan!

Su Yu felt a little strange. When did her master become so gossipy?

“Master, Ye Xuan is not my real junior brother. We only have friendship and no other relationship.”

"Is he really not good enough for you at all?" Qing Chenzi stroked his beard and sighed softly.

"For now, I only want to cultivate the Tao; I have no other intentions."

"Alas, I was just asking out of curiosity. It doesn't mean anything. I support your idea."

Afterwards, Qingchenzi gave Su Yu a few more instructions before ending the conversation.

Su Yu returned to his side hall to rest, pondering how to prevent Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing from tearing each other apart...
