The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"No, you're not allowed to contact those people anymore. From now on, you'll just stay by my side." Yu Qingcheng suddenly became jealous and gently bit Chen Xuan's arm.

"You're quite wicked, so possessive!" Chen Xuan chuckled and playfully pinched her nose.

He was still very happy to hear what Yu Qingcheng said, after all, he truly loved Yu Qingcheng now.

"Slap!" Yu Qingcheng gently slapped Chen Xuan's hand away.

"Who told you to act like this? You're acting like I'm your pet. Was I too lenient with you yesterday, and you got too cocky?"

"Snapped!"

Chen Xuan, not to be outdone, patted Yu Qingcheng on the shoulder. The latter gave a soft hum and obediently nestled against Chen Xuan.

"Eek..." Yu Qingcheng let out a coquettish cry, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes as she whispered, "You're getting more and more audacious."

Although she scolded him, she snuggled even closer, like a docile cat nestled in Chen Xuan's arms.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked her hair, and said:

"Qingcheng, do you know that in this world, there is only one person who can make me so presumptuous... you are the only one among dozens of people."

His tone was gentle, but his eyes revealed a firmness, as if he were declaring something.

Yu Qingcheng raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and said softly, "Then you must remember what I said today. If you dare to betray me in the future, I will not forgive you." Although her tone was soft, it carried an undeniable authority.

Chen Xuan laughed and said, "Although I, Chen Xuan, am not exactly a gentleman, my feelings for you are truly sincere. If there is even the slightest falsehood, may I be struck by lightning!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingcheng felt a warmth in her heart, but she feigned indifference on her face and said, "Hmph, you're so glib. Who knows what you're up to?" Although she said this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.

As the two were joking around, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance, as if someone was rushing over. Yu Qingcheng frowned and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me in my room?"

"No, sir, it's Young Master Mu Qingfeng... he insisted on barging in! When we servants tried to stop him, he started hitting us. Now, he's already at the gates of your palace!" the maid cried.

"Ah? Qingfeng is here?" Yu Qingcheng was startled and quickly got up from Chen Xuan's arms to tidy herself up.

But when she got up, she found the floor covered in shards.

Left with no other choice, I had to take out another one.

"Your guilty conscience is written all over your face!" Chen Xuan complained.

"Pah! I'm his master! I can't just... be all cute and innocent like this, can I? Besides, you're no match for him. If you can't stop him and he breaks in and sees me, you'll be the one who suffers! Are you stupid?!"

"Don't worry, he can't get in."

"Why?"

“Because… you are his master. He will treat whatever you say as sacred decree. If you don’t believe me, you can give him the order after he goes outside the door,” Chen Xuan said calmly.

It wasn't that he was confident, but rather that he was too familiar with sycophantic and toxic writing.

"Alright, alright, I know you're a wicked person with a lot of tricks up your sleeve, okay?" Yu Qingcheng glared at Chen Xuan playfully.

Soon, the two straightened their clothes. Yu Qingcheng took a deep breath and tried her best to appear calm and composed.

She gently patted her cheeks, trying to fade the blush on her face, then turned to Chen Xuan and said, "You stay here and don't come out. I'll deal with Qingfeng."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "What? Afraid he'll see us together? Or afraid he'll attack me?"

Yu Qingcheng glared at him, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Stop making a scene. Qingfeng is emotionally unstable right now. If he sees you here, he'll probably lose control even more. I don't want him to hurt you, and I also want to avoid hurting him. After all, he's my disciple. It would be best if we could have the best of both worlds."

"Alright, since you put it that way, then I'll just... watch from behind. After all, I don't want him to get any advantage."

Yu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him, then turned and walked out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Mu Qingfeng walking angrily toward her, followed by several maids and guards who tried to stop him.

"Qingfeng!" Yu Qingcheng's voice deepened, carrying a hint of authority. "What are you doing? Why are you trespassing into my palace?"

When Mu Qingfeng saw Yu Qingcheng, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly, but he still couldn't hide his resentment.

He strode up to Yu Qingcheng: "Master, is that shameless bastard Chen Xuan here? I want to kill him with my own hands!"

Yu Qingcheng frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of reproach: "Qingfeng, you're too impulsive. Chen Xuan is my master... servant, how can you interfere in my affairs like this?"

Mu Qingfeng sneered, his eyes full of disbelief. "Master, why are you protecting him? He's nothing but a heretic, he doesn't deserve to be by your side! If you need someone to serve you, I can do it for you. Why let such a person tarnish your reputation?"

He thought about it all night and finally came up with this perfect solution.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingcheng felt a slight tremor in her heart.

She finally understood why Mu Qingfeng had come all this time; his real purpose was to get Chen Xuan's job!

But Yu Qingcheng is no longer the ignorant person she once was. After being taught by "Coach" Chen Xuan, she has long since learned right from wrong.

"Qingfeng, you are my most trusted disciple, but there are some things you don't need to concern yourself with. I know how to handle things if Chen Xuan is useful to me."

"Useful?" Mu Qingfeng's voice suddenly rose, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. "Master, what kind of bewitching potion did he give you? How could someone like him possibly be useful to you? He will only tarnish your reputation and destroy everything you have!"

When Mu Qingfeng heard Yu Qingcheng refuse his "work" request, the jealousy in his eyes intensified.

"Enough! It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs!" Yu Qingcheng suddenly shouted, her expression showing some impatience.

"Exactly! You can only manage yourself, but can you manage others?" Chen Xuan slowly walked out and put his arm around Yu Qingcheng's slender waist.

Yu Qingcheng was startled; she hadn't expected Chen Xuan to do this, but she didn't say anything more.

Chen Xuan is right, there shouldn't be anything between master and disciple...

"Chen Xuan? What are you doing?! Let go of me!" Mu Qingfeng's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

"Ding! The chosen one of destiny, Mu Qingfeng, has lost his composure. The host is rewarded with 1000 Destiny Points and 1 lottery draw!"

"Ok?"

"No, what's going on, System? Why did he only reveal so few Fate Points this time?"

"Ding! The host has not yet claimed the reward from Yu Qingcheng!"

"Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it, but... let's talk about it after I beat him up!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he picked up Yu Qingcheng and threw a punch at Mu Qingfeng, who was attacking him.
