Chapter 72: Holding the Ace

The smile on his lips was clearly alluring, but in Shu Yao's eyes, it carried an air of amorousness and wickedness.

"Let me have a look." He held out his hand, and Shu Yue obediently handed it over, but kept a half - arm's distance from him.

Sure enough, as Shu Yue expected, he saw the pupils widen in shock. Shu Yao's face instantly flushed bright red, as if the rosy clouds in the sky had toppled over. He was extremely ashamed and indignant.

Shu Yao's hand holding the rice paper was trembling. He glared hatefully at Shu Yue and pointed at him angrily, scolding, "Shu Yue, you're really shameless!"

To be honest, when he saw the picture on the rice paper depicting two men in an intimate embrace, the shameful postures made him think of all the "naughty deeds" Shu Yue had done to him before.

However, Shu Yue still grinned like a rascal, looking completely unconcerned. He didn't take his father's anger seriously at all.

He drawled lazily, "Why are you shy, Father? Haven't we already done this kind of thing many times? Hmm?"

He seductively ran his tongue over his thin lips, which were naturally slightly upturned. The gesture seemed vulgar at first, but on him, it was elegant yet dissolute.

"You! You..." Shu Yao was so angry that his face alternated between red and white. In a fit of rage, he was about to tear the picture into pieces.

"Father, don't tear it. It took me so much effort to draw..." Seeing this, Shu Yue leaped up and desperately tried to save his hard - created masterpiece.

However, the picture he had painstakingly drawn was already in shreds in Shu Yao's hands.

He could only stare blankly at the flying pieces of paper, which fluttered down like a shower of sorrow.

"Wow, my picture..." He held the only piece of paper he managed to catch and wailed like a wronged child.

Shu Yao, however, was cold and stern. He slowly issued a warning, "If I ever see you drawing such vulgar things again, I'll sever our father - son relationship!"

This was a serious matter. Shu Yue could tell that Shu Yao was not joking. He quickly moved closer, only to be repeatedly ignored by Shu Yao's coldness.

He tugged at Shu Yao's long sleeve and said timidly, "Father, your child was just joking with you. Don't be angry."

"This kind of joke isn't funny at all."

"But copying books is so boring. I just wanted to amuse you," he said as he hugged Shu Yao's arm and swayed it back and forth. His tall body leaned on Shu Yao's slender shoulder, looking like a big panda hugging its keeper.

"Look, you're not as beautiful when you're angry. Don't be angry with your child, okay?" He looked up at Shu Yao's elegant jawline and neck. While admiring his father's celestial beauty, he also secretly observed the changing expressions on his face.

Unable to bear the "bear" on him any longer, Shu Yao gave him a sidelong glance and asked, "Do you really know you're wrong?"

The man nodded pitifully, "Yes, I know."

Seeing this, Shu Yao couldn't bear to be angry with him anymore. He compromised, "Fine, I'll forgive you this time. But remember, there won't be a next time."

"Of course, of course. Your child will follow your teachings." Next time? Would he dare to have a next time?

As he said this, he hugged Shu Yao again, not caring if others saw. Shu Yao pushed him away and said crossly, "Be serious. Hurry up and copy the books."

"Okay." Shu Yue stuck out his tongue. As he stretched his elbow back, he accidentally knocked a stack of books off the table.

"Oops, the books fell." He quickly picked them up one by one. Among them, he found a book that had nothing to do with the sword manuals.

Although the cover said "Kunshan Sword Manual", the content inside was full of pornographic pictures.

Shu Yue stared at the book for a long time, unable to believe that there was such an unhealthy book in the Kunshan School.

"What are you looking at?" Shu Yao saw that he had been holding the book without moving for a long time. He tried to grab it, but Shu Yue lifted his hand and he missed.

"Nothing. I just saw some nice sword manuals."

He said casually while putting the "sword manual" on the table beside him. Then, while Shu Yao was distracted, he quickly hid it in his sleeve.

His movements were smooth and clean. He then calmly sorted out the stack of books and buried his head in copying them.

Shu Yao just took a look and didn't notice anything strange, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, Shu Yue was absent - minded. Whenever he thought of the content he had just seen, he couldn't help but snicker secretly. He also wondered who had the courage to hide such a book.

After copying the books, it was time for the lunch break. Exhausted and sleepy, Shu Yao fell asleep without having lunch.

Taking advantage of Shu Yao's nap, Shu Yue was going to secretly read that pornographic book.

Just as he stepped out of the room, he saw the old - fashioned Li Nao walking in a hurry towards the library. From time to time, he looked around, looking very nervous.

"What is this old - fashioned guy doing in the library during the lunch break?" he muttered to himself. Curiosity got the better of him, and he secretly followed Li Nao.

He hid himself perfectly. Only after Li Nao entered the library did he slightly poke his head out. He tiptoed quietly and lurked outside the door.

Through a small crack in the door, with a sharp look, he saw Li Nao searching for a book. He was rummaging around on the same table where Shu Yue had copied the books, scattering the books all over the table.

Suddenly, Shu Yue looked at the book in his hand and then at Li Nao's actions. It seemed that Li Nao was looking for this "sword manual".

Could it be that this book belonged to Li Nao?

Shu Yue shook his head uncertainly. No, he was the acting sect master and an elder. How could he read such pornographic books?

To find out, he didn't hesitate to push open the door. Hearing the sound, Li Nao immediately turned around in a panic, showing a look of panic that didn't match his "immortal - like" appearance.

He saw a handsome man leaning against the side of the library. His posture was lazy, his eyebrows were flying, and there was a hint of wildness at the corner of his mouth. He was smiling gently but with a touch of sarcasm.

"Shu, Shu Yue! Why are you here?"

"I was just about to ask you, Elder. During the lunch break, shouldn't you be in meditation? Why are you in the library?" Shu Yue raised his eyebrows and glanced casually, "It seems you're looking for a book..."

"When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs? Where's the thousand - time copy of the Tao Te Ching I asked you to do? Show it to me for inspection."

Elder Li Nao was strict and solemn, completely losing the panic he had shown before. But Shu Yue could still tell that this was just a disguise of his calmness.

"Don't be in a hurry," he waved his index finger, looking lazy yet with a touch of evil. He stretched out the hand hidden behind his back and waved the book in his hand, saying, "Elder, are you looking for this one?"

The expression that flashed across Li Nao's face next confirmed Shu Yue's half - believed and half - doubted suspicion.

The next second, Li Nao rushed forward, completely different from his usual solemn and immortal - like appearance.
