A master is truly a master.
Even though he was so inexperienced at present, no one could lay a finger on him.
Being rejected so straightforwardly, Zhao Shuning didn't feel sad. Instead, she felt rather pleased.
You know, the master had once kissed her. Now that they were keeping their distance, she was quite satisfied.
During her dozens of days in the Mysterious Realm, Zhao Shuning practiced all her previous mental cultivation methods again.
It was only after Yan Ruyu opened the door to the Mysterious Realm that she walked out calmly.
Yan Ruyu didn't even glance at her.
He threw a ancient book at her and then left.
Zhao Shuning was just about to chase after him when she noticed that the book in her hand looked quite familiar.
Taking a closer look, she found that this book was exactly the same as the one the master had given Ye Ling for the first time all those years ago.
But after she opened the book, she found that many of the contents didn't quite match what she remembered.
She fetched a writing brush and ink and filled in the missing parts one by one.
After she finished the last stroke, she slowly flipped through the ancient book.
Then, she stopped.
The content of the book after the supplementation was exactly the same as the one she had read back then.
Why was this?
Was she originally from this place?
Or was it just a coincidence?
"Why aren't you coming up?"
Zhao Shuning quickly snapped out of her daze and looked at the master in front of her.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Master, this—"
"What are you doing?"
Yan Ruyu took the book and flipped through it.
Then, he nodded appreciatively.
"The parts you've supplemented are quite good. It's much easier to understand than before."
Zhao Shuning didn't react. She just stood there stupidly, following Yan Ruyu, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Master, do you remember Ning'er?"
"Ning'er? Who is that?"
Just as Zhao Shuning asked this question, several bolts of heavenly thunder suddenly flashed across the sky. Yan Ruyu frowned tightly and quickly pulled Zhao Shuning into the Mysterious Realm.
"What's going on? The Star Disk Formation didn't indicate that there would be heavenly thunder today?"
Yan Ruyu murmured to himself.
Zhao Shuning didn't dare to say a word anymore.
Was it because she had said something she shouldn't have that she had attracted this unnecessary heavenly thunder?
The heavenly thunder was extremely fierce. The Mysterious Realm was also severely damaged by the several bolts of heavenly thunder.
By the time the heavenly thunder ended and they came out again, two months had passed.
Yan Ruyu was probably too tired.
After staying awake for two consecutive months, he finally got a chance to relax. As soon as he entered the cave and his body touched the stone slab, he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Shuning stood by.
Looking at Yan Ruyu on the bed, she walked over involuntarily.
The master was really good-looking.
No matter when, he always seemed so pure.
Zhao Shuning waved her hand gently. A censer appeared on the stone table. She took out the pill from her waist and put it into the censer. Then, she used the Red Lotus Karma Fire as a catalyst to ignite the pill in the censer.
For a moment, the soothing incense wafted through the air.
At this time, Yan Ruyu's cultivation base wasn't as profound as it would be five hundred years later. Under the effect of the soothing pill, his body completely relaxed.
Zhao Shuning sat on the edge of the bed.
Looking at Yan Ruyu on the bed.
The master's facial features were even more delicate than a woman's.
At this moment, Zhao Shuning thought, if she was really Luo Qiu, really his first disciple, how wonderful that would be.
During these days, they had done many things together. Zhao Shuning and Yan Ruyu had subdued monsters, tamed divine beasts, and brought a lot of blessings to the people around Haiyou City.
During this period, Zhao Shuning had rescued countless spiritual beasts with low spiritual power. The pills she refined were all given to the monsters in her hands.
In the cities they had passed through and the deep mountains and old forests they had trained in, basically all the people or the animals in the beast world had received Zhao Shuning's kindness.
Because of this, Yan Ruyu thought highly of his disciple Luo Qiu.
"Master, time always passes so quickly when I'm with you, no matter what we're doing."
Although Yan Ruyu was relaxed at this time, his body was still extremely cold.
Zhao Shuning sat beside the stone bed and gently leaned her upper body on Yan Ruyu's body.
"Master, I don't know what to do. Do I have to live in this plane only as Luo Feiyan? If I tell my real identity, will I attract heavenly thunder like I did two months ago?"
Yan Ruyu's eyelashes were very long, and his complexion was as white as snow.
His delicate facial features were flawless.
Zhao Shuning gently stroked Yan Ruyu's facial features one by one. Then, when her hand touched the corner of Yan Ruyu's lips, she stopped.
Then, she got up, bent down, and gently kissed him.
The fragrance of magnolias lingered around her nose.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Shuning's lips.
"Qiuqiu! What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a voice came from beside Zhao Shuning's ear.
She quickly looked up, but didn't find anything unusual.
The coral gem on her forehead glowed again. Finally, Zhao Shuning found the source of the voice.
"This gem?"
It was given to her by Mo Yan himself.
"Qiuqiu, how could you touch other men and do such improper things?"
Zhao Shuning felt a chill in her heart.
"Mo Yan, have you been monitoring me?"
"Who is that man?"
Mo Yan could only sense Zhao Shuning's actions at this time, but couldn't see what was happening here.
That was why he was so furious.
"Mo Yan, did you give me this forehead ornament just to monitor me? Don't you trust me?"
"This isn't the time to talk about this, Qiuqiu. Come back. Come back to me right now!"
Zhao Shuning said disappointedly, "I won't go back. At least, I won't go back now."
"The Changkong Academy has started recruiting students. Do you know that because you didn't show up, the quota is already full. Do you know what you're doing?"
"Mo Yan, I will go to the Changkong Academy. I've been delayed here. In two days, I'll set off. I'll do what I promised you."
"Qiuqiu, you can't fall in love with anyone. You can't. This is the most important thing."
Zhao Shuning didn't say a word anymore.
"Qiuqiu, you're the Tiannv of Loulan, a Loulan person, and my woman."
"I don't belong to anyone."
She tore off the forehead ornament and threw it away forcefully. Mo Yan's voice disappeared from her ear.
Zhao Shuning thought she had been too naive.
Looking at Mo Yan's smile every day, she thought that such a man, who was so kind to her, always said that she was the future hope of Loulan, and showed complete respect for her privacy, would never scheme against her.
But now, she finally understood that there weren't many people in the world that she could trust.
Looking at Yan Ruyu on the bed, Zhao Shuning gently kissed him between the eyebrows.
"Master, now, I have to do what I'm supposed to do."
The old man she had met before once said that if she wanted to go back, she had to complete her mission.
What was her mission in this plane?
At this moment, she seemed to understand.
