39: To catch someone in the act of adultery?

The posture of the two at this moment was extremely ambiguous.

This contemporary Sword Immortal, usually cold and aloof, was now lying on Gu Yuan's shoulder with a charming expression.

In those beautiful eyes, there was also a hint of a dazed look.

And her originally neat black robe was now mostly unfastened.

Di Luoying, held by Gu Yuan and straddling his lap, felt extremely shy.

Although she had had relatively intimate contact with Gu Yuan before,

but, but it had never been as intimate as this.

Feeling Gu Yuan's hands wandering over her body,

Di Luoying endured the strange sensation coming from her body, opened her small mouth, and bit down on his shoulder.

"Hiss... Luoying, how did you learn to bite people?"

Gu Yuan pinched her chin, forcing her dodging gaze to look directly at him.

"You, you still dare to say that! What were you doing just now? Humph~"

Di Luoying bit her lip and glared at Gu Yuan with a flushed face.

Uh... Gu Yuan looked at his other hand which was still inside Luoying's clothes... Cough, he gave a light cough and then silently withdrew his hand.

Hmm... it still had some lingering warmth.

But just as he was about to say something, Yun Qingci's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Revered Master, have you rested? Um... I have something I want to tell you."

Almost the moment they heard Yun Qingci's voice,

Gu Yuan and Di Luoying separated instantly.

Di Luoying even tidied up her originally messy clothes in an instant.

Then she looked at Gu Yuan, her eyes full of shame and annoyance.

"Hurry up and hide, otherwise if Qing Ci sees you, how can we explain ourselves?"

Uh... Gu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

However, he was pushed directly into a nearby wardrobe by Di Luoying.

"Stay in there. I know you have some strange items; now, immediately, conceal your aura, do you hear me!"

Di Luoying fiercely dropped these words and then closed the wardrobe door.

By the time Gu Yuan reacted, he was already inside the wardrobe.

He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This shouldn't have been a big deal; even if Qing Ci came in and saw him, he could just say he was teaching a Cultivation Technique.

There was still a possibility of explaining that.

But now, Luoying had hidden him in the wardrobe.

If he were discovered by Qing Ci later, it would really be impossible to explain.

Gu Yuan sighed; it seemed he had to rely on himself.

He exchanged an Aura-Concealing Talisman from the System Mall and then stuck it on himself.

As long as he didn't make a sound, no one would be able to detect him.

In the room, Di Luoying finally breathed a sigh of relief after she could no longer sense Gu Yuan's aura.

I knew this guy had many strange items!

"Revered Master, why did you only just open the door? Eh, Revered Master, why is your face so red?"

Yun Qingci waited outside for a while before she saw her Revered Master open the door.

When she saw the blush that had not yet faded from her Revered Master's face, she asked curiously.

Hmm... Di Luoying pursed her lips and said softly:

"It's probably because it's too hot. Come in. Why have you come to see me?"

Eh...?

Yun Qingci walked into the room and was stunned for a moment upon hearing that.

Hot... Is it hot?

Why didn't I feel it?

Inside the wardrobe, Gu Yuan almost couldn't help laughing when he heard Luoying talking nonsense with a straight face.

He really didn't expect Luoying to be able to tell such a lie without changing her expression.

This was just too different from her usual cold and aloof self!

Yun Qingci sat in the spot where Gu Yuan had been sitting previously.

She was about to speak when she saw that there were still two cups of Spirit Tea on the table.

"Huh? Revered Master, were you talking to someone just now? This Spirit Tea isn't finished yet."

Di Luoying's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Um... not really. It's just that I haven't had the Spirit Tea of the Jade Moon Sect for a long time, so I poured two cups to drink together."

Oh... so that's how it is.

Yun Qingci nodded and then picked up the Spirit Tea that belonged to Gu Yuan.

"Then I came at just the right time. Hehe, Revered Master, I happen to be thirsty too, so let me have this cup~"

As she spoke, Yun Qingci picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

"Eh, you..."

Before Di Luoying could stop her, Yun Qingci had already finished it.

"Hmm? Revered Master, what's wrong? You're not being stingy, are you? Oh, I'll just have Gu Yuan prepare more for you tomorrow."

Seeing her Revered Master's strange expression, Yun Qingci said jokingly.

Hearing this, Di Luoying nodded with a peculiar expression.

Hmm... the cup Qing Ci just drank from was the one Gu Yuan had just used.

Is... is this what Gu Yuan told me about, that Indirect Kiss...?

But Qing Ci is my Disciple.

She and Gu Yuan... and I... Cough, I shouldn't think too much; the more I think about it, the weirder it feels.

Thinking of this, Di Luoying gave a light cough and said:

"Qing Ci, it's so late; why have you come to see me?"

Yun Qingci was still pondering over the tea.

Hearing her Revered Master's words, she stopped thinking about the tea and instead said somewhat hesitantly:

"Um... it's actually nothing much. I just wanted to ask Revered Master, why did you come personally this time?"

Yun Qingci originally wanted to ask if her Revered Master had known Gu Yuan before.

Although she had gotten an answer from Gu Yuan.

But for some reason, she always felt that there was something strange between her Revered Master and Gu Yuan.

And she was the kind of person who felt uncomfortable all over if her thoughts were not clear.

Therefore, after tossing and turning, Yun Qingci finally decided to come and ask her Revered Master.

However, she had also become smarter and didn't ask directly.

Instead, she first asked why her Revered Master had come to the Jade Moon Sect in person this time.

Di Luoying was slightly startled upon hearing this and then couldn't help but glance toward the wardrobe.

"Um... it's just because I haven't seen Yingxue for a long time. Now that she is Empress Qiongyue and it happens to be the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly, I should naturally come to see her."

Di Luoying's words were flawless and well-reasoned, forcing Yun Qingci to be convinced.

Even though she still felt something was strange in her heart,

but since her Revered Master said so, it wasn't appropriate for her to continue asking.

"So that's it. Revered Master, are you on very good terms with that Empress Qiongyue?"

Yun Qingci asked curiously.

She had never heard her Revered Master talk about the past.

After all, her Revered Master had always been cold and indifferent; it was impossible for her to take the initiative to tell her those things.

But for some reason, her Revered Master's temperament seemed to have changed a lot lately.

This also allowed Yun Qingci to summon the courage to ask.

Hearing Qing Ci's question, a look of nostalgia appeared on Di Luoying's face.

"Yingxue and I..."

She began to tell Yun Qingci about some things from the past.

The Revered Master and Disciple chatted quite happily, but it was hard on Gu Yuan in the wardrobe.

The wardrobe didn't have much space to begin with, so being stuffed inside was incredibly uncomfortable.

That was one thing; he could endure it and accept it.

But Luoying was now actually starting to tell Qing Ci about the past.

No, sister, have you forgotten that you have someone hidden in the wardrobe!

Gu Yuan thought somewhat resentfully.

But he couldn't speak up to remind her.

After all, with a single Voice Transmission, his aura would be exposed.

If he were seen by Qing Ci then, there would be no way for him to explain himself.
