95: I'm here to teach you swordsmanship!

Di Luoying brought Gu Yuan to the top of a mountain peak.

She looked at Yun Qingci, who was wandering around in the distance with Xi Nian and Tian Mei, and said softly:

"Qing Ci's original personality was very dull. Having practiced the sword since she was a child, she has never shown a side like this."

Uh... Gu Yuan felt a wave of tenderness in his heart upon hearing this.

He sat down beside Di Luoying and then took her small hand in his.

While Luoying was talking about Little Noodle, she was also talking about herself.

Before she met him, she had always been alone, practicing her Swordsmanship and cultivation.

At least now Qing Ci had him and others to accompany her.

But back then, Luoying had always been alone.

Di Luoying did not pull her hand away when Gu Yuan held it.

Although Gu Yuan didn't say anything, she could feel his heartache for her.

It was this very heartache that made her extremely dependent on him.

Who in the world would have thought that she, the Sword Immortal of the Liyue Sword Sect, was always so lonely deep in her heart?

"Luoying, no matter what, I will be by your side now and in the future."

Gu Yuan gave a gentle tug, pulling Di Luoying into his arms as he spoke softly.

Di Luoying simply pursed her lips at his words. She reached out her slender, jade-like fingers and poked Gu Yuan's chest a few times.

"I'm afraid I'm not the only woman by your side. Tell me, what's the deal with that Little Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect and that woman named Tian Mei?"

As she finished speaking, Di Luoying simply sat astride Gu Yuan's lap, grabbed his collar, and asked coldly.

Hmm... although Luoying's current questioning manner was very cold,

this posture, along with the faint fragrance emanating from her body, made Gu Yuan's heart race.

*Cough*... Gu Yuan swallowed hard and caught Di Luoying's small hands, saying:

"That's a long story, Luoying. Speaking of which, I really like your current cold appearance. Hmm, it gives me a special feeling~"

As Gu Yuan spoke, his hands began to wander restlessly.

It couldn't be helped; Di Luoying's cold demeanor was simply too seductive.

Mgh... After being fondled by Gu Yuan for a while, Di Luoying's body went weak, and she slumped into his arms.

Pah, this bad fellow is so skilled at this sort of thing... "You, you mustn't be so presumptuous! I—this deity is here to test your Swordsmanship! You... mgh... stop...!"

A few traces of a blush gradually appeared on Di Luoying's originally cold and beautiful face.

She bit her lip, suppressing the strange sensations coming from her body, and reached out to block Gu Yuan's movements.

However, how could her soft, feigned resistance possibly block Gu Yuan's advance?

Within a few moments, Di Luoying was slumped against Gu Yuan's shoulder, her whole body going limp as she allowed him to bully her.

This bad man, I hate him so much...!

..."Hehe, Xi Nian, Tian Mei, our Liyue Sword Sect is quite alright, isn't it? It's not nearly as bad as Gu Yuan made it out to be!"

Yun Qingci said with a giggle after taking Xi Nian and Tian Mei for a tour around the Liyue Sword Sect.

"Yes, it truly lives up to the name of the Liyue Sword Sect."

Tian Mei nodded seriously.

From what she had just seen, the philosophy that the Liyue Sword Sect had always held had never changed.

"Gu Yuan was just speaking casually, Qing Ci. How can you still take it seriously?"

Xi Nian shook her head with a slight smile.

She could see that Qing Ci and Gu Yuan were a pair of bickering lovers—the kind that seemed naturally at odds with each other.

Yet, the relationship between these two was exceptionally good, which was very strange.

"Hmph, that guy only knows how to annoy me. But, hehe, he must be being strictly taught by Revered Master right now, ehehehe..."

A look of schadenfreude appeared on Yun Qingci's small face.

Revered Master had always been very strict, and since she had previously taught Gu Yuan Swordsmanship,

well... that made Gu Yuan something like her half-Disciple.

And then, adding to that, she had just embellished her account of Gu Yuan's 'expectations' during this period.

Hehe, Gu Yuan must be being severely tormented by Revered Master right now~

Thinking of this, Yun Qingci couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"Come on, let's go see how Gu Yuan is being taught by Revered Master. Hehe, he must be in a very miserable state right now!"

Yun Qingci's eyes darted around as she spoke with some excitement.

Uh... Xi Nian's mouth opened slightly upon hearing her words, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She knew about the relationship between that Sword Immortal and Gu Yuan... well... after all, Gu Yuan had told her privately before.

Well, of course, Xi Nian had grown somewhat accustomed to Gu Yuan being such a philanderer.

But now... looking at Qing Ci's excited face, Xi Nian really couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.

After all, the Revered Master she imagined was currently teaching Gu Yuan might actually be the one being bullied by him instead... "Alright, but Qing Ci, do you know where Gu Yuan and your Revered Master are?"

Tian Mei, on the other hand, was quite interested and asked curiously.

After all, deep down, Tian Mei still secretly wanted to see Gu Yuan get deflated.

Even though she was his woman.

But... mgh... thinking about how she was left alone in the room when they first met, and then, and then being bullied in such a way... Tian Mei felt the same as Qing Ci, wanting to secretly see Gu Yuan in an embarrassing situation.

Well, this could be considered getting a bit of revenge for her past self!

"Ehehehe, Tian Mei, that's a great question. I saw it just now; Revered Master took Gu Yuan to that mountain peak over there."

Yun Qingci gave a sly laugh and pointed to a mountain peak ahead.

Tian Mei couldn't help but show a smile upon hearing this.

The two of them hit it off immediately; they glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Then, standing on either side of Xi Nian, they grabbed her arms and headed straight for that mountain peak.

"You aren't allowed to tip off Gu Yuan, hmph. For someone who's supposed to be the cold Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect, why do you become so obedient the moment you're in front of that guy? Honestly."

Yun Qingci complained while rolling her eyes as she and Tian Mei escorted Xi Nian along.

"If others found out, their jaws would probably drop in shock."

Mgh... Hearing Qing Ci say this, Xi Nian mumbled a few words, then simply lowered her head with a red face and let them pull her along.

She couldn't help it; everything Qing Ci said was true... mgh... but she couldn't help herself either.

As soon as she was held by Gu Yuan and heard him say those... sweet words,

well... she would lose track of what she was thinking, that feeling where her mind goes completely blank... "Eh, but wouldn't this disturb Gu Yuan and Sword Immortal Di? What if..."

Xi Nian still wanted to say something to stop them. After all, what if Gu Yuan was doing something with Sword Immortal Di... and they saw it? That would be...
