86: Chapter 86 The Ceremony Between Master and Disciple

Last night.

From the slow guidance at the very beginning.

To the intertwining of lips and teeth later on.

Finally, she was even forced to ascend a peak she was experiencing for the first time.

At the mere thought of that unforgettable sensation, Liu Qingyan's cheeks were instantly dyed a mesmerizing crimson.

A massive sense of shame swallowed her whole.

The reputation and the propriety between Revered Master and Disciple that she had upheld until now had been completely destroyed overnight.

Was this a distortion of human nature?

Or a moral degradation?

She had wanted to angrily rebuke Mo Zixing, who was before her eyes.

But for some reason, the words that were about to leave her mouth were stuck firmly in her throat, and she could say nothing.

In a place she could not perceive.

A personality trait named [Loyalty] was slowly taking root.

It transformed her original obsession with the [Legacy] entirely into trust for the person before her.

Even the shame and annoyance in the depths of her heart slowly transformed into an indescribable, lingering affection.

Subconsciously, she wanted to sit up.

But the moment she moved, she felt a sore and swollen discomfort coming from her lower body.

The arm she had just used to prop herself up went limp.

Unable to support herself, she fell back into the bed.

Seeing this, Mo Zixing stepped forward to help her, but was fiercely glared at by her as she lifted her eyes:

"Mo Zixing, how dare you yesterday..."

However, that glance, misty with moisture, not only lacked even the slightest bit of intimidation, but even added a touch of indescribable allure.

Liu Qingyan bit her lip, stifled for a long time, and finally only managed to squeeze out one sentence from her throat:

"How dare you do such a thing!"

"What happened last night?"

A look of innocent amusement hung on Mo Zixing's face.

He just sat by the bedside, his tone as pure and innocent as a well-behaved Disciple who understood nothing.

Looking at him like this, Liu Qingyan's anger flared up.

But her whole body was sore and weak, unable to exert any strength, so she had to borrow the hand he offered, gritting her teeth as she struggled to sit up.

The moment she moved, her collar, which was already not properly fastened, slipped even looser, revealing a large expanse of skin on her shoulder.

The stark whiteness was dazzling to the eyes.

"You're still playing dumb!"

Liu Qingyan lifted her eyes to glare at him again, touching her slightly swollen lips:

"Don't you know what you did to me last night yourself?"

"This Disciple is slow-witted and truly does not know."

Mo Zixing suppressed a laugh, his face remaining serious, and he gave a slight Disciple's bow:

"Please, Revered Master, enlighten me. What exactly did this Disciple do wrong so that I may accept punishment."

Seeing his blatant display of shamelessness, Liu Qingyan's belly full of anger simply could not be vented.

"You!"

She held it in for a long time, and finally could only turn her face away in a huff, her voice actually carrying a trace of grievance:

"The propriety between Revered Master and Disciple has all been disrupted by you!"

"If this matter were to spread, as the Peak Revered Master of Qingdan Peak, how would I stand in the Sect in the future?"

"Revered Master, that is incorrect."

Mo Zixing leaned forward half a step, getting even closer, his tone sounding quite serious:

"What we did last night was clearly just a sparring exercise between Revered Master and Disciple, diligently Cultivating."

"If Revered Master does not believe me, why not sense your own cultivation Realm?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan was stunned. Doubtingly, she closed her eyes and focused her mind to look internally at her Dantian and Meridians.

Upon this look.

She widened her eyes in shock.

She had originally only been at the second level of Crystallization.

Looking now.

She had actually, unknowingly, stepped into the third level of Crystallization.

Within her Meridians, her spiritual power flowed with incomparable smoothness.

Even the compatibility between her Spiritual Root and the Dao of alchemy was higher than before.

What Mo Zixing said was actually all true.

Her cultivation had really obtained a rapid improvement!

Liu Qingyan finally understood.

So this brat had been planning this from the very beginning.

The so-called guiding of spiritual power through massage.

Was actually just to lower her guard, so he could carry out his "special treatment"!

Yet, the results were indeed ridiculously good.

It really had brought her immense benefits.

She couldn't find a reason to be angry even if she wanted to.

In just one night's time, it was actually better than the results of half a year of hard seclusion.

"Revered Master believes me now, right?"

Mo Zixing looked at her shocked expression and couldn't help but smile gently:

"In order for Revered Master to break through to the Golden Core and extend your Lifespan sooner, I have expended quite a bit of physical strength."

"Only in this way could I exchange it for such a rapid cultivation Breakthrough for you, Revered Master."

He pulled the clothing that had slipped off Liu Qingyan's shoulder back up, his voice full of sincerity, as if he, Mo Zixing, were the victim:

"I have made such a great sacrifice, but it was all for the good of your body, Revered Master."

"You Rebellious Disciple!"

Hearing him say this, Liu Qingyan, both ashamed and angry, raised her hand and lightly tapped his arm:

"So you're saying it's my fault then?"

However, the force was light and airy; rather than a scolding, it was more like an intimate playful gesture.

After hitting him, she was stunned herself, hurriedly withdrawing her hand, her heart beating so fast it almost felt like it would burst out of her chest.

She herself hadn't expected that she would actively make such an intimate gesture towards her own Disciple.

Mo Zixing took the opportunity to hold her wrist, softening his tone even more:

"Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know. As long as we don't say anything, absolutely no third person will ever know."

"If Revered Master wants to break through to the Golden Core early, other than this method, there is no faster path."

"I surely couldn't just watch as Revered Master's Lifespan runs out, could I?"

Mo Zixing moved to her side and added in a low voice:

"There will be many more days of such cultivation sparring in the future; Revered Master, you must get used to it sooner."

Liu Qingyan's waist was silently wrapped by his arm, and her whole body subconsciously trembled slightly.

She wanted to break free, but couldn't bring herself to use force.

She could only lower her eyes, using her long silver hair to cover her crimson cheeks.

She knew that what Mo Zixing said was the truth.

With only this much Lifespan left, normal cultivation simply couldn't catch up to the threshold of the Golden Core.

The results of last night were also clearly laid out before her eyes.

But the status gap between them as Revered Master and Disciple was there.

Although she had already broken the taboo for the first time last night.

Did they have to continue like this in the future?

How could Qingdan Peak become such a place of debauchery!

But thinking it over and over.

It seemed there really was no other way.

The trust in the depths of her heart ultimately outweighed all concerns.

In the end, she only let out a soft hmph.

She didn't rebuke him again, nor did she deny his words.

It counted as tacitly accepting his argument.

Seeing her like this, Mo Zixing simply hugged her even tighter.

Just as he was about to say something more, to coax his Revered Master into agreeing to future daily cultivation.

A report from the female Disciple guarding the door, barely able to hide her panic, suddenly came from outside the Sleeping Quarters:

"Peak Revered Master Liu!"

"Elder Su Li is outside asking to see you!"

Su Li?

Why did she run here?

Mo Zixing blinked.

"Liu Qingyan."

Before he understood what was happening, Su Li's cold, sharp voice came from outside the door:

"Mo Zixing has been at your place for a full seven days without a single reply."

"If you don't open the door, I will come in myself."
