28: Chapter 28 Yang Weile's Warning

After the grand competition ended.

Ji Taichang returned to the Pill Hall, and when Yang Yao entered her Cultivation Room, he took the opportunity to follow her inside.

Yang Yao had a curvaceous and supple figure, wearing a pale yellow Chest-high Ruqun that accentuated her perfect body, making Ji Taichang's eyes widen as he couldn't help but steal a few extra glances.

For a beauty, one glance is respect.

To keep looking is to keep respecting...

Yang Yao's face flushed red under Ji Taichang's burning gaze. She quickly turned around, her heart racing as she whispered, "Xiao Chang, you are now a True Disciple. You should go into Secluded Cultivation to prepare for the opening of the Secret Realm. You don't need to do the work of a Pill Hall Deacon anymore; after all, the treatment of a True Disciple is much better than that of a Deacon..."

Before she could finish, her soft little hand was suddenly grasped by Ji Taichang.

"I'm not listening."

Ji Taichang stood before her, his handsome face smiling as he looked at her affectionately. "If I step down from the position of Pill Hall Deacon, wouldn't I lose the chance to work with Sister Yang Yao and see you every day?"

"You... stop fooling around!"

Yang Yao's face grew even redder as she flusteredly pulled her hand back.

With the smile still on his face, Ji Taichang said softly, "Sister Yang Yao, I truly like you. I know you're afraid of gossip, but now that I'm a True Disciple, I will definitely become a Sect Elder within a few years."

"When that time comes, we will both be Sect Elders, and being together will be perfectly legitimate. No one will oppose or gossip about us then."

"Give me a chance, okay?"

Ji Taichang's words stirred Yang Yao's heart!

If Ji Taichang really became a Sect Elder, his status would be equal to hers. It seemed... it would be only natural for the two of them to be together!

At this thought, Yang Yao's heart rate quickened, and a certain idea began to grow in her mind.

Then, her soft, delicate hand was held once more, and Ji Taichang's warm, powerful hand wrapped around her slender waist, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Yang Yao shuddered, biting her lip as she scolded playfully, "Talk to me again when you actually become an Elder!"

She had to steel herself and use a lot of effort to push Ji Taichang away and make him leave the Alchemy Room.

[Ding! Detected that Yang Yao's favorability has increased by 3 points.]

[Yang Yao's favorability: 65 (When favorability reaches 100, a surprise will occur!)]

Hearing the System's wonderful notification, the smile on Ji Taichang's face grew even wider.

Yang Yao was clearly moved and had tacitly agreed to his proposal.

Ji Taichang headed to the Sect's Sacred Grounds to Cultivate.

Of course.

He didn't actually need to Cultivate to increase his Cultivation Base, but having finally become a True Disciple, it would be suspicious if he gave up such a precious cultivation opportunity!

This was a valley located deep within the Qingyun Sect. The Spiritual Qi here was already abundant and pure, and a massive Spirit Gathering Array had been laid underground, causing Spiritual Qi to gather continuously.

Ji Taichang and the other nine True Disciples each found a spot in the valley and began their meditative cultivation.

Ji Taichang quietly contemplated the Turtle Breath Art.

Until night fell, a tall and straight figure silently appeared in the valley. A cold and terrifying aura washed over him, causing even Ji Taichang to feel considerable pressure.

"Greetings, Master!"

Ji Taichang opened his eyes to see Yang Weile standing before him, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Come out with me for a moment."

Yang Weile's voice was cold as he turned to leave.

As a Master, it was normal to summon one's Disciple, so Ji Taichang being taken away by Yang Weile did not arouse any suspicion.

Until Ji Taichang arrived at the small courtyard where Yang Weile lived.

"You think that by killing Li Hongyun, you can have Lin Xueyue all to yourself?"

Yang Weile suddenly spoke, staring into Ji Taichang's eyes. "There are four days left. If she still isn't pregnant by then, I will find someone else! Don't think that just because you've become a True Disciple, you can defy me!"

Yang Weile snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

"Xiao Chang... you took too much of a risk killing Li Hongyun today. You've not only offended Yang Weile but also those close to Li Hongyun..."

Lin Xueyue pulled Ji Taichang into her bedroom, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm not afraid of offending people; I'm only afraid of losing you!"

Ji Taichang suddenly hugged Lin Xueyue's delicate body. Instantly possessed by the spirit of a Best Actor, he said affectionately, "Yue'er, I love you! Never mind killing Li Hongyun—for you, I would even walk through fire and brimstone..."
