283: Master and Disciple Meet
Looking at the golden-haired woman in front of him, Mu Wuchen reached out and gently stroked her hair, which was being blown by the breeze. He nodded slightly and slowly spoke.
“Get up.”
Although Mu Wuchen had not been here these years, he had always been paying attention to her.
Her every move was within Mu Wuchen’s control.
Beichen Lintian’s talent had also always been observed by him.
Even though Beichen Lintian had not received enhancement from the System Divine Hall, her cultivation speed was not at all slower than other women who had been transformed by the System Divine Hall…
He had originally thought that allowing a proud daughter of heaven to come here and become a prisoner might cause her to resist or be unaccustomed to it.
Even Luo Shuihan, when she was imprisoned, showed obvious resistance, and even tried to break the restrictions within her body several times…
However, Beichen Lintian was very obedient and showed no abnormalities, which was somewhat beyond Mu Wuchen’s expectation.
In fact, in Beichen Lintian’s heart, she did not harbor much resentment towards Mu Wuchen.
On the contrary, in her opinion, her feelings for Mu Wuchen were more of respect and awe, and even a hint of gratitude.
Her current situation was already the best possible outcome.
She was a loser, yet she not only preserved her life and cultivation but also her former family.
Furthermore, when she was suffering from the backlash of the Human Emperor’s legacy, it was Mu Wuchen who intervened and saved her life…
At this moment, having received Mu Wuchen’s approval, Beichen Lintian slowly rose from Mu Wuchen’s feet.
This time, her gaze turned towards Luo Shuihan, who was behind Mu Wuchen.
Luo Shuihan was her master, and her ability to become the Ancient Domain’s top prodigy and gain recognition for the Human Emperor’s legacy was inseparable from Luo Shuihan’s help…
Because of her powerful fate, she had been without parents since childhood. Originally, she was just an unnoticed member of a collateral branch of the Beichen Family.
At that time, although she possessed extremely high talent, she ultimately did not cause much of a stir.
There was no other reason; without sufficient background, a pearl could also be covered in dust. And all of this suddenly changed with the appearance of Luo Shuihan!
With Luo Shuihan’s help, her status within the Bei Chen family suddenly rose, even surpassing Northern Star Yuan Yi, the patriarch of the Bei Chen family, in a very short period, becoming a renowned genius in the Ancient Domain!
Without Luo Shuihan, she would still have been able to grow, but it would have been absolutely impossible for her to gain recognition for the Human Emperor’s legacy so quickly, or to achieve such a transcendent status so rapidly!
It could be said that Luo Shuihan was the person she trusted and was closest to in this world.
When she entered the System World, she had no other attachments, not even to the Bei Chen family.
But she was particularly worried about the missing Luo Shuihan.
She feared that Mu Wuchen would kill Luo Shuihan, and at the same time, she feared that her always proud master would not be able to endure her current status as a prisoner…
Now, seeing Luo Shuihan again, a huge weight in her heart finally lifted…
However, upon seeing Luo Shuihan at this moment, Beichen Lintian vaguely felt that the Luo Shuihan opposite her seemed somewhat…
Different now…
She looked at Luo Shuihan with confusion.
Facing her disciple’s gaze, Luo Shuihan felt uneasy in her heart, and her eyes flickered, but she still suppressed her feelings and maintained her usual cool and distant demeanor…
“Lintian…”
“This past while…”
“Are you…”
“Doing well?”
Although Luo Shuihan was uneasy, upon seeing Beichen Lintian again, she still walked to her side and asked with concern.
Without Luo Shuihan even noticing, as she inquired about Beichen Lintian, she naturally and gently took the other’s small hand…
Hearing Luo Shuihan’s soft, gentle, and pleasant voice, and feeling the touch on her body, Beichen Lintian was visibly stunned.
She looked at her hand, which was being held, and then looked at Luo Shuihan beside her with a bewildered expression…
“Master, you…”
She was the person who understood Luo Shuihan’s nature best. She was most familiar with Luo Shuihan’s cool, distant, and unapproachable personality.
Although she had spent a long time with Luo Shuihan, she had never seen her speak so softly, let alone initiate such physical contact as now…
As someone close to and trusted by Luo Shuihan, she was able to see Luo Shuihan’s appearance.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t even be able to clearly see Luo Shuihan’s appearance; no one in the Bei Chen family had ever seen Luo Shuihan’s true face!
But after not seeing her for over ten years, her master now seemed completely different from when they parted…
As if sensing Beichen Lintian’s confusion, Luo Shuihan also seemed to realize something and suddenly let go of Beichen Lintian’s hand as if she had received an electric shock…
“Lintian…”
“I…”
She anxiously tried to explain, but she stammered and couldn’t say anything.
If it were in the past, she naturally couldn’t have made such a gesture.
But under Mu Wuchen’s coercion and guidance over these years, Luo Shuihan herself hadn’t realized that she had long grown accustomed to such physical contact…
Now, with just a glance, a word, or an action from Mu Wuchen, she even knew what to do next…
Simply put, the current Luo Shuihan had become accustomed to being touched by Mu Wuchen…
However, Beichen Lintian was unaware of these matters. Her impression of Luo Shuihan remained from before their separation.
Now, Luo Shuihan’s inadvertent display of her demeanor naturally aroused Beichen Lintian’s suspicion.
Opposite her, Beichen Lintian’s red and blue heterochromatic eyes looked at Luo Shuihan with increasing suspicion…
Such an intimate gesture, could it truly be something her high and mighty, cool and distant master could do?
Moreover, the way she now faced herself, stammering and flustered like a little girl, was too different from her former personality…
Beichen Lintian was full of doubt and curiosity.
However, she was also straightforward, so she directly asked Luo Shuihan.
“Master, has something happened during this time?”
“You…”
“Seem different…”
Hearing Beichen Lintian’s question, Luo Shuihan lowered her head slightly, her long, slightly upturned eyelashes gently fluttering.
From her appearance, she seemed to be considering how to explain to Beichen Lintian…
If it were anyone else, she could openly admit her relationship with Mu Wuchen.
Even when facing others in the Qianyan Immortal Domain, or even her fellow disciples, she could boldly admit it without any burden.
But the person opposite her was her disciple, and a disciple she had raised since childhood…
Her feelings for Beichen Lintian were very subtle.
However, just as Luo Shuihan’s mind raced, pondering how to explain to Beichen Lintian, a lazy and charming female voice suddenly spoke…
Luo Shuihan had been slow to answer, but Little Fox Su Meier spoke first.
“What else could it be?”
“Your master has a man, has forgotten her disciple, and is deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate herself…”
“Little girl, haven’t you noticed that your master has become much prettier now?”
