Chapter 282: Do You Love Him?

world to pay the price for your capriciousness" Xiao Yuge held her back."I..."“Alright, there’s no time left. You stay here and keep an eye on them. I’ll be back when dawn breaks!” Xiao Yu Ge squeezed..."But this might offend you..." After all, a lone man and woman staying in the water together, even touching skin, goes against propriety. He was even more afraid that his secret, one he couldn't speak aloud, would spill out with the current.

Xiao Yuge had basically understood, but she wore an indifferent expression: "Brother Ye, although I grew up in the Xiangfu and learned all those polite smiles and concealed steps, I've never taken those worldly customs to heart. Just going for a swim, what's there to be afraid of" Neither in her previous life nor this one, had she ever been a shy and reserved young lady.

"This..." Night No Joy, who grew up crawling among the dead since he was little, naturally didn't care about these worldly matters. If it were just an ordinary friend, he wouldn't mind, but she was different. He didn't want his careless actions to damage her reputation in even the slightest way.

"Midnight!" Seeing he was still hesitating, Xiao Yuge directly called for Midnight.

"Miss Xiao." Midnight was also the kind that appeared instantly upon summons.

"Get me a set of clean clothes, and get Ye Ge a set too."

In the dark night, Ying followed instinctively glanced at his master. He nodded mutely: "Good." But in his heart he was muttering to himself, what are his master and Miss Xiao planning Why prepare clothes Could it be... Suddenly, he thought of something dirty, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Midnight, put away those thoughts! Leave now! No one is allowed near here without a summons!" Ye Wuhuan saw through him and glared.

"Yes!" Despite being glared at, Mingye felt a surge of joy inside. Was his master finally going to get what he wished for Would Qianji Pavilion soon have its mistress

Xiao Yuge might not know how many little calculations were going on in Ye Wuhuan's mind at night. Seeing Ye Wuhuan still standing, she grabbed him and jumped into the water. The piercing cold made her shiver uncontrollably! It was early winter, so the water shouldn't be this cold.

"This Mirror Lake is comparable to a cold pool. If I just stay in the pavilion, I'll come here every day to cultivate, which is very beneficial for improving my internal strength. You might feel cold at first when you come down, but it will be fine later." To ease the awkwardness, Ye Wuhuan introduced this Mirror Lake.

"Hmm." Xiao Yuge nodded. The water of Jinghu wasn't deep, only reaching to the chest when standing. However, to use one's inner strength, one had to sit cross-legged in the water, which was a bit inconvenient.

“Girl, try to take a deep breath, cross your legs, and let your body float on the water…” Ye Wuhuan patiently instructed her. Their internal energy came from the same source, he could do it, Ge'er definitely could too.

Following Ye Wuhuan's instructions, Xiao Yuge soon found herself sitting cross-legged on the water. She extended her hand, closed her eyes, and slowly followed Ye Wuhuan's lead as they breathed in unison.

The night was filled with tension. For her love that she couldn't speak of, had already been chained by him the moment she said she saw him as a brother. His heart that loved her, was locked up tight. But now, that locked heart began to stir again.

He felt the surge of uncontrolled true qi within her, threatening to burst forth. He quickly calmed his mind and scolded himself: "Ye Wuhuan, Ye Wuhuan, you idiot! What are you thinking about at this time Are you trying to kill her"

Then, he calmed himself down and focused on guiding her qi flow. With his help, Xiao Yu Ge gradually felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort within her body. The stagnant qi began to circulate throughout her body before returning slowly to her dantian.

After about two hours, Xiao Yuge finally retracted her hands. She ran her own internal energy and it flowed smoothly without any hindrance. It seemed that with the Mirror Lake and Ye Ge's help, she should be fine. However, Ye Wuhuan's next words crushed her joy.

"Lass, it's okay for now, you must stop from this moment on and cease practicing that Life and Death Scripture. Otherwise, one day, you won't be able to control it! You will fall into demonic obsession!"

"Night Big Brother, if I have this kind of situation again next time, I will still come here. Or maybe, every time I practice, I'll practice here. It should be fine, right" It was almost the final level, Xiao Yuge said anything she wasn't willing to give up. What's more, it seemed that this would be the only way to save Qian Tingxuan. She couldn't just give up like this.

She didn't want to owe Qian Tingxuan so much, she wanted to pay him back!

Seeing her unwillingness to give up, Ye Wuhuan was both angry and anxious: "Girl, why are you so persistent in practicing this life-and-death secret Not to mention whether it has the legendary power, just the consequences of reaching the later stages are unimaginable. Don't you value your life"

"Night Brother, I'm sorry, I have a reason why I absolutely must practice it."

"What kind of reason would make someone risk their life Is it revenge Girl, tell me, who is your enemy I don't care who he is, even if he is the current emperor, I will avenge you!" For her, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the emperor, or even destroy a country.

"Night Big Bro, thank you, but I still have to practice..." Xiao Yuge stubbornly lowered her head.

"You!" Ye Wuhuan was quite helpless. Back when she came to Qianji Pavilion seeking secret techniques, he should have known that he couldn't stop what she was going to do: "Does Qian Tingxuan know" Although he was in Qianji Pavilion, he still kept tabs on her every move. He had also heard a little about the entanglement between her and Qian Tingxuan.

Xiao Yu Ge shook her head softly. “I don’t know.”

"Why not tell him"

"Why tell him" Xiao Yuge countered, this matter of course couldn't be told to Qian Tingxuan. If he knew, he wouldn't hesitate to abolish all her martial arts, rendering all her previous efforts useless.

"Aren't you and him already... girl, do you love him" Ye Wuhuan stared intently at her.

Xiao Yu Ge's gaze faltered, this question seemed something she had never truly thought about. Even back in NanBei Village, when they went through the ceremony of marriage, she had only seen it as a temporary solution, never taking it seriously.

But her hesitation gave Ye Wuhuan the answer. With her personality, if she didn't love him, she would have said it directly. But her hesitation proved that Qian Tingxuan held a certain place in her heart. Perhaps, she just hadn't realized it yet. The heart locked away seemed to be pulled hard!

"Night Brother, our clothes are still wet. Let's go back and change first, then we can talk." Xiao Yuge turned to walk away.

Without a direct answer from her, Ye Wuhuan felt a pang of disappointment. He quietly followed behind her, even though he knew deep down it was impossible. Still, humans have that damn greed, always thinking, why can't the one she loves be him

"Night Big Bro, please keep my training of the Life and Death Sutra a secret, okay" After changing her clothes, Xiao Yuge walked out of the room. She was afraid he would tell Qian Tingxuan about it. she kept looking at him. She watched his impressive bearing, unlike those men in the city who were thin as sticks. He looked full-faced.What's going onXiao Yuge and He Ming looked at each other, obvi...
