Chapter 12: Suspecting the Old Attack

Lu Lishen turned around immediately and saw Ye Musi's eyes narrowed slightly, with an expression of disbelief. A breeze blew past, lifting Ye Musi's wide sleeves and skirt. At that moment, the moonlight seemed to gather on him, emitting a faint silver light.

He was stunned by this scene, then he came to his senses and thought: What's going on? Isn't Master asleep? Besides, I have set up a barrier, so Master can't get out.

Ye Musi stepped forward quickly and raised his hand to hit him.

"Do you know where this is?"

Lu Lishen covered his face with his hands. He would never have thought that Ye Musi had recovered 30% of his cultivation just a few days ago. He would never have thought that his master pretended to be asleep in order to know what he was going to do.

"Master, please listen to your explanation."

Ye Musi was afraid that someone would come, so he quickly pulled Lu Lishen back to the small courtyard.

Lu Lishen knelt in front of Ye Musi, his face was red and swollen, and the mark of a slap was very obvious.

"You've grown up and become braver. You actually dared to go to a place like the Demon Locking Tower!"

Ye Musi's guess was correct; Lu Lishen had been tricked here in his previous life. Perhaps he had arranged for the witch at the Yunlie Manor Young Master's wedding banquet in his previous life, but the truth remained.

He seemed to be relieved. Fortunately, he came with him this time and did not let him make a big mistake.

"Master said I was wrong, so I was wrong." Lu Lishen raised his head after calming down, revealing half of his face that was red and swollen, wanting Ye Musi to calm down and feel sorry for him. "But I wouldn't go to that kind of place for no reason." He came forward and pulled up Ye Musi's dress. "Master, you don't know, Chen Hua is a hypocrite!"

Ye Musi pursed his lips and looked at Lu Lishen, who was kneeling on the ground, with some softness in his heart. Half of his face was red and swollen, and there was an obvious slap mark. It seemed that he had hit him too hard.

After all, he was the disciple he had raised himself, and he couldn't bear to see him like this, even though he had done such excessive things in the past.

"The wife Bai Chaoyan married is Chen Hua's biological daughter from another woman."

Bai Chaoyan is the young master of Yunlie Manor and also the male protagonist at the wedding banquet.

"Not only that, the one Bai Chaoyan loves is not that woman, but the one imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower..."

Lu Lishen didn't say anything else. He thought about his previous life. When he forced Ye Musi to have sex with him, the other party's disgusted look was deeply engraved in his mind.

He wondered what he should do if his master was against the love between humans and demons.

He didn't dare to say it, for he was afraid that his master would not accept it.

"What?" Ye Musi was suspicious. He didn't quite understand what Lu Lishen said.

"Bai Chaoyan loves someone else." Lu Lishen lowered his head and changed his words, "It's just that Chen Hua used a treacherous scheme, and Bai Chaoyan had no choice but to marry his daughter."

"You have no contact with Bai Chaoyan, how did you know?"

Lu Lishen brewed his words, and when he spoke again, his voice was already tearful. His nose was red and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. "It was someone inside the Demon Locking Tower who told me."

Seeing this, Ye Musi pulled Lu Lishen up and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"Master understands."

It was late at night and Lu Lishen did not return to his room, but slept in Ye Musi's room.

His rash actions today ultimately made his master suspicious of him.

Lu Lishen lay on the outside of the bed, listening to the even breathing sounds coming from the pillow.

He should be really asleep by now. He raised his hand, gently touched Ye Musi's face, and finally couldn't help but kissed her.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Ye Musi turned his head and met Lu Lishen's eyes.

There was no light in the room, but when their eyes met, they could clearly see each other's shadows in their pupils.

"Master, does love have to be between humans?" Lu Li was curious about what Ye Musi thought about the love between humans and demons, and humans and demons. Without waiting for the other party to answer, he asked anxiously, "Can't humans and demons be in love? What about humans and demons?"

Ye Musi turned his head and closed his eyes. He didn't know how to answer this question.

Common sense suggests that humans would find it unacceptable for a demon to fall in love with a human. It's not that demons are evil, but rather that their lifespans are so long. Humans only account for one thousandth of their lifespan, so how could such love last? Perhaps within a hundred or a thousand years, a demon would find another partner. However, if they encountered a deeply infatuated demon, they would vanish into the Three Realms along with their loved one. Or perhaps, they would seek a chance, waiting for an eternity.

Not to mention humans and demons. Demons are born to fight against immortals. Even if a demon wants to fall in love with a human, the immortals will be the first to disagree.

His master, Mu Chi, and Hua Jin were a prime example. As far as he could remember, they had always been deeply in love. Even before Hua Jin fell into demonism, the Immortal Sect had already disapproved of their relationship. Mu Chi was the Master of Hidden Valley, and he wanted to set an example. Love between a master and a disciple was a taboo; no one would support it.

Until Hua Jin fell into evil, the world became more opposed to him, forcing Hua Jin to be unable to endure it any longer. He killed many people, and the world was filled with corpses and blood.

Mu Chi didn't want to see Hua Jin killing people like this, so he had to sacrifice himself to seal Hua Jin.

"There might be a glimmer of hope for a human and a demon to fall in love, but it's absolutely impossible for a human and a demon to fall in love."

Hearing this, Lu Lishen lay down feeling disappointed. As expected, his master was also against the love between humans and demons.

"Why? Two people who clearly love each other, why can't they be together..." Then he said unwillingly, "If you love each other, you should be together."

He didn't understand. If he was a demon, would his master in the previous life not have committed suicide? Would they have been together forever?

"Love doesn't mean you have to be together." Ye Musi opened his eyes and looked into Lu Lishen's faintly glowing eyes, as if expecting something. "Sometimes we have to separate when we have no choice."

Lu Lishen stood up, pressed on Ye Musi, hugged him, kissed his lips gently, and invaded him bit by bit.

He doesn't care about all that. He loves his master and his master loves him, that's enough. If anyone objects, just kill them. Why bother with the hesitation? As long as the two of them have each other in their hearts, that's enough.

"Master, will we be together forever?"

"Maybe." Ye Musi answered unconsciously with his eyes blurred. If he hadn't been possessed by the devil, perhaps he would have really lived like this. In fact, he didn't know. He always felt confused. He really felt that this kind of time was good. He didn't want to be as tired as in his previous life.

"Don't say maybe, we will definitely be together forever." After saying that, he lowered his head again, pried open Ye Musi's tongue and teeth, and pushed his tongue deeper, deeper...

"Master cannot abandon his disciple."

"Yeah." Ye Musi was a little out of breath. Lu Lishen's voice came to his ears, but he could not hear it clearly. He answered in confusion.

The next day, Ye Musi was awakened by Lu Lishen. The two of them had not done any strenuous exercise last night, but he still felt like his body was falling apart.

After he packed up briefly, he went to the main hall to meet with the leaders of other sects.

The red satin in the main hall hangs lightly between the beams and pillars like clouds, and the golden borders sparkle in the morning light, adding a touch of luxury and dignity to this festive scene.

As soon as Ye Musi stepped into the door, the leaders of other sects greeted him warmly.

It was Chen Hua who spoke first, "How was your rest last night, Valley Master?"

Ye Musi looked at him and thought of what Lu Lishen said. Seeing such a generous person actually doing despicable things, it really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover.

However, one cannot believe everything Lu Lishen said.

"Fine."

After a brief chat, they each returned to their own small courtyard.

Ye Musi returned to the courtyard, but found that Lu Lishen, who was waiting for him, was gone. He immediately thought of the Demon Locking Tower.

So he avoided the guarding disciples and came to the gate of the Demon Locking Tower, but found that there was no change here.

He was about to leave when he heard a very weak female voice from inside.

"Save me, save my child... please..."

Ye Musi frowned. There seemed to be a weak woman imprisoned inside, but who was that?

Lu Lishen came here last night. Did he want to meet someone here?

Suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be a residual spell in the tower. When he raised his hand to check, someone discovered him.

“Who is it!?”

Ye Musi left immediately without giving the people behind him a chance to catch up.

When he returned to the courtyard, Lu Lishen had already returned.

"Master!" Lu Lishen walked over to Ye Musi, carrying the wine he had just brought back from somewhere else. "Master, look."

"Where have you been?"

Lu Lishen happily shared it with Ye Musi, but he had a serious expression on his face, as if he had made some mistake.
