Although Su Chen and the other person could not see Su Yang's expression at this moment.

But they could see Sect Leader Xia.

The intense love in their eyes, the unwavering focus on the one person before them—they were all too familiar with that look!

Because that's the kind of expression they gave Su Yang!

Both of them had a bad feeling.

Su Chen and Jian Yan thought their only opponent might be the person beside them, but they suddenly realized that they had overlooked the biggest threat from beginning to end!

And that guy not only wanted to undermine them, but also wanted to smear them with excrement!

A woman's heart is the most poisonous!

"Xia Lian, you're really vicious!" x2.

Her slender, jade-like hands gently cupped Su Yang's (Xu Wan's) small face.

The tenderness in her eyes replaced the majesty of an emperor; at this moment, Xia Lian seemed to be just an ordinary person in this world.

Su Yang looked puzzled, not understanding why her master was looking at her like that.

Xia Lian's glistening lips twitched slightly several times, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

This was the first time she had stopped hiding her emotions, but even as the great emperor, she was deeply moved at this moment.

"Master..."

He called out Xia Lian softly.

"Um?"

Xia Lian also softly hummed in agreement.

Su Yang hesitated, unsure of what to say, and Xia Lian noticed his expression.

But this made her expression darken.

Perhaps she was indeed prepared to tell Su Yang all her thoughts completely.

But it was clear that she could also see that her disciple truly had no feelings for her whatsoever.

Even though she no longer hid her love and expressed it openly, Su Yang still couldn't feel it at all.

Because she had never thought about it that way.

She was her master, and in her heart, she probably only felt reverence for her, nothing more.

This caused Xia Lian a sharp pain in her heart; it was something she didn't want to see.

"Wan'er..."

Xia Lian's expression was complicated as she murmured Su Yang's name.

She didn't know if it was right for her to express her feelings.

She was afraid; as an emperor, she was afraid.

Su Yang seemed to suddenly realize something. Even if he was slow to notice, he should have sensed something different by now.

A hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he even began to unconsciously want to back away.

But this was a devastating blow to Xia Lian.

She knew that Su Yang had figured something out after all, but his reaction was like a knife piercing her heart.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, or what she was resisting.

Perhaps her feelings are wrong, but she is still her master, isn't she? Surely she wouldn't hurt her?

Xia Lian felt a surge of anger and resentment towards Su Yang.

Especially when she sensed that Su Yang was trying to distance himself from her, Xia Lian could no longer suppress her emotions.

She didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

She didn't understand why she wouldn't share even a little of that love with her.

She can care so much about outsiders, but why is she unwilling to love her master a little more?

In a fit of rage, he grabbed Su Yang's wrist with one hand.

Then, with a tug, he pulled her back into his arms amidst Su Yang's gasp.

Xia Lian's eyes even showed a hint of determination.

Then, to the astonishment of Su Yang and Su Chen, he recklessly kissed Su Yang's lips.

"Waaah~"

Suddenly attacked, Su Yang reacted instantly and tried to push the person in front of him away.

But Xia Lian remained completely unmoved, as if she were irresistible.

She kissed him so forcefully, almost angrily, that Su Yang could even feel his lips being bitten painfully.

Xia Lian's skills were really bad; even the Great Emperor was no better. It wasn't a good experience at all.

He wanted to guide her, but Su Yang also knew he couldn't do that.

Looking at Xia Lian's delicate, flushed face in front of him, even though it was a forceful kiss and she was the one in control, why did she seem more shy than him?

A sense of helplessness flashed through my mind; my first kiss in this life had been given away under such circumstances.

Actually, Su Yang was somewhat caught off guard by Xia Lian's choice to use force at this time.

Fortunately, the impact wasn't too significant.

At least, compared to being interrogated by Su Chen and Jian Yan about who he loved, it was much better.

To be honest, Su Chen and Jian Yan's sudden appearance caught him completely off guard.

Under such circumstances, it is clearly inadvisable for him to become close to either of them.

The best approach is to deny them any opportunity to act and to maintain complete control.

Even he was trembling with fear as he walked on the edge of the precipice.

In fact, without Xia Lian's interference, he might have made a fatal mistake.

Fortunately, everything was resolved.

He... ultimately had the last laugh, ultimately won.

While enduring his master's unreasonable demands, Su Yang pushed her away.

If it were at a different time, he might have cooperated with her and let her savor it a little longer, as a reward for her.

But that won't work right now, because there's still a loose end to be made.

Besides, there's plenty of time in the future; after the first time, there will be many more opportunities.

It used almost its strongest force, and the Star Palace even erupted with divine light.

Such power was enough to kill a saint, but Su Yang only used it to push Xia Lian away.
