"It doesn't matter."

Gu Jian spoke, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The main reason was that Ji Baihe was an incredibly beautiful enchantress, and her actions just now almost disrupted his Daoist resolve.

"Alright, now relax. I will take you to the place for cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

Ji Baihe nodded gently. Trusting her master, she knew he wouldn't harm her, and immediately relaxed.

With a thought, Gu Jian communicated with the Time God Contract Jade, allowing Ji Baihe to enter the space within the Time God Contract Jade.

After spending 100,000 longevity points and setting a cultivation time of 1,000 years, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hime-yuri is so tempting.

If only it had been a second later...

Gu Jian estimated that he would change his mind and then do some things that any normal man would do to Ji Baihe.

They also checked Ji Baihe's cultivation progress in the Light God Contract Jade space.

Gu Jian also sat down cross-legged.

He calmed himself down and began to comprehend the ultimate sword dao laws of the Immortal Sword Palace.

The path of sword cultivation involves releasing sword energy, practicing sword aura, refining sword momentum, tempering sword intent, condensing sword domain, and nurturing sword heart.

Every time Gu Jian comprehends the laws of swordsmanship, he can feel his swordsmanship level improving significantly.

Previously, Gu Jian had already cultivated his sword intent to the fifth level of perfection.

Now, Gu Jian has also condensed a sword domain.

It is the Chaos Sword Domain.

But it's not powerful enough.

The Sword Domain is also divided into five levels, and Gu Jian plans to upgrade it to the fifth level of perfection.

Currently, his cultivation level is at the fourth level of the Supreme Realm.

If the Sword Domain is upgraded to the fifth level of perfection, the strength will increase by leaps and bounds to another level.

Then you can also condense your sword heart!

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Sword Immortal Palace.

Gu Jian's swordsmanship skills improved rapidly.

As the day is about to end.

Gu Jian opened his eyes.

He was going to take a look at Ji Baihe's cultivation results.

At that moment, a knocking sound echoed outside the Sword Immortal Palace.

In addition, there was the sound of peonies.

"You lecherous strategist, come out here!"

Gu Jian was very surprised, but he still got up and stepped out of the Immortal Sword Palace.

The peony wore a red floral dress, her face was enchanting and perfect, her figure slender and graceful.

At that moment, she was staring at him with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Seeing that Mudan seemed quite angry, Gu Jian was puzzled and asked, "Commander Mudan, what's wrong?"

Peony snorted, "You're asking me what's wrong? I should be asking you what's wrong."

Gu Jian was even more astonished.

Peony then asked, "Tell me, where do I fall short compared to Lily?"

Gu Jian was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Commander Peony, why do you say that? You and Lily each have your own merits. You are in no way inferior to her."

Hua Mudan was surprised, "Really?!"

"Yes, really!" Gu Jian nodded.

Hua Mudan was somewhat pleased, but then became even angrier, saying, "If it's true, why did you look for her but not me?"

Gu Jian was immediately surprised. He looked at Hua Mudan, then seemed to realize something and laughed, "Commander Mudan, are you overthinking this? I'm just helping Baihe improve her cultivation."

Improve your cultivation level?!

Hua Mudan froze for a moment, then looked pained and said, "Dual cultivation?"

Gu Jian was immediately dumbfounded. Why did they always think it was dual cultivation?

He's a very respectable person.

"Of course not, just like how we helped Mo Yue and the others."

Gu Jian gave a brief explanation.

Peony suddenly realized that she had misunderstood.

She blushed slightly, but was still annoyed, and said, "Even if it's just about improving cultivation, why did you help Baihe instead of me? I've been cheated..."

The peony seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Gu Jian asked with a smile, "What did I lose on you...?"

Peony bit her red lips and said, "Are you still going to pretend now?"

"What are you pretending for?"

Gu Jian asked with a smile.

Hua Mudan was furious; this guy was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You know perfectly well that I like you!"

When she finished speaking, Hua Mudan seemed to have used up all her strength.

She finally said it so bluntly.

But then, the peony felt very wronged.

She clearly liked him so much.

But he never considered her feelings.

Gu Jian was immediately stunned.

Peony would actually say such a thing.

Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have indeed suffered a great injustice.

After a moment, Gu Jian smiled and said, "Commander Peony, I do know that you like me."

"However, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you improve your cultivation, it's just that I can't."

Peony snorted, "Liar! You can help Ji Baihe improve her cultivation, so why can't you help me?"

Gu Jian smiled and said, "Because there are limitations to the ways to improve one's cultivation. Baihe is my servant, and I have a soul contract with her, so she can improve. But you don't."

"Unless you also sign a master-servant contract with me, I really can't help you."

"real?"

Hua Mudan was skeptical.

"real."

Gu Jian nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Gu Jian didn't seem to be lying, Hua Mudan realized that she had not only misunderstood, but had misunderstood quite a lot.

The peony felt utterly ashamed.

Gu Jian looked at Hua Mudan's stunningly beautiful face and said, "Commander Mudan, something seems off about you."

Peony rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said resentfully, "It's all because of you."

Gu Jian asked, "What's our relationship?"

Seeing that no one was around, Hua Mudan became much bolder. Looking at Gu Jian with some grievance, she said, "If you had just responded to me in any way, I wouldn't be in this situation."
