"Master, we shall take our leave now." Xu Wen bowed to Sword Master Mu Yun and then left with his father.

Looking at the Sword Master Mu Yun before her, Wan Ge slowly said, "I thought that Master wouldn't be appearing before me anytime soon."

"Ge'er, forget him. You two are ultimately on different paths."

Wan Ge looked at her master and smiled: "Forgot? How can you forget someone you like so easily? Master, I love him very much. I would not hesitate to become a demonic cultivator myself."

"Do you really love him that much?"

"Yes." Wan Ge met her master's eyes directly without flinching.

Sword Master Mu Yun clenched his fists tightly, his killing intent vanishing in an instant.

However, Wan Ge clearly sensed it, but the other party's killing intent wasn't directed at her; it could only be directed at Qi Zhao. Did he want to kill Qi Zhao? Why?

Even if it was just a fleeting thought, Wan Ge still didn't understand. Although his master didn't care about him at first, he later discovered that his spiritual root was special and that he was exceptionally talented, and he put a lot of effort into helping him.

Given how much the master cherishes each disciple, why would he want to kill Qi Zhao? Was it simply because he became a demonic cultivator?

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Wan Ge's mind, though she also found it somewhat unbelievable: "Master seems to treat me very specially?"

In fact, she had sensed since she was a child that her master treated her differently from his other fellow disciples, but she had never thought much about it before, after all, she was the only girl among her master's disciples.

Although there are senior and junior sisters on other peaks, she is the only girl among her master's disciples, so it is normal for her to feel that her master treats her differently.

But now, upon closer reflection, it seems that Master's favoritism towards her was a bit excessive. Even when Qi Zhao was judged to have a useless spiritual root, she wanted him to accompany her, so he accepted him as a disciple.

Of course, there are many other things that are special to her, such as never being stingy with rare and precious materials.

The reason Qi Zhao was able to harmonize his spiritual roots was not only because of the rare and precious materials they found themselves, but also because of the many gifts given to him by the Sword Venerable Mu Yun.

Looking at Wan Ge in front of him, Sword Master Mu Yun's eyes suddenly reddened. He murmured to himself, "In the end, one wrong step leads to another. Perhaps I shouldn't have let him stay by your side in the first place."

At that time, Wan Ge had a good relationship with her other fellow disciples, but she only regarded them as family and had no other feelings for them.

Therefore, he assumed that he would treat Qi Zhao the same way, which is why he took him as his disciple and kept him by Wan Ge's side.

He knew that Ge'er was kind-hearted and, having sensed that the other person's potential as a furnace vessel, would certainly not be willing to let the other person become a furnace vessel for cultivators.

so…

In the end, he was wrong. He arrogantly believed that she would never fall for another man.

Wan Ge had only guessed at first, but now that the other party had confirmed it, her face turned pale with shock, as if she couldn't believe it at all: "I am your disciple, how could you have such thoughts about me?"

In the cultivation world, it is actually permissible for masters and disciples to become Daoist couples, but this situation is extremely rare.

Because most people who cultivate are trained from a young age, meaning they follow their master from a very young age.

Most people feel the same way about their master as they would about their father or mother, so apart from a few exceptions, there is almost no romantic relationship between master and disciple.

Wan Ge naturally held the same attitude towards her master, believing that a teacher for a day is a father for life.

“But you have never been my disciple. I have been looking for you for a long time before I finally found your reincarnation. I was thinking of waiting until your cultivation improved before telling you the truth. But I never expected that you would fall in love with someone else.”

"What are you talking about? What reincarnation?" Wan Ge asked, looking completely bewildered.

Looking into her eyes, Sword Master Mu Yun replied, "You were my lover and my wife in your past life. It was my fault for not being able to grant you immortality. I have been searching for your reincarnation until the day the sect leader brought you to me. The moment I saw you, I knew it was you."

“You…” Wan Ge was at a loss for words for a moment. Finally, she shook her head and said, “I have no memory of my past life. I have no feelings for you other than that of a master and disciple. To me, you are just a family member, not a lover.”

"No! Don't say anymore." Sword Master Mu Yun's face instantly contorted with pain, and then he left without another word.
