Chapter 116 116 She seemed to really like him a little.

How should I respond to this?

Su Xiaoyuan suddenly met the man's eyes. She didn't know if it was because he lived in seclusion, but he looked at people with extraordinary concentration, staring straight at you, as if he wanted to reveal all his thoughts.

She couldn't help but think of Fu Shiyu, but compared to the naked eyes of a wild animal in the realm of spirit, Ling Yuexianzun had a bit more of a powerful and oppressive feeling.

For a moment she had the illusion that he was flirting with her, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

The high-ranking super boss says to the ordinary heroine, "Woman, you have caught my attention," after only a few encounters, and then falls madly in love with her. This is a plot that only exists in novels.

It is better to believe that she is Qin Shi Huang than to believe this.

It’s impossible that the most powerful person in the Three Realms is so worthless.

Maybe the boss was just asking casually because he rarely interacts with people and doesn't have a good grasp of social boundaries. There's no need to be overly sensitive and overthink things.

She answered without any ambiguity: "Of course, it's normal to worry about my senior brother."

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable persisted and asked, "If it were any other senior brother, would you also be worried?"

Su Xiaoyuan's heart began to beat faster again. This was a very strange question. She couldn't blame her for thinking too much.

She considered it for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I'm not very familiar with the other brothers in the sect..."

Immortal Master Ling Yue seemed somewhat satisfied this time. His long eyelashes trembled, and ripples seemed to spread in his dark eyes. Although the corners of his mouth were still flat, his eyes seemed to be smiling.

Su Xiaoyuan's heart was hit hard, and she felt dizzy and dazed. She felt that the brightness of the world around her suddenly increased, and a soft light filter was added. The man in front of her was standing in the garden, but he was more dazzling than any exotic flowers and plants around him, and every strand of his hair seemed to be glowing.

The man was beautiful but unaware of it, and looked at her worriedly: "What's wrong, Junior Sister? Is it because the sun is too strong here that you feel dizzy?"

Su Xiaoyuan shook her head: "No, no, it's okay, Senior Brother, let's practice sword fighting. I'm sorry that my foundation is so poor and I always bother you..."

"There's no rush to practice swordplay," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said. "You've been in class all day. Are you hungry? I asked Puppet to prepare some refreshments. Junior Sister, go inside and have some first."

Su Xiaoyuan didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly said, "I'm not hungry. I ate too much at lunch, and I'm still a little full. Let's practice sword fighting so as not to bother you for too long."

Immortal Master Ling Yue confirmed it and did not force her. He brought her to the flower tree where she practiced sword last time, and condensed the same dark and dull sword as last time. He demonstrated the lesson she missed at the original speed, and then did it twice at 0.5 times the speed, explaining the key points while demonstrating.

I don't know why, but I always feel that watching him demonstrate privately is different from when he teaches in class. It's the same moves and the same calm expression, but every gesture is particularly alluring.

Su Xiaoyuan tried her best to focus on her swordsmanship, but after a few seconds her mind began to wander. Her eyes could not help but linger on his thin and flexible waist, the lines of his long legs that appeared and disappeared under his robe, his bony wrists, his slender fingers and the blue veins on the back of his hands, and his slightly moving Adam's apple.

"Did you see it clearly?" The man put away his sword, walked forward, held the sword body, and handed the hilt to her.

After demonstrating it three times, he still had a steady breath, was cool and sweat-free, and his skin was so white and almost transparent in the sunlight, making his eyebrows and eyes more distinct. He was truly like a sculpture of ice and snow.

Su Xiaoyuan went to take the sword in a daze. The hilt of the sword he had held was dry and slightly warm, but Su Xiaoyuan felt as if she was scalded by the residual body temperature, and her face became even hotter.

"Your face is a little red, but is it because of too much sun?" Ling Yuexianzun said as he suddenly touched her forehead with the back of his left hand.

Su Xiaoyuan was struck by lightning and quickly took two steps back: "It's okay... I'm fine..."

This action is indeed ambiguous, but he did it as if it was natural and right, as if he was just a senior brother who cared about the health of his junior sister.

Su Xiaoyuan's mind was in a mess. She didn't dare to think too much but couldn't help thinking too much.

"Junior sister, give it a try."

Su Xiaoyuan came back to her senses, looked down at the black sword in her hand, and suddenly remembered that she had brought the sword with her and placed it on the stone platform beside her.

"I brought my own sword..." she said quickly.

"If you don't mind, you can use this sword of mine," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "This sword has spirit and can guide your swordsmanship."

"Okay." Su Xiaoyuan nodded, gathered her energy into her dantian, and began to practice swordplay.

In fact, she was only focused on appreciating the top beauty and learned almost nothing. Fortunately, she had studied the sword manual carefully for several days and remembered all the moves, so she was not at a loss.

After practicing once, she looked at Ling Yuexianzun guiltily, only to see the man frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

She suddenly felt guilty. The boss had taken time out to teach her sword skills, but she was always distracted.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, my understanding is too poor..."

"I don't blame you. I just don't know the right method," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable was very tolerant. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your problem is not your sword technique, but your weak body and weak Qi. Naturally, your Qi is not flowing smoothly, and your results are half as good as your efforts."

Su Xiaoyuan:?

No, she was just absent for a while, it had nothing to do with qi deficiency or anything like that.

But what the boss believes is of course right, and whether it is wrong or not, it is also right.

"Junior sister, have you been to Lingquan these days?" Ling Yue Immortal Venerable asked again.

Su Xiaoyuan felt like a high school student who was caught not doing homework. Her scalp tingled. Ever since the spiritual spring accident, she hadn't dared to go there to soak in it, especially after the puppet man left. She was afraid of fainting again when she was alone, and she didn't want to trouble Kaishan, so she hadn't soaked in it once, let alone in the past few days.

"sorry……"

"You were unwell a few days ago, I can't blame you," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "If Junior Sister is free tonight, you can ask your puppet to accompany you. While you soak, he can help you regulate your Qi and meridians."

Su Xiaoyuan blurted out: "The puppet man is not here recently..."

"Junior sister, you can practice with me. I happen to have nothing to do tonight," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable looked at her and said, "If you don't mind."

Su Xiaoyuan still remembered the last time she and he bathed in the spiritual spring, so how could she not mind? However, she didn't dare to tell the truth and just evaded the question: "I'm really embarrassed to bother you, Senior Brother, to teach me how to practice sword. I'll ask a friend for help."

"Fellow Daoist Xie is practicing external skills, so I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "I was going to Lingquan to meditate anyway, so this is just a side job, no need to bother."

What else could Su Xiaoyuan say? She could only bite the bullet and thank him.

That was the decision, and Immortal Master Ling Yue corrected her posture one move at a time, just like last time.

Perhaps because he was more familiar with it, he did not break off any branches this time, but just started working directly, and only pointed at any inconvenient places.

The virtual fingers were more torturous than direct contact. Su Xiaoyuan felt as if she was being roasted in a frying pan, and she was covered in sweat after practicing all the sword moves.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable retracted his sword and handed her a handkerchief: "Junior sister, you have been sweating a lot, do you want to take a shower first?"

Su Xiaoyuan quickly said, "No, no, I'll go back and wash up. It's getting late, so it's time to go back and eat."

"I've asked the puppet to prepare dinner," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "After dinner, we'll go straight to Lingquan, saving Junior Sister the trouble of running back and forth."

After a pause, he said, "This side hall is newly built. I don't usually stay here, and no one has used the bathhouse. Junior sister, don't mind."

Su Xiaoyuan: "I... I didn't bring a towel or a change of clothes. It's not very convenient..."

"Junior sister, don't worry," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "Everything is here."

After saying this, he called the puppet and said, "Go prepare the bath and clothes."

The faceless puppet prepared hot water in a short while and brought clothes.

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said: "Junior sister, take your time to bathe. I will go to meditate. See you at dinner."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Xiaoyuan followed the puppet into the bathhouse, holding clothes and towels. There was even a fragrant toilet here, which surprised her.

She unfolded the clean clothes that the puppet had brought and took a look. It turned out to be a full set of Tai Yan disciple uniform, and it was women's clothing.

She compared it in the full-length mirror on the wall and found that it was one size larger than her, with the sleeves and hem being longer.

Why does Immortal Ling Yue have clothes for female disciples?

It couldn't be prepared for her. She wouldn't sweat after practicing sword skills with normal intensity, so she wouldn't take a shower here. Besides, the size is one size larger.

So who is this for?

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Immortal Master Ling Yue has a girlfriend?

Or maybe she wasn't the only disciple who came here and received his personal instruction?

Su Xiaoyuan felt mixed emotions for a moment, and a sour feeling surged in her heart.

She suddenly came to her senses and found that she was actually jealous. It turned out that she had always secretly thought that Immortal Ling Yue treated her in a special way.

Those vague ambiguities, the concern between the lines in the messages exceeded that of ordinary fellow disciples, in fact, she had always felt it subconsciously.

She just didn't expect that these were not exclusive to her.

But it’s clearly in the book... Oh, the Immortal Ling Yue in the book is not so much the real him as it is the heroine Lin Wan’s imagination through an 800-meter filter.

Lin Wan didn't know what kind of person the real Ling Yue Immortal Venerable was, and she was even less clear.

They had only known each other for a few days, but Immortal Master Ling Yue was already so caring towards her, his cheap junior sister. It was natural that some of his fellow disciples who had been with him for many years were closer to him.

Su Xiaoyuan soaked herself in the fragrant bath water sprinkled with flower petals. Although she knew that she had no position, her heart was bubbling with sourness.

How would an inexperienced straight man know to sprinkle flower petals and add spices to the bath water?

How many girls has this experience accumulated?

Could he be Aquaman? Aquaman wouldn't be bad, she thought sourly. Aquaman wouldn't refuse anyone, so he should be easier to sleep with.

But then she remembered an important thing. If Ling Yue Xianzun was the Sea King, was his Yuan Yang okay?

Could this system be a scam?

Su Xiaoyuan's mind was full of messy thoughts. She washed herself hastily, climbed out, dried herself, changed into the disciple uniform that was one size larger, walked out in wooden clogs and held up the hem of her skirt, and walked back to the side hall along the corridor.

It was already getting dark, and the hall, illuminated by the spirit stone lamps, looked like a crystal palace. Ling Yuexianzun was already waiting inside. Upon seeing her, his gaze shifted from her sleeves to the hem of her skirt, and he looked apologetic. "Is the dress too big? My visual estimation was indeed inaccurate. I'll have the puppeteer go get a new one."

These words blew into Su Xiaoyuan's heart like a breeze, and her heart swelled like a sail.

So this dress was specially prepared for her, and the other people she imagined don't exist?

She shook her head quickly: "No, no, it's just a little bit bigger, it won't be a problem."

Fu Tingyun looked at the girl's face which suddenly lit up. She was trying her best to hide her thoughts, but she didn't know that her thoughts were all written on her face. When she saw him just now, her face was full of loss, but after hearing his explanation, her face immediately brightened up, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

How could he not know her dress size? He had spent countless nights caressing and tracing the body beneath her clothes, measuring it with his hands and lips and tongue. No one knew every inch of her better than him.

He did it on purpose, and she was really jealous of him.

Fu Tingyun's throat was dry and he almost couldn't restrain himself from doing something to her. He looked away and ordered the puppet to serve the meal.

Su Xiaoyuan felt like a huge weight had fallen from her heart. She was so happy that her appetite was better than usual. However, she thought that she shouldn't eat too much while soaking in the spiritual spring water, so she put down her chopsticks in time.

Immortal Master Ling Yue stayed with her for the most part and didn't eat much. After she finished eating, he asked the puppet to bring her some spiritual tea.

The puppet served Su Xiaoyuan flower and fruit tea, but brought Ling Yuexianzun a black medicinal juice that smelled bitter.

"Brother, are you going to drink medicine again?" Su Xiaoyuan held the teacup and looked at him sympathetically as he raised the bowl to his lips.

The person who drank the medicine just frowned slightly, but she couldn't help but frown.

Even when Immortal Master Ling Yue drank bitter medicine, he was as graceful as drinking nectar. His slender neck had a beautiful curve and the posture of his wrists was pleasing to the eye.

After he put down the medicine bowl and rinsed his mouth with the tea brought by the puppet, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask, "Is the medicine very bitter?"

"It's okay," Ling Yuexianzun said, "I'm used to it. It's just that the medicinal taste in my mouth lingers for a long time, which is not very comfortable."

Su Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "I brought some candy. Would you like to have a couple? It might feel better if you hold it in your mouth."

She thought she would be politely rejected, but unexpectedly, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "Okay."

Su Xiaoyuan took out a half-full candy jar from her Qiankun bag and handed it to him: "Sorry, I've already eaten this jar..."

Immortal Ling Yue took it, opened the lid, picked up one and put it in his mouth, then naturally put the rest of the candy into his Qiankun bag.

"It's very refreshing and sweet. Thanks to Junior Sister, I won't be afraid of medicine anymore."

Su Xiaoyuan opened her eyes wide. It turns out that the boss is also afraid of drinking Chinese medicine?

I somehow find it kind of cute.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling as if a layer of fine fuzz had grown in her heart.

Since it was not healthy to soak in a hot spring right after a meal, the two waited for half an hour before setting off.

They went to the same hot spring pool reserved for the big boss that Su Xiaoyuan accidentally entered last time.

Immortal Master Ling Yue seemed to have no sense of taboo at all. He got off the crane cart, placed the wicker box filled with clean towels and clothes on a large flat rock by the pool, and began to untie his belt in front of Su Xiaoyuan.

There is nothing provocative in the actions or eyes, but the unconscious rubbing is even more seductive.

Su Xiaoyuan quickly turned her eyes away without looking at him.

"Junior sister, please take off your clothes so that it will be easier to massage the acupoints and circulate the Qi."

Su Xiaoyuan was startled, swallowed her saliva, and stammered, "Take it off...take it off?"

Ling Yue Immortal Venerable looked at her puzzledly for a moment, seemingly not understanding what she was shocked about, and then suddenly realized: "Junior Sister, are you sorry?"

He walked into the pool, untied his hairband from behind his head, and covered his eyes: "This way I can't see."

Su Xiaoyuan was disheveled in the wind for a while.

The boss is still waiting for her in the water, this is not a solution.

This is cultivation, it is cultivation.

She prepared herself mentally and gritted her teeth before untying her belt.

After getting into the pool, the warm spiritual spring water quickly covered her waist. She sat down and let the spring water cover her shoulders, and the feeling of shame was relieved a little.

They each occupied one end of the spirit pool and soaked peacefully for about half an hour. Immortal Venerable Ling Yue suddenly spoke: "Junior sister, can you feel the spiritual energy seeping into your meridians?"

"I feel it, senior brother." Su Xiaoyuan said.

"good."

About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Yue Xianzun asked again, "Do you feel your Dantian swelling?"

Su Xiaoyuan touched her belly and said, "I feel it."

"Okay," the man said, "If you feel like you're about to burst, tell me immediately."

Su Xiaoyuan: “…” I always feel that something is wrong with this conversation.

However, after a few minutes, she really felt that her dantian was about to explode, and it was a bit difficult to speak: "Master, Senior Brother... It's almost done..."

"Come here." The man said as he walked towards the center of the water with his long legs.

Su Xiaoyuan also waded through the water with difficulty to meet him.

When the two were close, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable stretched out his hand, palm facing up: "Give me your left hand."

Su Xiaoyuan followed his instructions and placed her left hand in his. The man's slender and powerful fingers slid across her palm and felt for the pulse point. "I will inject a strand of true energy into your meridians as a guide. Try to mobilize all the spiritual power in your meridians and follow it."

As soon as she finished speaking, it seemed as if a burning electric current flowed into her wrist and moved up her arm.

Su Xiaoyuan hurriedly followed the method he taught her, but unfortunately the energy moved too fast, and she was not skilled enough in mobilizing her spiritual power. Soon she didn't know where the energy went and almost got a stitch in the side.

Immortal Lingyue sensed her flustered movements and said, "Don't worry about your Qi for now. Just follow my fingers."

As he spoke, he placed his fingers on her pulse point and moved slowly upwards along the meridians on the inside of her wrist. This time, Su Xiaoyuan finally caught up. The spiritual energy in the meridians was like iron filings, and his fingers were like magnets. Wherever his fingers moved, the spiritual energy followed.

Every time he found a large acupoint, he would press it with a little more force. At first, it was fine if he moved his fingers along the arm, but after passing the shoulder, his fingers began to move along the Ren Mai meridian, and Su Xiaoyuan didn't know what to do.

Ling Yuexianzun seemed completely oblivious to her embarrassment, and mercilessly pressed his fingers against her collarbone: "Tiantu."

Then he slowly slid down the midline of her body, squeezed in the middle, and rubbed it in circles: "Tan Zhong, Junior Sister, please don't lose your concentration, be careful not to disrupt your Qi."

Su Xiaoyuan didn't care about the qi at all. Just tensing her body and holding back from making any sound took up all her concentration.

But the fatal long finger was still moving downwards: "Shenque... Qihai... Guanyuan..."

Su Xiaoyuan held her breath as the blindfolded man uttered two words from his moist lips: "Huiyin."

At the same time, he pressed his fingers against the acupoints and rubbed them. Su Xiaoyuan could no longer bear it. The spiritual energy that had been flowing in one direction suddenly turned into countless headless snakes, rushing left and right in her meridians, sometimes flowing forward, sometimes flowing backward. Her eyes went dark, she leaned back, and fell into the water with a splash.

Fortunately, Immortal Master Ling Yue reacted quickly and immediately pulled her out, preventing her from choking on the water.

However, the spiritual energy running rampant in the meridians was still rushing around. Su Xiaoyuan felt breathless and her heart was beating wildly, as if it would break through her chest at the next moment.

Ling Yuexianzun held her pulse point and probed her meridians, frowning: "Bear with me, I will help you draw out your spiritual power."

Su Xiaoyuan was wondering how to drain her spiritual power when the man suddenly held her waist and lifted her up sideways, placing her on a large rock in the water. Then he lifted her chin, leaned over and pressed his moist and slightly cool lips against hers.

It seemed as if hundreds of thunders exploded simultaneously in Su Xiaoyuan's ears. With a loud "boom", the sounds of wind, insects, and flowing water in the forest... all disappeared.

It wasn't a real kiss, he just pressed his lips against hers, slowly sucking out the chaotic spiritual energy from her body.

But Su Xiaoyuan felt like the honest scholar in Liao Zhai whose energy was sucked away by a fox spirit. Her whole body felt weak and her soul was almost taken away by him.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable raised his head and casually wiped the corner of her mouth with his fingertips: "Are you feeling better?"

Su Xiaoyuan nodded blankly, then realized that he was blindfolded and couldn't see, and uttered with difficulty: "Much better, thank...thank you, senior brother..."

"That's good," Ling Yue Immortal Venerable raised his hand, and the clothes he had just taken off on the shore flew into his hands.

He covered Su Xiaoyuan with his clothes: "Be careful not to catch a cold."

It was a bit cold, so Su Xiaoyuan pulled her clothes up and sniffed secretly. The clean and pleasant smell wrapped her up like a quilt.

"Rest for a while, then I'll take you back. I'm sorry for being so hasty today. I'll be more careful next time."

Su Xiaoyuan was stunned: "Next time?"

Ling Yuexianzun said in a businesslike manner: "Your physical discomfort a few days ago was related to your meridians. You still need to adjust your body several times. Come back in three days." As the man spoke, he walked along the stone steps beside the pool to the shore, used his spiritual power to evaporate the water on his body, and began to put on his clothes.

He didn't seem affected at all, as if he was just giving her artificial respiration.

It is indeed similar to artificial respiration, Su Xiaoyuan suddenly realized.

But her heart felt like a hurricane had passed through, leaving it in a mess.

That kiss that wasn't really a kiss at least made one thing clear.

She seemed to actually like him a little.
