"Speak, tell the truth!"

"Sister, I really don't know..."

"Hurry up and tell me!"

After being bullied by Miss Shi, Luo Yan could only think of a way to reveal some less critical information in an ambiguous way:

"I heard that Taiqing focused on refining Qi, Shangqing practiced sword techniques, and Yuqing entered the Tao through a side door."

"Shushan Shangqing Sect is mainly engaged in sword cultivation, so they mostly look at the physique of their disciples. I heard that there seems to be a secret method for marrow cleansing."

He spoke vaguely, but Miss Shi's eyes lit up.

Oh, right, Shushan!

As the eldest daughter of Tiangongfang, she naturally knew everything about Shushan.

Shushan, as the frontline position against the demon clan in ancient times, once possessed the largest material reserves of the human race. In the Huoyuan Cave under Leidongping, countless rare treasures were sealed.

Considering that the marrow cleansing stage usually only lasts for ten years, most cultivators will choose to practice on their own. So there is a high probability that there are still many magic weapons or elixirs that can speed up the marrow cleansing!

Shi Liuli immediately turned around and left, planning to go to Elder Shi Ding to act like a spoiled child and ask him to use his connections to ask Shushan for an exchange.

Seeing that Miss Shi was finally tricked, Luo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that when Shi Liuli ran to the door, she suddenly turned around for some unknown reason and saw Luo Yan's relieved expression.

She couldn't help but reveal a vigilant expression like a little fox.

"Junior brother."

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

"You go with me." Shi Liuli came over and held his hand without saying anything.

This was the first time Luo Yan held Shi Liuli's hand... No, he had done it quite often, but every time it felt like the first time.

Shi Liuli's small hands were soft and smooth, and had a wonderful warmth, which made him feel like treating them like a treasure.

In a hazy state, I recalled my school days before the time travel, when I studied hard every day in an environment of exam-oriented education and poured all my youthful hormones into a sea of ​​questions.

I wish I could have a young and beautiful girl like this, holding my hand and running across the school playground under the envious gaze of other students.

Hmm? Watch?

Luo Yan suddenly came to his senses and saw his fellow disciples passing by, staring at the two of them in astonishment.

"Wait, Senior Sister!" He hurriedly tried to break free, "It's too embarrassing to hold hands like this in public!"

He originally wanted to say "it's too damaging to your reputation", but if he thought about it, he would know that Miss Shi, who is fearless, probably doesn't care about her reputation at all.

"Ha! You really want to escape!" Shi Liuli immediately turned around and glared at him, "No way!"

Luo Yan: ...

It’s over. If this goes on, the news that I, Luo Yan, am being kept by rich woman Shi will probably spread throughout the entire Yuqing Temple.

Rushing to Elder Shi Ding's residence, Shi Liuli was about to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Shi Ding:

"Liuli, please be careful of the impact outside!"

He looked at the two people holding hands and sighed.

"It doesn't matter." Shi Liuli said nonchalantly, "It's better for them to spread rumors. At least this way the headmaster won't think of bringing me and his son together."

Luo Yan laughed in his heart, it turned out that this young lady was using me as a shield.

"Alas." Elder Shi Ding continued to sigh, but he didn't say anything. After all, Luo Yan was his most recognized disciple. "Why did you rush over here with your junior brother? What evil ideas do you have?"

"Father!" Shi Liuli smiled sweetly and hugged his old father's arm. "I heard from my junior brother that Shushan has a magic weapon and elixir that can speed up the marrow cleansing, right?"

"What do you want that thing for?" Elder Shi Ding looked confused.

Marrow cleansing... doesn't it only take ten years of practice? Do you still need external aids to speed it up?

"Father~" Shi Liuli began to act like a spoiled child, "Look, now in Tiangong Workshop, only my daughter and my junior brother are at the Marrow Cleansing Stage."

"If my junior brother cultivates faster and surpasses me, how can I be a good senior sister? Father, please be considerate of me!"

Elder Shi Ding frowned and looked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan could only smile awkwardly, thinking that Miss Shi’s concerns were indeed correct - I had actually surpassed her a long time ago.

"Okay, okay." Even a hypocritical person like Luo Yan couldn't resist Shi Liuli's full set of coquettish attacks. Elder Shi Ding, the old father, couldn't stand it and soon surrendered helplessly, "Father will ask for you."

"Thank you, father!" Shi Liuli was delighted and hurriedly poured tea and water for his father, massaging his shoulders and back.

Looking at the harmonious appearance of the father and daughter, Luo Yan quietly winked at Elder Shi Ding, then turned around and left calmly.

If he were to be honest, he did have a certain liking for Shi Liuli.

But it's just a good impression.

Shi Liuli's innocence is based on the care and love of everyone in Tiangong Workshop, which also makes Miss Shi develop a certain "dependent mentality".

Whenever I encounter a problem, I either think of asking for help from my junior fellow apprentice, or I think of asking for help from my father, or asking for help from my senior brothers and sisters...

On the positive side, this helps to quickly establish a "bond" with everyone. The core of Tiangongfang's strong family atmosphere comes from everyone's favorite jewel, Shi Liuli.

However, for Luo Yan, such a bond is too much.

He was willing to form ties within the sect, on the premise that such ties would help him further infiltrate the sect and lay a sufficient foundation for exploring and obtaining the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone.

But the bond is too deep, and when the time comes to "slash the root of love with a sword", it will definitely be bloody.

As an elegant and multifaceted spy, Luo Yan envisioned himself to play with everyone in the palm of his hand, and then leave after achieving his goal, leaving only a mysterious and beautiful legend... instead of breaking Miss Shi's heart into several pieces after his true identity was exposed, causing her to shed tears and turn her hair white overnight.

Xu Yinglian is strong-willed by nature, An Zhisu is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and only Shi Liuli is too soft-hearted.

If Shi Liuli finds out that she has been betrayed, she will probably be the one who will be hurt the most. Therefore, the intimacy with Miss Shi also needs to be kept at a relatively measured level.

"Junior Brother Luo!" Someone suddenly called him from behind.

Luo Yan turned around and saw Tian Zhang waving at him from a distance.

"What's wrong, Brother Tian?"

"It's like this, my father wants to see you." Tian Zhang said with a smile.

Luo Yan immediately showed a vigilant expression.

"Don't worry." Tian Zhang patted his shoulder. "I'm not trying to criticize you, but to see what kind of outstanding talent Xiao Ding Zhenren is who can make Junior Sister Shi fall in love with him."

Luo Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true:

The reason why Master Xuandu wanted to bring together his son and Shi Liuli was to further win over Tiangong Workshop.

Now that Luo Yan is favored by Shi Liuli and valued by Elder Shi Ding, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse if he were to vent his anger on Luo Yan just because his son has no chance?

It would be better to invite people over openly to show respect and encouragement, so as to demonstrate the master's magnanimity and generosity!
