He whispered in her ear, his warm breath on her earlobe, making her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
"If the news of the dignified Purple Cloud Palace Master becoming someone else's plaything were to get out..."
Du Ning trembled all over, and the fire of hope that had just ignited in his eyes was extinguished.
She nodded mechanically, feeling the grip on her jaw finally loosen.
She staggered back two steps, straightening her messy collar with trembling fingers.
There was a tear at the collar, revealing the bruise on the collarbone that had not yet healed.
She hurriedly pulled up her collar and raised her hand to straighten the crooked Nine Phoenix Pearl Hairpin.
The ten steps to the door seemed like a lifetime.
Du Ning took a deep breath and opened the door only a gap of three fingers wide.
The Great Elder's brows were furrowed at this moment, and he tapped the ground nervously with the jade staff in his hand.
"Palace Master——"
The Great Elder stopped talking abruptly. Under the moonlight, he saw his Palace Master's pale face, red eyes, and a slightly crooked phoenix hairpin.
It looks like we have just experienced a great battle.
"Are you all right?"
Du Ning felt an invisible force strangling her throat. The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, forming a standard and stereotyped smile, and even the corners of her eyes curved into a perfect arc.
"I'm fine."
She heard her own voice was so sweet that it was completely out of her control.
"I was just discussing the Dao with Fellow Daoist Li."
As soon as he said this, Du Ning covered his mouth in horror.
What she just said was not what she meant at all, but at this moment her body was no longer under her control.
The Great Elder's eyes flashed, and she noticed that the Palace Master's fingers covering her mouth were shaking violently.
But when she heard Du Ning say that she and Li Lingge were discussing Taoism, she was stunned for a moment.
She looked into the house through the crack in the door, as if she wanted to peek into what had just happened inside.
Du Ning's nails dug deep into the soft flesh of his cheeks, but he couldn't stop the following words from flowing out from between his fingers.
"Grand Elder, why did you come here so late at night? What's the matter?"
The Great Elder pondered for a moment, and finally stated the purpose of this trip.
"I came here for Ling Xuan. Although she made a big mistake, she is still the Saint that my Ziyun Palace has trained for many years..."
Before he could finish his words, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around Du Ning's waist from behind.
Li Lingge pressed his chest against Du Ning's and placed his chin on her shoulder affectionately. His black hair fell down and tangled with Du Ning's silver hairpin.
Du Ning's pupils trembled and his body suddenly tensed up.
She never expected that Li Lingge would be so bold.
The Great Elder was standing outside the door, and had just noticed something unusual about her.
If they are not careful, the relationship between the two will be completely exposed.
"Don't worry, Great Elder."
Li Lingge took over the conversation with a smile, and drew circles around Du Ning's waist in an ambiguous way with his fingers.
"Palace Master Du is extremely kind and generous. We have already discussed this matter in depth."
He deliberately emphasized the tone of a certain word and felt the stiffness of the body in his arms with satisfaction.
Now Du Ning has become his plaything, and Bai Lingxuan's life or death will not cause any trouble.
"The Saint was just confused for a moment, so a small punishment will be enough."
The Great Elder's pupils suddenly contracted, obviously he didn't expect Li Lingge to respond.
However, Li Lingge's words made her feel relieved.
She was simply worried that the Palace Master would be forced to execute Bai Lingxuan under pressure from Feng Jiu.
As long as Li Lingge, the person involved, does not pursue the matter, then Ziyun Palace will have an easy explanation to Fengjiu.
Du Ning's lower lip, which was bitten so tightly that blood was seeping out, was surging, but when he spoke, his voice was terrifyingly steady.
"Friend Li is absolutely right. Pass on my order. Bai Lingxuan is confined to her house for three years to reflect on her mistakes. During this period, during this period..."
Her voice suddenly stopped and a look of struggle appeared in her eyes.
Li Lingge chuckled, and a golden light flashed at his fingertips. Du Ning immediately took over smoothly.
"During this period, Fellow Daoist Li will be responsible for supervising his cultivation."
After saying this, the light in her eyes completely went out, like an exquisite doll with its soul taken away.
Although the Great Elder was somewhat confused about Du Ning's last words, after thinking about it carefully, this was the best choice.
After all, since Li Lingge suffered such a great injustice, it is Li Lingge who should supervise Bai Lingxuan.
"I want to thank Master Li for not killing Ling Xuan."
"You're welcome. I also want to thank Palace Master Du for discussing the Dao with me."
Li Lingge's thin lips almost touched Du Ning's earlobe, and his hot breath, accompanied by a devilish whisper, penetrated into her ear.
"I heard that the Palace Master of Ziyun Palace possesses the Taixuan Phoenix Body, which is rarely seen in a million years. If you can take away his pure essence, it will help you improve your cultivation. I wonder if it is true?"
His palm slid down her waistline, and a ray of golden fire ignited at his fingertips.
Hiss!
The sound of brocade tearing was particularly harsh in the silent room, and Du Ning's luxurious flowing skirt ripped apart from the waist all the way to the ankles.
The inner garment woven from ice silk could not withstand the domineering true fire at all, and instantly turned into flying ashes.
The cool air suddenly hit her skin, making her shiver all over.
The Great Elder's eyes suddenly widened.
"Palace Master, what's wrong with you?"
Du Ning bit the tip of his tongue tightly, and the taste of rust spread in his mouth.
Her face alternated between pale and blue, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The temperature coming from behind was incredibly hot. Li Lingge's strong chest pressed against her back, and the rise and fall of every muscle was clearly felt.
"No, nothing."
She almost squeezed out these two words from between her teeth, her nails digging deep into the door frame.
