"Qinghan, listen to what your master has to say."
Su Cheng smiled and ruffled Ye Qinghan's hair. In the past, this trick was surprisingly effective. No matter what Ye Qinghan was doing or thinking, as long as he patted her head, Ye Qinghan would be very happy.
But Ye Qinghan couldn't care less about that now; she didn't want her master to say anything!
She has to speak first!
"No, that's not it. It's because I've become arrogant and spoiled. I knew my master couldn't bear to punish me, so I..."
Su Cheng still smiled kindly, as always, except for the helpless look in his eyes, as if he were facing certain death.
To be honest, Ye Qinghan didn't know how to put these two four-character phrases together; perhaps only Li Shiyao would say something like that.
But at this moment, that was all Su Cheng saw. Although he had already given his life to his two personal disciples, he was still helpless against these two little devils.
"Of course I know that, but that's not what I want to say."
Ye Qinghan knew that acting cute would probably not work at this point, but she still clung tightly to her master.
Ye Qinghan knew that wiping away tears at this moment would only make her master think she was like a child, but she still couldn't help but shed a little pearl.
"You are everything to me in this world, and I wish I could remove all obstacles in your path."
"I'm sorry... Master..."
When did it start?
Ye Qinghan doesn't remember.
When that sense of security allowed her to sleep without having to sleep with a sword under her pillow, and when she no longer coveted how many treasures her master possessed, perhaps her master became an invincible being in her eyes.
It seems that no matter what kind of enemy he encounters, Master can deal with them with ease.
When I first joined Lingxian Palace, my master rarely went out except to buy groceries.
Even the Pingyun Sect was destroyed by her own eldest disciple.
But now, for Shi Yao's sake, Master went to Panlong Mountain alone, risking his life to fight the old Dragon King with his cultivation level which was less than Foundation Establishment, just to borrow the Spirit Pearl.
A master who always wanted to be safe and had a dozen plans made, actually did something as irrational as risking his life.
Master is not invincible; it was just that one sword strike from that jade slip that intimidated those fools.
But now, that sword strike seems to have intimidated her as well.
When she realized that all of this was because of her pride, she felt inexplicably angry, but didn't know who to vent her anger on.
She wanted her master to love her, she wanted her master to have the dignity of the Lingxian Palace leader, and she wanted the Lingxian Palace to be feared by the world!
She didn't want to be looked down upon anymore, and she didn't want Lingxian Palace to be just an unknown little sect. She wanted to have the power to avenge the hatred of the Northern Demon Capital back then!
But all Master wanted was for her and Shiyao to be safe and happy.
The master has many flaws; he is so timid that he is even bullied by an old lady buying groceries, but he dares to defy fate and change his disciple's destiny.
The master was weak and could endure being bullied, but he could not tolerate his disciples suffering the slightest grievance.
Master is cautious and meticulous. Even against weak opponents, he will devise a full strategy to strive for perfection. However, he often acts impulsively for the sake of his disciples.
The master was also very lecherous, always staring at beautiful women on the street, but he never had any ill intentions towards her.
Master is a picky eater, so when he prepares a meal, he always makes his two disciples eat more.
There are many more...
"Today, Qinghan showed mercy, letting the tiger return to the mountain. But what about tomorrow? When that knife is swung towards your junior sister, towards your master, will Qinghan regret not eliminating the threat completely that day?"
"Qinghan knows he was wrong..."
Su Cheng smiled, lifted Ye Qinghan's chin, and they looked at each other as if admiring a beauty, but at this moment Ye Qinghan only had a tearful face.
"Don't rush to admit your mistake. Your teacher needs you to understand the consequences. Don't always be so quick to apologize and try to appease your teacher."
"Qinghan, go and kill her right now!"
Ye Qinghan was also anxious. Before he could wipe away his tears, he was about to draw his sword and leave, but Su Cheng grabbed him.
Su Cheng smiled and shook his head: "Qing Han doesn't know that fate has its own destiny. If things don't go as planned, forcing things might cause trouble."
"What should we do about Qinghan?"
This was one of the few times Su Cheng took Ye Qinghan into his arms. More important than killing Shangguan Rou and seizing power was making his disciple understand.
"Qinghan is getting impatient again, isn't she? Qinghan just needs to focus on swinging each sword carefully, and I'll take care of the rest."
Ye Qinghan thought to herself that she was getting a little unaccustomed to not being able to hear her master's thoughts for a while, as she couldn't predict his ideas at all.
...So...what Master is thinking about now is something I shouldn't know?
As if suddenly awakened, according to her master, Shangguan Rou's sword did not possess the power of this world...
Ye Qinghan speculated that there were two possibilities.
One reason is that the power involves another world, and it's information that I can't access, which is why I can't hear it.
Secondly, it involves the Master, since there are occasional times when one cannot hear the message.
Regardless of the reason, it demonstrates that the power behind it is beyond one's own comprehension.
"This disciple is foolish. Does Master mean that Qinghan should focus on the task at hand?"
Ye Qinghan was speaking the truth; she really didn't understand her master's meaning.
"What I mean is, when it's time to wield the sword, don't hesitate. The Frost Sword is never just an ornament to be worn on your person."
"Disciple understands, thank you for your guidance, Master."
"Do you really understand?" Su Cheng, with a hint of suspicion, lifted Ye Qinghan's delicate face again, gently pinched her nose, and smiled.
"Um."
"You didn't cry when your teacher spanked you, so why do you burst into tears after just a few words?"
