Bai Yao turned and left the room, humming a little tune she had learned from somewhere, and happily walked into the kitchen.
Xiao Yuhan sat alone by the window in the room, lost in thought for a long time.
Suddenly, Miao Xiaodie, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, appeared out of nowhere and tilted her head to look at Xiao Yuhan.
Upon seeing Miao Xiaodie, Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Where did you go? I couldn't find you when you were fighting, but you came as soon as you heard it was time to eat?"
Miao Xiaodie now looks like a ten-year-old girl. She is currently living in the Discipline Hall under the alias Xiao Ru, posing as Xiao Yuhan's daughter. She said with a matter-of-fact expression, "What else? I can't fight with anyone right now. My strength hasn't recovered yet. Protecting myself is the most important thing, so as not to cause you any trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan nodded and smiled, "That's true, you're quite insightful."
Miao Xiaodie sat down at the table, looking worried. "I ran into people from the Five Immortals Sect today, but they didn't notice me. Those traitors have been at the Lotus Platform. I guess they want to target one of Ai Yue, Bai Yao, or Lu Yuan, but I can't figure out what their purpose is."
Xiao Yuhan narrowed his eyes. He knew that since the Five Immortals Sect obeyed "it", it naturally wanted to take action against Bai Yao. This was a problem he had overlooked. Thinking about it carefully, Bai Yao's situation today was really dangerous. Fortunately, nothing bad had happened yet.
But then I thought about it again. Su Li was seriously injured by me today. Although his life or death is unknown, I guess he can have some peace and quiet for a long time to come.
But he dared not relax in the slightest. Judging from his encounter with Su Li today, "it" was very interested in Bai Yao and seemed to want Bai Yao to help him with something. Thinking about it carefully, there was a demon emperor inside Bai Yao's body. Could it be that "it" had some kind of relationship with that demon emperor?
"Xiao Yuhan, what are you thinking about?" Miao Xiaodie's expression was very serious.
"I wasn't thinking about anything... Pshaw! I wasn't thinking about anything."
Miao Xiaodie was dressed in the disciple's robes of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but it still couldn't hide the evil aura emanating from her. After all, she was the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, and certain qualities of hers couldn't be concealed. Suddenly, she gave Xiao Yuhan a meaningful look and asked, "Xiao Yuhan, what's the deal with your disciple?"
"Which apprentice?"
"Don't play dumb! I'm talking about Bai Yao. This girl even has an aura that I can't see through. I even think she's more terrifying than the person who possessed me."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan pretended to be calm, but he was actually very uneasy. He stared at Miao Xiaodie, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. But Miao Xiaodie was a sect leader after all, and she was not afraid of Xiao Yuhan's aura at this moment.
"Are you... trying to silence me?" Miao Xiaodie asked softly.
Xiao Yuhan remained silent.
Miao Xiaodie sighed, "Xiao Yuhan, that's enough... I'm not your enemy. Right now I'm just a stray dog. Once I recover, I'll remember your kindness. We've dealt with each other once before, and you know me. I don't like owing favors to others, so... I won't mention Bai Yao to anyone. Besides, I don't know anything about her background. I just think she's worth paying attention to."
Xiao Yuhan also sighed, thinking that perhaps she was too nervous. "Sect Leader Miao, I believe you, but I don't know much about my disciple either. I just want to protect her. You can understand how a master feels, right?"
Miao Xiaodie gave a wry smile. "Isn't your protection a bit too much? During this time at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I noticed that you treated this girl very differently. To you, is she a disciple or something else?"
"That's not a valid point of yours. If she's not my apprentice, then what is she?"
Miao Xiaodie smiled knowingly, "I don't think this girl's feelings for you are just a simple master-disciple relationship."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Xiao Yuhan frowned.
Miao Xiaodie smiled, resting her chin on her hand, "She likes you, and she likes you a lot, like the feelings between a man and a woman."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was startled. In fact, she could sense that the little girl's feelings for her were far more than just those between a master and disciple.
He wasn't ignorant; in fact, he kept pretending not to, so he remained silent.
"You like her too, not the kind of liking a master has for his disciple, but more like... the liking between lovers. Xiao Yuhan, I am a girl, I know what a girl looks like when she is in love, and I also know what a man looks like when he is in love. I am just very surprised that you, a dignified elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, would actually fall in love with your disciple!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuhan's face turned very ugly, as if he was embarrassed and angry after his thoughts were seen through.
Miao Xiaodie smiled and continued, disregarding everything else, "You are very dependent on her. It's hard to imagine that a respected elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the martial arts world would be so dependent on a little girl. I dare say that if she left, you would be extremely uneasy."
"Enough! Leader Miao, you've talked too much!"
Miao Xiaodie didn't care about Xiao Yuhan's reaction at all. She said again, "If you like someone, you like them. What's wrong with that? It's only natural for a man and a woman to have feelings for each other. You two spend so much time together, isn't it normal for feelings to develop between you?"
Xiao Yuhan was furious. He didn't know why he was so angry at this moment. He immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, "If you talk nonsense again, I will kick you out!"
Miao Xiaodie was taken aback, but immediately gave in, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. But this love story between master and disciple is really captivating!"
