Ying Cizhou's face immediately darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Who allowed you to come in?"
They were currently in a side hall within the Ying Cizhou's sleeping quarters.
Ying Cizhou had previously given orders that he disliked being disturbed and that no one was allowed to enter or leave his bedroom at will.
Even if the sect leader had urgent business to attend to, he would obediently wait outside his bedroom.
Mu Qingning had originally made some delicious pastries and brewed a pot of fine tea, intending to apologize.
To her utter surprise, she couldn't find her master in his bedroom. She was about to leave when she heard a commotion, which led to the scene that just unfolded. Mu Qingning was completely stunned.
Ying Cizhou restrained his anger, not wanting to show Wan Ge a side that would frighten her.
To be honest, he didn't want to take on any disciples, but fate guided him to take Mu Qingning as his disciple and give her the best resources.
So he brought out the two ancient swords he had obtained from the Hidden Sword Pool and offered them to her to choose from. However, her behavior was becoming increasingly repulsive to him, and he felt he was about to throw her out.
"Little Master." Wan Ge's beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of confusion as her gaze fell entirely on Mu Qingning.
"Don't call me!" Mu Qingning took two steps back, as if she had seen something disgusting.
Ying Cizhou was extremely displeased by the other party's reaction and attitude. With a slight twitch of his finger, Mu Qingning was thrown away, and a barrier had already been set up in front of the Zizhong Palace.
Mu Qingning was also somewhat annoyed that she had reacted too much just now, and probably had already displeased her master.
Mu Qingning gritted her teeth, her hands clenched tightly. Why?! She was exceptionally talented, had stunning looks, and a lively personality.
Her personality is exactly the kind that a powerful figure like Ying Cizhou, who is used to seeing dull and boring cultivation disciples, would probably like.
But why would he fall for a sword spirit who is nothing at all? A person who has nothing but the sword manual and techniques left behind by the person who once wielded the Night-Shining Sword in his mind.
Her own power still depends on the sword; she will never be able to ascend to immortality or become a god like her.
She is exceptionally talented, one in a million, and quite similar to Ying Cizhou; they should be a match made in heaven.
She's the female lead of this world; all men should love, pamper, and protect her. But why is Ying Cizhou different?
At first, it really was as the Book of Destiny said. Ying Cizhou accepted her as his only disciple, showering her with rare and precious materials, valuable weapons, and top-grade elixirs.
Ying Cizhou gave him almost everything that was best, which was the right direction for development, but things changed after Wan Ge appeared.
At first, Ying Cizhou's attitude towards her was not very obvious, as if there was nothing else besides several sword spirits guiding her.
But a woman's intuition is very accurate. Even if Ying Cizhou only glanced at Wan Ge once more, she could sense that something was different.
Wan Ge didn't appear immediately after she formed a pact with Ying Cizhou; she appeared before Wan Ge did.
Ying Cizhou was actually rather cold towards people. After Wan Ge appeared, although he didn't talk much, he stood there like a gentle and refined immortal. At that time, she thought it was just her imagination.
Looking back now, everything makes sense. Ying Cizhou must have had a good impression of Wan Ge from the moment he saw her, so he wanted to create a good image in front of her.
All that talk about a refined gentleman and gentle, jade-like demeanor was a lie; I had actually been deceived myself.
Mu Qingning took a deep breath. The Book of Destiny stated that Ying Cizhou was merely a supporting male character, and sooner or later, this supporting character would become a stepping stone for her and Ye Zhan.
However, she did not agree with this point, because according to the Book of Destiny, Ye Zhan, as the male protagonist, would surpass Ying Cizhou and become the number one cultivator in the world.
However, the gap between them is still too large, so large that if it weren't for the Book of Destiny, Mu Qingning wouldn't even want to pay attention to Ye Zhan or bother with him.
In truth, Mu Qingning didn't think Ye Zhan was particularly capable. Aside from being slightly older than her, his cultivation talent wasn't even as high as hers. How could Mu Qingning possibly admire someone like that?
According to the Book of Destiny, the reason Ye Zhan is so weak now is simply because he has a seal on him. Once the seal is broken, his innate talents will be fully revealed.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to break the seal; the higher his power goes, the easier it will be for him to break through the seal.
Therefore, besides wanting to take Wan Ge away from Ying Cizhou, Ye Zhan also really wanted Ye Zhan to improve his own abilities, because only by improving his own strength could he possibly become a true big shot.
Because Ying Cizhou is a supporting male character, the Book of Destiny doesn't contain much information about him.
It simply stated that Ying Cizhou would take her as his only female disciple and give her all the best resources. She would later become a stepping stone for her and Ye Zhan's cultivation, lending them a helping hand.
As for Wan Ge, there was no record of her in the Book of Destiny, so Mu Qingning didn't take her seriously at first, until she sensed something was wrong.
…
…
Wan Ge was still looking in the direction Mu Qingning had just left when Ying Cizhou gently touched her face with his fingertips: "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to listen to her, and you don't need to call her master?"
“Master, I…” Wan Ge tried to explain.
Ying Cizhou lowered his head again, his breath almost touching her face: "What should you call me?"
"Husband...husband..." Wan Ge felt that this was not right, but she could not contradict her master, so she obediently called him husband.
Ying Cizhou knew perfectly well that her calling him "husband" was not voluntary; she simply couldn't refuse his orders, and he was happy just to hear her call him that.
…
At first, Wan Ge didn't think anything of it, even though Ying Cizhou often pulled her into doing certain things, which he called dual cultivation.
Although Wan Ge didn't understand, he listened to him because he was the master.
However, she later discovered that her magical power had increased significantly. Because of this increase, the sword energy of the Night-Shining Sword also became stronger, possessing a radiance it had never shown before.
Wan Ge realized that even at the peak of his strength, he had never possessed such power, and this great power was all because he was currently cultivating with Ying Cizhou.
After discovering that her power was increasing, Wan Ge, who had originally only cooperated, would occasionally take the initiative.
Regardless of her reasons, Ying Cizhou was particularly pleased and worked even harder to cultivate with her.
