"Why, you think you're good enough just because you've advanced two levels."
Sheng Wu threw the whip on the ground, lowered her eyes and glanced at Huai Jin coldly, her voice as cold and lazy as a queen was filled with sneer and contempt.
"...Disciple dare not."
Huai Jin's handsome face was tense, his delicate jawline was sharp, and he frowned. The expectation for Sheng Wu's reaction in his heart was instantly shattered.
His hands squeezed tightly.
"I dare not." Sheng Wu sneered.
"You are only in the middle stage of fusion now. Do you know what level Yu Chenming has reached? You are complacent and get carried away with just a little progress."
"You, after all, are not as good as him..." A meaningful sigh.
“…”
As Huai Jin listened, the scarlet pupils under his lowered head became more vicious and evil. The fists under his sleeves were almost broken, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart by blades.
It hurts!
Sheng Wu’s words kept replaying in my mind: You are not as good as him after all!
Not as good as him!
Why, why must he be compared with Yu Chenming? In his previous life, Yu Chenming had everything. He was the only disciple of the Immortal Saint Wu, who was loved and envied by everyone, while he was just a lowly piece of mud that anyone could step on!
He had finally managed to change everything in this life, but why did even his master look down on him? And why did she always favor Yu Chenming?!
In other words, the black ball is now asleep, otherwise it would have screamed no matter what.
[Holy shit, host, what have you done? The villain's dark power is about to reach the point of shattering the world?!]
Just as Huai Jin's pupils were about to be gradually eroded by the hidden black mist, the aura around him became dark and terrifying, as if some demonic energy was about to seep out and envelop him.
"Never mind. Even if you are not as good as Yu Chenming in every way, I am still willing to spend five years to train you personally."
Suddenly, Huai Jin felt a warm and delicate touch on his cold face.
His body stiffened, his pupils trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at the scene in front of him. He squatted down and raised his hand to stroke the holy charm on his perfect right face with his fingers.
“Master…”
The dry Adam's apple moved, and the hoarse voice sounded like a stray puppy picked up by a soft-hearted god. In an instant, the darkness, resentment and anger in Huai Jin's heart all disappeared.
All his remaining heartbeats were spent on feeling the holy charm that was less than two fists away, and the soft touch of her hand on his face.
The pair of pupils, which had not yet had time to dissipate the black mist, moved and met Sheng Wu's slightly curved and soft beautiful eyes, which seemed to be filled with thousands of stars shining brightly.
Plop! Plop!
Huai Jin didn't have time to react to Sheng Wu's words. All that remained in his mind was the sound of his heartbeat.
Sheng Wu helped him up with her own hands, and a hint of pity appeared in her cold and indifferent eyes.
"Alright, Master knows that your progress is not easy now. It's also Master's fault that I was too anxious and didn't think more about your feelings. What's the point of worrying about those things? Master won't force you anymore."
She held Huai Jin's arm and slowly let go after he stood up, causing a hint of loss to flash across his eyes.
But after listening to Sheng Wu's words and recalling what had just happened, his eyes moved, and a hint of fear and nervousness flashed across his pupils.
"Master, you..."
Is she going to give up on herself? !
As if seeing the worry and tension in his eyes, Sheng Wu pursed her lips, and a smile appeared in her cold eyes.
"Don't worry, it's not that I don't want you anymore, I just don't want to force you to become stronger." She paused, her face looking melancholy, "Some people have their own destiny, and it can't be forced."
Hearing this, Huai Jin not only did not feel relieved, but became even more nervous.
"Master, then you don't plan to train disciples anymore..."
Sheng Wu looked at him intently, and after a few seconds of silence, she slowly spoke.
"Yes and no. I will still train you, but it won't be as radical. How much progress you can make depends on your own luck."
Hearing this, Huai Jin was almost instantly.
"Plop!" A soft sound.
He knelt down again, raised his head and looked at her nervously with his scarlet and trembling pupils, speaking very quickly.
"Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't be complacent just because I've made a little progress! Please don't do this. I'm willing to be trained by you in a radical way. I never blame you. I only ask that you treat me as a substitute for my senior brother, even as a tool for killing. I only ask that you still use my value!"
If the master really did not train him as Yu Chenming's substitute, it also meant that she would pay less attention to him, or even stop paying attention to him, and he would not even have the chance to stay with her.
After a pause, Huai Jin seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lifted his kneeling legs, one step at a time.
He stepped forward and approached Sheng Wu, and the blood-stained hem of Yuebai's clothes moved slightly with his movements.
Even though there were sharp stones under his knees, he was elegant and dignified, yet with a hint of abstinence.
Huai Jin's handsome face trembled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with madness. "Master, aren't you going to kill your husband to prove your truth? I can do that! I'm willing to be a stepping stone on your path to ascension! I understand your temperament best among the eleven of you. Yu Chenming has ulterior motives and has switched to being Zhao Wuji's disciple. Luo Qi likes Hua Lingjiu, and the rest of my brothers are not as talented as I am."
"Would you please choose me as your Taoist partner? I know I am as lowly as mud and not worthy of you in the slightest, but I will not overstep my bounds in any way towards you. I will do anything you wish!"
[Ding! Villain Favorability: 75!]
The boy was almost tortured to the point of mental instability by the sudden and huge emotional fluctuations. His pupils were dark red and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
He knelt on the ground and looked at Sheng Wu with a humble expression but also a wicked and crazy look. His fingertips even trembled as he raised them to touch the hem of Sheng Wu's clothes.
But due to inner inferiority and repression, he dared not take any action.
“Bang!”
But what he got in return was a slap from Sheng Wu.
The silver mask on Huai Jin's face was knocked off and fell directly to the ground, revealing the black seal on the left side of his face.
Not only did it not calm him down, but the madness and trembling in his black eyes became even more intense, and the veins on his neck bulged, making him look restrained yet charming.
