Seeing Jiang Shuyu's embarrassed reaction, Qin Wan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
On Phoenix Mountain, apart from Xiao Han, Jiang Shuyu and Nangong Rou, because they were not personally taught by the original owner, did not have much affection for her as their master, nor much respect for her.
Look at that idiot Jiang Shuyu. Nangong Rou reacted so strongly, she didn't even recognize her as her master, and she even showed extreme rejection towards her.
Jiang Shuyu not only did not suspect Nangong Rou's strange behavior, but even helped Nangong Rou guard against her.
Thinking about this, Qin Wan found it utterly ridiculous.
"It's all my fault, please don't blame my junior sister, Master."
Despite feeling humiliated by Qin Wan's targeting, Jiang Shuyu still tried to defend Nangong Rou in his words.
"Second Senior Brother, don't you think you're ridiculous?" This time, before Qin Wan could speak, Ji Jue spoke first.
"It was clearly Second Senior Brother who asked Master for help, so why is he acting all wary and like Master is going to harm Senior Sister?"
Jiang Shuyu opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but Ji Jue didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Furthermore, Senior Sister's condition is so serious that she doesn't even remember Master. Doesn't Second Senior Brother worry or have any doubts?"
"You must know, this is the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm..."
"We are currently in the midst of a sealed gate where survival is extremely difficult."
"Second Senior Brother, are you really sure about Senior Sister's safety?"
Ji Jue spoke in a low voice, his handsome face showing a stern expression, his dark eyes staring intently at Nangong Rou, his expression unfathomable.
Jiang Shuyu was startled, and his hands holding Nangong Rou stiffened.
After noticing his odd behavior, Nangong Rou felt a surge of hatred and quickly swept her venomous gaze across Qin Wan and Ji Jue.
"Master, Master?" Nangong Rou asked tremulously, looking at Qin Wan with a look of fear and unease.
"Master, is it really you?"
"Waaaaah, Master, why did it take you so long to save Rou'er..."
"Master, Rou'er is in so much pain and discomfort..."
The words spoken by "Nangong Rou" were very intimate, but her body remained tightly curled up in Jiang Shuyu's arms, her slender body tense, looking wary.
Sensing her unease, Jiang Shuyu's rationality was quickly overwhelmed by his emotions...
As Ji Jue said, this is the most dangerous Death Gate in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, and countless demons are lurking in the unknown dark places all around.
It's normal for Rou'er to be scared.
Even someone as powerful as Master can be controlled by demons and lose his mind, right?
After all, there was already the precedent of Shangling Zhenjun.
Thinking of this, the little bit of rationality that Jiang Shuyu had managed to regain vanished instantly...
Qin Wan watched the interaction between Jiang Shuyu and "Nangong Rou" without saying a word, but out of her love and care as a master, she still said something.
"A monster enters the body."
The simple four words made Jiang Shuyu freeze.
He subconsciously looked down at Nangong Rou in his arms.
"Rou'er..."
"Second Senior Brother..."
Nangong Rou's eyes were red and filled with tears. She threw herself into his arms, tightly hugging his neck and waist, her slender body trembling slightly with unease.
With just this ridiculous behavior, the slight wariness, unease, and suspicion that had risen in Jiang Shuyu's heart instantly faded away.
Seeing this, Ji Jue looked at Qin Wan uneasily, "Master?"
"Worried about your senior sister?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow at him.
Ji Jue shook her head, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'm worried about Master."
Qin Wan was taken aback. Was she worried about her?
Their eyes met, and Ji Jue explained, "If something were to happen to Senior Sister, Master would certainly be heartbroken."
"I don't want to see Master sad and upset."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Of the four fellow disciples, you have the sweetest tongue."
Ji Jue's eyes lit up, seemingly pleased by Qin Wan's praise.
[Ji Jue's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 44.]
Does the deeper meaning behind Master's words indicate that she likes him the most in her heart?
"Junior sister..."
A familiar male voice came through.
Qin Wan frowned slightly and turned to look at Ling Mubai, who had woken up at some point behind her.
"Is Senior Brother feeling better?" Qin Wan paused for a moment.
Ling Mubai stared at her with his dark eyes, filled with regret, and even more so with deep self-blame and guilt.
“…I’m sorry.” Ling Mubai felt his throat was dry and found it difficult to speak.
Seeing his red eyes, Qin Wan said calmly, "As long as Senior Brother is alright."
Ji Jue, on the other hand, upon seeing Ling Mubai wake up, even though he knew that the other party had broken free from the control of the demon, he still instinctively protected Qin Wan, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing Ji Jue's reaction, Ling Mubai's already pale face turned even paler.
Qin Wan, however, smiled almost imperceptibly after seeing his adorable reaction.
"I'm fine," Qin Wan said softly, comforting him as he shielded her behind him.
"Master, you are still injured..." Ji Jue said, looking at Ling Mubai with a wary expression.
He will definitely surpass him!
hurt……
Upon hearing this word, Ling Mubai's pupils contracted, and his gaze instinctively fell on the sword wound on Qin Wan's chest.
Even though he was controlled by his inner demons, he vaguely remembered how devastated and desperate he felt when the sword pierced Qin Wan.
But he couldn't control himself...
The existence of Ji Jue, in particular, made him extremely jealous.
Having known Qin Wan for decades and fought alongside her countless times, he understood her better than anyone else.
Qin Wan treats Ji Jue differently.
This difference even far surpasses that of Xiao Han, Xiao Han's personal disciple.
Especially when he learned that Qin Wan had no romantic feelings for him...
She didn't have any for him? Then who did she have any for?
A man's sixth sense made Ling Mubai notice Ji Jue, who was being treated specially, immediately.
Ji Jue was personally brought back to the sect by Qin Wan, and was also the last disciple Qin Wan accepted.
On the day she accepted Ji Jue as her disciple, Qin Wan also said that she would temporarily stop her secluded cultivation in order to properly teach Ji Jue... and incidentally make amends to the three senior brothers and sisters, Xiao Han, Jiang Shuyu, and Nangong Rou.
As he pondered, Ling Mubai's clear eyes once again turned a crimson hue.
Qin Wan immediately sensed something was wrong...
"Senior brother."
Cool fingertips landed on his brow, and his mind, which had been overwhelmed by jealousy, regained its clarity.
Ling Mubai looked up at her, who was so close to him, and felt the soft, cool touch of her fingertips on his forehead.
Ling Mubai instinctively grabbed her hand...
"Junior sister, I'm sorry."
Ling Mubai's eyes were slightly red, and his voice carried a faint sob.
Qin Wan shook her head, "Senior brother, you're overthinking it. I don't blame you."
After speaking, Qin Wan exerted a slight force with her palm to break free from Ling Mubai's grasp.
In the instant the large hand slipped limply to the ground, Ling Mubai felt a void in his heart, as if a large part of it had been hollowed out...
It seems that he and his junior sister... really can't go back.
"Master."
After regaining his senses, Ji Jue immediately stepped forward, took Qin Wan's hand, and shielded her behind him, while he stared warily at Ling Mubai, who still harbored wicked intentions.
That old man is so annoying!!
