“Once the forbidden technique is broken, Master will inevitably be implicated by his disciple.”
He's testing her again...
"Do you think I'll regret this?" Qin Wan asked back.
Ji Jue paused for a moment before saying, "Disciple did not mean that."
"I just feel that Master's future is bright, and ascending to immortality will be a piece of cake. There's no need for you to gamble your remaining life for me..."
Qin Wan frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want your teacher to ignore you?"
Ji Jue was speechless: "..."
He certainly didn't want that.
He wished she could only have eyes for him.
“If that’s not what you think, then don’t say such sarcastic things,” Qin Wan said.
Ji Jue: "..."
After a brief silence, Ji Jue spoke again, "Disciple is afraid of frightening Master."
Qin Wan glanced at him indifferently, "When you defy your superior, aren't you afraid of frightening your teacher?"
Upon hearing this, an eerie silence instantly fell over the surroundings.
Qin Wan belatedly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
Ji Jue's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Qin Wan gradually warmed...
"Master means that I didn't scare you, right?"
"..." Qin Wan pursed her red lips and didn't speak, but the look of annoyance in her eyes seemed to have increased even more.
Seeing this, Ji Jue gazed at her with even more tenderness in his eyes.
"A-Jue, no matter what, I will never regret it," Qin Wan suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jue smiled.
No regrets...
Even if it's because he has no hope of becoming an immortal?
Thinking of this, a look of madness appeared in Ji Jue's eyes.
[Ji Jue's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 92.]
Master...
Will you really not regret it?
Ji Jue stared intently at Qin Wan.
"Master..."
"Um?"
"Disciple, I'll take you somewhere."
Without giving Qin Wan a chance to refuse, Ji Jue grabbed her hand and flew away from Tianyun Sect.
Forbidden area of Tianyun Sect.
As a rogue immortal, the Ling family patriarch's divine sense covered the entire Tianyun Sect, and he was the first to notice Qin Wan and Ji Jue's departure.
The Ling family patriarch sneered, "Trying to escape? I'd like to see where you two can run to!"
As he spoke, the Ling family patriarch focused his mind and concentrated on removing the forbidden technique from Ling Mubai's body.
As a wandering immortal, he could roam freely among the human, demon, and monster realms.
No matter where Qin Wan and Ji Jue fled, he could easily bring them back.
The prerequisite is to first resolve the ancient forbidden technique on Ling Mubai's body.
Thinking of this, the Ling family patriarch's eyes were filled with a sinister look.
Qin Wan!
Ji Jue!
Once the forbidden technique is lifted, I will make you wish you were dead!
On the banks of the River of Oblivion, beside the Stone of Three Lives.
Ji Jue gently brushed her palm across the Three Lives Stone. A flash of white light appeared, and the names of Qin Wan and Ling Mubai emerged side by side, accompanied by the words "a predestined marriage".
Seeing this, Qin Wan's eyes were filled with complex emotions, while Ji Jue's expression darkened.
It's such an eyesore!
Thinking of this, Ji Jue placed his palm on the Three Lives Stone, and a powerful force of lightning appeared.
The Three Lives Stone is corroded...
The name "Ling Mubai" was gradually destroyed.
Upon seeing this, Qin Wan's pupils contracted sharply.
"Aren't you a dual-elemental root of water and fire?"
Ji Jue glanced at Qin Wan, his thin lips curving slightly, "It's caused by Master's heart's blood."
Heart's blood?
"After I refined my master's drop of heart's blood, I was lucky enough to suddenly comprehend the power of lightning within it, and by some twist of fate, I gained the ability to absorb and utilize lightning spiritual power."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was speechless.
His comprehension...
"Master, look."
Just as Qin Wan was lost in thought, Ji Jue spoke.
On the Stone of Three Lives, Ling Mubai's name disappeared.
At the same time, Ji Jue's name reappeared, listed alongside hers.
"Master, it's been changed back," Ji Jue said happily.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan felt a complex mix of emotions.
"How...did you do that?"
"I only found out after I became a demon. In the illusion, the method used by the Ling family patriarch was a forbidden technique of the demon race."
"As Master said, the power of heavenly thunder can break all demonic obstacles in the world."
"The method used to tamper with the Three Lives Stone is a secret technique of the Demon Clan, which can naturally be broken by the power of heavenly lightning."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's understanding of Ji Jue's comprehension was once again refreshed.
"Will it work?" Qin Wan asked.
"The forbidden techniques of the Demon Clan, which defy fate, will inevitably damage the foundation. The Ling family patriarch originally had several hundred years left in his life, but because he defied fate, his life is about to end."
"Moreover, he annihilated the entire Ji family for his own selfish desires and arbitrarily altered the fates of others. Heaven has already punished him."
"Now, this ancestor's lifespan is running out, and he is powerless to reverse the situation, let alone tamper with the Three Lives Stone again."
Upon hearing Ji Jue's words, Qin Wan instantly understood.
"And what about you?" Qin Wan asked again, her eyes filled with obvious concern and worry.
"Huh?" Ji Jue was taken aback.
Their eyes met, and after seeing the complex expression in Qin Wan's eyes, Ji Jue finally realized the deeper meaning behind her words.
"It is my fault for causing Master worry."
"Forbidden techniques of the Demon Race are difficult to cast, have high requirements, and have even more severe backlashes."
"But if you want to break the curse, as long as you use the right method, you won't leave any aftereffects."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan seemed still uneasy, so she took his hand and gently placed her fingertips on his wrist.
After confirming several times that he was alright, Qin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and made a move to let go of his hand.
Unexpectedly, Ji Jue suddenly grabbed it with her other hand.
"Master..."
Qin Wan was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.
"Does Master have nothing to say?" Ji Jue looked at her gently.
"What...said?" Qin Wan frowned slightly.
"For example, my predestined marriage with my master?" Ji Jue stared intently at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan was speechless.
"Your teacher..."
“A-Jue, the matter of the Ling family patriarch is urgent, and you and I should prioritize cultivation.”
“The greatest taboo in cultivation is inner demons. If Master does not help me get rid of this inner demon, my cultivation will only stagnate.”
"If Master truly cares for his disciple, he should help him resolve his worries and answer his questions..."
Qin Wan: "..." You've said all the nice and bad things, what else can she say?
"As your teacher... I need to think about it," Qin Wan replied after a moment of silence.
"Alright, I'll await Master's reply." With that, Ji Jue smiled gently at her.
Qin Wan pinched her brow in exasperation and made to pull her hand back, but Ji Jue tightened his grip on her fingers.
"...Let go first," Qin Wan said helplessly.
"Doesn't Master like it?"
Qin Wan opened her mouth, then fell silent.
How was she supposed to answer that?
Do you mean you don't like it?
He'll definitely overthink it and keep babbling on and on.
If he really liked her, he would definitely take advantage of the situation...
“A-Jue…” Qin Wan looked at him with a helpless expression.
The moment their eyes met, Ji Jue smiled, a smile that held a profound meaning.
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition washed over her.
Before she could react, Ji Jue had already restrained her.
“A-Jue…”
"don't want……"
