Chapter 123 123 It’s simply trampling on the dignity of the sect’s laws!
They had just confirmed their relationship during the day and were going to spend the night together that same night, so Su Xiaoyuan felt a little stressed.
She went back to the room with her head held high, only to find that the man had already casually untied his hairband, taken off his outer shirt and got into bed. His white silk undershirt made his hair look even darker, and his eyebrows and eyes were more distinct.
He was leaning on her large pillow, holding a book in his hands, reading with great interest by the light of the spirit stone lamp.
The light from the Lingshi lamp tonight was warm, like candlelight. The beauty looked even more graceful under the lamp. When he raised his eyes from the book and looked at her, his peach blossom eyes shone with joy, sparkling like gems.
Su Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, her throat dry and she couldn't speak.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable placed the book in his hand upside down on the quilt: "Let's put it away early."
Su Xiaoyuan didn't dare to stare at his face for too long, for fear of being knocked unconscious. She lowered her eyes and accidentally glanced at the book cover. All the blood in her body instantly rushed to her face.
There are so many serious books on the bookshelf, I don't know how he dug out that unserious "Sword Flower Record" from the corner...
The puppet really took after him in everything, even his strange reading taste!
She subconsciously wanted to take the book and hide it, but then she thought, wouldn't that make her look even more guilty?
He took the first volume, which had some serious plots at the beginning. He probably hadn't read much in such a short time... Su Xiaoyuan was hoping for a lucky break.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable's gaze was as clear as water. "Xiao Yuan has a wide range of knowledge. It turns out there are so many aspects to this matter. It seems I still have a lot to learn."
Su Xiaoyuan: “…”
No, you really don’t need to!
She quickly said, "Books like this are all nonsense. They're exaggerated and don't align with reality."
"Oh?" The man leaned forward slightly, as if interested. "What's not true?"
Su Xiaoyuan saw that he seemed to be interested in discussing academic matters with her, and she yawned in fear: "I'm so sleepy..."
Ling Yuexianzun closed the book and placed it on the bedside table. He then took the initiative to lift the quilt and motioned her to get on the bed: "Xiao Yuan, you are so sleepy, go to sleep quickly."
Su Xiaoyuan's throat tightened and her heart was pounding. She first extinguished the spirit stone lamp, then took off the shirt she was wearing in the dark and got into bed.
Immortal Ling Yue gently held her in his arms, and the unique scent instantly enveloped her.
He kissed her cheek lovingly and whispered in her ear, "Why are you shaking so badly?"
"It's okay..." Su Xiaoyuan said.
Why? Of course it’s because I’m nervous and not used to it!
She could discern a hint of gloating in his tone and suspected that he was asking even though he knew the answer.
Sure enough, my first impression was right. This man is a bit perverted.
"Can't sleep?" he asked again, "Do you want me to coax you to sleep?"
Su Xiaoyuan subconsciously thought it was the puppet's way of saying "lulling me to sleep", and quickly declined: "No, no... This is enough for today..."
"What do you mean enough?" Ling Yue Immortal Venerable asked in confusion.
Su Xiaoyuan then realized that she had misunderstood: "Nothing, I slept with my brother, I'm so sleepy..."
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable uttered "hmm" in a drawn-out tone, and slowly stroked back and forth along her spine through her inner garment, gently pinching the back of her neck, as if he were casually petting a cat.
Su Xiaoyuan originally thought that she would be too nervous to sleep on the first night, but unexpectedly, she quickly relaxed under his gentle caress without any lustful thoughts. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
I slept surprisingly soundly. When I woke up, I saw flashes of light in front of my eyes. It was obvious that the morning light had already shone into the tent.
She felt someone holding her in his arms. In her drowsy state, she unconsciously thought it was a puppet and muttered, "Fu Tingyun, why didn't you wake me up..."
The man touched her earlobe with his soft lips and whispered in her ear, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
But it sounded like thunder to Su Xiaoyuan's ears - that was not the voice of the puppet.
Only then did she remember that this Fu Tingyun was not that Fu Tingyun, and he was not a puppet but her fiancé!
She woke up with a start: "I..."
Although she didn't call the wrong name, the boss was so smart that he must have known that she had recognized the wrong person.
My vision gradually became clear. The man in front of me had a calm face and gentle eyes. He didn't look angry.
"It's usually the puppet who wakes you up?" Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said, "No wonder you made a mistake."
Then he stood up and said, "You can stay in bed for a while. I'll go wash up first."
Su Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but did the boss really not suspect anything? Or was he just turning a blind eye and giving her a way out?
Why wasn't he angry or bothered? Did the boss have some hidden quirks?
Su Xiaoyuan looked suspiciously at the man's tall, straight figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist. Thinking about it this way, it was a bit suspicious that he kissed her in front of the puppet yesterday...
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. I’m going home after completing the mission anyway, so there’s no point in thinking too much.
Somehow, when hope was slim, she dreamed of going home, but now that success was in sight, her mood became complicated.
Just as he was thinking, the door curtain was lifted with a "swish", and Ling Yuexianzun walked in with a steaming copper basin: "Get up and wash up when you wake up."
The number one sword master actually gave her water to wash her face!
Su Xiaoyuan quickly got off the bed and went to fetch the basin with great trepidation: "Thank you, Senior Brother, I can do it myself!"
"Xiao Yuan, you don't have to be so formal with me." The man put the basin aside and lowered his head to wring out the wet cloth. "I'm happy to take care of you. Are these things usually done by puppets?"
Su Xiaoyuan is not good at lying, and the answer is written on her face.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said: "From now on, I will take care of these things."
Su Xiaoyuan: “…”
She really didn't understand why the boss was so keen on stealing the puppeteer's job.
Did he really enjoy it?
After helping her wash up, Ling Yue Xianzun helped her comb her hair.
Su Xiaoyuan didn't expect that he could do this. The bun he braided was neat and beautiful, and the hairpins and ribbons he matched were also very aesthetic. His skill made her suspect that he had a girlfriend.
As if guessing her thoughts, Ling Yue Immortal Venerable glanced in the mirror and, while inserting pearls and flower ornaments into her hair, explained, "Xiao Yuan, are you wondering why I know all these things? I learned them recently, thinking they might be useful someday."
Su Xiaoyuan blushed: "I'm just surprised that Senior Brother can comb his hair so well."
"It's not difficult if you are willing to learn." Ling Yue Immortal Venerable said.
Not long after I combed my hair, the puppet brought me breakfast.
The two of them sat opposite each other and ate a little before it was time to go out.
In order to avoid being seen, they had to go out separately.
Immortal Ling Yue first escorted her to the door and helped her onto the crane carriage. Before leaving, he said, "There's only one Five Elements Magic class at noon today, right?"
Su Xiaoyuan nodded, secretly surprised that he even remembered her class schedule.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable: "Then the interrogation of Zhao Qingluan and others will be arranged at 1:00 PM. A cloud car will pick you up and take you to the Law Enforcement Hall at that time."
Su Xiaoyuan didn't expect that there was another "wait" besides Zhao Qingluan. Thinking that they might have to go to court like in ancient costume dramas, she couldn't help but get nervous.
What's more, she was really found to have a poisonous insect by Guang Moya and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Ling Yue Immortal Venerable shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just focus on your studies."
His promise is more useful than any comfort. It should be said or not, the boss really gives people a sense of security.
…
When I walked out of the classroom after finishing the magic class, Yun Che and the deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall were already waiting outside.
Su Xiaoyuan got into the car nervously. The crane flew for about half a minute and then landed on a cloud platform next to a solitary peak.
The mountain is steep, as if it were cut into pieces. On the cliff stands a group of towering buildings, which is the Law Enforcement Hall.
Perhaps it was intentional, the buildings here were all built of black stone. The halls were narrow and tall, more austere than the ordinary palaces and houses in the sect. Two Xiezhi mythical beasts with black hair all over their bodies and a single horn on their foreheads crouched on both sides of the towering bronze gates. When they saw someone coming, they opened their eyes and looked at the visitor with their bright and sharp golden eyes.
Su Xiaoyuan got out of the car and followed the deacon through the gate. She was really sweating when she passed among the Xiezhi beasts.
She had heard the story of Gao Yao using the Xiezhi to solve cases, and was afraid that it would suddenly jump over and stab her to death with its horns.
Fortunately, the two divine beasts only glanced at her and then lay back down without interest, closed their eyes and continued to doze off.
Maybe it just serves to deter the criminals. Su Xiaoyuan quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
When she arrived at the main hall, she found several peak masters sitting in a row, all wearing solemn black robes.
Su Xiaoyuan saw Immortal Ling Yue at a glance. He sat high on the throne with an expressionless face, like a god in the clouds.
He was completely different from the man who fetched water for her to wash her face, comb her hair and change her clothes in the morning.
Although she knew that she had to avoid suspicion when she was in a compromising situation, Su Xiaoyuan was still a little unsure.
At this moment, Immortal Master Ling Yue turned his gaze to her, and his stern brows suddenly softened, like a spring breeze in February blowing away the ice on the river.
Their eyes met in the air, and she looked away embarrassedly, looking at the three disciples, two men and one woman, kneeling in the hall.
They were all wearing inner sect disciple uniforms, and from behind one could only tell whether they were men or women, but not who they were.
Su Xiaoyuan bowed deeply and said, "Disciple Su Xiaoyuan greets the Sect Master and all the Peak Masters."
She was about to kneel down beside the others when Sect Master Shen said, "Young friend Su, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat first. We can begin the trial once the remaining disciple arrives."
Su Xiaoyuan was stunned. Wasn't she one of the suspects on trial? Why did everyone else kneel while she got a seat? Wasn't such blatant favoritism a bit too arrogant?
Wait, she looked around blankly, but couldn't find an empty seat.
Immortal Master Ling Yue patted his couch and said, "Xiao Yuan, here." His tone was casual but a little helpless, as if he was a confused girlfriend who couldn't find a table for a date.
Only then did Su Xiaoyuan realize that his couch was longer than others and was a double seat.
Although...
Her scalp was about to explode. This was not just blatant, it was a trampling on the dignity of the sect's laws!
She didn't dare to look at other people's expressions, and walked over with her head down to sit next to her new fiancé.
The couch could barely seat two people, and they were almost shoulder to shoulder, legs together.
For a second, Su Xiaoyuan was worried that he would hug her in public.
Fortunately, her fiancé's moral integrity was a little higher than she had imagined.
She glanced down the hall with a look of uneasiness. The three disciples were Zhao Qingluan and the man and woman who came to search the house yesterday. All three of them had pale and shocked expressions.
Sect Master Shen said that there was another disciple, but he didn't know who it was.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps outside the door. A deacon was escorting a female disciple into the hall.
Because of the backlight, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't see the disciple's face clearly, but when she saw his figure and gait, she felt a sense of déjà vu...
"Lin Wan, a disciple of Guangmoya, has been brought here." The deacon said.
Su Xiaoyuan looked at the person who came in astonishment.
Lin Wan had no time to look at her. Her eyes and soul were instantly attracted by the distant figure, and grievances and tears burst out together.
She had put in so much effort and paid so much price, but only today did she see him again after so many years.
In fact, the face of the young man who saved her from danger had become blurred in her memory, but the impression of his astonishing talent was indelible. She recognized him at a glance. He was even more dazzling than before, with the unique and indomitable bearing of a top-notch master.
When she was in pain, she hated his ruthlessness, but the moment she saw him, all her hatred disappeared, leaving only grievances, endless grievances.
"Everyone is here," the man's bone-chilling voice cut off the emotions that were about to surge out of her, "The trial of the poisoning and framing of my Taoist partner Su Xiaoyuan can begin."
Su Xiaoyuan: “???”
