Chapter 166

Girl's Heart

Counting on my fingers, the last time the two master and apprentice met was before Ruan Ci went into seclusion. After achieving the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, True Person Wang had not seen Ruan Ci again, just letting Tianlu pass the message in the middle. Ruan Ci was quite angry at that time that True Person Wang refused to see her. It was just that things had changed, and she forgot the subtle girl's heart at that time. She was just happy that True Person Wang actually came to pick her up, and her heart was full of sweetness. Until this moment, she suddenly realized that she actually missed True Person Wang quite a bit, but she didn't even feel it herself. Although she had never been so intimate with True Person Wang, she couldn't bear to retreat for a while. Hugging True Person Wang's neck, without waiting for him to reply, she urged and asked, "True Person, tell me, why did you come to pick me up."

True Person Wang frowned slightly and said 'How long are you going to toss', but after all, he didn't push Ruan Ci away. Ruan Ci continued to pester him and ask endlessly. Under the blue sky, many eyes were cast. The cultivators had different expressions. Xu Shaowei wanted to speak but stopped, and in the end, she didn't dare to say more. She lowered her head and slipped to the bow of the boat, greeted Qi Yueying's master, and Ruan Rong also saluted her senior brother first, walked over and blamed, "Aunt Ci, why are you so rude? Look at others, who is not trembling and saluting the teacher, only you, shouting and screaming, without any rules, isn't this losing the face of our Shangqing?"

Ruan Ci looked around, and sure enough, she saw the cultivators seen in the marsh, all standing respectfully behind their teachers, and those who hadn't finished saluting were all as respectful and solemn as Qi Yueying, both respectful and afraid. Even Mo Shenai had just climbed up from the ground, and then ran to the side of the middle-aged cultivator at the top, acting like a spoiled child to a beautiful woman beside him. Thinking about it, that must be True Person Cuiyun and Mo Shenai's foster mother. This time, Taiwei and Shangqing both had Grotto-Heaven True Person incarnations coming to pick them up.

The two looked at each other from a distance. Mo Shenai's eyes were meaningful, and she suddenly made a face at Ruan Ci again. Ruan Ci stuck out her tongue at her, turned her head to look back, and said with surprise, "Tianlu, you are here too!"

She took the opportunity to let go of True Person Wang and hugged Tianlu who ran out of the cabin. Tianlu jumped and laughed, "Miss Ci, thank you for writing to me. This is the first time I have received a letter."

She walked away from True Person Wang to play. Xu Shaowei, Ruan Rong, and Qi Yueying also came to salute. True Person Wang responded faintly, said some encouraging words, all of which were unimportant light words, and said to Xu Shaowei, "You did a good job on this errand, and your temperament has also improved. You learned to restrain yourself and were not blinded by greed. Very good."

Xu Shaowei's face turned pale, and she responded in a low voice, not daring to say more. She was afraid of True Person Wang and Lu Huangning. Ruan Ci was not the first time to notice this. At this time, she couldn't help but ponder True Person Wang's meaning, and secretly thought, "No way, the power of the great array is so thick, and Senior Sister Xu's cultivation is so wonderful, she is already at the perfection of Golden Core, and it is only one step away from Nascent Soul. Even so, the True Person can still sense her thoughts outside the array and know that she had the idea of taking Sister Rong to trade for Yang Qi?"

She was really happy to see True Person Wang this time, and only calmed down until this moment. She remembered that Qu Qu Tan Yue was an incarnation here, and didn't know if his main body had come, and if the Xuanpo Sect had sent anyone else, so she turned around to pay attention to Qu Qu Tan Yue's movements. Seeing that he also fell into a small boat and looked over, she smiled like a flower and waved goodbye to him. Tianlu also hid half of her body behind Ruan Ci, curiously revealing a big eye, looking at Qu Qu Tan Yue.

Qu Qu Tan Yue's expression was calm. Even if he only had Golden Core cultivation, his appearance was very eye-catching among the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Seeing Ruan Ci looking over, a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he nodded slightly in response, and looked at True Person Wang again, then turned and fell onto the deck. Ruan Ci thought, "He seems to be angry. Is this also the backlash of the emotion seed?"

But a thought arose, and she didn't care. She turned her head and threw this matter aside, pulling Tianlu to chatter. True Person Wang's eyes fell on the two of them, and both were unaware. Ruan Rong sighed slightly and was about to speak, but Qi Yueying suddenly gave her a wink. Ruan Rong was also startled in her heart, knowing that she had a bit of overstepping, and hurriedly stopped mentioning it. True Person Wang said to Qi Yueying's master, True Person Zhuang, "Rotten wood cannot be carved, it can only be so. It must have been hard for Yue Niang along the way."

"What are you talking about, Junior Uncle." True Person Zhuang was as respectful to True Person Wang as Qi Yueying was to him, fearing that there would be any negligence, and hurriedly said, "Junior Sister Ci's nature is natural, why do you need to be restrained? Just came out of the Absolute Dead Zone, this time it was also turbulent, so let her be relaxed for a moment, what does it matter."

True Person Wang heard this and didn't express his opinion. Ruan Rong stood beside Xu Shaowei with her head down, her heart beating fast, secretly thinking, "Saying it's rotten wood that cannot be carved, but when has he ever restrained her a little? Uncle is so doting on Aunt Ci. It was really my abruptness just now. Although Aunt Ci is my sister, the master-apprentice relationship in the cultivation world is far better than blood relatives. How can I overstep Uncle to restrain Aunt Ci. This time it was a lack of caution, not as careful as Yue Niang."

She also knew that True Person Wang practiced a sensing method, so she only dared to think a little, and all other vague worries were pressed to the bottom of her heart. She followed everyone into the cabin, and saw Ruan Ci pulling Tianlu to sneak in, and she was not standing behind True Person Wang, standing in the corner and tossing with Tianlu to make tea, and she didn't dare to say anything more. She just sat under her senior brother and listened to Xu Shaowei talk about what happened after entering the marsh.

The three had been separated for a period of time, and their experiences were different. True Person Wang didn't ask in detail, just listened to a general idea. Knowing that there might be two Great Yu cultivators in the marsh, as well as a Langhuan Golden Core of unknown origin, and Zhong Shiliu was lost in the space rift, he nodded and said, "I already know."

Xu Shaowei asked, "Junior Uncle, who is leading the disposal this time?"

True Person Wang didn't answer. He seemed to be very disgusted with Xu Shaowei. The few words just now were also implied beating. True Person Zhuang answered on his behalf, "It is decided by Taiwei and Shangqing. Fu Manzi of the Qingling Sect had an accident here and was rescued, and the causality has been broken, so it is inconvenient to take action again. Our Shangqing is Junior Uncle, and on the Taiwei side, True Person Cuiyun also sent an incarnation, but I'm afraid it's not urgent to take action yet."

He looked at True Person Wang for instructions. True Person Wang nodded slightly. True Person Zhuang said, "Since Zhong Shiliu is trapped in the space rift, I'm afraid True Person Qingshan is coming, so let's wait for them."

It seems that True Person Qingshan still wants to fish out Zhong Shiliu. Ruan Ci had many doubts in her heart. At this time, she felt that Xu Shaowei was very annoying—if there were only master and apprentice, she would have started pestering long ago and had to ask the bottom of it. True Person Zhuang, Qi Yueying, and Ruan Rong were here, so True Person Wang would probably not be as easy to move as when they were alone, and Xu Shaowei was even less liked by him. With her here, True Person Wang would probably not say a word more.

Since she couldn't ask True Person Wang, Ruan Ci asked with her eyes to Tianlu. Tianlu whispered, "That True Person Zhong is the successor in the heart of True Person Qingshan, so naturally he will not let him drift outside."

This was something Ruan Ci had already figured out. Tianlu was like saying a few nonsense words. Ruan Ci pouted, took the teacup from his hand, walked to True Person Wang's side and put it down, and whispered 'Master, have tea'.

True Person Wang looked at her, took the teacup without making a sound, and just rubbed it in his palm. Tianlu brought the tea tray again to serve tea to the others, but True Person Zhuang said, "These people returned from the marsh, and it was also a delay in their cultivation. I was just about to send them to rest and practice, just waiting for Junior Uncle to finish his business here, and return to the mountain together."

Saying this, he got up to say goodbye. He was just like Qi Yueying, best at capturing other people's intentions, and also deeply knew how to advance and retreat.

True Person Wang didn't keep them much, just said, "Qingshan is probably coming soon. You all act according to your own magic power, don't be too greedy."

True Person Zhuang, Xu Shaowei, and Qi Yueying all bowed their heads and promised. Obviously, this was some knowledge that only the Golden Core stage could touch. Ruan Ci's curiosity increased in her heart, and she had a little more good feelings for True Person Zhuang. She greeted her sister casually, and looked at True Person Wang eagerly. As soon as everyone exited the cabin, she asked impatiently, "Master, this..."

Seeing that True Person Wang was still holding the teacup, her heart moved again, and she changed her words, "This... this tea was bought by me asking someone in the Remote Mountain Market. It's so expensive, it cost me a lot of spirit jade. You should taste it first, it's not in vain for my filial piety."

This sentence sold several favors, and also vaguely pointed out that True Person Wang didn't give much, and Ruan Ci's family background was very thin. This involved the rude jade slip she sent to True Person Wang. True Person Wang looked like a smile, turned his head and looked at Ruan Ci twice. Ruan Ci was looked at more and more guilty. At this time, thinking of the jade slip she sent on the way, she was very regretful. Her eyes turned around, and she winked at Tianlu again.

Tianlu also understood, gathered his courage and said loudly, "Miss Ci, what you saw in the Wugou Sect is very mysterious. After I received the letter, I immediately reported it to the True Person. You recorded it very carefully. Thinking about it, even if the young master and lady of the Sect Master's lineage have any gains, they can't compare to our Zixu Heaven's insights."

Only then did Ruan Ci understand. With True Person Wang's arrogance, if he had to send someone to ask True Person Zhuang, let him pass it on carefully, or learn from Tianlu's report, wouldn't he lose face, and let people know that the Zixu Heaven master and apprentice are not in harmony? Hurriedly said, "How could I not want to tell Master, I'm just afraid that Master will think I'm wordy. Since Master doesn't think my knowledge is shallow, then I am naturally willing to say it, and there are many things I want to ask."

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "Since the sensing is already so supernatural, even the Remote Mountain Sect's great array cannot block it, then doesn't it mean that wherever I go, Master's eyes and ears are there? What else is there that he doesn't know, and he still wants me to say it myself, it's really superfluous."

She also knew that as her thoughts fluctuated and her cultivation increased, the master-apprentice causality would only become more closely linked. Even if there was a curse protection, when the two were face to face, True Person Wang could probably read her thoughts, so she was a bit broken. This was also because although True Person Wang was not very generous to her, he was indulgent, and had never restrained or punished Ruan Ci, so her courage gradually grew, and she gradually became wanton in front of True Person Wang.

At the moment, she walked out from behind True Person Wang, picked a stool at will, and sat beside True Person Wang, but did not sit under True Person Wang. Because the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, if it was all up to Ruan Ci, she liked to act like a spoiled child the most. It was just that there was a difference between men and women. If True Person Wang was a female cultivator, she would have been in his arms by this time. She gathered her spirits and told all her experiences and insights along the way. Naturally, there were many questions. After finishing this section of the Wugou Sect, she said, "Is this some secret method, to achieve the Dao through bitter cultivation? I just don't understand, if it is secret method cultivation, I think it is also the cultivation of an elder in the temple. How can one person's Great Dao make the whole temple practice bitter cultivation together? Even if the rest of the monks are fine, the Wugou Sect still has several other Bodhisattva high monks, how can they agree?"

True Person Wang seemed to really not know much about this section of the Wugou Sect. Hearing Ruan Ci's narrative, he rubbed the side of the cup with his long fingers and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "The wind and clouds are rising, all parties are placing pieces, and the Central Continent will not be peaceful again."

Ruan Ci said, "Young Master Yue mentioned this matter, and he seemed to be very concerned, saying 'How can the Wugou Sect have such courage, there must be hidden feelings in this matter'. I just don't understand, does this secret method of the Wugou Sect hinder other sects? Otherwise, even if they close the door and toss, what does it have to do with other sects, so that it needs to be described as 'such courage'?"

This was also what she was most puzzled about, but True Person Wang didn't answer, just said indifferently, "He said so, why do you come to ask me?"

Ruan Ci was also speechless for a while, secretly looking at True Person Wang, suspecting that he had some dislike for Qu Qu Tan Yue, but she naturally didn't dare to ask it out. True Person Wang seemed to read her thoughts, drank a cup of tea, and complained, "This so-called husband of yours has too little courage, insufficient courage, and is indecisive. He doesn't do what he should do, but adds a lot of trouble to others."

He rarely criticized people like this. It seems that he really doesn't like Qu Qu Tan Yue. Ruan Ci asked carefully, "What is what he should do?"

True Person Wang didn't know what he thought of, the corners of his lips hooked. He was born romantic and handsome, but his status was too high, and he was always unsmiling on weekdays, cold as if rejecting people thousands of miles away. At this time, he smiled, his face became vivid, and his style increased, but his face was a bit mocking. He drank the remaining tea in the cup and said, "Ask him yourself next time we meet. It's just that I expect that he will not dare to see you easily for hundreds of years."

He and Qu Qu Tan Yue were just two incarnations, standing together in the blue sky for a short while, but it seemed that they had talked many times, and he knew Qu Qu Tan Yue's future whereabouts better than Ruan Ci. Ruan Ci was very puzzled, but didn't ask again, knowing that it was probably not something she could get involved in at this cultivation level. True Person Wang didn't explain the Wugou Sect matter again. Ruan Ci then explained all the things she saw in the Cold Rain Marsh one by one, except for the two things Mo Shenai told her, and there was no reservation.

Because she was puzzled and asked, "Master, do other Zhou Tians also have such dense protection as our Zhou Tian, whether it is others coming in, or we want to go out, it is almost impossible. And why is it certain that it is the Great Yu Zhou Tian people when someone invades? Thinking about it, there are countless Great Heavens in this universe, and even the Dongyang Dao Domain naturally has many Zhou Tians. Why didn't people come from other Great Heavens, only people from the Great Yu Zhou Tian want to come?"

True Person Wang said, "Other Zhou Tians will not come, only people from the Great Yu Zhou Tian want to come."

His words contained mysteries. Ruan Ci found it difficult to understand, and knew that it seemed inappropriate to ask again, but True Person Wang didn't tell her to shut up, and that line was not easy to grasp. Ruan Ci couldn't help but sink her face and pouted, "Master—"

True Person Wang smiled slightly and said, "If you want to know, then hurry up and form the Golden Core and Nascent Soul. Some things can only be understood when you reach that cultivation level. When you reach that time, it will be difficult not to know."

Every time they met, he urged her to practice, and never had a word of concern. Ruan Ci responded aggrievedly, thinking that it was no wonder she was not as respectful to True Person Wang as other disciples, and that True Person Wang was not as kind and loving as other teachers. It was fine if he didn't give spirit jade, and she hadn't heard a soft word.

In fact, she also knew that True Person Wang urged her to practice, probably for his own reasons. For example, the trip to the Cold Rain Marsh, if she didn't come, I'm afraid Ruan Rong would fall into the hands of the Great Yu Zhou Tian. What True Person Wang said 'a substitute, die if you die', in the end, every word he said, if she followed it, Ruan Ci would not suffer. It's just that reason is one thing, and mood is another. True Person Wang's treatment of her can't be said to be hot and cold, just cold and colder. Ruan Ci always missed him in her heart. This girl's heart that just opened, lingering, also inevitably aggrieved and unfair, with a trace of resentment.

She originally had many questions to ask, and many feelings she wanted to confide in True Person Wang. These words could naturally be said to Ruan Rong and Mo Shenai, but Ruan Ci's first choice was Master. That's why Ruan Ci was so happy when True Person Wang came to pick her up. But at this time, she was suddenly uninterested, thinking, "It's really inexplicable, and it's not that I was hit by an emotion seed. I don't know when it started, and for what reason, how did it slowly become like this."

She was very wary of Qu Qu Tan Yue, and always had many speculations, but I don't know why, she never doubted True Person Wang, feeling that this budding heart was given by him, or some kind of cultivation method or magic treasure. Probably because her heart was surging like this, it might add trouble to True Person Wang, so he avoided seeing her many times. Thinking about it, she was not a very good disciple, and he had to find a way to dispel this inappropriate emotion in her heart.

Thinking of this, she was about to get up and say goodbye, and didn't want to be so close anymore, just hoping to stay far away from him in the future, and not to see him again. She even suddenly had the idea of finding some pleasing servants to follow her, but as soon as this thought moved, she was stopped by True Person Wang, saying, "Where are you going?"

Tianlu also followed True Person Wang, looking at Ruan Ci curiously and puzzled. Ruan Ci said, "I'm going back to rest."

Originally, she had many things to ask about the Great Yu Zhou Tian, such as the white-haired youth's cultivation method, Zhong Shiliu's life and death, and even the power of the Zhouyou Kun and the freezing, but now she didn't care about anything, just thinking about returning to the mountain to go into seclusion. Although returning to the mountain is equivalent to returning to True Person Wang's inner landscape world, and she hasn't really moved away, but as long as it is in Ruan Ci's heart, staying far away from him is enough.

True Person Wang didn't know how much of this complex mood he saw through, but he didn't say a word, just turned his head to look at the horizon and said, "Qingshan is coming soon. She is going to go outside the sky to save her disciple. We all have to follow. This excitement, don't you want to follow me to see?"

His tone was still faint, without any tenderness. To say it was a retention was too far-fetched. If another female cultivator was here, she would be even more angry, but Ruan Ci was not an ordinary person, and she was very good at observing moods and best at guessing True Person Wang. All the grievances in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and her heart was infinitely happy for a while, and she almost wanted to rush into True Person Wang's arms. It was just that this was not the moment of reunion after a long separation, and she still had self-control, just smiled brightly at True Person Wang, her eyes were beautiful, and she was very coquettish.

True Person Wang acted as if he didn't see it, looked up and said 'It's coming', reached out and buckled Ruan Ci's wrist, unfolded her aura, wrapped her divine sense, and rushed into the sky. Sure enough, she saw a big star falling from the sky towards this place, and the aura had a trace of familiarity. It was True Person Qingshan, whom Ruan Ci had met once.

Updated. Sorry for the wait, everyone. See you next Wednesday!

This chapter actually, if ideal, should also make up for the arrival of Qingshan, and write until everyone sets off to return to the mountain. But I didn't sleep well the night before last, didn't write yesterday, and wrote the update this morning. I calculated the time and it was too late. This is the pain of having no stock. Fortunately, it broke here. I think True Person Wang's shareholders should be quite satisfied. I won't be beaten to death.

I hope to have at least 7 chapters of stock when I come back next week!

I will send red packets for this chapter~~~~~ See you next Wednesday!
