Chapter 489

Abbess Dingyi was already calculating how many disciples would return to secular life after returning to Hengshan.

After a brief glance at their expressions,

the conclusion she reached was not optimistic.

Her face turned even darker.

Night fell.

The Hengshan disciples had gone through a great battle,

and were all somewhat exhausted,

dispersing to rest.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Yilin, who was following closely behind him,

and said with a smile to Abbess Dingyi:

"Abbess, I have some matters I wish to discuss with Yilin privately. Would that be alright?"

Abbess Dingyi sighed deeply,

knowing she couldn't stop it.

She had no choice but to agree.

However, when Gu Hanyuan took Yilin away,

she still said sternly to Yilin's back:

"Yilin, do not break your vows before returning to secular life."

These words nearly sank Yilin.

Her already blushing face

had a tendency to spread to her smooth little head.

Gu Hanyuan brought Yilin to a secluded spot,

and reached out to gently stroke her round little head.

He felt the texture was excellent,

like a piece of warm, fine jade.

Yilin had fantasized about such a scene back in Hengyang City.

Now that it had truly come to pass,

she shyly wanted to dodge but was also reluctant.

In the end, she could only obediently let Gu Hanyuan stroke her.

The light in her eyes overflowed even more intensely.

Gu Hanyuan's gentle voice sounded by Yilin's ear:

"Little Sister Yilin, have you missed me?"

Yilin blushed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"I have."

Gu Hanyuan reached out and pinched her chin,

not giving her a chance to escape.

He looked straight into Yilin's clear, beautiful eyes

and asked warmly:

"Then why haven't you spoken to me?"

Yilin's eyes darted away,

feeling her face and heart growing hotter.

She said shyly:

"Master said I should stay away from Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan gave a light laugh.

"Why?"

Yilin said with some grievance:

"Because Brother Gu will ruin my cultivation."

She also wanted to talk more with Gu Hanyuan,

but the master's orders were hard to disobey.

She could only endure the longing in her heart.

Gu Hanyuan leaned into her ear and asked softly:

"Then who is more important, Master or Brother Gu?"

Yilin was stimulated by Gu Hanyuan's breath

and gave a start.

She still responded in a small voice:

"Both are very important."

Gu Hanyuan kissed Yilin's smooth, round head,

and asked with a smile in his eyes:

"Think about it again?"

Yilin was a bit dazed.

When she realized what he meant,

her face exploded into a deep red that spread upwards.

The spot where Gu Hanyuan had kissed her was even burning hot.

She muttered shyly:

"Brother Gu..."

Gu Hanyuan said playfully:

"Yilin, Brother Gu wants to see your prayer beads."

"Prayer beads? I didn't bring any."

Yilin was confused.

"These prayer beads."

Gu Hanyuan explained to Yilin.

Yilin covered her mouth, nearly crying out in surprise,

and said quietly with some resistance:

"Brother Gu, that won't do."

Gu Hanyuan said with a tone of temptation:

"Brother Gu wants to borrow your prayer beads for a moment, is that alright?"

Although Yilin didn't want to refuse Gu Hanyuan,

thinking of what Abbess Dingyi had said,

she still said with difficulty:

"But Master said I cannot break my vows."

Gu Hanyuan gave a light laugh.
