Chapter 230

Lu Xingzhou's current state was mentally exhausted. Not long after eating breakfast, he leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep again.

Ye Tinglan sat by the bed to accompany him, and seeing the slight sweat on his forehead, she took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Ye Tinglan wouldn't be able to do this kind of action when Lu Xingzhou was awake.

But when he was asleep, she did it much more naturally.

If there were others around, they would find the Sacred Master's eyes very strange, with a kind of protective desire of a big sister taking gentle care, and a kind of love of a mature woman seeing a little handsome man, her eyes even a little bright and shining.

This thing should never have appeared on the Heavenly Jade Sacred Master who had cultivated for decades... perhaps only Yuan Muyu would feel the sister's similar heart: Now you know why I wanted him to have broken legs; it's not too late for you to break them now.

The communication jade talisman vibrated slightly. Ye Tinglan connected, and Elder Su Yuan's voice soon came: "Sect Master, I have arrived at the Shadow Moon Sect. Si Han said you and Young Master Lu have left?"

"We haven't left. Do as instructed before, the plan remains unchanged. As long as I am still here, there shouldn't be any trouble. If there are any changes, contact me in time."

"Yes." Su Yuan sighed: "Extending our tentacles to other countries, I suddenly feel that the world is wide. Our vision was a bit small before; after all, we have been entangled with the Great Qian for so many years, and our eyes were naturally limited. The Sacred Master's move can be considered a crucial step, and I think Gu Zhanting will be on pins and needles even more in the future."

Ye Tinglan's gaze fell on Lu Xingzhou's pale face, and she said softly: "That's not my credit."

The gentleness of that voice made Su Yuan shiver, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Ye Tinglan said: "We can support Si Han to gradually make the Royal Court more worthy of the name, but this time we cannot create another Gu family dominance; we need checks and balances. Next, you must also support the Listening Snow Pavilion as a check within the Heavenly Frost country; you must not let Si Han clear away all hostile forces."

"Yes."

"In addition, Si Han has also colluded with the demonic Ice Prison Sect. You arrange for people to investigate this matter. Even if you can't cut off their demonic wings, you must bring this matter to the light. Under pressure, Si Han will have to draw a line with the demonic path."

Su Yuan said: "The Young Master has been investigating the demonic path for a long time. I don't know if it has any connection with the Ice Prison Sect."

"There are many demonic paths, and they may not all be related. Theoretically, the demonic path Qingli is investigating is with the Yama Hall, and logically it should be the type that wants to overthrow the Royal Court. Hmm... you should also contact Qingli and exchange information; maybe there really is a connection."

"Yes." Su Yuan actually felt a bit strange in his heart. Why don't you contact your disciple yourself? Even if it's just to care about the disciple's current situation, asking about her well-being should be appropriate, why let me contact her...

Ye Tinglan ended the call and curled her lips imperceptibly.

She didn't know why she was avoiding Qingli either. Lu Xingzhou was just one of her disciples. If she had a clear conscience, why avoid her?

But what if she had a guilty conscience?

Looking at Lu Xingzhou sleeping against the head of the bed, Ye Tinglan bit her lower lip and unconsciously reached out to gently stroke his face.

Really good-looking.

Lu Xingzhou, you're killing people...

Her heart, which was originally like a calm lake, had a stone thrown into it, and the ripples were hard to calm.

Suddenly seeing Lu Xingzhou's eyelashes tremble, Ye Tinglan retracted her hand like an electric shock. When Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes, what he saw was the Master sitting upright, meditating beside him.

"How is the Master's own injury?" Lu Xingzhou's weak voice sounded.

Ye Tinglan said: "No problem, it was just some minor internal injuries. How are you?"

"Sleeping and waking up, mentally exhausted." Lu Xingzhou played the pitiful card again: "Master, please help guide the soul medicine power again..."

This sounded like he wanted to ask for the kind of "sticking together" from yesterday.

Actually, Ye Tinglan knew that the medicinal power had already melted, and there was no point in guiding it again at this time, but she couldn't suppress the ripples in her heart, so she stepped onto the steps and leaned her forehead over: "Don't move, be honest."

That voice was gentle and lingering, numb and itchy, and it was another close-up sticking, with fragrance blowing in her face. Lu Xingzhou's heart swayed, and his hands couldn't help but want to wrap around her again.

Ye Tinglan had long been prepared and pressed down on his hands, smiling but not smiling, saying in a low voice: "The little thing always wants to move his hands and feet, can I still let you take advantage of me?"

Lu Xingzhou held his face. Who is taking advantage of whom now?

This is clearly a big sister playing with a little milk dog.

But the soul sea sent a light rain again, as if spring had warmed the earth, and flowers were blooming everywhere. That kind of comfort really made people feel like they were floating, and Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but hum softly.

That kind of sound was very similar to the joyful sound Ye Tinglan heard when she eavesdropped on him and Shen Tang being shameless.

Ye Tinglan bit her lower lip, her cheeks burning hot.

What exactly is happening now... is she really helping him nourish his soul?

Pressing his hands with both of hers like this, foreheads against each other, she herself was also lying firmly on him.

She finally became a little more rational, separated her forehead, supported herself with both hands, and saw Lu Xingzhou's eyes filled with desire, yet pitifully unable to move.

Ye Tinglan suddenly felt a bit happy in her heart. Does this count as the attacker and defender changing positions? Those who take advantage of others are often taken advantage of themselves.

Seeing Lu Xingzhou's pitiful look, Ye Tinglan couldn't help but reach out to pick his chin: "You only know how to be lecherous all day long, you're not honest even when you're injured like this."

Lu Xingzhou said: "I'm already injured like this, Master, won't you give me a reward..."

The reward had already been given, it was gone.

Ye Tinglan hummed in her heart: "Didn't I let you hug me yesterday? What other reward do you want?"

"Let me hug you again?"

"Get lost."

But although she said "get lost," the hands she had just released forgot to press down again, and his hands had already naturally wrapped around her waist.

This time, Ye Tinglan didn't even have that electric-shock-like stiffness. Instead, she leaned into his ear, her voice seductive, with a hint of threat: "Are you satisfied? Let go, or I'll hit you."
