Chapter 568: Chapter 250: If Ming Zhengzhen is to give birth to a Sword Spirit, it must be sent to Qingmiao Palace to be nurtured into a female

After the Fire Phoenix Boat crossed the border of the Eastern Great Realm, the continuous drizzle of the Frostfall season had not yet stopped.

"This winter seems to be colder than previous years."

Pei Wanyu looked out the window, took a sip of warm wine, and casually said to Lu Jin’an, who was reading not far away, "Suitable for lying in bed and sleeping."

Lu Jin’an caught a trace of resentment in Pei Wanyu’s peripheral gaze; he could understand his master’s mood over the past few days.

That night, there was indeed a chance to capture his master’s Yuan Yin, but it was ’designed’ by Aunt Ruo to overtake him... Although the master didn’t know about this, it didn’t stop her heart from feeling regrets and wanting to try again.

However, Lu Jin’an had gone into seclusion for the past two days, not because he was unwilling, but because he was afraid Aunt Ruo might intercept him again.

Once could be covered up, but twice would arouse the master’s suspicion.

So he not only pretended not to notice the master’s hints but also nonchalantly refused Aunt Ruo’s sneaky moves—staying by the master’s side during the day, and then going to consult the sect master about cultivation issues by dusk.

Before finding a perfect setup or while Aunt Ruo was still around, he avoided close contact with his master.

He didn’t want it to be this troublesome either; but whether it was the master or Aunt Ruo, he couldn’t win against them, so without a way to assert a dominant attitude throughout, with his master wary of Aunt Ruo and Aunt Ruo possibly feeling guilty toward his master, he had to be cautious.

"Master." Lu Jin’an glanced at Pei Wanyu and said calmly, "I still think the war report by the sect master is somewhat exaggerated..."

Pei Wanyu gave him a sharp look and said somewhat petulantly, "Then you tell the sect master, does telling me have any use?"

"I did, but not only did the elder not listen, but he also forbade me from getting involved in this matter." Lu Jin’an said seriously, "You are the deputy sect master, could you help your disciple?"

"I have no time!" Pei Wanyu slammed the wine cup on the table heavily, "Handle your own affairs."

Lu Jin’an closed the book in his hand, "Then I’ll think of other ways."

After saying that, he bowed and walked out of the room.

Pei Wanyu turned her head to stare at him, "You still think I’m incapable of satisfying you, right?"

Lu Jin’an quickly replied, "I really don’t think that way..."

"Then what do you mean?" Pei Wanyu stepped forward, inching closer to him, "Not sleeping with me for a few days is one thing, but you won’t even stay on the Fire Phoenix Boat at night, it’s because you think once it starts it won’t be enjoyable, right?"

’I am really thinking of you,’

Lu Jin’an thought silently, but didn’t voice it, fearing it would only make his master overthink whether she was too ’weak’ in this aspect.

"I just want to seize the time for cultivation," Lu Jin’an said seriously, "trying to break through to the Second Realm of Tribulation Crossing within the remaining month of this year."

Pei Wanyu looked into his eyes, ready to say something when her good disciple suddenly reached out and gave two slaps.

She subconsciously covered her hips, let out a soft groan in pain, and swallowed the words back down.

"You..."

"Rebellious disciple, right," Lu Jin’an said with a cheerful smile, looking at Pei Wanyu, "so the master should listen to the disciple’s words and talk about it once back at Taichu Hall, isn’t the bed at Huangyu Palace more suitable?"

"You..."

"No refuting." Lu Jin’an interrupted Pei Wanyu again, "This time listen to your rebellious disciple."

Pei Wanyu opened her mouth, only to see Lu Jin’an suddenly approach and block her red lips, leaving with a remark of ’truly fragrant’ before floatingly exiting the room.

Pei Wanyu froze for a few seconds, lifted her right hand to lightly touch her tender red lips, a trace of smile flashing in her eyes.

Hmm, considering this ’rebellious disciple’, let’s overlook it for the few days on the way back.

’If I wasn’t worried about retracing your older sister’s path, I’d have pinned you to the bed long ago.’

Pei Wanyu scoffed softly, turned back to the table, sat down, and continued sipping her little drink. After getting a promise, it seemed the wine tasted much better.

After a few small cups, she took out a piece of fabric and began to cut it.

······

Just as Lu Jin’an was about to push open the door and walk out of the boat cabin, Xiao Yinruo stepped out from the bedroom; he immediately vigilantly opened the door and walked under the eaves.

Xiao Yinruo silently followed him out, her voice as cold as ever, "Going to train with Sect Master Zheng again?"

"Mm."

"Can’t Aunt teach you?" Xiao Yinruo softly said, "You can use Sword Intent of the Broken Realm Realm in your Domain, but it is ultimately form without spirit.

Aunt’s Sword Dao, though only in the fourth level of the Origin Realm, is more than adequate to teach you to truly enter the Broken Realm Realm."

"Though, only in?" Lu Jin’an teased, "Origin Realm is already high enough, it seems not all of the Ten Great Sword Immortals have crossed into the ultimate ’Heaven Sword Realm’, right?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"To me, it is indeed ’only in’." Xiao Yinruo turned to look at him, "Don’t you want to learn?"

"That also depends on my enlightenment in the Sword Dao, doesn’t it? Even a Sword Immortal’s apprentice may not necessarily become a Sword Immortal, right?"

"You can," Xiao Yinruo said lightly, "You can already use it in your Domain, soon you will be able to truly use it."

"I don’t cultivate the Forget Love Swordsmanship either..."

"Are you afraid that during Aunt’s teaching, you’d end up teaching Aunt a few techniques instead?" Xiao Yinruo transmitted her voice.

Lu Jin’an dazedly looked at Xiao Yinruo’s profile, Shoot, the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace really couldn’t go back... she even started talking dirty!

He breathed out softly and asked in return, "Would you really not do that?"

Xiao Yinruo was silent for a few seconds, "Perhaps... I would?"

Lu Jin’an smiled quietly, thinking, after she broke the long-held innocence, she seemed to have a bit of endless pursuit.
