Chapter 115: Just Be a Master (Part Five)

Yeah, it’s all good.

Shen Xitang returned to Lu Ye’s body, transforming into a meticulous and pure System.

As for Shangguan Huanling, the System really didn’t want to deal with her.

Because she worried that this thing would lower her IQ; she finally got clever and didn’t want to go back to being silly.

Shangguan Huanling knocked on the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

…

Uh, seems like no one’s home.

She let out a sigh of relief; perfect timing for them to be out, so she went back.

Shangguan Huanling headed back.

“What are you all talking about in there?”

Sun Ruowei had quietly followed all the way and ended up seeing Shangguan Huanling knocking on Lu Ye’s door, but it didn’t open.

She thought she was going to witness some juicy gossip, but instead, she got nothing.

Unable to hold back, she popped her head out and stopped Shangguan Huanling to ask.

“Yue Hongling said Lu Ye found a super duper gorgeous woman, and I came to see what she’s like.”

“Yue Hongling likes Lu Ye? Does Bai Qiulan like Lu Ye too? Do you like Lu Ye? Why do you all like Lu Ye? What’s so special about Lu Ye?”

A rapid-fire series of questions came out.

You could tell that Sun Ruowei was really thirsty for drama.

“Yeah, we all used to like Lu Ye…”

Bai Qiulan came out with a dark expression, looking somewhat helplessly at Sun Ruowei.

“Eat less gossip, it’ll bring you a lot more joy.”

Sun Ruowei gritted her teeth.

“If I don’t gossip, I’ll die!”

Bai Qiulan…

She pulled Shangguan Huanling into the barrier.

Sun Ruowei couldn’t help but scratch her head, pacing back and forth.

So annoying!!!

“So, did you see that woman?” Bai Qiulan eagerly asked.

“No!”

“No one paid you any mind?”

Shangguan Huanling didn’t know how to respond, “Maybe she’s just not home…”

“I’m going to check it out!”

Bai Qiulan couldn’t take it anymore and made her way to Lu Ye’s place.

Just as Sun Ruowei moved slightly, a layer of frost immediately froze her in place.

Sun Ruowei roared inside, Bai Qiulan, if I don’t get revenge for this, I swear I, Sun Ruowei, will never be a person again!

Once I learn everything, if I don’t embarrass you to death, I’m not Sun! Ruowei!

Bai Qiulan arrived at the door.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself.

Knock.

The door opened.

A stunningly beautiful face appeared in front of Bai Qiulan; even though Yue Hongling had described Shen Xitang as incredibly beautiful, seeing her in person was still hard to prepare for – it was simply breathtaking.

Is there really such a perfect person in the world?

Shen Xitang looked Bai Qiulan up and down, her gaze particularly resting on Bai Qiulan’s chest, a thoughtful glint flickering in her eyes.

“I’ve met Master. I’m Shen Xitang.”

Shen Xitang respectfully offered a disciple’s salute.

Bai Qiulan frowned, stepped aside, unwilling to accept the gesture.

“I’m not your Master, and you’re not my disciple. No need for that kind of courtesy.” Bai Qiulan stated seriously.

Shen Xitang chuckled lightly.

“Master is joking. I’m currently with brother, and we are in love; he will certainly be my Dao Companion in the future. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since Master is brother’s Master, you should also be my Master, so you can fully bear this courtesy.”

“But you’re not Lu Ye’s Dao Companion!”

Bai Qiulan’s expression turned serious.

Shen Xitang’s face revealed a hint of oddness.

“Why can’t I understand what Master is saying? In the vast Nine Heavens, I’ve never heard of a Master controlling their disciple’s search for a Dao Companion.”

“Does Master not think that her possessiveness over her disciple is too high?”

Bai Qiulan raised an eyebrow, her voice already tinged with anger.

“A teacher for a day is a father for life. As Master, it’s only right I can manage my disciple’s search for their Dao Companion!”

“That’s what you say, but I’m saying you’re not allowed!”

Shen Xitang blinked innocently.

“If Master disagrees, then please point out why. Rest assured, I’ll change.”

Why disagree?

Bai Qiulan examined Shen Xitang, trying to find any faults.

But the more she looked, the more startled she became. Faults?

Where are the faults?

How can there be such a perfect woman in this world?

“What’s your background?” Bai Qiulan asked.

“I’m the daughter of the Grand Dao Sect’s sect leader; my lineage is pure.”

Grand Dao Sect?

It’s indeed a prestigious sect, only second to the top five sects and considered a first-rate force in the wasteland.

She had heard occasionally that the Grand Dao Sect’s leader had a daughter, doted on her to the moon and back, and rarely let her show her face, fearing she’d get taken by some rogue cultivator.

Pure lineage.

“What’s your strength?” Bai Qiulan inquired.

“Reporting to Master, I have just entered the Unity of Dao Realm, not as strong as Master, who has reached the seventh level.”

“But Lu Ye has just entered Unity of Dao too; our realms are similar.”

Bai Qiulan carefully sensed and indeed felt the aura of Unity of Dao on Shen Xitang.

Pure background, similar cultivation level…

Where else could she pick a fight?

“Master, I and your disciple being together as Dao Companions is truly a match made in heaven. If Master insists on disagreeing, could there be some hidden reason?”

Bai Qiulan gritted her teeth, her face expressionless.

“Disciple has found a good match; Master should feel delighted, not obstructive.”

“Master is Master, and disciple is disciple. Disciple respects Master, and Master protects disciple; this is the principle of teacher-disciple relations. If Master can’t find a single fault with Xiang, then I ask Master to bless us.”

Blessing…

“The propriety between teacher and disciple cannot be neglected; I kindly ask Master to remember that you are Master and only be Master!”

Bai Qiulan took a step back.

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard against her heart.

Just be Master.

Yes, Yue Hongling can still arrive as a rival in love, face off against this woman.

What identity does she have now coming in front of her?

Right now, she only has the identity of a Master.

There’s no longer any identity like in her previous life of a noblewoman, to control what kind of Dao Companion Lu Ye seeks.

To just be a Master, only a Master.

Isn’t this exactly what she’s longed for?

But now, Shen Xitang’s emphasis on the word “Master” completely trapped her in that position.

You want to just be Master, then let’s make sure that’s all you think about!

Besides being Master, forget about anything else.

Facing her, Shen Xitang didn’t carry the same attitude as she did against Yue Hongling, going all out attacking.

Instead, she was using the teacher-disciple path, carving her and Lu Ye apart with a dull knife, bloodily and firmly!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

At that moment, the Grand Dao Bell rang.

“The allied forces of foreign races are invading; all strong persons of the Grand Dao Sect, prepare for battle!”

Lu Ye opened his eyes at that moment.

Pain was thick in his gaze.

It’s finally here!
