Chapter 539: The Body Speaks Too Truthfully
============================================================
As the melody faded, its lingering echoes filled the chamber. Those present remained transfixed for a long while, especially Chu Youwei!
【Hehe, what do you think? Though I haven't practiced deliberately, I can still pull off a song or two~】
【Given Chu Youwei's talent, this single piece should suffice. Judging by her expression, she seems utterly captivated, doesn't she?】
【Heh, I bet she learned this back when she was trying to win over that Empress. Had to sell her charms to get her to send troops. What was that bitch's name again…】
【Seriously, it's amazing Xiao Ai could come up with such a scheme—making her master use her looks to seduce a woman…】
Ye Qinghan: Holy shit, what a bombshell!
Who could possibly be worth having my master seduce them?
If she were strong enough, would the Master come seduce her…?
How exactly would the Master seduce her…
Ye Qinghan's fox-like mind was now filled with scenes unsuitable for minors, but to Su Cheng, Ye Qinghan looked no different from the others, completely absorbed in the music.
"Youwei thanks you, Master. Please have some tea."
Su Cheng smiled, flicked his hand, and the Yunxianqin flew away, landing on a nearby table. He then accepted the tea offered by Chu Youwei.
"It's no trouble. Since you enjoy it, I can offer some guidance. However, my knowledge of music is merely superficial. My instruction may be limited, so you must diligently study on your own."
Chu Youwei: You call this just scratching the surface?
Chu Youwei could guarantee that in her two thousand years of experience, she had never encountered a master as profoundly skilled in music as hers!
A single piece of battle music could immerse an entire room in an enchanted trance, captivating them to the point of losing themselves!
If such mastery of the zither was merely scratching the surface, then surely no one else in this world dared claim true expertise!
Yet, by some twist of fate, Su Cheng's performance had indeed solidified Chu Youwei's resolve to learn the zither.
Observing how deeply absorbed her master appeared while playing, Chu Youwei surmised he must cherish music deeply. If she mastered it, wouldn't she then have the chance to play for him?
But comparing her master's compositions to her own…
It seemed she would need to practice diligently for quite some time before she could play for her master. And then there were those occasional mistakes she had made just now…
Sigh… Master probably didn't call her out on it. But to say Master didn't notice? That was utterly impossible, right?
But she'd only played that piece once. It was only natural she wasn't proficient yet. It wasn't as if she'd deliberately tried to make noise…
"Yuwei will remember Master's teachings."
"There's no teaching involved. I was simply in a good mood today. I'm genuinely pleased you've found a hobby you enjoy."
"Huh? A hobby?" Whoa… Did Master misunderstand something? A hobby? She only wanted to learn to play for Master. Besides Master, she loved nothing else.
Su Cheng: "Hm? Did I say something wrong?"
But since Master had spoken, and she'd already decided to practice anyway: "No, Master. Youwei will work hard."
Su Cheng smiled and decided not to disturb Chu Youwei's practice any further. He led everyone away. Along the way, the two sycophants, Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao, fawned over him nonstop.
Li Shiyao especially threw every newly learned four-character idiom she knew at the Master.
However, it was clear she hadn't fully grasped their meaning yet. Many phrases fell flat, like "borrowing light through a hole in the wall"…
"Qinghan, accompany me into the hall."
"Yes." Ye Qinghan's face was filled with reverence, but inside, he was overjoyed!
Cang Jue had just finished attending to the master last night and hadn't even had a chance to rest properly yet!
As for Yu Lan? That scrawny weakling didn't even weigh two ounces on the scale—her master had surely grown tired of him!
This overwhelming fortune was now hers for the taking!
Ye Qinghan thought to herself: Chu Youwei dressed so scantily, failing to seduce the Master—now she'd just handed the advantage to her!
"Yu Lan, brew a pot of tea for Qinghan and me. Use the leaves Xiao Ai brought last time—that batch."
Yu Lan hesitated for a moment but nodded obediently before heading off to brew the tea.
Ye Qinghan's back no longer ached, her legs no longer felt heavy. The mere thought of dual cultivation filled her with boundless energy!
With heart blossoming with joy, she followed her master into the Main Hall of Lingxian Hall. Inside the Main Hall?
Ye Qinghan had dual cultivation with her master here before, but doing it in broad daylight while her fellow disciples were outside still made her feel a bit shy.
But since the Master had spoken, it didn't matter whether it was in the Main Hall or even in the courtyard—it was all the same~
Her persona has long been that of a sly fox—she never pretended to be some innocent little flower. She just wanted to practice dual cultivation with her master and never hid it!
But clearly, she'd miscalculated.
"Qinghan, sit down."
Just as Ye Qinghan was about to undress, she heard her master tell her to sit down…
"What about it? Isn't Master going to play games with Qinghan anymore?"
Ye Qinghan spoke while her hands busied themselves, eagerly beginning to undo her clothes…
"Hey hey hey, Qinghan, wait a moment! You misunderstood—I meant for you to sit down…"
"No, no, put your clothes back on first. I'm not that kind of master. Hey hey hey, I'm not…"
Ye Qinghan froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. She straddled her master's lap: "Not taking off clothes? Playing while dressed? Fine, Qinghan belongs to Master. Qinghan will play with Master then~"
Su Cheng scrambled to his feet. This was absolutely not right!
His direct First Disciple was truly… desperate…
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Su Cheng scrambled to pull away. This was only the second time since ascending to the position of Supreme Master that a woman had forced him into retreat…
The first time was with the deity known as the Goddess of Destiny—the woman who could see the future and foresee every one of Su Cheng's plans.
"Qinghan, I summoned you because there are things I wish to discuss."
Hearing this, Ye Qinghan watched her master slip away like an eel and pouted, "Well then, what does Master wish to say?"
Though Ye Qinghan wouldn't get angry with her master, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She sat down on the nearby chair, looking sullen.
Seeing Ye Qinghan's expression, Su Cheng couldn't help but try to placate her first: "Alright, I'll leave the door open for you tonight."
At those words, Ye Qinghan's fox ears instantly shot up from the top of her head!
"Hehe, whatever task Master assigns, Qinghan promises to complete it!"
【You little rascal… I really have no idea how to deal with you…】
"Master merely wishes to ask Qinghan: Do you know why all the other disciples possess cultivation techniques, yet you alone have nothing?"
Ye Qinghan froze, then answered honestly.
"Qinghan has never pondered such matters. Since Master has not bestowed one upon me, it must be for a reason. Qinghan will simply focus on fulfilling his duties."
【Damn it, just as I thought. This guy's thought process is truly bizarre.】
【Does this kid have nothing else on his mind besides devouring me?】
"Hmm, I know. Qinghan is usually quite sensible."
Ye Qinghan: Hehe~ She's a fox demon, right? Can you blame her? She just wants to get frisky with her master and do all sorts of shameless things! What's wrong with that? Besides, is this even something she can control? Her body craves her master's affection!
