After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 309 – 309 Building a Path in the Open, Crossing It in Secret

309 Building a Path in the Open, Crossing It in Secret

The next morning, the sky had just brightened.

Xu Ping stood at the door of her disciple's courtyard.

In the courtyard, there were a few neat and exquisite rows of spirit plants, all of which were of some precious species. Because of a night of neglect, they looked a little bit haggard, and the bluestone floor was covered with a layer of frost.

Xu Ping was not in the mood to pay attention to this. She stared at the room in the courtyard and stood still. She felt an inexplicable uneasiness and did not dare to probe with her spiritual sense.

As a mighty figure at the summit of the Form Synthesis stage, it was hard to find a worthy opponent in the world. At this moment, she was particularly afraid of facing her former lover.

“How did I escape… It's so embarrassing.” Xu Ping was a little upset about his escape last night, not only because she was showing weakness, but also because her disciple might have heard the conversation and seen her running away.

But fortunately… She and the Feiyan did not have that kind of relationship.

Otherwise, she really did not know what to do.

“Whew…” Elder Xu prepared herself mentally for a long time. When the sky gradually brightened and the frost on the ground had evaporated, he finally mustered the courage to walk into the inner room, pretending to be calm as he pushed the door open and entered.

The door was gently pushed open, and it was quiet inside.

Xu Ping's eyes moved away from the wall and fell onto the futon on the ground. With her keen senses, she could detect that the position of the futon was slightly different from the one she saw yesterday. However, such a small detail only flashed through her mind and did not cause her to be surprised.

Next to the futon was the bed. The quilt was a little messy, rolled up into a ball, and the bed sheet was the same.

Xu Ping could not help but smile. This child had forgotten to pay attention to her all these years. She had never been in this room again. Why was her sleeping posture as bad as when she was a child?

Although she already looked like a dignified girl in the eyes of her Junior Brothers and Sisters, she was still the child who would pull on her skirt and cry.

She shifted her gaze to the other side. There were tables and chairs, and on the table, there was a small copper incense burner with the head of a beast. A wisp of smoke was rising from it, emitting a light and elegant fragrance that enveloped the entire room.

The sound of water came from behind the screen, and the vague figure paused. “Is it you, Master?”

Xu Ping was stunned. Was Feiyan taking a bath?

That's right, the Fire Awarding Ceremony was just around the corner, so he should be burning incense and taking a bath.

But what surprised her was that after such a thing happened last night, her own disciple could still continue to do her own things in such an orderly and calm way, and had prepared everything that should be prepared.

Xu Ping felt a little ashamed. She had thought that Feiyan was still the child from back then, but now she found that she was not as calm as this child… It seemed that his disciple had really grown up.

“Yes, Feiyan…” Xu Ping walked over, hesitated, and asked with a red face, “Jun… Where's Liu Yuan?”

Wei Feiyan's voice was a little hoarser than usual. She said respectfully in a low voice, “Master, after you left, he hurriedly followed you.”

“What?” Xu Ping was stunned, and her heart tightened. “He hasn't come back yet?”

Wei Feiyan pressed her body against the wall of the bucket and looked at the water. She replied, “Yes.”

Xu Ping said anxiously, “What's with this mess?! Didn't you stop him? He was in the Mythical Flame Sect and his cultivation was not even 10 percent of what it used to be. He was also severely injured. If he was discovered by your Junior Sister or the other Elders, the consequences would be unimaginable! I-I-I…”

Elder Xu was so anxious that she did not even know what to do. She even stammered ‘I' three times. One could only imagine how anxious she was.

“I tried to persuade him, but he said that he couldn't put his mind at ease and that he had to go after you,” Wei Feiyan said.

When Xu Ping heard this, her eyes were already a little wet. She turned and rushed out of the door, turning into a rainbow light again.

The room was silent.

After a long time.

Gush…

Liu Yuan silently emerged from the water and looked at the nervous Wei Feiyan. They both heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, Liu Yuan was not afraid.

“It's all your fault. I was almost discovered by Master. When I was expelled from the sect, you would have been beheaded,” Wei Feiyan rebuked with a straight face.

“You're thinking too much,” Liu Yuan said seriously. “If something really happened, there's a high chance that your master will be disheartened and kill us both. In the end, I would have died for love.”

“Don't ask me how I know,” he added.

“Who's going to die with you?!” Wei Feiyan gently pushed him, then pursed her lips and said seriously, “Master will be sad if you lie to her like this.”

Liu Yuan sighed and said, “I'll go to your Master and apologize later… Isn't this a convenient strategy? If I don't let her lose her sense of propriety because she's worried about me, I can't talk to you properly now.”

Wei Feiyan felt a little sour in his heart. This bastard had her Master completely under his thumb. Her Master's reaction was exactly as he had predicted. From another perspective, Liu Yuan knew Xu Ping better than she did.

She urged, “Quickly get out! I still need to take a bath. I haven't even washed myself clean from the mess you caused just now. How can I participate in the Fire Awarding Ceremony like this?”

Liu Yuan was speechless. “You're already one of my people. This is the greatest blasphemy to the entire Mythical Flame Sect. Why are you still being so particular now…”

Wei Feiyan's cheeks were red, but he said with a straight face, “If you continue to waste time, what if a Junior Sister comes to find me?”

“That's just in time. We can shower together,” Liu Yuan said without hesitation.

Wei Feiyan, “… you scumbag!”

Liu Yuan, the scumbag, was driven out of the bath barrel by his newly-seduced little lover.

He felt that he was in the wrong and wanted to kiss her again, but Wei Feiyan's temper was still there. She refused with a cold face, so he had to put on his clothes resentfully and disguise himself with the Mirror Moon Jade. Then he went out to find Xu Ping.

There was an opening ceremony for the Fire Awarding Ceremony, and the official fight would begin tomorrow, so there was no rush.

Liu Yuan sighed as he walked on the road. “When we first met, she was still trembling with fear. Now that we're together, she's become so bold. She's just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she dares to reject me. Is this what a woman is like?”

The relationship between the two was quite strange. It could be said that they got on the bus before buying the ticket. This did not exist in their past experience, but there was a sense of freshness in their relationship.

The Master was on the bright side, while the other disciple was on the dark side.

Liu Yuan really wanted to see what her disciple, who had already sneaked away, would do in front of her Master in the following days…

Wei Feiyan patted her chest, her heart still pounding. She had just driven Liu Yuan out in her anger. If it was another man of the same cultivation, she would not have been able to do so in this world where strength was respected.

She reached out for the bathtub and stood up with some difficulty. When her eyes touched the screen, she found that her undergarments were gone.

Wei Feiyan was stunned for a moment. She was both amused and angry. She frowned and worried. There was still the Fire Awarding Ceremony later…
