My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 25

After taking a few steps forward, Xu Zhiyi luckily managed to stop in time. Otherwise, she felt she would have ended up having negative-distance contact with Master.

That would truly be blasphemy. Sinful, sinful!

However, her foot had already committed the sin first.

Only then did Xu Zhiyi realize that she seemed to have stepped on Master’s boot. She could only laugh awkwardly and move her foot away.

“This disciple… did not mean to…”

Heavens, why did that sound even more intentional? If she had known, she would not have given that awkward laugh to ease the atmosphere.

Now it was even more awkward.

Feeling a slight pain in her heel, An Chengxi merely lowered her head and glanced at it. Sure enough, there was a mark on her boot.

She did not say anything.

She directly condensed a spell and lightly wiped over it. The mark on the boot immediately vanished.

“It is fine.”

“Master knows Yi’er did not do it on purpose.”

The immortal, graceful Master smiled faintly, and Xu Zhiyi instantly choked up. She pressed her lips tightly together. Why did she feel like there was murderous intent hidden in that smile?

The better Master treated her, the more panicked Xu Zhiyi became. She did not know how to describe it. It felt like a frog being slowly boiled in warm water!

She had to be careful of gentle knives!

Stay alert. Level-ten alert!

“The wound should heal after tonight. If it does not fully recover, come find Master.”

Before leaving, An Chengxi carefully reminded her again, afraid that Xu Zhiyi would be careless and touch her own wound.

“I understand. Master, take care.”

She finally left!

Xu Zhiyi almost set off firecrackers in her heart. Whenever Master stayed beside her, she always felt like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

She did not feel free at all.

She even felt that thinking about cursing in her heart was blaspheming Master.

Watching Master’s retreating back, Xu Zhiyi slipped back into her bedroom. Sitting in the room, she felt bored again, so she dug out the chest of storybooks the original owner had hoarded and read a few pages.

The content inside was actually quite explosive, and it caught Xu Zhiyi’s interest. She rolled over and read several more pages, full of enthusiasm.

But just as she was about to continue reading, rustling sounds came from beside her ears. Behind her bedroom was a garden.

It was usually cleaned and tended by outer disciples, nominal disciples, and servant disciples. Xu Zhiyi rarely wandered to the back of the courtyard.

During this period, she had been hiding in her room, secretly working hard.

But judging from the sound, it did not seem like the usual disciples. Instead, it sounded somewhat noisy. Then came a clatter, as if a flowerpot had shattered.

Could a thief have entered her Tingyun Residence?

No, that was not right. There were people guarding Shuanghan Peak from top to bottom. How could a thief possibly get in?

Xu Zhiyi rolled up her picture book, puzzled, and quietly pushed open the window with her finger, peering outside.

Through the broken line of sight between rows of bamboo, Xu Zhiyi saw two blurry figures tangled together.

Xu Zhiyi: “……?”

Could someone be having a secret meeting in her courtyard? In broad daylight, the morals of the world were truly declining!

But Xu Zhiyi had only glanced at the contents of her picture book before her mind somehow began making associations. Her mouth and heart sternly condemned it, but her ears were very honest.

She quietly leaned out again to eavesdrop.

“Fengyue!”

Xu Zhiyi: “!!!”

Wasn’t that the female lead’s name? Could it be that the person having an affair in her backyard was the female lead?

Had the male lead appeared? No, that was not right. The voice just now did not sound male. It sounded female.

Was it this exciting? Could it be that one of the male lead’s female supporting characters had come knocking? Was the scene of the mistress fighting the legal wife about to unfold before her very eyes?

She simply opened the window gap a little wider. Xu Zhiyi leaned almost half her body out, supporting herself against the window as she curiously watched.

“Xiao Ling, what madness are you throwing now?”

“Why are you shouting at me?”

He Fengyue’s hand was tightly gripped by Xiao Ling, so tightly that red marks appeared on her wrist. She bit her lip and struggled hard, but could not break free.

She glared hatefully at the person restraining her.

“What exactly do you want? This is my senior sister’s courtyard. Aren’t you afraid someone will see?”

“Xiao Ling, if you know what’s good for you, then let go of my hand!”

Xiao Ling’s face was cold as she refused to release He Fengyue’s wrist. She said coldly, “Why did Lord Hanshan not let you compete first, and instead sent Xu Zhiyi? Were you injured while training outside?”

“Where were you hurt?”

He Fengyue gave a soft, disdainful laugh and frowned as she looked at Xiao Ling, retorting sharply.

“What does that have to do with you?”

“Of course it has something to do with me, Fengyue.”

“You know that I…”

Unlike the way she had looked in the corridor earlier, Xiao Ling now seemed somewhat unable to control her emotions.

“I don’t know, Xiao Ling. Can you stop pestering me from now on? Your existence annoys me!”

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ling pulled hard and pressed He Fengyue against a tree. Feeling the rough bark behind her, He Fengyue became truly irritated.

What right did this woman Xiao Ling have to treat her like this? She was the eldest senior sister of Xiuyun Peak, not Xu Zhiyi. What right did she have to lecture her?

If Xu Zhiyi lectured her, that would at least be relying on her identity as eldest senior sister. But what right did Xiao Ling have?

“Because I care about you. I worry about you. Is that still not enough?”

“What is so good about Shangguan Rui? You don’t know this at all, but before he entered the sect, he already had two lovers.”

Was it this explosive?

Xu Zhiyi swallowed. It seemed she had heard something she should not have!

Shangguan Rui was the male lead’s name. However, so far, Xu Zhiyi had not seen him yet, nor was she curious. Staying farther away from the male and female leads was the only way to stay safe!

“Xiao Ling, you actually investigated him… I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Senior Brother Shangguan’s affairs…”

Her words were cut off again. He Fengyue felt heat on her lips, and Xiao Ling’s faint fragrance rushed straight into her nose. It was an indescribable feeling.

Her cheeks, which had originally been angry, instantly became scorching hot. She could no longer tell whether her face had flushed red from anger or from being taken advantage of like this.

Xiao Ling… just now… had actually kissed her!

He Fengyue pushed hard with both hands, finally making Xiao Ling stagger back a few steps. Immediately afterward came a slap across Xiao Ling’s cheek.

There was a clear, crisp smack.

Xu Zhiyi was so startled that her whole body jolted. Since half her body had already been leaning out the window, she lost her balance. Her body trembled slightly, and she braced herself against the window.

Then came a creak.

Both of them had excellent hearing and turned to look. They saw that the window had somehow been opened, and Xu Zhiyi was bent over, sprawled across the window.

It was over!!!

She had been caught red-handed eavesdropping. Xu Zhiyi hurriedly steadied herself and forcefully shrank back inside. With a snap, she shut the window.

During the whole process, she did not even blink.

As long as she did not make eye contact, she was not the most embarrassed one.

What kind of scene was this, ahhhhh!
