?
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.
So when the Daoist Venerable asked for his "help," this is what he meant?
Speaking of which, now as a Second-grade Grandmaster, he has to help the Daoist Venerable enhance his cultivation, and when he breaks through to First Grade, he still has to undergo Dual Cultivation with the Empress...
So he really has become just an experience tool?
"What, you don’t want to?" Ji Hongxiu saw he wasn’t responding and furrowed her brows, saying, "If you’re worried about Yu Youhan causing trouble for you, then just pretend I never said anything. It’s not like I must have Dual Cultivation anyway..."
"The Daoist Venerable misunderstood, of course I am willing." Chen Mo rubbed his chin with his fingers and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about what position would be most efficient for cultivation."
"..."
Ji Hongxiu’s face turned a few shades redder, she turned her head and spat, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m doing all this just for Qingxuan."
At this point, she paused and continued, "Once I’ve completely freed myself from the cost of the Heavenly Dao, I won’t get involved in matters between you anymore."
Chen Mo frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
Ji Hongxiu seemed somewhat guilty, not daring to look in his eyes, "Qingxuan will marry into the Chen Family sooner or later, and I am her mentor. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a mother for life. Both emotionally and rationally, I should keep my distance from you, and not engage in such underhanded things..."
During this period, she had also seriously thought about the relationship among the three of them.
Although Qingxuan outwardly accepted it, it indeed contradicted the norms. If this matter spread, how would the world perceive them as mentor and disciple? How would they view the Tianshu Pavilion?
How should the two of them face themselves?
Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, Ji Hongxiu knew clearly that this abnormal relationship was not destined to last.
In this case, it would be better to decisively end it, to avoid a major disaster.
Chen Mo realized what was going on and said with amusement, "No wonder you suddenly said you wanted Dual Cultivation with me, turns out you want to go wild one last time before I get married?"
These words sounded a bit rough, but to some extent, they were also a true reflection of her inner thoughts.
"Enhancing cultivation is true, being reluctant to let you go is also true."
Ji Hongxiu’s fingers tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling slightly, "If I were just Ji Hongxiu, I could naturally ignore the rules of the world, but in reality, I also bear the thousand-year legacy of the Tianshu Pavilion, some things are not just as you wish..."
Chen Mo fell silent.
A moment later, he asked, "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"
"Once everything has settled, I’ll return to the sect to seclude myself in meditation, comprehend the Great Dao, and no longer engage in worldly affairs."
Ji Hongxiu sensed his low mood, her heart also growing more sour, she said in a low voice, "I once told you, before my master passed away, there was a prophecy: ’When the disciple holds the Cause, and the master assumes the Effect, the day of reversing Yin and Yang will be the time of Karma’s reformation... Perhaps one day when I truly comprehend the Karma Path, I can completely let go of this responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s expression became a bit peculiar, "If you say it like that, then you might not be able to leave me at all."
