"I-I’ll think about it some more..."

"There’s only one chance; once you miss it, it’s gone."

Thinking back to the critical moment, that decisive figure, and that strong, reassuring embrace... Ye Henshui’s heart inexplicably sped up.

If that really were the case, it wouldn’t be too bad, would it?

"Are you sure Master will agree?"

"I don’t know either..."

"Agree to what?"

Just then, a slightly hoarse, magnetic voice sounded.

Their bodies suddenly went stiff, and slowly they turned their heads to see a graceful figure materialize out of thin air.

"Ma-Master?!"

The woman wore a half golden mask, her lips were bright red, and her purple-black eyes resembled two burning fires.

She was draped in a robe of black gauze and red silk, with a dark gold scale waist cincher accentuating her slender waist and the alluring curves of her hips, tempting like a ripe peach.

"What were you talking about just now?" Ji Lianxing asked curiously.

"No-nothing." Gu Manzhi, her throat somewhat dry, stood up and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

In the past, to avoid attracting Yu Youhan’s attention, Ji Lianxing rarely ventured into Central State, let alone enter the city so openly.

Ji Lianxing said, "As your Master, I’m here in the Capital City to handle some matters, and I’m stopping by to see you. Recently, the court is implementing new policies; the city is a mix of people, so there’s no worry about exposing our presence."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui secretly exchanged a glance, cold sweat forming on their backs.

If the conversation just now was heard by Master, the consequences would be unimaginable!

But luckily, Master didn’t show any signs of abnormality, so she probably didn’t hear...

"Master, please have a seat." Ye Henshui stood up.

"Hmm."

Ji Lianxing sat in the chair, lifted her eyes toward Gu Manzhi, and inquired, "How is your relationship with Chen Mo progressing? Have you been diligently practicing the cultivation techniques I gave you?"

Gu Manzhi bowed her head and replied, "Everything is going smoothly, Master."

"That’s good." Ji Lianxing sighed softly, "I know you feel aggrieved, but now that things have progressed to this point, there can be no retreat; Chen Mo holds extraordinary significance for our sect... Ah, it pains me for you."

Gu Manzhi spoke softly, "This is what a disciple should do."

"By the way, do you know where Chen Mo is now?" Ji Lianxing asked.
