Chen Mo stared blankly at Ye Henshui.
He never expected this girl to have such guts, daring to make such a move in front of Ji Lianxing!
"Hmm..."
"Holy Daughter, it seems not quite like what you said..."
Ye Henshui bit her lip lightly, her body slightly trembling, pain evident between her brows.
"Take a deep breath, the pain is normal... Hmm?"
Seeing her pale face, Gu Manzhi realized something was wrong, checked her attentively, and her expression stiffened slightly, "Junior sister, you seem to have missed the mark..."
???
Question marks filled Ye Henshui’s face.
"I say..."
"Have you two had enough?"
Ji Lianxing’s deep voice resounded: "As core disciples, the sect had high expectations of you, yet you commit such disgraceful acts with a man... Truly disappointing for your teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Henshui’s face turned even paler.
Gu Manzhi remained unfazed and said calmly, "Isn’t this what the master wanted to see?"
Ji Lianxing frowned and said, "When have I ever made you debase yourselves like this?"
Gu Manzhi shook her head and said, "Master had me lurk in the Imperial Music Bureau, and I did, for two and a half years... This place is inherently filthy and sordid, committing disgraceful acts is normal, isn’t it?"
"..."
Ji Lianxing was momentarily speechless, unsure how to retort.
Actually, deep within her heart, she felt guilty towards Gu Manzhi...
In terms of cultivation talent, Gu Manzhi was not inferior to those top Heavenly Prides, her path to immortality was bright, yet she had to sell laughter in this place of debauchery for the sect’s "revenge plan," entertaining those wretched men...
"Are you blaming your teacher?"
"Disciple wouldn’t dare."
Gu Manzhi looked directly at Ji Lianxing, her tone tinged with self-mockery, "However, when the master first learned of my relationship with Chen Mo, you weren’t this angry, even gifted me many cultivation techniques, intending for me to use my body to keep Chen Mo tightly bound..."
"To the master, I am but a tool to be used."
"The reason for your anger now isn’t that you think I degrade myself, but that you see I have no use left... Isn’t it?"
Ji Lianxing’s pupils slightly trembled.
She never expected her most cherished protege would say such words!
"I taught you the cultivation method, raised you to adulthood, yet you think I only used you?" Ji Lianxing’s chest heaved, feeling a bout of suffocation.
"I too don’t want to think this way, but the master has become increasingly unfamiliar to me."
