CHAPTER 603: CHAPTER 259 "I AM PROBABLY A BAD WOMAN." _2

Zhu Nanzhi felt like laughing, but the smile she forced out was stiff and awkward.

Should she praise her husband?

Of course she should, after all, even someone like Master has fallen for her husband.

But should she accept Master’s candid silence?

Should she?

Zhu Nanzhi couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.

She could understand Qingyue, and she could understand her husband’s feelings for Aunt Pei, but she couldn’t understand Master’s actions.

Weren’t you the number one on the Forget Love Path in the world?

Weren’t you supposed to walk the ’Worldly Responsibility’ Forget Love Path?

Why do something like Empathy?

And of all people, your disciple’s husband!

Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?

With the husband of a disciple (daughter)...

Zhu Nanzhi started laughing but then couldn’t laugh anymore, a shade of gloom settled between her brows.

"May I... may the disciple look at your left arm?"

Zhu Nanzhi’s eyelids lowered slightly, and her voice carried a tremor.

Xiao Yinruo rolled up her sleeve, revealing a red mole on the crook of her arm to Zhu Nanzhi’s sight.

Looking at this virginity mark, Zhu Nanzhi felt a strange sense of relief inside.

So, Master merely ’Empathized’ with Qingyue and didn’t do anything else outrageous.

Which meant that her husband might not even know about this.

Zhu Nanzhi remained silent, and after a while, spoke softly, asking not why.

"Have you ever considered your disciple’s feelings?"

Listening to Zhu Nanzhi’s voice, Xiao Yinruo, who was silent for a while, slowly returned to normal: "Because I considered you, that’s why I didn’t tell you..."

Her voice paused, not speaking the words "I didn’t expect you to hear about it."

No need.

"Will doing this allow you to Breakthrough!?" Zhu Nanzhi raised her voice by several decibels and questioned.

"I am currently in the stage of Divine Concealment."

Xiao Yinruo lowered her eyelids slightly, not lying.

Because starting from ’Empathy’, resulted in today’s entry into Divine Concealment.

Zhu Nanzhi’s expression was momentarily stunned, breaking through to Divine Concealment related to ’Empathy’!?

What kind of logic is this?

Your Forget Love Path is different from mine, why did you break through because of ’Empathy’???

This is unreasonable!

Zhu Nanzhi opened her mouth, hesitating to decide not to entangle this issue further.

"So, you’re saying you won’t be ’Empathizing’ anymore, right?"

"I won’t." Xiao Yinruo answered briskly: "I’ve also withdrawn the ’Empathy’ Technique from Qingyue."

No wonder there was nothing to wait for last night...

Turns out there was no more ’Empathy’.

But luckily, she didn’t leave directly, or she wouldn’t have gained so much information.

"Aren’t you ashamed?" Zhu Nanzhi looked directly into Xiao Yinruo’s almond eyes, her body leaning slightly forward as if to press: "That is my husband, ever since childhood, I always called you ’mother’."

This was Zhu Nanzhi’s prepared alternative, or perhaps another layer of insurance.

Ethics.

In this moment, Zhu Nanzhi felt a bit fortunate, grateful that Master wasn’t someone from the Demon Path, but rather the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace.

With Master Xiao Yinruo guarding the Northern Territory of the Human Clan and being irreproachable in both major and minor matters, she could provide this layer of assurance.

Because a gentleman can be deceived with righteousness.

Zhu Nanzhi really didn’t want to go this far with Master, but how long has it been since Master met her husband?

Besides, is Master’s behavior simply out of emptiness and loneliness, or does she have feelings for her husband?

"You won’t take away my son-in-law, right?"

Zhu Nanzhi looked at Master’s chest rising and falling due to rapid breathing, a hint of obscurity flashed at the bottom of her sky-blue eyes, wondering how her wild imaginations had come true?

But fortunately...her husband doesn’t know.

At this thought, Zhu Nanzhi couldn’t help but smile, but in Xiao Yinruo’s eyes, the smile seemed incredibly gloomy.

Clearly, this child is naturally beautiful...

But the reason for her laughing like this sits right across from her.

Xiao Yinruo sighed softly, about to speak, when Zhu Nanzhi asked: "Master, you won’t tell my husband about this, right?

After all, how can such a thing be spoken aloud, right?"

In Zhu Nanzhi’s view, the so-called ’Empathy Technique’ was a way to bring her husband into bed while he was asleep.

From beginning to end, only the person performing the Empathy Technique knew they were doing something against morals!

Xiao Yinruo looked at Zhu Nanzhi’s eager expression and spoke softly: "Unless Master loses her mind, would I do such a thing?"

Zhu Nanzhi’s heart relaxed, Master indeed cared about her face and wouldn’t expose such a thing openly to the sun.

Otherwise, in the future, if the chronicles of Qingmiao Palace recorded that Palace Master Xiao stole the disciple’s husband, how unpleasant that would be!

"Master, you’re doing this for Qingmiao Domain, right?" Zhu Nanzhi continued, her gaze deep: "To breakthrough to Divine Concealment to resist the Northern Spirit Clan, you adopted this method, right?"

She wanted to define this matter.

Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips together and nodded gently, her initial intention indeed was this.

Zhu Nanzhi smiled faintly: "Your objective has been achieved."

Xiao Yinruo didn’t speak, though she broke through to Divine Concealment, it’s just at the early stage.

Zhu Nanzhi slowly stood up: "I don’t want my husband to have his reputation tarnished because of this.

Although you were ’Empathizing’, who knows how others might perceive it?"

"Was it the wife’s Master or the wife’s adoptive mother who coaxed?" Zhu Nanzhi continued on her own: "No matter which interpretation, it would mock the Saint Heir of Wandao Sect as someone with an extremely promiscuous personal life.

Aunt Pei and Qingyue are different, they are demons, but you and I are humans, still the Palace Master and Holy Daughter of Qingmiao Palace."

"What do people see Qingmiao Palace as a sect?" Zhu Nanzhi took a deep breath: "Surely you don’t want Qingmiao Palace to become a topic like the Joyful Union Sect among others, right?"

Zhu Nanzhi looked at her otherwise quiet Master, who has been silent since broaching this topic, her lips moved a few times before saying, "This matter, your disciple can pretend not to know," and then turned to leave Cuiqing Inn.

There was a doubt in her heart.

Did Master secretly Empathize with this disciple last night?

She wanted to ask, but in the end, she chose not to, and she didn’t want to know.

She didn’t know if she would lose her composure if she asked.

After all, this is a topic where Master has clearly broken through to Divine Concealment but still consequently doing such a thing.

Zhu Nanzhi dared not imagine that she might get angry after asking this question.

Because Master did have a nurturing grace towards her.

But just because of this, you can’t bully her...

Zhu Nanzhi bit her lips tightly, with an urgent feeling in her heart.

Even if Master did ’Empathize’ with her, she wouldn’t know, after all, the gap in power was placed there.

What if someone even stronger does this to husband in the future?

Can I... protect my husband’s body?

Cultivation, strength, that’s the way to protect my husband’s body!

Her brows furrowed with a hint of gloom, her heart intertwining anxiety and panic.

’Why, why is everyone eyeing this handsome man...’

Zhu Nanzhi gritted her teeth, suddenly looking towards Two Realms Pass direction, if it weren’t for external enemies, the significance of Wandao Sect wouldn’t be so great...

She stepped away, while inside, Xiao Yinruo sat in a daze staring at the concluded chess game on the chessboard.

Her body felt cold, her chest ached as though suffocating, and her heartbeat seemed to throb painfully.

It was merely that Nanzhi knew about ’Empathy’...

When Nanzhi spoke of it in person, the guilt surged within her heart, spreading across her entire chest.

Xiao Yinruo knew she should feel guilty, and she must be guilty, because this matter indeed was her wrongdoing.

But, but...

She knew it was wrong to do this, but...

Xiao Yinruo folded her legs tightly under the table, her right hand on the table dropping to her knees.

She couldn’t help but close her eyes, her breathing slightly erratic.

Why, why does it feel like this?

This kind of feeling should only arise when the body feels pleasure, right?

But clearly, she’s feeling guilty towards Nanzhi!

Why is it like this!?

Xiao Yinruo bit her lower lip lightly, reopening her eyes, her almond eyes filled with a faint mist.

"I must be a... bad woman."
