Looking at the familiar, magnificent hall before him, Mo Tianxiao stood for a long time. Unpleasant memories echoed in his mind, and his master's face, so close at hand, seemed to forcefully drill into his head once again.
"Senior Brother? What's wrong?"
Nangong Wan, standing beside him, saw her senior brother staring blankly. She reached out her fair little hand and waved it in front of his eyes, looking at him curiously.
"It's nothing. Let's go in, we shouldn't keep Master waiting."
Mo Tianxiao shook his head and stepped inside.
"Senior Brother seems a bit weird today," Nangong Wan muttered softly, following closely behind him into the great hall.
Upon entering the hall, the two discovered that besides their master, there were two other figures present.
A woman whose beauty rivaled that of Yue Liuli sat beside her. Dressed in a pale cyan flowing immortal dress, she exuded an otherworldly tranquility. Her long hair cascaded down, her eyebrows were like spring mountains painted with dark ink, her eyes rippled like autumn waters, and her skin was as smooth and fair as mutton-fat jade.
Seeing this person, Mo Tianxiao couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.
This woman could truly be described as a fairy. It wasn't just her peerless appearance, but the first impression she gave—an ethereal, immortal aura that made her seem unlike any mortal beauty.
When he snapped back to reality and turned to look at the person standing next to this woman, Mo Tianxiao's expression instantly froze. His heart skipped a beat, and a profound sense of dread washed over him.
Did this crazy woman actually come all the way here to complain about him?!
Right now, Mo Tianxiao only wanted to flee this place.
At this moment, Su Muxue was also staring at the incoming Mo Tianxiao with a profound look in her eyes. Seeing his shocked expression in particular caused the corners of her mouth to uncontrollably curl upward.
Lecher. She had told him that the matter from back then wouldn't end so simply.
"Master!"
Mo Tianxiao could only feign composure as he and Nangong Wan cupped their hands and bowed to Yue Liuli.
"You're here."
Seeing Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan, Yue Liuli took a sip of wine and then introduced them to the woman beside her. "These two are my personal disciples, Tianxiao and Wan'er. This is the Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, and the Young Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace."
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan hastily cupped their hands toward the woman beside their master. "Greetings, Senior."
Then, he looked at Su Muxue beside her and nodded. "Fellow Daoist Su, long time no see."
"Is this the little one who possesses the Immortal Bone and obtained the legacy of the Void Emperor? She is truly beautiful."
Su Muyao, the current Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, looked at Nangong Wan. A flash of delight passed through her eyes, as if she was very fond of the girl.
"Wan'er, right? Would you like to join my Jade Pool Heavenly Palace? You can use all the cultivation resources as you please, and I will personally guide your cultivation every day. I guarantee you will be able to prove your Dao and become an Emperor. How about it?"
Su Muyao looked Nangong Wan up and down, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She was even brazenly poaching a disciple right in front of Yue Liuli.
As for Mo Tianxiao standing to the side, she didn't even spare him a single glance.
"Thank you for your profound affection, Senior, but Wan'er feels that the Demon Sect is very good. Master and Senior Brother treat me very well. I will not leave the Demon Sect."
Nangong Wan's tone was firm, and she refused without a shred of hesitation. To her present self, this place known as the Demon Sect was her home.
"Refusing so decisively? What a pity."
Su Muyao shook her head in regret. She then turned her gaze to Mo Tianxiao, her expression instantly calming down. "What was your name again? Mo, Mo... Forget it, your name isn't important. You shouldn't have a Dao Companion yet, right?"
Seeing that the other party couldn't even remember his name, the corners of Mo Tianxiao's mouth twitched slightly. Was there really a need for such blatant differential treatment? Whatever happened to gender equality?
"Senior, this junior is named Mo Tianxiao."
Mo Tianxiao couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
"What you're called isn't important. Since you don't have a Dao Companion, and my younger sister Muxue also doesn't have a Dao Companion, you two make a perfect pair."
Su Muyao didn't care at all what Mo Tianxiao's name was. She simply wanted to find an excuse to frequently visit the Demon Sect as a guest in the future.
She could perfectly utilize her younger sister for this by finding her a Dao Companion, preventing her from running outside every day, adventuring everywhere, and getting deceived.
Hearing these words, Mo Tianxiao looked completely bewildered. What was the situation? They were delivering a wife to his doorstep?
Su Muxue, who was originally secretly laughing at the deflated Mo Tianxiao, instantly froze upon hearing her sister's words.
"No way!"
Three different voices rang out simultaneously.
They belonged to Yue Liuli, Nangong Wan, and Su Muxue.
"Hmm?"
A huge question mark popped up in Su Muyao's mind. She looked at the three of them, her expression instantly turning solemn. Her gaze fell back onto Mo Tianxiao as she muttered softly, "So they are romantic rivals..."
"Why are you all so anxious? Can't we listen to the person's own opinion?"
Su Muyao seemed unwilling to give up just yet. Looking at the overwhelmed Mo Tianxiao, she continued to press, "Mo... Tianxiao? What do you think? My sister is so beautiful and is the heir to the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. If she becomes your Dao Companion, you would gain a lot of face, you know."
"Sister! Stop talking!"
Standing to the side, Su Muxue's face flushed bright red, and her eyes became somewhat panicked.
This topic reminded her of the slap Mo Tianxiao gave her three years ago, instantly stirring up strange feelings in her heart. How could she possibly become Dao Companions with this lecher?! It was impossible even to consider.
The bewildered Mo Tianxiao subconsciously glanced at Su Muxue standing beside Su Muyao.
She was wearing a plain white dress today. With her small face flushed red and her shy, anxious demeanor, she lacked her usual heroic spirit and looked more like a girl next door.
If her personality could be a bit gentler, having her as a wife didn't seem entirely out of the question.
Just as Mo Tianxiao was indulging in his fantasies, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an endless ice cave. The gazes of all four women had landed on him.
"Senior Brother?"
Nangong Wan, beside him, called out to him directly, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Hiss..."
His junior sister's worried look, Su Muyao's expectant gaze, Su Muxue's embarrassed and angry expression, and... his master's icy eyes instantly jolted him awake.
"This junior thanks Senior for the kind intentions, but Fellow Daoist Su and I are both still young. This is the age to strive, so we should focus on our cultivation."
Mo Tianxiao decisively and politely declined.
He had a premonition that if he dared to nod in agreement, he might be hacked into minced meat in the next second. As for who would do the hacking, he wasn't entirely sure.
When one lacked absolute strength, one must maintain rationality at all times and absolutely must not be tempted by the beauty before them.
Hearing Mo Tianxiao's refusal, Nangong Wan's initially worried eyes instantly became somewhat joyous.
Yue Liuli simply took another sip of wine, her eyes returning to a calm state, appearing as if nothing had changed.
Su Muxue also breathed a slight sigh of relief, the blush on her face fading a bit. If he had agreed, she wouldn't have known what to do. After all, once her sister truly decided on something, she usually wouldn't consider whether she agreed or not.
However, for some unknown reason, after he refused, she felt a slight sense of emptiness in her heart.
"To actually be rejected twice in the same day... As expected of Sister Liuli's disciple, he is truly just like you."
Su Muyao turned to look at Yue Liuli beside her, a hint of grievance in her eyes. Being rejected time and time again made her recall all the scenes of being ruthlessly turned down by her over the years, even though she liked her Sister Liuli so much...
