Chapter 25: How to talk about love

He had experienced too many things today, and the water temperature in the wooden barrel was too comfortable, which made Li Ran slip up.

As a result, his tongue really slipped!

“Are you saying that you went on a date with the Sect Master?” Aqin’s face filled with endless question marks as she suspected that she had misheard.

“Ah, this…” Li Ran’s eyes turned. “I meant that the Sect Master had summoned me for a meeting, or an appointment in short. It’s not like what you think.”

He wiped his cold sweat.

This explanation was far-fetched, and no normal person would believe it.

However, Aqin believed him and she suddenly said, “So it’s like this! Sheng Zi, you scared me. I thought it was a kind of date between men and women.”

“……”

Li Ran awkwardly replied, “How would that be possible…”

“Sect Master hadn’t been close to men for hundreds of years and had forbidden her disciples to fall in love. How could she go on a date with a disciple? As expected, I thought too much.” Aqin patted her head.

Not only did she believe him, she even helped him find excuses.

The corner of Li Ran’s mouth tugged. “Yeah… Haha…”

Other than Aqin, no one would believe such a lame reason…

Although Li Ran knew that even if he told her about this matter, she would never spread it.

But he still had to keep it a secret. Because this was an agreement between him and Leng Wuyan.

“I have to be more careful in the future. If someone else were to hear it, it won’t be easy to explain.”

Demon Peak.

Deacon Wang took a deep breath as she arrived in front of the Sect Master’s bedchamber.

“Strange, why did Sect Master summon me during the middle of the night? I haven’t made any mistakes lately either.” She walked to the door and pressed the door nervously.

Creak

The door was unlocked, revealing a gap.

Deacon Wang took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Leng Wuyan was sitting on a chair, her right hand supporting her chin. Her eyes were unfocused as if she was in a daze.

A wisp of hair hung down from her ear, blocking her fair and delicate profile.

Deacon Wang couldn’t help being stunned.

The Sect Master really is beautiful!

“It’s a shame that such an iconic beauty is not interested in men…” Deacon Wang sighed inwardly.

“Disciple has come to see Sect Master. May I ask the reason why the Sect Master has summoned me this late at night?” she said respectfully.

Leng Wuyan snapped back to her senses and said, “I’ve encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently. I think it’s because I don’t understand worldly affairs enough. In order to improve my understanding of the Dao, there are a few small questions that I wanted to ask you. I hope you can answer them frankly.”

Deacon Wang hurriedly said, “If it’s about the Sect Master’s cultivation, I’ll do my best to help with anything!”

“Very good.” Leng Wuyan nodded. “Do you remember what I asked you last time?”

Deacon Wang thought for a moment. “The talk about love?”

“Cough, cough, no, It’s regarding the method to see through the mortal world!” Leng Wuyan corrected herself.

“Last time, you said that dating, listening to music, eating candy figurines… Other than that? What else can be done by two people in a relationship?”

“Sleeping together.” Deacon Wang gave the standard answer.

Leng Wuyan glared at her. “I’m not talking about the carnal relationship. It’s about how the emotion between the two partners can be further cultivated and enhance the relationship.”

“Still sleeping together.” Deacon Wang was certain. “This kind of interaction is the best way to increase the feelings of both of them.”

“……”

“Is there anything else besides this?” Leng Wuyan was about to lose her temper.

Deacon Wang thought for a moment. “Sect Master is saying that they’ve already had a date and the relationship has been growing, but they haven’t arrived on the stage to sleep together yet?”

“That’s what I meant.” Leng Wuyan nodded.

“They should start with holding hands,” Deacon Wang replied.

“Holding hands?”

“Yes, this situation meant they should already have physical contact. Start by holding hands, then hugs and kisses. This represents different stages of love.”

Leng Wuyan blushed.

She and Li Ran had eaten the same candy figurine, so was that counted as an indirect kiss…?

“I got it. You go rest.”

“Yes, Sect Master. I hope you can break the bottleneck as soon as possible.” Deacon Wang withdrew.

She walked out of the bedroom and scratched her head in confusion.

Recently, she felt that the Sect Master was getting more and more strange. Is understanding such a problem really for cultivation?

“Could it be…”

“The Sect Master is investigating relationships in order to pinpoint disciples who are engaged in romantic affairs?”

“This must be it!” Deacon Wang concluded.

“Sigh, it looks like I can’t take a peek at Sheng Zi anymore…” She walked down the mountain dejectedly.

In her concept, Leng Wuyan’s absolutely insular to a relationship, so she didn’t even think in that direction at all.

In the room, Leng Wuyan took out a notebook and wrote down what Deacon Wang had said seriously.

Under ‘Dating, listening to music, eating Candy figurine’, she continually wrote ‘Hold hands, hugs, kisses.

We should start with holding hands, right?

But what should I do?

If I took the initiative, I would seem too unreserved…

Under the gleaming candlelight, her pretty face was as red as an apple.
