183: Chapter 183: The Arrogant Master, Being Flirted With Online

Yun Qingwan's Immortal Cave, Xiao Yuan had visited a few times.

But today, standing at the entrance, he inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the Restriction.

"Come in." Yun Qingwan's voice came from inside, as cold and detached as ever, carrying no discernible emotion.

Xiao Yuan pushed the door open and entered.

The Immortal Cave was not large, and its layout was simple yet elegant.

A Pill Furnace, a shelf of book scrolls, and a jade bed.

Yun Qingwan sat cross-legged on a futon, dressed in a moon-white long dress, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, her brows and eyes cold and detached.

She held a Jade Slip in her hand, her gaze falling upon it as if she were deeply engrossed in reading.

When Xiao Yuan came in, she didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Revered Master." Xiao Yuan bowed.

"Mn." Yun Qingwan acknowledged with a sound and continued reading the Jade Slip.

Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry either, standing there and waiting.

How should he put it regarding himself and this Revered Master? They were familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar! They didn't speak much...

Therefore, Xiao Yuan inevitably felt a bit nervous at this moment!

The Immortal Cave was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the flames dancing inside the Pill Furnace.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Yun Qingwan finally put down the Jade Slip and looked up at him.

That gaze was cold, detached, and indifferent, as if she were looking at an unrelated person. But Xiao Yuan noticed that her fingers holding the Jade Slip tightened slightly.

"You're here?" she asked.

Xiao Yuan nodded: "With Revered Master summoning, how would this Disciple dare not come."

At this moment, seeing that Yun Qingwan was even more nervous than he was while putting on a nonchalant facade on the surface, that nervousness in his heart inexplicably vanished!

No matter how formidable Revered Master was, she... was ultimately a woman, nothing to be afraid of!

The corners of Yun Qingwan's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to smile but held it back. Clearly, her Disciple's glib tongue amused her!

"Sit." She pointed to the opposite futon.

Xiao Yuan sat down, looking at his own Revered Master, secretly finding it funny in his heart.

He was far too familiar with this appearance of Yun Qingwan.

Clearly having something on her mind, yet deliberately pretending nothing was wrong; clearly wanting to say something, yet deliberately pretending she didn't want to speak.

Ever since she took him in as a Disciple outside the Secret Realm back then, it had always been this tune.

"Did Revered Master call this Disciple over because there are any instructions?" He spoke up proactively.

Yun Qingwan was silent for a moment.

"The matter of the Peak Revered Master reaching the Nascent Soul... I know about it." She finally spoke, her voice a few shades lower than usual.

Xiao Yuan nodded: "The Peak Revered Master is gifted with extraordinary talent, and reaching the Nascent Soul is a matter of sooner or later."

Yun Qingwan glanced at him, that gaze clearly saying: Cut the crap.

"I heard... it was you who helped the Peak Revered Master stabilize her cultivation?"

"This Disciple only exerted a meager effort." Xiao Yuan wore a modest expression.

The corners of Yun Qingwan's mouth twitched.

Exerted a meager effort? Staying in the Peak Revered Master's Immortal Cave for over a month, and the Peak Revered Master went from Golden Core Peak to Nascent Soul, and you call that a meager effort?

She took a deep breath and decided not to beat around the bush.

"That Cultivation Technique..." She paused, her voice even lower, "Is it really effective?"

Xiao Yuan blinked: "Which Cultivation Technique is Revered Master referring to?"

Yun Qingwan glared at him.

Xiao Yuan immediately behaved: "Effective, extremely effective. The Peak Revered Master is the best example."

Appropriate banter was fine, but going too far was as bad as falling short!

Yun Qingwan stopped talking again. She lowered her head to look at the Jade Slip in her hand, her fingers unconsciously rubbing against it.

Xiao Yuan looked at her, finding it amusing in his heart.

Revered Master, oh Revered Master, you've already called me over, and you're still putting on airs here?

"Revered Master," he said softly, "Do you also want to..."

"Want what?" Yun Qingwan suddenly looked up, her voice raising a few notches, "This Eminence didn't think about anything!"

Xiao Yuan held back a smile: "This Disciple hasn't finished speaking yet."

Yun Qingwan's face flushed red, and she turned her face away.

Watching his own Revered Master's shy and vexed appearance, Xiao Yuan felt utterly delighted inside.

As a dignified Golden Core Elder, she didn't even blink when facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet right now she was acting like a little girl.

"Revered Master," he leaned forward a bit, "This Disciple has an immature little suggestion."

Yun Qingwan didn't turn back: "Speak."

"You've been stuck at the Mid Golden Core Stage Peak for quite a while now, how about... this Disciple helps you stabilize it?"

Yun Qingwan abruptly turned her head and glared at him: "Stabilize what? This Eminence's cultivation is very stable!"

Xiao Yuan wore an innocent expression: "This Disciple didn't mention cultivation."

Yun Qingwan: "..."

She took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and felt that calling this brat over today was a mistake.

"You may leave." She pointed at the door, "This Eminence wants to Cultivate."

At this moment, she had already begun to waver. Even though she had built up her psychological defenses many times, when matters came to a head, she... was still somewhat afraid!

Xiao Yuan didn't move, looking at her with a smiling expression.

Yun Qingwan felt completely uncomfortable being looked at by him: "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at Revered Master." Xiao Yuan said righteously.

Yun Qingwan's face grew even redder: "What's so good to look at!"

"Good-looking." Xiao Yuan said earnestly, "Revered Master is the best-looking one in all of Dan Peak."

Yun Qingwan was stunned.

Having lived for so many years, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this.

"Audacious!" She put on a stern face, feigning Life Qi, "Do you know who you are talking to?"

She felt that this Disciple of hers was becoming more and more audacious! Yet she... inexplicably produced a sense of thrill that even she couldn't understand.

"I know, Revered Master." Xiao Yuan remained smiling, "My Revered Master, the best-looking one in all of Dan Peak."

Yun Qingwan opened her mouth, wanting to reprimand him, only to find her voice stuck in her throat and unable to come out. In her heart, a sense of joy inexplicably welled up!

Xiao Yuan stood up and walked up in front of her.

Yun Qingwan subconsciously leaned backward: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuan squatted down, looking at her eye-to-eye: "Revered Master, did you call this Disciple here truly just to ask about the Cultivation Technique?"

Yun Qingwan turned her face away: "Otherwise what?"

"Then this Disciple tells you, the Cultivation Technique is effective, extremely effective." Xiao Yuan paused, "If Revered Master has no other business, this Disciple will take leave first?"

He made a motion to get up.

Yun Qingwan grabbed his sleeve. She suddenly felt a bit flustered; if she missed this time, next time... would she still have this courage?!

Also, would this brat...

Xiao Yuan lowered his head, looking at the hand she was using to grab his sleeve.

Yun Qingwan also discovered this and quickly let go, her face already red to the roots of her ears.

"That..." Her voice was as small as a mosquito's hum, "Regarding the Cultivation Technique... This Eminence wants to understand a bit more."

Xiao Yuan squatted back down and looked at her.

Yun Qingwan couldn't lift her head from being looked at by him, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "It's just... the specific... methods to Cultivate..."

Xiao Yuan held back his smile and said with a straight face: "Since Revered Master wants to understand, this Disciple will naturally tell everything he knows."

He pulled a Jade Slip from his bosom and handed it over with both hands: "This is the detailed content of the Cultivation Technique, Revered Master can take a look first."

Yun Qingwan took the Jade Slip and probed her Divine Sense into it.

A moment later, she abruptly withdrew her Divine Sense, and the Jade Slip almost dropped to the ground.

"This... this..." Her voice was trembling.

Xiao Yuan wore an innocent expression: "What's wrong, Revered Master?"

Yun Qingwan glared at him, her gaze shy and vexed, wishing she could devour him alive.

Xiao Yuan felt his heart crawl with being glared at, and just as he was preparing to say something to ease the atmosphere, Yun Qingwan suddenly shoved the Jade Slip into his bosom.

"This Eminence won't look at this." Her voice was so small it was almost inaudible, "You... you teach directly."
