292: Chapter 292 is so embarrassing!

At this very moment, Master Shen Xi's face, usually as cold and aloof as a fairy's, betrayed a trace of shock and shyness.

She widened her eyes, staring at the rebellious disciple before her who dared to address her by name, and her heart couldn't help but ripple with waves of emotion.

"How could this rebellious disciple be so bold! To actually dare to say he likes me... how can this be? We are master and disciple, how can..."

Hearing Ye Xuan's blunt words, Master Shen Xi's heart began to race, her once tranquil state of mind instantly shattered.

She tried hard to maintain her dignity as his master.

But faced with the gentleness and sincerity in Ye Xuan's eyes, she felt an unprecedented panic.

"You detestable Pretty Boy!"

Her heart raced uncontrollably, and a seductive blush spread across her cheeks, making her look even more charming and alluring.

At this moment, Master Shen Xi was no longer the aloof, high-and-mighty master; instead, she resembled a young girl who had fallen in love for the first time, completely at a loss.

"Master, I knew it. You must have me in your heart."

Ye Xuan gazed unblinkingly at Master Shen Xi's beautiful, lovely face, an endless surge of adoration rising in his heart.

He held Master Shen Xi tightly, as if he were embracing the entire world.

Feeling the softness of Master Shen Xi's delicate body and gazing at her slightly flushed, flawless, fairy-like face, Ye Xuan felt that he must have saved the entire world in a past life to have earned the chance to meet and know her in this one.

"Rebellious disciple, hurry... hurry up and let me go!"

After being held by Ye Xuan for a full quarter of an hour, Master Shen Xi glared at him with her beautiful eyes, though the look was more like that of a coquettish fairy.

She struggled slightly, trying to break free from Ye Xuan's embrace and sit up.

"I won't let go. Even if you strike me dead with one palm, Master, I will never let go! After all, if I let go now, you'll definitely ignore me in the future!"

Ye Xuan sensed that his master wasn't actually angry, and his courage grew. He firmly refused to release his hands from around Master Shen Xi's slender waist, fearing she might leave him.

"Rebellious disciple, do you even remember that you are my disciple? Is there any other disciple in this world who treats their master like this?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's shameless words, Master Shen Xi kept her beautiful eyes widened, staring daggers at him. Her exquisite, flawless face was filled with indignation as she pressed him, demanding an answer.

"There is! Isn't that me?" Faced with Master Shen Xi's questioning, Ye Xuan fully demonstrated just how thick-skinned he was.

His expression didn't change, his heartbeat remained steady, and he responded to Master Shen Xi with complete composure, even playfully winking his deep, star-like eyes at her.

"Are you going to let go? See if I don't tear that Pretty Boy face of yours to shreds!"

Looking at the detestable expression on Ye Xuan's face, Master Shen Xi's anger flared. She reached out and pinched his handsome cheeks hard, hoping to force him to release his grip on her.

"Master, as long as it helps you vent your anger, I don't mind if you beat this Pretty Boy face of mine into a pig's head, just like Qingluan did."

Ye Xuan gazed ardently at Master Shen Xi's pouting, seductive red lips. Far from resisting, he leaned forward, offering his fair, delicate cheeks to be pinched by her soft, slender hands.

Although his master's pinching hurt, Ye Xuan felt a sweet sensation in his heart.

"You—you lawless, rebellious disciple! I must have been blind to have taken in such an insubordinate disciple as you!"

Master Shen Xi was so angry that her chest heaved, her beautiful eyes blazing with fire as she glared at the disciple before her.

She couldn't fathom how she had ever accepted such a troublemaker as her disciple in the first place!

This rebellious disciple seemed to see right through her, knowing all her weaknesses and soft spots. He provoked her time and again, leaving her completely defenseless.

Could it be that he truly had her wrapped around his finger? The more Master Shen Xi thought about it, the angrier she became, yet she felt completely helpless.

She simply shut her mouth and stopped struggling, allowing Ye Xuan to hold her tightly.

Struggling was useless anyway, and it might just provoke this rebellious disciple further.

Master Shen Xi thought to herself that she might as well give up resisting.

She even pulled down the white veil she had been wearing, revealing her breathtakingly beautiful face. She didn't want the rebellious disciple to pull it off again and cause further trouble.

However, this was exactly what Ye Xuan wanted. He stared straight at Master Shen Xi with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to etch her beauty into his heart forever.

The feeling was truly wonderful, and Ye Xuan even wished that time could stop, allowing him to gaze at her like this forever.

An hour passed, and Master Shen Xi finally couldn't help but raise her head, her fair, exquisite face turned toward Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with helplessness. "How long do you intend to hold me?" she asked, her voice tinged with indignation.

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth: "Until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until the end of time, I will never let you go, Master!"

His gaze was firm and gentle, as if he were pouring out his endless love to Master Shen Xi.

Hearing this, Master Shen Xi's heart couldn't help but flutter.

Even though she knew these were just sweet nothings that Ye Xuan had casually spouted.

For some reason, these words deeply touched her heart.

She looked at Ye Xuan, and the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a trace of subtle, imperceptible emotion.

"This rebellious disciple is really something; how can he say such shameless things?" Master Shen Xi complained, her face flushed red, yet her heart couldn't help but ripple with emotion. She had never felt such strange sensations before; they surged into her heart like a tide, leaving her feeling somewhat flustered and at a loss.

"You... I... Very well, very well! If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If it's a disaster, it cannot be avoided. I, your master, will stop running from this!"

Master Shen Xi bit her lip, her beautiful eyes flickering as if she had made up her mind.

She slowly reached out her jade-like hand and gently stroked the cheek she had just pinched red. An ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere instantly filled the room.

Under the cover of night, Sword Immortal Peak was as beautiful and enchanting as a fairyland.

A gentle breeze caressed the drifting immortal clouds, shaping them into various marvelous forms.

The bright moon and stars hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire immortal peak.

Peach blossom petals from several spirit trees fluttered down like pink snowflakes, covering the ground beside the spirit lake and adding a touch of romance to the tranquil scene.

The elegant pavilion stood quietly by the immortal spring. In the boudoir on the third floor, flickering candlelight cast two long shadows.

The air was very still, but a pleasant voice could be faintly heard.

"That stinky Senior Brother isn't even in his small courtyard!" Qingluan muttered to herself.

At that moment, Qingluan's figure appeared in Ye Xuan's small courtyard on Sword Immortal Peak.

She couldn't help but recall how hard she had beaten her Senior Brother during the day, and she felt a twinge of guilt.

After much thought, she decided it would be best to apologize to Ye Xuan.
