123: Chapter 123 Meeting Master Late at Night

The Elder nodded, then looked at Shen Lang and continued.

"Second place, Shen Lang, is rewarded with a Yellow Grade Superior Martial Skill and fifty Contribution Points. From third to tenth place, the Contribution Points decrease sequentially; a Deacon will inform you of the specific amounts later."

Shen Lang cupped his fists in thanks, a hint of joy on his face.

To him, being able to obtain a Yellow Grade Superior Martial Skill was already an unexpected surprise.

After all, with his cultivation, he wouldn't have necessarily been able to maintain a spot in the top three.

If he had encountered that Lin Xiao, wouldn't he have been finished?

After distributing the rewards, the Elder waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

Ye Yun turned and walked down from the high platform, and Zhao Hu and the others immediately surrounded him, congratulating him all at once.

"Brother Ye Yun, a Mystic Grade Inferior Martial Skill! You've really hit the jackpot this time!"

Zhao Hu was so excited his face was flushed red.

Zhou Wen also smiled and nodded.

"To have such rewards upon entering the Inner Sect, Brother Ye Yun's future is truly limitless."

pleural scratched his head and smiled honestly.

"Brother Ye Yun is too amazing; we're all benefiting from your success."

Ye Yun smiled and patted their shoulders.

"Alright, stop the flattery. Your performances today weren't bad either; go back and get some good rest."

The group walked toward the dormitory area, chatting and laughing.

...

As the night deepened, Luoxue Sect fell into a peaceful silence.

Moonlight spilled onto the dormitory window frames, spreading a layer of silvery-white soft light.

Ye Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opening his eyes and exhaling a breath of turbid air.

The day's cultivation had come to an end, and the Mystic Power within his body had become a bit more condensed.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and prepared to head out.

Zhao Hu wasn't asleep yet; seeing him get up, he asked curiously.

"Brother Ye Yun, going out so late? Can you report to the Inner Sect already?"

Ye Yun shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I'm not going to report to the Inner Sect; I have something else to do."

Zhao Hu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Then where are you going?"

Ye Yun didn't answer, only smiled and pushed the door open to leave.

Under the moonlight, his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

That graceful figure surfaced in his mind—the fiery red dress, the lazy eyes.

And that heart-palpitating, seductive charm.

Ye Yun quickened his pace, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

[Revered Master, I'm coming.]

...

Lonely Peak was as quiet as ever, with moonlight spilling through the bamboo forest, spreading a layer of silvery-white halo.

Ye Yun climbed the familiar bluestone path step by step.

From a distance, he could see the warm yellow light shining from the Bamboo House, exceptionally warm in this quiet night.

He walked to the front of the Bamboo House, straightened his robes, and spoke respectfully.

"Revered Master, Disciple Ye Yun requests an audience."

There was a moment of silence inside, followed by a lazy and soft voice, carrying a hint of a languid smile.

"Come in."

Ye Yun pushed the door and entered.

A warm fragrance greeted him, just like any other day.

The furnishings in the Bamboo House remained the same; by the large Jade Bed, the gauze curtains were half-drawn.

A graceful figure was leaning against the head of the bed.

Master Bai Yuxue was wearing a thin black gauze dress today, the material so light it was almost transparent.

It indistinctly outlined her exquisite, undulating curves.

The hem of the dress only covered down to her mid-thigh, revealing two long, translucent white legs crossed over the edge of the bed.

The neckline was cut very low, her snow-white skin and deep cleavage gleaming with an alluring luster under the warm yellow light.

Her dark hair was loose, her eyes lazy, and her red lips slightly curved.

Her entire being radiated a suffocating charm.

Master Bai Yuxue leaned there, watching Ye Yun as he entered.

A hint of playful mischief flashed in her Phoenix eyes, her voice soft and seductive to the bone.

"Little Yun'er, what are you looking at? Your eyes are about to fall out."

Ye Yun's gaze fell on her and could no longer be moved.

He had seen many sides of Master Bai Yuxue—cold, lazy, charming, and powerful.

But tonight, she was so beautiful that his heart skipped several beats.

His breathing unconsciously became rapid.

Ye Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked forward, and sat by the bed.

Yet his gaze still could not bear to leave her.

He smiled, his tone carrying a bit of flattery.

"Haven't I missed Revered Master dearly after not seeing you for several days?"

Master Bai Yuxue gave a light huff, tapped his forehead with her finger, and scolded playfully.

"Missed me dearly? Then why didn't I see you come earlier? Did you have to wait until The Great Competition ended to come?"

Ye Yun took her hand, gently stroking it, and laughed.

"I had to prepare before the competition and deal with things during it; I really couldn't get away. Didn't I rush over as soon as it ended?"

Master Bai Yuxue looked at him, the mischief in her Phoenix eyes gradually turning into tenderness.

She pulled her hand back, but her tone remained indifferent, carrying a hint of concern.

"Nothing happened while you were out this time, right?"

Ye Yun knew she was asking about the Fengyun Mountains, so he shook his head and said nonchalantly.

"Encountered a bit of trouble, but it's all settled now; it's no big deal."

Master Bai Yuxue nodded and didn't press further.

She looked at Ye Yun, her expression gradually becoming serious, and her tone turned solemn.

"You are about to enter the Inner Sect; I have a few words of advice for you."

Ye Yun's expression turned serious.

"Please speak, Revered Master."

"The Inner Sect is not like the Outer Sect; the water there is very deep."

Master Bai Yuxue said slowly.

"That boy Murong Yun doesn't dare move against you openly, but he will surely find ways to look for your weaknesses and set traps for you. Once you enter the Inner Sect, you must act more cautiously and not leave any room for criticism."

She paused, then continued.

"The situation in the Sect is a bit complicated right now, and there are some things I cannot directly intervene in. So, for many things, you must rely on yourself."

Ye Yun nodded and said solemnly.

"Disciple understands. Don't worry, Revered Master, I know what I'm doing."

Master Bai Yuxue looked at his serious appearance, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

She was about to say something more when she noticed that Ye Yun had somehow moved close to her.

The distance between them was mere inches.

Master Bai Yuxue was slightly startled, a barely perceptible blush rising on her cheeks, yet her tone remained lazy.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Yun looked at her peerless face so close to him and smelled the faint fragrance coming from her body.

The throbbing in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He thought about wanting her in his heart, but he certainly couldn't say that on the surface.

Ye Yun spoke softly, his voice low and gentle.

"I missed Revered Master."

Master Bai Yuxue's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained indifferent as she gave a light huff.

"Your words sound nice."

Ye Yun smiled, reached out, and gently put his arm around her waist.

It felt soft and warm; her slender waist could be held in a single hand, and the warmth of her skin could be felt through the thin gauze dress.

He slowly drew closer, whispering in her ear.

"I really did."

Warm breath brushed against her ear; Master Bai Yuxue's body trembled slightly, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.

She wanted to push him away, but just as her hand was raised, it was caught by Ye Yun.

"Revered Master..."

Ye Yun called out softly, his lips gently landing on her cheek, tender and lingering.

Master Bai Yuxue closed her eyes and did not push him away again.
