Chapter 52 Rebellious Disciple

"Once there was a sincere love placed before me, but I did not cherish it. It was only when I lost it that I felt regret. The most painful thing in this world is nothing more than this."

"If heaven could give me another chance, I would say three words to that woman... I love you."

"If I must set a time limit on this love, I hope it is... ten thousand years."

Ye Fan's heartfelt, deep confession left Su Ningxue's mind blank, her entire body seeming to turn to stone.

Where had she ever heard such classic lines? For a moment, she even forgot to breathe.

Before Su Ningxue could regain her senses, Ye Fan directly kissed her fragrant lips.

The familiar sensation made her unable to extricate herself; her enchanting, beautiful eyes instantly grew hazy.

Ye Fan's bold action made Su Ningxue's delicate body tremble. Instinctively, she wanted to strike him dead with a single palm, but at this moment, she was helpless like a little girl.

She wanted to push Ye Fan away, but her body seemed to have lost control. Completely lost in the moment, her two jade-like arms unconsciously wrapped around Ye Fan's lower back.

The passionate kiss between the two was like lightning striking dry tinder, pulling their thoughts entirely back to that pitch-black cave.

Long-slumbering memories fully revived. The desires Su Ningxue had suppressed for so long completely erupted; she couldn't even care that they were in the main hall.

The familiar situation made Su Ningxue feel as if struck by electricity, her delicate body trembling even more intensely.

"You... don't..."

Su Ningxue struggled to maintain her composure, only to have Ye Fan's words completely break her defenses.

"Don't? Then forget it."

Seeing Ye Fan actually get up to leave, Su Ningxue was a bit dumbfounded and subconsciously grabbed his hand.

"This seat does not mean that... it's... in any case... This seat will be on top!"

This was Su Ningxue's final bottom line. She turned over and took the dominant position.

Watching the tantalizingly seductive scene before him, Ye Fan felt nothing but intense excitement.

Last time, she was unconscious, so it was one thing. But this time was completely different.

This was a genuine Core Formation Realm Cultivator, the Peak Revered Master of Profound Spirit Peak, Murong Wan's Revered Master—someone who could crush him with a single finger.

Yet, such a powerful and stunning woman was now passionately indulging in pleasure right before his eyes. Ye Fan still couldn't believe this was real.

If not for his Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm greatly strengthening his body, such intense physical and mental stimulation would have made Ye Fan succumb long ago.

"Being a Rebellious Disciple who charges at his Revered Master isn't so bad."

The two were completely lost in the most primal desires, utterly forgetting that Murong Wan stood just outside the door.

She was completely unaware of everything happening inside the main hall. Although curious why it was taking so long, she simply assumed her Revered Master was testing Ye Fan's Aptitude.

Though, in a sense, that wasn't entirely wrong.

After an unknown amount of time, the two gradually awoke from the feeling of ecstasy.

Seeing Ye Fan's half-smiling expression, Su Ningxue was so ashamed she wished the ground would swallow her. She desperately wanted to end his life with a single palm strike.

"Damn it... I actually... did it with him again... What am I..."

Su Ningxue hurriedly straightened her clothes, but the flush on her face simply wouldn't fade.

In contrast, Ye Fan was barely suppressing his laughter, seemingly already certain he could rely on this 'soft rice'.

"Xuanji... may I call you that?"

Ye Fan's words caused the flush on her face to instantly deepen. She struggled to maintain her final modesty and dignity, but it was a futile effort.

"Xuanji, every word I said earlier was sincere. If you don't believe me, I can cut my heart out to show you."

Ye Fan took out a dagger, making as if to cut open his chest, his movements showing not a hint of hesitation.

But the moment the dagger touched the skin on his chest, it was sent flying by an invisible surge of spiritual power.

"Xuanji, you..."

"Stop pretending. You know I could block it."

Having lived for so many years, Su Ningxue had seen it all. She saw through Ye Fan's little tricks at a glance.

Yet, she couldn't muster any anger at all; instead, a hint of shyness appeared on her lovely face.

Though exposed on the spot, Ye Fan's skin was simply too thick. He didn't change expression or heartbeat, adopting the stance of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"Since you've seen through me, there's nothing I can do. Kill me or slice me, do as you please."

"If I can die by your hand, I'll consider it a worthy death. Go ahead."

Ye Fan struck a pose of offering his neck for the slaughter, and Su Ningxue just happened to fall for this act.

"You know I won't do it. Stop putting on a show."

If she were going to act, Su Ningxue would have done it earlier. Why wait until now, only to let Ye Fan take advantage again?

Her feelings towards Ye Fan were extremely complex, especially since Murong Wan was also involved. She truly didn't know how to face this.

"What happened before is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. Once we leave this door, you must forget everything. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

This was the only solution Su Ningxue could think of. Though somewhat self-deceiving, there was no other way at the moment.

Who knew Ye Fan's courage would suddenly grow much bolder? He actually embraced Su Ningxue from behind.

"How dare you... Do you truly think I won't kill you?!" Su Ningxue said, her delicate body trembling.

"I know you can't accept all this right now. I'll give you time, and I'll give myself time too."

"Once I successfully achieve Core Formation, I will openly become your Dao Companion."

Unlike the plagiarized lines earlier, Ye Fan's confession this time was sincere and heartfelt, words he had always buried deep in his heart.

He had originally planned to seek out Su Ningxue after achieving Core Formation. Since heaven had actively returned her to his side, there was even less reason to let her go.

Ye Fan's words sent Su Ningxue's heart into a flurry. She couldn't manage to break free from his embrace. After hesitating for a long while, she barely managed to speak.

"We'll talk after you break through to the Core Formation Realm."

In Su Ningxue's view, Ye Fan's Aptitude was poor. Even if he did achieve Core Formation one day, it would be at least a hundred years later.

That much time was enough for both sides to forget each other. Beyond that, she really couldn't think of any other solution.

But hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't suppress the wild joy in his heart. With the System assisting him, his Breakthrough to Core Formation was as easy as lifting a hand.

"Then it's settled. When I achieve Core Formation, you'll be my Dao Companion. Don't worry about Wan'er's side; I'll find an opportunity to make it clear to her."

The moment she heard Murong Wan's name, Su Ningxue instantly panicked, nearly turning into a steam engine.

"No! This matter absolutely must not be told to Wan'er under any circumstances!"

Su Ningxue didn't dare imagine how Murong Wan would see her if she knew, let alone how to continue interacting with her. For now, she could only play the ostrich and bury her head in the sand.

Seeing this, Ye Fan could only nod, agreeing to let the matter rot in their bellies, becoming a secret between the two of them.

After an unknown amount of time, the door to the main hall opened again. Ye Fan and Su Ningxue appeared just as before, with no sign of what had transpired.

"Master, what do you think of Ye Fan? Can you accept him as your Personal Disciple?" Murong Wan asked somewhat anxiously.
