95: Chapter 95 Yunxiang's Flirting is Deeply Affectionate, the Patriarch Stumbles Upon the Garden of Spring.

Ye Xiu sneered.

He casually shoved the Incomplete Manual of the "Heavenly Master Divine Sword," which countless Imperial Academy Disciples coveted, straight into the collar of Si Yunxiang's loose school uniform.

The ancient book, carrying the scorching heat of Ye Xiu's fingertips, slid against Si Yunxiang's skin.

It made her tremble all over, her legs almost turning to jelly, unable to stand.

"This Incomplete Manual is a gift for you. However..."

Ye Xiu leaned close to her ear and wickedly bit her earlobe, which was red enough to drip blood:

"Since you took the initiative to say you wanted to warm my bed earlier, this Sect Leader will take it seriously. From now on, in this Imperial Academy, you will be my obedient personal maid who serves tea and pours water. If you dare to disobey me even half a word..."

Ye Xiu let go, laughed loudly, turned around, and walked arrogantly toward the depths of the library:

"This Sect Leader will have his way with you, Saintess, right here in the public eye of the Imperial Academy!"

Inside the library on the top floor of the Tianlu Pavilion.

The air was filled with an extremely decadent scent, a mixture of ancient ink and the maiden's fragrance.

Si Yunxiang's incredibly proud, delicate body was pressed firmly against the white jade bookshelf by Ye Xiu, the distance between them so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"Sect Leader... you only know how to bully Yunxiang..."

Si Yunxiang bit her red lips and decided to just give up and let things happen; not only did she not push Ye Xiu away,

but her smooth, jade-like arms boldly wrapped tightly around Ye Xiu's neck, and she puffed out her chest.

She closed her big, watery eyes, putting on a charming expression, ready to be plucked by him.

At this beautiful moment, with dry wood and raging fire, extremely sensual, and on the verge of staging an "immoral drama" right here in the sacred Imperial Academy library!

"Ahem... well..."

An extremely crisp, mature cough, carrying a trace of a child's voice yet filled with endless vicissitudes, sounded abruptly from the other side of the bookshelf.

"Little Friend Ye, have I interrupted your 'academic research'?"

"Ah——!!!"

This sudden voice was like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing all the seductive charm on Si Yunxiang!

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she let out an extremely terrified scream.

She opened her eyes wide and tried to break free from Ye Xiu's embrace as if electrocuted.

What a joke! This was the absolute Forbidden Ground of the Imperial Academy, the Tianlu Pavilion!

To be caught hugging a man in this place, did she still want to keep her persona as the pure talented woman of the Imperial Academy?

Not to mention she was still clutching the stolen forbidden Incomplete Manual in her arms!

However, the large hand Ye Xiu had clasped around her waist was like cast iron; no matter how she struggled, it didn't move a bit.

"What are you panicking about? If the sky falls, this Sect Leader will hold it up. Have some backbone."

Ye Xiu gave Si Yunxiang's fragrant shoulder a crisp slap, causing the Saintess to let out an extremely shameful muffled groan.

Afterward, not only did Ye Xiu not release Si Yunxiang, he arrogantly wrapped one arm around her slender, water-snake-like waist.

He turned around unhurriedly and looked toward the end of the bookshelf aisle.

He saw a youth wearing a Daoist robe, with red lips and white teeth, and a cinnabar mark between his eyebrows, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them with a smile.

It was none other than the Daoist Supreme whom he had just met last night—the Young Patriarch!

"Ancestral Master, do you have some kind of voyeuristic habit?"

Far from feeling the slightest embarrassment of being "caught in the act," Ye Xiu curled his lips in extreme dissatisfaction.

"You don't know how to knock before entering? Is this how the rules of your Imperial Academy teach you?"

Hearing Ye Xiu's wild words of shifting the blame, the Young Patriarch couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Little Friend, I have truly learned your ability to shift the blame. There isn't even a door on the top floor of this Tianlu Pavilion; where would I knock?"

The Young Patriarch walked forward slowly, his clear eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through the Reincarnation of all things in heaven and earth,

swept over Si Yunxiang, who was terrified and burying her face firmly in Ye Xiu's chest, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even deeper.

"Besides, how could I have expected that on the first day of Little Friend Ye's tenure as the honorable [Grand Guest Elder], instead of looking at Cultivation Techniques or array diagrams, you would actually be... personally 'instructing' a female Disciple of the Imperial Academy behind the bookshelf?"

"Instructing is not the word. This girl's hands are not clean; she stole something, and this Guest Elder is conducting a 'profound critical education' on her."

Ye Xiu's face was as thick as a city wall; he spouted nonsense without changing his expression or heart rate.

But Si Yunxiang in his arms, upon hearing the familiar voice and tone of the "Young Patriarch," felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her blood seemed to freeze solid!

The Young Patriarch?

"It's over, it's over... being caught by the Ancestral Master, my identity must be exposed... stealing forbidden books from the Imperial Academy, seducing the Grand Guest Elder, this charge..."

Si Yunxiang was trembling like a sieve from fear; she felt like dying right now and could only act like an ostrich, pressing her scorching cheeks firmly against Ye Xiu's chest, not daring to look up at the Ancestral Master at all.

Seems to have noticed the extreme fear of this little girl in his arms, Ye Xiu domineeringly pulled her tighter into his embrace.

"Ancestral Master, stop scaring my newly acquired personal maid."

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow.

His golden and silver heterochromatic eyes met the Young Patriarch's gaze without yielding, his tone filled with an unquestionable sense of protectiveness and dominance.

"She is the Saintess of my Heavenly Demon Sect, and she is the woman I, Ye Xiu, have set my sights on. So what if she took one or two broken books from the Imperial Academy? This Guest Elder thinks there are plenty of books in this library; if I reward her with two to take back as toilet paper, do you have an opinion?"

Domineering!

Arrogance that protected his own to the extreme!

Calling the peerless Cultivation Techniques held as the gold standard by the Imperial Academy "broken books" and "toilet paper."

And right in front of the Young Patriarch, openly shielding a book thief!

If any other Imperial Academy instructor dared to say this, the Young Patriarch would have already slapped him onto the wall, unable to be scraped off.

But facing Ye Xiu, the Young Patriarch did not show any Life Qi; instead, he sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly:

"Little Friend, you are joking. Since she is Little Friend's... personal maid, naturally she may peruse the classics in the Tianlu Pavilion at will."

Hearing that the Young Patriarch had actually compromised, Si Yunxiang, hiding in Ye Xiu's arms, was so shocked that her heartbeat skipped a beat.

She secretly looked up and glanced at Ye Xiu in utter disbelief.

This man... what exactly is his background?

To think that even the Young Patriarch, the titan of the world's martial arts, would be so polite to him, or perhaps even indulgent?!

"That's more like it."

Ye Xiu hummed with satisfaction.

"Speak, you old man, not cultivating in your sect, running to the Imperial Academy to find me early in the morning, you must be up to no good. Did that kid Qin Mu cause trouble?"

"Little Friend Ye is truly prescient."

Mentioning Qin Mu, an extremely strange expression appeared on the Young Patriarch's face, and he said with a half-smile:

"That 'Son of Heaven's Disciple' brought by Little Friend is indeed an incredible prodigy. He came to report to the Imperial Academy for the first time today, didn't go to listen to lectures, and didn't go to collect his school uniform..."

"What did he go do?"

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"He took that pig-killing knife and ran straight to the martial arts practice field of the Imperial Academy..."
