105: Love flows like water, Master, do you like me?

[Ding! A choice has been triggered!]

[Option One: Accept the invitation, agree to participate in the Imperial Capital Clan Competition on behalf of the Chu lineage of the Tianwu Royal Estate under the pretense of being Chu Yuer's fiancé, and enter the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm.]

[Scenario: You agree to participate in the Clan Competition.]

[Heavenly Martial King thinks highly of you and arranges for you and Chu Yuer to establish a superficial engagement.]

[You use this opportunity to secure a spot in the Clan Competition.]

[You participate in the Clan Competition, sweeping aside all clan Prodigies, and win first place.]

[Reward: Taking the Body as the Seed.]

[Option Two: Decline the invitation, reject Revered Master's arrangement, and state directly that Chu Yuer is merely a plaything, unworthy of becoming your fiancée.]

[Scenario: You insist on your independence, unwilling to rely on Chu Yuer's connections, but you will lose the most convenient opportunity to gain entry qualification for the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm.]

[You miss the Clan Competition, spending your days Cultivating on Emperor Mountain and discussing the Dao with Revered Master.]

[Reward: Chaos dao seed, Chaos Dao Stone.]

[Please choose!]

Two choices, two completely different paths of the Dao, clearly presented themselves before Qin Wushang.

Qin Wushang looked at them and hesitated for three seconds!

Taking the Body as the Seed is known as the Invincible Path!

It must be extremely difficult!

But he has the System!

With the System in hand, the world is mine. Why bother suffering the hardships of Cultivation? Just go for it!

"I choose One!"

After making his choice, a brilliant smile instantly spread across Qin Wushang's face.

He looked at Chu Yuehua, his tone carrying a hint of slyness and sudden realization.

"Oh~ In that case, Revered Master, you agree to let Chu Yuer become your Disciple's fiancée?"

Chu Yuehua was stunned by his question, then her delicate brows furrowed, and she immediately clarified: "It's merely a measure of expediency! It's temporary! It's fake!"

"It is to allow you to legitimately participate in the Clan Competition and enter the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm. It is not meant for you to truly become Dao Companions with Chu Yuer!"

As she spoke these words, her speaking speed unconsciously quickened slightly, and her eyes flickered.

Qin Wushang was exceptionally sharp and immediately captured this subtle shift in her expression.

He leaned in closer, his gaze intensely fixed upon Chu Yuehua's cold, clear eyes.

"Revered Master, you couldn't possibly be jealous, could you?"

"Jealous?"

Chu Yuehua was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; her voice suddenly rose in pitch, and a barely noticeable blush crept onto her exquisite cheeks.

She immediately straightened her face, reverting to the imperial majesty of the Empress who looked down upon all beings, and said coldly: "Scram! I am the Great Chu Empress, ruling over the Nine Provinces. What kind of man could I possibly not have?"

"How could I be jealous of you, this Rebellious Disciple?"

"Nonsense!"

"Is that so?"

Qin Wushang, however, pressed on relentlessly, the smile on his face deepening as he continued to question her: "Then why did Revered Master have to emphasize that the fiancé role is fake, and not real?"

"If it's fake, why care about its authenticity?"

Chu Yuehua was momentarily stumped by his question, but forced herself to maintain composure and replied.

"Chu Yuer is unworthy of you."

Hearing this, a flash of triumph crossed Qin Wushang's eyes, and he pushed his luck further.

"But Revered Master, why does your Disciple feel that you have been treating him exceptionally differently these past few days?"

"So proactive, so... hmm, love as clear as water. Your Disciple has felt it clearly and distinctly."

"You! Rebellious Disciple!"

Chu Yuehua was both embarrassed and angered by his bold and straightforward words. The layer of cold detachment she maintained finally crumbled, and the blush on her exquisite face deepened.

"Scram!"

"Get out!"

"Get out immediately!"

She shouted three cold commands in succession, each one carrying more indignant coldness than the last. Finally, she directly raised her jade hand and fiercely flicked her sleeve!

A massive yet gentle force instantly surged out, cleanly and decisively blasting Qin Wushang out of the Moonlight Palace!

"Bang!"

The great doors of the Moonlight Palace slammed shut the moment Qin Wushang was thrown out, isolating everything.

Qin Wushang deftly flipped in the air, landing steadily on the grass outside the palace gates.

He turned his head to look at the tightly shut palace gates, rubbed his chin, and displayed a meaningful smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Such a strong reaction. Looks like I hit the nail on the head."

"Taming successful! Soon, Revered Master will become just the way I, Qin Wushang, want her to be!"

He muttered to himself, then turned around in a rather cheerful mood, humming a tune as he headed toward his own Qijian Peak.

Meanwhile, inside the Moonlight Palace!

Chu Yuehua stood with her back to the palace doors, her exquisite profile still bearing an unfaded blush under the light of the spiritual lamp.

She lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her chest rising and falling slightly.

"That Rebellious Disciple!"

"He truly is becoming more and more outrageous!"

"He actually said that I, his Revered Master, like him! How is that possible! That is absolutely impossible!"
