60: You're actually protecting him?

At the bedroom door, Wu Yang could no longer suppress the explosive fury surging within his heart.

"Boom—!"

A loud crash rang out.

He didn't knock. Instead, he channeled the Cave Heaven Realm Spiritual Energy he had just broken through with into his right leg without reservation.

With a vicious strike, he kicked open the door to Leng Ningshuang's bedroom!

The door splintered, and wood chips flew everywhere.

But the scene before his eyes made his eyes nearly split with rage, his blood flowing in reverse!

Inside the room, the mist had not yet fully dissipated.

His pure and noble Revered Master, Leng Ningshuang, was currently supporting Lu Yi's arm with a look of "concern."

And that beast Lu Yi was "weakly" leaning against the side of his Revered Master's bed!

More importantly, both of their clothes were wrinkled and disheveled from the steam of the healing process.

To anyone who saw them in that state, it would spark all sorts of wild imaginings!

It was one thing for it to be like this last time, but it was actually like this again!

Did they really think he was so easy to fool?

"Revered Master!!"

Wu Yang's roar almost shook the entire State Preceptors Residence.

He pointed at the "unsightly" pair in the room, his voice trembling and distorted by extreme anger.

"You... how could you... how could you do such a shameless thing!!"

"Are you going to tell me this is healing again?!"

Leng Ningshuang completely hadn't expected Wu Yang to be so rebellious as to kick open her bedroom door!

Even more unexpected was that the moment he entered, he would say such filthy and treasonous words!

She trembled all over with rage, feeling both ashamed and furious.

Her cheeks, already flushed from the healing, now turned a deep crimson.

"Wu Yang! You are insolent!"

She shouted sharply:

"Do you still have me, your Revered Master, in your eyes?!"

However, at this moment, Wu Yang had long since been blinded by jealousy.

He was certain that his Revered Master had been deceived by this lecherous thief, Lu Yi.

The confidence from his new Breakthrough led him to strike out boldly!

"Revered Master, move aside!"

He roared:

"Today, I will personally kill this lecher Lu Yi! I will clear the sect for you!"

Before his voice had even faded, he had already charged forward with the full power of a Cave Heaven Realm strike, his entire body turning into an afterimage.

Ignoring Leng Ningshuang's reprimand, he aimed a punch directly at Lu Yi's vital chest area!

"Don't!"

Seeing this, Leng Ningshuang's face paled in shock.

She knew perfectly well that Lu Yi was currently in an "extremely weak" state.

Having exhausted his Origin for her for many consecutive days, he was already at his limit.

It was impossible for him to withstand Wu Yang's full-strength blow!

Seeing that the violent wind from the punch was about to hit Lu Yi.

Leng Ningshuang acted almost out of instinct.

A terrifying pressure belonging to an Undying Realm powerhouse instantly erupted from her body.

It then formed a physical barrier in front of Lu Yi.

"Bang—!"

Wu Yang's confident attack, in the face of the absolute pressure of the Undying Realm,

was like an egg hitting a rock—completely fragile.

His entire person, along with that violent Spiritual Energy, was violently repelled by an even more terrifying force.

Finally, he slammed heavily against the courtyard wall, causing the entire yard to tremble.

"Pfft—"

Wu Yang fell to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood on the spot.

He felt that the Meridians in his right arm were already showing signs of rupturing from that terrifying collision!

However, the pain in his body was not even a ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.

He raised his head in disbelief.

He looked at his Revered Master, who was still standing in front of Lu Yi, glaring at him with anger.

He gave a miserable laugh, one filled with despair and sorrow.

"Good... very good..."

"You actually... you actually attacked me for him..."

"You're actually still protecting him?!"

Just then, Lu Yi, who was protected behind Leng Ningshuang, chose the right moment to reach out and gently tug on the corner of her sleeve.

He pretended to struggle as he stood up from the bedside.

Using a weak yet "magnanimous" tone, he spoke:

"Sister Ningshuang, don't... don't blame him, he's just being too impulsive..."

"Cough, cough..."

He clutched his chest and coughed twice more.

"It's all my fault, I... I should have left earlier..."

Lu Yi's performance of "repaying grievances with kindness" only served to confirm in Leng Ningshuang's mind that he had suffered a great injustice.

But to Wu Yang's ears,

this was the victor's most blatant display of showing off!

"You..."

Leng Ningshuang looked at Wu Yang's still stubborn and venomous gaze.

She felt disappointed to the extreme with this Disciple of hers.

Exhausted in mind and spirit, she didn't want to waste another word on him.

She pointed at Wu Yang and shouted with all her might:

"Rebellious Disciple! You have disappointed me too much! Get out!"

"Get out of the State Preceptors Residence! Without my permission, you are not allowed to step back in here!"

This kind of "punishment"—being personally expelled from the residence by the person he respected most—

made Wu Yang feel more humiliated and desperate than any confinement ever could.

He gave the two of them a deep, venomous look.

In his heart, he still firmly believed that his Revered Master must have been blinded by this bastard Lu Yi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

He really should have risked everything to prevent Lu Yi from staying at the State Preceptors Residence back then.

Now that his Revered Master was in a fit of rage, nothing he said would matter.

For now, he could only leave first and then find a way to "rescue" his Revered Master from Lu Yi's hands.

He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, scrambled up from the ground, and without a word, rushed out of the courtyard without looking back.

Eventually, he disappeared completely beyond the gates of the State Preceptors Residence... Meanwhile, inside Leng Ningshuang's bedroom.

After Wu Yang left, Leng Ningshuang was shaking all over from the extreme anger and the feeling of being betrayed by her closest Disciple.

Her mind was in chaos, and in her fury, she actually triggered the Cold Fiend Qi within her body that had just been suppressed!

"Ugh..."

Her face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably, nearly making her unable to stand.

Seeing this, Lu Yi chuckled inwardly, knowing the timing was finally right. He immediately stepped forward "considerately" and caught her body as it was about to collapse.

"Sister Ningshuang! How are you? Don't get angry over someone like that, take care of your body!"

He "dutifully" supported and half-carried her back to the bed in the bedroom.

"You... don't leave yet..."

Leng Ningshuang grabbed his hand and said with unsteady breath.

"I understand."

Lu Yi nodded with a "solemn face."

"I'll help you heal again."

It was another round of "intense" treatment.

After comforting the mentally and physically exhausted Leng Ningshuang,

Lu Yi pretended to be "spent" and suggested to her that he should probably leave first.

After all, staying here wasn't a solution; what if someone else misunderstood?

Leng Ningshuang looked at his back, which seemed even more exhausted than her own.

Her heart was filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.

On one hand, she felt guilty because of her Disciple's recklessness.

On the other hand, she was grateful to him for once again sacrificing himself to heal her.
