62: Master, you've taken the wrong person!

Wu Yang was ecstatic when he saw Leng Ningshuang drink the tea.

He forcibly suppressed his excitement and hurriedly "struck while the iron was hot," trying to make the act even more realistic.

"Revered Master, this Disciple truly knows his mistake this time."

He continued to kneel on the ground, speaking in a tone filled with "remorse":

"This Disciple... this Disciple has one more thing I want to... want to talk to you about in private. It's about Holy Son Lu..."

According to Chu Qianqian's previous description, the medicinal effect should kick in very soon.

He had to drive Lu Yi away quickly.

He had previously imagined Lu Yi coming to disrupt things, and his plan for it was simple.

Once Revered Master drank the tea and the medicine took effect, he would immediately use "Revered Master feeling unwell" as an excuse to kick out the eyesore that was Lu Yi.

At that time, only he and Revered Master would be left in the room, and his great plan would be accomplished!

However, before he could finish speaking...

Lu Yi, who had been watching the show from the side, interrupted him with a smile.

"Oh, Junior Brother Wu."

Lu Yi spoke with feigned surprise:

"What a coincidence. I was also just about to have a private talk with Sister Ningshuang."

Wu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up within him.

Lu Yi ignored his instantly darkened expression and instead turned toward Leng Ningshuang, who was holding her teacup.

Leng Ningshuang, who hadn't even had time to take a second sip, also saw her expression turn "serious."

"Sister Ningshuang, this matter is of great importance."

He said in an extremely solemn tone:

"It's about the matter of our subsequent 'Cultivation.' It cannot wait."

He deliberately emphasized the word "Cultivation."

Leng Ningshuang was slightly stunned for a moment but quickly realized what he meant.

She immediately thought of the "Dual Cultivation" method Chu Qianqian had proposed!

Lu Yi's visit today was likely because of this.

In fact, she had also been considering this matter for the past few days; after all, relying on Lu Yi to circulate his power for her indefinitely wasn't a long-term solution.

Besides, Chu Qianqian had said before that it didn't necessarily have to involve that kind of thing.

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try... Thinking of this, Leng Ningshuang felt a "boom" as a wave of heat rushed straight to her head.

Two moving clouds of red instantly flushed her cheeks, her heart filled with shame and embarrassment.

She coughed lightly in embarrassment and subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Lu Yi's eyes.

This incredibly ambiguous atmosphere made Leng Ningshuang want to quickly drive away the "third wheel," Wu Yang.

She immediately put on a cold face and issued an order to leave to Wu Yang, who was still kneeling on the ground:

"Wu Yang, since you know your mistake, go back first and properly consolidate the cultivation you just broke through. I have... important matters to discuss with Holy Son Lu..."

Wu Yang was already filled with jealousy and hatred for Lu Yi.

Hearing now that Revered Master actually wanted to drive him away just to be "alone" with Lu Yi...

The fire of rage in his heart surged even higher!

He was certain that Revered Master must have been deceived by this fellow again!

Stiffening his neck, instead of getting up to leave, he stubbornly stayed where he was and continued to plead:

"Revered Master! This Disciple's words are truly important! You must not be deceived by his hypocritical face!"

He had to drive away Lu Yi, the greatest threat, before the medicinal effect fully kicked in!

"Impudent!"

Leng Ningshuang was somewhat displeased due to the shame of the "Dual Cultivation" matter and Wu Yang's persistent pestering.

She was about to speak and give this increasingly out-of-line Rebellious Disciple a good scolding.

However, at that moment!

A very strange sensation suddenly came from her body.

An indescribable heat suddenly rose from her lower abdomen, the Dantian, without any warning!

This heat was like a prairie fire, sweeping through her entire body in an instant.

It made the blood in her whole body feel as if it were boiling at this moment!

"Ngh..."

Leng Ningshuang's eyes instantly began to turn hazy, and her breathing became hurried.

She abruptly lowered her head to look at the "Calming Tea" in her hand that she had just drunk.

Then, with an unbelievable gaze filled with shock and anger, she looked at Wu Yang, who was still kneeling on the ground!

She finally realized!

"You... you put... medicine in the tea?!"

"Revered Master!"

Wu Yang saw this and was ecstatic—the medicinal effect had finally kicked in!

He immediately put on an extremely "concerned" look.

He leaped up from the ground and tried to step forward to support the swaying Leng Ningshuang.

"Revered Master! What are you saying? What's wrong? Your complexion is so poor! This Disciple will help you go rest!"

However, under the terrifying effect of the "Truth Pill," all of Leng Ningshuang's senses were magnified dozens of times.

Wu Yang's approach, combined with his actions...

...made her feel an instinctive, uncontrollable repulsion and disgust from the bottom of her heart!

On the contrary...

...Lu Yi, who was standing to the side watching all this with "surprise"...

...the aura on him, which had become incredibly familiar due to many days of "healing"...

...in Leng Ningshuang's currently chaotic perception, was like the only bright lamp in the dark night!

He was the only "heat source" she craved!

He was her only "antidote"!

"Get away!"

Using her last ounce of strength, Leng Ningshuang shoved away Wu Yang, who was about to reach out.

Then, under Wu Yang's shocked gaze, her mind blurred and acting entirely on physical instinct, she stumbled and threw herself at Lu Yi.

"Lu Yi..."

She tightly gripped Lu Yi's lapels as if grabbing onto her last life-saving straw.

Her eyes, which should have been as cold as the moon, were now clouded with mist and filled with hazy passion.

She unconsciously murmured:

"Help me... I'm so hot... it hurts..."

Wu Yang was completely petrified on the spot.

He watched this dramatic scene before him, his mind a total blank.

He had exhausted his schemes, not hesitating to bear the infamy of offending his Revered Master and defying her orders.

He hadn't hesitated to cast aside his dignity to accept the "gifted medicine" from that enchantress.

He hadn't hesitated to use a self-injury ruse, kneeling outside the residence just to get a chance to drug her... and this was what he got in return?!

What he got was his Revered Master throwing herself without hesitation into the arms of his sworn enemy?!

This made him feel worse than if he were killed in public!

"Junior Brother Wu,"

Lu Yi feigned difficulty as he reached out and held the soft, writhing body that was almost glued to him.

He looked helplessly at the long-petrified Wu Yang and shrugged.

Then, in a tone full of "innocence," he delivered the final blow:

"This... this wasn't my doing."

"Your Revered Master... she seems a bit unwell."

Lu Yi's words, filled with "show-off" undertones, and Leng Ningshuang's act of "betrayal," caused the string of Wu Yang's sanity to snap completely!

His eyes bloodshot, he pointed at the two tightly embracing each other and let out a desperate roar:

"Let go of her!!"

"Revered Master... you... you've hugged the wrong person!!"
