383: Wanwan: Hmph, I just won't accept it.

"So? Did you learn your lesson now?"

"Even though I haven't met Duan Zhengchun, based on the rumors in the Jianghu, since you've already had a conflict with him, there's likely no chance for you to get close to him again."

"After all, this world is not lacking in beautiful women." Zhu Yuyan shook her head helplessly.

"Master, how will we know if we don't try?"

"I don't believe it. With my charm, is there really a man I can't handle?" Wanwan said defiantly.

"Hmm, it's good that you have such confidence, but Duan Zhengchun is no ordinary man."

"If he were truly someone who valued beauty above all else, he wouldn't have had that conflict with you before," Zhu Yuyan said.

"Hmph, I just refuse to accept it. Besides, I already apologized before."

"At worst, I'll just make a little sacrifice. I think with Prince Duan's magnanimity, he wouldn't hold a grudge against a young woman like me, right?" Wanwan puffed out her modest chest with a confident look.

Zhu Yuyan shook her head in resignation. This disciple of hers was stubborn; once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.

Since they were far from the Yinkui Sect and returning would take a long time, it was better to find a place nearby to stay for now, as long as it didn't interfere with their agreement three months later.

"Fine, since you're so persistent, let's go give it a try."

"But you only have one chance. Afterward, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must hurry and Cultivate. Aim to kill the Saintess, Shi Feixuan, during the duel in three months." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a serious expression.

"Heehee... Thank you, Master! I knew Master loved me the most." Wanwan happily pulled her Master's hand, acting spoiled.

"Alright, let's go. Stop wasting time." Zhu Yuyan gave her disciple an exasperated look.

Wanwan stuck out her tongue and said nothing, obediently following her Master toward the Kingdom.

However, what they didn't know was that everything happening here had been detected by Duan Zhengchun's perception.

As for the battle between Fan Qinghui and Zhu Yuyan, Duan Zhengchun didn't bother with them.

Because he knew very well that with their strength, neither could do anything to the other.

In the end, it would just fizzle out. He just hadn't expected Fan Qinghui to be so insidious as to set a duel for three months later, intending to use the opportunity to kill Wanwan.

Even more unexpected was that Wanwan was actually coming for him.

This girl was indeed clever, and even bolder than her Master had been back then.

It was a pity that, in the end, she had left the stage in sorrow and spent the rest of her life alone.

But he hadn't expected Wanwan to run to the Kingdom. It seemed the impression he left on her was too deep; the girl was already infatuated with him.

Wanwan was the type who loved and hated passionately; once she set her mind on something, even her Master, Zhu Yuyan, couldn't talk her out of it.

After arriving in Kingdom City, Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan went to the most luxurious restaurant in the city and took a room on the top floor to stay.

From there, they could overlook the entire Kingdom City and even see the gates of Prince Kaoshans Residence.

Wanwan stood by the window, staring blankly at the gates of Prince Kaoshans Residence.

She didn't even notice when her Master, Zhu Yuyan, came up behind her. Seeing her disciple's expression, Zhu Yuyan's brows knitted slightly, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes.

At the same time, she felt more worried. Could it be that her disciple was going to follow in her footsteps?

Perhaps she shouldn't have let her enter the Jianghu for experience so early; otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered such things.

"What? Have you fallen for that Duan Zhengchun?" Zhu Yuyan's voice was soft with a hint of teasing.

The sudden voice beside her startled Wanwan. When she looked at her Master, her face couldn't help but redden, and her eyes flickered.

"Master, what are you saying? I... I don't understand."

"You don't understand? Or are you just unwilling to admit it?"

"Master has been through this before; you can't hide it from me." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan calmly.

"Master, I..."

Wanwan opened her mouth, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

She was raised by her Master, so her thoughts could not be hidden from her at all.

"No need to be so nervous. It's normal for a young woman to have romantic feelings."

"Master was young once too. Duan Zhengchun is rumored to be so outstanding and extraordinary in the Jianghu; it's normal for you to be interested in him."

"Women don't just like handsome men; they like strong ones even more."

"However, while a strong man is good, if he isn't sincere, it's all in vain." Zhu Yuyan shook her head.

"Master, Prince Duan is different. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many female confidantes by his side."

"And he wouldn't have married so many wives at once." Wanwan hurriedly began to explain on Duan Zhengchun's behalf.

Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a smile.

Seeing her Master's expression, Wanwan immediately realized she had been a bit too defensive.

"Oh, Master, you tricked me..." Wanwan acted spoiled, her face blushing.

"You don't need to be so nervous. I have no intention of stopping you."

"However, you must listen to me on this matter."

"As long as Duan Zhengchun can pass my test, I will agree to you two being together." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a serious expression.

"Master, you won't intentionally make things difficult for Prince Duan, will you?" Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuyan cautiously.

"Is that the kind of person I am in your eyes?" Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a darkened expression.

"No, I... I just..."

Wanwan's expression was a bit awkward, knowing she had misspoken in her haste.

"Enough, listen to me. If Duan Zhengchun cannot pass This Seat's test, I will not let you be together," Zhu Yuyan said coldly.

"This... Alright..." Wanwan lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look at her Master.

Looking at her disciple's appearance, Zhu Yuyan shook her head helplessly.

She knew her disciple was already beyond help. Even if she didn't agree, her disciple would likely stubbornly stick with Duan Zhengchun.

This Wanwan was so similar to her younger self; back then, she had ignored her Master's advice and insisted on being with Shi Zhixuan.

The end result was that she was indeed dumped by Shi Zhixuan, and from then on, her Heavenly Demon Great Technique was stuck at the Seventeenth Level, unable to achieve a Breakthrough.

Her Master had also died of grief because of this matter.

Now that her disciple was facing the same situation, could this be the fate of the Yinkui Sect?

She hoped her disciple could escape such a fate.

Duan Zhengchun, you'd better not disappoint me. Otherwise, even if I have to sacrifice my entire cultivation, I'll make you pay.

"Master, then let's go to Prince Kaoshans Residence." Wanwan took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

"Then let's go," Zhu Yuyan nodded.

Immediately, Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan went to Prince Kaoshans Residence together.

Looking at the grand Prince Kaoshans Residence before her, Wanwan felt a bit nervous.

Although she admired Duan Zhengchun in her heart, showing up at his door like this made her somewhat nervous.

"What? You're already here, what else are you worried about?"

"Aren't you just seeking an answer? What's the big deal? If he refuses, you must give up completely and return with me to Cultivate properly." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a cold tone.
