n them."Your Majesty, you may not know how many people outside are thirsting for your life."Ning Shu choked back tears and blurted out, "I..." His eyes were misty with tears as he looked at the person...He was extremely nervous and his mouth felt dry.

Si Kong Heng's jade pendant drooped, his shallow eyes gazing at him, he said softly, "I haven't said anything."

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Before Ning Shu could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the person opposite her say, "Is there anything that Master can't know"

The young man lowered his eyes sheepishly and murmured, "Of course not." He shifted the topic a little clumsily, "Master, why did you imprison Cang Ming in the forbidden grounds Just because he's a demon beast"

Si Kong Heng gazed at him, his voice as deep and melodious as a temple bell: "If we let him out, Tiān Qí Feng will be thrown into chaos."

His voice was cold and emotionless.

Ning Shu didn't know why, but her heart suddenly tightened. She couldn't help but wonder, although Cang Ming was a demon beast, he had never hurt anyone. Why did Shen Wuzun say such things

....

I wonder if it's just Ning Shu's illusion, but after he came out of the secret realm, his master seemed to be more intimate with him than before.

The young boy held a sword and practiced until he was panting heavily.

Shinnosuke appeared behind him at some point, his voice low. "You've become more composed than before."

Ning Shu quickly put down her sword and called out to her master, pursing her lips.

Si Kong Hengyu, however, said: "Come and rest for a while."

He nodded, and Shen Wuzun poured two cups of tea. Ning Shu's cheeks were slightly flushed as she took the tea and said softly, "Thank you, Master."

The young boy stood on the side, probably because the tea was a bit hot, he always sipped it in small amounts.

Her crimson lips were stained with a hint of tea.

Ning Shu licked his lips, but he saw that Shizun was still looking at him. His light-colored pupils couldn't tell what expression he had. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that he wasn't being dignified enough, so he quickly put down his cup.

Then he said, “Master, disciple will continue practicing swordsmanship.”

Sī Kōng Héng Yù suddenly beckoned, saying, "Come here and have a look."

Ning Shu was a little dazed, but still walked over. He walked up to Shen Wuzun's presence, perhaps because he was a little far away, the man stared at him and said faintly: "Why are you so far from your master Are you afraid of me"

He shook his head, afraid he couldn't express it. But in his heart, there was definitely respect, so he didn't dare to act disrespectfully.

The boy walked past.

Si Kong Hengyu extended his hand, and before Ning Shu could react, he was pulled into his arms. As the Divine Lord was sitting, she naturally found herself seated in his lap.

The boy couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

But it was Si Kong Hengyu, who remained composed. That icy and slender hand lightly encircled the young man's waist: "This master thought it was an illusion. You were plump before, but now you have gone back to being thin again."

Ning Shu was a little dazed, but she still replied, "Perhaps the disciple is growing."

He sat in the arms of the shinobi, feeling a strange sense of unease.

There is also a sense of being lost and out of place.

But Ning Shu dared not move, so he could only obediently stay in the other's embrace. He was already much shorter than Si Kong Hengyu, and now sitting in the other's arms, he couldn't even see his expression.

Besides shock, a shiver of unease ran down the boy's spine.

Perhaps it was because Si Kong Hengyu's aura was powerful and his cultivation terrifying. Ning Shu sat there for a while and didn't feel anything amiss.

Until his slender waist was pinched.

With a faint voice, the Divine Emperor said, “Roundness is still better. I have been too harsh on you. You don’t need to practice your swordsmanship so hard every day.”

Ning Shu reacted, realizing that the Divine Sovereign had been concerned about him. He felt even more guilty. Although his talent wasn't bad, he wasn't a genius either. He needed to practice diligently every day to improve his cultivation.

He said firmly, "Disciple fears not hardship, only that his cultivation may reach a higher level."

Si Kong Heng Yu remained silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, "Even if you diligently cultivate every day, it will take at least twenty years to reach the Golden Core stage."

Ning Shu paused, knowing what the other party meant. Si Kong Hengyu was already being very tactful. Not everyone was as monstrously talented as him, reaching the Golden Core stage at such a young age. Even someone who reached the Golden Core stage in their thirties would be considered exceptionally gifted.

But Si Kong Heng Yu wouldn't take care of him for his entire life, and Ning Shu probably hadn't reached the Nascent Soul Stage yet. Si Kong Heng Yu might have already ascended long ago.

Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "Even so, the disciple still has to work hard."

Si Kong Hengyu let go of the person, lowered his eyes and looked over, and said: "As long as you have a teacher here, if you want to cultivate into a golden core in a few years, it's not impossible."

....

The words that Si Kong Hengyu spoke during the day are still vivid in my memory.

Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat. To reach the Golden Core stage in just a few years... This person could indeed be Si Kong Heng Yu. But he only possessed a special spiritual root; his talent wasn't particularly outstanding.

The shortest amount of time, maybe twenty or thirty years, let alone a few.

But since it's what the master said, it might really be possible.

Ning Shu didn't have a strong desire to pursue cultivation. He just felt that as the apprentice of a god, appearance was important. At least he couldn't lose Si Kong Hengyu's face.

But as he thought about it, he started to daydream.

Why is my Master holding him today

Ning Shu felt a little strange, but didn't think much of it. It was naturally a good thing to be close and intimate with Si Kong Hengyu, just the pinch on her waist now had a slightly numb feeling.

He didn't realize how sensitive his waist was.

Ning Shu wiped her hair, still flushed from her bath. Just as she was about to get into bed, she heard someone knocking at the door.

He was taken aback, wondering who could possibly be here at this late hour. So he put on his shoes and went downstairs to open the door.

Standing outside the door was none other than Si Kong Hengyu.

She wore a white robe, her pale eyes seeming emotionless and detached. Her face, possessing the beauty of both heaven and man, was extremely handsome.

Ning Shu thought that her clothes were somewhat disheveled, and quickly said: "Master."

Si Kong Hengyu glanced at him and nodded faintly, "Master has something to ask you."

Ning Shu hurriedly smoothed out her clothes and let the person in. However, her cheeks were still flushed, and her hair was a little damp, and her clear eyes seemed a bit misty at this moment.

Sikong Hengyu glanced at it, his Adam's apple moved slightly, then he shifted his gaze away.

Ning Shu didn't notice his actions, she just asked a little nervously: "I wonder what Master is looking for me for"

Sikuohengyu raised his hand and picked up the towel beside him.

Ning Shu only felt something cover his head, he was a little overwhelmed with affection. He didn't know whether to sit still or do anything else.

"Si Kong Hengyu wiped the sweat from someone's head while saying in a low voice, "Master discovered today that your Yang Qi is extremely faint." He said lightly, "Have you found someone you like"

Ning Shuting's face flushed, her heart pounding.

He quickly denied, "There is no one I have a crush on."

Ning Shu only felt that he had no way to defend himself. He was silent for a while before mumbling, "There were just some accidents... so I ended up releasing my yuan yang..."

He said this with some silence, though inwardly he was filled with shame and awkwardness.

Si Kong Heng Yu remained silent for a while before saying, "Master does not blame you. I just want to know the reason."

He asked in a nonchalant tone.

But for Ning Shu, it was like a bomb had exploded. He looked dazed for a long time, licked his dry lips, and said with difficulty: "It's just that some things happened in the secret realm, but the disciple didn't fall into lust... It was just..."

He thought about the essence he had leaked, and his mood became a little heavy.

For Ning Shu, cultivating was never an easy feat. Of course, it was best not to leak the essence of Yuanyang, but now, he still had a frivolous image on the surface due to his actions at Shen Wu Zun's place.

My mood became increasingly heavy.

After a while, a voice came from above, cold and emotionless: “You care a lot about this leaking of your essence, don't you”

Ning Shu blushed and nodded.

Si Kong Hengyu remained silent.

Ning Shu raised her face, but saw the other person's pair of light silver eyes staring at her. These eyes were without temperature, yet incredibly beautiful. He stared for a while, and found it hard to look away.

But Si Kong Hengyu lowered his head slightly, staring at him and saying: "If I knew..."

The Divine Lord's expression was indifferent.

If you know, hold it back a little then. Leave it for the boy to enjoy in the future, and it might make him happy.

Ning Shu didn't know what Shen Wuzun was thinking.

He was captivated by Si Kong Hengyu's appearance. He didn't think the other person was as heartless and emotionless, as cold as ice, as the rumors claimed.

Perhaps this master-apprentice relationship is because Ning Shu is the other person's disciple.

But it is undeniable that the Divine Master, Shen Wuzun, is truly an excellent master.

Ning Shu remained silent for a long while, until he finally came back to his senses. His hair had been dried by the divine being, and now Si Kong Hengyu lowered his hand, gazing at him.

The young man couldn't help but glance over, his cheeks flushing.

Ning Shu felt like a child being taken care of by Si Kong Hengyu. As if sensing his embarrassment, Shen Wu Zun stood up and said, "I'm going back."

Ning Shu quickly got up: “Master, I’ll send you off.”

Sīkōng Hénɡ yùdào, chūmén qián de shíhòu. Mùguāng fā lǎi xiǎonián cháo hóng tuì qù de liǎn shàng, hóujiè wēidòng, yòu dào：“Nǐ jīnnián jí hé？”

Ningshu was confused and replied, "I'll be sixteen this year."

Si Kong Hengyu remained silent for a while before saying, "Master understands." He raised his hand to gently touch the young man's cheek, his eyes drooping slightly. "Go back."

Ning Shu nodded and didn't stop until she could no longer see Si Kong Hengyu's figure. Only then did she return to her room. She sat on the bed and stared blankly for a while.

How old is Si Kong Hengyu

Ning Shu was unclear, he only remembered the other party's teenage Golden Core. Over thirty years old Nascent Soul, no one knew where their current cultivation had reached.

Just as the teenager's mind was starting to wander, a sound rang out from outside the door again.

Ning Shu got up, a little puzzled. Could it be that her master had something to do and came back

He hesitated for a moment, but then opened the door.

To his surprise, it wasn't Si Kong Hengyu standing outside.

but Cang Ming instead.ed."Isn't it Mr. Li bothering you again" Ning Shu asked.Ning Rou shook her head, blushing and saying, "Thanks to the Young Marshal's help last time, he doesn't dare to come find me anymore.""What kind...
