The Flame Wind-Chasing Colts had fire on their hooves as they pulled the luxurious carriage, galloping through the clouds.
Inside the carriage, Su Yuexi displayed a “talent” and “passion” in the game of “turning the tables” that far exceeded Lu Ning’s imagination.
That black chain, engraved with blood-red runes, made all of Lu Ning’s resistance futile.
It not only imprisoned Lu Ning’s cultivation, but also possessed a strange attribute that seemed to amplify every tiny sensation in her body countless times over.
Su Yuexi held Lu Ning tightly in her arms.
Her gentle and beautiful face currently wore a demonic, playful smirk.
“Master, I still prefer how you tried so hard to resist before…”
It was not until the carriage arrived before the towering mountain gates of the Tianmo Sect that Su Yuexi reluctantly retracted the black chain from Lu Ning’s body.
The “cultivation” during this journey had made Lu Ning feel as though she had completely lost control over her own body.
The final part of the experience, in particular, had left her mentally and physically exhausted.
She now only wanted to have a good sleep and think of nothing else.
“My dear Master, we have arrived at the Tianmo Sect.”
Su Yuexi’s voice rang in Lu Ning’s ear, pulling her back from her drowsy state.
Lu Ning slowly opened her heavy eyelids and saw the familiar, massive mountain gate through the carriage window.
The Tianmo Sect.
She was back.
“Come, your disciple will serve you while you change.”
As Su Yuexi spoke, she took a set of black Sect Master robes out of her storage ring, which she had prepared in advance.
The style of the robes was identical to what Lu Ning had worn before, embroidered with intricate demonic patterns in dark gold silk.
It looked both majestic and luxurious.
Su Yuexi began to dress Lu Ning without allowing any room for argument, helping her disguise herself as a man once more.
After all, the Sect Master of the Tianmo Sect had always maintained a male image to the outside world.
When the robes symbolizing the status of the Tianmo Sect’s leader were placed back on Lu Ning, the majesty and aura belonging to a titan of the demonic path seemed to return to her.
Su Yuexi looked at the “masterpiece” she had dressed with her own hands, and a flash of admiration flickered in her eyes.
However, she quickly suppressed that emotion.
Immediately after, she took out the Recording Stone that made Lu Ning’s teeth itch with hatred and waved it in front of her face.
“My dear Master, you must remember this.”
A “kind” smile appeared on Su Yuexi’s face.
“It is best if you do not let your dear disciple, Gu Qinghuan, know about the things that happened between us. Otherwise…” She paused, the curve of her lips rising further.
“She will get to find out even more.”
Lu Ning trembled with rage as she listened to the blatant threat, yet she was powerless.
She knew that as long as that Recording Stone remained in the other woman’s hands, she would never be able to stand tall.
At that moment, a figure appeared outside the carriage as silently as a ghost.
The newcomer was Gu Qinghuan.
She had sensed Lu Ning’s aura and had come out from the sect immediately to investigate.
Looking at the carriage stopped before the mountain gate, her cool eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Master!”
Gu Qinghuan’s voice trembled slightly.
Inside the carriage, Su Yuexi’s lips curled into a smirk when she heard the voice.
She made a “please” gesture toward Lu Ning.
“My dear Master, your little disciple has come to pick you up.”
Lu Ning took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the exhaustion in her heart.
Her face regained the composure belonging to the Sect Master of the Tianmo Sect.
Supporting her body, which felt as though it were falling apart, she slowly stepped down from the carriage.
The moment she stepped out, the disciples guarding the gate of the Tianmo Sect erupted in excitement.
“It is the Sect Master! The Sect Master has returned!”
“Welcome back, Sect Master!”
The mountain-shaking cheers echoed through the clouds.
When Gu Qinghuan saw the familiar figure, she could no longer restrain her emotions.
She rushed forward instantly, wanting to embrace the figure she had thought about day and night, just as she had in the past.
However, this time, Lu Ning discreetly shifted her body and avoided the hug.
Gu Qinghuan froze in place, a flash of bewilderment appearing in her cool eyes.
“Qinghuan.”
“Watch your behavior and words. You must not lose your sense of etiquette.”
Looking at Lu Ning’s cold face, a strange sense of loss welled up in Gu Qinghuan’s heart.
‘Master seems to have changed.’
She had become even more majestic than before, but also more distant.
Before she could figure it out, a gentle and pleasant voice drifted out from the carriage.
“Sister Qinghuan, I have missed you dearly since we last met.”
Su Yuexi also slowly stepped down from the carriage.
She looked at Gu Qinghuan with a smile on her face.
“Sect Leader Su?”
The moment Gu Qinghuan saw Su Yuexi, her brows furrowed tightly.
Why was this woman with her Master?
Furthermore, she could clearly sense an aura from Su Yuexi that was far more powerful and profound than before.
Gu Qinghuan was instantly filled with vigilance.
“Sister Qinghuan, I trust you have been well.”
Su Yuexi walked up to Gu Qinghuan and performed an elegant salute.
“Thanks to Sect Master Lu’s guidance, I was lucky enough to break through my bottleneck. I have come this time for two reasons: first, to escort Sect Master Lu back to the sect, and second, to express my gratitude for his guidance.”
Her words sounded sincere, but Gu Qinghuan saw a deep-seated trace of triumph in the depths of those gentle eyes.
‘This woman definitely has a problem!’
Alarm bells rang in Gu Qinghuan’s heart.
She had an intuition that during the days her Master spent at Baihuagu, something she didn’t know about had definitely happened.
And that something must be related to the woman in front of her!
Just as she was about to question her, Su Yuexi seemed to see through her thoughts and spoke first.
“Sister Qinghuan, now that Sect Master Lu has returned safely to the sect, a heavy weight has been lifted from my heart. However, Baihuagu is currently surrounded by those so-called righteous forces, so I must return as quickly as possible to handle the situation.”
A “helpless” bitter smile appeared on Su Yuexi’s face.
“But do not worry, Sister. I have already lured those flies toward Baihuagu. Next, the Tianmo Sect only needs to release the news of Sect Master Lu’s return, and those righteous forces will likely not dare to act rashly again.”
She paused and added one more thing.
“Of course, if those people do not know what is good for them and truly dare to attack Baihuagu, I hope you will send some experts to support us, considering the help I provided this time.”
Su Yuexi’s words were both an explanation and a subtle way of claiming credit.
Although Gu Qinghuan was unhappy, she had to admit that Su Yuexi had indeed done them a great favor.
“Rest assured, Sect Leader Su.”
Gu Qinghuan’s voice was icy.
“The Tianmo Sect has always been clear about its debts and favors. I will remember this favor.”
“That is good, then.” Su Yuexi smiled with satisfaction.
She turned her head and took a deep look at Lu Ning, who had remained silent from beginning to end.
A hint of reluctance and playfulness flashed in her eyes.
“Sect Master Lu, I look forward to our next meeting. I hope that next time, you can give me even more surprises.”
After saying that, she did not linger.
With a wave of her jade-like hand, the space in front of her was instantly torn apart, revealing a pitch-black spatial rift.
Su Yuexi stepped into it, and her figure vanished instantly.
The luxurious carriage and the Flame Wind-Chasing Colts also turned into a streak of light and entered the rift.
Watching the spatial rift slowly heal, Lu Ning’s teeth itched with rage.
That enchantress clearly had the ability to tear through space and travel thousands of miles in an instant, yet she insisted on using a carriage to drag her along and “cultivate” for 1 full day and 1 full night!
Her goal was as clear as day!
While Lu Ning was secretly cursing in her heart, a cold hand quietly took hold of hers.
Gu Qinghuan’s cold and beautiful face leaned close to her, and those cool eyes were now filled with suspicion.
“Master.”
“During those days you were at Baihuagu, what exactly happened between you and that woman, Su Yuexi?”
