early in the morning.

When Qiao Nian woke up, she saw Lu Jue sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.

The young man was dressed in white, like a orchid and a jade tree, with a well-defined profile, holding a book in his hand, and looking down to read the book seriously, which has an otherworldly look.

Qiao Nian couldn't help feeling emotional, as expected of the male lead, he worked so hard early in the morning, even though he was so dissolute at night, it didn't make him indulge in beauty or affect his cultivation.

Perhaps because he noticed her gaze, Lu Jue turned his head to look at her. When meeting her gaze, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his tone was gentle: "Master, are you awake? How do you feel?"

While speaking, he closed the book in his hand, revealing the three large characters of "Qing Xin Jing" on it.

Qiao Nian's eyes fell on the title of the book: "...?"

I thought he was reading fairy books so seriously, but it turned out to be this kind of... comparable to Xiao Hwen's skills?

Still asking her how she feels in such a serious manner?

Can this be said?

Qiao Nian looked at Lu Jue's gentle and well-behaved face with a gentle smile, and was in a delicate mood for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Jue's smile stopped, looked at her eyes with some inquiry, and said: "Master, the seventh level has been practiced, have you not felt the change in cultivation?"

So he meant this!

This dual cultivation technique made him bewitched, so of course she didn't have much improvement in her cultivation.

Afraid that he might get suspicious, Qiao Nian coughed lightly, pretending to be unpredictable, and said: "This kind of kung fu will not fully recover until you finish practicing it."

Hearing this, Lu Jue nodded, without seeming to doubt her words at all.

He looked at her and said: "I've seen the remaining two layers, it's not difficult to practice, it's just..."

As he spoke, his expression showed some hesitation.

Qiao Nian didn't even understand how to practice on the seventh floor, let alone the remaining two floors, but he couldn't show it, so he just asked indifferently: "What's the problem?"

"The next practice needs to be done once a day, and it cannot be interrupted or disturbed, otherwise it is very easy to go crazy."

As he spoke, his tone paused slightly, his eyes darkened, and he suggested, "Master, for safety's sake, why don't you practice in seclusion?"

After hearing this, Qiao Nian said directly, "Yes."

She agreed so soon because she really thought it was a good idea. It could not only avoid Huo Yunting, but also ensure that the male lead would finish practicing the Qingxin Sutra before the Fairy Gate Conference.

When you come out of retreat, you can retire after completing the plot of backstabbing the male lead at the Fairy Gate Conference.

But when Lu Jue, the person who suggested it, heard her agree, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at her, his eyes were a little dark, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Master,...you trust me so much?"

If they were practicing in seclusion, then there would be only the two of them, and she had no cultivation level to be equal to a mortal, which meant... as long as he wanted, he could do whatever he wanted to her.

Just thinking about it will cause evil thoughts to grow in people's hearts, and it will be difficult to control those dangerous thoughts. They will completely occupy their master and make her belong to him only from body to heart.

He... didn't want to just be her apprentice.

Qiao Nian didn't know the sinister thoughts surging under his well-behaved surface, and just said "hmm" when he heard this, and didn't think it had anything to do with trust.

After all... In her eyes, Lu Jue is just like a simple and beautiful kitten, well-behaved and obedient, and also very dependent on her, making people not at all vigilant.

But what surprised her was that Lu Jue seemed to be moved by her trust, and his eyes seemed to be a little red.

"you……"

Lu Jue tried his best to control the turbulent evil thoughts in his body, but as long as he thought that he would be alone with his master for the next few days, no one would disturb him, and they could do all the intimate things, his eyes would be so excited.Slightly reddened.

Afraid of being seen by her, Lu Jue leaned over and hugged her, slightly lowered his eyelids, his voice sounded calm and gentle: "Master, I will definitely not let down your trust."

Although it's a pity that he can't just take the opportunity to lock her up and belong to him alone, but... other than that, there are many things that can be done.

Maybe...it would make her like him a little more.

Qiao Nian felt a little guilty when he heard the young man's sincere words, so he didn't speak.

But she would betray his trust.

Once he has reached the last level, he will definitely leak his demonic energy when he exercises at the Fairy Gate Conference. Even if the heroine will come to save him, he will inevitably suffer a lot.

The place Qiao Nian chose to practice is in the secret realm deep in Fuyu Mountain.

This secret realm can only be opened with Cheng Wu's token, and she doesn't have to worry about someone breaking in.

She left Ao Yan to watch the house outside, and if Huo Yunting came, Ao Yan would take care of it for her.

On the same day, Qiao Nian led Lu Jue into the secret realm.

This secret place is not too big, there is a dense forest, at the end of the dense forest is a deep pool, beside the pool is a delicate and clean bamboo house.

This bamboo house was their residence during this time.

The room is very clean, and there is a faint fragrance of bamboo, but there is nothing but a bed, after all, this is a place for cultivation, and there is no need for anything else.

Qiao Nian felt a little annoyed in her heart, she knew that she had brought some food and drink and hid them, otherwise this period of time would have been too difficult.

At this time, Lu Jue's voice sounded from the side: "Master, please wait a moment, I will arrange the room."

Qiao Nian: "Okay."

Qiao Nian originally thought that the layout Lu Jue mentioned was just adding a table, chairs and benches, but when she saw something he took out from the storage ring, she was stunned.

For those who practice immortality, furnishing a house is a matter of seconds.

Under Lu Jue's arrangement, the bamboo house, which could be called impoverished, suddenly became gorgeous and warm.

From tables and chairs, tea cups to red candles and red bed curtains, everything exudes a noble atmosphere.

Qiao Nian was stunned: "Where did you get the money?"

Lu Jue looked at her and said, "The faction earns money by doing missions."

Qiao Nian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Jue would secretly go out to make money besides practicing. It seems that he made a lot of money.

She looked at the plates of exquisite snacks on the table in the room with satisfaction, and then looked elsewhere, only to gradually realize that this room...is it a little too festive?

Qiao Nian looked at Lu Jue suspiciously: "...do you like red?"

Lu Jue paused, looked at her, and said softly: "The red clothes that Shizun chose for me when I was in the mortal world, I thought... Shizun likes this color, is it... I misunderstood?"

As he said that, he looked at her a little carefully, as if as long as she said she didn't like it, he would put away all the red things in the house.

Qiao Nian didn't want the house to return to what it was before, and he didn't want to let him down, so he said "hmm", but looking at the festive house, he still felt a little weird in his heart.

It always feels... like getting married.

Just when this thought crossed her mind, a beautiful wedding dress with radiance suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Qiao Nian's expression froze, and when she looked up, she saw the handsome young man who had changed into a red dress in the blink of an eye, holding the wedding dress in front of her eyes.

Qiao Nian: "...?"

Only then did she realize that Lu Jue...had arranged the room like this on purpose.

But as if he was afraid that she would be angry, Lu Jue knelt down holding the wedding dress, looked at her, and said with a sad expression: "Master, I know that you have an engagement with the young master, but you still touched the master, even if it's justFor the sake of cultivation, I also feel that I have committed a heinous crime, I am very sorry for the young master, and dare not face him."

Qiao Nian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. The original book didn't mention how guilty Lu Jue and Shizun Shuangxiu would feel towards Huo Yunting, as if they hadn't considered the other party's marriage contract at all.

But Lu Jue didn't look like he was lying, no wonder he was always very silent in front of Huo Yunting, did he feel ashamed of him?

But she is not Huo Yunting's real fiancée, she can't empathize with Lu Jue at all, she coughed lightly, and said: "Sooner or later, my engagement with him will be broken, you don't have to do that."

Lu Jue stared at her with dark eyes, and said: "Isn't it unresolved? I can't deceive myself like this, so..." He had a somewhat anxious and expectant expression, "Master, can we... get married?"?”

Qiao Nian looked at him in shock, subconsciously said: "No!"

Hearing this, Lu Jue's eyes were strangely dark, but when he looked at her, his eyes trembled slightly, a little hurt, and his voice lowered: "Why?"

Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment, and said coldly, "I am your master, how can we get married?"

Lu Jue raised his eyes to look at her, he was silent for a moment, his voice was rare cold, and said: "Master has already touched me, don't you intend to take responsibility?"

Qiao Nian was taken aback, but before she could figure out how to refuse, there was a flower in front of her eyes, and in an instant, the beautiful wedding dress was already on her body that could not be refused.

"Lu..." Her face darkened slightly.

At this time, Lu Jue suddenly hugged her, pushed her against the door, looked at her face very closely, and leaned over to kiss her lips before she finished speaking.

She reached out to push him away, but the next moment his wrist was pressed against the door. He looked at her with dark eyes, but his tone was lonely and sad: "Master...you really don't like me at all."?"

Qiao Nian didn't look at his swaying innocent eyes, and said, "If you don't like it, let go."

I thought that if she said this, Lu Jue would be obedient, but Lu Jue clasped her wrist even tighter.

She looked up in astonishment, and met his dark and deep eyes. His kiss fell suddenly, scorching hot, but gentle and lingering.I like it, but...Master likes...on, am I always right? Last night, Master, but..."

Meeting his eyes, Qiao Nian's cheeks became hot, and she covered his lips: "...!"

What the hell are you talking about!
