"Don't teach recklessly and don't lead Zhiyu astray."

Lu Jin'an immediately saw through Qiu Qingtang's 'wicked intentions' and decisively stopped them.

Qiu Qingtang chuckled softly and teased, "On what grounds is Young Master Lu saying such things to me?"

Lu Jin'an turned to look at her, "For a seductive fox like you, Zhiyu needs to be guided slowly, step by step, which is the right way. The curiosity and doubts, and then teaching hand-in-hand during the process... this is the joy of the Mortal World."

Hearing this, Qiu Qingtang blinked her eyes, "Young Master Lu's tongue is so eloquent, you've really spoken right to my heart~"

Misleading an innocent and pure-minded young girl is indeed a delightful thing.

"But, I just wanted to help..."

"You are not allowed to teach her," Lu Jin'an said lightly, "That's the bottom line."

"Alright, but now..." Qiu Qingtang returned her gaze to the pool, "Now it's truly 'Young Master Lu fishing, whoever wishes may catch'~"

As she spoke, a glimmer of amazement flashed in her eyes. The hot spring here wasn't as deep as at Yun Meng Cliff, so even when Zhiyu's knees were on the ground, her tall, slender, athletic body remained uncovered.

Her long swan-like neck, broad shoulders, and pert hips, along with those long beautiful legs that seemed even longer and more astonishing due to her height...

The curves rose and fell like a snow python gliding through the water, giving a very strong visual impact.

More importantly, from Zhiyu's adeptness, it was clear that Lu Jin'an had long started this kind of 'education'.

Thinking of this, a thought popped into Qiu Qingtang's mind: had Lu Jin'an crossed the 'lower limit' because of Zhiyu, and hence was so open at Yun Meng Cliff...?

Could that be the reason?

Qiu Qingtang watched Zhiyu, who after mumbling "eat vegetarian" sat in Lu Jin'an's embrace. With the help of those unforgettable long legs, even while sitting, Zhiyu seemed to be towering over Lu Jin'an, giving the impression as if she was bullying him instead.

Especially with Zhiyu's tall frame, her blushing expression during the movements already showed hints of a seductive demeanor.

Qiu Qingtang pursed her cherry lips gently, scrutinizing closely, she looked forward to seeing what kind of expression Zhiyu would accidentally make if she accomplished a feat.

As she pondered, she heard Lu Jin'an suddenly say, "Your grandma annexed the Cui Family too. According to information, this battle exhausted the already scarce vitality and blood; I fear she doesn't have much time left."

Hearing this, the returned Qiu Qingtang softly said, "I know... She had no other options but to think of the Qiu Family.

Becoming a traitor wanting to defect, ultimately becoming a stepping stone for unifying the Fox Clan in Yu Yunzhou... She began planning this strategy when she agreed to let me come to Wandao Sect, I merely followed her wishes."

"Does she know that you know?"

"She doesn't know." Qiu Qingtang slipped off her embroidered shoes, pulled her long skirt aside, and sat by the pool, dipping her jade feet into the hot spring: "But I know her, so I came to Wandao Sect."

"According to your account, Yunshan State had long secretly sided with Zhu Tianqi, so in the end, you're planning to expose this matter, allowing the Fox Clan, which instinctively listens but doesn't obey, to overthrow Yunshan State after discovering this fact, and let you rise to power..." Lu Jin'an squinted slightly, reaching out to grasp Zhiyu's hands extended towards him, and seeing her joyful smile, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious about one thing, are you still someone who cares about power?"

"Of course, it's to be free to be naughty." Qiu Qingtang snorted lightly, "If I was restricted everywhere, how could I be naughty?

Just like if you hadn't become an Immortal and acted so wildly at Yun Meng Cliff, not to mention your Master, Sect Master Zheng would have set Yun Meng Cliff ablaze, and then you'd be reprimanded constantly... Would you have felt happy?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lu Jin'an chuckled, "Indeed, being controlled is truly not a good feeling."

"Right~" Qiu Qingtang lightly swayed her jade feet in the water, "However, I do have another purpose."

"What purpose?"

"You'll know in due time~" Qiu Qingtang placed her hand on Lu Jin'an's shoulder, "It will surely surprise you~"

A glimmer of amusement flickered in Lu Jin'an's eyes, "What a coincidence? I've also prepared a gift for you."

"What is it?" Qiu Qingtang asked curiously.

"You'll know later."

Qiu Qingtang thoughtfully glanced at him, thinking about what kind of gift he could prepare that would surpass her Pupil Skill?

However, she was indeed curious about the gift he had prepared...

Just as Qiu Qingtang was about to probe further, Pei Wanyu's voice suddenly echoed through the bamboo forest, carrying a hidden authority: "Come to Huangyu Palace!"

Master Pei seemed somewhat displeased that Lu Jin'an was indulging in sensual pleasures...

Thinking this, she couldn't help but glance towards Lu Jin'an, noting that the previously relaxed expression of Saint Heir Lu seemed a bit... tense upon hearing Pei Wanyu's voice?

"Could it be that Sect Master Pei is upset and won't let you touch, so you're secretly playing with Zhiyu here because of that?"

Qiu Qingtang's voice carried an interesting tone, "She's calling you now, what do you plan to do?"

Speaking, she meaningfully pointed towards Zhiyu's drowsy expression, "You wouldn't leave Zhiyu behind, right? Even though Zhiyu is silly, her instincts remain, if interrupted, she surely wouldn't be pleased, right?"

"I always cherish those dearest to me."

Lu Jin'an chuckled softly and suddenly stood up. Amidst Zhiyu's involuntary cry, their bodies were submerged in the splashing water.
