Chapter 392: The Shyness of Saintess Yao Yao

"Master, it's not that I, as your Disciple, am trying to criticize you."

"Since you have already set your sights on Qin Xuan, you should take the initiative."

"Today is not what it used to be. In the past, Qin Xuan needed to rely on the Yaochi Sacred Land, but now, it is our Yaochi Sacred Land that is basking in Qin Xuan's glory. Even you, the Holy Master of Yaochi, are no longer a match for Qin Xuan in a single exchange."

Seeing the look of melancholy on her Master's face, Su Youyu probed softly.

Upon hearing this, Saintess Yao Yao turned around, her cheeks flushed red as she retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting again?"

Su Youyu mustered her courage and countered, "How am I spouting nonsense? You used your Natural Charm Physique on Qin Xuan in public. Others might not have noticed, but as your Disciple who has lived with you for years, how could I not see the signs?"

"It's not surprising, after all, even someone as noble as my eldest sister now has an ambiguous relationship with Qin Xuan."

"It is only because Qin Xuan's ambitions lie beyond this world that he hasn't done so. Otherwise, a femme fatale like you, Master, would have been taken into his harem eight hundred years ago."

She actually didn't mind if her Master had an intimate relationship with Qin Xuan.

On the contrary, she was looking forward to it happening.

After all, Qin Xuan had so many confidantes that she couldn't even count them on one hand.

Ordinarily, even if she wanted to compete for his attention, she would break her head trying and still struggle to get in.

But if she could pull her Master into the same camp, things would be different.

Not to mention anything else, the mere words 'Natural Charm Physique' were enough to make Qin Xuan linger and forget to leave.

By then, as the Saintess who could freely enter and exit the main Peak of Yaochi, wouldn't she be able to see Qin Xuan whenever she wanted?

As long as she seized the opportunity, she wouldn't have to worry about her connection with Qin Xuan being severed.

"What do you know?"

Saintess Yao Yao no longer reprimanded Su Youyu, but sighed mournfully, "Everything stems from the heavenly secrets uncovered by your Grandmaster."

"Your Grandmaster once said that the Yaochi Sacred Land would reach its Peak under the leadership of me, who possesses the Natural Charm Physique. However, if after resolving the crisis of Yaochi, I do not surrender myself to the one who saved the crumbling structure, it is destined to lead to the decline of the Yaochi Sacred Land once again."

"I have already made changes, yet reality remains the same. Very well, after matters here are concluded, I will head to the Land of Fallen Emperors to enter seclusion and will not come out again. By then, you will take over the Yaochi Sacred Land."

The moment Saintess Yao Yao thought about having to throw herself into Qin Xuan's arms, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

One must know, back then, Qin Xuan had deliberately taken advantage of her.

She had even pretended to be indifferent, maintaining an air of high-mindedness.

And now, she was expected to humble herself to curry favor with a man?

How was that any different from the fate of the Natural Charm Physique she despised?

It would be better to enter the Land of Fallen Emperors and find peace in seclusion.

Su Youyu said indignantly, "Since Grandmaster uncovered the heavenly secrets back then, how could it be something you can simply avoid, Master?"

"The Yaochi Sacred Land is not only the lifeblood of our predecessors, but also your life's work, Master!"

Saintess Yao Yao kept a straight face, "Matters have reached this point, and Qin Xuan has already gone to the Hongmeng Continent. How do you expect me to defy the heavens and change my fate?"

"How am I like that monster, capable of suppressing the God Realm at will and crossing the chasm that even the Heavenly God Realm cannot cross?"

A flicker of cunning flashed in Su Youyu's eyes, "Then if Qin Xuan were still in this world, would you be able to take the initiative, Master?"

Swish—Saintess Yao Yao's angry gaze locked onto Su Youyu.

Ripples stirred in her eyes, and in her fury, her full chest began to heave violently as she scolded, "Su Youyu, how dare you try to trick me?"

She finally realized it. Qin Xuan had not left this world at all.

Everything was a deliberate deception by Su Youyu. She did it to make her feel that the situation was set and that there was no need to hide her inner thoughts.

She truly had not expected that the cautious and meticulous Su Youyu would one day be bold enough to deceive her!

Su Youyu pouted and muttered aggrievedly, "I just didn't want you to continue being all alone, Master. Besides, you are gifted and hold a high status; apart from Qin Xuan, who else could be worthy of you?"

"Not to mention, your relationship with Qin Xuan was instructed by the Grandmaster, which is equivalent to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers."

Saintess Yao Yao kept a straight face and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

At the angry shout, Su Youyu was so scared that she immediately turned to leave. One should not touch a tiger's backside. She had suffered before and dared not say anything more while her Master was in a fit of rage.

Just then, a playful voice rang out in Saintess Yao Yao's room, "What's this? I just arrived, and you're already telling me to get out? Holy Master, aren't you being a bit too heartless?"

Qin Xuan sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea as if he were at home, and drank it in one gulp. Revisiting an old place. Recalling the past, when he was in Saintess Yao Yao's residence, he had racked his brains just to steal a kiss from this woman with the Natural Charm Physique. He hadn't expected that in such a short time, sitting in the same spot again, his mindset would have undergone such earth-shaking changes.

Seeing the uninvited Qin Xuan, Su Youyu knew that what she had hoped for was likely to come true, and she said with a joyful expression, "Well, Qin Xuan, Master, you two chat slowly, I'll take my leave."

Qin Xuan shook his head, "Why leave? Just stay together; you're not an outsider."

A smile played on the corners of his lips, his eyes carrying a flirtatious glint as he cast a playful glance at the graceful Saintess Yao Yao and said softly, "Holy Master, I came here this time because I have something to discuss. Why don't you take a seat first?"

Saintess Yao Yao looked at Qin Xuan's ill-intentioned gaze, feeling a bit apprehensive. Yet, she had no choice but to smooth her dress and sit down opposite Qin Xuan.

"Have a cup of tea first to moisten your throat." Qin Xuan stepped forward, poured a cup of tea for Saintess Yao Yao, and then, in one smooth motion, sat down beside her.

He reached out, placed his hand on Saintess Yao Yao's soft, boneless hand, and said softly, "Holy Master, you may not know this, but recently, chaos has been rampant within the Ziyang Empire. Without the suppression of the Ziyang Imperial Family, countless aristocratic clans, demons, and monsters below have all begun to run wild, slaughtering the common people and harming living beings. A country cannot go a day without a ruler, and this land also cannot be without someone to preside over it."

"I intend to ask the Holy Master to take charge of the overall situation. I wonder, Holy Master, what are your thoughts?"

Saintess Yao Yao's beautiful lips twitched slightly. What thoughts could she have? She only hoped that Qin Xuan wouldn't be so excessive! Touching her palm in front of Su Youyu. Wasn't this deliberately undermining her dignity as the Holy Master?

"Everything is up to your decision. If necessary, my Yaochi Disciples can station themselves in all directions to prevent the situation from further deteriorating."

As Saintess Yao Yao answered, a blush appeared on her cheeks involuntarily, and taking advantage of Su Youyu's distraction, she raised her hand and slapped away Qin Xuan's large hand.

Qin Xuan did not mind. After his hand was slapped away, he didn't try to grab Saintess Yao Yao's small hand again, but instead, in one smooth motion, wrapped his arm around her slender, willow-like waist, which was barely a handful yet appeared curvaceous.

"Mm!" Catching a glimpse of this scene, Su Youyu hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands and, peeking through the gaps between her fingers, emphasized, "Master, your Disciple didn't see anything."
