The feeling at this moment is very complicated, and I can't tell what it feels like. It's just that when he looked at Qiangwei at this time, not only did he not feel surprised or seduced, he just felt like laughing. He wanted to open his mouth to let out a wild laugh, but fortunately he held back, otherwise the character design of Xuanqing Jianzun would collapse.
But he really couldn't make other expressions at this time, so he could only look at Qiangwei expressionlessly.
Qiangwei has already tried her best. Although she is an elder of the Hehuan Sect, she has not done much research on this aspect because she has always disdained to seduce male double cultivators to increase her cultivation base. The only thing she knows is that she was forced to learn by her master when she was young and weak, and this is only the most elementary level.
I heard that the Hehuan Sect compiled these elementary things into an album and took them to the mortal world for the disciples of the outer sect to sell them. Qiangwei regretted it very much at this time, if she had listened to Master's words and studied hard, then she would not need to use some mortal tricks to seduce Master Xuanqing now.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, Tao Ran said sincerely: "Don't worry about me, you go ahead, it's good to exercise your muscles and bones."
"..." I'm not exercising...
Qiangwei sat up exhausted and tidied up her clothes. She felt aggrieved and said, "Jianzun, you have to listen to me, the Devil Emperor really won't exchange your apprentice for me."
Tao Ran sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that as long as you don't like the Devil Emperor, even if my cheap apprentice never comes back, I will let you go. There were thousands of words in his heart, but Tao Ran couldn't utter them, so he could only comfort him: "You don't have to worry, I will definitely protect you."
What Sword Master Xuanqing said is naturally worth believing. But what Qiangwei is worried about is not just that she will be in danger in Penglai, she is afraid that if she does not get along with the Devil Emperor and He Wan day and night, she will really fall in love with He Wan sooner or later. Even if I go back by then, it will be too late.
She has practiced for many years, and has seen countless kinds of men in the Hehuan Sect since she was a child. These men all have a common problem, that is, lust. She hates these people very much, so no matter how hard she suffers, she is unwilling to choose easy double cultivation to improve her cultivation. She thought that she would never have feelings for a man in this life, until she was summoned into the magic palace and met that superior man.
The man was more handsome than any man she had ever seen, and he never showed any interest in women. Qiangwei couldn't help but be attracted to him, but she didn't dare to express it because of his bad sexiness. Only now did I realize that he wasn't a bad womanizer, he just wasn't interested in himself.
Qiangwei sat in the formation blankly, looked at Xuan Qing who was reading seriously, and suddenly said: "Sword Master."
Tao Ran tilted his head slightly, Qiangwei said: "Are you really as cold and heartless as the rumors say?"
Neither the original owner nor Tao Ran is a heartless person, but admitting that he has feelings is a bit out of character. So Tao Ran shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Qiangwei looked at Tao Ran, and suddenly said: "Actually, you really have no feelings, otherwise how could you be so cruel to your only apprentice."
Tao Ran was puzzled, where did he show his indifference to He Wan
"Do you think you are saving your apprentice by arresting me? I said earlier that the Devil Emperor would never send your apprentice back. My cultivation base is far lower than yours. You can tell the truth from the falsehood. But you But she just didn’t listen to me, and insisted on waiting for the devil emperor to send your apprentice back, do you know what she will experience in the devil’s palace?”
Of course I know, Tao Ran said with a blank face: "The aggressive method doesn't work against the poor."
"You..." Qiangwei panicked, "Who used aggressive methods on you?"
Tao Ran thought that Qiangwei's conspiracy had been exposed, so he became angry from embarrassment. He ignored her, turned around and picked up the guqin, and then a calming sound of the piano wafted out.
Qiangwei immediately felt a sharp toothache, this stinky Taoist was either practicing or playing the piano all day long. What's the difference between being so boring and being dead? Why not just die.
At this time, she was angry and desperate, and she didn't pay much attention to her words. She hated Tao Ran's playing the piano and said directly: "Smelly Taoist priest, stop playing, it sounds terrible, and if I listen to it again, I will go crazy."
Tao Ran paused, thinking how could it be unpleasant? Doesn't she like this piece? Thinking about it, he changed a song, which was more calming, and Tao Ran felt that Qiangwei would definitely not be so irritable after listening to it.
Unexpectedly, after Qiangwei heard this, she almost exploded with anger. What's the meaning? Don't think I play badly, but think I'm irritable? Qiangwei looked at Tao Ran, gritted her teeth, "Stop playing, it's even worse, do you think everyone likes to hear you play the piano?"
Tao Ran paused for a moment, and suddenly his style changed. Changing from the quiet and misty before, the sound of the piano is more rhythmic and the melody is richer. Qiangwei felt this change for the first time, the song didn't sound so manic, and it had a lingering feeling. Qiangwei was stunned on the spot, this song brought back her sadness.
It was as if he had returned to the Demon Palace, and in the garden, he saw the always serious Demon Emperor smiling happily at the righteous woman. Even if that righteous woman was very rude to him, he didn't care. The kind of sweetness that one person likes, and the bitterness of not getting a response...
It's just a song, Qiangwei's eyes are already hazy with tears.
Tao Ran put his hands on the strings and said, "So you like this kind of music."
Qiangwei slanted on the ground and said, "What song is this?"
"I learned it from the mortal world." Tao Ran said, "It's a very vulgar song."
Qiangwei's tears hung on her eye sockets, and when they fell immediately, she didn't take them back or...
Tao Ran said: "If you don't like elegant ancient songs, you should have said it earlier, why bother to say it's ugly?"
"..." Qiangwei wiped away her tears, thinking how could there be such an annoying person in the world? Fortunately, he didn't go out often, otherwise he would have been beaten to death when he was a child, and he would never have the chance to grow into Xuanqing Sword Master.
Tao Ran didn't know the slander in her heart, he just thought she liked this. So I started to play some popular songs he had heard on the guqin, and the effect was really good, because Qiangwei listened very carefully, look at her serious little expression...
Qiangwei is also very entangled, because these songs are really good, but Xuan Qing calls these good songs vulgar mortal songs. If she admits that she likes to listen, she is indirectly admitting that she is a vulgar person. But because she really liked it, she didn't want to interrupt Tao Ran.
So I could only frown and listen in confusion...
When Tao Ran and Qiangwei were happily exchanging music together, He Wan who was far away in the magic palace was in great pain. She felt that the devil emperor was as arrogant and unreasonable as the rumors said, and the demon cultivator was indeed a demon cultivator. Why didn't Master come to save me? This disciple really can't take it anymore...
When the Devil Emperor saw He Wan, he had a very strange feeling. He felt that if he needed someone to accompany him throughout the years, then that person should be He Wan. But what troubled him was that He Wan didn't think so. He Wan was very afraid of him, and could even be said to hate him.
When he walked into the garden, He Wan was staring at a bunch of flowers in a daze.
He walked over and took the initiative to speak: "Do you like this kind of flower?"
He Wan bit her lip and said, "When will you send me back to Penglai?"
The Devil Emperor refused coldly: "I will never send you to Penglai."
"But your left protector is in Penglai now." He Wan said, "Aren't you going to save her?"
The Devil Emperor said with a cold face: "It's just a Dharma protector, I can find another one, but you can't, you must stay by my side."
He Wan was stunned, she hated the Devil Emperor even more. Even his loyal subordinates can give up as soon as they want, which shows how ruthless this kind of person is. Compared with him, Master is simply too humane.
On the one hand, He Wan was very angry, but on the other hand, she couldn't do anything about it. With her Golden Core stage cultivation, she can't even beat the gatekeeper in this demon palace. Even if the devil emperor is not in the demon palace, she has no possibility of escaping. Now I can only hope that the master will come to save me soon, I will definitely go crazy if I stay in the magic palace any longer.
Tao Ran, who was far away in Penglai, didn't know that his apprentice was going crazy, he thought that He Wan and the Devil Emperor were loving each other in the magic palace. Xin said that they must be given more time to make their relationship more stable, and then gradually let Qiangwei leave.
He Wan didn't know that she was tricked by her master, she stayed in the magic palace every day, waiting for her master to come down from the sky and save her back to Penglai. From now on, she will never leave Master again, and must be inseparable from Master every day.
Seeing that He Wan ignored him, the Devil Emperor thought that everyone is a cultivator anyway. The days to come are still long, and he has plenty of time to make He Wan fall in love with him. So he took off a flower, forced He Wan to put it on her head, and said softly: "I have something to do, I will come to accompany you when I am done."
You better be busy for ten thousand years!
He Wan cursed the Devil Emperor in her heart, thinking in frustration, even if the Devil Emperor wasn't around, she couldn't escape. Uncomfortable, she took off the flowers on her head and threw them on the ground, and then trampled them to pieces with her feet. Still angry after that, she turned around and uprooted the cluster of flowers, and then crazily stomped and crushed it, as if what was under her feet was not the flowers, but the disgusting face of the Devil Emperor.
"Miss He."
"Who?" He Wan turned her head, "Who is calling me?"
"It's me." A masked person appeared behind He Wan and said, "Miss He, do you want to leave the Demon Palace and return to Penglai?"
"Of course I do." He Wan said, "What do you mean by asking me?"
"I can send the girl back to Penglai, I just ask the girl to help me with one thing after she goes back."
He Wan: "What's the matter?"
"Please Sword Master Xuanqing let me go, Qiangwei, the elder of the Hehuan Sect."
He Wan: "You mean... Guardian Zuo?"
"Yes, it's her, can you promise me?"
"Of course." He Wan rushed over and took her hand and said, "Take me away quickly."
The man said: "The devil emperor is meeting the people from the Soul Refining Sect now, and he has no time to take care of you. Take this opportunity to leave quickly, otherwise there will be no chance again."
