"Take care."

Ji Lianxing left the Imperial Music Bureau in a daze, feeling more and more uneasy the more she thought about it.
She originally wanted to persuade her disciple to come to her senses, so how did it end up with her not getting the Azure Darkness Seal and even sending her disciple off to someone else?
This kid managed to take everything without lifting a finger?
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that absolutely cannot be missed."
"But what about Manzhi and Shuishui..."
Ji Lianxing was deeply conflicted.
She wasn’t cold-blooded and unemotional. Watching the two grow up, her feelings for them had long surpassed those of ordinary master and disciple; calling them family would not be an exaggeration.
Yet reason told her that she still bore the deep-seated revenge and the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the sect.
"With Chen Mo’s connection to Tianshu Pavilion, perhaps this might be an opportunity for the Moon Brilliance Sect... After all, the Creation Gold Contract is not something that can be found quickly. For now, I need to keep an eye on him to prevent any tricks behind my back."
Moreover, she still worried about her two disciples...
Thinking this, Ji Lianxing stopped, her figure turning into a shadow, silently floating back once more.
...
...
In the bathroom.
A purple-gold light shimmered in Chen Mo’s eyes as he dismantled the array set up by Ji Lianxing one by one.
Then he meticulously inspected every inch, ensuring there were no oversights, before finally relaxing.
"You two, come here."
Chen Mo sat on a chair, calling out.
Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui walked over to him slowly, fiddling with their fingers, not daring to meet his gaze.
"I wondered why you two were acting so strange today, especially Little Hui, who used to avoid me like the plague, but this time invited me in herself..." Chen Mo said with a mixture of frustration and amusement, "And kept saying things like ’I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only offer myself’, really, that’s something!"
"..."
Ye Henshui’s face turned a bright red, her lips twitching as she stammered, "I had no choice... Master didn’t believe dual cultivation could elevate cultivation technique levels and was about to attack you... I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing..."
"So you decided to offer yourself in front of Ji Lianxing?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "And you too, Manzhi, you actually helped her with such nonsense?"
Gu Manzhi blinked her eyes, muttering softly, "It was going to happen sooner or later anyway..."
?
Chen Mo rubbed his temples.
It wasn’t that he was posing as some virtuous gentleman.
If Ji Lianxing hadn’t interrupted earlier, he would have been exploring the path of water by now.
But such things should happen naturally; being forced takes away the meaning... Moreover, doing it in front of Ji Lianxing just feels awkward no matter how you look at it...
"Mr. Chen, don’t blame the Holy Daughter. It was my own decision."
Ye Henshui grasped her undergarment with her delicate fingers, speaking in a low voice, "You saved my life, so compared to that, this is nothing..."
Then their palms slid down, gliding across his firm chest and well-defined abs...
"Lord, is the pressure okay?"
A tantalizing voice whispered in his ear.
Mr. Chen stood firm.
These paper puppets were refined by Gu Manzhi with her own essence blood, imbued with some of the Extreme Yin Body’s abilities, exuding a seductive aura with every move... With both at work, it was truly challenging to resist.
Splish—
Just then, a splash sounded beside him.
Shortly after, a tender and delicate body fell into his embrace.
Before he could react, he felt an indescribably soft, warm sensation...
"Hmm?"
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Ye Henshui was lying in his arms, her pale skin tinged with a faint pink, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, her agate eyes shimmering with ripples.
"Mr. Chen, this time it was very accurate."
?
Having completed their task, the two guides silently withdrew, concealing their contributions and fame.
The bathroom was left with only the two of them.
Looking at the white-haired girl before him, Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then helplessly said, "Why did you have to go this far?"
Ye Henshui gently placed her hands on his shoulders, her voice carrying a slight tremor, "Mr. Chen, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not out of gratitude, but... I genuinely wanted to try..."
