Boom-!

Although he shouted, Daoist Xuanji still didn’t stop. After her knee hit his thighs, she pushed forward and pressed him against the wall.

Clatter!

The movements in the kitchen abruptly stopped.

Ye Jingtang’s wrists were grabbed, but he didn’t resist or struggle anymore.

Daoist Xuanji held Ye Jingtang’s hands. Her beautiful face was as cold as frost. Although she had to raise her head to look up, her eyes revealed an unparalleled sharpness. It was as if she was standing on a io,ooo-foot-high peak and looking down at a mortal ant.

Ye Jingtang lowered his head and looked at her beautiful face inches away from him. He originally felt that this posture was inappropriate and wanted to get up. But when he felt the cold killing intent coming from the opposite side, he remained still, looking slightly puzzled. “Miss Shui’er, you…”

Clang!

It was the sound of a saber being unsheathed.

Daoist Xuanji flipped her wrist slightly, pulled out the saber from Ye Jingtang’s waist, and pressed it against his chest. She said in an indifferent and emotionless voice, “1 have been conferred the title of imperial teacher, and it is my duty to safeguard Great Wei’s imperial lineage. It was my dereliction of duty to let you, a little thief, slip through to the Prince of Jing’s side. Today, 1 will kill you, a bold traitor, on behalf of the Imperial Court…”

???

Ye Jingtang’s eyes were full of confusion. He raised his left hand slightly and pinched the saber that was about to press against his neck. “Miss Shui’er, what do you mean by that? You know my identity…”

“Of course 1 know.” Daoist Xuanji’s eyes were like two sharp blades as she stared into Ye Jingtang’s eyes. “You are the beloved general of the Prince of Jing, the current young master of the Red Flower Pavilion, and the lover of the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. You’re riding on three ships at once. You’re really capable!”

Ye Jingtang had taught Dumdum the Overlord Spear, and she frequently practiced it. He wasn’t surprised that Daoist Xuanji knew about the identity of the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion.

But the lover of a rebel leader…

Ye Jingtang glanced at the inn outside and then at Daoist Xuanji, who was emitting a murderous aura. “Miss, have you met Ning’er?”

“Ning’er? You call her so intimately.” Daoist Xuanji pressed Ye Jingtang back and said coldly, “The Prince of Jing trusts you so much. I didn’t expect you to be a spy sent by rebels to the capital…”

Ye Jingtang knew that there would be a day when the three ships would capsize, but he didn’t expect Daoist Xuanji’s ship to capsize first. He moved his saber slightly, indicating for her to calm down. “Miss Shui’er, you’ve misunderstood. I’m definitely not a spy from the Pacifying Heaven Cult—” “You’re sleeping with the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult, yet you still dare to say that you’re not from Pacifying Heaven Cult?”

Ye Jingtang blinked, slightly baffled. “I’m sleeping with the cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. How can 1 be from Pacifying Heaven Cult?”

H ii

Daoist Xuanji blinked and felt that it made sense. Even if he were originally from the Pacifying Heaven Cult, after having an affair with the cult mistress, he definitely wasn’t now. This accusation was totally untenable…

Daoist Xuanji thought for a moment and continued, “The Pacifying Heaven Cult Master is gay. You’re so handsome, so you might be Xue Baijin’s male companion.”

Ye Jingtang felt that Miss Shui’er’s thoughts were really fresh and refined. He said solemnly, “Miss Shui’er, do 1 look like I like men?”

This time, Daoist Xuanji nodded decisively. “A few days ago, when 1 was hugging you, you didn’t react at all. You didn’t seem like a normal man at all. And now, we’re so close, but there are no ripples in your eyes…”

??

Ye Jingtang was speechless and spread his hands slightly. “1 was afraid of ruining your innocence. Is it wrong to lay still and remain calm? Besides, you hit my acupoint and immobilized me. 1 can move now. Why don’t you try rubbing against me? Besides, you’re holding a saber to my neck. Do you expect me to be distracted?”

“Since you’re so calm, why did you touch Luo Ning?”

“Doesn’t this prove that I’m as lecherous as ordinary men? 1 was a wild kid who just came from the border. When 1 met the number one beauty in Jianghu, some impulses were inevitable…”

Daoist Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly. “You’re uncharacteristically impulsive in front of Luo Ning, but your heart is as still as water in front of me?”

??

Ye Jingtang felt that Daoist Xuanji wasn’t here to catch a mole. It was more like she was finding fault with him for being unmoved by beauty last time…

“Miss, you’re devastatingly beautiful, and your charm is unparalleled in the world. The reason why my reactions are inconsistent is that when I first came to the capital, 1 hadn’t seen the world. Later, as I gained more experience, 1 learned to suppress my instincts in my heart. I paid attention to propriety to avoid making you unhappy…”

“In other words, during my act of urgency, you had evil intentions in your heart?”

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth and said helplessly, “Appetite and lust are human nature. They stem from desire but stop at decorum. My lack of reaction was out of courtesy, but the waves in my heart were out of instinct. Miss, you were hugging me, but 1 was able to remain as still as a mountain when you were asleep. This is already impeccable behavior. A man who can be calmer than me either has a hidden illness or doesn’t like women. If you insist on finding faults, 1 have nothing to say.”

Daoist Xuanji actually felt that there was nothing wrong with Ye Jingtang. It was really far-fetched to say that he was an undercover agent from the Pacifying Heaven Cult, so she stopped interrogating him. She inserted the saber back and slowly retreated. “It’s just because you’re sensible that 1 didn’t attack you directly. However, the law doesn’t tolerate emotions. In private, you are having an affair with the wife of the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master. If this matter reaches the ears of the Imperial Court, it will be difficult for Liren to protect your future. As the imperial teacher, 1 can’t ignore it.

“Ye Jingtang, you probably don’t want the Imperial Court to know about your secret affair with the cult mistress, right? If you want me to keep it a secret…”
