Chapter 173 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 22

At this moment, Lin Yao'er exclaimed in shock, "Master's wife?"

Where did this master's wife come from?

Just then, Yun Qing suddenly grew larger. Zong Yunze was afraid she would fall, so he reached out and caught her, but ended up pulling her directly into his arms.

Xiao He immediately lowered his eyebrows and eyes, focusing his gaze on his nose and his mind.

Lin Yao'er, however, stared wide-eyed at the two embracing each other, finding it somewhat irritating.

She originally thought it was a little spirit, just a tiny one, at most a pet that her master had brought back.

Who knew she could change her body shape!

The master and she were so intimate, without any attempt to avoid suspicion, yet Xiao He still referred to her as his master's wife.

So, when Master went on his travels this time, he not only brought back this woman of unknown origin, but also treated her as a Daoist companion?

Lin Yao'er felt a pang of sadness.

Yun Qing reached out and patted Zong Yunze's arm, telling him to let go. The junior was still there; what kind of behavior was this, hugging and cuddling? It was not dignified at all!

Zong Yunze let go of her hand, and after watching Yun Qing get off him, he got up and gave her the rocking chair.

Then he took out a storage bag and tossed it to Xiao He, saying unhurriedly, "You and Wen Li should split it up. Don't let people think that my direct disciple is short of resources and can be interested in anything."

Xiao He accepted the gift without hesitation, saying, "Disciple thanks Master."

Lin Yao'er accused him of withholding her resources, implying that he was lining his own pockets, but he was too lazy to explain, and that's why.

Master has never lacked resources for him and Wen Li; he would never stoop to the level of a nominal disciple.

If he really needed something, he could simply swallow his pride and ask his master; there was absolutely no need for him to do something so despicable.

Lin Yao'er's face was extremely ugly. Even if she was stupid, she could tell that Zong Yunze's words were a sign of dissatisfaction with her.

Xiao He targeted her, but instead of punishing him, his master even gave him resources.

He wanted to give her, the victim he was targeting, to someone else to be his disciple!

Although Lin Yao'er had little contact with Zong Yunze, she always believed in him to be an upright and noble person. After all, he was Yunze Immortal Venerable, the recognized leader of the righteous path!

She had already heard some stories about Immortal Venerable Yunze, and after arriving at Luoxue Peak, she learned about her master from Wen Li.

The impression Zong Yunze left on her was that although he was aloof and indifferent, he was of noble character and very kind to his disciples.

Therefore, she found it hard to believe that her master was such a person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and that he didn't care about her, his disciple, at all.

Lin Yao'er was greatly shocked, and even felt as if her beliefs had collapsed.

Zong Yunze clearly didn't care whether she was upset or not. He reached out and pulled Yun Qing up from the recliner, asking, "Are you hungry?"

Yun Qing nodded.

Since she had already witnessed Zong Yunze's attitude towards Lin Yao'er, there was no need to continue watching Lin Yao'er's unreasonable behavior. Eating was more important.

"Let's go first, so as not to delay your meal. You can leave these matters to Xiao He."

After Zong Yunze finished speaking, he took Yun Qing's hand and turned to walk towards the palace behind them.

Xiao He: ...

He sighed inwardly and quickly sent someone to urge the chef to finish preparing the dishes and have them delivered.

Let the master's wife taste it to see if she likes it, so we can decide whether or not to keep the person.

Then he looked at Lin Yao'er and said, "Go to the outer sect first. We'll talk about the rest after your master comes out of seclusion. Don't come to Luoxue Peak to bother your master in the future."

Lin Yao'er stared blankly in the direction Zong Yunze had left, feeling heartbroken and lost. Did that woman's eating or not matter that much to her master?

Hearing Xiao He's words, she came back to her senses, clenched her fists, and couldn't hide her anger on her face. "Master didn't say that I should go to the outer sect."

Xiao He said calmly, "Master doesn't want to be disturbed by you. Go to the outer sect, or be put in solitary confinement. You can choose one."

Lin Yao'er remained silent, stubbornly pursing her lips as she gazed in the direction of the palace, but received no response for a long time.

Her eyes gradually filled with disappointment, and she finally had to believe that her master really wouldn't care about her.

Urged on by Xiao He, she gritted her teeth and finally said, "I choose solitary confinement."

This way, she'll at least still be on Luoxue Peak. If she goes to the outer sect, she'll have already broken ties with Xiao He, and he definitely won't give her another chance to set foot on Luoxue Peak.

Although she felt some resentment towards her master's ruthlessness, she inexplicably wanted to be closer to him.

Xiao He: ...

He used to think Lin Yao'er was pretending to be stupid, but now it seems she really is!

Even the naive Xiao He couldn't help but remind her, "Think it through, solitary confinement isn't pleasant."

The solitary confinement room is for those who have made mistakes to reflect on their actions. It is dark and silent inside, and it also suppresses the circulation of spiritual energy in the body, making it impossible to cultivate. They can only stay in there idly day after day. Although it can temper one's character, it can also drive those with weak minds to madness.

Lin Yao'er was clearly not a person of strong will; she couldn't even manage to cultivate in peace.

Xiao He meant well by reminding her, but Lin Yao'er was hostile towards him. The more he said that, the more determined Lin Yao'er became in her choice.

Xiao He was too lazy to say anything more. He assessed Lin Yao'er's temperament and said, "Then let's lock her up for a month."

Master only wanted some peace and quiet and asked Lin Yao'er not to disturb him and his wife; he never intended to kill Lin Yao'er.

After being locked up for a month, Lin Yao'er should have learned her lesson. When she comes out, she will naturally behave herself and go to the outer sect.

Xiao He personally escorted Lin Yao'er to the solitary confinement room.

Yun Qing, who thought she could go eat, didn't get to eat at all. Instead, she was held in Zong Yunze's arms and kissed until she was dizzy.

Yun Qing was so angry that she punched him. This was what he meant by not delaying the meal? Where was the meal?

Zong Yunze seemed to be in a very good mood. He didn't care about being punched. He calmly grabbed her wrist and kissed her fist.

Yun Qing was too lazy to struggle. She opened her hand, her fingers just reaching his chin, and poked him twice, asking, "What are you so happy about?"

Surely he wasn't happy to see the female lead? Judging from his previous behavior, it's clearly not.

Zong Yunze lowered his head and nuzzled against the crook of her neck. Yun Qing felt a little ticklish and couldn't help but shrink her neck. Then she heard him chuckle and say, "Qingqing, you look so cute when you're jealous."

Yun Qing remained expressionless. Was I jealous? I was afraid you'd lose your mind if you saw the female lead!

Zong Yunze hugged her tighter and whispered, "I'm glad you care about me."

You're so overjoyed, do you realize your public image is crumbling?

Yun Qing muttered to herself and silently reached out to hug him back.

Oh well, his character has already collapsed, and the plot is completely ruined, so let's just be happy!

Actually, Zong Yunze wasn't completely infatuated with the female lead, which made her quite happy.

Hmm...we should celebrate.

"Senior brother, I want to drink the Spirit Flower Wine."

Zong Yunze: ...I suddenly couldn't be happy anymore. I felt that I was not as important as the Spirit Flower Wine.
