The Fallen Consort

*COUGH* *COUGH*

Yi Ling instantly broke the kiss. With all her might, she stood up and look towards the person who came. Seeing that they had been caught by their son Minzhe, her face was burning hot.

Meanwhile, Muxin was left hanging. His mouth was twitching with anger. He could already tell that it was their son. Why does he always try to disturb them?! How did he give birth to this son of his?! NO MANNERISM AT ALL!

Minzhe smiled and he acted like he didn't saw anything. He was in his ȧduŀt form and looked at his mother. "Mom, Linyu wanted to tell you that tonight would be the last night for Qianru's session. By tomorrow, you would be able to use the bow."

"En. Tell them thank you." Yi Ling didn't looked at anybody. She bit her lips unconsciously. Somehow, she could still tastes Muxin's lips.

Seeing that nobody was looking at him, Minzhe chuckled. "Alright. I'll get back outside. Continue what you were doing. Great job father! Hahaha."

He instantly left, not waiting for his father to retort back.

"Damn that child! How did I raised him to be like this?! So ungrateful!" Muxin harrumphed. Even though he was furious, he sneek a peek on his wife.

Seeing that she wasn't showing any signs of anger, he sighed. "Ling'er?" He called her softly, testing the waters.

"Hmmm?" She said absently. Her mind was wondering about the taste in her mouth. Realizing what she was thinking, she turned red again.

Muxin stood up and pulled Yi Ling into his embrace. Since he was taller than her, her head could only reach his ċhėst. He leaned down to her ears and whispered. "So shall we continue where we left off?"

Before he could even do anything after that, he staggered forward. The girl in his embrace, left him. Muxin laughed and said, "You know you can't run away forever."

------

She heard him say inside her head. She blushed and instantly hid inside her blanket. She returned her soul back to her body. She avoided Muxin by doing so. She knew that he could never come out, so she was safe at the moment.

"Huuuuuuu." Yi Ling calmed her mind. She didn't respond to his provocation. Although he could see what she's doing, doesn't mean that he could read her mind. Not unless she gives permission to him.

Because of this, she decided to go out and roam around the Sect. She don her Sect Master's Attire and Mask. Since her only disciple visited her yesterday, she won't be expecting him today. For the past month that went by fast, she was now on the 2nd Rank of Emergent Stage. Her progress was faster, since she had a space where the spiritual energy is boundless.

Along the way, anyone that sees her walking around the Sect would stop and bow down to her. This was a common sight for them. They all respected him for being so powerful. They all heard from their Elders that their Sect Master must be treated with respect and that they should acknowledge him everytime they see him.

They were all happy to! Their Sect Master was down to earth and very friendly. Although he doesn't talk much, one could feel how they felt so at ease whenever the Sect Master was around.

Nowadays, they saw the Sect Master more than before. He could be seen at the Medical Hall, Alchemist Hall or the Forging Hall. Sometimes, he would even teach the cooks about what kinds of herbs that are good for supplementing a cultivators body and such.

If they were lucky, they could also see the Sect Master drinking or eating. Once he lifted his mask halfway, they all could see half of his countenance. He had tender red lips and prominent jaws. Even the men in the Sect would be mesmerize. Aside from the Sect Master, the Senior Elders already took off their Masks. Although they were all handsome, they were still wanting to see the real countenance of their Sect Master. They were all too curious because his body was short and small. But neither one believes that he was young. Since the Sect Master was knowledgeable about Alchemy, it wouldn't be surprising if he knew how to make one look younger. How powerful is that!?

Not only that! Along with his accomplishments, they all knew that he was a very powerful figure. Just why did he decided to stay in a mediocre ranked Kingdom though? Although Xiang Kingdom is a mid-rank kingdom, it was on the lowest rank. But now that the Kingdom was prospered, it was no longer the lowest one. All thanks to their Sect Master!

Still, why not the high-rank Kingdom? What was his purpose? Was it really just to make this sect? Also, they still couldn't understand why the Sect's spiritual energy was more denser than the outside. No matter how much they cultivate, the spiritual energy in the air was limitless.

Plus, getting in and out was hard. Even if the guards have their own masks, they were tallied each night. Only those who were guarding at that time would be able to used their Masks. If they were resting, they had to return their Masks in the Barracks. Where Elder Qianru or Elder Tefei or #1 Commanding Officer would keep track.

Luckily, the new Elders were all smart and devoted their new life to the Sect. None of them was a bad fruit.

As Yi Ling kept on walking, she found herself in the Black Treasury Pavilion. She walked in and decided to give out some treasures for the Sect. Not knowing that it would cause a big commotion.
