Li Shang casually remarked, "The Heavenly Queen's cultivation is lacking, so she cannot comprehend the loneliness of those of us standing at the peak. This girl suits Ben Jun's taste quite well. In the future, Wujie will no longer be closed off. Regardless of which side it is, if anyone has the confidence to eliminate Ben Jun, they are welcome to try."
Su Ye glanced at the tightly wrapped figure and felt increasingly certain about certain suspicions. A moment of seriousness flashed across his otherwise mischievous face, but he still wore an expression full of interest.
"Congratulations to Li Shang Di Jun on successfully taking a disciple. It seems Ben Jun's eye for talent is indeed sharp. Little Grass, Ben Jun has gifted you a great opportunity; aren't you going to say thank you?"
Yun Zhi Yue let out a few muffled sounds, twisting her hands. The black cloth covering her face revealed two gaps, showcasing a pair of bright eyes and red lips, giving her the appearance of wearing a black silk cap.
"Su Ye Emperor, I cannot thank you enough. My breakthrough to Ru Tian Jing has only happened in these past few years. Perhaps you could give me a little push? Just one grain of your essence will do; I know you won't be stingy, right?"
Su Ye's smile froze. "You want to use Ben Jun as fertilizer? Yun Zhi Yue, do you think that just because you've become my disciple, Ben Jun won't be able to do anything to you?"
"Indeed! Didn't my master say he would protect me? What can you do about it? You won't even give me anything when I ask for it—so stingy! No wonder you're earth and I'm grass; I still don't like you."
Su Ye's expression darkened as he considered how to deal with someone like her. However, after meeting Li Shang's gaze, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
With a flick of his sleeve, he walked out. "Just wait! When you fall into Ben Jun's hands again, I'll strip all your green leaves away and turn you into a bald head. Let's see how arrogant you'll be then!"
Just as Yun Zhi Yue was about to say something, she felt a grain of brown dust shoot into her body.
Instantly, her face lit up with joy. "Su Ye Emperor, you're the best! Yun Zhi Yue loves you the most and is willing to serve you faithfully until death."
As Su Ye walked away, he stumbled slightly at her shamelessness; this little grass was full of lies.
"Congratulations to Li Shang Di Jun on acquiring an excellent disciple," Ben Jun said as he took his maid and left first. Tide Emperor glanced at Yun Zhi Yue with a slight smile before blue waves enveloped Wang Er Zhu, whisking him away in an instant.
Li Shang had no intention of engaging in further conversation: "If you're not leaving, are we going to fight?"
Bi Fang frowned; Li Shang walked the path of slaughter and would not engage in trivial skirmishes. Flames engulfed Feng Clan People as they also departed from Wujie.
Only Yue Qi and Long Kuang remained as outsiders in the hall.
Meeting Yue Qi's gaze, Yun Zhi Yue calmly stated, "Now that things have come to this point, you cannot take me with you, Yue Qi. The truth is that without you, I live much happier. If you love me, then go die; I will not forget you."
Wu Zong Ren clicked his tongue in disbelief at such terrifying words.
Yue Qi chuckled lightly. "Yun Zhi Yue, the love of Ben Di is not so weak. You stay here in Wujie; we will surely meet again someday."
When the last outsider left, Wu Zong Elder Wuming and Elder Nian You led the Wu Zong Ren in unison: "Congratulations to the Emperor on gaining a beloved disciple! Wu Zong pays respects to Shao Zong!"
Yun Zhi Yue smiled brightly. "No need for formalities; please leave some space for me and my master to cultivate our master-disciple bond."
Everyone's lips twitched as they saw their Emperor not refuse and gradually exited.
Once only the two remained in the hall, Yun Zhi Yue fell silent while Li Shang Di Jun leisurely sipped tea without any intention of releasing her from his sleeve.
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes flickered as she whispered, "Master."
There was no response; the other party remained aloof and unapproachable.
Yun Zhi Yue had no choice but to continue probing, "Master, do you dislike my schemes? But as a disciple, I am left with no choice. When facing the Imperial Realm, is it not foolish to act without thinking? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Li Shang glanced at her sideways. "I do not dislike you." As he loosened his sleeve, she was unexpectedly pulled into Li Shang's embrace.
