30 Chapter 30: Master and Disciple Sharing a Meal?

"Is it not over yet, Tianming?"

The treatment lasted for more than an hour. Yun Yun's hand was held by Yun Tianming for the entire duration, and she felt the palm of her hand getting sweaty.

"It's done, Sect Master."

Yun Tianming reluctantly released the smooth and soft hand of the other person, but his face maintained a serious expression throughout.

Isn't it reasonable for a small Dou Practitioner like him to take a bit more time to treat a Dou Emperor powerhouse?

Yun Yun didn't think much about it and just thanked him. She touched the scar on her wrist, which had long since disappeared without a trace. There was not a hint of any mark, and a charming smile appeared on her face. As a woman, it was impossible for her not to care about scars, but she didn't expect Yun Tianming to be so attentive, using Wood attribute Dou Qi to heal the wound completely, leaving no trace behind.

"No, it's just a small effort."

"The Qi Method and Dou Technique bestowed by Sect Master are the greatest favors. I will remember them in my heart!"

Yun Tianming held two jade slips in his hand, bowing respectfully towards the other person.

For him, Yun Yun had gone alone to the perilous Black-Corner Region, spending a considerable amount to find suitable Qi Methods and Dou Techniques. Yun Tianming couldn't help but be moved!

Therefore, to repay Yun Yun's kindness, Yun Tianming decided to marry her in the future. That's perfectly reasonable!

"Tianming, your potential deserves these cultivation resources."

"I have high hopes for you!"

Yun Yun, with appreciative eyes, looked at Yun Tianming. Based on the observations of the past three years, she believed that this young man before her was an excellent choice in terms of both cultivation talent and personal character. In the future, with Nalan Yanran succeeding as Sect Master and Yun Tianming becoming the Grand Elder, the two of them working together would undoubtedly contribute greatly to the prosperity of the Misty Cloud Sect!

"Really?"

"Sect Master, what do you think of me?"

Yun Tianming met Yun Yun's gentle and watery eyes. There was an inexplicable fluttering in his chest. He couldn't help but take a step forward and, as if guided by some unseen force, held her hands again.

"What, what do you mean?"

Yun Yun blinked, feeling a bit puzzled, then realized that he had once again taken hold of her hands.

What's the meaning of this again?

"I mean, how does the Sect Master view me as a man?"

Yun Tianming gritted his teeth and, with a determined heart, threw out a blatant hint.

"How do I view you? As a male?"

"Huh??"

Yun Yun was utterly confused at this moment. She had never considered this question because the Yun Tianming before her was just a 13-year-old boy, the same age as her disciple Yanran. Subconsciously, Yun Yun treated him as a junior.

No way, right? It shouldn't be what she's thinking, right?

Yun Yun's face first displayed a strange expression, then an involuntary blush appeared on her fair cheeks. Her gentle eyes suddenly became sharp!

As if saying: I'm nurturing you as a junior, and you're thinking about something else?

Yun Tianming's heart skipped a beat, immediately realizing the situation was not good.

Trouble! Trouble!

It's definitely not the time to reveal everything now!

Like confessing to the main character in a dating game with insufficient favorability, hastily choosing to confess can easily lead to a bad ending deadlock!

"."

"."

The two exchanged a gaze. Although no words were spoken, the atmosphere became exceptionally awkward.

Yun Tianming's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His brain raced, thinking about whether there was any way to salvage the situation.

Yun Yun glared at him with an unfriendly expression, thinking to herself: This audacious kid still hasn't let go!

Her fingers twitched, hesitating whether to use Dou Qi to forcefully break free from him. However, if she did so, it would be like tearing off the last shred of modesty in their ambiguous situation, making their predicament even more awkward!

For some reason, Yun Yun's innermost thoughts didn't want to completely sour her relationship with Yun Tianming.

Just at that moment, a sound from a third party shattered their silence.

"Tianming Senior Brother, I came to find you. Teacher is here too."

"Uh, what are you guys doing?"

Nalan Yanran walked over with a cheerful stride. When she witnessed the ambiguous scene of the two holding hands and exchanging "affectionate" glances, her pretty face instantly stiffened, and her heart was thrown into chaos.

Looks like I came at the wrong time?

No! You came at just the right time!

Yun Tianming internally called her a lifesaver.

"Yanran Junior Sister, why are you here?"

"I-I'm here to have Sect Master check my body, yes! That's right! Just like that!"

Yun Tianming finally thought of a perfect excuse. He casually released Yun Yun's hand and put on an innocent smile.

Checking your body? I think this guy clearly has other ideas about our Sect Master's body!

Yun Yun inwardly grumbled, unable to resist giving him a disdainful look.

Hmph, men!

"Teacher! Are you injured?"

"Where? Is it serious?"

The innocent junior sister was easily deceived. Nalan Yanran's attention was immediately diverted, and she quickly trotted over, expressing concern for Yun Yun.

"Yanran, no need to panic."

"I just had a skirmish with someone, a minor injury on the surface."

"After Tianming's treatment, I'm completely recovered now."

Yun Yun took a deep breath, swiftly adjusting her inner complex emotions, and calmly provided an explanation.

"I see. Whoever can spar with the teacher must be a Dou Emperor powerhouse, right?"

"It's good that you're okay. By the way, Senior Brother Tianming's healing skills are getting more and more proficient."

Nalan Yanran patted her chest in relief and then turned to smile at Yun Tianming.

Previously, the two often exchanged moves, inevitably leading to bumps and injuries. Yun Tianming always gently used Wood attribute Dou Qi to heal her wounds.

"Oh? More and more proficient?"

"It seems, Tianming, you've been practicing the same healing techniques on my dear Yanran!"

Yun Yun first paused, then cast a meaningful glance at Yun Tianming.

"You, with the appearance of a harmless youth, not only harbor sinister intentions towards this Sect Master openly but also secretly contemplate inappropriate ideas involving our Sect disciple. Could it be that you're thinking of taking down both master and disciple together?"

Yun Tianming, you've got some nerve!

"Cough cough, fellow senior and junior disciples, it's just a simple gesture."

Yun Tianming looked embarrassed, feeling an inexplicable sensation of being caught red-handed in the act.

This is a huge misunderstanding!

Yun Tianming dared to swear to the heavens that he absolutely had no evil thoughts about a "master-disciple meal." Really, none at all!

"Hmph~ I hope so."

Yun Yun snorted lightly, casting a stern gaze to discipline this audacious junior. However, she didn't take it too seriously. In her eyes, the gap in their abilities was vast. A mere Dou Practitioner daring to have ideas about a lofty Dou Emperor powerhouse could only be seen as commendable courage. Yun Yun considered it as the unrealistic fantasy of an ignorant young man and didn't take it to heart.

"."

Yun Tianming lowered his head, silent. However, deep within, he quietly made a resolution. He was determined to diligently cultivate, striving to become a true powerhouse. In the future, he would marry the Sect Master. Who would dare to object?
