Xu Sheng heard the words and chuckled, "My way of cultivation is different from yours, perhaps this is what they call talent!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Moxue said disdainfully, "Tch, I didn't expect you to have such a humorous side, Xu Sheng, and talk about talent..."
Even the geniuses of Central State wouldn't be able to learn a martial technique just by casually glancing at it!
At the very least, it would take several days or even months of cultivation to learn it!
The kind of terrifying talent Xu Sheng mentioned simply couldn't exist!
If it did exist, surely all the Great Sects and families would have thrown olive branches at them! How could he have ended up practicing such martial techniques in the small Tianlong Sect!
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly, Xu Sheng, how could you lie like Mo Xue does!"
Lin Moxue glared at Ling Yue, a nice girl, but why did she have such an off-putting mouth!
Then she turned her gaze back to Xu Sheng and coughed, "Cough cough, since you, Xu Sheng, are staying in the Martial Skill Pavilion, I naturally have to cherish this opportunity. After all, it's not like you can come to the Martial Skill Pavilion for cultivation whenever you want. What about you, Ling Yue?"
After pondering for a moment, Ling Yue spoke up, "Since both of you say so, I might as well stay here."
It wasn't that she wanted to cultivate martial techniques, but rather she felt very comfortable in body and mind being with Xu Sheng and Lin Moxue!
…
Soon, the night sky gradually dissipated, and a sliver of pale dawn hung in the sky...
Blinding light streamed into the Martial Skill Pavilion from outside...
At this moment, inside the Martial Skill Pavilion, which formerly held neat rows of martial techniques, everything had turned into a complete mess, with three figures lying on the ground, deep asleep!
It was none other than Xu Sheng and his company!
Xu Sheng was using a manual of martial techniques as a makeshift pillow to rest, while next to him Lin Moxue was even more outrageous, her delicate body like an octopus tightly hugging Xu Sheng, especially her disheveled robe that gave a glimpse of the snowy-white skin underneath...
Compared to the two of them, Ling Yue was in a much more decent sleeping position, simply leaning against the bookshelf where martial techniques were placed, sleeping peacefully...
Just then, a few voices sounded from outside the Martial Skill Pavilion...
"The Elders must have left by now, so let's take this opportunity to practice some martial techniques while no one's here!"
"Hehe! Nobody has ever found out about this! This is one of the benefits of guarding the Martial Skill Pavilion, huh!"
"Others actually think that guarding the Martial Skill Pavilion is a disgrace. If they knew about this, they would probably be crying, hahaha!"
Amidst the raucous conversation, Xu Sheng and Lin Moxue were awakened from their slumber...
The latter yawned in confusion but the next moment, she felt that something was off...
At this time, Xu Sheng glanced with his dark eyes at Lin Moxue, who was still not fully awake, and reminded her, "I say, Mo Xue, could you let go of me now?"
This sleeping position was too wild, completely using him as a body pillow...
Okay, even if it were just the arms hugging him, but those slender, beautiful legs didn't spare him either!
If it were any other ordinary man, probably no one could withstand this, right?
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Lin Moxue abruptly opened her amber-colored beautiful eyes, and when she realized her body was tightly entangling Xu Sheng, her cheeks instantly became burning hot!
Damn it, damn it!
She had actually presented herself in such a pose in front of a man!!
Now she had lost face completely!
Xu Sheng stretched out his hand and lightly flicked, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and let go..."
In her panic, Lin Moxue hastily released Xu Sheng as if she had been shocked by electricity, but perhaps she was too hasty, as her legs suddenly weakened, and her whole body plunged downwards towards Xu Sheng...
At the same time, with a "crack," the door to the Martial Skill Pavilion was pushed open...
These excited Tianlong Sect disciples stepped inside. Before they could say much, they caught sight of such an enticing scene...
They saw Lin Moxue pinning Xu Sheng beneath her, their eyes locked onto each other's, creating an atmosphere filled with romantic flirtation that enveloped their surroundings...
Especially that terrible posture and Lin Moxue's cherry-red cheeks made them all involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air...
Indeed the Elder! They surely knew how to play!
Turning her head aside, Lin Moxue shouted with both shame and anger, "What are you looking at!! Turn around, all of you!"
Shaken by her roar, the disciples quickly came to their senses and, with great speed, turned away...
They started to explain awkwardly, "Uh, Mo Xue junior sister, we really didn't mean to see this!"
"Yeah, we thought the Elder and you all left, who would have known... Ahem, we were too hasty. We should have asked before entering!"
"That's right, that's right, we truly didn't know it was this situation between you and the Elder. Had we known, we wouldn't have come in to disturb you for the world!"
Hearing what they said, Lin Moxue's already flushed cheeks became even hotter, she clenched her teeth and said, "Shut up, all of you! Don't mention this matter ever again! It was all just a coincidence!"
The disciples showed a look of sudden realization, hastily saying, "We get it! We get it! Did you hear that? In the future, no one is allowed to tell others that Mo Xue junior sister and the Elder are a couple!"
Lin Moxue glared at them fiercely, then realized she was still on top of Xu Sheng and hurriedly stood up...
Xu Sheng sighed helplessly and stood up as well...
What a mess this is!
At this moment, Ling Yue at the side also gradually woke up. After rubbing her eyes, she spoke in a soft voice, "Hm? Mo Xue, Xu Sheng, did you get up this early?"
Lin Moxue sighed in relief, thankful she hadn't seen what had happened earlier, or else she undoubtedly would have spilled the beans too readily...
She then shook her head and said, "No, we just woke up too."
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Ling Yue, how did you sleep?"
At Xu Sheng's question, she patted her neck and pouted her tender lips, complaining, "Not good at all, my neck hurts!"
Some regrets about staying in the Martial Skill Pavilion overnight began to surface...
Xu Sheng walked over to her, stretched out his hand to gently stroke her smooth hair, and said softly, "Is that so... I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Witnessing this scene, Lin Moxue felt a wave of jealousy rising in her eyes...
But then she shook her head once she came back to herself. What was going on with her?
Could it be jealousy over Ling Yue because of Xu Sheng?
No, it surely couldn't be. After all, they had only met a few days ago...
Ling Yue, whose head was being petted, seemed to enjoy it a lot, curling up in Xu Sheng's arms like a contented cat. She looked curiously at the male disciples who had their backs turned to them and inquired, "And they are...?"
Xu Sheng's gaze shifted toward Lin Moxue with a hint of bemusement and teased, "They?"
Hearing the inquiry, a male disciple began, "Junior sister Ling Yue, we came because we saw..."
Before the disciples could finish speaking, Lin Moxue's expression darkened, and she scolded them sharply, "Shut up and get out!!"
