Chapter 19: One Step Further

"Gu Ziyi!" Bai Lu immediately glared at Gu Ziyi.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. I have forgotten what Tang Yuehua did just now!"

"Since you are from the Clear Sky Sect, you must have advanced meditation techniques. I won't teach you the one I created myself. I don't think you need it!" Gu Ziyi laughed and quickly changed the subject.

"It's good that you know!" Bai Lu said unhappily that she just couldn't stand Gu Ziyi teasing her cousin. As for Gu Ziyi's self-created advanced meditation technique, she and Tang Yuehua definitely don't need it.

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Tang Yuehua, just practice as I say. If you have any more questions, just come to me!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Gu Ziyi quickly said goodbye.

"Look how proud he is. Cousin, you were just too impulsive. No matter how excited you are, you shouldn't be like that..." Bai Lu pursed his lips as she looked at Gu Ziyi's leaving figure, then scolded Tang Yuehua.

"Yeah, I know, cousin..."

"I was just too excited..." Tang Yuehua admitted her mistake with a red face. Tang Yuehua couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she thought about how she had just kissed Gu Ziyi.

"Cousin, are you in love with him?" When Bai Lu saw Tang Yuehua's appearance, her expression suddenly became serious.

[T/L: Wow in here she's spot on]

"I...I don't know!" Tang Yuehua's face turned even redder as if her true thoughts had been revealed. But when Bai Lu looked at Tang Yuehua, she knew very well that her cousin was probably really in love with Gu Ziyi.

Yes, Gu Ziyi looks pretty good, and he is the only male friend my cousin has had in all these years. He also helped my cousin solve the problem of not being able to practice, so it is normal for my cousin to like him.

"Cousin, don't forget that you are the eldest daughter of the Clea Sky Sect. The sect will not recognize him!" After discovering this, Bai Lu quickly reminded Tang Yuehua.

"I...I know..." Tang Yuehua's face turned pale when she heard Bai Lu's words. She knew it very well, but she just couldn't control her heart. She had already had a crush on Gu Ziyi before!

If Gu Ziyi hadn't helped her solve the problem of cultivation, she could still control herself, but after Gu Ziyi helped her solve the problem of not being able to cultivate, Tang Yuehua found that she really couldn't control her love for Gu Ziyi.

But she also knew very well that it would be difficult for the sect to recognize Gu Ziyi. Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua felt very upset.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's look, Bai Lu felt a little reluctant and didn't say anything to Tang Yuehua anymore. She just wanted her cousin to be clear about it herself. She believed her cousin could control herself.

[T/L: I am liking you a little bit]

"Cousin, since you are now able to practice, should we return to the sect?"

"We should tell my uncle and his family the good news. I believe they will be very excited too!" Afterwards, Bai Lu told her cousin about going back.

"...don't want!" When Tang Yuehua heard Bai Lu's words, her first reaction was to refuse.

She also wanted to go back now and tell her father, elder brother and second brother the good news. But when she heard Bai Lu's words just now, her first thought was separating from Gu Ziyi, so she subconsciously didn't want to go back.

"...Cousin, I'm still not sure whether my cultivation problem has been truly solved. What if other problems arise?"

"That would only make the father and the others happy for nothing. I don't want to disappoint them again!"  

"So, cousin, let's not go back yet. Wait for me...wait until I break through to level 10 and make sure that there is really no problem with my cultivation, then we will go back..." Moreover, Tang Yuehua quickly found an excuse, and it was well-founded.

"...Okay, then we'll wait for you to break through level 10 before going back!" Bai Lu looked at Tang Yuehua and finally couldn't bear to refuse.

What my cousin said also makes sense. It is not clear whether there will be any problems with my cousin's cultivation. If she is here, she can find Gu Ziyi at any time.

Unconsciously, she was full of confidence in Gu Ziyi's wisdom, at least more than her trust in the elders of the sect. Of course, it is only in certain aspects, especially Tang Yuehua's cultivation problem.

"Yeah! Thank you, cousin!" Hearing Bai Lu agree, Tang Yuehua immediately smiled happily.

…

In the following time, Gu Ziyi could clearly feel the change in Tang Yuehua's attitude towards him. Tang Yuehua always keeps her eyes on him. When this situation occurred, Gu Ziyi naturally knew what it meant.

But when Gu Ziyi was ready to strike while the iron was hot and take down Tang Yuehua, Bai Lu seemed to have anticipated something and stood guard tightly, leaving Gu Ziyi and Tang Yuehua no chance to be alone.

After looking for several opportunities, he found that Tang Yuehua also cooperated with Bai Lu and took the initiative to not be alone with him, and did not give him further opportunities, so Gu Ziyi gave up temporarily. Gu Ziyi put his focus back on cultivation.

After knowing that his advanced meditation technique could improve the quality of his soul rings, Gu Ziyi, while practising, was also trying to actively control this change.

Change the passive improvement brought by practising advanced meditation into active improvement. It's a pity that there has been no progress, and Gu Ziyi can only practice advanced meditation techniques and improve the quality of his soul ring at the same time.

During this period, Tang Yuehua had no problems with her practice. She followed the method Gu Ziyi taught her. Although she needed to exhaust her soul power before practising each time, which was very hard, Tang Yuehua used this method to improve her soul power step by step.

Four months later, Gu Ziyi's soul power level broke through to level 14.

After mastering the advanced meditation technique, Gu Ziyi's practice speed increased a little bit. Tang Yuehua, whom Gu Ziyi had always cared about, finally successfully broke through to level 10 the day after Gu Ziyi broke through to level 14.

"Gu Ziyi, I...I have reached level 10..."

"Thank you, Gu Ziyi. If it weren't for you, I might never have become a soul master in my life..." After the breakthrough, Tang Yuehua found Gu Ziyi in the library and threw herself into Gu Ziyi's arms, excitedly sharing the good news with Gu Ziyi. Her achievements today also belong to Gu Ziyi.

"you have broken through?" murmured Gu Ziyi.

"That's great!" Gu Ziyi hugged Tang Yuehua with his backhand and smiled gently after hearing Tang Yuehua's words. While holding Tang Yuehua, Gu Ziyi realized that Bai Lu didn't seem to follow him. Gu Ziyi immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

"Gu Ziyi!" But before Gu Ziyi could take the initiative, Tang Yuehua raised her head in Gu Ziyi's arms and looked at him with tenderness in her eyes.

When Gu Ziyi looked down and saw Tang Yuehua's expression, he would never let her go, so he bent down and kissed her.

"Hmm~" Tang Yuehua let out a moan, and the next second her hands, which were originally holding Gu Ziyi, tightened even more.

....…
