It Starts With The Confession To The Beautiful Master - Chapter 13

“You rascal! You take advantage of me and don’t even acknowledge it? What do you mean by toad lusting after swan meat?”

Daoist Qinglian’s face turned red with anger as she pointed at Zhang Yi and scolded him.

Zhang Yi looked at the page of the Heavenly Fate Map that belonged to Daoist Qinglian and found that her favorability rating had dropped to three stars.

But Zhang Yi didn’t care at all. He didn’t plan to have too much interaction with Daoist Qinglian anyway.

Seeing Daoist Qinglian’s embarrassed look, Yue Yao inexplicably felt happy. She relaxed a bit and had no intention of blaming Zhang Yi any further.

“Qinglian, take care of yourself!”

With a cold ‘hmph’, Yue Yao grabbed Zhang Yi and Zhang Luoyan with her spiritual power and flew away.

At first, Jun Aotian wanted to stop them, but he was stopped by Daoist Qinglian. “Sect Master, she hasn’t stepped into the gate of our sect. We can’t stop her. Let her go.”

Daoist Qinglian stared in the direction they left and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. “Zhang Yi! You will pay the price sooner or later.”

“Senior, is that incident that happened on Green Lotus Peak true?”

Compared to other things, Jun Aotian was more concerned about that matter, which successfully stirred his gossip heart.

“Guess!”

Daoist Qinglian rolled her eyes and returned to Green Lotus Peak alone.

But Jun Wuyan was extremely upset, hugging Jun Aotian’s arm and crying out, “Father, are you just going to let them go like that?”

“Don’t worry, there will be more opportunities in the future. Anyone who harms my daughter will have to pay a painful price!”

Jun Aotian sneered coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. This matter was far from over.

“Father! I must make Zhang Luoyan, that bitch suffer, or I won’t live anymore!”

Being bullied like this, Jun Wuyan couldn’t swallow this anger no matter what.

Jun Aotian tried to comfort her and promised her that he would personally kill Zhang Luoyan, which finally calmed her down.

On the other hand, Yue Yao and Zhang Yi rushed back to the Dao Sect with Zhang Luoyan. Zhang Luoyan was so intimidated by Yue Yao’s aura that she was unusually silent.

“Master, why did you suddenly come here?” Zhang Yi was almost scared to death when Yue Yao appeared earlier, luckily he had a strong will and did not admit to anything, otherwise, he would not only face social death but also suffer from Yue Yao’s beatings.

Yue Yao gave Zhang Yi a stern look. Isn’t that a rhetorical question? If it wasn’t for worrying about his safety, why would she come here?

But Yue Yao ignored him and glanced coldly at Zhang Luoyan. “Go back and receive your punishment from your master! One year of solitary confinement!”

Zhang Luoyan was instantly deflated, her face full of grievance, but she dared not argue. “Yes, Sect Master!”

This made Zhang Yi anxious. “No master, Junior Sister cannot be confined!”

If Zhang Luoyan was confined for a year, he would not be able to complete his mission and would be destined to live alone. He couldn’t let that happen.

“Hmm?” Yue Yao’s eyes narrowed and looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.

But Zhang Luoyan’s eyes sparkled with joy, her face full of smiles as she looked at Zhang Yi. ‘Wow! Senior brother martial brother is actually pleading for me. Does the senior brother care about me so much?’

“Master, this is my fault for not taking care of my junior sister. The responsibility is on me. If anyone is to be punished, let it be me!” Zhang Yi took all the blame upon himself. He just couldn’t let Zhang Luoyan be confined.

When Zhang Luoyan heard this, she was even more touched and grateful to Zhang Yi. “Just because of what the senior brother said, even if it’s ten years of confinement, I will accept it!”

“Master, I know my mistake. This has nothing to do with senior brother. I will go to the confinement peak!” Zhang Luoyan gritted her teeth and said firmly.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Luoyan with a hint of resentment in his eyes and felt as if the whole world was against him,’ Why are there such tricky people in this world? They don’t speak when they should, and they speak when they shouldn’t!’

Zhang Yi even once suspected that Zhang Luoyan was sent by heaven to torment him, and every chance she got, she would catch him and play tricks on him.

“As you wish!”

Without hesitation, Yue Yao agreed. She didn’t care about Zhang Luoyan’s life or death; she only cared about Zhang Yi.

“Master, you must not…”

Zhang Yi wanted to explain himself, but he found that Yue Yao’s expression was getting colder and colder as if she could erupt at any moment. Zhang Yi immediately closed his mouth obediently.

‘Is it because I helped my clever junior sister speak up that Master is jealous? Forget it… let’s think of a way to get her out when we get back to the sect.’

Zhang Yi clearly sensed that Yue Yao was a bit suspicious, and he knew that continuing to talk would only make things worse.

An hour later, the three of them finally returned to the sect. Zhang Luoyan went directly to the confinement peak, while Yue Yao took Zhang Yi to the Moon Shadow Peak.

“What did you do in the Earth Sect that made Qinglian so angry?”

Yue Yao asked coldly, her face expressionless.

“That old witch had designs on me, but my heart and body belong to you, master. How could I let her succeed? So I humiliated her instead.”

Zhang Yi was quick to speak and didn’t hesitate to criticize Qinglian in front of Yue Yao.

Hearing this, a rare blush appeared on Yue Yao’s pretty face, and a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes. “You’re a smooth talker!”

“Of course… the most important thing is that I stole her treasure!”

Zhang Yi said with a grin.

“Zhang Yi!!!”

Yue Yao immediately thought of what Daoist Qinglian said in the Earth Sect about Zhang Yi peeking at her while she was bathing and became furious, and her blushing face instantly disappeared, replaced by a fierce killing intent.

This scared Zhang Yi, who immediately used his mind to take out the Grand Dao Fruit from his body. “Yao’er, you misunderstood. The treasure I was talking about is the Grand Dao Fruit.”

“Qinglian unexpectedly has a Dao Fruit?”

Yue Yao calmed down and looked at the Dao Fruit in Zhang Yi’s hand with disbelief and felt the aura of the Dao emanating from it, which made her realize its authenticity.

The Dao Fruit was a rare treasure for those in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, as it could enhance their sensitivity to the Dao and increase their affinity with it.

“Yao’er… I risked my life to get this Dao Fruit. That Qinglian demoness is so vicious that she would rather defame my reputation than let me have the Dao Fruit. She even said she wants you to kill me with your own hands…”

Zhang Yi spoke with a sense of grievance, but the Dao Fruit was indeed something he had risked his life to obtain.

“Qinglian! I won’t fall for your tricks!”

A hint of coldness flashed in Yue Yao’s eyes as she thought about how much danger Zhang Yi had to endure to obtain the Dao Fruit from Qinglian. She felt guilty for doubting Zhang Yi earlier. This stirred up some ripples in her heart.

Yue Yao did not suspect Zhang Yi, as this was definitely something that Qinglian could do.

Seeing the touched expression on Yue Yao’s face, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, no matter what Daoist Qinglian said, Yue Yao would not listen to her.

“Yao’er… I’m giving this Dao Fruit, as my first gift to you.”

Zhang Yi offered the Dao Fruit with a serious expression.

“No, I can’t accept it! The Dao Fruit is too precious, and it’s also a rare treasure for you. I can’t take it.”

Surprised, Yue Yao repeatedly shook her head and refused.

“Yao’er, we’ll be family from now on. The Dao Fruit will be more useful to you. In times of great turmoil, before you ascend, you can increase your strength as much as possible. I’ll be at ease too.”

Zhang Yi forced the Dao Fruit into Yue Yao’s hand, speaking with utmost sincerity.
