Immortal Qingchen's gaze lingered between the two of them for a moment, and finally fell on Lin Yu, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Immortal Venerable Qingchen spoke slowly, his voice steady and majestic: "Lin Yu, I already know the changes in you. It seems that you have gained a great opportunity in the secret realm of the West Sea."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately bowed and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Grandmaster, I did have some adventures in the secret realm of the West Sea. Not only did my cultivation improve, but I also experienced a transformation of my body and mind. All of this is due to Master's careful teaching and protection."

Immortal Venerable Qingchen nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Sheng Rao, and said with some deep meaning in his tone: "Rao'er, you have done very well. Lin Yu's growth is not only his personal well-being, but also the fortune of the sect, but the boundaries between you two still need to be clearly defined."

Sheng Rao's face changed slightly when she heard this. She quickly calmed down and responded respectfully: "Disciple understands, and will abide by the etiquette between master and disciple and live up to the master's teachings."

Immortal Qingchen sighed softly and forgave his selfishness. Sheng Rao had finally woken up and he had finally found her. How could he let her be with another man?

"Lin Yu, since you have transformed, you should practice more diligently and make the most of your youth. Remember, a truly strong person must not only have great strength, but also a firm will and a broad mind. You and Rao'er should maintain a proper distance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Immortal Qingchen said earnestly.

After hearing this, although Lin Yu felt unwilling, he also understood the intention of Immortal Qing Chen.

Lin Yu bowed again and could only perfunctorily say, "Disciple will follow the Immortal Venerable's teachings and practice diligently to live up to everyone's expectations."

Immortal Qingchen nodded, seeming quite satisfied with Lin Yu's answer.

He turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something, so he stopped and said to Sheng Rao, "Rao'er, come with me. I have something to discuss with you alone."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Rao had no choice but to follow Immortal Qing Chen, leaving Lin Yu behind with a complicated expression.

Lin Yu looked at Sheng Rao's leaving back and clenched his fists. He must practice well. As long as he can reach the peak, no one will stop him from being with Sheng Rao.

A red light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, so fast that even he himself didn't notice anything was wrong.

Sheng Rao followed Immortal Qing Chen to a quiet cottage in a bamboo forest. It was far away from the hustle and bustle, the air was fresh, and it seemed as if even time had slowed down.

Immortal Qingchen waved his hand to release the barrier, then sat down at a stone table and motioned Sheng Rao to sit down as well.

"Rao'er, do you know why I am looking for you alone?" The voice of Immortal Qingchen was gentle and deep, with a hint of imperceptible concern.

Sheng Rao lowered her head slightly and said softly, "My disciple is dull, please enlighten me, Master."

Qingchen Immortal Venerable sighed softly, looking into the distance with deep eyes, as if recalling the past: "Rao'er, you have grown up beside me since you were young. I have seen your temperament and your talents. You are smart, tenacious, and have a kind heart. This makes me both relieved and worried."

"Master, I don't understand..." Sheng Rao looked up, eyes full of confusion.

Immortal Qingchen retracted his gaze and turned to Sheng Rao, his tone becoming serious: "Rao'er, I shouldn't interfere too much in your affairs with Lin Yu, but you are my only disciple and the person I cherish most. I don't want to see you get hurt."

I don't want you to be with another man.

Sheng Rao's heart tightened when she heard this. She didn't expect that Immortal Qing Chen would mention this matter so directly. She also knew in her heart how Immortal Qing Chen felt about her. She originally wanted to pretend that she didn't know. After all, he was not a villain, nor was he his target.

Sheng Rao was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Master, I understand your painstaking efforts, but matters of the heart are beyond my control. Lin Yu...he is indeed different, and his feelings for me are sincere."

Sheng Rao had no choice but to express her feelings for Lin Yu to Immortal Venerable Qing Chen, hoping that he would give up on his own.

Qingchen Immortal Venerable shook his head and said earnestly: "Rao'er, the road to cultivation is long and difficult. Although emotions are beautiful, they are also the easiest stumbling blocks on the road of cultivation. You must know that the real strong are those who can restrain their desires and devote all their energy to cultivation. Although Lin Yu is gifted, there is a master-disciple relationship between you and him after all. This is not only a gap, but also a huge challenge that you may face in the future."

Sheng Rao felt mixed emotions when she heard this. Why didn't he think about the relationship between him and her as a master and disciple?

He has the nerve to say these things even though he covets his disciple.

Although Immortal Qingchen is as good-looking as Lin Yu, Sheng Rao is not a fickle woman. Once she has chosen a man, she will never fall in love with someone else no matter how many worlds she has been through.

No matter how handsome Immortal Qingchen is, or how good a person he is, it cannot change Sheng Rao's heart.

"Master, I understand your concerns, but I think that emotions are not entirely an obstacle on the path of cultivation. Sometimes they can also be the driving force for us to move forward. Although Lin Yu and I are master and disciple in name, we have more of a friendship of mutual support and common growth. This emotion makes me more determined on the path of cultivation, and also allows me to learn how to love and how to be loved." Although Sheng Rao's voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Qingchen's eyes flashed with a complex look, which included both relief and helplessness.

He knew Sheng Rao's character very well. Once she made up her mind, she would not change it easily. Wasn't he the same?

Besides, how could he push her to another man?

Immortal Qingchen's eyes changed, and it seemed that his explanation didn't make sense.

"Rao'er, do you really want to be with that boy?"

The voice of Immortal Venerable Qingchen was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his heart, carrying a power that could not be ignored.

He stared at Sheng Rao. In those eyes that were once as deep as the night sky, there now seemed to be a storm brewing.

"Yes, Master, since I have chosen Lin Yu, I will not change my mind."

Sheng Rao's answer was firm and clear. She met Immortal Venerable Qing Chen's gaze without any retreat.

This determination caused an indescribable emotion to surge in the heart of Immortal Qingchen, and anger burned in his eyes.

Immortal Qingchen stood up instantly, pulled Sheng Rao into his arms, then raised his hand to pinch Sheng Rao's neck, leaned down, and kissed Sheng Rao's red lips.

Sheng Rao was unexpectedly pulled into the arms of Immortal Qing Chen. A strong masculine aura instantly surrounded her. She widened her eyes and looked at Immortal Qing Chen who was so close to her in disbelief.

Immortal Qingchen's kiss was so overbearing that it seemed to devour all her rationality.

“Master! You…” Sheng Rao struggled and tried to push Immortal Master Qing Chen away with both hands, but her strength seemed so insignificant in front of him.

Immortal Qingchen's kiss gradually deepened, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this kiss, including anger, unwillingness, and deep attachment.
