When Lin Yu heard what Immortal Qingchen said, he frowned and looked back and forth between Sheng Rao and Immortal Qingchen.

He sensed something was wrong between the two of them.

Although Lin Yu was young, he was very thoughtful and was able to keenly perceive the subtle changes in the atmosphere.

He thought to himself, could it be that his Grand Master was displeased because he was too close to his Master?

No, it definitely wasn't because of this. Lin Yu's heart suddenly shook. He saw that the look in Immortal Qingchen's eyes when he looked at Sheng Rao contained a kind of tenderness and possessiveness that he had never seen in anyone else's eyes.

He had had this kind of look before when he looked at Sheng Rao, but Immortal Qing Chen's look was deeper, as if it contained thousands of years of emotion and persistence.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Lin Yu's heart, and he suddenly felt a fear that Sheng Rao might be taken away, but he quickly suppressed these emotions. He remained calm and secretly observed the two of them.

"What Grandmaster taught me, I will keep in mind, practice hard, and live up to the expectations of Master and Grandmaster." Lin Yu's voice was deep and unpredictable.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Qingchen's gaze lingered on Lin Yu for a moment, and finally fell on Sheng Rao.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Grandmaster, is there anything I can't listen to?" Lin Yu was secretly competing with Immortal Qing Chen at this time.

Immortal Qingchen looked at Sheng Rao with ulterior motives, and Sheng Rao had an indescribable feeling towards Immortal Qingchen. Lin Yu was afraid, for he was afraid that Sheng Rao would be taken away by Immortal Qingchen.

Seeing this, Sheng Rao felt that this was a Shura field. She could naturally feel Lin Yu's nervousness and uneasiness, as well as the possessiveness of Immortal Qing Chen that could not be ignored. She sighed softly, trying to ease the subtle atmosphere.

"Lin Yu, you continue to practice first. I have some things that I need to discuss with Master alone." There was a hint of comfort in Sheng Rao's words. She looked at Lin Yu with gentle yet firm eyes, trying to reassure him.

Although Lin Yu was unwilling, he also understood that this was not the time to be willful. He nodded, sat down again and continued his practice, but from time to time he secretly glanced in the direction where the two people left.

Sheng Rao followed Immortal Qing Chen to a quiet valley, surrounded by lush trees. The air was filled with a faint spiritual energy that seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts.

"Master, is there anything you want to talk to me about in private?" Sheng Rao was the first to break the silence. She tried to face the impending storm with a calm tone.

Immortal Master Qingchen turned around, his deep eyes fixed on Sheng Rao, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Rao'er, do you know that ever since you appeared in my life, I can no longer ignore your existence."

His voice was low and magnetic, and every word was like a hammer hitting Sheng Rao's heart.

"I don't expect you to think about me every day, but can you think of me when you care about Lin Yu? Even for just a moment."

There was bitterness and helplessness in Immortal Qingchen's tone. He came here for her. So what if she didn't have her previous memories? As long as she still loved her, even a little bit would be enough.

Originally he wanted to keep her by his side, but he didn't want her to be sad. As long as she was happy, it didn't matter what happened to her.

But her eyes were towards her apprentice. Was she the one she liked Lin Yu?

If she likes that, he can become like that.

“Master, you are very good, but now I have a connection with Lin Yu.”

Before Sheng Rao could finish her words, she was interrupted by Immortal Master Qing Chen.

"You and him are destined to be together, so why don't you agree to him? Don't think I don't know this, Rao'er, you have me in your heart, right?"

As Immortal Qingchen finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, even the gently swaying leaves around them stopped, leaving only the two people's light breathing sounds intertwined together. His words were unquestionable firmness, but also a bit of caution, as if he was afraid that his words would hurt her.

Sheng Rao heard this and suddenly felt reluctant to hurt him. She finally sighed softly and said slowly: "Master, I don't want to lie to you. You and Lin Yu make me very entangled."

At this point, Sheng Rao's voice trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and continued, "Master, I used to think that my feelings for you were just respect and admiration. Until recently, I gradually realized that the feeling was much more complicated than I thought. However, this belated awakening has also plunged me into deep confusion and struggle. I don't know how to face you, let alone how to deal with this sudden emotion. But the same goes for me towards Lin Yu. Master, am I very bad? I can't let go of either of you, so I rejected both of you."

After hearing this, Immortal Qingchen's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including relief and deeper desire.

He slowly approached Sheng Rao until they were close enough that they could feel each other's breath.

"Rao'er, you don't have to rush to give me an answer, and you don't have to force yourself. I just hope you can understand that no matter what your choice is, I will respect you and support you, but please allow me to continue to stay by your side as your master, or... any other identity you are willing to accept."

As long as she has him in her heart, that's enough.

Sheng Rao looked at Immortal Qingchen's eyes, which were full of tenderness and persistence, and her heart was filled with unprecedented warmth and emotion.

She nodded slightly, as if responding, and also as if making a promise to herself. "Master, thank you. Please give me some time to sort out my thoughts, okay?"

Immortal Qingchen smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the haze around them.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I'm willing to wait."

The two of them stood quietly in the valley, as if the whole world had stopped.

The silence was broken only by Lin Yu's voice calling from afar.

"Master! Where are you?"

Sheng Rao came back to her senses and looked in the direction where Lin Yu was running, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Then she turned to Immortal Qingchen and said, "Master, let's go back. Lin Yu is still waiting for us."

Immortal Qingchen nodded, and the two of them walked towards Lin Yu together.

When they appeared in Lin Yu's sight, Lin Yu was obviously relieved, but there was still a hint of imperceptible vigilance in his eyes.

Sheng Rao patted Lin Yu's shoulder gently to comfort him.

"Lin Yu, let's go back. Master just had some important things to discuss with me."

Hearing this, Lin Yu forced a smile. Although he had many questions and concerns in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to ask further questions.

He followed Sheng Rao and Immortal Qing Chen silently. The three of them walked on the road together. The scenery along the way was still beautiful, but in Lin Yu's eyes, it seemed to be covered with a layer of faint shadow.

Immortal Venerable Qing Chen said goodbye to the two and went back, while Sheng Rao and Lin Yu returned to the cave where they practiced, but the atmosphere inside became subtle and awkward.
