I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Gu Xi kept staring at Xiao Wanqing beside Yuan Chu, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

Xiao Wanqing vaguely felt that someone was watching her, as if she was a meal being stared at by a cheetah. She had an indescribable creepy feeling.

At this time, the ceremony was almost over, and most of the disciples from various sects who came to participate in the Kunlun Sect competition were taken to the Kunlun Sect's guest rooms to rest.

Yuanchu naturally knew that his little disciple's work was also over, and that he should return to his own courtyard in Qingqi Peak, otherwise his little disciple would be worried if he couldn't find him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chu cleared his throat and said to Xiao Wanqing: "I'm leaving now, please do as you please."

Just after he finished speaking and before he stood up, he saw Gu Xi walking towards him. He then remembered that he had been eating melon seeds and slacking off for the past few hours and had not visited her.

I had an inexplicable feeling of guilt, as if I had not fulfilled my responsibilities as a master.

But she changed her mind and thought, why should she feel guilty? It was just a few hours since she hadn't visited her. The child should learn to be independent when she grows up. She convinced herself and felt at ease again.

After a while, Gu Xi walked up to the two of them and shouted to Yuan Chu: "Master"

Yuan Chu then stood up, and Xiao Wanqing followed suit.

Seeing the two of them performing the same movements one after the other, Gu Xi looked at Xiao Wanqing with a serious look.

Yuanchu didn't notice that Gu Xi was in a bad mood at all, and said to Xiao Wanqing in a good mood, "My apprentice is here to pick me up, I'm leaving first." His face was full of naked boasting.

Before leaving, he whispered into Xiao Wanqing's ear in a voice that only two people could hear, "Good luck, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Wanqing widened her eyes, rolled her eyes at her and snorted.

Yuanchu was in a good mood, "Let's go, Xiao Guxi, let's go back to the peak."

A strange feeling came over me. What was the relationship between Master and this woman? What did Master say to her that made Master so happy? I rarely saw Master showing his emotions like this.

The haze buried in the bottom of my heart has been hovering in my heart and lingering. Gu Xi pretended to be curious and asked Xiang Yuanchu: "Master, who was the woman next to you before? Why have I never seen her before?"

"She is Xiao Wanqing, the daughter of the head of the Baiyue Peak next door."

The daughter of the head of Baiyue Peak? Gu Xi silently repeated it in her mind.

"Is the Master very close to her?"

Friends? No, the most common thing they exchanged when they met was sarcastic remarks, but it was hard to say they were friends.

"No, I just happened to meet her today and chatted with her for a while."

Hearing Yuanchu say this, Gu Xi's unhappiness instantly dissipated and she became happy again. The master belongs to her alone, and no one can interfere, she thought.

Seeing his apprentice asking this, Yuanchu couldn't help but feel strange and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Gu Xi’s happy expression was visible to the naked eye, and he quickly shook his head, “No.”

"Why, are you afraid that I, your master, will be snatched away?"

Gu Xi heard her teasing, but did not deny it, and his face turned red uncontrollably.

Yuanchu habitually patted Gu Xi's head and chuckled twice, "Don't worry, your master will not be snatched away by anyone, silly disciple."

She suddenly remembered that the day after tomorrow would be the day when Gu Xi would participate in the preliminary elimination round. It was still early, and she wanted to go see how her little disciple was doing with his training.

Although she admitted that she was a little off most of the time, she must not be vague about important matters.

Yuanchu straightened his expression and said, "Master, I see that you are not on the list for tomorrow's competition, so I guess it will be the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, disciple knows."

"How have you been practicing lately?"

Gu Xi knew that his master was worried about his competition the day after tomorrow, so he whispered, "Not bad."

Although Gu Xi has always been self-aware, he has never worried about cultivation.

But things are different now. She will be competing with others the day after tomorrow, and she must confirm the current level of her little disciple's practice.

So she said, "Let's go. Don't rush back to the courtyard. Let's go to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the back mountain to fight with Master."

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, she knew that her master had already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, while she had just established her foundation not long ago. If she fought with her master... she would have no chance of winning.

"Don't worry, I just want to see the specific situation of your current cultivation." Seeing that Gu Xi was slow to move, Yuan Chu comforted her.

The two then arrived at the purple bamboo forest in the back mountain.

"What level have you reached in practicing the Thousand Mountains Nine Techniques?"

"Reporting to Master, I am a slow learner and have only reached the third level."

Yuan Chu taught Gu Xi the Nine Secrets of the Thousand Mountains after she had established her foundation. It was not easy for her to practice to the third level in just over a month.

"Yes, in that case, draw your sword."

Gu Xi summoned his own sword, holding the hilt with both hands facing downwards, and bowed to her, "Master, please forgive my rudeness."

The master and the disciple stood with swords in their hands. The air was filled with strong spiritual energy, and their clothes were blown up by the wind.

Every time the sword was drawn, it was like an attack like a violent storm. The two spirit swords collided with each other, sparking sparks. A powerful shock wave spread out, and a large piece of bamboo leaves that had fallen on the ground was rolled up. The silver swords danced wildly, and the two swords were entangled together.

Yuanchu kept his cultivation at the early stage of foundation building and did not show mercy just because his opponent was his young disciple.

Each of his moves was swift and the sword energy was full of spiritual power. After Gu Xi received more than ten moves from Yuan Chu's attack, he gradually felt the strain.

Yuanchu discovered that his little disciple only knew how to rely on his own spiritual power to block his sword moves, but would not take the initiative to attack. Could it be that he was embarrassed to attack him? This would not work on the field.

"Why do you only know how to defend and not how to attack?" Yuanchu asked sternly with a frown on his face.

After a fierce fight, Gu Xi realized how big the gap was between himself and those cultivators.

I was simply being suppressed and beaten by my master, who kept attacking without giving me any chance to breathe. I was always receiving sword attacks in a defensive posture and had no chance to counterattack at all.

And the master asked him why he didn't take the initiative to attack. Gu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that he had the will but not the strength. He was suppressed and had no chance to fight back.

After dozens of rounds, Yuan Chu discovered that Gu Xi's breath was becoming more and more disordered, and his sword-catching skills were gradually becoming disorganized.

So, she stopped and said, "Okay, that's enough, let's take a break first."

After the two men put away their swords, Yuan Chu's expression didn't change much and his breathing was not disordered, while Gu Xi's face became hot and he was breathing heavily.

Seeing the huge gap between himself and his master, Gu Xi felt that all the months of training he had done were in vain. He lowered his head with shame on his face and said, "My apprentice is not good at learning, please punish me, Master."

Yuanchu knew that his little disciple was frightened by him and thought that he had practiced very poorly.

So he said in a gentle voice: "You have practiced very well, but you just lack some practical experience. In the future, you should learn more from your fellow disciples or teachers to accumulate some experience."

Seeing that Gu Xi had almost finished resting, Yuanchu shouted, "Come, I will teach you how to break down the moves."

Then she stretched out her hand and grasped the empty space, and then the blue jade sword appeared in her hand. She shook her right wrist, and a blue spiritual power floated over the sword, and a layer of strong sword energy quickly spread in the air.

He began to repeat the moves he had just used, explaining the key points while demonstrating them.

It was clearly the same move, but Yuanchu performed it completely differently. The sword energy danced, and the surrounding spiritual power attached to the sword. As the sword danced, the bamboo leaves in the purple bamboo forest trembled continuously, and the falling bamboos flying all over the sky caused rustling sounds all around.

"No matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. In short, remember this: Where your heart leads, your sword will follow."

"Merge your mind with the sword. You are the sword and the sword is you."

Gu Xi watched her master explaining things to her in detail. Her eyes followed the tip of the sword, her gaze firm and bright, and her pupils seemed to be filled with tiny starlight.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Yuanchu's clear and gentle voice rang out clearly in the silent bamboo forest.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand."

As expected of my apprentice, he understands things immediately.

Yuanchu raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with joy, "Okay, practice it again and experience it yourself."
