"Master, why...why do you always ignore my disciple, who is just a child?" Hu Yin's voice was choked with sobs, and veins on his hands holding the chain gradually bulged.

Ji Xiuzhu's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Hu Yin's tolerance towards her had reached its limit, but as a master, she also had her considerations and difficulties.

"Huyin, do you know why your master is always strict with you?" Ji Xiuzhu's voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor.

She walked slowly towards Hu Yin, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she wanted to see into the depths of his soul.

Hu Yin gritted his teeth, tears flashing in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

"I don't know, I just feel that Master has never taken me seriously."

Ji Xiuzhu sighed, and then, with a wave of his hand, a flash of inspiration appeared, and the chain was frozen and shattered in an instant.

Once she was able to move freely, she reached out and gently patted Huyin's head.

Then, he raised his hand and held Hu Yin's cheek, and said slowly: "You are wrong, Yin'er. The reason why I am strict with you is because I have high expectations for you. You are gifted. If you are not strictly disciplined, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility in the future?

Yin'er, I know your feelings. But I cannot respond to you. You are like the stars in the sky, and I am just a glimmer, just guiding the way. We are destined to go different ways. "

Hu Yin's body shook slightly. He raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Master, you know. I don't mind! I just want to be with you forever."

Hu Yin held Ji Xiuzhu's hand tightly and whispered, "Master, I understand your painstaking efforts. But my intentions are not impulsive. No matter what the future holds, I am willing to face it together with you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu was stunned for a few seconds.

However, just as Ji Xiuzhu was stunned, a pair of strong hands instantly touched her waist and then held her tightly.

"Master, now that things have come to this, please be more considerate of your disciple..."

After saying that, Hu Yin looked at Ji Xiu Zhu lovingly, and then, in this extremely ambiguous atmosphere, Hu Yin instantly kissed Ji Xiu Zhu's lips.

Ji Xiuzhu's pupils suddenly shrank. She had never expected Hu Yin to do such a thing.

Her heart almost stopped at that moment, and then began beating violently like a storm.

She wanted to push Huyin away, but her body became stiff in this sudden close contact.

Hu Yin's kiss was filled with determination and desire; his emotions poured out like a flood, trying to convey to Ji Xiuzhu through this kiss.

His hands were tightly wrapped around Ji Xiuzhu's waist, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

However, Ji Xiuzhu is her master after all, and her rationality gradually prevails amid her chaotic emotions.

She pushed Huyin away with force, her face showing an extremely complicated expression, showing anger, astonishment, and a barely perceptible hesitation.

"Hu Yin, what are you doing? Wasn't what your master said clear enough? You seem to be a little uncalm. In that case, go to the Cliff of Reflection and reflect on your mistakes. Come down when you have figured it out." Ji Xiuzhu's voice was trembling. She tried hard to maintain the dignity of a master, but the turmoil in her heart was difficult to calm down.

After being pushed away, the expression on Hu Yin's face changed from passion to loss. He knew he had crossed the line, but he did not regret it.

He looked straight at Ji Xiuzhu, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"Master, I know this is against the rules, but my feelings are real. I am willing to bear all the consequences, and I only hope that Master can understand my heart. I am willing to accept the punishment, but I don't think I am wrong."

After Hu Yin finished speaking, he immediately turned around, leaving only silence.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu took a deep breath. She knew that this situation must be resolved.

Her eyes became firm and her voice became calm again.

"Huyin, you are my disciple and I am your master. There is no room for any transgression in the relationship between us. I cannot respond to your emotions. I will pretend that what happened today never happened. But from now on, you must control your behavior and not have any unreasonable thoughts."

Hu Yin didn't look back, but when he heard Ji Xiuzhu's words, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

He had heard Ji Xiuzhu say this kind of rejection many times.

Ji Xiuzhu turned around and stopped herself from looking at Hu Yin's departing back, for she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted.

She knew very well what Hu Yin was thinking, but there was a difference in their identities, and those who practice Taoism should avoid falling in love. Once they fall in love, they will develop inner demons that will hinder their practice.

"Sigh..." Ji Xiuzhu sighed, hoping that Hu Yin could figure it out soon and let go of this relationship.

After seeing off Hu Yin, Cui Yunshen came over with a tray of delicious food.

But as soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on a pile of debris on the ground.

He hurriedly put the tray on the table and quickly picked up the crumbs on the floor.

While cleaning up, he asked, "Master, what were you doing in the room just now? Why are there so many crumbs?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu raised her eyes slightly and took a look. Seeing that the person coming was Cui Yunshen, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly walked to the table and said calmly, "I didn't do anything. I was just bored, so I just fiddled with some techniques."

Cui Yunshen looked at Ji Xiuzhu in confusion, but felt a little suspicious.

He always felt that something was wrong with Ji Xiuzhu, but he couldn't tell what it was. After he cleaned up the crumbs, he placed the delicacies on the tray on the table one by one.

"Master, I went to the kitchen specially to make these. You can try them and see if they suit your taste. Since you like sweet food, I added a little more honey." Cui Yunshen said with a smile.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded slightly, then took a bowl of soup and said, "You are thoughtful."

After she finished drinking, she picked up a dish at random and put it in her mouth. It tasted pretty good.

Looking at Cui Yunshen in front of her, she couldn't help but think of Hu Yin.

It would be great if Hu Yin could be as sensible and obedient as Cui Yunshen.

"By the way, little brat, have you made any progress in your practice recently?" Ji Xiuzhu asked.

Cui Yunshen quickly replied: "Master, I feel that my cultivation has improved recently. Thank you for your concern."

Ji Xiuzhu nodded: "Well, you have to keep working hard and don't slack off. Remember, you are the one who is going to ascend."

"Yes, disciple understands. Master, please try these again." Cui Yunshen responded.

"Ascending to heaven is not something that can be achieved overnight. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time." Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Cui Yunshen picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Ji Xiuzhu: "Don't worry, Master. Eat it, Master. This is a new dish I learned."

Ji Xiuzhu opened his mouth and took a bite, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It tastes good."

The master and the disciple ate and chatted together in a harmonious atmosphere.

In this way, Ji Xiuzhu, accompanied by Cui Yunshen, had a pleasant meal.
