Chapter 455: Chapter 224 "Aunt Ruo, You Misunderstood...
The night sky stretched endlessly, with azure spiritual power leaving a tail mark as it flickered among the stars. The autumn night’s breeze brought a chill, as Lu Jin’an covered his crucial parts with both hands, feeling quite embarrassed.
Even though spiritual power enveloped the surroundings, being flown through the sky naked was still incredibly shameful.
If someone saw him and the news spread, he’d die of embarrassment.
He definitely didn’t want the nickname "Bird at Moonlight".
Also... it kind of hurt too!
Earlier, Xiao Yinruo burst in suddenly, scaring his master into complete exhaustion, plummeting straight down. Unfortunately, he wasn’t strong enough to help...
Although his master’s bottom line wasn’t considered ’strong’, he genuinely couldn’t break through, especially since it was a crucial moment, that crash was exceptionally... ’bittersweet’.
Feeling the pain easing a bit, Lu Jin’an glanced at Xiao Yinruo’s fingers, the glow of spiritual power flickering on her fingertips, allowing her to grip his sweaty shoulders without slipping.
He didn’t dare to look at Xiao Yinruo’s face because the marks belonging to him there were too obvious, and Xiao Yinruo didn’t seem intent on wiping them away.
But that’s not important; what’s important is that he’s stark naked right now!
"Palace Master Xiao."
"Palace Master Xiao."
"Palace Master Xiao..."
Seeing that Xiao Yinruo did not respond, Lu Jin’an changed his form of address: "Aunt Ruo."
Xiao Yinruo’s gaze slightly shifted, glancing at him briefly before quickly looking away, her earlobes slightly red.
Not only had she seen this child, Jin’an, completely exposed, but she also sat on his chest... Yet compared to the lingering taste on her face and lips, these were nothing.
More importantly, she saved him from Pei Wanyu, that demoness.
Next was to head to the Wandao Sect to dispel the empathy technique cast on Mu Qingyue, then tell Zheng Dongliu the truth, have him hold off Pei Wanyu, allowing herself to take Jin’an back to Qingmiao Palace for a while.
Once things settled down, she’d return the child to the Wandao Sect.
As she thought, without waiting for Lu Jin’an to continue, she casually retrieved a garment from the Storage Ring and handed it over.
Lu Jin’an took a glance; it was a skirt...
He glanced again at Xiao Yinruo, indeed, Aunt Ruo’s inner feelings weren’t as calm as her face suggested.
"This is a skirt," Lu Jin’an reminded.
Xiao Yinruo hurriedly took out a white outer robe and handed it to him: "Just make do with it for now."
As she spoke, she hastily wiped her lips with the back of her hand, noticing the lingering string between her lips and hand, her eye twitched, then quickly wiped it with her sleeve.
Feeling like her body had the child’s scent...
Listening to Xiao Yinruo’s tone, Lu Jin’an pretended not to notice this scene, but he felt a bit relieved in his heart. Judging by Palace Master Xiao’s tone and behavior, it didn’t seem like she harbored any malice towards him.
Confirming this, Lu Jin’an dressed in Xiao Yinruo’s outer robe, and then spoke of the main issue: "Aunt Ruo, why did you attack my master just now? And why did you take me away?"
"You don’t know?" Xiao Yinruo countered.
Lu Jin’an was even more puzzled: "Why should I know?"
Xiao Yinruo paused her breath, couldn’t help but scrutinize Lu Jin’an more, had this child been ’trained’ to the point of becoming used to it, unaware?
At this moment, Lu Jin’an averted his gaze, because the marks on Xiao Yinruo’s face were just too conspicuous.
Previously, being hugged by Xiao Yinruo in Jing’an City was already unpredictable, and now he had even more intimate contact with her.
How was this any different from being completely exposed?
Especially since the aloof fairy in front of him was Nanzhi’s master... If Nanzhi found out, who knows if she would explode?
"You’ve been treated like a dog by that ’mother-daughter’ pair, and you say you don’t know?" Xiao Yinruo frowned, looking at Lu Jin’an: "Don’t be afraid, even if Pei Wanyu is a Great Demon from the Huang Clan, I... Aunt Ruo will stand up for you!
Also, Sect Master Zheng, he certainly wouldn’t let this happen to you, and I’ve set up a Barrier, they won’t discover it anytime soon, so rest assured..."
"Wait!" Lu Jin’an hurriedly interrupted Xiao Yinruo’s words. While he felt a bit happy knowing his master’s true form, Aunt Ruo’s misunderstanding was too great!
"Aunt Ruo, I haven’t been treated like a dog by my master... nor by Senior Sister." Lu Jin’an glanced at her face, then looked away: "Why would you think that?"
"No?" Xiao Yinruo let out a cold laugh: "Then why did you pause when you speak?"
After saying this, her voice softened: "I know your current predicament, but silence or lying won’t solve the problem. So many people have expectations for you, so you must bravely tell the truth...
Don’t ever feel ashamed, it’s just a minor frost on the path of Cultivation, understand?"
"..."
Lu Jin’an looked at Xiao Yinruo helplessly. How could Palace Master Xiao be so good at overthinking?
"Really no!" Lu Jin’an quickly emphasized: "The things you said are completely fabricated; I can swear by the Heavenly Dao!"
Xiao Yinruo looked at him skeptically, thought for a moment, and said: "Then swear an oath for me to see."
"..."
Lu Jin’an, feeling helpless, raised his right hand, his fingers glowed with spiritual power, and quickly said: "I, Lu Jin’an, swear by the Heavenly Dao, that my master, Pei Wanyu, never treated me like a dog... except for flirting, if I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning and never advance in cultivation!"
With the Heavenly Dao oath made, Lu Jin’an looked at Xiao Yinruo and said: "Aunt Ruo, do you believe me now?"
Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but slow down her flight, had she misunderstood?
But as the thought crossed her mind, her gaze sharpened again: "You mentioned Qingyue’s name earlier, why didn’t you include Qingyue in your oath now?
