good distance, they dared to mutter, "In my opinion, that man who the second young master treasures isn't half as handsome as the young master.""Don't talk nonsense, if the prince hears you later, yo...The rest of the Tianzong Sect were also furious. Over this period, those demonic cultivators had been spreading rumors like this constantly.

The God-Lord claimed he practiced the Path of Unfeeling, devoid of emotion and desire. He was known to be impartial above all else. It was he who slew countless demon cultivators in the past. Yet, now, he plays the role of a sanctimonious hypocrite behind the scenes.

To think that he would have such an improper feeling for his disciple! The relationship between a master and disciple transforming into a romantic one is taboo. While the cultivation world doesn't restrict relationships between men and women, the bond between master and disciple is different. If two people who are master and disciple had a relationship, they would inevitably be viewed with suspicion. And in the cultivation world, there have been instances of master-disciple couples, but those were centuries ago and still talked about today.

Could it be that Si Kong Hengyu, is going to become the second in command

Wouldn't that make a laughingstock of us all!

And the denizens of the demon realm became even more unrestrained. Moreover, in these past few months, Si Kong Hengyu had not made an appearance. The cultivators who initially disbelieved found themselves wavering for a moment.

Could it be that the venerable Lord Shen is truly a hypocritical hypocrite

If that were true, worshipping him as the divine venerated one of this cultivation world, everyone would inevitably harbor some dissatisfaction, disdain, and even cold mockery in their hearts.

Seeing that the situation was escalating, the Tianzongmen disciples were forced to summon the Divine Venerable and seek an explanation from him.

However, the Divine Venerable did not seem to be greatly angered. He only said, “Our Tianzong Sect, when has it ever needed to explain itself to outsiders or act according to their gazes” His words were spoken lightly, but they were filled with a cold and disdainful slant.

The Tianzongmen disciples were also taken aback, then immediately felt a surge of respect in their hearts.

I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.

A sheepish expression crept across his face: “Yes, Divine One, we were foolish.”

But everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and even when the Divine Lord left, they still had some confusion in their hearts. Why would the Divine Lord be slandered to such an extent, especially for something that insulted his reputation, yet he didn't get angry at all

It really baffled them.

Ning Shu didn't know about these things. After hearing Zhou Wu Chang's words, he froze in place. For a while, a chill went through his heart as he thought, "...I am the same as my master..."

He looked a little flustered.

Did everyone in the world already know about his relationship with his master

Zhou Wu Chang didn't notice the boy's strangeness, he only said: "However, these are all things done by those demon cultivators. The Divine Lord is emotionless and desireless, how could he possibly have... that kind of relationship with you They spout such nonsense, when the Divine Lord finds out, he will definitely make them pay."

Ning Shu, however, seemed a little lost. He couldn't help but ask, "What do outsiders say about Master"

He rarely showed concern for others, always prioritizing the Divine Sovereign. "They may say whatever they want," he said, seemingly unconcerned with the weight of their words, "but it won't faze the Divine Sovereign. You, however, burdened by such a reputation... I fear that..."

Ning Shu understood his meaning. He bore such a disgraceful label, even if he cleared it up later, these rumors would inevitably follow him.

He didn't speak, only pausing slightly.

The master's reputation was excellent before, but now it has been completely ruined.

Ning Shu was a little at a loss.

....

He walked alone on the path, Ning Shu knowing those disciples hadn't said anything to him. But those eyes, however, were impossible to conceal.

He could feel those eyes on him.

Ning Shu's heart sank slightly.

Are those things being said outside true Could it be that the Divine Lord truly has a relationship with Ning Shu

"Master Ning is handsome and beautiful. How could someone like the Divine Sovereign, who is emotionless and detached, possibly care about personal matters He must have used some means to make the Divine Sovereign suffer the insults along with him."

“Who doesn’t know, people outside are all talking about Tianzongmen and the Divine Lord.” One of the disciples complained: “How could someone as cold and composed as the Divine Lord possibly be such a hypocrite It’s fine that Ning Shishu was kidnapped by the demons, but the Divine Lord didn't even mention saving him, and now he has to bear this kind of slander.”

"I really feel bad for the Divine Sovereign. If he hadn't had a wood-based spiritual root, his disciple wouldn't have been eligible to..."

Ning Shu listened to these words, rooted in place. Her expression was dazed, and she couldn't help but clench her sword.

"You're all talking nonsense! If the True Person Elder knew you were still gossiping about these things behind his back..." A senior brother came out and whispered, "Is even the Divine Lord someone you can casually talk about behind his back"

Ning Shu raised her foot and walked away.

His heart ached, as if it were being squeezed. Although he bore the brunt of such accusations publicly, deep down, Si Kong Hengyu felt immense pain and discomfort.

Normally, when disciples mentioned their master, they would never dare to speak ill of him. But now, they were whispering about him behind his back.

Ning Shu couldn't imagine how those outside would speak of Si Kong Hengyu.

He walked back to Tianqifeng in silence, his heart filled with a sense of confusion and weariness.

Even when his Master spoke to him, Ning Shu didn't notice.

Sikong Hengyu saw it in his eyes and said coldly, "But someone told you something" He lowered his eyes slightly and hugged the young man over.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, do you really have to hold the Ceremony of Matrimonial Consecration"

Si Kong Hengyu hummed softly, "I don't care how others speak of me." He grasped the young man's fingers, but in his heart he thought, 'But if you were to speak of them, I wouldn't let any of them off.'

Ning Shu didn't speak. He lowered his head, lost in thought for a long time.

....

Several disciples were summoned here by the real person, but they looked at each other with apprehension and unease in their hearts. They didn't know what they had done wrong, so they could only kneel for ten hours straight.

I'm about to collapse from kneeling. My legs are going to be crippled.

Their faces were pale, sweat trickled down their foreheads, and even their lips were chapped. They all looked like they were about to collapse.

As they were about to faint, a light and airy voice rang out: "From today onwards, you are no longer inner disciples. All of you go to the outer sect to do menial work."

Several disciples couldn't help but widen their eyes: "...Disciples don't understand what we have done wrong!"

"Think carefully about what you have done and said. If this happens again, next time you will be expelled from the Heavenly Sect."

Several disciples' faces changed drastically upon hearing this!

Her lips also lost their color.

They only felt regret in their hearts. If they had known that Senior Uncle Ning would react this way behind their backs, they would have clamped their mouths shut long ago. They had finally become inner disciples, but now they were back to being outer disciples. That was even more unbearable than being punished!

Several inner disciples, for some unknown reason, were sent to the outer sect. Throughout Heaven's Peak Sect, it seemed as if everyone had a vague premonition about something, yet they remained tight-lipped, no longer daring to speak a word among themselves in private.

Ning Shu was also slightly taken aback when she learned of this.

Did the master do this

But his heart throbbed with a strange heat.

The boy stroked his chest, yet he didn't know why he felt this way. He pursed his lips slightly and asked Lingling, "Isn't there any other way"

Lingling said, "There's nothing left. Everyone in the world is condemning you today unless Sikuohengyu comes out to prove something."

Ning Shu didn't speak. He said, "What if I stood up"

Ling Ling dimly sensed something: "Host... you want to..." It exclaimed in surprise, "But that way, the world will condemn you. Clearly, it was Si Kong Hengyu who was wrong, why would you do such a thing"

Ning Shu didn't know either, he clearly knew that his master was forcing him. Yet he still...cultivated with him, teasing and insulting him in bed. But he also...loved him to the bone.

But when he thought about it, when Si Kong Heng Yu was being scolded and ridiculed by everyone, his heart ached.

But this is not the Master's fault, it's just that those demons are too shameless.

But I don't want to, their relationship... is really just like the rumors said.

Publicly, they were master and disciple, yet in their embrace on the bed, they were deeply entwined.

His master had held him from behind more than once, making him cry while saying, "My good little disciple."

Ning Shu still blushed thinking about these things.

He spoke, "My master is different from me. When I complete my task...I can leave. But my master will have to endure insults for a lifetime."

Ling Ling: “Host, you’re too good. Even though Si Kong Heng Yu has treated you this way, you still think of him like this. Woooooo, you truly love him deeply….”

Ning Shu couldn't help but be stunned.... He had deep affection for his master

The boy subconsciously denied it, but when he thought of the word, his chest felt as if it had been scorched, and his heart jumped violently.

Ningshu waited for a while before softly saying, “He’s very good to me as well. I’m just returning his kindness as a master and disciple…”

....

"Divine Lord," one elder stood up and said, "Those people are too arrogant! Not only have they not restrained themselves, but they have also provoked our Heavenly Sect!"

When Even those middling sects would dare to speak their minds! It's utterly ridiculous!

Moreover, they have tarnished the Divine Lord's reputation so badly now! Even if we swallow our anger, to hear them insult the Divine Lord's name with their own mouths, this grievance is one we can't possibly stomach.

Several other elders also stood up.

One of the real people said, “It’s just rumors and gossip. Everyone knows that Divine Lord cultivates the Path of No Emotion. Those people are just looking for an excuse to drag the Heavenly Sect down. Everyone can see through their intentions!”

One of the elders spoke up, "What White Ling Zhenren said is very true. In your opinion, is there any way to give them a fright"

The real person touched his beard and said, "It's just some rumors. If the rumors are broken, wouldn't that shut those people up" He paused, looked at one of the older cultivators, and smiled slightly, "Master Mingyang, I remember you took in a water-spirit root disciple a few years ago, named Liu Xueying."

"The Divine Lord's disciple is about the same age as her. The two are both intelligent and well-matched in appearance. Why not first arrange a marriage Wouldn't that silence those people"longing to someone else.Ning Shu didn't mind, after all, he was currently dating Fu Yu. Fu Yu was his boyfriend, not someone else. They had even kissed and hugged.But...Ning Shu looked at the clothes...
