Wang Mu felt his scalp tingle.

Especially at the Magpie Bridge Festival, where she had given him that necklace, which then caused the Rebirth Mirror to reveal a special marital fate between him and Brother Qin. Even the Tribulation Jade Pendant couldn't avoid it. Thinking of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley that came later, Wang Mu's spirit was violently shaken!

The reason Mu Hongyuan was so angry back then wasn't just because Brother Qin stood in front of me. It was also because Brother Qin is the Gu Witch, her disciple. Mu Hongyuan must have thought my relationship with her had gone beyond friendship…

If it weren't for the Heart Imprint Divine Lotus, the consequences would have been truly unpredictable.

An earthquake in his skull!

"I've told you before…" Brother Qin spoke faintly, "I am a woman… now that you've seen me, you won't doubt it, will you?"

Wang Mu instinctively took two steps back.

Back at the Magpie Bridge Festival, if it weren't for Bi You, he might have seen Brother Qin's true form.

"Why are you stepping back?" Brother Qin asked with a smile. "You've passed all my tests, and since you've managed to come here, my Master can't object, and she won't stop us."

Stop us? As if she wouldn't! It would be a miracle if Mu Hongyuan agreed! She must have another trick up her sleeve!

"Is there nothing you wish to say to me, Brother Wang?" the Gu Witch raised her hand slightly.

Wang Mu saw a light blue necklace.

Wang Mu remembered he had crafted this necklace for Brother Qin at the Blissful Shuiyun Stream. Looking back now, it all seemed rather amusing. After all, she was a mighty Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, and to lure him, then a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator, she had indeed put in much effort. And she was still wearing it now.

"I'm just a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm..." Wang Mu moved his lips, sighing helplessly. "Why would your Fengyue Sect use such methods to deal with me?"

"Isn't it good?" the Gu Witch snorted lightly. "A mighty Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator lowering her status to adventure and bond with you, a little Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Doesn't that give you a great sense of accomplishment?"

"Not at all. I only feel a sense of impending crisis," Wang Mu said.

The Gu Witch thought Wang Mu was afraid of her Master and chuckled, "Don't worry, my Master said it herself: as long as you came to the Fengyue Sect and could still see me, she wouldn't hold it against you."

Wouldn't hold it against me? Yeah, right. You only know Mu Lanxue, the Supreme Master of Fengyue Sect. What I know is Mu Hongyuan, the Palace Master of the Shura Demon Palace. She's vengeful and never forgets a slight!

"Furthermore…" the Gu Witch continued with a smile, "Brother Wang, you took the risk to come here..."

At this point, her eyes danced with excitement and softened, shimmering with unmistakable affection.

Though I didn't say it aloud, you must hold a place for me in your heart, mustn't you?

"So, this is amusing for you?" Wang Mu shook his head, his heart stirring. "Since you're in no danger, I'll be leaving now."

Having said that, he turned and left.

He absolutely couldn't afford more interactions with her at this time, for who knows what Mu Hongyuan might do.

Seeing this, the Gu Witch froze for a moment, then quickly hurried after him, calling out urgently, "No, Brother Wang, it's not what you think... wait for me!"

Wang Mu stepped out from behind the beaded curtain.

He must not stay any longer in Moonlight Hut! Mu Hongyuan had allowed him to come here, clearly intending for him to discover Brother Qin's identity. Any moment now, she might show up to condemn him.

He had just stepped outside the room when the Gu Witch tried to follow, but she hadn't even made it out of her chamber.

BANG!

A loud noise erupted, accompanied by a delicate cry. It was as if someone had been struck and sent flying.

Wang Mu turned around and saw that the Gu Witch hadn't managed to leave her own room; she had been thrown backward as if by some powerful restriction.

Wang Mu was taken aback.

What's going on? Was she sealed?

"The Venerable Lord has sealed Senior Sister Gu here..." whispered one of the maids. "She cannot leave this place unless Senior Sister Gu finds a partner to form a Taoist couple. Young Master, Senior Sister Gu has been thinking of you constantly these past days."

"She definitely has no intention of toying with you. You should be able to sense whether her feelings for you are genuine," the other maid added.

"..." Wang Mu.

My apologies, I've already severed my worldly emotions. I really can't feel it. "I can't feel it," Wang Mu shook his head.

"..." The maids.

"Even if you can't feel it, you can see it, right?" one maid whispered. "Look, the Spirit Artifact on Senior Sister Gu's wrist is a Low-grade Spirit Artifact. As a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, the most basic items she possesses are Taoist Spiritual Artifacts. Why would she constantly wear a Low-grade Spirit Artifact?"

"Moreover, she has been wearing this Spirit Artifact ever since she returned from the Shuiyun Stream," the other continued.

"She often caresses it..."

"Honestly, even the gifts Senior Sister usually receives are top-grade at minimum. When has she ever treasured a Low-grade Spirit Artifact so much?"

"Isn't it because this item must have been a gift from you, Young Master?"

"..." Wang Mu.

"The Miss Sword Jade you carry is a supreme treasure of our Fengyue Sect. She gave it to you because she is smitten with you," the maids said. "If Senior Sister Gu felt no affection for you, the pieces of the Jade Sword would never be able to reunite. If you truly feel nothing, Young Master, why not take it out and try to piece them together?"

Wang Mu thought for a moment, took out the Jade Sword, and walked into the room.

He had to settle this once and for all.

"Brother Wang, stop deceiving yourself," the Gu Witch stood up shakily, retrieved her piece of the Jade Sword from her bosom, and scoffed, "I refuse to believe you don't have the slightest feeling for me."

Having said this, she slowly brought her piece of the Jade Sword towards Wang Mu's.

The two pieces of the Jade Sword were meant to unite through Yin Yang Union. However, the very instant they touched...
