NOVEL NEXT Chapter 422 Heavenly Master 129
The Azure Dragon circling Dong Wentao's car, having seen the Evil Ghosts that previously surged forward get thoroughly annihilated, raised its head in delight and let out a long howl, then affectionately flew over and circled Situ Shuangshuang several times!
This Azure Dragon was carved and endowed with a form and a bit of Spiritual Wisdom by Situ Shuangshuang herself. In a certain sense, Situ Shuangshuang is like the parent to this Azure Dragon, and naturally, the Azure Dragon feels an infinite affection for her!
Situ Shuangshuang patted the Azure Dragon's large head, feeding it some Spiritual Energy, only then did the Azure Dragon, satisfied, spiral into the air and let out a long cry, before diving down towards Dong Wentao! It returned to the Green Dragon Jade, transforming back into a jade dragon coiled on the surface of the jade once more!
Inside the car, Dong Wentao and his classmates, holding talisman papers in their hands, dumbfoundedly watched the imposing figure outside. That entrance scene not only wiped out all the Evil Ghosts but also sent the other Evil Ghosts fleeing in terror, leaving no ghost daring to linger in front of her—Situ Shuangshuang! Their hearts were utterly shocked!
Dong Wentao knew his master was incredible, but he never imagined that his master could be so phenomenally powerful!
For some reason, originally very resistant to becoming a Heavenly Master and seeing ghosts every day, watching the heroic display of Situ Shuangshuang, Dong Wentao suddenly felt an infinite longing for the Heavenly Master role he once resisted with utmost dislike!
Dong Wentao even couldn't help but fantasize, that if someday, he too could be as formidable as his master, to effortlessly turn Evil Ghosts to dust with a wave of his hand—what a sight it would be!
The Evil Ghosts were cleared by Situ Shuangshuang, calming Dong Wentao down, who then opened the car door and stepped out, walking excitedly towards Situ Shuangshuang, his face full of the relief of surviving a disaster and trust in Situ Shuangshuang, "Master, I knew you'd definitely come to rescue me!"
Before Situ Shuangshuang could speak, a cold snort came from the side, "I think you're asking for trouble, not putting effort into your studies, foolishly wandering into such a place!"
Upon hearing this familiar low voice, Dong Wentao's body stiffened instantly. He was too familiar with this voice; if it weren't his older brother Dong Wenyuan, who else could it be? If asked who Dong Wentao feared most, it was definitely not his father Dong Ling, but this older brother Dong Wenyuan who spoiled him since young yet was exceedingly strict with him!
Dong Wentao stiffly lifted his head, seeing his older brother, who was a head taller than him, standing beside Situ Shuangshuang, looking down at him from above, with eyes filled with the anger of one who couldn't bear the other's failure!
While driving over before, Situ Shuangshuang had already analyzed with Dong Wenyuan why Dong Wentao would end up on the Yin Road. In fact, there wasn't much need for analysis—it was obvious; certainly, it was because he hadn't mastered his Yin Yang Eye, mistaking the Yin Road for the Yang Road!
The fact that his younger brother, after being taken up the mountain for special training by Situ Shuangshuang for some time, still hadn't even crossed the threshold to becoming a Heavenly Master infuriated Dong Wenyuan even more!
Within this anger was Dong Wenyuan's indignation at his brother's incompetence, but more so it was a worry that his brother, unable to learn skills sufficient for self-defense, might be harmed by ghosts in the future!
Situ Shuangshuang was also unwilling to waste more time in this place, immediately shoving her unlucky disciple Dong Wentao back into the car, placing a talisman on Dong Wentao's car, and having him continue driving, while Situ Shuangshuang still accompanied Dong Wenyuan in a car, quickly leaving the freezing cold place!
Everyone unanimously agreed not to linger a moment longer in this dreaded cold and dark place! This time, when everyone exited the entrance of the Yin Road opened by Situ Shuangshuang, as soon as they entered the mortal world, the warm sunshine immediately dispelled the bone-chilling cold they'd felt in the Yin Realm!
Having come out, Situ Shuangshuang closed the Yin Road. Opening it was difficult, but closing it was easy; withdrawing the Mana and the Yin Road would naturally close, without requiring any effort from Situ Shuangshuang.
After traveling through the Yin Realm, everyone had some Yin Qi infiltrate their bodies. Situ Shuangshuang applied several talismans to expel the Yin Qi from everyone, after which Dong Wentao's roommates, having thanked Situ Shuangshuang, bid farewell, while Dong Wentao stayed with Dong Wenyuan at Situ Shuangshuang's home.
The main reason was that Dong Wenyuan intended to lecture his foolish brother that night. After Dong Wenyuan's reprimand, Dong Wentao, with his head drooping, once again came before Situ Shuangshuang, waiting for his master's scolding.
Watching Dong Wentao standing in front of her, looking like a child who'd done wrong, waiting for parental admonishment, Situ Shuangshuang truly didn't know what to say!
Over this period, Situ Shuangshuang prided herself on being a responsible master, even though Dong Wentao couldn't get started on his Heavenly Master training, she still wholeheartedly taught him as much knowledge that didn't require cultivation as possible. If Dong Wentao had been careful enough, he shouldn't have ended up on the Yin Road!
Situ Shuangshuang did these things to help Dong Wentao avoid danger as much as possible, but she never expected that despite Dong Wentao knowing how dangerous his Yin Yang Eye was, he still didn't exercise caution, leading him so easily into the Yin Road.
Having the Yin Yang Eye makes one very likely to inadvertently step into the Yin Road and be harmed by local Evil Ghosts, which isn't a rare case according to Taoist Book records. Thus, Situ Shuangshuang meticulously explained to Dong Wentao how to discern the Yin Road, more than once.
At the time, Dong Wentao listened very attentively, and Situ Shuangshuang thought her words had sunk in; she even thought that if, at least, he couldn't manage cultivation prowess, being careful could solve many issues. But Dong Wentao, seemingly serious, hadn't really taken her words to heart, which made Situ Shuangshuang feel uncomfortable. Although she wasn't very fond of taking Dong Wentao as a disciple, she truly tried to be a responsible master, yet now, Situ Shuangshuang suddenly felt disheartened!
Seeing Dong Wentao, in his guise of waiting to be scolded, Situ Shuangshuang did not reproach him with the strictness she usually used when teaching him. Instead, her attitude became very calm and indifferent.
"Dong Wentao, I see you don't really like being a Heavenly Master. If that's the case, you don't need to force yourself. To ensure safety, you don't necessarily have to learn to become a Heavenly Master with me."
Seeing Dong Wentao's face instantly turn pale upon hearing her words, a look of urgent desire to explain, Situ Shuangshuang, with an unfeeling and cold attitude, didn't give Dong Wentao a chance to explain, continuing to convey her intentions.
"I can seal your Yin Yang Eye and carve a protective Array on you to fend off most Evil Ghost attacks. Plus, with the Green Dragon Jade on you for protection, as long as the Dragon Soul on it can devour Evil Ghosts, it will maintain its spiritual essence!"
"Master! Master, I was wrong! I will cultivate diligently in the future and seriously listen to your teachings! Master, master, please don't do this! I promise to learn properly from you from now on!"
