Inside the room, Chu Ge stopped writing his diary and casually claimed his daily diary cultivation reward—Star Apertures +4.
His cultivation grew stronger once more. Naturally, Chu Ge was delighted, and while the momentum was hot, he immediately entered into cultivation.
As he cultivated, time quickly passed.
The next day.
"This is the Supreme Technique of Taihuang, along with its Aperture-Refining Diagram," Luo Huangjun said calmly.
By all logic, Chu Ge had only joined the Taihuang Sacred Land for a few days. Even as a personal disciple, he technically did not yet have the qualifications to receive the supreme technique inheritance.
However, at this moment, the hidden benefits brought by the Heavenly Dao Evolution earlier began to take effect.
When Luo Huangjun proposed to bestow the technique upon Chu Ge, half of the core elders chose to agree. Among the remaining half, many selected silence instead.
Among the remaining opponents, a large portion belonged to factions close to the Luo family. Because of the matter of plotting to seize the Huanglong Seal, quite a few elders held objections. As a result, even those elders close to the Luo family were now viewed with displeasure as well.
The opposing voices were quickly suppressed, and the matter was smoothly finalized.
From beginning to end, Luo Huangjun only brought it up once. After that, it had nothing more to do with her.
So much so that many of the prepared arguments she had readied went unused, catching her somewhat by surprise.
Originally, she had intended to use this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and warn certain unruly groups. Who would have thought that things would proceed far more smoothly than expected? The matter could only be dropped.
Chu Ge had not expected such an unexpected delight so early in the morning.
"Thank you, Master!"
He revealed to Luo Huangjun a gentle smile, as warm as spring breeze.
This smile caused the heart of a certain cold and aloof Holy Lord to quicken ever so slightly.
"Close your eyes. Your master will bestow the inheritance upon you,"
Luo Huangjun said solemnly, subtly shifting her gaze away from Chu Ge's handsome face.
"Yes, Master."
Chu Ge obediently complied and immediately closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Huangjun shifted her gaze back to his face once more and stared at him for a moment before taking the next step.
She gently extended two fingers and lightly touched his glabella. The movement was delicate and extremely gentle—more like a caress than a tap.
Chu Ge only felt a cool sensation at the center of his brow. The next moment, countless streams of memories surged into his mind.
After a while, Chu Ge recovered from the shock of the memory influx, feeling somewhat mentally fatigued. He subconsciously raised his hand to rub his brow.
But with that motion, he unexpectedly grasped a soft, delicate hand.
The slender hand was tender and smooth, carrying a faint coolness.
Chu Ge froze. Opening his eyes, he saw that Luo Huangjun's hand was still resting on his brow, and his own hand had just happened to wrap around her fair, slender wrist.
His gaze slowly lifted, and his eyes met a pair of bright, rippling eyes. At that moment, those eyes trembled slightly. Chu Ge could even clearly see each of her long, curled eyelashes.
Master and disciple locked eyes for a short while.
Chu Ge, of course, was more than happy with the situation. His Master's hand was soft and cool, its feel needing no further description. He even had the impulse to give it a gentle squeeze.
He did not hurry to let go. After all, he harbored rebellious thoughts toward his cold Master. Being able to share even this small moment of intimacy naturally suited his desires.
Only when Luo Huangjun seemed to snap out of her daze did her expression begin to change, and the hand held by him showed the slightest reaction.
Seeing this, Chu Ge understood that this fleeting, ambiguous moment was about to end. With remarkable cunning, he released her hand first.
This sudden move caused Luo Huangjun to be stunned once again. She had originally intended to put on a show of scolding him, but seeing how tactful Chu Ge was, she found herself unable to speak further.
Moreover, there truly wasn't much anger in her heart—only a wave of embarrassment that had surged up for an instant.
"Receiving a cultivation inheritance consumes a great deal of mental energy. I helped you neutralize a part of the drain, so that your spirit would not be overly damaged."
