Looking at Yue Jianli's sultry expression, Li Yan's eyes fluttered a little.
He knew what the other party meant by that.
Just now, in the heat of the moment, he had used his Divine Soul Attack and Dharma Phase True Body, and his identity had been exposed.
Although it was essentially for her good, concealing his identity was indeed a fact ...
Li Yan scratched his head and said, "It's a long story."
"Then speak slowly."
Yue Jianli narrowed his eyes, "Why did you become a disciple of your master, and a female disciple at that? This is something I need a reasonable explanation for."
"..."
Li Yan helplessly said, "Actually, it's because of Shen Ning ..."
There was no point in pretending anymore now.
He briefly told the other party what happened after the Immortal Ascension Conference.
Yue Jianli was slightly stunned after hearing this, "You're saying that Shen Ning is ... ? And at the same time, a disciple of the Yu Luo Palace?"
Li Yan nodded. "That's right."
Yue Jianli was a little confused.
She knew that her Master was eager to accept Shen Ning as a disciple, but she didn't expect it to be in this way.
As the head of the righteous path, yet she had taken a disciple of the Devil's Path as her personal disciple?
"It's true that Master's acting style ... is always so unexpected."
Li Yan continued, "I was uneasy about Shen Ning, so I wanted to follow me to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion to take a look. And in order to conceal my identity, Master disguised me into this appearance, and also declared to the public that I am her disciple ..."
Yue Jianli realized with a sudden realization.
No wonder the Master had appeared in the Li Family in the first place, followed by two more personal disciples, it turned out that it was all for this matter.
"However ..."
She pinched her smooth chin, her eyes measuring, "Why did you prefer to disguise yourself into this appearance?"
"..."
Looking at Yue Jianli's smirking expression, Li Yan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground.
He didn't have the heart to say, "It wasn't even Jianshou's idea! She said that the only way to live in the bedchamber was to disguise as a female, and in order to watch Shen Ning cultivate, what could I do?"
"Well, that's true, male disciples really can't enter Master's bedchamber."
Yue Jianli patted his shoulder and stifled a laugh, "As long as this isn't some quirk of yours ... Li Tiezhu? Hahaha!"
"Laugh your ass off!"
Li Yan had a black line on his face.
Yue Jianli laughed for a while before gradually calming down.
She wiped her tears and said, "I can understand all that you said, but why did you keep hiding it from me? When I had a premonition before, you even made up blind lies to deceive me!"
Saying that, she pouted her little mouth.
Just a moment ago, she was overjoyed, but now her pretty face was all aggrieved again.
Li Yan sighed in his heart at the amazing speed of this face change and explained, "I've been on Cloud Sword Island for this period of time, so if I tell you my true identity, what if it exposes our relationship?"
He pinched Yue Jian Li's small face, "I don't want to see you expelled from the division."
Yue Jianli snorted, "In that case, you're still doing it for my own good?"
Li Yan seriously said, "That's natural, otherwise I could act so hard?"
The corner of Yue Jianli's mouth curled up slightly, and the last bit of resentment in her heart dissipated, "Alright, let's say your explanation barely passes."
Only then did Li Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at the smiling Yue Jianli, and said with some doubts, "You don't seem to be surprised by my identity at all? It can't be that you have already guessed it, right?"
Yue Jianli shook her head and said, "I did have this premonition before, but I couldn't figure out a lot of places, so I was never able to be sure. It wasn't until you let me refine the Divine Fire that I was completely sure that you, were Li Yan."
Li Yan froze at his words, "Refining Divine Fire? I had already revealed myself at that time?"
"Of course."
Yue Jianli's eyes were gentle as he said, "That was the Clear Lotus Sacred Flame, a supreme treasure that no Emperor level powerhouse would let go of! In front of such a creation, how could anyone possibly give it away for nothing?"
"At that moment, I knew that you must be Li Yan."
"Because other than you, there wouldn't be another person in the world who would be so kind to me."
The two of them looked at each other, their pulsating warmth was all in unspoken words.
It was as if the cold seabed had warmed up.
They couldn't help but get closer and closer, and then ...
Pah.
Yue Jianli's slender hand blocked his face, red face turned away his head and said, "You, you'd better change back to your own appearance, so I really can't get off with this."
"..."
Li Yan shrugged, "I would like to change back, but this is the sword head's Technique, I have no way to undo it."
Yue Jianli said helplessly, "It seems that this period of time can only look at this face ... but the good thing is that it's a female face, I can still feel a little more comfortable in my heart."
If it was changed to another man's face ... she got goosebumps just thinking about it.
...
Now that things had been said and done, Li Yan's heart was also much lighter.
"Then let's go back to the clan first?"
Yue Jianli pouted, "Don't, if we go back, we'll have to keep our distance from you."
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to Jiang Li City on the west coast and take a look around?"
"Jiang Li City?"
"Well, the scenery over there is nice, and the sea food is delicious, so just accompany me for a stroll."
" Ummm ... Alright."
Anyway, there was nothing to go back, so Li Yan nodded his head and agreed.
"Great, let's go."
Yue Jianli excitedly pulled him up towards the surface of the sea.
The two of them left the dark and deep sea, the sunlight sprinkled on their bodies through the sea water, and their mood became pleasant.
Compared to the ugly appearance of undersea creatures, Li Yan only felt that the swimming fish around him all looked so cute.
At this time, Yue Jianli remembered something and said, "Right, I still have a question I want to ask you ..."
Li Yan casually said, "You can ask."
She said with a slight frown on her eyebrows, "Back then at the Sword Cleansing Pool, Master Teacher had wasted Chen Beihe for you, what was that all about?"
In her impression, Master Teacher hated Li Yan.
But this time, not only did he let him live in his chambers, he even directly chopped off the Grand Elder's cultivation in order to help him out ... This is indeed a bit unreasonable.
After all, he was not really a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Li Yan rightfully said, "The Sword Head has probably been looking at Chen Beihe with displeasure for a long time, and this time, he happened to bump into the target, so of course, she took him as a punishment to make an example out of others."
"Is that so?"
Yue Jianli's eyes were puzzled, "But after this, why did you guys hug for so long on the high platform?"
"This ..."
Li Yan was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to explain.
Yue Jianli's brows furrowed even deeper as he skeptically said, "You ... wouldn't be hitting on your master's heart, would you?"
"Cough cough!"
Sage Li's face flushed red and he almost choked on his saliva.
"Hitting, hitting on Master Teacher's heart?!" .
