Chapter 279: The Longest Road Is Master’s Trap

“What’s your problem?” Ye Qiu smiled and thought to himself: You’ve got a big problem. Your biggest problem is that you can let me trap you once. My dear disciple, I’ve been treating you well, right? It’s time for you to repay me, right? Hehe…

He smiled evilly in his heart and rubbed his palms together. Ye Qiu pretended to be very worried and sighed. “Sigh…”

Zhao Wan’er’s heart trembled when she saw Ye Qiu sighing and looking worried. What was going on? Why was he like this? Could it be that there was something seriously wrong with her that made her master so depressed?

Zhao Wan’er instantly became nervous. Perhaps the longest path she had walked was her master’s trap.

Ye Qiu sighed. She didn’t even hesitate and took the bait.

“Master, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Zhao Wan’er was a little lost and didn’t know what to do.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu was delighted. Hehe, she took the bait! Next is my performance. Are you ready? Prepare to receive my love and concern.

Ye Qiu gently waved his hand, indicating for Zhao Wan’er to come over.

Zhao Wan’er walked up nervously.

Ye Qiu gently stroked her beautiful hair and said worriedly, “Disciple, during this period of time, I’ve been worried about you. Do you know?”

“Huh?”

After Zhao Wan’er heard this, she was touched, but she didn’t understand what made her master so worried.

Soon, Ye Qiu answered her doubts.

“Back then, I once taught you the Red Lotus Karmic Flame technique. This secret technique seems powerful, but it has many flaws. You couldn’t tell anything in the early stages, but now, you’ve already reached the Cardinal realm. I believe you can feel it. This secret technique gradually exposed its flaws, causing your cultivation to slow down and drag you down. If this continues, your future will be in danger. I’m very worried.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Wan’er was stunned. Her eyes turned red and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.

It turned out that Master had always been paying attention to my cultivation and had never neglected me. It turned out that he had been worrying about me recently. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Wan’er’s eyes turned red and a tear fell.

“Master, don’t say anymore. I have always remembered your kindness to me. You have done enough. There’s no need to worry about me. I don’t have much ambition in my life. As long as I can stay by Master’s side, I don’t care even if I can’t become an immortal. I’ll just become a skeleton after a hundred years. I’m already satisfied.” Zhao Wan’er said from the bottom of her heart.

She recalled the past. Before she went up the mountain, her life was dark. It was only after she went up the mountain that she gradually understood that there were so many laughter in the world. She truly experienced carefree days. With her master by her side and her senior sister by her side, and taking care of a noisy little fellow, her life became more colorful.

How could she dare to have other expectations? How could she dare to beg her master to do anything for her?

Ye Qiu’s heart trembled when he saw her pitiful appearance. He suddenly had a feeling that he had gone too far. However, this effect was not bad. After all, she was still a little darling and knew how to understand her master’s hard work.

“Hmm… Disciple, I’ve always seen your performance. The thing I don’t regret the most in my life is taking the three of you as my disciples. All of you are my good disciples. Back then, when you went up the mountain, I promised to protect you and teach you immortal techniques.

“Now, your senior sister has already become famous among her peers. Your junior sister has already formed her Dao Body. She can step into the Saint realm after her transformation. The two of them are considered perfected. Only you have flaws in your cultivation technique. Your cultivation progress is slow and you haven’t displayed too stunning talent. How can I leave you alone?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Wan’er instantly cried.

Yes, during this period of time, she had begun to doubt life and felt that she was the most useless person on Violet Cloud Peak. It was said that the person who was left behind was the most pitiful and pathetic. She empathized with that sentence.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Ye Qiu gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. He knew very well.

The emotions were here. The most critical moment was coming. This state must continue.

“For your sake, I checked tens of thousands of ancient books and went into seclusion for a year to comprehend the Red Lotus Karmic Flame and deduce it tens of thousands of times. Finally, the heavens did not disappoint me. I successfully perfected this technique.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Wan’er trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief. So Master’s seclusion for a year was not to break through to the King-Ranked realm, but to find a way to resolve her cultivation problem?

At this moment, Zhao Wan’er’s heart completely melted. She fell into Ye Qiu’s arms and cried. Her master was still the master who doted on her the most. For her, he read tens of thousands of ancient books and deduced the ancient techniques tens of thousands of times. He spent countless days and nights just to solve her cultivation problem.

How should she repay such a master? She’s so touched.

Zhao Wan’er’s psychological barrier was broken by Ye Qiu’s words. She did not care about any cultivation secret techniques at all. She cared more about her master’s care for her. In her heart, nothing was more important than this.

Patting her shoulder gently, Ye Qiu comforted her, “Alright, how old are you? Why are you still crying? How embarrassing. Get up quickly. Today, I will teach you the complete version of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame.”

“Okay!”

Zhao Wan’er nodded obediently as she wiped her tears.

Seeing that she had recovered, the corners of Ye Qiu’s mouth curled up slightly as he thought to himself, “System, restore the Red Lotus Karmic Flame.”

[Ding…]

[Congratulations, you have successfully restored it.]

[Successfully obtained: Supreme Immortal Technique: Red Lotus Karmic Flame (complete)]

[Note: The Red Lotus Karmic Flame is known to burn all things in the world. Everything can be burned. The Nirvana Flame can change the fate of the heavens.]

“Gasp… F*ck this…”

Ye Qiu didn’t expect that the Red Lotus Karmic Flame was actually an immortal technique.

Damn it, if I had known that it was so fierce, I would have cultivated it in the past. Ah, I was careless. But it wasn’t too late. Hehe… Not only did I make up for my precious disciple’s shortcomings, but I also obtained another immortal technique. 

This was a hellfire that could burn everything in the world. It could even burn karma. If I cultivated this, would I still need to be afraid of such things in the future? Hehe, not bad, not bad.

Ye Qiu became even more excited. He rubbed his hands together and said, “Comprehend!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the complete Red Lotus Karmic Flame fused into his mind.

Ye Qiu instantly broke out in cold sweat after taking a look at the scripture inside.

“What the heck…”
