...
Tang Yuehua fought through her physical discomfort and quickly got to work.
Tang Yuehua patiently explained what had just happened to the students and mentors of Moon Pavilion, and guaranteed the absolute safety of Moon Pavilion.
Under Tang Yuehua's elegant demeanor and professional reassurance, the students' emotions gradually stabilized, and Moon Pavilion restored its past tranquility as the melodious sound of the zither echoed once more within the hall.
Watching Tang Yuehua methodically handle various affairs, Luo Nan felt a bit bored.
He yawned and said to Tang Yuehua,
"I'll go wait in your office for a bit. Call me if anything happens."
Having said that, he walked straight towards the Pavilion Master's office on the top floor.
Tang Yuehua's office was arranged extremely elegantly, with a faint scent of sandalwood permeating the air.
Luo Nan unceremoniously walked over to that large leather sofa, lay down sprawled out, closed his eyes, and began to rest.
Time passed second by second.
Until the sun slanted westward and the golden afterglow spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the office carpet, the office door was gently pushed open.
Tang Yuehua walked in, dragging her exhausted body.
Today, she not only had to deal with the external crisis, but also pacify the students and handle a mountain of affairs.
More importantly, her frail body with only rank 9 Soul Power, after experiencing last night's devastation, was already on the verge of collapse.
Having forced herself to hold on for a whole day, at this moment she only felt her legs as heavy as if filled with lead, every step accompanied by a faint soreness.
She walked to the desk, just wanting to sit down and rest for a bit, only to find Luo Nan leaning against the sofa, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Done getting busy?" Luo Nan straightened his body, patted the spot beside him, "Come sit over here."
Tang Yuehua hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat down half a meter away from Luo Nan.
She rubbed her aching brow and softly said,
"Today... thank you. If you hadn't stepped forward, Moon Pavilion probably really couldn't have been kept safe."
Although this was a transaction, Luo Nan's strong strike today truly helped her solve a colossal trouble.
"Spare me the verbal thanks."
Luo Nan's lips curled into a wicked arc, and he leaned slightly forward, closing in on Tang Yuehua,
"After all, I put in a lot of effort today, helping you deter so many scoundrels."
"Even publicly declaring that you are my woman, pulling all the hatred onto myself."
"As the Pavilion Master of Moon Pavilion, shouldn't you give me some substantive compensation?"
Hearing the two words 'compensation', Tang Yuehua's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She subconsciously shrank backward, two flushes of red instantly flying across her peerless face, her eyes somewhat flusteredly dodging Luo Nan's gaze.
"I... I'm really very tired today."
Tang Yuehua bit her red lips, her voice as thin as a mosquito's, carrying a hint of pleading.
"Moreover, my body right now... is still not very good, it can't withstand you again..."
Last night's three hours of violent storm had already left her with lingering fears.
If it came again right now, she suspected she would really die on this sofa.
She was merely a Spirit Scholar, unable to withstand the impact of Luo Nan this great Spirit Saint.
Looking at Tang Yuehua's pitiful appearance, like a startled little deer, Luo Nan couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
"What are you thinking?"
Luo Nan stretched out his hand, gently raising Tang Yuehua's smooth chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.
"Although I, Luo Nan, am no upright gentleman, I'm not so desperate as to torment a patient who can't even walk steadily."
Hearing these words, Tang Yuehua let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
But...
"However, compensation still has to be given."
Luo Nan's gaze slowly moved down, first falling on Tang Yuehua's pair of small hands crossed over her knees, white as jade with slender fingers.
Afterwards, it slowly moved up again, locking onto her juicy and tender red lips that were slightly pursed due to tension.
"Sometimes, compensation... doesn't necessarily have to be like that."
Luo Nan held one of Tang Yuehua's small hands, gently stroking her smooth skin, feeling the slight tremor coming from her fingertips.
"You choose one?"
The air in the office seemed to freeze at this moment.
Tang Yuehua widened her beautiful eyes, looking in disbelief at the overbearing and wicked man before her.
"You... You're shameless!"
Tang Yuehua abruptly pulled back her hand, shrinking backward like she was electrocuted.
She bit her red lips hard, her eyes filled with resistance and panic.
"The mouth is definitely not allowed! I am the Pavilion Master of Moon Pavilion after all, what kind of person do you take me for!"
Looking at Tang Yuehua's fiercely resisting appearance like a frightened little white rabbit, Luo Nan didn't get angry; instead, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Resistance was good; if she didn't resist, it wouldn't be interesting at all...
Luo Nan's body leaned forward once more, approaching Tang Yuehua with extreme oppressiveness.
Luo Nan raised an eyebrow, his gaze following Tang Yuehua's slender waist down, ultimately landing on her long legs that were pressed together due to tension, the corners of his mouth curling into a wicked arc,
"Since up there won't work, let's use down below. With your feet, this surely doesn't disgrace you, this noble Pavilion Master, right?"
Tang Yuehua was stunned, her mind failing to process it for a moment.
When she reacted to the meaning in Luo Nan's words, an unprecedented sense of shame instantly surged into her heart like a volcanic eruption.
However, before she could refuse again, Luo Nan had unceremoniously reached out his hand and grabbed her slender ankle.
"Ah!" Tang Yuehua exclaimed, her body involuntarily sliding forward along Luo Nan's strength.
Luo Nan's action looked crude, but cleverly avoided Tang Yuehua's sore muscles.
He casually removed the pair of exquisite high heels on Tang Yuehua's feet, holding that pair of flawless jade feet wrapped in cicada-wing-thin silk stockings in his palm.
"Pavilion Master, I did help you solve your trouble after all, now you have no say in this!"
In the following time, Luo Nan and Tang Yuehua properly discussed art right here.
The art taught out by Moon Pavilion was Tang Yuehua's art, whereas what Luo Nan taught Tang Yuehua was his, Luo Nan's, technique...
The sky outside the window had completely darkened.
Tang Yuehua collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily.
Right now her feet were sore and numb, utterly exhausted.
And Luo Nan, accidentally stained Tang Yuehua's face, and along the way, treated the Pavilion Master to a face wash...
She closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling violently, two lines of humiliating tears sliding down the corners of her eyes.
Luo Nan unhurriedly tidied his own clothing, casually throwing a white towel onto Tang Yuehua's body.
