Chapter 150 Teaching Session
With such a grand gesture and such ambition, one can imagine the pressure that the person behind the scenes must bear, but An Zhizhen mentioned it so lightly in front of him.

“It seems that you know what I want to do?”

The dim light in the room created a warm atmosphere. A woman with long straight black hair stood close to Cen Dongsheng, leaning her shoulder against him, whispering.

“Yes, I can guess it to some extent.”

Cen Dongsheng’s big hand held the soft palm and placed it on his sister’s thigh under her silk pajamas, stroking it gently, feeling the plump and wonderful touch.

“When are you going to start?”

He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was worried about breaking the atmosphere of the moment.

“There is still some preparation time.”

Sister Zhizhen playfully grabbed the ends of her hair, scratched the man’s cheek, and replied with a smile.

Cen Dongsheng recalled his past experiences. When he became a curse master, the “Mountain-clearing and Temple-destroying Movement” had already ended, so the relevant information was obtained based on historical records and the accounts of other eyewitnesses.

He could not remember much of the specific content, but he knew that its result had greatly changed the structure of the early society of curse-breakers and even human society in the Chinese region.

No major problems occurred during the entire process. With the huge state machinery that was still able to play a huge role and the tacit cooperation of several of the strongest spell-binding masters, this movement was unstoppable and sweeping across the country.

If there is anything else worth noting…

Cen Dongsheng thought about it and realized that this was the consequence of this movement. Almost all the curse masters who emerged during the “first wave” made their mark and became well-known during this period of time.

Because the movement discovered and united a large number of capable folk curse masters, anyone who wanted to stand out had the opportunity to show their talents. There were also rankings based on the task completion indicators of different teams, the so-called “Hundred People Honor Roll”. This practice even continued until before his rebirth.

In this movement, An Zhizhen naturally played a key role.

So, what exactly does he need to do?

Cen Dongsheng thought about it and felt that he didn’t need to think too much. When he needed him, Sister Zhizhen would always tell him. Anyway, he just had to remember to hold her thighs tightly…

“There are some things I want to ask you for help.”

It was as if onee-sama could see through his thoughts.

“I can handle all other problems, but the troublesome part is the powerful spell-binding master.”

An Zhizhen raised her finger.

“I have established a certain cooperative relationship with Sister Qingyan, but when it comes to actually using her, you have to do it.”

“I see.”

An Zhizhen poked his cheek.

“I hope you can contact Zhang Shidao as well.”

“no problem.”

An Zhizhen gently touched his chest with her fingers.

“Also, your beautiful classmate…”

“I know… uh, wait, what did you say?”

Cen Dongsheng paused and stared at his elder sister’s teardrop mole.

“That’s the pretty girl with the ponytail.”

She answered with a smile.

“You like those younger than you, you like those older than you, so it doesn’t make sense that you wouldn’t like those of your own age, right? It’s okay, Dongsheng, I understand.”

Although Sister Zhizhen was still smiling, cold sweat began to appear on his back. That smile bloomed in the dim light like a beautiful yet dangerous flower.

That’s right, there’s no way he could have hidden his interactions with Song Yutang from his elder sister’s eyes—

But all this was expected. Cen Dongsheng was well prepared for this. Another reason why he proposed to Song Yutang to become his disciple was to establish a sound relationship.

“Song Yutang and I are not in that kind of relationship. Sister, you misunderstood.”

Cen Dongsheng spoke righteously.

“I accepted her as my apprentice and planned to train her to be my assistant.”

“Master and disciple…”

Sister Zhizhen held her chin up, her tone full of resentment.

“First I was your elder sister, then your younger sister, and then your apprentice… Dongsheng, you really are never satisfied.”

“…”

“Is it a kind of abnormal psychology to like role-playing?”

Cen Dongsheng lost the energy to refute and fell silent. He felt that his reputation in front of his elder sister would never be good.

“I can understand that, right? After all, you didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of your family in the past, so you longed to develop various intimate relationships with different women.”

An Zhizhen smiled compassionately and opened her arms. The light shone on her flawless face, emitting the glow of the Madonna.

“Come on, let me comfort you.”

I felt that if I really threw myself into his arms, it would be like admitting defeat. But…

Who could refuse the request of a woman who is both a sister and a lover?

He obediently buried his head in An Zhizhen’s knees, allowing her to caress his hair lovingly with her slender fingers.

*
Day two.

This morning, Cen Dongsheng and Song Yutang had no classes, so they made an appointment to meet.

Song Yutang has been living in her own home with her parents during this period.

The two had originally planned to meet near the school or directly in the school as before, but this morning: Song Yutang called in advance.

“Excuse me, Master.”

The girl’s tone was a little embarrassed.

“what happened?”

“My parents want to meet you…”

She did not intend to hide the fact that she was going to meet Cen Dongsheng this morning from her family. When Song Yutang’s mother saw that she was going out during her break, she asked where she was going, and she just said that she was going to meet the student from the same school who saved her life last time.

“I said, I want to learn skills from you. Of course, I didn’t mention the Curse Master—”

The girl paused.

“My thought is that we will meet frequently in the future. If we keep making excuses, we will be exposed sooner or later. So, I think it would be better to make it clear in advance.”

“Yes, that’s right. You should explain this important matter of becoming my disciple to your family members.”

“Is that ok? Then, I’ll trouble you to explain to my parents, Master.”

“I’ll be right away.”

Cen Dongsheng said. He also gave a compliment.

“It seems that you have been a good boy all along. Keep it up.”

He is serious. People who are willing to listen to their elders are less likely to go astray.

There are not many young people who are willing to share their lives with their families when they grow up. The fact that she can do this shows that she has had a harmonious family relationship since childhood and is a good girl.

“Ah ha ha……”

Song Yutang could tell that she was really being treated like a junior by the peer on the other end of the phone, and she felt subtly complicated.

……

He registered at the gate of the community and walked inside.

The tall plane trees are lush and leafy, casting mottled shadows in the sun. The residential buildings around them are scattered around in an orderly manner. They are the classic old-style apartment buildings with red brick exteriors. There are flower beds, lawns and fitness facilities in front of each building.

Residents can be seen walking or strolling their dogs on the cobblestone roads and deep forest trails.

Arriving at the building where Song Yutang lived, Cen Dongsheng looked up at the upper floors and asked himself:
Putting aside considerations of profit, is it really because of some ulterior motive that one trains a female college student as an apprentice?

Cen Dongsheng could not deny it and could only prove it with actual actions:

He would make a good master.

Today would be the first day that he would help Song Yutang officially embark on the path of becoming a curse master. …

He went up to the third floor and knocked on the door.

“Hey, you are Cen Dongsheng, right? I didn’t expect you to come so early.”

The middle-aged woman in an apron seemed surprised by the height and physique of the young man at the door, but soon responded with a warm greeting.

A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a typical intellectual appearance was sitting at the table reading a newspaper with a serious attitude. When he saw someone coming to his door, he just nodded slightly at him.

The enthusiastic mother and the serious father made Cen Dongsheng feel like he was being scrutinized when he visited his girlfriend’s home for the first time. Was it an illusion?

“Why don’t you come in and sit down? Have something to eat while you’re at it. I’m preparing breakfast…”

“Wait a moment!”

A slender figure interrupted the conversation in a panic. She had already dressed and washed up and was preparing to go out.

“Let’s talk about it later. I…I’m going out for a run first!”

“They haven’t even entered the door yet, how can we just let them leave? At least they should drink some water…”

The middle-aged woman patted the girl’s arm and spoke in a complaining tone.

“It’s okay, I’m just here to pick her up.”

Cen Dongsheng smiled and shook his head.

Song Yutang was eager to become a spell master, so he didn’t intend to keep her on suspense. As for communicating with her parents, according to the discussion on the phone, he planned to talk about it later.

“Master, Master has said it’s okay…”

Song Yutang hooked her ankle, hurriedly put on her sneakers, then walked out the door and said to the middle-aged woman:

“And we agreed to have Chinese food together! I’m warning you in advance, don’t talk about other places when the time comes!”

“You kid…”

Under Song Yutang’s tough request, the girl’s mother still left with a grumble.

She breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door.

“Well, Master, let’s go down to the garden.”

Song Yutang turned around with a relaxed expression as if he had completed an important task.

Cen Dongsheng looked her up and down for a while.

“Do you have the habit of jogging in the morning?”

“Well, usually when I’m resting at home, as long as the weather is good, I’ll go out for a few laps…”

The long dress fits the body without hindering the movement, and the shoulder straps of the sports bra can be seen; the lower body is loose pants and sneakers on the feet, which is a standard outfit.

Pants that are too tight, such as yoga pants, can bring out the curves of your legs, but they will rub the skin excessively during intense exercise and are not suitable for long-distance running.

Only people like Song Yutang can be seen as experienced runners.

……

Jogging along the cobblestone road downstairs, Song Yutang jogged in front and Cen Dongsheng followed behind.

The girl’s long, smooth, jet-black hair was tied into a neat ponytail with a hair tie, swaying slightly with the rhythm of her running, making her look lively.

After walking around most of the community for a few minutes, she stopped and pointed to the stone table and chairs hidden deep in the bamboo forest not far away.

“Here, right there.”

She turned her blushing face around.

“how do you feel?”

“Anywhere is fine.” Cen Dongsheng nodded slightly, “As long as we are not disturbed by others.”

“This is a secret base I discovered. Ordinary people won’t come here.”

……

After arriving at the location, the atmosphere between the master and the disciple changed. Song Yutang’s expression became a little nervous, and he quietly looked at the boy next to him.

“Sit down.”

Cen Dongsheng patted the stone table.

“Vajra sitting, do you know how to do it?”

“Yeah…” The girl nodded, “I practiced yoga for a while following a TV show.”

“Okay then, let’s get started.”

Song Yutang adjusted his breathing, climbed onto the stone table, and did as he was told.

The long legs are put together in a kneeling position, with the buttocks sitting between the feet and the spine straight. This is the most basic yoga pose.

“Lift your waist slightly, relax your shoulders, and tuck your chin in…imagine your heart is sinking to the bottom of the lake.”

The man’s voice was calm and the girl relaxed unconsciously.

She had a foundation in meditation and yoga, so she was able to adapt quickly. The girl on the stone table straightened her chest, her snow-white neck supported her graceful posture, her starry eyes half closed and half open, and she quickly entered the state.

For a moment, the only sound in Song Yutang’s ears was the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.

“Breathe… breathe… breathe… breathe…”

Guided by Cen Dongsheng’s words, she slowly adjusted her breathing, and the air slowly entered through her nostrils, passed through her throat, and reached her chest.

“Similar to the process of opening the third eye last time, I will inject a stream of true Qi into you, but this time, you have to personally feel the trajectory of the ‘Qi’ in your body.”

Song Yutang lowered his head silently.

The next second, she felt someone patting her back, and a heat spread along her lower back, followed by a tingling and numb feeling.

The girl concentrated her energy, trying to capture the fleeting “Qi” flowing through her meridians.

“Feel it?”

“Please… again.”

Another beat.

“…”

Song Yutang pursed her lips.

Although Cen Dongsheng said many times that “she has talent”, he still felt troubled when the time came.

If I can’t do it…

He behind her seemed to notice her nervousness and whispered something.

“It’s presumptuous.”

The man’s big hand touched her lower back again, but this time he did not let go. Instead, a steady stream of heat flowed in, penetrating through the clothes and touching her skin, and a numbing feeling spread throughout her body.

Song Yutang’s face felt slightly hot, and she didn’t know whether she was ashamed or guilty.

She concentrated her attention once again and suddenly noticed that the original “energy” in her body was being forcibly driven by this powerful external force.

The yang energy that symbolizes life is attracted and naturally goes up along the Ren meridian, through the navel chakra, Qihai, Zhongwan, to Tanzhong, and then transitions from the Ren Zhong point to the Du meridian; at the same time, the heat flow surging up the spine – “true qi” – goes up along the Du meridian, passes through Baihui, follows Tianzhu, and slides to the back of the head.

The moment the two merge into one symbolizes the connection of meridians and the circulation of Qi.

Song Yutang felt her whole body relax, wrapped in a warm and light heat flow, as if she had returned to the infant stage, soaked in amniotic fluid in the womb, warm and comfortable…

……

Cen Dongsheng, who was standing nearby, saw with his own eyes the indigo-colored electric current flashing from Song Yutang’s body like a flowing stream.

It was no longer surging and uncontrollable, but as docile as a subdued pet, flowing around her body.

Looking at the girl’s hair floating up without wind under the action of the electric charge, Cen Dongsheng nodded secretly.

“It’s done.”
