I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Walking on the way back to Qingqi Peak, the Yuanchu people were still a little dazed.

Just now in the Elders' Hall, Yuan Chu thought he had finished explaining and stood up to leave.

Yan Youdao: "This matter is urgent. Any delay will increase the danger. You should go to Phoenix City tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yuan Chu was shocked and found it unbelievable that he was so rushed and caught off guard.

She had originally planned to wait until her disciple finished the competition before going there, but she didn't expect that he would urge her like this.

Now the young apprentice has just won the first preliminary test, and there should be several more rounds of competition before the final points ranking can be determined.

After the points ranking is determined, the final list of people who will go to Lingze Secret Realm will be determined.

Now that I am gone, I don’t know if my little disciple can take good care of himself or if anything will happen to him.

Yuanchu sighed inaudibly. This beast escaped at a really bad time.

Yuanchu returned to the yard with a gloomy look on his face. He sat on the stone bench under the peach tree, sipping tea in silence.

"Xiao Liu, after I leave, Gu Xi, the heroine, should not be in danger of her life."

The system said with certainty: "Host, please rest assured. The heroine will not be in danger of her life. At most, there will be some minor hardships."

Yuanchu thought about it and realized that it was true! If the heroine died so quickly, then the drama would be over. He was just too sensitive.

Besides, the kid she raised is not that weak. She is now capable of protecting herself.

Yuanchu was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself after he left. Thinking of this, Yuanchu still felt a little worried.

Seeing that Yuanchu's eyes were filled with worry, the system consoled him: "Host, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the heroine also needs to grow up independently. If you continue to raise her like this, when will she be able to stand on her own?"

After hearing what the system said, it seemed to be the case, so she called Gu Xi's name a few times towards the inner room.

Gu Xi was tidying up the slightly messy room at that time. When she heard her master calling her, she quickly came out of the room.

"Master?"

Yuanchu said "hmm".

"Sit down," and then he gestured with his eyes for her to sit on the stone bench next to him.

Gu Xi's eyelashes trembled, and her smart eyes looked at Yuan Chu with a bit of confusion in them. The master looked very serious.

She felt that Yuanchu called her this time because he must have something unusual to tell her.

"How long have you been up the mountain?"

Gu Xi was a little flustered. She didn't understand why Yuanchu suddenly asked this, but she still replied honestly: "Master, I have followed you up the mountain for more than three months."

"Well, are you used to life in the mountains?"

It has been several months and I have long been used to it. Why did the master ask this? It was another question that made Gu Xi a little confused. She secretly glanced at Yuanchu.

"Disciple has long been accustomed to it."

Since she followed Yuanchu up the mountain, she taught herself magic, cooked for herself, healed her wounds, cared for herself, and never beat or scolded herself.

One by one, Gu Xi felt how good her master was to her, so good that she was afraid it was all just her fantasy, like a dream that would be shattered when she woke up.

Sometimes she wondered if God saw that she had suffered too much during the fourteen years she had lived at the foot of the mountain, so he sent Master, the divine messenger, to save her from the quagmire.

After asking what he was thinking, Yuanchu suppressed his reluctance and said, "I will be going on a long journey tomorrow. You take good care of yourself in Qingqi Peak."

He paused again, "And participate in the sect competition normally."

Gu Xi was stunned, with panic in her eyes, "Master, are you going to..."

"It's just that the master assigned a task to me, and I need to go down the mountain." Yuan Chu looked at his little disciple who looked like she had been struck by lightning, and explained to her.

Hearing Yuan Chu say that he was just going on a mission and not staying outside for months or years as he had thought, Gu Xi's nervous expression relaxed.

Her eyes fell on Yuanchu's face, "When will Master be able to come back?"

"The date of return is still undecided, but I will come back as soon as possible."

She also reminded him worriedly: "You must take good care of yourself when you are alone at home, and don't be too stubborn. Do what you can."

Gu Xi understood as soon as he heard it. Master was warning him not to show off during the competition.

"Yes, I understand. I will wait for Master to come back."

The next day, it was dawn.

Yuan Chu closed the door lightly and walked out of the yard, preparing to go down the mountain to Phoenix City, but she had to go somewhere else before going down the mountain.

Gu Xi woke up very early today. She stood by the window, watching Yuan Chu's gradually disappearing figure, with an unremovable sadness in her eyes.

Even though she felt reluctant, she knew very well that her master was not only her master, but also herself. She could not be so selfish as to want to tie her to her side all the time.

As soon as he entered the herbal medicine hall, the rich smell of medicinal herbs hit him from all directions, and Yuan Chu couldn't help but frowned.

The smell of medicine here was really too strong and she couldn't stand it.

Some of the disciples in the sect were sorting out various kinds of medicinal herbs, probably preparing to take them out to dry according to Yuanchu's conjecture.

"Elder Yuan." The disciples inside the sect bowed and saluted when they saw Yuan Chu walk in.

"Where is your hall master?"

"Replying to Elder Yuan, the hall master is handling important matters in the inner hall."

"Go in and tell them that I have something to ask your family's head."

"Yes," then the disciple went into the inner hall and came out after a while.

"Elder Yuan, please wait a moment. Our hall master will be here soon."

At that time, Bai Ming, the head of the herbal medicine hall, was still sorting out the list of spiritual herbs for this month. She was very surprised when she heard from the disciples that Yuan Chu was looking for her.

Her junior sister was of a dull temperament and had been very withdrawn since childhood. She had always been lukewarm towards her.

I have never looked for myself before, and I don’t know why I am looking for myself today.

Soon she came out from the inner hall, and the moment she saw Yuanchu, she still felt it was a little unreal.

It's not her fault for thinking this way, as her junior sister hasn't been that close to her over the years.

"Senior Sister Bai." Bai Ming was raised by Yuanchu's mother since she was a child. Yuanchu's mother is older than her, so it is not an exaggeration to call Bai Ming senior sister.

Bai Ming was in a trance for a moment. She hadn't heard Yuan Chu call her Senior Sister Bai for a long time.

"Senior Sister Bai?" Yuan Chu frowned slightly when he saw that she didn't respond.

Bai Ming came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Junior sister."

Yuan Chu's brows relaxed. He almost thought that he was disliked by Bai Ming and was ready to be kicked out.

"Junior sister, what's the matter with you looking for me today?" Bai Ming knew that Yuan Chu wouldn't have looked for her for no reason, and he must have something to do if he took the initiative to look for her.

Yuan Chu opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Then I heard Bai Ming shout: "Come into the house and talk."

He turned to the disciples and said, "From now on, we don't need to inform you when Elder Yuan comes. Just let him in."

The disciples in the sect responded: "Yes, Master."

Yuan Chu was shocked, thinking that Bai Ming trusted the original owner quite a bit, and he was not afraid that she would take the opportunity to take away precious elixirs or something.
