the next day.

Chao Zhao woke up in a daze, and was startled when he caught a glimpse of the sunlight shining through the window.

Its daybreak?

Third Brother should wake up!

Chao Zhao jumped up from the bed in a hurry, tidied himself up casually, and ran out without even having time to tie up his hair.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Rong Jizhi waking up not far away.

Although the expression on his gloomy and deep facial features was as dull as ever, his face had regained a lot of color, his thin crimson lips were slightly pursed, and his posture was relaxed.

"Third Senior Brother!"

Chao Zhao called out energetically.

Rong Jizhi raised his eyes slightly, a hint of smile appeared on his face, and the gloomy look faded a lot, "Junior Sister."

Chao Zhao slid in front of Rong Jizhi.

She stared at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Brother, this is osmanthus cake, this is cloud cake, this is white jade frost cake, and this is good morning without you. I feel terrible!"

Rong Jizhi: “……”

He laughed dumbly, "Good morning, Senior Brother knows you want to eat Osmanthus Cake, Cloud Cake and White Jade Frost Cake."

"Hehe." Chao Zhao wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his eyes suddenly became vague, "...I don't really miss it."

Rong Jizhi smiled and shook his head: "Big Brother will be back soon, he probably brought you a lot of food."

"Another senior brother?!"

Chao Zhao's guess seemed to be confirmed one step further, "Did he really get rich unexpectedly?"

"...What a windfall."

Rong Jizhi tapped her head and said, "The food isn't expensive."

Chao Zhao thought about how he had spent a top-grade spirit stone on tea in Yujing City, and didn't dare to say anything.

Linjian City is the headquarters of the Jianhua Immortal Sect, so it is naturally not inferior to Yujing, so the prices here must be not much different.

Thinking of this, Chao Zhao's gaze towards Rong Jizhi was filled with a hint of hidden tolerance and compassion.

Forget it. Third Brother is a fairy boy who is out of touch with the world. Naturally, he doesn’t understand how outrageous the prices in big cities are.

"...Junior Sister?"

Rong Jizhi looked at her and, based on his diagnosis of Chao Zhao's mental abnormality, sensed a strange meaning.

"Brother, let's go find Master and the others."

After Chao Zhao changed the subject abruptly, Rong Jizhi's speculation reached its peak. He tapped Chao Zhao's forehead with amusement, "Don't think about it."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Chao Zhao agreed obediently.

Seeing this, Rong Jizhi just shook his head.

"Let's go."

The two of them walked into the inner room together.

Lou Fuyue placed one hand on the table and lazily supported her chin, her eyes revealing cold boredom, her gorgeous pupils mixed with a hint of deeply hidden numbness.

He was curling up a strand of hair out of boredom, and when he saw Chao Zhao walk in, his dead eyes regained some life.

"Junior sister, are you awake?"

"Ok!"

Chao Zhao came skipping in. Just after he responded to Lou Fuyue, he caught a glimpse of Ji Wushe who was drunk in broad daylight again.

He was like a pile of gristle, lying in a disarray on a recliner by the window, his clothes disheveled, his hair untidy and his growing hair covering his eyes. One could only vaguely see that he had his eyes tightly closed, as if he was in a deep sleep.

Relying on the fact that he had not been beaten for a long time, Chao Zhao sighed and began to scold him: "Master is drunk in broad daylight again."

After he finished speaking, Ji Wushe remained indifferent.

Based on his previous experience of being beaten, he would have gotten up by now and started punishing Chao Zhao by making him practice swordplay.

"?"

Chao Zhao had a bad feeling. It seemed that the master was really drunk. She could not help but turn her gaze to the second senior brother, "Master, could he not..."

"Yes." Lou Fuyue nodded, "The wine that Master drank was the one you gave him."

"........."

Chao Zhao was speechless.

Mother, you are really the one who left behind such a huge amount of damage.

After that, Chao Zhao no longer cared about Ji Wushe who was completely drunk. She sat in her seat and waited obediently for Wen Qingyan to come back with food.

So when Wen Qingyan came back with a big bag of cakes and drinks specially for Chao Zhao, he saw Chao Zhao's eyes that seemed to be praising him to the sky.

"Big Brother is so nice!"

"Big Brother is the most handsome swordsman in the world!!!"

"..."

Wen Qingyan hesitated for a second. Why did the junior sister praise him? But when he saw Chao Zhao eating with satisfaction, he wondered if he should go home and ask for some money...

After all, the little money earned from blacksmithing is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the junior sister.

After Chao Zhao had eaten and drunk his fill, he burped.

"Hiccup~"

Rong Jizhi promptly handed over the sweet and cold drink, and seeing her eagerly take it and drink it, he shook his head helplessly.

"Slow down, your stomach can't take it."

As soon as these words came out, Chao Zhao really slowed down obediently. She pouted her lips and said, "Chao Zhao, don't make your stomach upset."

She couldn't bear to eat those weird and strange foods made by her third senior brother anymore.

The three people from Xianyu Sect had been patiently waiting for Chao Zhao to finish his food, and then Lou Fuyue slowly spoke: "Third Junior Brother, what did you feel in the secret realm at that time? Why did the boiling blood in your body suddenly riot?"

The master was still drunk and the eldest senior brother was a taciturn man who didn't know how to talk, so most of the time it was Lou Fuyue who acted as a bridge between the master and the younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Chao Zhao also raised his head actively.

"Yes, Third Brother, what happened?"

Rong Jizhi recalled the situation at that time and spoke slowly: "At that time, I was in the Purple Mist Forest in the secret realm. There were many poisonous plants there, so I stayed there for a while... Everything was normal at first, until a certain moment, I felt a presence."

Lou Fuyue: "Demon beast, or demon race?"

“No.” Rong Jizhi shook his head. “I’m sure that’s not a demon. It’s cold, tyrannical, and destructive… The moment I noticed it, I trembled all over and fought against it instinctively.”

He looked solemn, "I'm not even sure if it counts as an existence."

"...This matter is indeed strange. After all, the Honghua Secret Realm is a secret realm left by the founder of the Jianhua Immortal Sect for disciples to train. Whether it is the monsters in the secret realm or the monsters derived from it, they should not be contaminated by these auras."

Lou Fuyue frowned in thought, and glanced at Chao Zhao from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, "Speaking of which, the timing of coming to Zhongzhou is really a coincidence."

"Ok?"

Noticing the gaze of his second senior brother, Chao Zhao looked up blankly.

Lou Fuyue continued with a smile: "It was the day when your third senior brother came out of the secret realm."

Because of the sudden agitation caused by the boiling blood in his body, Rong Jizhi reacted promptly, kicked himself out of the secret realm immediately, and contacted his master.

Ji Wushe sent Lou Fuyue and Wen Qingyan to pick up Rong Jizhi, and they happened to meet the Zhongzhou team. However, Rong Jizhi had already fainted at that time and didn't know about this.

At this moment, Wen Qingyan suddenly raised his head and said in a shocking tone, "And I ran into your old lover."

"cough!"

Lou Fuyue coughed violently.

"?!"

Chao Zhao was shocked but he did not forget to pretend to be eating melon. Even Rong Jizhi couldn't help but glance over at him.
