The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

East of Yunxian Zifu,

Ice Cliff.

Cui Yunshen carried Ji Xiuzhu to a cave outside the Ice Cliff, and then walked into the cave and gently placed him on the stone bed.

The cave was freezing cold at this moment, but Cui Yun knew very well that Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual power was raging in his body. If he was not stopped, he would explode and die.

Moreover, this place is covered with ice and snow, and the cold air helps Ji Xiuzhu to regulate his breathing.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't know where Cui Yunshen had taken her, but the cold air coming towards her made her feel that her restless spiritual power was soothed, and her hot heart was gradually calming down.

Cui Yunshen slowly put Ji Xiuzhu down, then waved towards the entrance of the cave, and a protective barrier instantly blocked the entrance.

After Ji Xiuzhu was put down, his heart began to beat slower, but the burning sensation on his face remained.

So she sat on the ground, crossed her legs, and placed her hands on her dantian.

Just when she was about to circulate the Qi around her body, she found that only half of her spiritual power was mobilized when it was instantly blocked in her meridians and could not come out at all.

Ji Xiuzhu's heart tightened, and he said "not good" to himself, and his brows instantly frowned.

Cui Yunshen had just finished setting up the barrier when he saw Ji Xiuzhu frowning.

So he guessed Ji Xiuzhu's situation.

Then, he slowly walked up to Ji Xiuzhu and sat cross-legged facing Ji Xiuzhu.

Then, Cui Yunshen gathered his spirit in his palm and slowly pushed his palm in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

But when he thought that this behavior was inappropriate, he gently took Ji Xiuzhu's hands, and then his palms touched Ji Xiuzhu's fingertips, and then he continuously transferred his own spiritual power into Ji Xiuzhu's body along Ji Xiuzhu's fingertips.

With Cui Yunshen's soul ferrying, Ji Xiuzhu's originally blocked meridians were instantly unblocked.

Then, Ji Xiuzhu slowly closed her eyes and carefully felt the meridians in her body. When she definitely felt that the meridians were unblocked, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As time went by, Ji Xiuzhu's originally hot cheeks slowly returned to normal from their red and warm state.

After about a few hours, Cui Yunshen slowly withdrew his hands, stopped what he was doing, and then sat aside with a tired look on his face.

He looked at Ji Xiuzhu's gradually recovering complexion and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Perhaps it was because his smile was too passionate, Ji Xiuzhu miraculously felt Cui Yunshen's smile.

In an instant, Ji Xiuzhu slowly opened his eyes, then slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Cui Yunshen's face.

Just like when they first met, Ji Xiuzhu slowly moved from between Cui Yunshen's eyebrows to his lips.

Originally, Cui Yunshen should have been used to it long ago, but at this moment, when Ji Xiuzhu's fingertips brushed his lips, a rare hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, Ji Xiuzhu slowly withdrew his hand and said softly to Cui Yunshen, "Master knows that, except for you, a stinky boy, no one knows the sequelae of Master being struck by your lightning. But, it's hard for you to grope your way here."

After hearing Ji Xiuzhu's words, Cui Yunshen hurriedly shook his head, and then pretended to be relaxed and said to Ji Xiuzhu: "Master, what are you talking about! You and your disciple have a favor, but what I did for you is not worthy of your concern. Besides, this matter was caused by me. Now that I have time to come to see you, I need to show my filial piety."

Cui Yunshen tried his best to hide his weakness when he spoke, but the trembling voice, heard by Ji Xiuzhu, was like a heavy punch that hit her heart.

She raised her hand again, but this time she did not touch Cui Yunshen's cheek. Instead, she reached out to touch Cui Yunshen's pulse.

When she felt Cui Yunshen's disordered pulse, her face looked even uglier.

She slowly let go of Cui Yunshen's hand, then suppressed her inner anger, sorted out her thoughts, and then slowly said: "Stinky boy, the last time I saw you, your cultivation level was still tens of thousands of years. Why is it that now, I can only feel that your cultivation level is almost the same as mine? Tell me honestly, why did you fall to this level?"

Ji Xiuzhu's tone was calm, but to Cui Yunshen, there was a vague sense of majesty without even being angry.

Cui Yunshen lowered his head, not daring to look Ji Xiuzhu in the eye. He had intended to conceal something, so he would not tell the truth to Ji Xiuzhu.

So after his eyes rolled around in his sockets for a few times, he took a deep breath and pretended to be disappointed, "Hey, this is not a big deal, Master, don't worry about it. It's just that I failed to advance to the Taiyi realm last time, and the thunderclouds broke some of my cultivation. It's not a big deal, I will recover naturally after resting for a while."

He said it very easily, but Ji Xiuzhu obviously didn't believe it.

But she knew Cui Yunshen's character. This guy would not lie on a normal day, but once he had something he wanted to hide, no one would be able to pry open his mouth unless he wanted to say it himself.

But the more he did this, the more ashamed Ji Xiuzhu felt.

She is obviously the master of these guys, but these guys always appear when she needs help, as if she is the one who should be protected.

She didn't know what these guys experienced in the future, but her temperament became calmer, which made her anxious.

She began to have an inexplicable self-doubt.

Was it because of something she did that these young men, who should have been unrestrained, had to disguise themselves and pretend to be adults?

If it was really because of her, then she felt that she had failed as a master.

Ji Xiuzhu sighed and decided to stop asking questions for the time being. She looked at Cui Yunshen and said earnestly, "Brat, if you have any troubles in your heart, remember to tell me. If you handle everything by yourself, I will feel that I am an unqualified master. A teacher is to teach, accept students and solve their doubts. If I can't even solve the most basic doubts, how can I have the face to call myself a teacher."

After saying that, she fumbled to stand up from the ground, patted her skirt, and prepared to walk out of the cave.

Cui Yunshen couldn't help but lower his eyes when listening to Ji Xiuzhu's words.

If Master had said these words earlier, perhaps he would have told the truth.

But now, the matter is done, and saying more will only cause more trouble to the master and his disciples.

Therefore, even facing Ji Xiuzhu's current sorrow, he did not intend to tell the truth.

He thought that as long as he could keep his master alive and well in the remaining time, that would be enough.

So he looked at Ji Xiuzhu's departing back and sighed secretly in his heart.

In this way, I comfort myself and don’t feel sad, and don’t let my master notice anything unusual.

His master was the best person in the world and deserved to be away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The truth he carries is too glaring, and his master should just enjoy the beauty in life.

He should bear all these filthy and dirty things in this world by himself.

He thought so and even planned a beautiful future blueprint for Ji Xiuzhu.

However, what he did not notice was that when Ji Xiuzhu turned and left, an indescribable complexity flashed in his eyes.

This is the child she has personally raised for many years. She has brought him by her side and taught him personally since he was young. How could she not know what this child is thinking!

However, she was unaware of the child's current plan. If she rashly exposed the child's thoughts, it would probably backfire.

Therefore, it is better to pretend to be ignorant and wait until everything is clear to find out the right medicine.

She walked to the entrance of the cave and felt the barrier set up by Cui Yunshen, so she raised her hand and waved, and the barrier disappeared instantly.

Then, Ji Xiuzhu was seen walking out of the cave with a calm expression.

But the moment Ji Xiuzhu stepped out of the cave, Cui Yunshen's face suddenly turned ugly.

I saw cold sweat on his forehead, and then when a breeze blew past, he couldn't help but mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

Cui Yun was afraid that the noise would be too loud and would disturb Ji Xiuzhu, so he took out a black handkerchief and covered his mouth, letting the blood flow out of his mouth.

Looking closely, one can see a green bamboo embroidered faintly on the black handkerchief.

It's just that there was too much blood in his mouth, which dyed the bamboo leaf red, just like the withered yellow leaves during the autumn and winter.

When the nausea in his chest was no longer obvious, Cui Yunshen slowly released his hands that were covering the handkerchief.

Then, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and put the handkerchief into the storage bag.

Then, he took out an emerald green porcelain bottle, slowly opened the lid of the bottle, and then poured all the liquid inside on himself.

In an instant, a scent of tea filled the air, not only covering up the bloody smell on his body, but also permeating the entire cave.

And this breath also floated out of the cave with the breeze and slowly entered Ji Xiuzhu's nasal cavity.

After Ji Xiuzhu walked out of the cave and smelled the smell, she couldn't help but frowned, then suddenly looked back with a hint of worry in her eyes.

The smell was pleasant, but Ji Xiuzhu was very familiar with the smell of blood mixed in it.

Ji Xiuzhu: No wonder he always has such a fresh fragrance, it's to cover up the smell of blood! This brat is clearly injured, but he has been hiding it from me, is it a big deal! Could it be Meng Qishan again!

When Ji Xiuzhu thought of this, she couldn't help but clench her hands in her sleeves, and even her back teeth were almost bitten to pieces.

After Cui Yunshen had dealt with everything, he leaned against the stone wall to take a rest.

Ji Xiuzhu sighed softly. She knew Cui Yunshen was hiding something from her, but she decided to observe for a while. She believed that Cui Yunshen would confess to her eventually.

As the days passed, Cui Yunshen tried to hide his injuries, but Ji Xiuzhu always kept an eye on him. Finally, by chance, Ji Xiuzhu discovered that Cui Yunshen was secretly treating him. She did not expose him on the spot, but found Cui Yunshen afterwards and asked him directly, "Yunshen, what are you hiding from me?"

Cui Yunshen was silent for a moment, and finally decided to make up a lie and tell Ji Xiuzhu.

He told her that the reason his cultivation level dropped drastically was because he saved a village that was attacked by demons and was unfortunately seriously injured.

After listening to this, Ji Xiuzhu's eyes were filled with heartache and depression.

What’s heartbreaking is that this guy made up a lie to coax her so that she wouldn’t worry.

What’s frustrating is that this guy doesn’t seem to regard her as his master at all, otherwise why wouldn’t he tell the truth?

She sighed helplessly in her heart, then gently stroked Cui Yunshen's shoulder and said, "Yunshen, you did a great job. I am proud of you. But don't be so reckless in the future. Since demons are rampant, you need to act within your capabilities."

Although Ji Xiuzhu was very unhappy inside, he could not show any emotion on his face, otherwise wouldn't everything that Cui Yunshen tried so hard to hide be in vain?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu's brows instantly relaxed, then he turned his head and stopped outside the cave, but his hands in his sleeves were still tightly clenched, with no intention of loosening at all.

Cui Yunshen sorted out everything and, after feeling that he would not be exposed in front of Ji Xiuzhu, he slowly stood up, staggered out of the cave, and headed towards Ji Xiuzhu.

Cui Yunshen walked behind Ji Xiuzhu and called out softly in a very gentle voice, "Master."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu instantly loosened the fist hidden in his sleeve, then calmly turned around and faced Cui Yunshen.

Cui Yunshen's heart trembled slightly when he looked into Ji Xiuzhu's empty eyes.

He didn't understand why. Although he hadn't revealed anything, he still felt inexplicably guilty when facing his master.

He didn't dare to look into his master's eyes, because it was as if there lived a fascinating monster in his master's eyes. As long as he looked into it, it would be as if he was stripped naked, completely naked in front of his master's eyes.

He tried to look into Ji Xiuzhu's eyes again, then he still lowered his head unconsciously, and then he forced a smile and said: "Master, are you still worried about your disciple's physical condition? If you are worried, I will use my sword power for you right now!"

As he spoke, Cui Yunshen stretched out his sword finger, ready to begin the demonstration.

But the next second, Ji Xiuzhu quickly walked up to him and held him down.

Ji Xiuzhu smiled slightly, then shook his head at Cui Yunshen and said, "No need to do that. I must be exhausted from clearing the meridians for you just now. You should save some spiritual energy, you little brat. By the way, your second senior brother was refining the elixir just now. I think the elixir has been completed now. I am leaving now. Do you want to come with me?"

Cui Yunshen was a little excited when he heard this. He was about to say that he wanted to go back with Ji Xiuzhu, but the next second, when he thought of the other self who was still there, he instantly lost his temper.

He waved his hand at Ji Xiuzhu and said, "Master, I don't belong here, and I am not suitable to see you. This time, please go back on your own. If you need help, I will be there."

Ji Xiuzhu understood what Cui Yunshen said.

She knew the consequences of the collision between the future and the past, and understood Cui Yunshen's concerns, so she stopped forcing him. Instead, she patted Cui Yunshen on the shoulder and said solemnly: "I have my own way of being a teacher. You just need to take care of your own safety. You must know that in this world, you brothers are the only relatives of my teacher."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he patted Cui Yunshen on the shoulder, then he let out a long sigh and never looked back.

Then he turned around and flew away into the air, without any lingering feelings or stopping for a moment.
