Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu was in a daze, Cui Yunshen raised his hand and waved it in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

"Master? What are you thinking about?"

Ji Xiuzhu slowly came back to his senses after hearing this.

"Nothing, I just think you are silly and cute."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he raised his hand and pinched Cui Yunshen's nose.

When Cui Yunshen heard Ji Xiuzhu's words, his face instantly turned red. He lowered his head and said softly: "Master... Master, I am not stupid."

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu burst into laughter.

Cui Yunshen slowly raised his head and looked at Ji Xiuzhu, his eyes full of confusion.

After Ji Xiuzhu had laughed enough, he gently patted Cui Yunshen on the shoulder and said softly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. But, little brat, you must practice well. Your master is looking forward to fighting with you."

Cui Yunshen nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I will definitely work hard to practice! Master, if one day I can beat you, can I make a request?"

"What's the request? Just tell me." Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen with a smile.

Cui Yunshen's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and whispered, "If I can beat Master, I think... forget it, let's talk about it later."

After he finished speaking, the cave was completely silent.

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned for a few seconds, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

Ji Xiuzhu: Oh, you little brat, you have your own secrets now. It's normal for boys to have their own little secrets when they grow up.

"Okay, Master promises you. But you have to work harder and don't keep me waiting too long." Ji Xiuzhu said with forced calmness.

After hearing this, Cui Yunshen secretly made up his mind to work harder in his cultivation.

He looked up at Ji Xiuzhu and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Master, you didn't come here just to ask me for a map of mountains and rivers, did you?"

"Of course not." Ji Xiuzhu crossed his arms, "Look at your expectant look, what do you want to hear your teacher say?"

Cui Yunshen looked at Ji Xiuzhu and wanted to wait for her next words, but as soon as Ji Xiuzhu said this, he choked.

Ji Xiuzhu paused, then said, "Boy, what's that expression on your face?"

Following Ji Xiuzhu's gaze, I saw Cui Yunshen with a deflated expression on his face.

Cui Yunshen quickly came back to his senses after hearing this, then waved his hands hastily, smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no expression at all, it's just that Master saw it wrong. Master, please continue, I'm listening."

Ji Xiuzhu listened to Cui Yunshen's words, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Little boy, there is an ancient secret realm that may appear soon. Do you want to go with me to join in the fun? I will find an opportunity for you by the way."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Cui Yunshen.

Even though Ji Xiuzhu's eyes were covered with a layer of veil, the little expression on her face could be clearly seen through the veil.

"Really? Master!" Cui Yunshen shouted excitedly. He knew very well how precious the ancient secret realm was. It might contain endless treasures and mysterious opportunities.

"Look how excited you are, but this secret realm is full of dangers, you can't just enter casually." Ji Xiuzhu reminded.

"I'm not afraid! As long as I can be with Master, I can overcome any difficulties!" Cui Yunshen said with a firm look.

"Haha, having confidence is a good thing, but we can't be blindly confident. We must be adequately prepared." Ji Xiuzhu nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yunshen also nodded.

However, after thinking for a moment, he still asked: "Master, are you going to take only me, or will the brothers go as well?"

"Of course I'll only take you with me. I guess your brothers don't need these experiences anymore." Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen, with a hint of imperceptible fondness in his eyes. "Why, you still want to take those brats with you?"

Cui Yunshen scratched his head and chuckled: "No, no, I'm just asking casually. But, if only the two of us go, wouldn't it be a bit dangerous?"

"Don't worry, I'm here, you don't have to worry." Ji Xiuzhu patted his chest, "Besides, this is also a good opportunity for you to train."

Cui Yunshen nodded and secretly made up his mind to seize this rare opportunity for training.

He looked at Ji Xiuzhu and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Master, I will never let you down!"

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen's serious face and couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch Cui Yunshen's chubby face.

Cui Yunshen did not expect Ji Xiuzhu to pinch his face and was startled by this action.

He wanted to subconsciously take two steps back, but when he remembered that Ji Xiuzhu had never treated him like this before, he stopped and let Ji Xiuzhu pinch his face.

Ji Xiuzhu did not expect Cui Yunshen to be so cooperative, and was stunned for a moment.

Because Cui Yunshen had treasured his face since he was a child, and Ji Xiuzhu had never touched it. But now, this guy did not reject her, which was a little unexpected for her.

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu stunned, Cui Yunshen couldn't help but lower his eyes, but as soon as he lowered his head, he met Ji Xiuzhu's gaze.

Then, the master and disciple smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the years in Shenzhou.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not say much." Ji Xiuzhu took back his hand and said with a smile, "In the next few days, you should practice well in the Twenty-Four Caves. When it is time to set off, I will come to find you."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yunshen nodded vigorously. After seeing Ji Xiuzhu off, he prepared to return to the cave to practice, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

So, when he turned around and was about to enter the cave, he ran into Qin Lan, who had a dazed look on her face.

Seeing that it was Qin Lan, Cui Yunshen was somewhat reluctant but still stepped forward and bowed, "Yunshen greets Third Senior Brother."

Qin Lan finally came back to his senses. He suppressed his displeasure and looked at Cui Yunshen expressionlessly, stuttering, "You...why is your face swollen?"

Cui Yunshen naturally knew the reason why Qin Lan asked this, but he still rubbed his face tenderly with his hands and said unhappily: "It was Master who did it."

After saying that, he walked around Qin Lan and walked into the cave with a proud look on his face.

Qin Lan stood there, looking at Cui Yunshen's back, muttering to herself, "When Master treats Junior Brother, it seems like his eyes are full of tenderness..."

Thinking of this, Qin Lan turned around and looked at Cui Yunshen's back, and her eyes couldn't help but show some ripples.

Qin Lan watched Cui Yunshen disappear from her sight, thinking about something.

He recalled every moment he had spent with Ji Xiuzhu and discovered that she actually cared deeply for every one of her disciples, but her way of expressing it was slightly different.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling lost.

It turns out that her master was just "teaching him according to his aptitude"...

So he secretly made up his mind to practice harder. After all, his junior brother was working so hard, and if he was lazy, he would be surpassed.
