Ji Xiuzhu jumped off the gate holding Cui Yunshen, and then walked straight towards Qin Lan who was standing there in a daze.

She slowly said, "Emperor Cangxing, please make way."

Qin Lan trembled slightly when she heard this.

He didn't expect that Ji Xiuzhu would become estranged from him because of this incident.

"Master... do you really want to distance yourself from your disciple like this?" Qin Lan did not move. She just stood there, staring at Ji Xiuzhu in a daze.

Ji Xiuzhu paused, but did not turn back. She said calmly, "Get out of the way."

Her voice was cold but firm.

Qin Lan's eyes dimmed, she bit her lip, and finally moved aside to make way.

Ji Xiuzhu walked away holding Cui Yunshen, leaving Qin Lan standing there alone, feeling bitter in her heart.

"Master, you will understand soon. I do this all for you..." He muttered to himself, looking lonely.

Ji Xiuzhu's clothes fluttered in the wind, and her steps were firm and resolute, as if every step was stepping on Qin Lan's heart.

Cui Yunshen was as quiet in her arms as a sleeping baby, but his pale face revealed his fragility at the moment.

Qin Lan's eyes followed her back closely, with mixed feelings in her heart.

He knew that everything he did was to protect Ji Xiuzhu and to prevent her from being involved in the dispute.

However, he did not expect that this would make the relationship between them so estranged.

"Master, do you know the pain in my heart? But you are my master, how can I bear to make you suffer with me..." Qin Lan's voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Ji Xiuzhu had already walked away, so he didn't hear Qin Lan's words.

Her figure gradually disappeared around the corner, leaving Qin Lan alone, standing there, as if abandoned by the whole world.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart.

He knew that he couldn't give up just like that, he had to continue with his plan, so as to ensure a foolproof future.

As he spoke, he looked at the golden mask on his waist.

The mask at this moment no longer had the holy light it once had. Now if you look closely, the light has dimmed.

This means that he doesn't have much time left to do what he wants to do.

"Master, wait for me." Qin Lan said in a low voice, with a flash of determination in her eyes.

He turned around and walked in the other direction with firm steps.

What he was about to do was too risky, but perhaps this result could also protect the Master.

When the truth comes out, Ji Xiuzhu will know that everything he did was for her and for their common master.

In the night wind, Qin Lan's figure gradually faded away. His figure was stretched out in the moonlight, just like the obsession in his heart, firm and long.

It was seven days later when Cui Yunshen woke up again.

Cui Yunshen's consciousness was like the surface of a lake shrouded in morning mist, gradually becoming clearer from the haze.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a furry little animal, and the air was filled with a faint herbal fragrance.

Cui Yunshen slowly stood up, then grabbed the little animal that was sleeping on him and looked at it carefully.

This thing is called Nuannuan Beast, and as the name suggests, it means warm sunshine in winter.

Cui Yunshen looked at the cute little animal in his hand and a smile appeared on his lips.

He gently stroked its soft fur, feeling its warmth.

He knew that his master was probably afraid that he would get cold sleeping in the cave, so he found something to warm him up.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, a slight noise came from outside the cave.

Cui Yunshen looked towards the door vigilantly, secretly using his spiritual power in his hands.

However, when he saw who was coming, the wariness on his face instantly turned into surprise.

"Master! You are here to see me?" Cui Yunshen quickly put the little beast aside and prepared to go to meet him.

"You're awake." Ji Xiuzhu's gentle voice sounded in his ears, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing a hint of warmth.

She was holding a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand. When she saw Cui Yunshen sitting up, she hurried forward and pushed Cui Yunshen back onto the bed, her eyes full of concern.

When Cui Yunshen watched this scene, a warm feeling instantly surged in his heart.

He knew that he was able to wake up again thanks to Ji Xiuzhu's careful care.

So his eyes fell on Ji Xiuzhu's slightly tired face, and a trace of guilt surged in his heart.

"Master, I..." Cui Yunshen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ji Xiuzhu.

"Okay, don't say anything, just drink this bowl of medicine first. You, who used to look strong, become like a paper doll after being injured." Ji Xiuzhu handed the bowl of medicine to Cui Yunshen's mouth, his eyes full of unrefusable tenderness.

"Oh, Master, you are so annoying. That person has a first time for everything. It is reasonable for him to be seriously injured and unconscious!"

After Cui Yunshen finished speaking, he took it, nodded, and then drank the medicine obediently.

The medicine tasted bitter, but with a strange sweetness that made his body feel a little warm.

After seeing Cui Yunshen finish drinking the medicine, Ji Xiuzhu took the medicine from him. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth.

"You should have a good rest first. I'll go outside to bask in the sun. When you're better, we'll consider whether or not to go looking for treasure." Ji Xiuzhu turned around and was about to leave, but Cui Yunshen grabbed his wrist.

"Master, don't go. Stay with me more. Okay?" Cui Yunshen said softly, his eyes sparkling with sincerity.

Ji Xiuzhu was slightly stunned, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on his cheeks.

Her eyes moved slightly, and then remained dazed for a long while.

Ji Xiuzhu turned his head and met Cui Yunshen's eyes.

There was a tender-hearted pleading look in Cui Yunshen's eyes that touched her heart.

"Okay, then I'll stay here with you for a while." Ji Xiuzhu sat down gently. Cui Yunshen smiled and reached out to hold Ji Xiuzhu's hand.

The two sat quietly, enjoying the tranquility.

The sunlight shone on them through the branches outside the cave, as if covering the entire cave with a layer of golden veil.

Time passed quietly, and because of the effect of the drug, Cui Yunshen gradually became sleepy.

His eyes slowly closed, but his hand was still tightly holding Ji Xiuzhu's hand.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen's peaceful sleeping face, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

She sighed softly and thought, let him have a good rest.

So, after tucking in the quilt for him, I thought about going out to bask in the sun.

However, although Cui Yunshen fell asleep, the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Ji Xiuzhu gave up the idea of ​​going out for some fresh air and instead sat quietly beside Cui Yunshen, intending to stay with him until he fell asleep.

As Cui Yunshen's breathing gradually became steady, Ji Xiuzhu's heart also gradually calmed down.

She looked at Cui Yunshen gently. Her eyebrows and eyes, which were usually quite fierce, seemed particularly gentle at this moment.

Inside the cave, Nuannuan Beast curled up beside Cui Yunshen, its soft fur rising and falling gently with its breathing, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space.
