The next morning, when Ji Xiuzhu just got up and opened the door, he saw Qin Lan kneeling outside the house.

"Wow! What are you doing kneeling outside my door so early in the morning?"

Ji Xiuzhu was shocked.

Qin Lan heard this and then straightened up and bowed her head and said, "Master told me yesterday to come and clean up the dishes early this morning. Master asked me to do this, so I dare not delay."

Ji Xiuzhu's heart trembled. She didn't expect that the words she casually said to him yesterday would still be remembered by him.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. How many beatings did he have to take to develop this conditioned reflex?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but think of his previous life. Oh no, before he traveled through the book.

Ji Xiuzhu is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage.

Before entering the orphanage, she was often beaten by other children. After each beating, she could only wipe her tears secretly by herself.

Fortunately, after arriving at the welfare home, the director treated her very well. She always protected her and supported her studies until she graduated from college. She did not disappoint the director. She would visit the director whenever she had time every year and occasionally do volunteer work for the director. She never went back until the director passed away.

"Go ahead. After you're done cleaning up, call the guards and gather at the main hall."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, she left quickly. After all, she knew that Qin Lan would feel somewhat uncomfortable with her around.

It’s like, when you are doing your homework, your head teacher is watching you do it in front of you.

"Gather? What is this old devil up to?"

Qin Lan was wondering, so he walked to the table. When he saw that there were no leftovers on the table, his jaw dropped.

The old devil actually ate all the food he cooked...

Here, Ji Xiuzhu came to the main hall and was counting the spirit stones in the storage bag.

She decided to take his two disciples into the city today. It was heartbreaking to see how tattered they were.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but want to scold the original owner. She wore silk and satin, but let her disciples wear tattered clothes. Wasn't she afraid that her disciples would be embarrassed when they went out and said they were her disciples?

After Ji Xiuzhu thought about it in her mind, she was sure that the original owner would not feel ashamed. After all, ever since she started abusing her disciples, she no longer considered them as her own disciples.

"Ji Xiuzhu, Ji Xiuzhu, if you knew that you were killed by your own disciple, I wonder if you would regret it."

As Ji Xiuzhu was speaking, he saw Qin Lan and Hu Yin walking towards the hall one after another.

Ji Xiuzhu immediately put away the spirit stone, then casually lay down on the recliner behind him, with his back to them, pretending not to know they were coming.

"I've met Master."

"I've met Master."

After the two arrived at the main hall, they knelt down and bowed in unison.

However, the two of them knelt for a long time and Ji Xiuzhu did not speak to them, so they slowly raised their heads.

When they looked up, Qin Lan and Hu Yin saw Ji Xiuzhu lying with his back to them. They thought Ji Xiuzhu was sleeping, so they knelt there tactfully without saying a word.

Ji Xiuzhu here couldn't hold it anymore, he hummed softly, then slowly stood up, but his hair was too unsightly, so he reached out and pushed his hair to the other side.

But in the eyes of Hu Yin and Qin Lan, it was a different picture.

Hidden perspective:

Ji Xiuzhu slowly stood up, looking a little lazy with sleepy eyes, and his hair was casually tossed, which added another charm when blown by the wind.

Qin Lan's perspective:

The moment Ji Xiuzhu stood up, all his nerves were tense. After seeing Ji Xiuzhu sit up, he shook his hair, giving people the feeling that he would come over and strangle him to death in the next second.

Of course, Ji Xiuzhu herself was unaware of her disciples’ little thoughts.

"What are you kneeling on the ground for? Get up. From now on, you don't have to kneel in the sect anymore. I don't like these troublesome etiquettes."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he stood up from the recliner.

When Hu Yin and Qin Lan saw Ji Xiuzhu stand up, they also responded "yes" and slowly stood up and stood aside.

"Master, why did you call us two here? What do you want us to do?" Hu Yin asked.

Ji Xiuzhu did not answer immediately, but slowly walked up to Hu Yin and Qin Lan, reached out and touched Hu Yin's clothes, and then looked at Qin Lan's shoes.

It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t look at it, but when he did, Ji Xiuzhu was shocked.

I saw that the clothes they were wearing were coarse linen, the kind that would tear if you put a little force on it. The linen also had big gaps in it, so it was not only breathable, but also ok in the summer, but it would freeze people to death in the winter.

Looking at the shoes again, it was even more shocking. The Shenyin Sect was a well-known sect after all, but her disciples were actually wearing straw sandals!

That’s right, they are straw sandals, and if you look closely, they should be the ones they weave themselves.

Ji Xiuzhu: Oh! That’s all. I came here just to “atone for my sins”.

"How old are you this year?"

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Hu Yin and then asked.

"Master, I am seventeen years old now."

Hu Yin frowned in confusion. Why did his master ask him about his age? Moreover, the way he looked at him always made him feel uneasy.

Ji Xiuzhu asked him his age in order to pick out suitable clothes for him later. As for staring at him, it was to estimate his clothing size and, by the way, to infer what size shoes he should wear.

"Evil...Xiao Lanzi, what about you?"

Ji Xiuzhu stuck out his tongue in his heart. He often called his little disciple "evil disciple". He was so anxious that the word "evil disciple" almost slipped out of his mouth.

It was the first time that Qin Lan was called like that by Ji Xiuzhu, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He didn't like the old devil calling him like that, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.

After bowing, he replied, "My disciple is fourteen years old now."

Ji Xiuzhu: Hmm, fourteen. Hmm? How much? Fourteen?

Ji Xiuzhu remembered that when Qin Lan was fourteen years old, the original owner asked him to deliver medicine to the Hehuan Sect, and then he was favored by the old sister of the Hehuan Sect. She came to the door and gave the original owner 30,000 high-quality spirit stones, and the original owner sent the little disciple to the old sister's bed! Later, the little disciple learned from the disciples of the Hehuan Sect that all this was framed by the original owner, and then he became a demon in anger, went to the Shenyin Sect, and began to "open his heart" to the original owner.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu anxiously grabbed Qin Lan's shoulders and asked, "Have you been to the Hehuan Sect?!"

Hearing this, Qin Lan thought Ji Xiuzhu was blaming him for not going to Hehuan Sect to deliver medicine yet, so he hurriedly said, "Master, didn't you say you would go on the 15th? Today is only the 14th...Master, don't be upset. I will..."

"Don't go!"

Before Qin Lan could finish her words, Ji Xiuzhu grabbed her tightly.

"I said, no! You! Are! Not! Allowed! To! Go! Do you hear me? Stay away from the Hehuan Sect from now on! If the members of the sect cause you trouble, tell your master! Got it?"

Ji Xiuzhu was afraid that he couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned close to his ear and pronounced the words very clearly.

Qin Lan had never seen his master like this before, and he didn't know how to react for a moment. Moreover, the hot air exhaled from Ji Xiuzhu's mouth made his ears itchy, and for a moment his ears turned red unconsciously, and then spread to his neck.

"The master is talking to you! What does it mean to be dumbfounded? Do you understand or not?"

Seeing Qin Lan standing there frozen in place, Ji Xiuzhu thought that he was afraid of the original owner, so he let go of his hand that was holding Qin Lan.

"Brother...disciple, I understand. From now on, I will stay away from the Hehuan Sect and its disciples."

Qin Lan suppressed her pounding heart and stammered to answer Ji Xiuzhu.

"Well, you are a teachable boy. Oh, look at my brain, I was distracted by this and almost forgot what I was doing. You, follow me."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he planned to walk out of the hall.

"Master, where are we going?" Hu Yin asked.

“Go into town and do some shopping.”

Ji Xiuzhu spoke briefly and to the point without stopping.
