Ren Bin paced back and forth in front of the door, looking somewhat uneasy.
“Master?”
Chen Bo Yu suddenly poked her head out from outside the door, holding Xiao Shu Yao, whose face was slightly red from the cold.
“How is Senior Sister?” She asked tentatively, her tone and attitude unusually well-behaved.
“…Bo Yu, come here.”
Ren Bin’s gaze locked onto Chen Bo Yu.
“Master, what have I done to……………..?”
Shu Yao wriggled out of Chen Bo Yu’s arms and sat obediently on a nearby stool.
Chen Bo Yu carefully walked over to Ren Bin.
Seeing that he made no move, she began to relax a bit, only to have her cheek grabbed.
“What did you say to your senior sister?”
Ren Bin’s tone was full of confusion.
He couldn’t understand how Yin Yue could be so affected by a few words.
Chen Bo Yu was on the verge of tears: “I didn’t say anything………………””I just comforted her a bit and encouraged her. I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have.”
Chen Bo Yu felt very wronged.
Although she was talkative, she really hadn’t said much this time.
First, she was scolded by her senior sister, and then by her master.
Boo hoo, the sunny girl was about to be ruined.
Ren Bin let go of her cheek, and Chen Bo Yu quickly covered her reddened face, looking tearful.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Ren Bin who had personally brought Chen Bo Yu back to the peak, he would have suspected that this girl had escaped from some evil cult to spread their teachings.
She could almost drive someone to the brink of going astray with just a few words…
In any evil cult, she would at least be a top-notch missionary with an annual salary of over two hundred thousand spiritual stones.
“Senior sister was originally very sad. I comforted her a bit, and she somehow got angry.”
“Hmm?”
Ren Bin furrowed his brows, feeling like he had hit upon something important.
“How did you comfort her?”
“Esti……”
“Don’t let the master be disappointed. The master and the master mother are waiting for her outside.”
Chen Bo Yu blinked her eyes: “That’s all.”
“Oh! Senior sister seemed very surprised by the master mother!”
“And she asked me about it again, and then… then there was a problem.”
Ren Bin pinched his chin in thought.
It was normal for Yin Yue to be surprised by Yu Xian, after all, Yu Xian had only returned after Yin Yue had closed herself in meditation.
He suddenly remembered the scene in the cave just now.
Yin Yue, who had already calmed down, seemed to have gone berserk again after Yu Xian spoke.
Could it be………………
A flash of inspiration struck Ren Bin.
Could it be that this girl was worried about him?
After all, he had also spoken ill of Yu Xian to them before, but that was just him venting his frustration……………
This girl, could she be worried about him?
The more Ren Bin thought about it, the more it made sense.
It was precisely because she was worried about him, fearing that Yu Xian was a threat, that she impulsively cultivated and almost went astray.
He understood Yin Yue’s feelings for him, like a teacher, like a father.
If it hadn’t been for him finding the barely alive Yin Yue back then, this girl would probably have been killed by the assassins long ago.
A wave of warmth flowed through Ren Bin’s heart.
At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open.
Yu Xian wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking a bit tired.
“Good work.”
Ren Bin handed over the prepared tea, and Yu Xian took the cup, taking a small sip.
The tea’s fragrance was refreshing, dispelling her fatigue.
“Clearing the demonic energy was more tiring than I imagined.”
Because of Mu Yin Yue’s sudden outburst, Yu Xian had to sever her connection with the demonic energy with a single sword strike.
The cost was that, although Mu Yin Yue fainted, a small part of the demonic energy still remained in her meridians.
Demonic energy would corrode the meridians and turn a cultivator into a waste.
Fortunately, Ren Bin had suppressed it in time, preventing the demonic energy from continuing to spread.
“If you’re tired, let me come in and help you.”
“No way.”
Yu Xian rejected him outright.
“Although she is your disciple, there is a distinction between men and women. You should minimize touching her body.”
Infusing and manipulating spiritual energy requires close contact with the skin.
Her gaze turned somber:
“Or do you want to take advantage of your disciple?”
“………………Good work.”
Ren Bin’s mouth twitched, quickly changing the subject.
Yu Xian shook her head:”It’s nothing.”
“It’s just that, even though you suppressed it quickly.”
Her face rarely showed a hint of helplessness: “Her meridians were still partially damaged by the demonic energy.
“Your so-called seventh or eighth-grade Clear Meridian Pills have little effect on the damage caused by the demonic energy.”
“At least give her a sixth-grade one, quality doesn’t matter.”
“A sixth-grade one?”
Seventh-grade and below pills are ordinary pills that can be easily purchased within the sect.
Anything above seventh-grade is quite valuable, and even Taiheng Sect strictly controls them.
Ren Bin let out a soft sigh:“Alright, I’ll head to the Danfeng Peak now.”
For a sixth-grade pill, one could seek it from the Danfeng Peak.
“Trouble you to look after Yin Yue.”
He turned to leave.
“Sister Potato, what are you hiding here for?”
Shuyao’s voice came just in time.
Chen Bo Yu, who was hiding behind little Shuyao, stiffened.
When she raised her head, she met Ren Bin’s gaze, who had turned at the sound.
“Seventeen hundred times, tomorrow morning, don’t forget.”
Ren Bin was speechless.
He had forgotten about this girl who liked to shirk work and almost let her slack off again.
“Master, can it be less?”
“I won’t be able to finish copying even if I lose my hands………………”
Ren Bin’s face darkened: “No negotiation.”
“Little Shuyao……………” Seeing Ren Bin’s relentless attitude, Chen Bo Yu could only cast a pitiful look at Shuyao.
“Sister Potato, if you’re going to cultivate, I won’t disturb you.”
Little Shuyao sat on the other side, very understanding.
Yuyu.
Even little Shuyao wouldn’t help her.
Ren Bin turned and left.
The room became quiet all at once.
Shuyao sat in front of the table, engrossed in the picture book in her hand.
“Master Mother, I’ll go back first too.”
Chen Bo Yu, with her head hanging low, was about to leave when Yu Xian called her.
“Bo Yu, come here.”
Yu Xian patted the stool beside her.
Chen Bo Yu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately dashed to Yu Xian’s side.
“Master Mother, Master Mother, will you help me plead with Master?”
“No.”
Yu Xian shook her head.
“Ow……………”
Chen Bo Yu immediately wilted.
“Bo Yu, I ask you, do you like talisman cultivation?”
Chen Bo Yu replied quickly: “No.”
Hehe, as expected.
Yu Xian felt secretly pleased inside:
“Then do you like sword cultivation?”
Before Chen Bo Yu could answer, Yu Xian continued:
“Your physique is very suitable for sword cultivation, and you are still young. It’s not too late to start over.”
“I’ve already discussed it with your Master.
If you are willing to cultivate the sword, I can teach you personally.”
Seeing Chen Bo Yu’s astonished expression, Yu Xian’s lips curled up slightly.
She used to be called the Sword Fairy.
People would beg her to learn the sword, but she paid no attention.
To become her disciple was an honor.
Chen Bo Yu blinked her eyes, her lips slightly parted, and she stammered for several seconds.
“But, Master Mother.”
“I don’t want to learn the sword either?”
Yu Xian:???
“Hehe, Master Mother, you’ve misunderstood.”
Chen Bo Yu scratched her head, laughing:
“I’m actually not very interested in cultivation.”
“Cultivating the sword would be even more tiring…… It’s better to save some energy to avoid Master.”
Although the latter half of the sentence was muttered in a low voice, Yu Xian heard it clearly.
Yu Xian: ………………
She now understood what Ren Bin meant at that time.
“Then go and copy the punishment.”
Yu Xian’s tone immediately returned to her usual coldness.
“I will supervise you.”
“ASAS……”
How heartless Master Mother is!
