Chen Xiao had tried to use his mental power to direct the power to move around his body. It was very hard to move it from the forehead to the hand and then push it out. Therefore, he clearly knew how delicate it was to be able to control the true energy accurately to cover the hand and heat only a thin layer. Chen Xiao said sincerely: "Brother is really amazing."

Xi Yunting's nervousness was relieved by the praise. So he frowned, rubbed Chen Xiao vigorously with his hands, and said to him, "Lie down."

Chen Xiao turned his head back obediently. Soon he was no longer able to marvel and admire. Xi Yunting knew the meridians and muscles of the human body very well. Every movement of his hands accurately pressed the painful areas. Massage alone could play a considerable role, not to mention that he specially heated the medicated oil to make the drug work faster. Almost immediately, Chen Xiao felt hot and numb on his back, and a cool and comfortable feeling permeated into his body.

"Hmm..." Chen Xiao tried hard to hold back the sound of humming. Xi Yunting's hands were extremely strong, and every massage was painful and sour. Chen Xiao wanted to escape from Xi Yunting's palm because of the pain, but he wanted to continue to enjoy it because of the sourness. Soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.

Xi Yunting naturally heard Chen Xiao's suppressed groan. He knew it was painful. When he was young, the intensity of his training was only several times higher than it is now, and it was definitely not less than Chen Xiao's current strength. At first, his senior brother helped him to massage his clenched and sore muscles. Later, when he had made some progress in his internal breath, he never bothered his senior brother again, and just used his internal breath to relieve the pain himself.

He said to Chen Xiao, who unconsciously tightened up to avoid pain, "Relax and don't resist. The more you resist, the more pain you'll feel. Afterwards, there will only be comfort, no pain."

It is human instinct to avoid pain. Chen Xiao could not relax just because he wanted to give up the fight. What's more, it was really too painful. The torture-like feeling was no less than that during the day. Chen Xiao could not say a word. Even his breathing was affected and became rapid.

Every muscle in the shoulders, neck, back, and waist was carefully taken care of, even the two major tendons were not left out. Chen Xiao was only wearing a pair of tight underwear. When he first climbed onto the bed, he was a little embarrassed, but now he couldn't even remember how to write those four words. Only when Xi Yunting stood up and poured the medicated oil into his palm did he have the energy to breathe for a moment, and soon he fell into the pain and pleasure of life and death again.

The massage of the entire upper body lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and then Xi Yunting carefully massaged Chen Xiao's legs. The lower limbs were more severely affected than the upper body, and the muscle groups were more stiff and tense. Xi Yunting's fingers pressed hard on the meridians, and Chen Xiao could no longer hold back tears.

His breathing became shorter, lighter, and more rapid, with an occasional sob that he couldn't hide. Perhaps because he felt it was too embarrassing to cry because of pain at such an old age, Chen Xiao held the pillow under his head tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

Seeing him like this, Xi Yunting felt sorry for him. However, the only solution he could think of was to speed up the movements of his hands so that the massage would end quickly. As a result, his kindness was not used in the right place, and Chen Xiao could not help but scream out: "Ah——" This scream made Xi Yunting's heart flutter, and his hands stopped moving immediately.

Feeling the hand on his body stop moving, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look back. Xi Yunting frowned slightly, looking at him with a worried and slightly reluctant look. Chen Xiao's face was flushed again when he was looked at, and he said awkwardly: "I'm fine, big brother. I can bear it, don't worry about me, you continue."

Although there were no tears on his face, his eye circles and nose tip were red. His handsome face was pleasing to the eye, and the blush on his face due to embarrassment made him even more lovable. Even Xi Yunting was no exception. His heart softened, and Xi Yunting said, "The medicated oil I used on you will not cause any residual pain after the massage, so you can sleep well at night. You will definitely feel relaxed and refreshed the next day."

Chen Xiao turned back and uttered a muffled “hmm”. He said, “I know that big brother means well, it’s just that my body is not doing well.”

Xi Yunting continued to massage his legs. The muscles there were denser, tighter and more elastic. The young skin was smooth and tender, which made Xi Yunting think that human skin would feel like this. There was an attraction that sucked his palm tightly and couldn't help but linger. Is this what it means to have skin as white as cream and be unable to let go of your fingers?

Xi Yunting quickly realized that this idea was somewhat disrespectful to Chen Xiao, and that it was inappropriate for him to have such an idea. He immediately restrained his thoughts, severely condemned himself, and then threw the idea aside.

In order to distract himself, Xi Yunting said, "Don't belittle yourself. You've done well enough." Chen Xiao's willpower and endurance really impressed Xi Yunting. With the same amount of training, even the disciples of Chongxuan Sect would cry and feel sad and angry during the initial training. Chen Xiao never complained about the hardship or tiredness, and never complained a bit. Of course, it was because he was older when he started training and had strong endurance. But his tenacious character played the most important role in it.

Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Brother, stop praising me. I think there are not many people in Chongxuan who can't stand the pain like me."

Xi Yunting said, "You are wrong. Not to mention those who cried while stretching, there were also some who cried bitterly just after the massage."

Chen Xiao looked back at him curiously and asked, "After they finish the basic exercises, they will also massage like this."

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Of course. Companions often help each other and massage each other."

Xi Yunting knew this very well. During some basic training, due to their age, Xi Yunting often met with disciples of a lower generation than him. The friendship of helping each other among fellow disciples once made Xi Yunting very envious. Because of his identity and special abilities, this envy made people remember it deeply, and finally turned into regret.

Xi Yunting thought of the past and felt depressed for a moment. But when he saw Chen Xiao turning his head and looking at him curiously, his depressed mood immediately dissipated. He said, "So, after the next training, I will come to help you. I will massage you with medicated oil every day so that you can recover faster."

Chen Xiao always felt that something was wrong, but Xi Yunting said that his disciples all helped each other in this way, so it seemed natural for him to be taken care of by his elder brother. He had no choice but to agree obediently and thank Xi Yunting for his kindness.

Chen Xiao's obedient nod made Xi Yunting in a good mood. As expected, giving is more pleasant than receiving, he thought.

The next day, Chen Xiao woke up and felt extremely relaxed. He was full of strength and felt so light that he could fly. He was full of confidence and energy and went to Xi Yunting's East Courtyard for today's training. He felt that since he was in such a good state today, he would definitely not come back like a dead dog.

However, all this was just his illusion. The time they spent together last night brought the two of them closer, but Xi Yunting was still as cold as a stone, showing no mercy. After completing the basic training, he began to formally learn the body movements. The movements became more difficult, and the energy consumption increased further. He really didn't leave him any room to relax, which was very much in line with Xi Yunting's style.

That day, he still dragged his feet back to the South Courtyard. He didn't show it on his face, but he felt that his elder brother was too cold and heartless. As a result, after taking a bath at night, Xi Yunting came as promised with the medicated oil. After a painful and sour massage, Chen Xiao rolled into the bed and felt comfortable all over. He felt that his elder brother was so considerate and thoughtful. There was no better person than him.

In this repetitive pain and comfort, Chen Xiao quickly laid a good foundation and his body movements became a little better. At this time, Yin had finished talking to Han Yuanchun about Hanshan City's formal vassalage of the Chongxuan Sect. For a formal meeting, Han Yuanchun, the city lord, must go to Luochen Great Heaven Realm in person to meet with the headmaster's office. However, Han Yuanchun couldn't leave now, and could only wait until the civil strife was quelled and the matter was understood before he could leave.

After finishing the business, Manager Yin set off with the people of Changjia Village. When they left, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting went to see them off together. Manager Yin was fine, as he was used to such scenes. The people of Changjia Village were different. After spending some time with Chen Xiao, some of them were reluctant to leave. Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be like this. We will have a chance to meet again in the future. When you have achieved success in your cultivation and can go out for training, you may meet there. Or I will visit Chongxuan one day in the future."

Manager Yin asked Xi Yunting, who usually had no expression, "Are you really not going back together this time?"

Xi Yunting looked away and said calmly, "No. Anyway, this time, Senior Brother Yin brought the reward for this mission directly, and the merits have been settled, so the mission is considered completed. There is no need for me to return to the sect in the short term. Besides, Master is in retreat now, so I don't need to go back to disturb him. It's also good to travel outside with my companions."

Manager Yin followed Xi Yunting's gaze and saw a few people talking around Chen Xiao. Thinking about how the junior brother finally made a friend, he must be very happy at this moment. And he was unwilling to go back at this moment, maybe because he was worried that his ability would go out of control by accident, causing the master in seclusion to fail?

He patted Xi Yunting and said, "Well, you can travel without any worries. I will have someone notify you if anything happens."

Xi Yunting turned his head, looked at him with his obsidian eyes, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yin."

As soon as they left, Zhushanju suddenly became much emptier. Chen Xiao suggested going back to the City Lord's Mansion. Xi Yunting thought about it and decided that changing places wouldn't make much difference. The two of them dealt with some things in Zhushanju that couldn't be kept for a long time and returned to Hanshan City.

When Tong Nuonuo saw him after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he complained. His injuries had almost healed, with only a few faint scars left, which would take some time to eliminate with topical medication. He could walk around, but he was a road idiot and didn't dare to move around alone in the huge City Lord's Mansion. Every time he wanted to go out, he couldn't find anyone to accompany him.
