Chapter 1319 Master, Trust Me

"Someone's coming!"

Upon hearing the noise, Wuyou suddenly burst into tears of joy and rushed towards Zhang Chengxuan above the cave entrance.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah!!! You've finally arrived, Master Zhang! I've been waiting for so long!"

Even when she encounters someone she knows, Wuyou can still burst into tears of grievance.

Song Chunxue thought to herself, this thing is better at dealing with people than she is. She wanted to be like it, but she didn't dare.

However, she was quite relieved that she hadn't been beaten to death.

She fought the vixen with the Overlord sword, collapsing the roof he had painstakingly arranged. Then, he became a beast, grabbing Song Chunxue's hair and tossing her around like a toy. Even though the Overlord sword pierced her thigh, he was determined to kill her and punched her until she couldn't move.

Fortunately, Wuyou provided timely assistance, piercing the abdomen with a sword just as the old dog was about to smash his face.

This was the first time Song Chunxue had ever seen Wuyou transform into a weapon even more ferocious than the Overlord, blasting away someone's golden core with a few thuds.

Her head throbbed with a dull pain, and before she could think of anything else, she closed her eyes and fainted from the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Chunxue woke up.

In that instant, the pain in her ribs and limbs made her feel that it would have been better if she hadn't woken up at all.

She breathed a sigh of relief. There was a bed canopy overhead, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

"Master."

It was Qi Yun's voice, and hearing it made me feel extremely guilty.

Song Chunxue turned her head, her neck also aching. "Why are you still here?"

Qi Yun remained silent.

Where is this?

"It's still at the inn at the foot of that mountain," Qi Yun said hesitantly. "This matter has caused quite a stir. My master will be coming tomorrow, and several of my uncles, aunts, and other relatives will also be coming."

Song Chunxue laughed, a laugh that made her ribs ache, and she held her breath, speaking very softly.

"Everyone's coming to attack me?" she said calmly. "What did I do to deserve this? I hope my master will stand up for me."

"It's not entirely about punishing him. Mainly, my eighth uncle has always been disliked, but he's quite powerful. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't dislike him but be unable to do anything about it," Qi Yun whispered. "But it's definitely a chance to use this opportunity to teach my master a lesson. My aunts are all very shrewish. If I become your disciple, it might..."

"Why don't we just sever our master-disciple relationship right now? Can't I just avoid them if I can't afford to offend them?" Song Chunxue rolled her eyes, her muscles aching from the strain. "Senior brother, where is senior brother?"

Over the years, my senior brother is still the most reliable.

Wuyou floated in from outside, "Master Zhang went to the street to buy you medicine. Your internal injuries are too severe and will heal slowly. No matter how many pills you've taken, you won't recover in a short time. He also went to buy you food."

"What did you buy?" Song Chunxue asked irritably. "I have no appetite right now. Have him expel this disciple from the sect for me!"

"Master, don't be angry, and don't rush to send me away. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle. I'm on your side." Qi Yun sat on the low stool by the bed, looking annoyed.

“Everything was as I expected, but I never imagined that Uncle Ba would be so inhuman and so cruel to you.” He kept his head down. “I’m sorry, Master. I will be ready to serve you at any time. Just tell me if you need anything.”

Song Chunxue's throat bobbed. "Water."

"Okay, I'll go pour you some right away!" He immediately got up and ran to the table to pour water, almost tripping and falling hard on his knees.

She closed her eyes and pondered the ins and outs of this incident.

She realized once again that she was not strong enough to go out alone. What she possessed was too conspicuous and coveted, making her want to die.

After drinking the water, she leaned against the soft blanket, not daring to move at all.

It hurts when I move it.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside.

“Master, don’t worry, there’s an array set up outside the inn,” Qi Yun said in a low voice. “I didn’t expect my junior uncle’s talisman array skills to be so exquisite, much better than yours.”

That vixen, she's really gone for it!

She thought she had always been cultivating herself and her mind, and rarely did anything outrageous, excessive, or regrettable. But now she regretted taking on such a troublesome disciple.

Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit—she couldn't afford such a disciple; who knew what trouble he might cause her next?

Even harder to manage than the fourth child.

Ah, that's just how people are.

Whether something is good or bad, it's all about comparison.

Thinking about it this way, she regretted not going down the mountain to see her fourth and second brothers before she came.

Even if we don't meet in person, just seeing each other from afar would be nice.

This time, being targeted by that old fox, who knows if I'll see the sun rise tomorrow morning.

I must go and see it next time.

Actually, it's not necessary to emphasize to yourself that the child is the child, you are yourself, you are a practitioner, and you are Master Song.

There's no need for that. You should still make yourself happy and be able to let go of things. A moment of hesitation might leave behind an eternal regret.

I used to live a muddled life, and no matter how difficult or unacceptable things were, I would just bury my head in work and forget about them, or force myself to swallow the burning sensation in my throat.

But that won't work now.

All the grudges from her past life, she chewed up little by little and truly swallowed through her daily cultivation, like a ruminating cow or sheep.

So, if you're still the same as before, subconsciously thinking that small things are no big deal, you'll still feel uneasy when you think about them later.

After nearly ten years of cultivation, Song Chunxue still hasn't learned to worship herself as a god or Buddha.

Buddhists have all sentient beings in their hearts, while Taoists only have themselves in their hearts, and only then do they have sentient beings in their hearts.

If you can't even understand yourself, how can you save the world?

Song Chunxue decided that next time she would comfort herself like a child.

Hmm, thinking like that, my breathing became much calmer, and the wound didn't hurt as much.

She will never take on any more apprentices.

"Master, my senior brother is back."

Song Chunxue looked up and saw her senior brother, who looked exhausted.

"Why didn't you use a Cold Spirit Stone?" He took one out and handed it to her. "Or do you prefer the feeling of being in so much pain that you can't move?"

Song Chunxue didn't reach out. "I didn't remember. You can feed me instead. My arm hurts so much I can't lift it."

Zhang Chengxuan put one in her mouth, and she chewed it a few times like a bean. After swallowing it, she felt much better.

Qi Yun pointed at her shoulder, "Even the bloodstains have disappeared. This thing is definitely not as simple as a spirit stone. No wonder my eighth uncle had his eye on you. You are much more useful than ginseng and lingzhi. You gave me quite a lot of this powerful stuff."

"I shouldn't have given it to you; it's made me suffer like this." Song Chunxue moved her shoulders and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? The pain is less than half gone?"

Zhang Chengxuan nodded, his expression serious.

"Junior brother, there's something I need to discuss with you, it's very urgent." Zhang Chengxuan ordered Qi Yun, "Go outside and keep watch, don't let anyone in, and don't eavesdrop."

"Yes." Qi Yun got up and walked out, glancing thoughtfully at Song Chunxue several times. "I will hold them off."

Halfway there, he suddenly turned back to Song Chunxue and said, "Master, I am serious about becoming your disciple. Please don't say anything about expelling me from the sect anymore. Master, as long as you believe in me, I will ensure your safe departure."
