"A frog in a well can't understand the vastness of the world, I don't blame you."

Xia Che's complaints no longer affected this woman who knew her disciple's character. She didn't even turn her head and said indifferently, "I thought you would come back on my birthday and use it as an excuse to get me to unseal your meridians."

"I didn't expect you to come see me so early."

"You little brat, at least you have some conscience."

Su Miaorou glanced at Xia Che; this was the first time she had turned around.

The beauty pouts coquettishly.

But Su Miaorou's refined temperament made this rare hint of reproach on her seem even more extraordinary.

Even celestial beings living in the heavens experience the disconnect of human emotions.

"You're not that much older than me, are you..."

Xia Che shook his head. Su Miaorou was a woman who liked to act like a senior in front of him.

He then went to the other person's side and sat down with a thud.

"Your posture is incorrect; you should sit cross-legged."

Su Miaorou was stunned for a moment before she could speak.

Because she didn't say those words.

Although that's exactly what she was going to say...

"After all these years, don't I know you?"

Xia Che turned his head and chuckled.

Whenever he slouched, Su Miaorou would always be there to correct him.

She has always had zero tolerance for these bad habits of hers.

But what does it matter?

Although such bad habits were despicable in Su Miaorou's aloof eyes, but...

It's really comfortable!

Xia Che is not someone who likes to be bound by rules and regulations.

"..."

Su Miaorou seemed to choke for a moment and didn't speak again, but her eyes became even more resentful.

Xia Che remained silent, simply chuckling as he met his gaze.

When I was young, I didn't understand Su Miaorou's beauty; I only saw her as an evil pervert who would beat me up at the drop of a hat.

But now that I'm older, I know how to appreciate beauty.

Su Miaorou is stunningly beautiful, and possesses an elegance that ordinary people could never have in their lifetime.

Xia Che found this elegant lotus, detached from the world, quite pleasing to the eye just to look at.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

After a long while, Su Miaorou seemed unable to see through Xia Che's thoughts; she really had no way to deal with her disciple.

Over the years, this kid has always managed to do some things that leave people speechless.

Trying to understand Xia Che's thoughts?

Doing this will only lead to one outcome: complete confusion and potentially even mental breakdown.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that..."

Xia Che scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. Just as he was about to explain his purpose, he suddenly saw Su Miaorou's face turn icy cold.

"There are enemies."

Su Miaorou suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing like lightning.

Her expression was grave, and her red lips parted slightly: "There are many of them, and each one is a master!"

"What trouble have you gotten into outside?"

Su Miaorou glared at Xia Che.

"Me? I didn't mess with anyone... Uh? It seems there are indeed people who want to kill me, but I don't know who they are, and they seem to be quite a large group."

Xia Che was stunned for a moment.

Xia Che initially thought Su Miaorou was joking, but when he saw her serious expression, his lips twitched, and he felt a mix of emotions.

Those people were like flies that had smelled blood; they were always looking for an opportunity to kill me.

But how should I put it...

Through their efforts, they finally found the only way to die.

Of all times to come, why did they have to choose this moment when I came to see my master...?

That's really bad; even a god couldn't save them now.

"What? Someone wants to kill you? Who?"

Upon hearing this, Su Miaorou, who was about to go over and deal with these uninvited guests, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Xia Che, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Who dares to plot against Xia Che?

Do they know who they are?

besides……

Judging from Xia Che's words, this wasn't the first time this group had attacked him.

That……

Where did the four-colored roses go?

The armed force that Xia Che personally trained and that belonged to him—was it all just for show?

"Don't blame the Four-Colored Roses. They have protected me many times. As for where that group came from, how many of them there are, and whose faction they belong to... to be honest, I don't know any of that."

Xia Che shrugged: "I'm still investigating too."

He and Su Miaorou were of one mind, and he could tell what the other was thinking at a glance.

They're definitely planning to cause trouble for the four-colored roses later.

After thinking about it, I realized they had already taken good care of me.

Besides, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

It would be a miracle if it could be defended against...

"We'll find out who sent them soon enough."

Su Miaorou said quietly.

Seeing that her unreliable apprentice was no longer going to give her any useful information, Su Miaorou decided that she would have to find out the truth herself.

Anyway...

If you break their arms and legs but leave them with their mouths, they'll definitely tell you what you want to know, right?

Immediately, Xia Che didn't even see Su Miaorou's movements; the next second, a living person vanished right before his eyes.

Xia Che was already used to this obviously unusual method.

If his master were too ordinary, that would be abnormal.

"I just haven't had a chance to say it yet... Oh well, I'll have him unseal my meridians later."

Xia Che scratched his head, somewhat helplessly.

...

In the lush, dense forest, a group of well-trained people climbed upwards with agile movements.

Before long, a bamboo house appeared before them, seemingly separating the entire world from the outside world.

The bamboo house stood alone before me, like a green lotus, supporting the entire world.

Even though this group of people were well-traveled and knowledgeable, they were still shocked by what they saw.

"Mr. Zhuang, you are Chinese. Are these kinds of buildings common where you live?"

Lyman's eyes widened: "No wonder you Chinese have such a good reputation overseas. Everyone thinks you know martial arts and like to live in seclusion... I thought it was just a stereotype, but it's true?"

"It is indeed a stereotype. This is the first time I have ever seen such a magnificent building. Who could have such great ability to build a bamboo house at such a high place?"

Zhuang Zhuliu's cloudy eyes were filled with shock. Even though he had spent his whole life wandering the martial world and had seen more strange things than stars in the sky, he had never seen such a bamboo house.

Xia Che is actually here?

No wonder those two girls said when they provided information that Xia Che definitely couldn't escape...

Zhuang Zhuliu looked down at the bottomless valley, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
