Chapter 110

After staying all night, we returned to the main peak and saw Jitang sitting under the long vine flowers.

The extended brown branches wove a thin dry net above her head. The weather was cold, and the radish flowers had all withered, leaving not even a single brittle leaf.

He made a light stroke of his right hand in the air, and the long branches swayed. In the blink of an eye, they became green. Tender green buds emerged from the dead branches, and then stretched out dense green leaves. Flower buds emerged among them and soon bloomed.

In just one breath, the long radish flowers returned to their most vigorous flowering period.

He waved his sleeves, placed his arms behind his back, and swept his sleeves towards the long radish flowers with the abundant spiritual power of Qianli Yanbo. The spiritual power covered each petal and gradually melted into the petals. The petals were nourished and the colors became more and more brilliant.

Petals fell one by one, landing on Jitang's hair and her shoulders.

She smiled and looked up at the sudden rain of petals.

Su Jinzhou's eyes never left her from beginning to end.

This rain of flowers was grand, gorgeous, and fragrant, but it was not even one-tenth as beautiful as hers.

“Senior Brother!”

Su Jinzhou's gaze met hers, and his eyes were immediately filled with smiles.

He walked over to Jitang and sat down.

Jitang poured tea for him.

"Brother, how about trying what I cooked?"

After Su Jinzhou finished drinking, he took a look at the tea and then looked up at her.

Jitang couldn't help laughing, "Is it delicious?"

Small sour jujube fruits are added to the tea soup. The fruits are the size of dates and taste very sour. People use them for seasoning. Just one can make a lot of sour jujube jam. If you eat the fruits alone, you will drool as soon as you put them in your mouth.

Ji Tang threw one into the pot and boiled it with the tea. When the tea entered his mouth, in addition to the tea fragrance, there was also a lot of sourness mixed with the slightly astringent taste of the tea soup. Although it could not be said to be unpalatable, it could not be said to be delicious either.

Su Jinzhou looked calm as he sipped his tea and asked, "Why did you think of adding sour jujube fruit?"

Ji Tang glanced at the round table and said, "Gu Yan sent it to us because he knew we were back."

On top of it are washed fruits in porcelain plates, of various kinds and varieties, dotted with a few small sour fruits. These fruits are bright red and can be used to make jam for seasoning, and their only purpose is decoration.

Su Jinzhou smiled. Only Jitang could think of throwing this thing into the pot and boiling it with tea leaves.

The petals' falling momentum gradually slowed down.

Ji Tang took a deep breath, and his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of the long radish flowers.

"Thousand Miles of Smoke is filled with spiritual energy. This long radish flower can bloom all year round regardless of the season. I was just wondering how it withered so cleanly."

Before I got home from the boat, I had no time to care whether the radish flowers bloomed or not.

Due to the demons in his heart, his emotions often get out of control.

When he lost control, these blooming long vine flowers were an eyesore to him, and the petals that occasionally floated outside the magic cave also made him irritated.

He had no intention of appreciating it at all, and felt that it would be better for it to disappear completely.

After that, all the long radish flowers withered away. Although they grew in Qianli Yanbo, they were no different from the ordinary long radish flowers growing in the sect, and they grew according to the season.

When the time comes for the flowers to bloom, if Su Jinzhou can keep his emotions stable, the flowers will bloom as usual. If he loses control of his emotions, the spring will be in full bloom, and the long radish flowers will only be a dead tree.

Su Jinzhou took a sip of tea.

Just like this tea, when Jitang is not around, it is so sour and astringent that it is hard to drink. But when Jitang is around, it becomes sweeter than honey.

He laughed and said, "It's a bit boring to look the same all year round."

Jitang didn't think much about it and nodded.

After they rested for a while, they went to Master Wushu's Ganri Peak in the afternoon.

Jitang still looks like Jiushuishen now, and he is wearing the blue and white uniform of an outer disciple.

She followed Su Jinzhou, two steps away from him, playing the role of a little disciple. But before she had walked far, Su Jinzhou in Xuanyi came to her side.

The other disciples who were passing by from a distance looked over, confused and bewildered, their gazes fixed on Ji Tang full of scrutiny and inquiry.

Ji Tang: "Brother, be careful of the impact."

Su Jinzhou laughed in his heart, but his face was serious, "Influence?" He looked around, and wherever his eyes fell, the disciples lowered their heads. After looking around like this, everyone became frozen in place.

Jitang: “…”

Su Jinzhou smiled: "No impact."

Whatever the Immortal Master says is right.

Jitang followed him up the thousand steps of Ganri Peak and stood in front of the master's hall to salute.

"Disciples Su Jinzhou and Jitang pay their respects to the Sect Master."

The palace door took a long time to open and there was no movement inside.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They changed their names.

"Disciples Su Jinzhou and Jitang pay their respects to the Master."

The master's hall then slowly opened to both sides.

The two entered the hall, and the wooden door closed again with a heavy sound.

As soon as the door closed, Ji Tang lifted her skirt and ran up more than ten steps, heading straight for the higher-ranking Master Wu Shu.

Master Wu Shu glared at her angrily: "Now you don't know how to behave properly?"

Before Master Wu Shu could finish his words, Ji Tang jumped onto the Sect Master's high chair and hugged his master's arm. "Master! I haven't seen you for so many years. Why are you so mean to me when you see me?"

Master Wu Shu's beard, which had grown to his front, twitched. "Girl, you're still so outgoing even at your age."

Ji Tang leaned on his master's shoulder and said, "You're almost three thousand years old, can't you act like a spoiled child?"

Master Wu Shu was amused by her. He looked at Su Jinzhou who was standing below him, shook his head and said, "You and your senior brother really have two different personalities. One is too cold and sullen, while the other is lively and cheerful."

Ji Tang also looked at Su Jinzhou, "Senior Brother is going to cover for me. Doesn't Master feel at ease with him like this?"

Master Wu Shu: "If it weren't for your senior brother, I would really be worried."

After not seeing each other for many years, Master Wu Shu finally saw Ji Tang. Seeing that she was the same as before, he felt relieved, but he was still very distressed.

This child seems to be different from Su Jinzhou, one is cold and the other is hot, one is quiet and the other is active, but in fact they have one thing in common, that is, they keep everything in their hearts and carry everything on their own.

Su Jinzhou never shows anything, so you can't tell what he is thinking. The expression on his face never changes all year round. Sometimes he is even more patient and calm than his master.

Jitang disguised herself very well. She smiled on the surface and seemed to care about nothing and that nothing could affect her, but in fact she was hiding the heavy part of herself.

The two children didn't want him to worry, but he was really worried. Instead, he wanted them to rely on him more so that he, as their master, could work harder.

Master Wu Shu sighed, raised his hand and rubbed Ji Tang's head until it became a tangled mess.

He felt much better when he saw Jitang's beautiful eyes were a little confused, like a bird with messy feathers.

"How long do you want to stay in the sect this time?"

Su Jinzhou looked at her when he heard that.

Jitang: "Not long, there are still many things to do."

Master Wu Shu frowned immediately, "Leaving again?"

Ji Tang smiled, "The matter of the Black Lord alone is enough of a headache. I must deal with him to prevent future troubles." She appeased her master, "Although I have to go out, I have decided to stay at my senior brother's place. Master occasionally goes to other sects' palaces to participate in conferences. Can I stay in the sect forever?"

Master Wu Shu was relieved. "Just don't be like before..." He stopped talking. "Just stay at your senior brother's Qianliyanbo and let your senior brother follow you when you go out."

Ji Tang nodded and said with a smile: "I know, I want my senior brother to cover the bottom."

Only then did Su Jinzhou smile.

Ji Tang hadn't seen her master for a long time and had endless things to say to him. She kept talking and Su Jinzhou listened quietly beside her, sometimes pouring tea for the master and disciple, and sometimes bringing them fruit snacks.

Jitang stayed at Ganri Peak until very late, and when he left, he could no longer see many disciples along the way.

They returned to Qianli Yanbo. Gu Yan, who had been waiting there for a long time, noticed the movement of the mountain-protecting jade and took the lead to greet the two of them.

"Brother, Master..." He quickly changed the address, "Shui, Shui Shen."

Su Jinzhou saw him looking back, responded, and turned to look behind Gu Yan.

After a while, a man came flying over from behind on a sword.

Jitang had some impression of this woman. She was a disciple of Yuxiu Sect. She was introduced to Suxuan Sect by Tanwen during the Spring Flower Banquet and was given a light purple jade token.

The reason why she remembered her was because of the jade token. The fragrance of the jade token was somewhat special and had the effect of bewitching people's minds, so she remembered the name of this disciple, Cui Ranmei.

Cui Ranmei's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

She stood on the rapier and bowed to Su Jinzhou from afar: "Immortal Lord, please save my master!"

Su Jinzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her, "This is not a clinic, you've come to the wrong place."

Cui Ranmei shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Immortal Lord, my master hasn't woken up yet because she's trying to help you. Please save her!"

Su Jinzhou's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his voice became much deeper. "Is your master Luo Chanzhi?"

Cui Ranmei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

Su Jinzhou's expression became even colder, "It's her own fault. I'm showing mercy by not taking her life." He glanced at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan straightened his back immediately and said hurriedly, "I'll take her away right away!"

Cui Ranmei couldn't help herself anymore and cried, "What do you mean by this, Immortal Venerable? My master tried his best to help you, but you don't care about her life or death. Her life may not be worth mentioning in your eyes, but please, Immortal Venerable, remember that my master is sincere in helping you...ah——"

Before she could finish her words, she was thrown out of Qianli Yanbo's protective shield by a spiritual force.

"Help me?" Su Jinzhou's jaw tightened. "Your Yuxiu Sect knows exactly what that Changhuan Shengfu Talisman is. Tell your Sect Master that if she can't manage the elders, I don't mind getting my hands dirty."

Cui Ranmei was nearly knocked off the flying sword, her body lying awkwardly across the sword, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

She trembled and hugged the flying sword, thus avoiding being smashed to pieces. Her eyes were full of fear and timidity, and she dared not make a sound.

Ji Tang immediately figured out the reason. She and her senior brother flew back to the cave, "What did Luo Chanzhi do to the Changhuanxiangshengfu?"

Su Jinzhou thought of Luo Chanzhi who had transformed into Jitang, and his face became gloomy.

Even if she had the same appearance as Jitang, she would never be able to become Jitang.

The moment he saw her in his dream, he shattered the dream that made him sick.

The inner demon took advantage of his emotional outburst and threatened to suppress his consciousness and take over. Su Jinzhou took some effort to throw the rampaging inner demon back into the depths.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ji Tang said, "I heard that the Yuxiu Sect is good at illusions, and Elder Luo Chanzhi is good at using charm. I think he used some tricks on the talismans, but chose the wrong target."

Su Jinzhou's expression finally softened, "It's not something worth talking about."

He got down to business, "You can live in my cave and tell me if you need anything."

Ji Tang raised an eyebrow, "Then where does Senior Brother live?"

He pointed to the magic cave next to him and said, "I live there. There's a bed in there too."

Ji Tang complained, "Yes, that bed is comfortable to sleep on."

Su Jinzhou: "..."

Ji Tang leaned over and asked, "So, Senior Brother has always been thinking about me..." As she wished, she saw Su Jinzhou's expression becoming more and more vivid, and the curve of his lips couldn't disappear. She then said, "The bed."

It was really fun to tease her senior brother, and she felt that she would never get tired of it.

She walked slowly into Su Jinzhou's cave, "Then I'll go and rest. Brother, you should rest early too."

Su Jinzhou looked at her back. She waved her hand slightly. Entering his cave was like entering her own cave. She didn't seem to be shy at all.

Her natural movements made Su Jinzhou happy, and he felt that he could have a good dream tonight.
