“…It hurts.”

"I'm sorry, but you wouldn't have reacted otherwise. I've already shocked you three times. I thought you were dead..."

"Am I not dead?"

…

The voices of the conversation were sometimes far away and sometimes near, making it difficult to hear clearly.

But Gu Xingyun could still recognize that one of the voices was his master's voice.

He tried to break free from the darkness, but no matter how hard he tried, it was of no use.

Unable to feel the existence of his body and unable to use his spiritual power, he could only continue to listen quietly to that strange conversation.

The strange sound seemed to explode in his head. After a long period of tinnitus, there was a hissing sound.

A fragmented conversation ensued.

"...They're all integrated, right?...For compensation, please don't...report me. If you don't say anything, I'll just...accept it~"

In the endless darkness, Gu Xingyun heard Yan Huailiu's sigh and that all-too-familiar tone.

"Why are you so unreasonable..."

It was very similar to the tone he used when he was helpless because of the trouble he had made. Gu Xingyun inexplicably had the urge to cry.

In the darkness, a small golden light appeared. Before Gu Xingyun could react, his consciousness was sucked away.

When my vision became clear again, the person standing in front of me was my childhood self.

"Why is it so small?"

The sound seemed to come from within his body. Gu Xingyun wanted to check, but he couldn't move.

"He was this small when he first became my disciple, host. Do you remember this part? You're starting to dislike him~"

"...I don't dislike him, he just looks dirty... Never mind, just consider it dislike."

Amidst this conversation, Gu Xingyun suddenly realized that he seemed to have been brought into his memory by his master's soul.

Whose voice was that talking to his master?

His head was full of questions, but no one could answer them. He could only maintain the status quo and relive what had happened like a pendant.

Looking back at my childhood self from an outsider's perspective, I can understand how his master felt back then.

He didn't even have time to change his clothes, his face was covered in black and white spots, and his neck wasn't even washed.

It's only right that he's disliked. Only his master thinks he's cute.

"Host, you are really good at acting like a spoiled child~"

An unfamiliar voice interrupted Gu Xingyun's thoughts. He turned around and saw the master in his memory shaking Jade Purity Zhenren's arm and puffing his cheeks to express his dissatisfaction.

"Oh, you." Yan Huailiu's voice was a little annoyed, "Don't talk, or I will give you a bad review."

——I don’t like to get along with stupid people, Master knows that!

——You, when can you change your temper? He is not stupid... Oh, set up a barrier, don’t let the child hear this, he will be sad!

Gu Xingyun moved closer, and the words that he had not heard in his childhood finally reached his ears this time.

——But he looks like Master picked him up from a stinking ditch! I don't want this disciple, I don't want him! People will laugh at me if I take him out.

Gu Xingyun: ...It seems that it is not necessary to listen to it. Is it really that dirty?

He looked back at his childhood self, who was staring at the two people talking with a dazed look on his face. When he raised his hand to rub his eyes, another line appeared on his face.

It is indeed very dirty, not to mention the master, he also despises it.

—Just wash it and it will be clean. Oh, how could your master lie to you? This child is so smart. After washing it and changing into our sect's clothes, it looks exactly like you when you were a child. It's so cute. Really, believe me.

The kind old man coaxed Yan Huailiu like he was coaxing a child.

"How many times have you lied to me? Last time, I told you to stay home and not meddle in other sects' affairs. I was going to survive the thunder tribulation, and you disappeared again! You don't care about me at all, and you only care about taking that kid Baili out."

In my memory, Yan Huailiu was particularly resentful.

Jade Purity Master took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"Who said that? I brought you a gift, didn't I? It's unique, none of your junior brothers have it, and it also includes your favorite snacks. Come and grab them."

Yan Huailiu's temper came and went quickly, and he was coaxed into submission just like that.

——Humph! Don't think I will take in that little beggar just like that.

Jade Purity Immortal glared at him.

—Don't give children nicknames! I've already told you, once it's clean it's a new baby, extra adorable. I've already agreed with him to become your disciple, he's already kowtowed to you. If you refuse, wouldn't that make me, the teacher, unfaithful?

Yan Huailiu tilted his head and looked at little Gu Xi, responding with dissatisfaction.

——Okay, don’t show up in front of me until he’s clean!

He pretended to be angry and turned away with a pile of gifts, but with a smile on his face.

Gu Xingyun wanted to follow the master in his memory, but he uncontrollably approached his childhood self.

I watched helplessly as Jade Purity Immortal picked me up again and coaxed me to take a shower and change clothes.

Scene change.

The one who appeared again was little Gu Xi, who had been washed and changed into clothes.

Jade Purity Immortal held him and sat down, then used his spiritual power to transform a puppy into something that jumped onto little Gu Xi's head. After jumping around twice, it dried his wet hair.

Little Gu Xi widened her eyes in surprise.

Isn't it amazing? Your master loved this when he was little, but he wouldn't let the little dog jump on his head. Well, let him teach you later.

Little Gu Xi nodded repeatedly, then asked with a wrinkled face after a moment.

——Master, do you dislike me?

"no."
