Fang Chaozhou squeezed into the crowd with great difficulty, and it was only because many outer disciples in the crowd recognized him and made way for him. As soon as he squeezed in, he saw Xue Danrong sitting behind the desk.

Xue Danrong was dressed in the uniform of a Tianshui Sect disciple, looking as elegant as the clear moon and fresh breeze, and as graceful as an orchid. Although he was surrounded by the crowd, everyone kept a distance from him and no one dared to get too close. When he saw Fang Chaozhou suddenly arriving, his eyes, which had been cold just now, suddenly brightened up. He suddenly stood up and walked towards Fang Chaozhou.

"Brother."

Fang Chaozhou did not hold the hand that Xue Danrong extended to him. After all, there were so many people here. He walked to the seat behind the table first. "You really helped me select disciples. I was just joking with you yesterday. This job is tiring to begin with. Now that you are here, these fellow disciples will all want to seek your guidance. I am afraid that we won't be able to finish it until sunrise the next day."

Xue Danrong said: "But Senior Brother was very tired yesterday."

"It's okay. I've had enough sleep. You go back and I'll take care of this." Fang Chaozhou sat down on the chair, looked at the crowd in front of him, then looked at the name on the registration book and called the next one.

When he finished reviewing the qualifications of a junior sister, he found Xue Danrong still beside him. He thought for a moment and whispered to the other party, "I want to eat something delicious today to celebrate your return. Can you help me buy some?"

Xue Danrong's eyes moved and he nodded, "Okay."

Fang Chaozhou finally sent those people away. After Xue Danrong left, there were not so many people in front of him, and many of them dispersed. Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, but he thought it was normal.

Who wouldn’t want to see the most beautiful woman in the world up close?

Before, when Xue Danrong merged with the devil, his whole aura made people feel cold, so at that time in the school, no disciple dared to act rashly, and they didn't even dare to look at Xue Danrong for more than a few seconds. Now Xue Danrong has recovered and has become a handsome little junior brother again. Although he still keeps people at a distance, his temperament has changed, so people dare to look at him now.

Fang Chaozhou chose to stay until the afternoon, when Xue Danrong came by and wanted to take Fang Chaozhou back to rest. However, Fang Chaozhou saw that once Xue Danrong came, the crowd seemed to be trying to squeeze in again, so he forcibly drove him away.

When the day's selection was over, Fang Chaozhou was exhausted. In order to train the disciples' physical fitness, the Tianshui Sect did not allow their disciples to fly with swords in the sect. He dragged his tired body and walked back slowly. Not long after, he saw someone standing under the tree.

It’s Xue Danrong.

Xue Danrong came to pick him up.

When Fang Chaozhou saw Xue Danrong, he leaned on him without any psychological burden, "I'm so tired, how can there be something more tiring than practicing?"

Xue Danrong reached out to support Fang Chaozhou. He saw the tiredness on Fang Chaozhou's face and said, "I will carry you back."

Fang Chaozhou shook his head without thinking, "No, I'm so heavy, and what if someone sees me?"

"I used the invisibility technique, so no one could see me. Besides, don't I know whether my brother is seriously injured or not?" Xue Danrong squatted in front of Fang Chaozhou, "Brother, come up."

Fang Chaozhou stared at Xue Danrong's back for a while, then climbed up.

The night wind blew on his body, cool and comfortable. Fang Chaozhou leaned his face on Xue Danrong's shoulder, and his nose was filled with the faint cold fragrance of the other person. He gradually became sleepy and then fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

When he woke up again, he felt warm and comfortable. His eyes fell on a white figure and he couldn't help but call out "Junior Brother".

Xue Danrong raised his eyes and saw Fang Chaozhou open his eyes. He reached out and touched his face, "Did you get enough sleep?"

Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes, then opened them again. He looked at himself and found himself stripped naked and soaking in the bathtub. His chaotic sleepiness was instantly swept away. He looked at Xue Danrong who was still bathing him, and said stiffly, "Junior brother, I...I'll wash myself."

Xue Danrong kept moving, "Brother, you are tired today, let me help you."

This was not the first time that Fang Chaozhou had been helped to take a bath by Xue Danrong. He had done it once a few years ago, but his mood at that time was somewhat different from now. At that time, he just wanted Xue Danrong to prevent Song Lianyi from being discovered, but now that their relationship had been exposed, everything became even more ambiguous.

Fang Chaozhou gritted his teeth and decided to endure the shame, but the shame continued to grow. Later on, Fang Chaozhou could hardly raise his head, but it was not right to lower his head either.

He crossed his legs and said hesitantly, "Junior...brother, you go first... um!"

When Fang Chaozhou came out of the bathroom, he walked a little unsteadily. If Xue Danrong hadn't held him back, he would have bumped into the red pillars in the corridor.

"How about I carry you back to your room?"

Xue Danrong's proposal was immediately rejected by Fang Chaozhou, "No, I'll walk back by myself."

He was too embarrassed to look at Xue Danrong now, especially his hands and lips. The last time he was treated like this was when he was drunk in Zhichunzhou. But this time he was completely sober, and the feeling just now seemed to still remain.

And it was really embarrassing for him compared with Xue Danrong's time.

When Fang Chaozhou thought of this, he felt like crying. It was okay for him to be suppressed by the opponent, but he couldn't even win against time.

Wait, it seems that size has also lost.

He was supposed to be the one who received the original novel's criticism. Could it be that he was lying to him?

Fang Chaozhou felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. But the blow instantly subsided when he saw the table full of food.

He turned around and looked at Xue Danrong, "Did you do all this?"

"Well, but it's cold. Brother, go to bed first. I'll go clean up here." Xue Danrong walked to the table, but before he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, someone rushed to the table and sat down.

"It's so hot now, wouldn't it be refreshing to eat something cold?" Fang Chaozhou said as he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a handful of food into his mouth. Before putting it in, he was actually mentally prepared. After all, Xue Danrong's skill in making longevity noodles last time was still in his mind. But after taking a bite, he was stunned.

Although it’s not particularly delicious, it’s definitely eatable.

Has Xue Danrong’s cooking skills improved so quickly?

Just as Fang Chaozhou was about to pick up the second dish to try again, his wrist was grabbed.

Xue Danrong frowned slightly, "Don't eat anymore, it's not good for your health, go back to bed and sleep." He took the chopsticks from Fang Chaozhou's hand, and finally, raised his hand and touched Fang Chaozhou's head, "If you like it, I'll do it again later."

Seeing Xue Danrong's firm attitude, Fang Chaozhou had to give up. However, he still felt very sorry. If he hadn't fallen asleep, he wouldn't have let Xue Danrong down. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to prepare such a large table of dishes. Fang Chaozhou did not go back to bed to sleep, but helped to collect the dishes. After they were done, he suddenly remembered something and pulled Xue Danrong to the room next to the dormitory.

"Here, look at this."

Xue Danrong looked at the red tablet placed on the high platform, and his eyes changed a little, especially when he saw the words on the tablet. In the middle of the tablet was Zhongli Yueshui's name followed by the four characters "长生表位", and on the left and right were written:

"May the master ascend to heaven soon"

"I wish you all the best"

Every word is golden.

"How about this longevity tablet? I made it specially for you. The words are written with gold powder, and the wood is the best wood for tablets." Fang Chaozhou's tone seemed to be asking for praise.

Xue Danrong frowned and said nothing. Seeing this, Fang Chaozhou gently pulled Xue Danrong over and led them to the front of the tablet. "Since you don't say anything, I will assume that you think I did a good job. Well, we haven't burned incense for our master yet, let's do it together."

He picked up the incense on the table, lit it, and forced three sticks into Xue Danrong's mouth. He bowed first and put the incense into the incense burner. Longevity tablets are very popular in this world. Many people will set up a longevity tablet for their benefactors in their homes. For cultivators, longevity tablets are also a very important thing.

The more people worship them, the more blessings and luck they will have, and it will be easier for them to survive the thunder tribulation. Therefore, some monks are very willing to help others so that people can set up an immortality tablet for them. Logically speaking, the date of birth should be written behind the longevity tablet to avoid the heavens making a mistake in naming the person. However, Fang Chaozhou couldn't get Zhongli Yueshui's date of birth, and his master Cheng Hongyi didn't know either.

After Fang Chaozhou finished his greeting, he saw Xue Danrong still frozen in place, so he couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow, "Don't be stunned, hurry up."

Xue Danrong pursed his lips and stared at the longevity tablet above.

Fang Chaozhou actually understood that Xue Danrong was in a stalemate. Although the evil spirit had been cleared, the incident had already happened and there was still a knot in his heart. But he not only hopes that Zhongli Yueshui can let go of this knot in his heart, he also hopes that Xue Danrong can let it go.

He thought about it, said "I'll wait for you outside", and went out first, leaving time and space for Xue Danrong.

Fang Chaozhou went out and walked to the lake in the promenade. There was a koi in the lake, but usually it was like a dragon that you could only see its head but not its tail, so Fang Chaozhou couldn't see it even when he was feeding the fish. He sat on the beauty's backrest, took out the newly bought fish food from the storage ring, and sprinkled it tentatively.

The lake was motionless, and no fish came looking for food.

Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but shook his head and looked up at the night sky. The night was dotted with stars and the late spring night was quiet and cool. He had been in this world for so long without realizing it, so long that he seemed to have completely integrated into this world.

He forgot about air conditioning, mobile phones and all the interesting and complicated things in modern times, and got used to this world without the Internet and intelligence. When Fang Chaozhou first entered the book, he thought it was a dream. After being depressed for half a year, he realized that he was not dreaming. But at that time, he had no feelings for this world.

Because he thinks it is a book, just like he is playing a holographic online game, and the people he knows are just NPCs in the game. But gradually, he realizes that these people are not NPCs, they will not follow the plot exactly as written in the book, they have their own joys and sorrows, and are not confined to a box.

Fang Chaozhou had never thought of finding a partner here, let alone thought that this person would be Xue Danrong, but since he was attracted to her and she liked him, he didn't want to hide anymore.

Sometimes being honest can make you feel better.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Fang Chaozhou turned around and stretched out his hand.

The hand was quickly grasped.

"Have you finished paying your respects?" Fang Chaozhou asked.

Xue Danrong hummed.

Fang Chaozhou curled the corners of his lips and couldn't help thinking, if this was a book, the plot would almost end here. Fairy tales about princes and princesses often only write about the marriage and never about what happens after the marriage.

"Junior brother, let's become Taoist companions." He looked up at the beautiful woman in snow-white clothes who was standing there.

Fang Chaozhou's question was not a question, because he didn't think the other party would reject him at all. But after Xue Danrong's answer came out, Fang Chaozhou's face darkened.

"Brother, I think it's too early to talk about forming a Taoist couple."
