Hearing this voice, Fang Chaozhou was stunned at first, then he turned around to look at the benefactor who saved his life.

The man was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Tianshui Sect. Because he was wearing a veil, Fang Chaozhou couldn't see his face clearly, but he recognized him.

It’s Xue Danrong.

"Master should be in the preserved fruit shop at the end of the street." Fang Chaozhou pointed over there, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Can you take me there?"

It seemed that he couldn't make his way through the crowd on his own.

However, Xue Danrong did not say anything when he heard this. Fang Chaozhou felt that his eyes seemed to be on his face, and he could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xue Danrong turned his head away and said in a cold tone: "Nothing, I'll take you there now."

Xue Danrong, who had lost his memory, returned to his original appearance when he talked to him.

Xue Danrong did not walk along the street below, but flew directly over the roof. When he reached the end of the street, he jumped down holding Fang Chaozhou.

After landing, he put the person in his arms down, and then called the man not far away "Master".

When Fang Chaozhou heard the word "Master", he couldn't help but look forward and saw Zhongli Yueshui.

Zhongli Yueshui was standing at the door of the preserved fruit shop at this time. When he saw Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong together, there was some fluctuation in his eyes.

"Dan Rong, why are you here?" Zhongli Yueshui asked in a deep voice.

As he spoke, Fang Chaozhou ran up to his side.

His physical body was young, and his legs were unstable when he ran, as if he would fall at any time. The unstable bun on his head was shaking even more.

Xue Danrong's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to him. He withdrew his gaze only when Fang Chaozhou hid behind Zhongli Yueshui's legs and was almost out of sight.

"Replying to Master, I went down the mountain to buy a sword stand for the Broken Water Sword."

The tone Xue Danrong used when speaking to Zhongli Yueshui was obviously better than when he spoke to Fang Chaozhou just now; at least it was not as cold.

"I have quite a few sword racks that are barely acceptable. You can come to Huali Mountain this afternoon to pick one." Zhongli Yueshui glanced around. "There are many people down the mountain. Your evil spirit has not been completely expelled. You should stay down the mountain less and stay in Zhichunzhou to practice more."

"Yes." Xue Danrong bowed and turned to leave.

After the young man walked away, Zhongli Yueshui turned around and looked down at Fang Chaozhou who had just hidden behind him.

Fang Chaozhou noticed that Zhongli Yueshui was looking at him, and raised his head with an innocent look in his eyes, "Grandmaster, I just bumped into Junior Brother by accident. Because I fell down, he helped me up... and then sent me to Grandmaster." He paused and lowered his head again, "Grandmaster's legs are too long, I can't keep up."

Fang Chaozhou hesitated for a moment between "help it up" and "pick it up", and decided that "help it up" sounded better.

“Pick it up” sounds weird, although it’s more true.

Zhongli Yueshui frowned slightly when he heard Fang Chaozhou's words. When his frown loosened, he turned his eyes and looked at the shop next to him. "Aren't you going to buy some fruit? We are here, let's go in."

Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhongli Yueshui was not going to punish him. After entering the door, he went straight to the counter where the spiritual rice dumplings were placed. The counter was a little high and he couldn't see even when he stood on tiptoe. Fortunately, the proprietress saw him come in and walked behind the counter.

"Little boy, what do you want to buy?"

Perhaps because she was talking to a child, the proprietress's tone was much gentler than usual, and she even looked at Fang Chaozhou with curved eyes.

"Boss, is this the Lingzong fruit?" Fang Chaozhou couldn't see it, so he could only point at the counter with his hand.

The proprietress nodded, "Yes, do you want to buy it? Do you have money?"

Fang Chaozhou nodded, "I brought it. I want to buy... two kilograms, no, three kilograms."

When he said three catties, he secretly looked back at Zhongli Yueshui. Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he turned back and repeated, "Yes, I want to buy three catties."

"Okay, I'll help you install it." The proprietress smiled and stretched out her hand towards Fang Chaozhou's face. She loves children the most, especially those who look pretty. Whenever customers bring their children over, she can't help but pinch their little faces.

But this time she missed.

The little guy who wanted to be pinched was grabbed by the man behind him.

She was stunned for a moment, then cried out, "My dear, you are so handsome, why are you so stingy? I just saw that your child is cute and wanted to pinch his face."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Yueshui's brows furrowed so much that they could almost pinch a mosquito to death. Fang Chaozhou secretly looked at him, and seeing that he was obviously unhappy, he immediately reached out and tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Master, don't be angry, don't be angry, we'll go back after we finish the shopping."

His tone was like coaxing a child.

Zhongli Yueshui glanced at him, pulled out his sleeve that was grabbed, and turned away. When the proprietress saw this, she smiled and asked the waiter to come over and pack the fruits.

After packing the fruits, the proprietress looked at Fang Chaozhou, "Are you only buying this kind? We also got some fresh samara this time. Do you want to buy some to try? There are not many samara fruits, and they are sold out in a short time."

Although Fang Chaozhou wanted to buy it, Zhongli Yueshui seemed to have meant not to let him buy anything else, so he shook his head and said, "No, I won't buy anything else."

Zhongli Yueshui next to him suddenly asked, "How long can these three pounds last?"

When Fang Chaozhou heard what he said, he was afraid that the other party thought he had bought too much, so he quickly said, "It won't take long." After that, he gave the proprietress a look, asking her to help him pay the bill quickly.

The proprietress understood what she meant, and while handing the wrapped fruit to Fang Chaozhou, she said, "How long can the fruit last? If you eat three a day, they will be eaten very quickly." She quoted a price.

Fang Chaozhou quickly took out the money and handed it over, "No need for change." Then he said to Zhongli Yueshui beside him, "Master, we can go back now."

Zhongli Yueshui glanced at the silver that Fang Chaozhou handed over and frowned. Then he took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it on the counter. "Take this knot."

The proprietress glanced at the jade pendant and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We only accept silver or spirit stones here. We don't accept anything else."

Fang Chaozhou immediately walked over and took the jade pendant back, "Grandmaster, let's go back quickly so as not to delay Junior Brother's exorcism this afternoon."

As he said this, he handed the jade pendant to Zhongli Yueshui.

Zhongli Yueshui looked at the jade pendant in Fang Chaozhou's hand, and after a moment, Fang said, "You keep the jade pendant."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Seeing him walking so fast again, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but shout, "Master, wait for me!"

He chased for a few steps and finally caught up with Zhongli Yueshui. Fearing that he would be thrown off again, Fang Chaozhou reached out and grabbed Zhongli Yueshui's hanging sleeve this time.

However, although he caught up with Zhongli Yueshui, there were still many people on the street, and he was always squeezed. It would have been fine if he was squeezed, but because he was short, he was hit on the head by a monk's sword.

The blow was quite strong, with a loud "bang" that caused Fang Chaozhou to cover his head immediately in pain. However, he did not dare to stop, for fear that if he stopped, he would not be able to catch up with Zhongli Yueshui.

But at this moment, he found that the people around him seemed to be frozen and could not move.

Just when Fang Chaozhou was a little stunned, he heard Zhongli Yueshui's voice, "Did you beat up my disciple?"

Fang Chaozhou looked up in surprise and saw Zhongli Yueshui staring at a man not far away.

The man was probably a casual cultivator. When he saw that everyone around him was motionless and heard Zhongli Yueshui's voice, he quickly turned around. In a moment, he had already figured out the difference between him and Zhongli Yueshui, "I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

Zhongli Yueshui glanced at the sword in the man's hand and said, "Since there are so many people here, you shouldn't hold the sword like this. Besides, I'm not the one you should apologize to."

The man forced a smile and looked at Fang Chaozhou who was still covering his head. "I'm sorry, little boy. Did I hurt you just now? Do you want to eat chestnuts? I just bought a bag. I'll give it to you."

He handed the oil paper bag in his hand to Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou shook his head, "No, I'm fine."

When the man heard this, he looked at Zhongli Yueshui with a cautious look. Zhongli Yueshui didn't say anything else. He bent down and picked up Fang Chaozhou. The moment he turned around, the flow of people returned to normal.

After returning to Huali Mountain, Zhongli Yueshui put the person down and went into meditation to practice. It was almost noon when he opened his eyes. In the morning Fang Chaozhou usually only eats the fasting pills and has lunch at noon.

"Tubai." Zhongli Yueshui called Tubai, preparing to ask him to catch fish.

But no one called over.

He frowned, stood up and walked out of the compartment, only to see Tu Bai running towards him, but Tu Bai was meowing as he ran, and looked back into the room from time to time. Zhongli Yueshui's eyes changed slightly, and then he quickened his pace and walked into the inner room. He saw Fang Chaozhou with unusually rosy cheeks sitting on the couch.

Xue Danrong sat cross-legged in Zhongli Yueshui's compartment as usual, but before closing his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the child sleeping on his master's lap.

Since he came in, the other person has been sleeping on Zhongli Yueshui.

Zhongli Yueshui noticed Xue Danrong's gaze and his face froze, but he did not take the initiative to explain the matter. He just said to Xue Danrong: "Close your eyes."

"Yes." Xue Danrong closed his eyes.

Zhongli Yueshui started to expel the evil spirit from the person only after he saw him close his eyes. However, he had to free one hand to do other things today. Fang Chaozhou caught a cold, probably because he caught a cold when he went down the mountain and returned to Huali Mountain. Magic elixirs are useless against the puppet. The only one who can truly cure the puppet's disease is the puppet's owner, that is, the person who sealed the person into the puppet.

The closer the puppet is to its owner, the faster the disease will heal.

Therefore, Zhongli Yueshui had to hold Fang Chaozhou in his arms, and even when he was exorcising Xue Danrong, he had to put him on his lap.

The younger the puppet is, the more fragile it is. A cold can take its life, and the person sealed in the puppet will disappear from this world.

But Fang Chaozhou seemed to feel that Zhongli Yueshui's legs were lying very uncomfortable, so he kept moving around unconsciously and kicked the quilt covering his body. With one of his kicks, he kicked Xue Danrong.

Xue Danrong's eyelashes trembled slightly.

However, soon, he was kicked again.

The kick was so powerful that Xue Danrong couldn't help but open his eyes. He looked at Zhongli Yueshui, who was frowning and trying to control the child on his lap, and said softly, "Grandmaster, how about we just forget about it today?"

Zhongli Yueshui refused immediately, "No, we must continue to exorcise the evil spirit." He stuffed Fang Chaozhou's leg, which had been kicked out again, back into the quilt. If this guy wasn't sick, he would have used a spell to immobilize him.

But he stuffed his feet back in, stretched his hands out again, and kept rolling around.

Zhongli Yueshui couldn't help but show fatigue between his brows. He closed his eyes and carried Fang Chaozhou to the ground beside him. Although it's not as close as putting it on your legs, it should be fine.

After putting Fang Chaozhou away, Zhongli Yueshui said to Xue Danrong, "Okay, it's OK now."

"Yes, Master." Xue Danrong closed his eyes again.

But not long after, Xue Danrong felt something against his leg.

Soft and still steaming.

Tubai usually wouldn't go in to disturb when the evil spirit was being exorcised, but today, thinking that Fang Chaozhou was here, after standing outside for a long time, it couldn't help but sneak in. But as soon as it entered, its ferocious appearance was revealed, and it instantly turned into a tiger, roaring at Xue Danrong.

He bared his teeth and even had murderous intent in his eyes.

This roar made Zhongli Yueshui open his eyes.

While he was scolding Tu Bai in a low voice, he saw Fang Chaozhou sleeping soundly next to Xue Danrong.

Fang Chaozhou used the quilt to roll himself up like a sticky rice roll, with his face pressed tightly against Xue Danrong's legs. Most of his face was covered by the wide snow-satin sleeves hanging down from the other party, leaving only half of his face exposed. His clenched fist was still holding a corner of Xue Danrong's clothes.
