"What are you doing?" Mochuan asked.
Lin Wu, who was wandering in the sky, came back to his senses, sat up straight, and turned his head to look over.
Mochuan came out wearing a loose Tibetan robe, his long, silky hair casually scattered behind him, and he wore a mask on his face that was similar to the one worn by the Lord of the Four Ridges.
Finally, Lin Wu looked a little familiar.
"Master, are you okay?"
Mo Chuan looked at her indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he said "hmm".
Lin Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked to him, saying, "Master, I'm hungry."
Mo Chuan was stunned, with some doubt in his eyes.
"so what?"
"So Master, please make me something to eat. Anything will do. I'm not picky now."
Lin Wu wondered to himself whether the food in the illusion was edible.
Never mind, if she doesn’t eat, she will starve to death.
Mo Chuan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he didn't quite believe what he heard: "You said...I should do it for you?"
"Yeah, could it be me?" Lin Wu spread his hands, "Master, if I do it, you will regret it. Because I don't know how to do it at all, and I might even burn down the kitchen."
Mo Chuan: “…”
Mo Chuan walked around Lin Wu and left, leaving a few words.
"Neither can I."
"As you please."
Lin Wu followed him and asked in confusion: "Master, are you saying you can't cook?"
"Um."
"But you are not..."
Lin Wu wanted to say that he was obviously a very good cook, but he stopped short.
Maybe Mochuan still doesn’t know how to do that now.
What should she do now? Lin Wu thought again and again, and could only say: "Master, where can I get food?" She had to bite the bullet and do it herself.
"No."
Mochuan walked out of the yard and said coldly.
Lin Wu was a little puzzled, "Master, you have escaped from the six realms, so you don't need to eat anymore?"
"No."
"Then why don't you eat..."
Lin Wu suddenly had an outrageous idea, "Master, you don't want to starve yourself to death, do you?"
Mochuan said nothing and just walked forward.
In the darkness of the night, Lin Wu could see more clearly and discovered that Mo Chuan was walking towards the altar.
She became suspicious and followed him even more closely.
Mochuan didn't care about her and finally reached the altar.
Seeing the mess on the altar, Mo Chuan paused and looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu immediately looked away, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Mochuan stood there for a moment, then turned and walked towards the village.
None of the dozens of houses had their lights on. Perhaps they had gone to bed long ago, but Mochuan didn't care. He knocked on the door when he arrived. After waiting for a while and seeing no response, he went to the next house.
Lin Wu vaguely understood something and quickly stood in front of Mo Chuan.
"Are you planning to find another villager to continue what you didn't finish during the day?!"
Mo Chuan had to stop, and looked at Lin Wu with calm black eyes, without saying a word or reacting.
But Lin Wu had already understood, he really wanted to continue! Lin Wu couldn't understand: "Why? Si Lingzhu said that you clearly have a way to untie the blood binding, so why didn't you follow Si Lingzhu? Why did you let the villagers do that?!"
"It's none of your business."
Mo Chuan said calmly, and walked around her to leave.
Lin Wu turned around suddenly and said, "I beat them up several times during the day. If they do it again, I will beat them up again until they die. If they are not afraid of death, they can give it a try!"
Mochuan stopped immediately.
After a moment, he turned around and looked at Lin Wu with a frown.
After a long while, Mo Chuan said calmly: "No one does not yearn for immortality. I have seen many people like you who want to be different from others, gain my trust, and then take advantage of my unpreparedness to obtain a more stable immortality."
"I'm not them, and I haven't thought about it that way!" Lin Wu rushed forward, "So, because you've seen and experienced so much, you've become numb and used to it, and you think life is meaningless, so you give up on yourself and let others do it, thinking that your death is all in vain?!"
There was no emotion in Mochuan's eyes.
Lin Wu took a deep breath and said, "Master, you can't do this."
"It's the fault of others to have evil thoughts, not the fault of someone like you who possesses a magical treasure. You deserve to live a good life, so you can't just give up on yourself, or even not cherish your body, and allow all kinds of harm to be done to your flesh and blood until the day you can't bear it anymore - this is wrong!"
"Master," she stepped forward, "untie your blood bindings and go with the Four Ridge Masters. This is not the place for you to be."
Mo Chuan looked at her calmly, and then said, "You said you are different from them, but you came for me, and you even wanted my heart."
Lin Wu was stunned.
Mochuan turned around and continued walking forward.
"I heard everything you said to that man."
"You asked if my heart was still there."
"The seven-aperture exquisite heart of the Baimin people has the greatest special function, but unless the owner is willing, outsiders will not only be unable to use it, but will also suffer backlash and divine punishment."
"I can tell you right now that I won't give it to you. You don't have to waste your energy anymore. Let's go."
Lin Wu was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Mo Chuan walking further and further away, Lin Wu chased after him and said, "Master, it's not what you think!"
Mochuan didn't even stop.
Lin Wu shouted in a hurry: "Mochuan!"
The man paused.
Lin Wu reacted quickly and said, "Master, I was just calling your name, I didn't mean anything else!"
The man only paused for a few seconds and then continued walking.
Lin Wu had a severe headache and said, "My disciple is really not afraid of death and does not want to live forever, otherwise, I would not let myself die prematurely!"
The man finally stopped.
Lin Wu walked quickly to him and said, "Master, if you don't believe me, you can go back and ask the Four Ridge Master to calculate my fate. I almost died once. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't have survived. Even if I survived, I was destined to die young. If I was really like those people, why would I die in vain?"
Mochuan looked at her.
After a long while, he said lightly, "Oh," and continued walking.
"? No, why are you still looking for..." Lin Wu was a little angry. She had already said this! "Shut up, I won't look for those villagers anymore."
Mochuan interrupted her.
Lin Wu looked at him suspiciously until he followed him to a dilapidated and simple house at the end of the village. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Mochuan stopped at the door and looked inside through the low door.
When Lin Wu was confused, he heard Mo Chuan say, "I was raised by someone who lived here before."
Lin Wu looked at him in surprise.
"He was an old grandfather, different from the others. He never eaten my flesh and blood. He also tried his best to persuade others to protect me and tried his best to give me the best life." Mochuan said.
Lin Wu was surprised: "Then he is pretty good..."
"But when I was an adult, he drugged me and tried to rip my heart out."
The forest fog stopped abruptly.
"He begged me to give him my heart willingly for the sake of our past friendship."
"I didn't agree to his promise, so he changed into a different person and started to curse me, saying that I was an ungrateful person and that he just wanted to survive. Why couldn't I repay him?"
Mo Chuan looked at the increasingly dilapidated courtyard and said calmly, "Actually, if he told me directly and honestly, I would give it to him. Why didn't he just say he wanted to eat?"
"You're right, life is indeed boring. From then on, I will give it to everyone who asks me."
Lin Wu looked at him in a daze.
The next moment, she suddenly reached out, grabbed his arm, and pulled him in front of her.
Mo Chuan staggered and when he looked up he met Lin Wu's gaze.
"Master, things are different now."
"You don't need to care about others. The most important thing is to care about and love yourself. Don't make a habit of hurting or giving up on yourself easily, and don't take any injuries lightly."
This was what he warned her when she and Mochuan met for the first time.
