The next day, at daybreak, Hei Jue had just come out of Yayuan and before he could go to Hongyu's residence, he saw a blue-gray figure coming up the mountain path from afar.
He looked carefully, and the face reflected in his eye sockets suddenly became clear. Who else could it be but Xiang Sheng?
Hei Jue's expression froze slightly. He had just said it casually yesterday and didn't really think Xiang Sheng could survive. He didn't expect that this little girl was so lucky.
He immediately turned back and came to Lu Yushan's room. Before he could say anything, he felt a flash before his eyes and saw another person in front of him. It was Lu Yushan.
He quickly bowed his head and saluted, "Master, to..."
"You are such a bad mouth. Good things don't work, but bad things do."
Lu Yushan smiled gently and waved his hand casually: "Forget it, you can go down. I am the one in charge today, and nothing will happen."
"It turns out it's the young master in person."
Hei Jue's face lit up with joy, "Then I'm relieved."
After saying this, Hei Jue bowed and left immediately.
Soon, Xiang Sheng arrived at the gate of Yayuan.
She looked around but didn't see any servants. She was about to knock on the door when she heard a voice: "Come right in."
It’s Lu Yushan.
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed and he pushed the door open and went in.
Yayuan was small and exquisite, with a quiet atmosphere everywhere. Xiang Sheng walked along the entrance corridor into the front hall and saw Lu Yushan standing alone by the window, his hands behind his back, gazing at the rising sun in the distance.
As if hearing some noise, Lu Yushan turned around and saw Xiang Sheng, and immediately smiled: "Junior Sister Xiang is here. You look pale, it seems you are seriously injured."
Xiang Sheng pursed her lips slightly. "Since Senior Brother Lu is so straightforward, then I'll speak directly. Lu Yushan and I have never met before. We have no grudges in the past or any enmity in the present. Why would Senior Brother Lu want to kill me?!"
At this point, Xiang Sheng's eyes reddened. "If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped in time, I would have been dead by now. May I ask, Senior Brother Lu, do you really think the lives of us servants are so worthless?"
"Junior Sister Xiang is really here to call for punishment."
Lu Yushan was not annoyed. Instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know that I reached the peak of foundation building a hundred years ago, and forming a pill is easy for me? Why haven't I broken through yet and have I stayed at Dangchen Peak?"
century……
Xiang Sheng was secretly shocked. Did the Tianyan Sect start planning this a hundred years ago?
Her mind raced, but a look of bewilderment appeared on her face.
Lu Yushan didn't expect her to actually answer. After a moment, he continued to talk to himself, "I have a supreme spiritual root, and my cultivation has been smooth sailing. Everyone in the sect is training me to be the next sect leader. Even Lu Jin was not as good as me, until a hundred years ago..."
Lu Yushan pointed to his temple and said, "My soul and spirit have split into two."
Congenital disease?
A word popped up in Xiang Sheng's mind. She seemed to have heard it in her dream.
"This is a congenital disease."
Lu Yushan continued his narration, his tone smooth and gentle, as if he were talking about a stranger instead of himself. "My soul and spirit were separated. Although I was able to form an elixir, the elixir could not merge with my soul and spirit. My path to cultivation was cut off. As time went on, the split between my soul and spirit became more and more severe, and eventually..."
At this point, Lu Yushan paused and said with a smile, "No sect would place their hopes on a dying person, right?"
Xiang Sheng's expression was complicated: "Senior Brother..."
"I haven't said all this to make you pity me."
Lu Yushan sighed with guilt, "Two days ago, I was possessed by evil thoughts and deliberately led Junior Sister to harm herself. By the time I came to my senses, it was too late. Fortunately, Junior Sister is blessed with a long life, otherwise I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life."
"Brother, please don't say that."
Xiang Sheng quickly consoled him, "I had no idea there was such a thing going on, so I made malicious assumptions about you, and even troubled you to expose your own wounds. You are a true disciple, yet you are willing to speak up for a lowly attendant like me. There's no other Senior Brother Lu like you in this world."
My injuries aren't serious, I just need to recuperate for a while. Brother, please don't worry about it, or you'll hurt yourself."
"Junior Sister Xiang, you really have a kind heart."
Lu Yushan smiled gently, and a light flashed in his hand, revealing a mask. "Your mind is damaged. If you rely solely on recuperation, I don't know how long it will take. I don't have any panacea to make up for the damage to your mind, but there will be a secret market at Zhaoshui Pavilion on the 16th of this month.
Everything traded in the market is precious. You came here wearing the mask, and I'll find you a suitable elixir, and also a true sword manual to make up for what you lost the other day."
After saying that, Lu Yushan handed over the mask.
“Senior Brother!”
Xiang Sheng was flattered and quickly declined, "I'm just a servant, so I don't deserve your expense! I'll leave this mask to the inner sect sisters..."
"Junior Sister Xiang, if I only looked at people based on their status, I wouldn't have said so much to you today."
Lu Yushan smiled and forced the mask into Xiang Sheng's hand. His voice was low and gentle, "On the night of August 16th, at midnight, don't forget the time."
At this point, Xiang Sheng had no choice but to put away the mask. With a look of joy and shyness on her face, she stammered, "If Brother hasn't returned on the day of Sixteen, Junior Sister... Junior Sister will definitely keep the appointment and live up to Senior Brother's love and care."
Having said this, Xiang Sheng's cheeks flushed, he bowed his head, then turned around and left quickly.
Lu Yushan stared at her departing back, the smile on his face growing more intense, but no longer gentle.
"Owner."
Hei Jue appeared with a frown on his face. He was full of questions but didn't know how to ask them.
"Are you wondering why I gave her the mask?"
Lu Yushan clapped his folding fan, shook his head and laughed, "This little girl is so easy to fool. The old ghost hidden in Xiang Hongyu's body is not easy to deal with. If he knew that I touched the small furnace of his precious disciple, he would definitely cause trouble for me.
