Close the five senses?
Xiang Sheng quickly shook her head. If her five senses were really blocked, she didn't know what Xiang Hongyu would do to her.
"That's right."
Xiang Hongyu looked relieved.
The furnace made by closing the five senses is far less useful than a living one.
The master had said long ago that his state of mind was not up to the level of Dan-forming. If he let the furnace suffer the pain on his behalf, it would be equivalent to experiencing the hardship himself after swallowing it. How could he waste it?
"That's all for today. You can go back and rest first. I'll move on to the second acupoint tomorrow when the true energy in your acupoint stabilizes."
Xiang Hongyu helped Xiang Sheng up and said as they walked, "As long as you pass through the 49 acupoints, you will be able to ascend to heaven in one step and directly enter the foundation-building stage! From now on, you and I will practice the same method together. The efficiency will be astonishing and will far surpass our peers."
Xiang Sheng showed a look of longing and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Brother, I will listen to you in everything."
"That's good."
Xiang Hongyu could barely conceal the smile on his face, "Qinji!"
Qinji walked in quickly, lowered her head and dared not look any further, "The servant is here."
Xiang Hongyu flicked his sleeves and said, "Take Sheng'er back to rest and take good care of her. If anything goes wrong, I will only hold you responsible."
Qin Ji nodded in agreement and went over to support Xiang Sheng. His eyes swept across the red mark on his wrist, and his pupils suddenly shrank. But he didn't say much, just pulled up his sleeve to cover the red mark, and left with Xiang Sheng.
The two of them stayed silent on the way until they returned to the East Courtyard. Qin Ji dismissed his attendants and finally couldn't help asking, "Miss Sheng, did the young master... bully you?"
Xiang Sheng smiled upon hearing this and lifted his sleeves. "You're talking about this? My brother is a cultivator, so he has immense strength and doesn't know how to control it. This was accidentally created when he was teaching me how to practice."
Qin Ji heaved a sigh of relief, sat down facing Xiang Sheng, took out a jade box from his bosom, opened it, scooped out a ball of paste, and carefully applied it to the red mark, while admonishing:
"Miss Sheng, if you're in pain, you must tell me. Otherwise, if you're seriously injured, what will you do?"
"Don't worry, this little injury is nothing serious."
Xiang Sheng smiled with his eyebrows curved, and then said: "Qin Ji, why do I remember that when I first came here, my brother treated me like that, and you were very jealous. How come you don't care now?"
"Miss Sheng, I don't have any!"
Qin Ji's expression changed slightly, and she immediately denied it, "This servant has never thought of competing with you for the position of Young Master."
After saying that, she looked up at Sheng with a teasing look on her face. She immediately realized that the other party was just joking. Her face turned red and she complained, "Miss Sheng, you really are... Please stop making fun of Qinji."
"I'm not teasing you, I'm really asking you."
Xiang Sheng lowered his sleeves and said casually, "Back when we were at the Xiang family, didn't you hesitate between taking me or Xiang Wanwan?"
Qin Ji's expression finally changed. Looking at Xiang Sheng in front of her, she felt very familiar with him, but at this moment she suddenly felt strange.
"Miss Sheng, you... have always known this?"
Qin Ji's face turned red and white in embarrassment. Somehow, she thought of the red jade hairpin that Xiang Sheng gave her in the market.
She took a deep breath and said frankly, "Miss Sheng, when I first met you at the Xiang family, I was dissatisfied with you, but I have always handled things impartially and have not been partial.
When you came to the sect, I really looked down on you at first. But time reveals a person's true character. Miss Sheng, you are truly excellent. To put it bluntly, although the young master has cultivation, in terms of character and personality, he is not worthy of you at all!"
At this point, Qin Ji gritted his teeth, suddenly grasped Xiang Sheng's hand, and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss Sheng, Qin Ji dares to warn you! If you really have connections, why not make friends with that Lu Zhenchuan and get down the mountain quickly? I have a feeling that the young master has ill intentions towards you. If you stay any longer, your life might be in danger."
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
She originally wanted to test Qin Ji to see whether he was loyal to Xiang Hongyu or was worthy of her rescue, but she didn't expect him to confess directly, so straightforwardly that it was surprising.
"Qinji, I remember that you have been with my brother for quite a few years."
Putting down the teacup, he said to Sheng, "How dare you say such things? Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
Xiang Sheng's voice was very soft, but it made Qin Ji feel very pressured. However, even at this point, Qin Ji still didn't care. He just stood up from the stool, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
She stood up straight and smiled carefreely, "Miss Sheng, you don't understand me. If you haven't seen the sunlight, it's fine. But once you have, how can I bear to see you get hurt? Even if you are my master, I will never allow it. Qin Ji will try my best to protect you, even if it means risking my own life!"
