If these two sentences from the young man in black were spoken separately, they could be seen as a kind reminder and praise, but when said together, the meaning could not be clearer.
Xiang Hongyu naturally understood and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. Before I left, I asked my maid to look after Sister Sheng'er. As long as she doesn't leave the house, I think she will be fine."
The man in black turned around and stared at Xiang Hongyu for a moment, his smile fading. "You've been on guard for a long time, it seems I wasted my time."
"What are you talking about, brother?"
Xiang Hongyu looked up and saw the black-clothed young man's expression. His heartstrings immediately tightened, and he immediately changed his words and said, "Senior Brother Shu, you are a true disciple, yet you care about me so much. I am deeply grateful. Although my cultivation level is not even a fraction of yours, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly. I beg you to take me in!"
Upon hearing this, the young man in black couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha... Junior Brother Xiang is indeed worthy of being one of the ten inner sect disciples. His mind is really clear."
"Brother, have you... agreed?"
Xiang Hongyu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects, "Junior brother greets Senior Brother Shu!"
"Get up, I'm not Dong Jinghuan, no need to be polite."
The young man in black helped Xiang Hongyu up, looked him up and down for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "This trip to Senior Brother Lu Jin's hometown may be full of unexpected events and dangers. Remember to protect yourself and don't try to be too aggressive. Senior Brother will protect you in everything."
Xiang Hongyu nodded repeatedly, "Junior brother, I'll take note of it."
The young man in black said nothing more and left with a smile.
Xiang Hongyu watched him enter the cabin. His tense nerves relaxed a little, and then he realized that his back was soaked.
He gathered himself, frowning, and silently called out in his heart: "Senior, what does Shu Gaoming mean by this? He knew that Dong Jinghuan wanted to cultivate me, so why did he force me to follow him?"
"Haha... little kid, if you can't even see this, what kind of cultivator are you?"
An old voice quickly rang out in Xiang Hongyu's mind, "This person probably has a grudge against Dong Jinghuan, but he can't do anything to him, so he uses you to disgust others.
But for you, it's not a bad thing. At least Lu Guo and his group have someone to protect them. It's not easy to lose your life, and you can also get some benefits. As for after returning to the clan... you can only wish you good luck! "
"Why?"
Xiang Hongyu's face twisted slightly, and his knuckles, hidden in his sleeves, crackled. "When we were in the outer sect, didn't you say that as long as I entered the inner sect, I would be a formal disciple respected by everyone? How come nothing has changed now? These true disciples don't even treat us as human beings."
"When did I ever say something so naive? Little kid, I warned you long ago that with your talent, if you don't practice the mental method I gave you, you will be trapped in this predicament forever. There will always be someone above you and suppressing you!"
At this point, the old man's voice softened, "Besides, haven't you already brought your blood relatives to your side? That means you have listened to my words."
Xiang Hongyu's body trembled and his face showed signs of struggle.
"Her horoscope matches yours, and we're closely related, making her the perfect cauldron. If you use it wisely, you'll be able to break through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation in ten years, not a hundred. Once you swallow a golden elixir, you'll achieve true freedom!"
If you do it now, it's not too late. Don't wait until the furnace is old and regret it. By then, I won't be able to help you."
"Stop talking!"
Xiang Hongyu growled, and the old voice suddenly paused.
Xiang Hongyu realized what he had done and quickly took a deep breath to calm his mind. He sighed in his heart and said, "Senior, please let me think about it. I will definitely give you an answer when I return to the sect this time."
"Answer? I'm just a remnant soul, why should I reply? I just can't bear to see you live a mediocre life, so I'm saying a few more words. Whether you do it or not is entirely up to you..."
The old voice gradually became inaudible.
Xiang Hongyu looked up at the sky, his eyes full of uncertainty.
"Ren'er..."
…
"Miss Sheng...Miss Sheng, are you there?"
A sound as thin as a mosquito's reached his ears. Xiang Sheng, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed, and he stood up and pushed open the back window beside the bed. Sure enough, he saw a person lying stealthily by the window. The candlelight in the room leaked out, illuminating the person's face.
"fourteen?"
Xiang Sheng was surprised, "Why are you sneaking over to my place in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Shh...keep your voice down!"
Fourteen looked around, turned over and came in through the window, gently lowered the window, and after listening for a moment when there was no movement outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Sheng, I'm here to save you."
"save?"
Xiang Sheng looked Fourteen up and down with a strange look in his eyes. "I'm fine here, why are you trying to save me?"
Could it be that Fourteen overheard Xiang Hongyu's plan from somewhere?
"Your name has spread throughout the inner sect. I can even hear a few words about it when I go to chop wood or fetch water. Now you're the only one who doesn't know about it, right?"
Fourteen looked helpless. "Everyone's saying that Master Hongyu is deeply in love with you, and would rather give up the support of Miss Wanwan's family to bring you into the sect and enjoy the good life. I don't know how many female disciples are envious of you. Some people also say that you are as beautiful as a fairy, and that you have bewitched Master Hongyu to the point of being a vixen... Oh, there are all kinds of rumors. You are quite famous!"
Xiang Sheng's expression was slightly tense. "When did it happen?"
"Today."
Fourteen answered without hesitation, "I heard the rumor and went to get information. I also saw several people wandering around the young master's house. I didn't know what they were doing. I felt something was wrong, so I came to find you at night when no one was around. You are so smart that you even managed to avoid that ghost village in advance. You must be able to do it this time..."
