Chapter 15: Master is finished, finished, finished!
Chu Sheng, remembering this, quickly pulled his mind back from its immersion and suddenly opened his eyes. "Gui Xuan!"
After many exchanges, Gui Xuan and Chu Sheng, who were really tired of being addressed politely, had already naturally omitted the title of Daoist friend and called him by his name:
"Gui Xuan, I forgot one thing. We haven't had time to inform the Sword Palace about Ling Fengzhi's presence here yet!"
"Inform the Sword Palace?" Gui Xuan didn't even raise her head as she wrote down the prescription. "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ling's injuries have healed. He'll take care of his own affairs after he leaves. But you—"
"You still have time to care about him? It seems the potency of the medicine hasn't reached your limit yet. The dosage needs to be adjusted."
Gui Xuan didn't hear Chu Sheng's reply for a long time after he finished speaking. He suddenly panicked and looked up. He saw Chu Sheng suddenly standing there in a daze, as if he suddenly sensed something more important:
"It's over."
"What's over?"
Gui Xuan was bewildered. Chu Sheng, who had regained his composure, hurriedly climbed out of the pool and quickly began to pick up the various prescriptions Gui Xuan had scattered on the ground.
"It's over, it's over, it's over... Hurry up and put this pile of stuff away, Guixuan! Otherwise it will be too late!"
"I almost collapsed a few times when I was struck by lightning before. I guess my soul lamp was a little unstable at the time and was discovered by the sect. Anyway, I have a feeling that Master is about to come! Don't let him know what I've been doing these past few days!"
Guixuan's expression suddenly became interesting.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier... Never mind. It's not your fault. I didn't grasp your tolerance threshold during the drug trial. It's my fault for not being careful enough and not controlling the dose properly."
He scratched his hair helplessly, his expression changed for a while, and then he made up his mind.
"Reverend Yunmeng originally only wanted you to purify his body. The subsequent thunder tribulation and drug testing were all my own decisions. Anyway, my father couldn't possibly abandon me as his son. If there's anything your master really can't get over, you can just put it all on me!"
Chu Sheng looked at him in surprise when he heard that.
When they first met, Chu Sheng thought Gui Xuan was a weird guy because he deliberately dressed up as a woman to play a trick on her and Ling Fengzhi.
After spending some time together, Chu Sheng's perception of Gui Xuan changed slightly. He felt that although this person sometimes talked to herself and acted arbitrarily on some matters, they could actually communicate happily if they found a way to get along with each other.
Now that Gui Xuan had said this, Chu Sheng finally completely agreed with the character of the Young Master of Liangyi Valley:
"Gui Xuan."
"What?" Gui Xuan, who was busy packing, frowned at her. "Aren't you in a hurry to finish this so your master won't find out you're taking a risk testing the medicine? What did you remember?"
"No, I just suddenly felt that you are a pretty good friend." Chu Sheng smiled at him.
"Besides, I agreed to the drug trial myself. How can I let you take the responsibility for me? There is no such thing in this world. I will talk to Master about it."
"You..." Gui Xuan looked at her expression and opened her mouth with a slightly bewildered look, "Chu Sheng, you don't have to..."
"——What do you want to say to your master?"
A beautiful woman with red clothes and fluttering sleeves like fire and snow-white hair and an androgynous face suddenly appeared, slowly blocking the sight of Gui Xuan who was standing there in a daze.
A large hand with distinct joints rested on Chu Sheng's shoulder with ease, and the frightened girl jumped on the spot.
“Master…Master?!”
Speak of the devil and he will appear. This dramatic effect, where words come true, made Chu Sheng's eyes widen in fear.
"The thundercloud is still there. Didn't Guixuan set up a closed-door ban here? How did you get in?"
"When we get back, I'll punish you by making you retake the formation course. After that Sword Palace disciple took the initiative to leave, the restriction of no entry or exit was automatically broken. It's just a courtyard with its doors open to welcome anyone to visit. How can I not enter?"
Yun Mengzi glanced at the sky and said casually, "As for the thunderclouds..."
Chu Sheng raised her eyes following Yun Mengzi's movements, but she only saw that the stubborn little ball of calamity cloud had begun to dissipate at some point. Now even the few remaining wisps of ethereal gray clouds quickly disappeared between heaven and earth as she watched.
If it weren't for the faint phantom pain in her meridians reminding her of what had happened during this period of time, Chu Sheng would almost think that she had just had a willful dream.
Yun Mengzi reached out his hand and poked Chu Sheng, who was in a daze, on the forehead lightly, and said in a light tone.
"Why, Sheng'er has been so happy in Liangyi Valley that he doesn't want to leave. So he doesn't want to see me, the master?"
"Master, that's not what I meant." Chu Sheng covered his head with his hands and groaned, then quickly explained to Yun Mengzi.
"I mean, why did you come here so suddenly? Our sect is so far away from Futu Island..."
"Because Sheng'er said that she would report back to me when she arrived at Liangyi Valley, but I haven't received any news yet."
Yun Mengzi looked meaningfully at Chu Sheng, who was obviously feeling guilty after hearing this, but he intended to save face for his disciple in front of Gui Xuan, an outsider, so he did not mention the soul lamp that had been flickering for a while before, but instead talked about Chu Sheng's last excuse when the two of them communicated last time.
"If I don't come to Liangyi Valley to check on the progress, I'm afraid Sheng'er will try to find an excuse to get away with this year's sect competition just like before, right?"
Chu Sheng racked his brains but couldn't come up with any convincing excuse, so he could only laugh dryly at Yun Mengzi, trying to get away with it by acting cute.
Yun Mengzi glanced at Chu Sheng, and the undoubted meaning of settling scores in his eyes made the girl finally fall silent. Then she stood behind him with a very obedient look.
After giving a beating to his disciple who had been a little too lively recently because he might have been away from home for too long, Yun Mengzi looked at Gui Xuan who seemed a little silent and nervous, and said with a warm face and a smile.
"You must be Fuling's beloved son, Guixuan, right? Your father has been waiting outside for a long time. Now that you've been released, go out and let the elders comfort you."
Yun Mengzi did not mention Chu Sheng's mistakes, nor did he question the accident that happened in the body before. This made Gui Xuan hold back all the words she was ready to say to excuse Chu Sheng.
The Young Master of Liangyi Valley, who had always made others feel aggrieved, was now under the gaze of the famous Venerable Yunmeng. For the first time in his life, he personally felt what it meant to be aggrieved.
Things had come to this point. Faced with the master and disciple who were clearly determined to resolve the issue internally, Gui Xuan had nothing more to say. She could only secretly swallow her anger and reluctantly adopted the attitude of facing an elder, answering Yun Mengzi respectfully.
“…Yes, Venerable Yunmeng.”
On the other side, Ling Fengzhi, who had been driven out by Gui Xuan earlier, was still in a messy state.
Originally, Gui Xuan disliked Ling Fengzhi's adaptability to the prescriptions as Chu Sheng did, and the strength of his meridians was not as strong as Chu Sheng's. After his injuries healed, he no longer had the Thunder Essence, so there was no place for him to form a control group with Chu Sheng. Therefore, she released him early.
In Gui Xuan's words, it was to give Ling Fengzhi a space to relax physically and mentally so that he could better devote himself to the next drug trial.
But what no one expected was that as soon as Ling Fengzhi walked out of the medicine house, he bumped into Guizhi Fuling who had been circling in the same place for a long time.
Guizhi Fuling looked at the standard Sword Palace disciple uniform on Ling Fengzhi in front of him, and then looked at the Feiluan message in his hand that he had not yet put away. What else did he not understand at this moment?
The worried Liangyi Valley Master immediately spoke to Ling Fengzhi in a friendly manner for a while, and then within a few minutes, he asked Ling Fengzhi to take the initiative to express that he would personally reply to Zhongnan Dao Sect and reveal his identity so that the people from the Sword Palace could come to pick him up.
As for asking Liangyi Valley to help send Ling Fengzhi to Jian Palace... that is of course impossible.
This sword-cultivating disciple had his good son do something unpleasant behind closed doors. If he had sent the boy back without personally checking it out, if anything went wrong, wouldn't it damage the reputation of their Liangyi Valley?
Guizhi Fuling, who was becoming more and more skilled at wiping her son's butt, sighed with vicissitudes of life.
Ling Fengzhi was naturally overjoyed when he unexpectedly received news from his fellow disciples. What Guizhi Fuling said was reasonable, so he naturally had to follow her advice.
After Ling Fengzhi sent a reply, he ordered Guizhi Fuling to take him to another courtyard without saying anything and conduct a thorough examination. After several rounds of this, Ling Fengzhi, who had never been to Liangyi Valley before, was completely confused.
After waiting for a long time for the young sword cultivator who was confused about the situation to have some time, he was ready to come over to ask about Gui Xuan and Chu Sheng's situation, but he was really unlucky and passed by a large-scale social death scene where Chu Sheng was captured on the spot by Yun Mengzi who rushed thousands of miles and Gui Xuan was immediately dragged away by Guizhi Fuling, who he called his real father, with a gloomy face.
When Ling Fengzhi ran back to the medicine house where he had stayed for quite some time, the bustling scene that was almost ghostly was gone. Only Xiao Huang, the medicine boy who had been guarding Gui Xuan's house, raised his eyes when he heard the sound and spoke to Ling Fengzhi innocently.
"Friend Ling, isn't your treatment over? Did something fall?"
"Fellow Daoist Guixuan and Fellow Daoist Chusheng...are not here anymore?" Ling Fengzhi was very confused.
"Young Valley Master and Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng have been gone for quite some time, didn't you know? Could it be that Young Valley Master forgot to inform you?" The medicine boy Xiao Huang asked innocently, wagging his tail.
We were originally a group of three, but in the blink of an eye we were forced to play alone.
The stern swordsman, with an empty bag and no means of communication, stood alone, facing the bleak autumn wind blowing through the empty medicine hut. He held the only Frost Sword he had, and belatedly typed a question mark in his mind.
“…Huh?”
