Without thinking, Su Yishui said coldly, "No need. She is not Mu Qingge now, and she doesn't need any disciples to burden her. She has done enough for them in the past. If they are blind and insist on recognizing a fake as their master, it is their own fault! As for that fake, I promised Mu Qingge that I would not harm her sister's life. I cannot break my oath, but if Mu Ranwu is seeking death herself, no one can stop her."

Zeng Yi hadn't seen Su Yishui's ruthless sharpness for a long time.

He originally thought that the passage of time had healed the arrogant and radical boy of the past. But now that the spirit spring was possessed, he discovered again that Su Yishui was still so cynical and difficult to get along with.

Thinking about how he could actually accept three disciples besides Ran Ran, it seemed so incredible. He remembered that he had asked Su Yishui the reason why he opened a school and accepted disciples.

Su Yishui's answer was naturally not for the purpose of imparting knowledge and inheriting the immortal blood. Rather, if Ran Ran was the only young person on the mountain, he was afraid that she would suddenly leave her parents and become lonely and unable to adapt.

After all, whether in her past life or now, she has always been a person who likes making friends.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yi thought about the fellow apprentices who were surrounding the fakes, and could only sigh silently. But Su Yishui was right. The master in the previous life had shouldered too much, and he didn't want her to be so tired in this life, always giving for others...

As for his fellow disciples, he could only find opportunities to give them some pointers, and he also hoped that they would not remain blind for too long and would recognize the difference of their master sooner.

Just as Zeng Yi was sighing, Ran Ran's little face appeared at the window, and she smiled and shouted to the two people inside: "Master, Uncle Master, it's time for dinner! The braised pork I cooked in the kitchen before taking a shower is ready, and Third Senior Sister also picked some vegetables from the backyard to wrap the meat with, which is just right for relieving the greasy feeling!"

Since the disciples of Xishan have not yet become immortals, they have a strong appetite. When they became wanted criminals, although they were not afraid of being arrested by the government, they stayed in the mountains to avoid unnecessary trouble. Now they can finally sit at the table and eat peacefully.

There were a variety of dishes on the table. In addition to the braised balsamic pork made by Ranran, there was also the local roasted lamb leg and fried eggs with sweet green onions.

Uncle Zeng Yi found it difficult to use his feet when sitting at a table with many people gathered together, so he ate with a specially made spoon wrapped around his palm.

The second senior brother who came with Uncle Zeng Yi started to look around at the dinner table again.

Bai Baishan is happy to see Second Uncle betraying Master. If this is the case, he is not the only traitor in Xishan. If Master does not punish Second Uncle, then is it just around the corner for him to return to the sect?

Now he had mastered the art of kicking, and he wanted to show his master how hard he had worked, so during meals, without even being asked, Bai Baishan took off his shoes, stretched his legs, and used chopsticks to pick up the largest piece of meat in the bowl.

But the way he ate was very unwelcome. As soon as he stretched his legs and took a bite of chopsticks, Qiu Xier and Gao Cang picked him up and pushed him off the table.

Qiu Xier warned the second senior brother in a low voice that she was saving him - the master's temper was changeable right now, and if the second senior brother dared to eat like this, he should be prepared to have his legs broken.

The second brother was frightened after hearing this, so he had to put on his shoes and eat with his hands obediently.

Second uncle's youngest son Nuo'er sat next to his mother, his mouth greasy and his eyes shining as he ate, praising Sister Xue's cooking skills.

While everyone was enjoying the meal, the sound of a long horn was heard from far outside the town. It seemed that Daqi and Gaokan had already started fighting.

This battle was inevitable, and the food on the table didn't taste so good anymore as they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. So everyone ate hastily and went back to their rooms to rest.

At night, Ranran couldn't fall asleep because of the rumbling sound coming from afar. Suddenly, she heard some movement next door, so she looked at Qiu Xier who was sleeping soundly beside her, got up carefully, put on her clothes, and walked out of the horse shop.

At this time, the two sides were fighting each other and there was a curfew in the city. However, Ranran did not want to walk on the street. Instead, he chose a secluded place on the city wall and jumped up lightly.

Sure enough, there was a familiar figure sitting on the city wall. He walked over slowly, sat down next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Master, it's cold at night, be careful of the cold..."

As they were talking, Ran Ran suddenly noticed that her master seemed to have lifted up his sleeves to look at his arm. Although he quickly put it down, she still saw the black-line-like blood vessels bulging around his hand - that was a sign of the spread of the demonic nature of the spiritual spring...

After Su Yishui covered his sleeves, he turned to look at her and said calmly: "The lonely moon in the desert can't be seen everywhere..."

Ran Ran looked in the direction he was looking at, and indeed, the moonlight was pouring down and the desert was like snow, which was different from the scenery in the mountains.

She suddenly thought, who had the master watched the moon with on this wall?

Thinking of Master Mu's increasingly arrogant behavior, Ran Ran felt it necessary to talk to his master.

When she was in the military camp, she kept silent and did not expose her collusion with Gao Kan because she remembered the old relationship between Master Mu Xian and her master.

If Master Mu continues to act so recklessly, he will hurt the master sooner or later. She wanted to ask the master if he still had Mu Qingge in his heart. If so, could he persuade Mu Qingge to be a good person.

Thinking that she might have been the sister of such a woman in her previous life, Ran Ran really felt that it was good not to remember anything. Otherwise, with the ties of family affection, for such a selfish person, it might be very tiring, right?

Thinking of this, Ran Ran sighed softly. Although she wanted to persuade him, she didn't know where to start when she thought about the ambiguous relationship between her and her master.

When Su Yishui put his cloak on Ran Ran, Ran Ran asked inexplicably: "Master, have you ever loved any woman?"

After asking, Ran Ran felt a little regretful. Master almost married Wen Hongshan, and later he got entangled with Master Mu Qingge. When she thought about how he kissed her, he didn't look like he was young and at a loss. It was really unnecessary to ask this question!

With a handsome face and outstanding temperament like Master, his past love history is probably not limited to these.

She asked about such a secret matter without hesitation, and the master would not tell her.

But after hearing this, Su Yishui stared at her seriously, and then asked, "What is love? Is it that you are easily influenced by someone? You are mad at her, but you still want to see her unconsciously? Is it that you only know the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows after losing her, and live numbly? Or is it that you know that you can't be with her forever, but you still greedily want to leave a trace in her heart?"

Ran Ran was somewhat speechless when asked this question. She had never loved anyone before, so how could she understand the strong emotions that her master was talking about?

But he said it so specifically, so it means he really loved me.

The only person who can stir up Master's emotions and make him feel sad... is probably Master Mu Qingge!

Ran Ran suddenly realized that he had not been breathing, and his chest was aching because he had not breathed in. Although he had guessed it long ago, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he confirmed it.

Thinking about how Master Mu treated Master mercilessly, Ran Ran continued in a depressed tone, "Master, what you said may not be true love. It's just the unwillingness to give up without getting it... or maybe it's just a wishful illusion. If she doesn't like you, why do you still cling to her?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to hit the man's vital point. This time it was the man next to him who didn't breathe for a long time. When he looked up slowly, he found that the master's expression was very painful, and his eyes began to turn red again...

Oh, why did the master become evil again? Just when she thought the master would bend down to kiss her, the man with a frost mask on his face suddenly stood up and rushed out like a sword...

Ran Ran was left alone in the cold wind. She wanted to chase her master, but it was difficult to find him. Although her skills were becoming more and more profound, she still seemed to be far behind her master...

On the second day, the streets of Wuma Town were crowded with soldiers who had returned from the front to rest. People in the streets and alleys were talking about the miraculous event of the heavenly soldiers descending from the front yesterday.

It is said that when the armies of Daqi and Gaokan were fighting yesterday, Daqi was at a disadvantage and suffered a series of setbacks because of the fierceness of Gaokan's cavalry.

Unexpectedly, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared. Under the cover of night, its shape could not be seen at all. It was as fast as lightning, and all the Gaokan soldiers who were touched were thrown off their horses and captured on the ground.

Just this one ghost shadow turned the tide of the battle and allowed Da Qi to win the first battle.

The brutality of the Gaokan soldiers had long frightened the people living on the border, so when they heard about this miracle, they all cried out for help from the gods. But they didn't know which god had such magical powers.

While eating mutton steamed dumplings on the street, Ran Ran listened to the two young commanders at the table next to him talking excitedly, while stealing a glance at his master, and then whispered: "Master, you told me that the affairs of the world have their own destiny, and we cultivators should not interfere at will..."

Maybe others didn't know who this divine figure from heaven was, but Ran Ran guessed that it was the master who had a demonic attack last night. His demonic nature seemed to be stronger now, and it could no longer be annihilated by kissing alone.

Those high-altitude soldiers became sandbags for venting. Fortunately, the master was very determined and did not kill them all. He just pulled them off their horses and helped the officers and soldiers of Daqi turn the defeat into victory, saving the villagers of several nearby villages...

After hearing her question, Su Yishui seemed too lazy to answer. He just took a bite of the steamed mutton dumplings sold on the street, frowned unsatisfiedly, and seemed not to like it.

Ranran looked at her master and suddenly felt a sense of pride in her heart. Even if her master himself thought he was a bad person, she knew that her master was definitely a good person!

Thinking of this, she immediately whispered into Su Yishui's ear: "Master, please have a bite first. I will make you steamed buns with soup and sweet chestnut chicken for lunch. How about that?"

Su Yishui tilted his head to look at the little girl who smiled sweetly at him, and his mind could not help but flutter. He stretched out his long fingers to wipe the oil off the corners of her mouth, and then said expressionlessly: "You want more sweet and sour fish..."

Ran Ran nodded vigorously, then picked up another dumpling for his master and put it into his mouth. This time, Su Yishui ate it obediently, and seemed to be less picky.

The master and his disciple were happily feeding the baby, but on the other side of the street, a man standing on a tavern was so angry that his eyes were wide open.

Tu Jiuyi looked at His Excellency who was looking at the master and disciple in the distance, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Su Yu is still waiting for you in Yougu, do you think you should go back immediately?"

Wei Yan squinted his eyes and said sinisterly, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

Tu Jiuyi was scolded, so she lowered her head and stopped talking. But she knew that when His Majesty looked at the master and apprentice at the dumpling stall, there was undisguised jealousy on his face...

Thinking of this, Tu Jiuyi felt sad.

Wei Yan didn't think he was jealous, he just hated that Su Yishui, this thousand-year-old fox, was always one step ahead of him in every aspect.

He met Mu Qingge at about the same time as Su Yishui. He tried his best to please her but failed, while Su Yishui won Mu Qingge's favor by putting on a cold face.

Later, Mu Qingge finally broke up with Su Yishui. He thought his chance had come, so he went to her again to show his goodwill and expressed his willingness to become her disciple again, but she rejected him again.

The inner demon was sown, and Wei Yan could not swallow this anger. Later, Mu Qingge suffered retribution and his soul was scattered. He thought that the anger he had held would follow him forever, and he was so angry that he chopped down trees crazily in the deserted mountains.

Later, when he knew that Mu Qingge was reincarnated in a tree, he felt much better. He was determined to gain the upper hand this time, so he set up the resentful water in an attempt to keep Mu Qingge firmly under his control.

Who would have known that the Su fox would actually take the unripe fruit back to his den early.

In the end, Wei Yan's work was all in vain!

Thinking of this, how could Wei Yan not feel hatred in his heart! It was just a dumpling, but as a master and apprentice, they were eating it in such a loving way. When Ran Ran smiled sweetly and whispered in Su Yishui's ear, Wei Yan's fists were so tight that blood came out.

He was not a fool who had not yet understood the world of love. He could tell at a glance that the couple must have developed some special feelings for each other.

Su Yishui was even more despicable than he was twenty years ago! He used a little trick to hold the still-flowering Ran Ran in his palm and let him do whatever he wanted.

Wei Yan finally took a deep breath, stopped looking at the couple in the distance, turned around and strode downstairs.

After all, his fight with Su Yishui is not over yet! This time, he entered the Black Pool and his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. If he could get the spiritual spring, what would Su Yishui be then?

One day, he would beat Su Yishui into a pulp in front of Ranran, so that she would know who was the man worthy of her!

At the dumpling stall, the master and his apprentice also paid the bill and left. When Ran Ran passed by a wine shop, he couldn't help but sigh: "Tu Jiuyi has the wine immortal's talisman, which means he is in Wei Yan's hands... I don't know how he is now, and I don't know when I can rescue him..."

At this moment, Su Yishui suddenly held her shoulders and said word by word: "Remember, this life of yours was given to you by me. You don't owe anyone anything, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself to save anyone."

Ran Ran felt that the master's tone was inexplicably serious. She was a little amused, but also a little moved: "Who said I don't owe anyone? Although I don't remember who I was in my previous life and what happened, I owed you, Master, since I was born!"

Su Yishui remained silent and said calmly: "No, we have settled the account. You just need to cultivate well and complete your path to immortal cultivation."

When he said this, for some reason, Ran Ran always felt that his tone was inexplicably distant and indifferent, as if the man who kissed her before was not him...

Ran Ran couldn't help but think of the secret room in Tianmai Mountain that hid the laughter of his wife and children, as well as the medicine field, thatched cottage and younger brother in the fantasy world of Yao Laoxian.

When she becomes an immortal, will she also hide the little things about her master somewhere, occasionally look through them to savor them, and then leave indifferently?

Ran Ran sighed and decided to eat some more plums to suppress the sour feeling in her heart.

Whether it's a human or an immortal, in her opinion, they both lose one thing while focusing on the other, and it's hard to achieve perfection.

As for Su Yu, he was not in the palace at this time, but in the blood pool of Chimen Mogu. The method Wei Yan used to prolong his life was quite insidious, and it was a method of continuous transfer of illness that was rarely used by people in the magic world.

It was probably about using healthy people to expel the sick qi. Mu Qingge had used this method to treat Prime Minister Lin's son.

However, Wei Yan's method is even more vicious than Mu Qingge's. Not only does it pass on the disease, but basically everyone who uses it will die.

Su Yu had lost his soul and his meridians were severed, so the only person who could prolong his life was the body of a cultivator.

When a newly arrived alien couple were tied to an iron chair and their vital energy was continuously absorbed into Su Yu's body, Su Yu's originally pale and bony body suddenly regained its vitality little by little as if it were poured with immortal water.

The fine lines around his eyes also miraculously disappeared, and he seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger...

My long-sick body suddenly feels relaxed, and this feeling is really addictive.

However, Wei Yan said lazily: "Your Majesty, this method is only effective for a short time, and more and more people will need to pass on their diseased qi. If it is interrupted, the backlash of the diseased qi will be stronger. Therefore, the method to cure it once and for all needs to find a spiritual spring, and use its power to make Your Majesty healthy forever."

Just two days ago, Prime Minister Lin's son suffered a relapse of his old illness, and the severity of the illness was so great that before Prime Minister Lin could even call a doctor, he had already breathed his last.

This caused Prime Minister Lin to burst into tears, and he cursed Mu Qingge for harming others.

In comparison, Wei Yan was more particular. He explained the pros and cons to Su Yu in advance and also pointed out a clear way for him to achieve his goal once and for all.

Su Yu knew that Wei Yan's purpose in saying this was not to cure the disease and save people. He just wanted to use the spiritual spring as bait to lead the king of a country to deal with Su Yishui.

However, the strong joining forces is a game of chess. Whether you gain an advantage or suffer a loss depends entirely on your ability.

Someone will report the war on the front line to Su Yu in time, including the divine figure that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The border of Daqi was stable, and Su Yu could breathe a sigh of relief. The sequelae of the soul-leaving incident had not yet disappeared. If something unexpected happened on the front line, it would inevitably consume too much of his soul. "Your Majesty, that Xue Ranran did not accept your kindness and live in the courtyard of Wuma Town, but temporarily settled in a horse shop."

Su Yu nodded and said calmly: "Since she doesn't want to, then let her do what she wants. However, I ordered you to prepare clothes and utensils, as well as Huizhou mountain spring water for making tea and Lu'an's fragrant rice to be sent to Ma Xing. She has always been accustomed to delicate things, and I am afraid that she will suffer if she follows Su Yishui..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yan, who was standing by, crossed his legs and laughed: "I thought Su Yishui was hypocritical and annoying, but now I realize that all of you Su family members are like this. There are so many talented people, each with their own strengths! You are the one who issued the wanted order, and you are the one who watched Mu Qingge frame her. But now I see your words and actions, I thought you were her closest relative!"

Su Yu pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words and continued gently: "Your Excellency Wei, you also know that when people are angry, they always do irrational things. I am the same as you, our enemy is Su Yishui. I thought we had reached a consensus and it was a temporary alliance. But you moved all the horses of Daqi to Gaokan. What is your intention?"

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "I only said that I would join hands with you to deal with Su Yishui. As for the outcome between you and Gao Kan, it is not within our consensus."

Su Yu understood Wei Yan's intention. In order to set a trap for Su Yishui, he did everything he could. As for whether Da Qi would lose the war, he didn't care at all and would not guarantee anything.

After all, Su Yu's survival now depends on him, and Wei Zun Shang doesn't care about the emperor at all, let alone any respect for him.

Su Yu smiled and said nothing more, while Wei Yan stood up and prepared to leave.

Different from Su Yu's warm hospitality that only gets rejected, Wei Yan advocates the power that can crush everything.

Although Su Yishui had the spiritual spring, he did not dare to use it at his full strength. Instead, he used his body to imprison the spiritual spring, which became his fatal weakness.

Even if Su Yishui accepted Ran Ran as his apprentice, what would happen? How could someone without ability be qualified to teach apprentices?

Wei Yan was thinking about the time he and Xue Ranran spent together on Tianmai Mountain. Ranran had taken the initiative to give him a handful of dried sweet potatoes and always talked to him when she had nothing to do.

From this, it seemed that Ran Ran had a good impression of him at first. Thinking of the scene when Ran Ran and he fought side by side against the fairy-eating insects, Wei Yan's heart was moved again.

As for Su Yishui, now that he has been possessed by the spiritual spring again, it may not be so easy for him to escape unscathed.

Ran Ran certainly doesn't have to perish with the declining Xishan Sect. Chimen will open its doors to welcome her to join it. By then, she will find that she is more capable than Su Yishui and can help her recover her cultivation as soon as possible...

Twenty years ago, Wei Yan had been unconsciously competing with the immortal cultivator Su Yishui in every way, and this knot in his heart had already become a demon. Now that he found that Su Yishui had taken the lead again, how could he let it go?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and asked someone to send Su Yu out. This smiling boy was the most vicious. He saved Su Yu's life, which was the biggest trap for Su Yishui.

Su Yu did not mind Wei Yan's rudeness to him, but before leaving, he gently reminded Wei Yan: "The one who is at odds with you is Su Yishui. Ran Ran is still an ignorant little girl, and she only has her master in her heart. Please bear with her..."

Wei Yan felt that Su Yu was too shameless. Ran Ran was not the property of His Majesty the Great Qi. What did he mean by admonishing her in the tone of a patriarch?
