Chapter 70 (Deliberately Getting Angry)



Qin Xuanjiu was promoted for his great contributions in the battle with Gao Kan. Mu Qingge, who was able to take shelter under the big tree, actually founded a sect and established his own school.

Yu Tong and the others were also surprised. In just a few months, Mu Qingge's followers had become very large, including some great Jindan masters...

Even Mu Qingge in his previous life did not have so many powerful disciples!

It seems that there is some force behind her helping her...

Su Yishui should have settled the old scores with Mu Qingge, but seeing that she looked like a founder of a sect being paraded through the streets, he became extremely anxious.

And for some reason, after returning from the underworld, he always had an inexplicable feeling of emptiness in his heart, which made him lose the desire to show off.

This feeling of emptiness and loneliness always comes to him unexpectedly, and he doesn't know how to get rid of it. Although it doesn't affect his daily life, it makes him feel inexplicably annoyed.

The food that was hard to swallow, the tongue that became unusually delicate, the notes and annotations in the books he carried with him, written in beautiful handwriting and with a mischievous tone, all showed, intentionally or unintentionally, how arrogantly someone had changed his living habits.

Su Yishui felt that his nameless anger towards the little girl named Xue Ranran was growing stronger and stronger. By the time he reached Xishan, this anger was completely ignited.

Yu Tong said that the reincarnation tree was planted in Xue Ranran's yard, but was dug up by someone. Su Yishui wanted to go to the library to find a way to remove the soul-cleansing talisman, but found that the library had been robbed by thieves.

The thief even left a note saying he had borrowed it.

The words on the note were exactly the same as the annotations in his book. Now Su Yishui really believed what Yu Tong said, that he had doted on this disciple!

But no matter how much she spoils him, there should be a limit, right? He didn't agree, how could she be considered borrowing when she took so many books without permission? It was clearly stealing!

As a result, Su Yishui suddenly felt very depressed, and every time he entered the empty study, he would feel angry.

In order to compete with Mu Qingge, he has also been recruiting disciples recently.

It is said that Xue Ranran was very ambitious and made the West Mountain famous at the Tianmai Mountain Marrow Washing Pool Meeting. In this way, the matter of opening another mountain can be delayed. After all, the West Mountain is large enough to recruit more disciples. If we choose another location to build, I don't know how long it will take.

A month passed like this, and Su Yishui just felt that he was very hungry recently, and sometimes he was absent-minded when meditating. When he was in the empty library, he took out a book placed on the table, and accidentally dropped a menu that had been on the page for some time and was old.

Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by Xue Ranran. There are pictures next to each dish name, such as pepper and salt duck, shrimp dumplings, and Dongpo pork, a total of more than 20 dishes.

Below the dishes, there is a very thoughtful line of small words: "Master, write down what you want to eat every day on a piece of paper and put it on the desk, and I will make it for you at noon..."

Although Su Yishui didn't remember it, he could still imagine himself in Xishan, flipping through the food cards like an emperor.

The little girl should be planning the food for lunch while she is tidying up the study for me every day. After I do my morning exercises and meditation, I can have a sweet and delicious meal at noon.

But now, the menu is still there, but the cook has become ungrateful and betrayed his master!

The gate of Xishan is too loose!

Afterwards, Su Yishui didn't know what he was thinking. He just went alone under the moonlight and followed the aura of the Jindan, and just like that, he found Ranran.

Although he came here without a purpose, he probably just wanted to get the book back and take back his own Jindan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw the little girl foolishly letting the precious Vermillion Bird go.

Although he really wanted to break the Suzaku's neck to get the spiritual blood, he was somehow forced to stand aside and watch Xue Ranran chattering with Suzaku in boredom, and waved goodbye reluctantly.

This Xue Ranran is not as smart as Mu Ranwu in her previous life!

Su Yishui narrowed his eyes and came to this conclusion, and then when he looked at the little girl again, somehow his disgust subsided a little.

After swallowing the salted chicken, Su Yishui felt that although half of the Jiedan was valuable, it would be okay to give it to this silly little girl for the time being.

At least the food she cooked was delicious. Before ascending to heaven, eating a meal occasionally could be a comfort in the boring days of an immortal cultivator.

Since he accepted her as his disciple, there must be some purpose, but I accidentally forgot it. She has his Jindan spiritual power, so it is safest for her to stay by his side.

Otherwise, if she fell into the hands of Wei Yan and his ilk, wouldn't the Jindan be lost to that guy for nothing?

Thinking in this way, it becomes easy to find the disciple who left the sect without permission.

Under the strict and ruthless door rules, Ranran's short escape of more than a month came to an end.

Su Yishui seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't even wait for Zeng Yi to come back. He just asked Ranran to tell Qiaolian that his cultivation was not enough and he had to go back to West Mountain to practice, and then he took Ranran down the mountain and returned.

Qiao Lian was also anxious after hearing this, and she spoke to Immortal Su frankly: "Immortal Su, our Ran Ran is not young anymore, and her training is almost done. Her father and I are thinking of arranging a blind date for her in the near future. Do you think my daughter still lacks in cultivation? Otherwise...she won't practice anymore?"

Ranran was afraid that Su Yishui would anger her mother, so she quickly interrupted him and said that it would be bad for the body if she didn't practice this skill.

When Qiao Lian heard this, she was afraid that something might happen to her daughter, so she quickly packed her daughter's bags and asked her to set off with her master.

But on the way back, Su Yishui was once again annoyed to find that this little girl seemed to have no respect for him as she should have towards her master.

If she was walking against the wind, it shouldn't take long to get there, but she was actually dawdling.

"Master, you see there is a town ahead. When I first came here with Uncle Zeng Yi, I ate at a scallion pancake shop in the town. The pork belly soup they used to eat with the pancakes was really amazing. Shall we eat there for lunch?"

Su Yishui looked at her coldly and wanted to reject her outright. But when he saw her big, watery eyes looking at him pitifully, he said, "...are street things dirty?"

Ran Ran said quickly, "The stall owner and his wife are very clean. I saw that the pork belly they used was very fresh. The hot soup just out of the pot, plus a spoonful of sesame oil and chili, was really fresh, spicy and sour."

Perhaps he was moved by the greedy girl's longing expression, Su Yishui unexpectedly said: "Okay..."

However, when he sat in the narrow and crowded shop, his handsome face smelled as if it were not washed cleanly. For a moment, he wondered why he had to squeeze into the shop with a bunch of mediocre people to drink a bowl of pig offal?

And the little girl sitting next to him was wearing a pink floral blouse...also so tacky!

"Master, do you think the taste of the food I prepared for you is good?"

Ran Ran didn't seem to notice Su Yishui's gloomy expression. She just handed the soup with chili to Su Yishui, and then couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat the scallion pancake.

Their scallion pancakes contain fried pork fat, which tastes extremely delicious.

Seeing the little girl eating happily, Su Yishui hesitantly put the cake to his mouth and took a bite... Hmm, it was indeed crispy, soft and fragrant, with a unique taste...

However, he was not used to eating with a group of people, so he only took one bite and put down his chopsticks.

When Ran Ran asked him why he didn't eat, Su Yishui said coldly: "You should buy more food later, and don't take me to this kind of stall again. Since you have been my apprentice for so long, don't you know that I am not used to being too close to strangers?"

...Ran Ran really didn't know that Su Yishui had such a problem. When they were in the capital, he took her to try food in every shop.

The shops in the capital are even noisier and more crowded than the stalls in this small town. Some of them even require waiting in line for half an hour before you can get in!

But Su Yishui would always accompany her patiently at that time, and he had never shown such annoyance on his face!

"Also, as a disciple of Xishan, you should dress more neatly. Don't wear clothes like the ones you are wearing in the future!"

Ranran pursed her lips and looked at her shirt... Well, she was indeed wearing the big flowered shirt made by her mother, the color was quite eye-catching.

It seems that the master's aesthetic taste has not changed, and he only likes plain and elegant colors. However, he is now showing his disgust without any disguise, and he has completely lost the patience he had when he personally selected new clothes for himself.

Maybe he was also very annoyed at that time, but he concealed it very well, and in order to make up for his debt to Mu Qingge, he became more patient?

Ran Ran was overwhelmed with emotions and could not even drink the delicious soup. She did not know whether the effect of the soul cleansing talisman would be lifted.

But the master forgot what happened after Mu Qingge's death, and also forgot his past with Xue Ranran. He seemed to have changed completely.

This also made Ranran realize once again that all his care for her might be based on his guilt towards Mu Qingge.

If that was the case, Su Yishui would not want to recover her memory, because she did not need this kind of care and love that was meant to compensate for her guilt.

After all, she is Xue Ranran now, and has forgotten everything about her time as Mu Qingge. If she continues to accept the favor of her previous life ignorantly, she will not be able to live a carefree life in this life!

Then Xue Ranran quietly took out her handkerchief, wrapped up the unfinished cake in it, and called the boss to settle the bill. Then she said to Su Yishui, "I don't want to eat anymore, let's go."

When Su Yishui said this, he was just speaking from his heart and had no intention of starving the little girl. Unexpectedly, she suddenly stopped eating after hearing what he said.

At such a young age, he actually looked sour? Was it because he was too easy to talk to in the past, and thus developed a rebellious temper?

Thinking of this, Su Yishui snorted coldly, and, not wanting to get used to her young lady's temper, he just got up and left.

Next, Ran Ran really did not call him to wander around anymore. She just invited the master to have a cup of tea and rest in the elegant teahouse while she ran around in several shops alone.

After all, after a trip home, when I return to Xishan, I always bring some special gifts to my uncle and my fellow brothers and sisters. I also have to buy some small clothes and toys for my second uncle's child.

So Ranran went back and forth to buy some southern specialties before returning with the goods.

Su Yishui frowned and asked her what she bought. Ran Ran enthusiastically told her everything.

The more the current leader of Xishan listened, the gloomier his expression became. This silly girl, she bought all the cats and dogs in Xishan, but not his.

Was she venting her dissatisfaction because he hadn't satisfied her before?

In fact, Ran Ran really didn't mean that. She felt that Su Yishui was now annoyed with her. If she bought it for him, she was afraid that he would not be pleased. Instead of listening to him ridicule her, it was better not to stick to him.

The two of them had nothing to say on the rest of the way. When they stopped on the road, Ranran would find a shade under a tree, quietly drink the water in the water bag and eat the slightly dry cake.

Su Yishui was originally meditating and regulating his breathing, but after closing his eyes and concentrating for a while, he couldn't help but open his eyes and coldly looked at the little girl who was hiding to eat.

Because one of her hair ties broke on the way, her long hair was loose. She simply combed her hair up and tied it into a long braid, which she let fall to the side of her shoulder. The strands of hair fell on her face, adding a touch of innocence. The scattered sunlight filtered through the branches, making her face glow whitely, like a pearl carved from jade...

Just when Su Yishui was fascinated, Ran Ran suddenly looked up at him. When their eyes met, Su Yishui immediately lowered his eyes, but after doing so, he felt that why he was so guilty? What's wrong with looking at his half-formed pill openly?

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes righteously again, but found that the damn girl turned around and faced him with her back, trying to ignore her.

She...is she disgusted that he is looking at her?

Ran Ran was feeling sad at the moment. She had just looked up and met Su Yishui's eyes, but he immediately closed his eyes in disgust, as if he had seen something dirty.

In fact, along the way, Su Yishui has always been critical of her, with cold and harsh words. The ferocious beast in "The Book of Play" is truly vividly portrayed on the page.

It was because of this that Ranran realized how restrained and tolerant her master had been towards her.

She couldn't remember all the things Su Yishui had done to let her down in her previous life, but she was very grateful for Su Yishui's silent protection of her in this life.

In this case, she didn't want to dig up the past, she just wanted to find a way to get along that would make both of them more comfortable.

He might not like watching her eat, so she could just turn her back to him.

When they return to Xishan, she will not appear in front of him anymore. When he is in a good mood, he will take back the Jindan, and they will be even.

If Su Yishui knew that she was Mu Qingge, he would probably treat her even worse than he does now. Ran Ran was so sad that she wanted to cry.

However, this is also the real Su Yishui, a man who is not bound by gratitude or guilt, and who does what he wants. If he could choose, Ran Ran guessed that Master might prefer the feeling of not owing anyone this way, right?

After walking for a while, we arrived at Yueling, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The area is densely forested and the scenery is lush and green.

When passing by a village, Ranran saw from afar several people kneeling and crying in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.

Ranran originally wanted to go into the village to fetch some water.

But after listening to the people's complaints for a while, she turned back and said, "Master, several families' seven or eight-year-old children went to the mountains to play secretly, but they never came back. They said that in recent years, there have been monsters eating people in the nearby mountains, and many people in the village have disappeared, so no one dares to go up the mountain on weekdays. Now the children are gone, and the men of two families went to the town to serve as errands and have not returned yet, so they begged the men in the village to help find the children. But no one dared to go..."

Su Yishui didn't seem to care about these things and just asked, "Has the water arrived?"

Ran Ran shook his head and looked at the surrounding lush mountains with some curiosity: "Master, do you think there are really man-eating monsters here?"

Su Yishui said indifferently: "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

Ran Ran knew that his master was now much more indifferent than before, and it seemed that he was too lazy to even ask questions about things that had nothing to do with him.

However, Ranran still felt a little bit unbearable when he saw those women kneeling on the ground and crying at the entrance of the village, begging the village hunters to go to the mountains to find their children.

She whispered again, "Master, why don't you sit here for a while while I go to the mountain to take a look."

Su Yishui suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "What do those people have to do with you?"

Ran Ran blinked and said, "Master, you told me that the higher the level of cultivation, the more responsibilities a cultivator should have. Don't be so obsessed with becoming an immortal that you forget how to be a human being first..."

Su Yishui frowned: "Did I say this?"

Ran Ran nodded affirmatively. Well... actually this wasn't what the master said, but rather it was Ran Ran's summary of the life of his noble master before he lost his memory.

After all, he risked his life to save the people of the capital and prevented the disaster of Xiaolong's destruction. If the master hadn't been hit by the damn soul-cleansing talisman, he would never have let the women cry.

Su Yishui narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl's rolling eyes. He remained unmoved and said, "Are you calling me a non-human?"

Ran Ran waved his hands repeatedly and said sincerely: "Master, you are the best person I have ever met!"

There was no water in her words. In this world, apart from her parents, there was no one better than her master... Even though he might have hurt her in her previous life, she believed that she had not made a mistake in choosing him.

Su Yishui looked at her extremely serious eyes, snorted coldly, but stood up and ordered in a cold voice: "Let's go."

Huh? Ran Ran was a little confused and didn't know what he was going to do.

Su Yishui said, "Aren't you going into the mountains?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the dense mountain. Ran Ran looked at his back, and her heart trembled slightly. She felt that the hard-mouthed but soft-hearted master seemed to have returned...

Of course, Ran Ran soon discovered that this was an illusion.

Soon after entering the mountain, Su Yishui picked a big rock, sat on it, and said, "I'll give you half an hour to find someone. Don't take risks and let my Jindan be damaged."

It turned out that he had followed to keep an eye on the safety of his half-formed Dan at all times, and had no intention of looking for anyone.

But what he said was true, so Ranran quickly seized the opportunity to close his eyes and listen to the movements in the mountains.

She has always had good hearing. As long as she concentrates and listens carefully, she can roughly hear the sounds nearby.

But the strange thing is that there is no human voice in the entire mountain, and the animal calls are nothing more than the common sounds of deer and birds in the mountains. As for the sounds of wolves, they are all coming from far away.

This mountain is close to the village, and the wild animals are afraid of people, so they naturally stay away from people.

Ran Ran heard nothing, so he tapped his feet and used the Wind-Defending Technique to quickly patrol the mountain.

Su Yishui stood up and jumped onto the tallest tree. He sat on the top of the tree and looked at the little colorful butterfly in a pink skirt flying up and down. For a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

Isn’t it to teach people how to behave?

He then taught her the first principle of life - never meddle in other people's business!

There is a dark purple mist deep in the mountain... a sinister aura...

As for Ranran, she didn't find anything unusual while walking through the mountains. However, when she reached a valley, she suddenly felt that the place seemed to be filled with heavy miasma.

Then, her legs seemed to be entangled by some sticky threads, and she almost fell off the tree branch. When she steadied herself and looked carefully, she found that the trees in the valley were covered with large spider webs.

Well, Ranran is considered a brave girl, but lying on a spider web as big as a fishing net and with a spider as big as a washbasin is really enough to make one's pores stand up!

After Ranran's legs were entangled in the spider web, it seemed as if the whole body was moved, and dozens of spiders of all sizes, as big as washbasins, crawled out from all the hidden corners.

Moreover, Ranran only now realized that spiders can also make noises. They moved their fang-like mouthparts at the corners of their mouths, making rhythmic hissing sounds, and moved their eight claws towards Ranran.

Ranran no longer needed to draw his sword, but instead took out three daggers, which flew up swiftly and stabbed at the giant spider that was running towards him.

But at the same time she pulled out a sword to cut the spider web entangled on her legs, but the spider web was sticky and tough and could not be cut off.

In a hurry, when Ran Ran looked down, he found that the ground was full of white bones and skulls.

Apparently, the missing villagers are buried here...

At this time, more and more spiders came from all directions, spitting sticky silk at Ran Ran and the dagger flying in the air.

After the short sword driven by the true Qi was entangled with spider silk, it could no longer fly.

Even the slowly pulled-out mechanical stick was tangled with a lot of spider webs.

...Su Yishui had been sitting on the top of the tree, waiting leisurely for Ranran to call for help. Once she had learned her lesson, he would naturally help her.

But the girl's mouth seemed to be sealed by the spider web and she refused to open her mouth to call anyone.

Su Yishui raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and thought: Is she even dumber than the other three disciples?

When she was about to see a bunch of big spiders swooping over to eat her, Ran Ran suddenly acted quickly and pulled out three beast talismans she had received at the border and stuck them on the bodies of the three big spiders that were swooping over to eat her.

The three spiders stopped attacking immediately, and then, under Ran Ran's silent control, turned around and pounced on their peers with bared fangs and claws.

Ran Ran took out another one and stuck it on another spider, letting it move its long legs to untie the spider silk on its legs.

After escaping the encirclement, Ran Ran quickly broke away and no longer wanted to fight. He jumped out of the valley, and then flew all the way to the foot of the tall tree and shouted: "Master, hurry up! There is a spider spirit in this mountain!"

Su Yishui jumped down from the tree and looked down at the sweaty little girl: "When you were in danger just now, why didn't you call for help?"

Ran Ran was stunned. She had never expected him to ask this question, so she answered honestly, "Those spiders are so weird. Of course I can't ask you to go over. What if you get entangled and put in danger?"

Su Yishui originally thought that she was just a girl with a bad temper, and she was deliberately angry because he did not accompany her into the mountains.

I didn't expect that she was afraid that he would also be entangled by the spider, so she didn't call him...
