He's bad water
"Junior sister, is the person you are talking about Bai Linchuan?" Mo Xue asked.
They had returned to Lingzhong Mountain and slowly walked into Lingzhong Gate together.
Bai Linchuan shook his head: "No, it's Elder Ding Haocang."
Mo Xie grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Then we still have to find Bai Linchuan."
"..." Bai Linchuan was too lazy to look at him anymore. He stretched out his hand, and the wide sleeves covered his entire hand. "Let's go, little pockmarked boy."
Mo Xue had no choice but to untie the rope and said, "Be good and follow Sister Luo Bing."
"I understand." Xiao Mazi glanced at him, lowered his head, and pulled Bai Linchuan's sleeve.
After Bai Linchuan brought Xiao Mazi back, he said, "Wait here. A man will take you to see the elders."
The little pockmarked girl stood quietly there until Bai Linchuan walked behind the screen, took off his veil, changed into a white dress, and walked out slowly from behind the screen.
Xiao Mazi glanced at him and said, "You've changed your clothes."
Bai Linchuan paused.
Xiao Mazi pointed at the screen and said, "I'm not stupid..."
Bai Linchuan lowered his eyes to look at him. When he was not smiling, there was always a hint of coldness in his eyes, which made him unapproachable and difficult to understand.
Xiao Mazi turned his head away and changed the subject, "I didn't see anything."
Bai Linchuan suddenly smiled faintly: "It seems that you have learned a little wisdom after this incident. I will not harm you. After the elders heal you, it will all depend on your own luck."
"What is opportunity?" Xiao Mazi asked as they walked, holding his hand.
Bai Linchuan said: "Chance is the bond between people. It is unpredictable. The coming and going of fate is all determined by destiny."
His cold voice floated into Xiao Mazi's ears, and he nodded as if he understood.
"Master." Bai Linchuan bowed respectfully to Ding Haocang.
Ding Haocang said, "I haven't seen you recently. Shao Zhi said you went down the mountain to carry out a mission."
Bai Linchuan replied, "It was... a mission to help a friend, so it wasn't recorded on the jade slip."
Ding Haocang looked at him, with fine lines at the corners of his eyes but gentle eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to the right and wrong and grudges in the world. He sighed slightly and did not continue to ask.
Bai Linchuan suddenly dodged, revealing the pockmarked boy behind him. He was imitating Bai Linchuan and bowed awkwardly.
Ding Haocang took a deep breath, "This... this... this... this... this... this... this..."
"No." Xiao Mazi said calmly.
Ding Haocang widened his eyes and took a closer look, and it was indeed not the case.
After Bai Linchuan recounted the whole story about Xiao Mazi, Ding Haocang examined him carefully and said, "I'm afraid his symptoms aren't due to demonic power, but rather a completely artificial poison. The toxin has penetrated deep into his brain, disrupting his nerves, causing his periodic bouts of dementia."
Bai Linchuan: "Master, do you have any solution?"
Ding Haocang said: "I have no way, but... there is someone who can cure him."
Ding Haocang reached out his hand to Xiao Mazi, but Xiao Mazi hid behind Bai Linchuan.
"Well, you can go with us." Ding Haocang said to Bai Linchuan.
On a fairy peak not far from Lingzhong Mountain, it was spring-like all year round, with a gentle breeze, clusters of flowers, and spirit butterflies dancing among them. A spirit deer was nibbling on fairy grass. Seeing someone approach, its spiritual eyes blinked.
"Master, where is this?" Bai Linchuan asked.
"This is the Medicine Valley." Ding Haocang looked around. "I didn't expect that after so much time, this place is still the same."
Bai Linchuan glanced at his master. Isn't that Elder Ouyang's territory?
Suddenly, a voice came from a distance: "I didn't expect that you have changed after not seeing you for many years."
The visitor was wearing a red dress with long hems dragging on her body, and she was scented with the fragrant smell of flowers. Her eyebrows and eyes were arrogant, and the faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes did not affect her demeanor at all, but instead added a charm that was tempered by time. Her every frown and smile was full of charm.
She stands alone in the garden, like a proud winter plum blossom among the spring scenery in the garden.
"Wow, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, even your child has grown up this much." She said.
Xiao Mazi said: "My name is Xiao Mazi, I..."
Ouyang Suying stepped forward and interrupted, "Tsk, that's a terrible name. Your taste is still so bad. I'm afraid the best moment of your vision in this life was when you fell in love with me."
Xiao Mazi: “…”
Ding Haocang said, "This is the child we brought back from the mission. He's physically damaged and has dementia."
Ouyang Suying raised her eyebrows and said leisurely, "This is not a place to collect junk."
When she spoke or glanced at them, even gods and Buddhas would bow to her.
The words were like needles piercing one's body, making holes in anyone's body. The wind blew past, making one feel cold all over.
Ding Haocang: "Su Ying, after so many years, I thought you had forgotten the past."
"I have indeed forgotten that we loved each other so much, but in the end we still separated." Ouyang Suying looked at him.
Ding Haocang replied: "Because you dumped me so suddenly back then."
“…”
Ouyang Suying's expression suddenly froze, as if she had recalled something. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take this child."
Bai Linchuan interrupted at this time: "Do you need to check on Xiao Mazi's illness first?"
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Suying glanced at him and said, "We'll know if it can be cured if we try. If it is cured, then you can live. At worst, you will die."
She raised her red lips and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Mazi, my medicine valley is so big, there will always be a place for you."
What kind of land? A place for burying corpses?
The little pockmarked boy grabbed Bai Linchuan's clothes and shrank a little behind him.
Ding Haocang: "Don't scare them. Ouyang, you are famous, and countless people in the world beg you for help. Thank you very much this time."
He edited it solemnly.
Ouyang Suying lowered her eyes and said, "No need, I owe you."
She pinched the little pockmarked boy's collar and turned to leave with him. The little pockmarked boy looked back reluctantly, "Remember to come and see me."
Bai Linchuan nodded and looked at his master. Ding Haocang shook his head slightly and sighed, "No one owes anyone anything..."
On the way back, Bai Linchuan asked, "Why did Master want to separate from Elder Ouyang?"
Ding Haocang looked at Bai Linchuan, a disciple who was devoted to cultivation and had no desire for love, with a puzzled look on his face.
Ding Haocang said: "Because we all have more important things to do, we are destined to be together but not to be together..."
Bai Linchuan looked at the sea of clouds and mist covering the distant mountains and fell into deep thought.
"Junior sister, this is your reward." Mo Xue handed him ten spirit stones.
Under the clear sky and white clouds, Mo Xue and Bai Linchuan sat side by side, with a distance of one person between them.
Bai Linchuan took it calmly, and Mo Xue asked again, "How's the matter with Xiao Mazi?"
The wind blew the leaves, and Yun Bai's veil was occasionally lifted onto Mo Xue's clothes.
Bai Linchuan said: "Elder Ding Haocang was unable to treat him, so he took him to see Elder Ouyang."
Mo Xue's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Elder Ouyang?"
"What's wrong?"
Mo Xie shook his head, "No, there are rumors that the relationship between the two of them is not simple."
Bai Linchuan thought to himself that this was indeed the case. He looked at Mo Xue. The fate between people was really strange. Some people desperately wanted to have a relationship, but it was not meant to be. And some people didn't want to have a relationship, but they had a relationship despite the fate.
He lowered his eyes. The development of things was beyond his expectations. He shouldn't have thrown himself into it. Attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven was what he wanted in his life.
He finally realized that Mo Xue was an abyss he couldn't cross. He wanted to get close to him, only to sink into it and suffer. But separating from him was much easier for him.
Maybe he just liked him a little bit.
For the first time, he backed down...
"Junior Sister?" Mo Xue suddenly came up to him, looked at him with his bright eyes, and smiled: "What are you thinking about?"
Mi Li swayed, her veil fluttering. Bai Linchuan suddenly turned his head away and said, "I don't know."
"What?"
"The matter of Elder Ouyang."
"oh."
Mo Xue nodded, feeling that his junior sister was much colder today.
"I heard that you are going to have a one-on-one competition tomorrow?" Bai Linchuan suddenly asked.
Mo Xie: "Yeah, don't worry, I'm in the same group with Wei Si."
"Why not compete with Bai Linchuan?"
Mo Xue was startled and suddenly looked at him.
Bai Linchuan's eyes dodged. "Don't you hate him the most? If you win, you can make conditions to humiliate him. If you lose, he will just ask for the sword back."
Mo Xue narrowed his eyes, "Did he ask you to test me?"
Bai Linchuan: "...No."
It's not a temptation, it's a clear indication.
Mo Xue took his hesitation as a tacit agreement and said through gritted teeth, "Bai Linchuan, this fellow, actually wants to beat me up and then take the sword back! He's dreaming!"
“…”
Mo Xie: "Go back and tell him that I would never compete with him even if I die!"
"...Oh." Bai Linchuan nodded lightly. He already knew.
On the second day, at the competition arena, the Grand Master's expression was unexpectedly stern, and the air was filled with restlessness.
The field was very quiet, with only the rustling of willow leaves in the wind coming from time to time.
"What happened today?" Mo Xie yawned and arrived at the last moment.
Wei Si said, "For today's competition, Master Ding Haocang has come to inspect, and... the competition will be conducted by drawing lots."
Mo Xue suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Linchuan. The other party had a calm and expressionless face, yet he was so cold and arrogant to the extreme.
"You're such a jerk!" Mo Xie raised the corner of his mouth and said indignantly.
After drawing the lot, Mo Xue looked at the piece of paper in his hand. As expected, there were three words clearly written on it: Bai Linchuan.
He knew it a long time ago!
This round was specially designed for him. He pouted his cheeks and even now, he can still laugh.
Ding Haocang said: "For this written test, just click on it. The winner will be accepted as my disciple."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar, but it soon died down. Everyone looked at Bai Linchuan. If they wanted to become the first, they had to defeat him.
Bai Linchuan looked over coldly, without even a sword in his hand, but they all shuddered at the same time.
"Is Elder Ding telling a cold joke?"
Only Mo Xue's eyes lit up, but Wei Si looked at Mo Xue worriedly, "Can you... still survive?"
Mo Xue raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, I not only want to survive, I also want to defeat Bai Linchuan and become an inner disciple."
He pointed his sword at Bai Linchuan. The monks all knew that his opponent was Bai Linchuan. Some sighed and shook their heads, while others scratched their heads.
Where does his confidence come from...
The red sun quickly moved from the east to the center, and the scorching white rays turned the human figures into concentrated dots. The air was hot, and the competition arena was surrounded three times.
Soon it was Mo Xue and Bai Linchuan's turn to compete.
Mo Xue held the magic sword, while Bai Linchuan had empty hands. The two stood on the arena, one on the left and one on the right, one black and one white.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Of course it's the eldest brother."
"Why aren't they competing yet?"
"What's the point of just competing? The fun part is, of course, the pre-match threats. The winner takes everything, and the loser walks away with his tail between his legs."
Mo Xie said, "Big Brother, why don't you take this opportunity to propose some conditions?"
Bai Linchuan exhaled slowly: "If I win, I want your sword."
"Okay." Mo Xue agreed lightly.
Bai Linchuan suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, "What are your conditions?"
Mo Xue spun the sword, the wheat ears on the hilt spinning back and forth. He said with a playful smile, "If I win, you will never be able to talk to Little Junior Sister again, not in this lifetime."
"..." Bai Linchuan paused, his face cold, "Change another one."
Mo Xue gritted his teeth, "You're truly in love with me. I can't bear to give you up." He smiled defiantly, his dark eyes rolling, full of evil intent. "If I win, you'll shout in front of everyone that you like me."
“………………”
For a moment, there was silence on and off the court. Mo Xue must have gone crazy, as he was actually looking for death by provoking Bai Linchuan.
Bai Linchuan was frozen in place. The cold air was so intense that it seemed to freeze the sun down. He frowned, not expecting someone to be so unreasonable. "Impossible."
"Tsk." Mo Xue said, "It seems that this competition cannot continue."
Bai Linchuan suddenly understood his intention. He just wanted to prevent this competition from happening.
Mo Xue turned around and was about to walk down from the competition stage.
"Wait a minute." Bai Linchuan stopped him. Why was he panicking? There was no way he could lose to Mo Xue. It didn't matter what request he made.
Mo Xue turned to look at him, and Bai Linchuan stared into those black eyes, "Okay."
Mo Xue smiled triumphantly.
