"What are you doing here?"
Sheng Wu's eyes returned to their coldness, she put down her hand, slowly turned around and walked towards the soft couch next to her.
"Come here and twist my hair."
With a flick of his fingertips, a silk handkerchief suddenly appeared in the air.
"yes."
Yu Chenming reached out to take the handkerchief and looked at Sheng Wu's wet hair. He slowly walked forward and stood behind Sheng Wu. After hesitating for a second, he obediently and carefully used the handkerchief to wring Sheng Wu's hair dry.
"I was just tracking down an evil spirit that was digging out people's hearts, and I accidentally entered the Immortal Venerable's room."
"An evil spirit, digging out people's hearts... So, you suspect that the evil spirit has entered my room."
Yu Chenming raised his eyebrows with helplessness, "Immortal Lord, you know that this is not what I meant."
There is also a subtle tenderness beneath the helplessness.
Sure enough, after all these years, Master still hasn't changed his sharp-tongued and difficult-to-please character.
"If he had really gotten in, you wouldn't have let him get away with it. You would have killed him without me even having to do anything. So, it must have been a deliberate trick by that evil spirit. I must have seen it wrong."
He lowered his eagle eyes, carefully picked up a strand of Sheng Wu's black hair, and carefully wrung out the delicate hair. This was the first time he did this, so he was a little unskilled, but he got the hang of it quickly.
Hearing that he had made a mistake himself, Sheng Wu raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looked at the handsome young man behind her through the mirror on the soft couch, and raised her eyebrows.
"Why are you tracking this evil spirit?"
Yu Chenming confessed honestly, "I've heard recently that there's an evil spirit that's digging out people's hearts and causing trouble. I remember the Xianyun Sect's important mission to exorcise demons, so I've been tracking it, and only recently did I get a clue."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu lowered his eyes slightly. He wanted to subdue demons and eliminate evil. Hua Lingjiu was a demon, and Huai Jin was an evil cultivator. He would really be able to do it then.
The two remained silent after that.
In fact, Yu Chenming had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, such as why Sheng Wu was in this brothel, how the other disciples were doing, and how everyone had been doing over the years.
But he couldn't ask these questions, for fear that if he did, he couldn't help but go and meet them.
After his hair was twisted, Yu Chenming took a step back, lowered his head and dared not look around.
"Immortal Venerable, the hair is dry now. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
“…”
But Sheng Wu did not respond.
Just when Yu Chenming couldn't help but look up, his pupils trembled.
"Master!" he called out subconsciously.
Then he suddenly stepped forward and picked up Sheng Wu, who had spit out blood and fell unconscious in front of the desk.
"Master, Master?"
Yu Chenming's breathing tightened. He raised his hand to check Sheng Wu's pulse, only to find that she seemed possessed! Furthermore, her pulse was weak, a symptom of an old injury that had accumulated over the years!
He suddenly panicked, and immediately picked up Sheng Wu easily and placed her on the bed in the inner room. He then took out a pill to stabilize her breathing.
[Phoenix, can you tell what's wrong with my master?]
Yu Chenming immediately contacted his contracted beast, which was a divine beast that had lived for hundreds of years and knew much more than he did.
"Master, this is the Master you spoke of. She is indeed very beautiful and very strong, even stronger than your current Sect Master. How could you bear to leave?" His Phoenix was still teasing.
Yu Chenming's tone darkened. "Don't be so presumptuous! She's my master. What's the point of being a sect leader? Look at her now. She's always been so strong, how could she be so weak?"
Hearing the anger and anxiety in his words, the contracted beast couldn't help but curl its lips. Tsk, it's not like there were no female confidantes who had flirted with him over the years, but I've never seen him care so much about them.
Although thinking so, Fenghuang still checked Shengwu's condition honestly.
In the space, Sheng Wu, who deliberately pretended to be injured and then withdrew his soul to watch the show, listened to Yu Chenming's inner voice, and her red eyes couldn't help but flashed.
Phoenix......
She killed her original contracted beast five years ago, but now Yu Chenming still has a phoenix as a contracted beast. Is this the work of heaven?
Haha, he is worthy of being a good son of heaven. He can even open so many back doors.
It’s a pity that Black Tuanzi fell asleep, otherwise she could ask about the other contracted beasts and kill them all first!
As long as she kills fast enough, Heaven will not be able to open a back door.
[Master, your master's body seems to have been damaged for five years, and there are signs of severe backlash. It seems that she forcefully used some heaven-defying technique, which caused her meridians to revolt. If exploited by someone with ulterior motives, she could easily go astray.]
These things are of course true. If they were fake, how could they have deceived the male protagonist Yu Chenming.
Of course, Sheng Wu's body was 100% shielded from pain, so when she did it herself, she naturally achieved the desired effect.
Painless injury, fooling everyone.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenming's pupils trembled deeply and his expression changed.
"What did you say? Five years?!"
That was the year he became her apprentice! But half a year ago, Sheng Wu's cultivation was very strong, and they had been together for a while without any unusual feelings.
If there was a turning point, it was half a year later when she personally removed the system...
Yes, at that time he only thought about his freedom and Sheng Wu’s strength that was so powerful that it made him a little afraid, but he forgot.
Did I forget to ask her if there would be any price for helping me like this?!
Listening to Yu Chenming filling in his own imagination, Sheng Wu leaned back on the chaise longue with considerable satisfaction, continuing to observe the changes in his expression.
[Yes, it was about five years ago, and she seemed to have some signs of being possessed. Master, didn't you just let the evil spirit that dug out people's hearts come in? Maybe... she and that evil spirit have something to do with each other...]
【impossible!】
Before Fenghuang could finish, Yu Chenming interrupted her coldly.
[Even though Master is ruthless and cold-blooded, he will not associate with evil spirits. You are wrong!]
Seeing this, the phoenix silently shut its mouth. Well, it was the one who spoke too much.
[Then see if there is any way to restore her lost spiritual energy.]
[Master, this is difficult! Her cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of this world. There are very few rare elixirs or spiritual medicines that can cure her.]
