Chapter 33
Mu Qingzhou was originally fond of Shi Anxu, so it was perfect for them to sleep together. Naturally, he wouldn't let Shi Anxu sleep separately from him.
"No need, I have someone I like and this doesn't conflict with it."
Shi Anxu disagreed with Mu Qingzhou's statement, "Junior brother, I think it's better to sleep separately, otherwise it's very irresponsible to your partner. I believe in one person for life. Since you've fallen for someone else, you shouldn't have any entanglements with another person, whether it's a man or a woman. I'll be moving out tonight."
Mu Qingzhou wanted to fight for his right to one last night.
"Okay, then let's sleep in separate rooms. But my senior brother is tired today, so it's not too late to move tomorrow. He hasn't fallen for me yet."
Shi Anxu was indeed very tired today, and Mu Qingzhou was not with his sweetheart. Sleeping together didn't count as betrayal; they were the best of brothers.
"Yes, I am indeed tired today. Let's move tomorrow and go back to rest."
"Senior brother, go back and rest first. I still need to prepare some things."
Shi Anxu nodded, yawning as he said, "Ha~, then I'll head back first."
After watching Shi Anxu's figure disappear into the distance, Mu Qingzhou disappeared back into the darkness.
After leaving the reading area, Shi Anxu did not return directly to the Spirit Residence, but instead went to the Spirit Spring where Mu Qingzhou had soaked last time.
For some reason, he didn't use his spiritual power today, but he felt that his spiritual power was constantly draining away. If he didn't take some remedial measures, he felt like he was going to be flattened.
The spiritual spring on Qin Nian Peak is particularly useful for nourishing spiritual energy, especially for cultivators with top-grade water spiritual roots, who can use the entire spring's power for their own benefit.
However, Shi Anxu has mixed spiritual roots, so he can't get these good things at all, but he can still enjoy the spiritual nourishment.
Half an hour later, Shi Anxu felt comfortable after soaking in the bath, changed into his sleeping clothes, and returned to the spirit house.
Mu Qingzhou had already prepared what he wanted and was sitting by the bed waiting for Shi Anxu.
As soon as Shi Anxu entered the spirit house, he strode up to him and asked, "Senior brother, didn't you come back to rest first? Why are you only returning now?"
Shi Anxu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and replied, "I felt my spiritual energy was draining badly today, so I went to soak in the spiritual spring."
Upon hearing Shi Anxu's words, Mu Qingzhou frowned, his face grim, and grabbed Shi Anxu's wrist, placing his hand on the inside of Shi Anxu's wrist to take Shi Anxu's pulse.
Seeing Mu Qingzhou's strange expression, Shi Anxu also became nervous. He looked at Mu Qingzhou anxiously, worried that Mu Qingzhou would bring bad news as soon as he opened his mouth.
Mu Qingzhou reached behind him, his brows still furrowed, and slowly released Shi Anxu's hand.
Shi Anxu asked anxiously, "How are you? Is there something wrong with my body?"
Mu Qingzhou shook his head. "I can't pinpoint any problems, but it's not entirely without issues either."
Shi Anxu then asked, "Is it because my problem is too serious that you can't figure it out?"
Mu Qingzhou shook his head again, "It's hard to say. It's possible that the problem isn't serious, which is why I only sensed a slight abnormality."
Shi Anxu had no hope for the possibility Mu Qingzhou mentioned. He said, "I'll ask the elders in the sect tomorrow. We can't let the reinforcement of the barrier be affected the day after tomorrow."
Mu Qingzhou: "I'll go with you."
Shi Anxu declined, saying, "No need. Someone still needs to be busy in the reading area. I can go by myself."
Mu Qingzhou knew that this matter couldn't be insisted upon, so he said, "Senior brother, you must tell me the result when you return tomorrow."
Shi Anxu patted Mu Qingzhou on the shoulder and agreed, "Yes, I will. I might even need my junior brother's help to cure my illness."
Mu Qingzhou's voice was hoarse, "With the help of medical cultivators, how could I possibly need to help my senior brother treat his illness?"
Shi Anxu stood up and leaned closer to Mu Qingzhou, asking, "What if I just want my junior brother to help me cure my illness?"
Mu Qingzhou dared not look at Shi Anxu and replied, "Since it is my senior brother's request, I should not refuse."
Shi Anxu smiled and pulled Mu Qingzhou to sit down in front of him. "Then I really will only go to see a doctor, not get treatment. Junior brother, you must cure me."
Mu Qingzhou stared intently at Shi Anxu, "Senior brother, just relax."
Shi Anxu said, "Then I'll wait for my junior brother to treat my illness. It's getting late, let's rest."
Mu Qingzhou nodded, and followed Shi Anxu to take off his clothes and lie down properly on the bed.
Shi Anxu said she was really tired, and she fell asleep as soon as her body touched the bed.
Mu Qingzhou, knowing this was the last chance he would have to share a bed with Shi Anxu, didn't want to waste it by falling asleep.
He cast a sleeping spell on Shi Anxu, putting her into a deep sleep. He then carefully touched Shi Anxu's face and body with his fingers.
Not content with just touching him, he turned Shi Anxu around, making her face him directly, and then carefully inhaled the scent from Shi Anxu's neck.
"Senior brother, it smells so good!"
He pulled Shi Anxu into his arms and placed a wet kiss on Shi Anxu's forehead.
The more Mu Qingzhou looked at Shi Anxu, the more beautiful he found him. He couldn't get enough of looking at him. He kept looking at Shi Anxu until dawn before closing his eyes to rest for a while.
Not long after Mu Qingzhou closed his eyes, Shi Anxu turned over in his arms, rubbed his eyes, and opened them.
Seeing herself sleeping in Mu Qingzhou's arms again, Shi Anxu was still startled, and instantly felt that her decision to sleep in a separate room from Mu Qingzhou yesterday was absolutely correct.
He cautiously glanced at Mu Qingzhou's face. Mu Qingzhou was sleeping soundly, but the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious. Shi Anxu thought it must be because he was a bad sleeping posture that Mu Qingzhou couldn't sleep well.
With such severe dark circles under his eyes, it seems he needs to think carefully before sleeping with others in the future, otherwise he'll keep them awake again.
He didn't know when he developed this bad sleeping habit. He remembered that he used to sleep very peacefully and nothing ever happened. Why is he sleeping worse and worse now?
Can one's sleeping posture be changed through postnatal means?
Upon closer reflection, it's not impossible to change your sleeping posture later in life, which may also be related to how tired you are during the day.
He was awake in Mu Qingzhou's arms twice, both times when he was quite tired the day before.
Yes, he must be too tired, that's why he sleeps so badly.
In that case, being next to Mu Qingzhou would be like being a time bomb.
No, no, he has to move out as soon as possible today. If he stays here any longer, Mu Qingzhou may not be able to get a good rest for many days.
Thinking of this, he carefully got out of Mu Qingzhou's arms, tiptoed to the door, opened it and went out, then gently closed the door behind him.
Shi Anxu had originally planned to move his things away early this morning, but seeing the dark circles under Mu Qingzhou's eyes, he couldn't bear to wake him up and could only go and check what was wrong with himself first.
As the leading sect, Qingyun Sect has many cultivation categories within its ranks, with even a dedicated peak for medical cultivation.
Therefore, if Shi Anxu wanted to find a healer, he had to go to Jishi Peak.
Unfortunately, Qin Nian Peak and Ji Shi Peak happen to be located at the southernmost and northernmost points of the Qingyun Sect's territory, which is one of the reasons why Shi Anxu went straight to see a doctor as soon as he woke up.
Shi Anxu walked to the center of the courtyard, summoned the Falling Petal Fan, and flew into the air by stepping on the fan.
He visualized the map of the Qingyun Sect in his mind and then flew towards Jishi Peak.
The last time I went to Jishifeng was when I was handing out flyers. I came back again in just two days. I wonder what their expressions will be when they see me again?
Shi Anxu sped up and flew towards Jishi Peak, hoping to return as soon as possible. He was worried that Mu Qingzhou wouldn't be able to handle the situation alone while reading.
With Shi Anxu increasing his speed, he quickly flew to Jishi Peak.
Just like last time, as long as they saw his face, they let him into Jishi Peak.
After entering Jishi Peak, Shi Anxu encountered another problem.
Should he consult his martial uncle or his martial uncle's disciple?
The only two people he knows who are good at medicine are his master's wife and his master's uncle.
Shi Anxu felt conflicted. He felt that his symptoms were not particularly serious, and that it was just a sudden leakage of spiritual energy.
He felt that going directly to his martial uncle would be a waste of his talents, but if he didn't go to his martial uncle, he didn't know which disciples of Jishi Peak had better medical skills.
Furthermore, he dared not ask those disciples directly, fearing that they had already harbored deep resentment towards him when he was handing out flyers, but had not shown it to him due to the sect leader's pressure. Now that he needed their help, he was afraid they would cause him trouble.
Forget it, compared to being schemed against by others, it's better to let my uncle use his talents for a bit of fun.
Shi Anxu had come here for medical treatment with Su Qinyi when he was young, so he still remembered the route to find his martial uncle.
He moved swiftly through the peaks, and the disciples he encountered along the way greeted him, making Shi Anxu wonder if he was judging others by his own petty standards.
But since things have already come to this, and he's already on his way to the palace where his martial uncle Mu Yi lives, his martial uncle must have already sensed his presence. It wouldn't be good for him to ask someone else to help him now.
Shi Anxu walked into Mu Yi's palace without pausing his steps.
As Shi Anxu had said, Mu Yi had indeed sensed Shi Anxu's presence early on. He hadn't seen Su Qinyi's disciple for several years, and he wanted to take good care of Qinyi's disciple, so he directly let Shi Anxu into his bedroom.
As soon as Shi Anxu entered the bedroom, he saw Mu Yi sitting at the table with a medical book in his hand. He bowed to Mu Yi and said, "Junior Shi Anxu greets Immortal Venerable Mu Yi."
Mu Yi put down his medical skills and asked Shi Anxu gently, "What brings you here to see me?"
Shi Anxu replied respectfully, "Yesterday, I inexplicably experienced a leakage of spiritual energy."
Mu Yi used his spiritual power to move the stool in front of him, gesturing for Shi Anxu to sit down.
Shi Anxu knew that Mu Yi was going to take his pulse, so after sitting down, he consciously stretched out his hand for Mu Yi to take his pulse.
Mu Yi placed his fingers on Shi Anxu's wrist, and spiritual energy flowed into Shi Anxu's body through his fingers.
Shi Anxu and Mu Qingzhou looked at Mu Yi with the same nervousness they had when they took his pulse.
After circulating in Shi Anxu's body for a full cycle, Mu Yi's spiritual power returned to Mu Yi's body.
Shi Anxu watched as Mu Yi's expression changed from gentle to solemn.
