Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Why did you hide my portrait?

The Qingguan Sect is located on Xishan Mountain, with towering peaks. The former sect leader lived on the highest peak, while the other elders usually lived in other places.

Logically speaking, Yun Du should have lived in the main peak like the other disciples of the former sect master. However, Wei Xin followed them out of the main peak, stepped on the sword, circled several peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, and finally came to a secluded place.

A clear stream with clear water flows outside the yard. Several bamboo channels bring water into the yard, dripping water into the vegetable plot in the corner. The seedlings are green and tender, full of vitality under the sunshine.

If you didn’t know, you would think you had entered some ordinary person’s vegetable garden.

Wei Xin followed Yun Du and the other man with his head lowered, secretly observing the surrounding terrain. He was caught off guard and bumped into Yun Du's back. He quickly took two steps back, lowering his head respectfully.

Yun Du stopped walking, turned around and glanced at him, then ordered, "Wu Fang, go and stew some braised pork."

The little fat boy immediately went into the kitchen.

So he is a cook?

"What's your name?" Yun Du turned around and asked.

"Anfu." Wei Xin made up a name at random.

I heard that Yun Du doesn't take care of the affairs of Qingguan Sect, so I guess he won't be able to recognize all the disciples, let alone an outer disciple.

"Anfu is a good name. Just wait for me here." Yun Du said.

"good."

Wei Xin stood at the door, listening to the sound of hot oil boiling in the kitchen, and then looked at the furnishings in the main house. There were not many items, but they were very elegant. There were orchids placed by the window, and the vase was obviously an antique.

I just didn’t see the glass bottle.

Yundu hasn't spoken a word since he entered the house. Has he forgotten that he exists?

He coughed and said, "Master Yundu, I don't know what I should do. Please tell me clearly."

After a while, Yun Du took out a broom and handed it to him: "Go and sweep the yard."

Wei Xin took the broom and dragged it on the ground intermittently. Seeing Yun Du coming out and standing at the door looking at him, he turned his back and started sweeping diligently.

Who are you? You want to monitor me even when I am sweeping the ground. Are you so free?

After a while, he heard Yundu turning around and entering the room. He walked all the way to the door, listened carefully, and pretended to wipe the door with a rag. Unexpectedly, the door opened silently. He was so scared that his hand shook and the rag wiped Yundu's body.

He wiped his collar and chest as if nothing had happened, and smiled awkwardly: "Master Yundu, how long has it been since you washed your clothes?"

Yun Du lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a slight smile on his face: "Then you can help me wash it."

"ah?"

After a while, there was an extra piece of clothing in his hand. Yun Du said, "There is a spring in the back mountain. Go there and wash."

Wei Xin felt resentful in his heart and went to the back mountain swearing.

The surroundings were very quiet. He threw his clothes into the water, thinking that if he continued to hide, he would only be doing some washing and rinsing work.

He simply changed back to his original appearance, put on the mask, and returned to the courtyard, only to find the door was locked.

He kicked the door open, and the room was filled with mist and the sound of water.

Tracking the source of the breath, he bent his fingers slightly and pointed them straight at Yundu's neck.

When he was about to touch the opponent, Yun Du flew up, held the sword in one hand to block his hand, and with the other hand pulled the clothes on the screen, and put on his coat in one go.

Wei Xin changed his moves and the two of them started fighting, with a back-and-forth fight.

happy.

Originally he just wanted to test the opponent's strength, but he didn't expect to meet a worthy opponent, which aroused his desire to win, and his moves became more and more brutal.

He curled his lips, and the red blood bead in his body began to tremble. A ball of fire appeared in his hand, and his pupils turned red. Just as he was ready to strike, the other party cast a barrier, wrapping the two of them, and fearlessly flashed to his side, holding down his wrist with all his strength, saying: "You borrowed the power of the red blood bead, but one day you will be devoured by it. Be careful not to be destroyed by it."

Wei Xin frowned, shocked, and didn't know how he knew this.

His red eyes gradually returned to their original color, and he couldn't help but glance sideways: "Do you know who I am?"

Yun Du took off his mask and smiled slightly: "Master Demon, you came from a long way just to peek at me bathing. Isn't that a bit too enthusiastic?"

Wei Xin was stunned. He had been fighting so fiercely that he had completely ignored the fact that he was shirtless. The bathtub had already been broken, and the water had wet the floor, with water droplets splashing everywhere. The room was a mess.

"......"

He stared at the other person's body with disdain, and felt that he had only fought to a draw with the other person, which was a bit embarrassing, so he pretended to be casual and said, "I am not here to take your life today."

"Well, you are here to ruin my reputation." Yun Du said calmly.

"?" Wei Xin's eyes widened, "Explain yourself clearly!"

"It doesn't matter. It's enough that this matter is between you and me. It won't be good if it gets out." Yun Du lowered his voice, seeming to be feeling a little aggrieved.

Wei Xin: "What's wrong with that? I didn't mean it! Besides, you're a grown man, so what's wrong with me watching you take a bath?"

"I'm shy." Yundu said.

"......"

Wei Xin was almost choked to death. Seeing how calm he was, with a smile on his face, how could he be shy at all? !

"Could you please turn around? I want to change my pants. They are wet." Yun Du said.

Wei Xin glanced down, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he pointed his finger in the air. A wave of heat enveloped Yun Du, and Yun Du felt refreshed all over.

"Thank you." Yundu smiled.

Wei Xin frowned: "Why are you pretending? You are a cultivator, it's just a matter of doing it casually, why do you have to switch back and forth?"

"I just want to change into better-looking clothes to meet guests." Yundu smiled.

This is strange.

Wei Xin knew that his notoriety had spread far and wide, and that everyone wanted to kill him, not to mention that the Qingguan Sect wished to grind him to dust.

He never expected that he would hear the word "meeting guests" from the mouth of this first disciple.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at least he felt relieved when hearing it.

As he spoke, Yundu had already changed into a new set of identical clothes.

"......." Wei Xin was speechless, "Is there any difference?"

"It's enough as long as the intention is there." Yun Du said calmly.

Wei Xin sighed, circled around him twice, put his hands around his neck, and asked in a low voice, "How did you recognize me?"

“My Lord Demon, you are so famous that even three-year-old children know you, let alone me.” Yun Du remained calm.

"You also knew that Anfu was me?"

"Oh, so Anfu is you. I'm so sorry." Yun Du looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Pretend.

Wei Xin looked him up and down for a long while, then pressed him, "Since you didn't know I was Anfu, why did you choose me from among so many disciples?"

"Didn't I tell you that you suit my taste?" Yun Du's eyes swept across his face and he smiled faintly.

"Your rule of doing things is to look at people based on their rapport?"

“Sometimes it depends on the appearance.”

"......"

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, Wei Xin let go of his hand, and having watched enough of the excitement, he turned around and left.

"Master Yundu, the braised pork is ready." Wu Fang pushed the door open, carrying the braised pork, but unexpectedly bumped into a strange man. It was obvious that he was not a good person, so he looked at him warily.

Wei Xin was annoyed by this look, and just as he raised his hand and was about to send him to heaven, Yun Du interrupted his spell.

"Wufang's cooking skills are very good. Lord Demon, would you like to stay and taste his braised pork together?" Yun Du asked from behind.

"Only useless people would be so greedy for words." Wei Xin turned around and sneered.

Yun Du just smiled at him, took two steps forward, and saw half a portrait exposed from his collar. It looked familiar, so he quickly took it out.

Wei Xin was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted and reached out to grab it, it was too late.

"Master Demon, why did you hide my portrait?" Yun Du asked with a smile, holding the portrait.

"Who hid it?!" Wei Xin retorted subconsciously.

"A few days ago, I heard from the disciples of the Sutra Repository that our real scene scroll was missing. Did you steal it?"

“It’s not me. It’s really not me this time!” It was Nan Huang who did it!

"Oh, so it was you who hid it."

"......"

Yun Du continued, "I don't know how you stole the scroll, and how you cut out the image of me in the painting and kept it with you."

Wei Xin: “…”

How do you explain this?

There is no explanation at all.

I really suffered a loss this time.

Want to die.

Yun Du: "It turns out that Lord Demon had been planning to spy on me bathing for a long time, tsk tsk."

Wei Xin: ""

"Try to click it again!" Wei Xin raised his hand in anger, wanting to kill the man, but he grabbed his wrist and the portrait returned to his hand.

"Don't be angry, I'll give it back to you." Yun Du raised his eyes and smiled, "But the person in this painting is not clear, why don't I give you a few more of my paintings, which are lifelike, just right for you to look at the paintings and think of the person."

"Bah! Who cares about your shabby scroll? Get lost!" Wei Xin was so angry that he threw the painting in his face and strode away.

"Master Demon, take care."

Wei Xin looked back and saw Yun Du standing at the door with a smile on his face and clear eyes.

The smiles from the outside world towards him were either contempt or hatred, while the smiles from the disciples of Xuanji Sect were mostly flattery.

He couldn't tell whether the smile in front of him was genuine or fake.

If you can't understand, then just stop looking. With a leap, you disappear in the yard.

"Demon... Demon Lord? He is the Demon Lord!" Wu Fang, who was standing aside, had not yet recovered from the shock just now. His legs were shaking and he looked at Yun Du tremblingly. "Master, are you injured? Let's quickly notify the elders!"

Yundu raised his hand and tapped his head gently.

Wu Fang felt dizzy and forgot what he was about to say. He only saw the mess in the house and said anxiously, "What happened here? Where is the little disciple I just brought back? I'll go find him and help clean up!"

"No need, he's gone." Yun Du picked up the portrait on the ground and curled his lips.
