So could it be that the rumor that Venerable Bai Wu favors his second disciple Song Qifeng is false?

This obvious intention of protection really caught everyone by surprise.

Song Qifeng was even directly knocked away by the residual spiritual power released by Mu Ci. He stopped and lay on the ground when he was a hundred meters away.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and it looked like he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

Chu Xi on the other side did not expect this development at all.

He looked at the woman standing in front of him. She was tall and thin.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt something strange in my heart.

This feeling is particularly familiar, as if a long time ago, there was a person who also defended him and protected him so desperately, stood in front of him, and told everyone not to allow anyone to hurt him.

Chu Xi didn't know what to do at this moment. After all, no matter how he planned, he never expected that Mu Ci would stand up and interrupt this life-and-death fight on the spot, and then stand on the opposite side of the headmaster in a tough attitude.

And it seems to be because of him.

What does she want to do?

Chu Xi suddenly felt a little irritated.

After Song Qifeng was knocked to the ground, the head of the sect, who was also Song Qifeng's father, also stood up at this time. He didn't say anything directly, but just asked people to treat Song Qifeng's injury as quickly as possible, and then stop this game and move on to the next game as soon as possible.

From beginning to end, he didn't seem to have any special reaction, as if Mu Ci's incident had no impact on him at all.

However, Chu Xi, who was standing behind, clearly saw the complex hatred flashing in the sect leader's eyes, as well as the murderous aura that was almost turning into reality.

Before Chu Xi could recover from his shock, the woman standing in front of him turned around, grabbed his hand, and led him directly onto a white crane.

Chu Xi was pulled onto the body of the giant white crane and forced to lie flat like a salted fish. He was filled with hatred but was mostly speechless.

He didn't understand why Mu Ci did this, and he subconsciously resisted this feeling of being completely out of control. But at the same time, deep down in his heart, without even realizing it, a lingering feeling of attachment seemed to seep into his heart, eroding all his feelings bit by bit.

The breeze felt very comfortable on my slightly warm face.

The two of them were not very far away, and Chu Xi could clearly feel the anger and anxiety of the person next to him. His nostrils were filled with the faint, cool fragrance of the person next to him, which made him feel safe and comfortable, as if it could dilute all feelings.

Chu Xi's eyes darkened, but the next moment, his throat felt sweet and he frowned.

The sudden surge of warm and bloody air was fiercely suppressed.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his chest and the discomfort from various aspects of his body, Chu Xi finally couldn't help but look at Mu Ci who was standing in front of him with a sullen face and asked.

"Why did you do that?"

He didn't even use the honorific title of "Master" but asked so directly and rudely. His voice was cold and deep, with an undisguised irritation in it.

"No reason."

Mu Ci was standing on Baihe. He heard the voice from the person next to him suddenly. Then he raised his eyelids and glanced at him lazily, without any emotion. He replied him with four cold words.

No reason.

Chu Xi: "..."

I feel like I'm going to be pissed off by this guy.

Although he had not expected to hear any other nice words from this woman at first, when he heard these four perfunctory words, his anger and frustration surged to the top. He almost wanted to jump up and question her harshly why.

This direct approach doesn't seem to work, so it's better to stick with the previous sickly image.

"Master, I am very grateful for what you have done, but aren't you afraid that I will get angry and leave?"

Chu Xi felt that what he said was almost enough to make him vomit. Such a pretentious sentence actually came out of his mouth.

Mu Ci felt that this family was lacking love.

When she looked at the little boy lying there with a pair of wet eyes (caused by the backlash of evil spirit), something in her heart suddenly softened, even completely softened.

"It doesn't matter if it is or not."

Oh, this time there are finally a few more words, but I still feel unhappy.

Chu Xi's mouth twitched.

Mu Ci's words were completely different from her look. Chu Xi even saw a hint of pity in those cold eyes.

Chu Xi sneered again to show his position, and once again criticized himself harshly.

If this woman had any sympathy for him, then she would write his name Chu Xi upside down!

The corner of Chu Xi's mouth curved downward fiercely, and hidden in those moist black eyes that seemed to have a hint of amnesia was a look of disdain.

After a while, when Bai He stopped, Chu Xi found himself in a fairyland that seemed like a paradise. There were all kinds of flowers and plants everywhere, and the scenery looked very beautiful and refreshing, as if his mood would become much better and more relaxed.

And right in front of the flowers and grass, there is a small house with very little supplies inside. From a distance, the house does not seem too far away. When Chu Xi walked in, he saw a different world in the house. There were medical books everywhere, and the air was filled with the fragrance of herbs, which was still refreshing.

"This is..."

Without waiting for Chu Xi to ask Mu Ci, he just said something calmly.

This is my pharmacy, nothing else.

“…”

So does this mean you should shut up?

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth twitched uglyly, and then he was pushed by Mu Ci. There was a huge wooden window, and the bed seemed to be made of medicinal wood. Just by lowering his head slightly, he could vaguely feel the refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Apart from the panic that occurred when Mousse pushed him onto the bed at the beginning, thinking that his chastity might be at risk, now all he was left with was speechlessness and a complete new definition of the person in front of him. It seemed that he had to get to know this person all over again.

It is just an uncertain and false label, but it still ranks among the top few.

As he was now playing the role of a weak, helpless, silly and timid eldest disciple, Chu Xi had no choice but to be neatly placed on the bed by Mu Ci, and then began to apply various medicines to him.

Chu Xi's physical condition was checked out when he took his hand. There was nothing serious. It was just some superficial wounds and a little bit of demonic energy. Although he couldn't figure out why the male protagonist had hooked up with the people from the demon world, these things were for the future and it was none of his business. All he needed to do was to play his role as a master and a guest in the early stage.

Chu Xi was lying on the bed, watching Mu Ci's busy back, and a similar feeling passed through his heart. It was a light warm current, as if a white feather was gently brushing against his heart, exuding a slight warmth.

Chu Xi's eyes were slightly darker, a completely different dark color from before. With curiosity, he approached this person who suddenly became different from the impression he had in his previous life.

"Does it hurt?" Mu Ci treated the injuries all over Chu Xi's body, including the large and small bruises at the corners of his mouth.

His voice was as calm and indifferent as the one in the crowd, but there was always a hint of subtle heartache in it.

Chu Xi panicked for a moment, because the other party did not wait for him to answer and directly said the next word.

"It's your fault." Mu Ci said coldly.

"This immortal sect competition is not mandatory. Don't you know that you can withdraw from the competition? You are the eldest disciple of my White Tiger Venerable. If you tell others, I will lose all my face. If you want to die, there is no need to beat around the bush."

It was rare for Mu Ci to speak to him in such a serious manner. Although her words were a bit unpleasant to the ear, her words revealed her intention to protect Chu Xi.

Chu Xi looked at those clear eyes and his heart trembled.

I couldn't help but say: "Okay."

His voice was slightly hoarse and contained a sense of bewilderment.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Xi immediately regretted it.

Why should he agree with what she said?

I am really full!

When Mu Ci had treated all the injuries on Chu Xi, Mu Ci seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Wait for me to send you to Baiwu Mountain, and you just need to stay there and recuperate."

Chu Xi heard her words and it seemed that she had other things to do, so he subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately changed his expression to a sickly state, and then said to Mu Ci in a false tone: "Master, are you not going back to Baiwu Mountain?"

He said it weakly.

"No."

Mu Ci seemed to have thought of something and paused before continuing, "No, I have something else to do, and I'm going to pick someone up now."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xi's face suddenly darkened for some reason.

There was no trace of tenderness or youthfulness in his dark eyes. Instead, there was an endless abyss within, hiding a mad possessiveness that even he himself was not aware of.

"Who is Master going to pick up?"

Chu Xi asked again weakly.

Mu Ci glanced at him again, and then when he felt that there was nothing else unusual, he replied, "Come pick up your future junior apprentice brother."

Why did the male protagonist suddenly...

In the past, I was as timid as a mouse and didn't dare to say a word to him, but now he asks questions one after another as if a button has been pressed.

The three words "Junior Brother" came out of Mu Ci's mouth so lightly, and they really hit Chu Xi's heart word by word.

This was a completely different trend from his previous life. He remembered that in his previous life, Mu Ci only accepted the two of them as his disciples. Although the treatment of the two disciples was very different, there were indeed only two disciples. How come a new junior brother suddenly appeared in this life? Chu Xi simply ignored the slight sour feeling that suddenly emerged in his heart and felt unhappy.

"There are indeed quite a few people who have caught the Master's eye."

Chu Xi suddenly chuckled softly, with a hint of shyness in her laughter, expressing her admiration, but in fact she was secretly mocking him.

“???” Mu Ci was hit so hard by his words that he knew exactly what went wrong.

The male protagonist is not afraid of being beaten by her. Was she just teasing him?

Mu Ci paused and said nothing.

Well, this is consistent with her character. It is right to ignore him. This guy is really fickle. She can't handle the crazy male protagonist.

"I'm going too."

Chu Xi frowned when he saw her reaction and suddenly added another sentence.
