Who knows where you are going to harm people next? I must follow you.

Chu Xi thought secretly, and at this moment he didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea.

"???"

What are you doing? I'm going to take care of my business, why are you so clingy?

Mu Ci was almost speechless because of his inexplicable actions. Although she did have some real feelings for the man in front of her in the previous worlds, the male protagonist this time was so young that she really couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Mu Ci glanced at Chu Xi but didn't say much, and followed him.

Chu Xi's injuries had been almost healed by Mu Ci. Whenever he moved around casually, he could smell the same faint fragrance as the person next to him, with a slight hint of medicinal aroma.

Still standing on the white crane, this time Chu Xi stood behind Mu Ci.

He stood straight, with a slender figure. Although he looked like a teenager, after his recent experiences, his height was already tending to surpass Mu Ci.

Chu Xi's eyes were deep, and there was a hint of inquiry in the look he gave the person in front of him.

He suspected that his master might have changed his mind in this life.

When they arrived at another place, they saw from afar a handsome and elegant young man wearing a white immortal robe. He was very elegant and had a kind of immortal air, which did not look like a boy of the same age as him.

When Chu Xi got closer and saw the young man with a tearful face standing in front of Mu Ci, he suddenly had a strong sense of crisis, as if a place that belonged to him was about to be taken away by someone.

Chu Xi couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and the uncontrollable hostility gradually spread from the inside out.

Why does this person look at her like that? He is the first disciple this woman accepted, and he hasn't even looked at her like that. Why does this person look at her like that?

etc……

What on earth is he thinking about?

Chu Xi frowned deeply and secretly spit out the strange idea that suddenly popped up in his mind.

Mu Ci seemed to sense that there was something unusual about the man around her. She turned her head and glanced at him, but the aura on his body disappeared completely the moment she turned her head away. There was no abnormality at all. He was even still the same as usual, with his head slightly lowered. He looked very well-behaved and obedient, just like a little disciple who followed his master.

Mu Ci looked him up and down for a moment, didn't see anything, and looked away.

"This is my new apprentice, Bai Anwu."

"This is Chu Xi, my eldest disciple. He will be your senior from now on."

Mu Ci stood between the two of them, with a serious face, and introduced them seriously.

Bai Anwu smiled and nodded, polite and reserved.

Chu Xi responded with a faint smile, his eyes cold and gloomy.

Seeing the seemingly harmonious and friendly scene between the two, Mu Ci expressed his satisfaction. This new apprentice is very obedient and will be very useful in the future.

That's right, Bai Anwu was hired by Mu Ci to help her manage Baiwu Mountain. This time, she was transmigrated into the identity of the Venerable Baiwu of a large sect, which really made her feel pressured. It's not that Mu Ci was incompetent, but she simply didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she met Bai Anwu.

Their meeting was not a coincidence; Bai Anwu took the initiative to find her.

Before the Immortal Sect Competition, Bai Anwu took the initiative to find Mu Ci and told him directly that he wanted Mu Ci to accept him as his disciple.

Mu Ci saw Bai Anwu's ambition and what he wanted. Although this might endanger her position, to Mu Ci, it was all harmless.

Each of them gets what they need.

However, Mu Ci was satisfied, but Chu Xi was completely dissatisfied.

I don't know why, but I just feel unhappy.

He could clearly see from Bai Anwu's eyes what the other person felt towards Mu Ci. Although there was a smile in his eyes and he was reserved and polite, what was hidden behind them was not just the desire to be his disciple or to occupy the Baiwu Mountain.

Chu Xi sneered in his heart.

So in the days that followed, he acted coldly like a senior brother without even saying hello, allowing Bai Anwu to stand there with an awkward and fake smile every time he saw him.

Oh, Bai Anwu shouldn't be embarrassed, after all, he is so hypocritical.

Although Chu Xi did not treat him well, Bai Anwu soon became well-known in Baiwu Mountain. Several elders and outer disciples were all impressed by him and praised Venerable Baiwu for having such a good disciple.

Chu Xi watched as the emotion towards Mu Ci hidden in Bai Anwu's eyes deepened little by little, and he gradually became unable to sit still.

He even went so far as to do something extremely abnormal and ran directly to Mu Ci, accusing Bai Anwu of his heinous crimes, saying that the other party had a terrible desire to swallow up Baiwu Mountain.

And what will the master do if the enemy really succeeds? He cannot be left alone in the mountains by such a tiger man, and must get rid of him as soon as possible.

Mu Ci felt a headache after listening to these words which were like a child coming to an adult to complain about being wronged. She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed deeply.

"I know."

??? Know? Woman, you knew that and still brought that hypocritical guy Bai Anwu to Baiwu Mountain? Did you become dull because you haven't beaten anyone in a few days?

Chu Xi thought viciously.

Mu Ci glanced at the person standing in front of her. His eyes were dark and she didn't know what he was thinking about. She suddenly felt powerless.

Why has the male protagonist been focusing all his attention on Bai Anwu recently? You should hurry up and practice, as practice is the right way.

"Master is really generous." Chu Xi's words had a rather weird tone.

"???"

Mu Ci didn't expect Chu Xi to be so serious about this matter. He didn't even seem like the silly and obedient disciple he usually was who would accept being beaten or scolded.

“…”

As if realizing that he had accidentally exposed his true thoughts, Chu Xi remained calm and tried to remedy the situation secretly.

"Master is the most powerful person in Baiwu Mountain, so naturally he has to be tolerant of many people." Chu Xi said in a bitch-like tone.

I always feel like there's something wrong with this guy, but I just can't figure out what it is.

After the Immortal Sect Competition, Song Qifeng was directly called away by the Sect Leader, and then left in another mountain. He rarely came to Baiwu Mountain since then.

In short, the feud between Mu Ci and the Sect Leader was thus formed.

Currently, Song Qifeng is still nominally Mu Ci's second disciple, but in reality, both parties are very close, and Song Qifeng has actually switched to another venerable.

Let's just leave this matter here for the time being. Mu Ci knows exactly what kind of person the Sect Leader is. He will definitely find a very good excuse to take revenge on her for what happened to his son Song Qifeng.

After the Immortal Sect Competition, another topic that many immortals focused on was the secret realm.

The top ten in the last Immortal Sect Competition have already qualified to enter the secret realm, which means that the largest sect in the Immortal Sect Competition will bring them in through high-level cultivators.

Since this secret realm was discovered jointly by several major sects, the qualifications to enter the secret realm will be distributed among the major sects. Of course, some will also be allocated to other independent cultivators and other different cultivators.

Mu Ci only received one spot, and she planned to give it to Chu Xi. Originally, there were two spots, but after the quarrel between her and the headmaster, Mu Ci started to be bullied in various ways.

For example, the issue of the quota this time.

But if it is given to Chu Xi, on the one hand, it should be given to Chu Xi both publicly and privately, and on the other hand, Bai Anwu already has a quota in his hand, because Bai Anwu is among the top ten in the Immortal Gate Competition.

But when Bai Anwu came to see Mu Ci, she didn't expect Bai Anwu to say this.

"Master, I actually want to switch places with my senior brother. When the secret realm is opened, you will definitely take my senior brother with you, but I can't do that. I can only follow the monk who is randomly assigned to me into the secret realm alone and helpless."

Bai Anwu smiled slightly, standing tall and thin in front of Mu Ci, and said these words gently. He didn't seem to care at all, but it felt like there was something else between the lines.

But Mu Ci didn't want to think so much. After all, the original intention of letting Bai Anwu come to Baiwu Mountain was to let him slowly help her take care of Baiwu Mountain, and then eventually replace her as the master of Baiwu Mountain.

But now, Mu Ci seemed to feel that something was changing little by little invisibly, such as Chu Xi, Bai Anwu, the future plot, and the secret realm they were about to visit.

Mu Ci no longer cared about what Bai Anwu meant by that day's words. She only knew that when she accompanied Chu Xi into the secret realm and was randomly teleported, there would probably be someone else accompanying Chu Xi. Of course, some advance work had to be done.

"Chu Xi, your master will go with you on this trip to the secret realm." Mu Ci called Chu Xi over.

"Um."

Although Chu Xi responded in an extremely calm manner, the excitement between the lines could hardly be concealed.

Although Bai Anwu himself has this quota, Chu Xi just doesn't intend to take this reason into account.

Chu Xi really despises Bai Anwu, a hypocritical and pretentious smiling tiger all day long.

It was normal that the spot was given to him this time, but Chu Xi was secretly happy.

Mu Ci glanced at Chu Xi and thought about the following plot.

When he arrives at the secret realm that day, it is estimated that the hero will meet many people who may have a profound impact on him in the future. Thinking about it, he suddenly feels like his own cabbage may be eaten by other pigs.

Mu Ci felt a little sad.

"Remember to stay close to me and don't talk to strangers."

Mu Ci thought about it and felt that he needed to say something: don’t pick wild flowers on the roadside and don’t talk to pedestrians on the road casually, as you might run into one of your future concubines.

For now, just stay as good and obedient as you are now.

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth twitched, but he still responded obediently.

Although Mu Ci's explanation really sounded a bit like an illusion of coaxing a child, Chu Xi felt that he might be overthinking it. Of course, this was the only way he could comfort himself.

He can choose not to talk to strangers casually, so can you choose not to accept just anyone as your disciple?

Chu Xi couldn't help but want to say something, but he glanced at the other person's eyes which seemed a little tired, and said nothing more.

The journey to the secret realm is about to begin.
