Heavenly Soul Pavilion (Part 3)
Chu Caiwu walked around the Tianhun Pavilion, up and down, and almost broke into Xie Fu's Xianshu Pavilion. On the way, he saw many plaques, including the Medicinal Skills Pavilion, the Soul Skills Pavilion, the Heart Skills Pavilion, and the Culinary Skills Pavilion.
Chu Caiwu couldn't understand the messy pavilion.
She paced hesitantly in the attic. It was so quiet there that even a hair falling out would be deafening. There was not a single disciple there.
Chu Caiwu was not sure whether he had entered a place he shouldn't have gone to.
"Stop turning around, it's so noisy!" A fairy came out from the cooking pavilion, and Chu Caiwu was shocked - it was Wei Yan.
Chu Caiwu turned her head away and wanted to turn around and run away. What if Wei Yan recognized her face?
Wei Yan cleared his throat, pretending to be a teacher, and said seriously: "You are a student of Tianhun Pavilion, right? What are you wandering around here? This...this master can help you find the way."
Wei Yan acted like a teacher, acting extremely serious, and looked straight at Chu Caiwu.
Chu Caiwu failed to escape, but it seemed that she was not exposed - Wei Yan did not even recognize her face.
Chu Caiwu had no choice but to bite the bullet and play along, bowing and saying, "Master, I can't find where the deputy teacher is. Please show me the way."
Wei Yan uttered two words in surprise: "Yin, Zhuo?" She gritted her teeth, her emotions very fluctuating.
Chu Caiwu felt a little guilty, she seemed to know what happened to Wei Yan.
Because Yin Zhuo's pretending to be Ruichen's father in the mortal world has been exposed, Wei Yan must have recognized Yin Zhuo.
In order to conceal his knowledge, Chu Caiwu pretended to ask, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Yan quickly suppressed his expression and said hastily, "Well, it's okay. I'll take you to see him. I also have some teaching questions I want to discuss with him."
Chu Caiwu lowered his head and followed Wei Yan sullenly.
Following behind Wei Yan at this moment, Wei Yan could not see Chu Caiwu's expression. Chu Caiwu's mouth corners were raised, and he was trying to hold back his laughter.
Wei Yan said that he had some questions to ask about teaching, but in fact he went to find Yin Zhuo to question him about Ruichen.
Wei Yan thought Chu Caiwu didn't know and pretended to be serious.
＊Deputy Teacher's Pavilion
Yin Zhuo sat at the desk, tapping on the table out of boredom. He was wondering whether Chu Caiwu would come today.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Three knocks on the door sounded with a sense of pause.
Yin Zhuo did not delay and went to open the door.
Wei Yan's eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to cut Yin Zhuo into pieces. The situation was deadlocked for a moment.
Chu Caiwu wanted to wipe the sweat off his face. It was so awkward that they were already on edge the moment they met.
Moreover, Chu Caiwu wanted to drink the immortal blood and did not want Wei Yan to disturb her or to cause her trouble for the food coupons.
Chu Caiwu hesitated and said, "Two Masters..."
Wei Yan shuddered and came to her senses. She glanced at Yin Zhuo again, but ultimately did not question him. She left a sentence: "If you have anything to ask him first, I have to go back to prepare for class." Then she rushed out of the door in a hurry.
With a bang, the door was shut, and only Yin Zhuo and Chu Caiwu were left in the room.
Chu Caiwu glanced at Yin Zhuo's neck, where the scar was left after she bit him. "Does it hurt?"
Yin Zhuo glanced at his neck: "It doesn't hurt."
Yin Zhuo took out a dagger, his sleeve slid down, revealing a white arm, and was about to slash upwards.
Chu Caiwu pinched the dagger: "No, don't cut me, just take care of myself, I'm not hungry." She swallowed, not hungry to the point of not starving to death.
But she wanted to replenish Yin Zhuo's immortal power, and she was really afraid that he would be drained of his immortal power by her. Especially when he was standing with Xie Fu, Chu Caiwu was afraid that Xie Fu would push him down.
Although Xie Fu would not do such a thing.
Yin Zhuo covered Chu Caiwu's wrist and led her to the table. He pointed to a pile of yellow talismans and said, "You should always carry these with you. First, they can be used for self-defense, and second, they can be used during trials."
Chu Caiwu blinked and looked at the pile of talisman paper: "You... prepared these specially for me?"
In the first chapter, Yin Zhuo saw the shyness of a young girl on Chu Caiwu's face.
Chu Caiwu hugged Yin Zhuo excitedly and murmured happily: "The food coupons are the best! The talisman coupons are also good! Lord Yin Zhuo is the best!"
Yin Zhuo was stunned. The reason for his stunnedness was not because he was held in Chu Caiwu's arms, but because - he guessed wrong.
Chu Caiwu wasn't shy. Yin Zhuo couldn't confirm Chu Caiwu's feelings for him. Perhaps it was the need to drink the immortal blood, or perhaps it was the dependence on the deputy teacher...
Chu Caiwu sensed that something was wrong with Yin Zhuo, and she quickly loosened her arms, saying to herself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
After saying that, Chu Caiwu glanced at Yin Zhuo. He was frozen in place, still not saying anything, and seemed even more... lost?
Chu Caiwu couldn't figure it out. It was not right to hug her, nor was it right not to hug her. What else could she do?
Perhaps, he wanted her to do some serious work?
Yin Zhuo didn't respond, but Chu Caiwu didn't give up. So she got down to business. She leaned close to Yin Zhuo's ear and whispered, "How do I take the Soul-Snatching Lamp?"
The heat was so intense that it was faintly enticing to the ears. Yin Zhuo blushed slightly and said seriously, "There are three trials in total. I will strive to win each one."
Chu Caiwu nodded. She also wanted to win the championship, but that was probably just a pipe dream.
She had never practiced magic. Those noble sons, no matter how dissolute they were, at least knew some magic.
Chu Caiwu felt guilty: "Can I?"
"Knock! Knock!" The knock on the door sounded again, and the man pushed the door open and walked in. He was wearing a loose red robe - it was Xie Fu.
Yin Zhuo unconsciously moved away from Chu Caiwu, and the two of them were separated by a distance.
Chu Caiwu felt inexplicably guilty. It was proper for a disciple and the deputy teacher to stand together, and it did not cross the line.
Yin Zhuo's open retreat was like being caught in a private meeting.
Xie Fu didn't react and went straight to the point: "Soul magic is of utmost importance. Now Ruichen is in the mortal world and there is no one to teach him."
Chu Caiwu pricked up her ears. She knew that the soul technique must be related to the soul-catching cup. She must learn the soul technique well.
What she didn't expect was that the soul magic teacher was Ruichen.
The little Jiu who was bullied by other kids and kept calling her "Mom" was Ruichen.
Now, Chu Caiwu was about to become her soul master, and she felt a little uncomfortable and a sense of separation arose spontaneously.
Xie Fu didn't specify the question, so Yin Zhuo analyzed it and asked, "You mean, I should go to the mortal world and bring back Immortal Lord Ruichen?"
Xie Fu nodded.
Chu Caiwu said excitedly: "Master, can I go? I also want to go and gain some experience!"
Xie Fu didn't allow any objection: "Tomorrow there will be a mental method and cooking skills, you stay and learn."
Xie Fu's words left no room for maneuver.
He was a handsome man, but now he looks like a conservative old man.
Chu Caiwu was secretly angry and did not dare to contradict Xie Fu.
Not only did she want to go to the human world to see what Ruichen looked like now, but she also wanted to buy dozens of crispy ducks. She really couldn't get used to the bland food in the fairy world.
Chu Caiwu looked at Yin Zhuo eagerly. In fact, she was not sure whether Yin Zhuo would speak for her.
After all, she and Yin Zhuo knew each other, and if this was exposed, it would easily ruin the plan to seize the Soul-Capture Cup.
Yin Zhuo accepted it immediately: "If she wants to see it, it would be good for her to go. I can bring Ruichen back today so that she won't be delayed from studying law tomorrow."
Xie Fu said firmly, "No. It's against the rules."
Yin Zhuo dragged Chu Caiwu along, and the two disappeared into the room.
Xie Fu stood there in a daze, helpless.
Xie Fu was an old antique, while Yin Zhuo was the best food coupons, token tickets, and pass tickets! Chu Caiwu had not expected that Yin Zhuo would dare to "fight" Xie Fu on her behalf.
Chu Caiwu suddenly felt that he could act tyrannically in Tianhun Pavilion.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the human world. Bones were exposed on the roadside and the stench of decay filled the streets.
The restaurant was lit with red lights, but there was no one there and it was extremely deserted.
The restaurant was not like this the last time Chu Caiwu came, and there were no corpses scattered around.
The stench of rancidity filled the air, and Chu Caiwu no longer wanted to eat the crispy duck. He poked Yin Zhuo and asked in confusion, "What's going on here?"
Yin Zhuo was used to it: "Plague, a plague that takes away people's souls."
Chu Caiwu bit her lips and dared not breathe. She was afraid that she would be infected with the plague and her soul would be taken away.
Yin Zhuo saw all of Chu Caiwu's frightened little movements.
A little girl came running over, staggering from side to side, just above the height of the people's knees.
Chu Caiwu looked at the little girl and got closer and closer to her.
Chu Caiwu watched the little girl running up and down, slowly turning into a small white skeleton, but still running towards her tirelessly.
Chu Caiwu stepped back and yelled, "Yin Zhuo! I'm scared!"
Yin Zhuo stood in front of Chu Caiwu, leaving his back and arms to her.
A hint of sandalwood rose faintly, a scent familiar to Chu Caiwu, a hint of sandalwood unique to Yin Zhuo.
Chu Caiwu gradually regained consciousness. The soul-taking incident must be related to the bad old man from the immortal clan, and she must not let go of any clues.
Chu Caiwu was unwilling to retreat. He looked at the little girl carefully. Not only was she naked, but her body was covered in ulcers and half of her face was rotten and blurred...
The girl hugged Chu Caiwu's thighs and made a strange "woooo" sound in her throat: "Sister, sister, save me..." The four words were uttered extremely unclearly.
Yin Zhuo subconsciously wanted to stop the little girl, but he found that Chu Caiwu did not dodge and let the girl hug him directly.
Chu Caiwu didn't care at the moment whether she would be infected or not. She only knew how desperate it was for the girl to have no one to turn to for help and to slowly wait for death.
Because she was once the same as this girl.
Chu Caiwu looked at Yin Zhuo. She made up her mind that this was the last time she would ask Yin Zhuo for anything. She would practice immortal arts on her own in the future and save many people like her. The old man in the immortal world deserved to die!
Yin Zhuo realized what Chu Caiwu meant, and before Chu Caiwu could speak, he glanced at the little girl's body.
The soul is gone, and there is no hope of salvation. Now it is not she who drives the girl's body.
Rather, it was the girl's remaining will to survive.
Chu Caiwu's heart trembled: "It's impossible to save her... is it?"
Yin Zhuo just kept silent.
Yin Zhuo looked at Chu Caiwu, who was hunched over, helpless and powerless.
Yin Zhuo was at a loss, and tried to comfort her clumsily: "Please go back, Xiaojiu, and practice well. We will eventually make this matter public."
"Dad!" The voice was old and full of vicissitudes of life. An old man in a purple robe was trembling on the spot.
The old man calls Yin Zhuo dad?
