Fang Chaozhou swallowed the fruit in his mouth. Zhongli Yueshui was too sharp. He had stockpiled many varieties of fruits, but the fruit in his hand was the last Lingzong fruit.
The taste of Lingzong fruit is a bit like zongzi in the mortal world, but not as greasy. This fruit is one of the top ten fruits that Fang Chaozhou likes to eat.
But he had already eaten them all.
After hesitating for a while, Fang Chaozhou looked up at Zhongli Yueshui and said cautiously, "The taste is just average. It's fine if Master wants to try it, but the one in my hand has already been chewed. How about going down the mountain to buy some tomorrow?"
He didn't expect Zhongli Yueshui to agree with the latter sentence, but surprisingly, Zhongli Yueshui actually nodded slightly.
"Then get up early tomorrow morning and go down the mountain."
Fang Chaozhou: “!!!”
He looked at the man opposite him in disbelief, "Are you really going down the mountain?"
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes darkened. "If you don't believe it, there's no need to come down the mountain."
"I believe it, I believe it." Fang Chaozhou felt less pain in his hands when he thought about being able to go down the mountain tomorrow, and his eyes were smiling happily into a line.
He can go down the mountain tomorrow. From what Zhongli Yueshui said, he is allowed to buy things, so he will fill up his storage ring tomorrow. He was in a hurry when he went to the capital last time and he didn't buy anything. There is not much food left in his storage ring. The storybooks were cleaned out by his master and there was not a single one left for him.
Zhongli Yueshui looked at Fang Chaozhou's current appearance and turned away indifferently, "If you don't come tomorrow, then you don't have to go down the mountain."
"Master, I can get up!" Fang Chaozhou answered confidently, but...
The next morning, Zhongli Yueshui had finished his early morning training, bathed and changed his clothes, and returned to his bedroom. The person who said he would get up was still sleeping soundly.
He was still curled up, sleeping close to the cat.
Tu Bai heard the noise and opened his eyes lazily. When he saw Zhongli Yueshui, his eyes meowed softly. Zhongli Yueshui took a look at it, then sat down beside the couch and took Fang Chaozhou, who was still sleeping, out of the quilt.
Fang Chaozhou, who was sleeping in a single layer of clothes, was taken out of the bed. He involuntarily shrank into Zhongli Yueshui's arms for fear of the cold. When Tu Bai saw Fang Chaozhou being carried away, he quickly climbed up, approached Zhongli Yueshui anxiously, and meowed twice.
Zhongli Yueshui ignored it and just took Fang Chaozhou's left hand out. The redness and swelling from yesterday looked even more terrible today, and had even turned purple-red.
He lowered his eyes for a while, then took out the ointment from his sleeve. Although he applied the ointment very gently, the person in his arms still gasped in pain because of the wound. However, because he was too young and sleepy, he could not open his eyes even though the pain was unbearable. He just struggled to pull his hand back.
Zhongli Yueshui frowned, then grabbed Fang Chaozhou's wrist, preventing him from retracting his hand. However, Fang Chaozhou refused to cooperate and even kicked his hand with his foot, as if he wanted to kick away the thing that was hurting him, which would make him feel better.
Tu Bai on the side meowed again.
"I don't need you to teach me." Zhongli Yueshui's expression became a little colder. He lifted the person in his arms a little higher, then cut his finger and put it to Fang Chaozhou's lips.
With the blood sucking, Fang Chaozhou instantly calmed down and became his well-behaved self again.
After applying the medicine, Zhongli Yueshui did not pull his hand back immediately. Instead, he waited until the ointment on Fang Chaozhou's palm was completely absorbed before he withdrew his hand and stuffed Fang Chaozhou back into the quilt.
He turned to look at Tu Bai, "Wake him up. If he doesn't wake up within a quarter of an hour, you are not allowed to sleep with him tonight."
When Tu Bai heard this, he immediately turned around and used his cat face to nudge Fang Chaozhou, nudging him and scratching him with his claws, and meowing non-stop, and finally woke Fang Chaozhou up before a quarter of an hour.
Fang Chaozhou opened his eyes in a daze, staring at the cat's face in front of him for a while, then turned to look at the window next to him, and found that it was bright outside. He was completely awake all of a sudden, and hurriedly got up. As soon as he got up, he found that his left hand didn't hurt anymore.
He looked at his hands in surprise. The palms that were red and swollen before going to bed last night were now clean, as if they had never been beaten.
Fang Chaozhou stared at his hands for a moment, and when he heard Tu Bai's urgent meow, he stopped thinking about his hands and hurried to get the clothes at the end of the bed.
After finally getting his clothes on, his hair became a big problem. His hair was so thick and long that no matter how he combed it, there would always be some hair that slipped through the net. He had already gotten up late, and was afraid that Zhongli Yueshui would be angry and not take him down the mountain. In a hurry, I didn't care about anything else. I put on my boots without tying my hair and ran out.
"Master! Master!" he shouted as he rushed outwards. When he passed through the door curtain, he suddenly bumped into something hard.
He was knocked back and staggered. When he finally managed to stand, he saw two long legs in front of him. Fang Chaozhou paused, looked up along the legs, and saw a face with a slightly frown.
"Master." Fang Chaozhou's voice instantly dropped. "Can we go down the mountain now?"
It turned out that the hard object he had just bumped into was Zhongli Yueshui's leg.
Zhongli Yueshui looked at Chaozhou's hair which was not tied up below him and asked, "Why don't you tie your hair up?"
Fang Chaozhou lowered his head and said, "There's not enough time. I can't tie it properly."
Zhongli Yueshui's frown deepened, and after a while, he finally spoke.
"come over."
When Fang Chaozhou heard this, before he could react, he saw Zhongli Yueshui walking around him into the inner room. He hurriedly followed him and was then forced to sit on the stool next to the dressing mirror.
Zhongli Yueshui touched Fang Chaozhou's hair and tied it up in just a few strokes. After tying it up, he said in a slightly cold voice, "Look in the mirror. Is it okay?"
"Master, I... can't see." Fang Chaozhou's voice sounded innocent. From his angle, he could only see the top of his head, and only a little bit at that.
Zhongli Yueshui paused for a moment, then he picked up Fang Chaozhou and said, "Let's watch now."
Fang Chaozhou's body froze when he was suddenly wrapped up, but he quickly relaxed, turned his head to look at the mirror, and then he fell silent.
Zhongli Yueshui's skill in combing other people's hair is almost the same as his own.
Messy bun.
No wonder he felt that there were too many strands of hair on his face just now, but he still went against his conscience and closed his eyes and blew it, "Master's hair is really beautiful, his skills are first-class, better than anyone else's."
Halfway through blowing, he reached out and wiped his face, pushing the hair that almost flew into his mouth behind his ear.
Zhongli Yueshui frowned, he put Fang Chaozhou down again and pulled off his hairband.
After a while, a bun hairstyle almost identical to the current one appeared.
Zhongli Yueshui: “…”
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
Fang Chaozhou remembered about going down the mountain, so he took the initiative to break the silence, "Master, let's go down the mountain first. If it's too late, all the fruits will be sold out."
Zhongli Yueshui reached out and ripped off his hairband again, saying coldly, "Why don't you come down the mountain when your clothes are in disarray?"
Then, a third identical bun appeared.
Fang Chaozhou looked at Zhongli Yueshui's face in the mirror and smiled flatteringly, "Grandmaster, I really think it's okay. Let's go down the mountain."
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes darkened, and after a while he put Fang Chaozhou back on the ground. He turned and walked out. Fang Chaozhou immediately followed him, and then hung on the threshold when he went out.
Zhongli Yueshui walked out for a distance and heard the voice of "Master" coming from behind him. He closed his eyes, with a look of helplessness between his brows. He sighed softly, then returned and picked up Fang Chaozhou who was hanging on the threshold.
"You walk too slowly, I'll carry you."
At this moment, Fang Chaozhou only wanted to get down the mountain as soon as possible. He no longer cared whether he was hugged or not, so he nodded immediately.
Fang Chaozhou, who had lost his cultivation, was held by Zhongli Yueshui on a golden-winged bird. The wind blowing on his face felt like a knife. He couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face with his sleeves, but this could only block a little bit of the wind.
At this moment, a hand touched the back of his head and applied a little force. The next moment, Fang Chaozhou found that his face was forced to be buried in Zhongli Yueshui's arms.
Zhongli Yueshui stroked Fang Chaozhou's head with one hand and set up a barrier with the other hand.
The flying speed of the golden-winged bird was far beyond the reach of a sword. In almost a moment, Fang Chaozhou felt that the golden-winged bird had stopped. He quickly raised his head and looked around, and found that it had indeed reached the mountain gate.
The disciple guarding the mountain gate was stunned when he saw someone coming down on a golden-winged bird. Then he realized it was the sect master and immediately bowed his head and saluted, "Disciple greets the sect master."
Zhongli Yueshui nodded and walked towards the mountain gate. The disciples waited until Zhongli Yueshui walked far away before they dared to look up. They exchanged glances and whispered quietly.
"The Sect Master rarely comes down the mountain. It feels like many years have passed since I last saw him."
"Yes, but usually I feel dizzy when I see the Sect Master. Why don't you feel dizzy today?"
"Maybe the Sect Master has come down the mountain to stop the pressure. By the way, did you see the little kid in the Sect Master's arms just now? Who is that?"
"I didn't see the face clearly, could it be the clan leader's child?"
"Ah, the sect master's child? I haven't heard that the sect master has a Taoist partner?"
"Is it a bastard?"
Their eyes instantly turned into horror, and then they immediately used sound transmission notes to secretly tell their close fellow disciples. In just half a day, almost all the disciples of Tianshui Sect knew a secret -
It seems that their leader has an "illegitimate child".
Every time Zhongli Yueshui left Tianshui Sect or returned to Tianshui Sect, he would not pass through the small town at the foot of the mountain. The last time he came to this town was when he just picked up Xue Danrong and returned to Tianshui Sect.
At that time, Xue Danrong was young and his parents had both passed away. He went to the town and bought some toys and food for Xue Danrong, but Xue Danrong refused to accept them.
Xue Danrong has been precocious since childhood. He is not only more mature than his peers, but even more mature than people who are much older than him, and his vision is also longer-term.
Speaking of immaturity, Zhongli Yueshui couldn't help but look at the person he had put on the ground.
Since arriving in the town, Fang Chaozhou's eyes have been turning around, looking left and right, and even reaching out to pull his sleeve, "Master, Master, let's go to that store, the cakes in that store are super delicious."
After a while, she patted his legs again, chattering non-stop, "Master, they're selling roasted chestnuts over there! Roasted chestnuts are really delicious, everyone who has eaten them says they're good. Master, do you want to try some roasted chestnuts? I can help you peel them!"
Zhongli Yueshui stared at the obviously excited man with his eyes downcast, his voice was cold but also majestic, "Fang Chaozhou, I didn't say I wanted to buy those messy things."
After saying this, Fang Chaozhou's eyes were obviously disappointed, but he quickly said: "The shop selling fruits is at the end of this street, Master."
When Zhongli Yueshui heard this, he walked forward. He had long legs, so one of his steps was equivalent to three steps of Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou was short, so after just a few steps, the crowd had completely blocked Zhongli Yueshui's figure.
Fang Chaozhou was so exhausted from chasing that he couldn't help but slow down his pace. Zhongli Yueshui must be some distance away from him now. He felt his fingertips starting to go numb.
He looked at his hands and sighed. Fortunately, he knew that Zhongli Yueshui was going to the store at the end of the street. He continued walking forward, but there were so many people, especially many people couldn't see Fang Chaozhou because he was too short.
Fang Chaozhou tried hard to avoid those people and squeeze through the gaps in the crowd. He was extremely careful, but was still knocked down by a person who was rushing forward.
Fang Chaozhou fell to the ground and saw someone was about to step on him. Suddenly, a white hand appeared, grabbed Fang Chaozhou's collar, and pulled him up with force.
In an instant, Fang Chaozhou found himself on the roof.
The person holding him had a familiar scent.
"Why are you alone? Where is the master?"
The young man's cold voice sounded.
