“Is the weather going to change?”
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but hug his arms and looked up at the sky.
Xue Danrong's eyes were still on the tooth marks on Fang Chaozhou's right hand. Those tooth marks were obviously made by a human, not an animal.
The longer Fang Chaozhou stood there, the colder he felt, so he hurried into the inn and said to Xue Danrong, "Junior brother, thank you for opening the door for me. You should go back and rest."
"Senior Brother asked where Senior Brother was going before." Xue Danrong said coldly.
Fang Chaozhou locked the door and casually replied, "Gilded Cave." He paused for a moment and said, "Oh, I forgot. You probably don't know what that place is."
He just said it casually, and he felt that Xue Danrong had never been very curious. It was not so much that he was not curious, but rather that he did not care about other people's affairs. But he did not expect Xue Danrong to ask this time.
"Gilded Cave? What is that place?"
Fang Chaozhou locked the door and hesitated before saying, "A place to eat, drink and have fun."
"Second Senior Brother." Xue Danrong's voice suddenly became very cold. "Master asked us to go down the mountain, not to eat, drink and have fun. If you continue like this, I will have no choice but to tell Master."
Fang Chaozhou turned around and looked at Xue Danrong's beautiful face with frost. In fact, he didn't know how he had offended Xue Danrong, but seeing that the other party was so angry, he should... apologize quickly.
"Sorry, I won't go there again next time."
He who knows the times is like a salted fish.
Xue Danrong didn't say anything, just turned around and left, as if he didn't want to say another word to Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xue Danrong's back disappear from his sight.
He really didn't want to stay with this junior fellow apprentice. It felt like the air had become thinner.
Fang Chaozhou was prepared to hand over his junior brother if the big devil came to his door, but he never expected that before the big devil came, other people came first.
Fang Chaozhou finally opened his eyes with difficulty after Du Yunxi forcefully lifted the quilt and wiped his face with a cold towel. At this moment, everything in front of his eyes was blurry, and he could only vaguely see a figure swaying in front of him.
"Fifth Junior Brother, was there an underground dragon? Or a fire?" he said in a daze.
Du Yunxi sat down beside Fang Chaozhou's bed. He had seen how lazy his second senior brother was these days. He helped him up and said, "Second senior brother, there's a girl looking for you!"
"Estimate? Estimate what? I don't need to estimate anything." Fang Chaozhou wanted to fall down.
Du Yunxi groaned, hesitated for a moment, and had to pinch his second senior brother's face hard. After hearing an "ah", Fang Chaozhou's eyes finally opened completely, but the place where he was pinched turned red instantly.
Fang Chaozhou's skin was originally fair. Now he was lazy and didn't like to go out. He also ate the beauty pills that Du Yunxi had given him as candy. The more he ate, the whiter and more tender his skin became. But if he pinched it hard, that spot would turn as red as a peach blossom in April.
"Fifth Junior Brother, why are you pinching me?" Fang Chaozhou looked stunned, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
Du Yunxi pursed his lips and finally said, "Second Brother, go downstairs and take a look and you will know."
After Fang Chaozhou washed up and walked to the stairs, he saw a beautiful woman in red sitting opposite his senior brother, and his steps stopped instantly.
Du Yunxi was walking behind Fang Chaozhou. When he saw Fang Chaozhou stop, he also stopped and lowered his voice, "That is the girl who came to see Second Senior Brother. She came early in the morning. She said she had something to tell Second Senior Brother. Big Brother has been with her for a while, but she didn't get any questions out of her. She insisted that you, Senior Brother, should be here."
After saying this, he deliberately looked at Chao Zhou's expression below.
It seems no different from usual.
Fang Chaozhou went downstairs after hearing what Du Yunxi said. The eldest senior brother had sharp eyes and saw him at once. He immediately called out, "Second Junior Brother, come here."
Following these words, the beautiful lady in red sitting on the stool also turned her head. It was none other than Miss Yiyi from the Gilded Cave who had been reading the storybook to Fang Chaozhou for most of the night.
The girl Yi Yi had tears on her face and looked at Fang Chaozhou pitifully. She even stood up, opened her lips slightly, and called out "Young Master" in a lingering and sad voice.
Fang Chaozhou was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" He looked behind him and said uncertainly, "You called me?"
Miss Yiyi nodded with tears in her eyes, "Master, do you still remember me? A few days ago, you gave me a large reward in the Gilded Cave."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people present looked at Fang Chaozhou with somewhat strange eyes. They all knew what the Gilded Cave was. At the same time, most of them also knew that Fang Chaozhou was impotent.
"Remember, your reading voice was pretty good, but why you came here suddenly..." Fang Chaozhou was a little wary after learning from Li Zhu that this Miss Yi Yi might not be a good person.
Especially since he and this girl Yi Yi had only met once, he didn't think that this one encounter was enough to make her come to him.
How did she know he lived here?
The Tianshui Sect has five peaks, and the disciples of each peak have booked an inn separately. That night Li Zhu did not say which peak he was from. In fact, Li Zhu did not know which peak he was from. What’s even more strange is that Fang Chaozhou didn’t even reveal his last name that night. How did this Miss Yi Yi tell his fellow apprentices that she wanted to look for him?
Miss Yiyi wiped the tears from her face with a silk handkerchief, lowered her head slightly, and put on a very weak posture, "Sir, to be honest, I have no choice but to come to you. My mother in the Gilded Cave wants to give me to the rich merchant Liu who lives in the south of the city as a concubine."
"Then congratulations." Fang Chaozhou spoke without thinking.
Miss Yiyi quietly tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, but soon she continued to cry: "My lord, you don't know that the rich businessman Liu is now very old. I really don't want to die. I hope you will have some pity on me."
When the eldest senior brother heard this, he could not stand still and coughed twice, "Miss Yiyi, my second junior brother is a cultivator, and you are an ordinary person. It is not appropriate for you two to be together."
Miss Yiyi immediately said, "I don't dare to hope to be with you, sir. I just want to be a servant beside you."
Fang Chaozhou shook his head, "But I don't need a maid."
When Miss Yiyi heard this, a tear fell from her eyes. She looked delicate and pitiful. If she were an ordinary man, he would probably hold her in his arms and comfort her. However, no one from the Tianshui Sect reacted.
The reason is that they have the sect’s most beautiful lady – the junior fellow apprentice.
After seeing the face of my junior brother, no matter how charming a beauty is, she will eventually become a faded red after the rain, losing her color.
The only one who can deceive the world with his appearance alone is Xue Danrong.
But it wasn't good to let a girl cry here, the eldest brother thought about it and gave Fang Chaozhou a look. Fang Chaozhou didn't understand the meaning of the look until the eldest brother raised his finger and pointed at his eyes and pretended to wipe them, then he nodded with sudden realization.
So, he said to Miss Yiyi in a serious tone, "Miss Yiyi, it's getting late. You should go back early. My brother's eyes are uncomfortable and I need to apply medicine to him later."
Senior Brother: ...
He clearly asked this guy to hand the girl a handkerchief to wipe her tears!
But what no one expected was that when Miss Yiyi heard Fang Chaozhou's words, she sobbed, then quickened her pace, rushed forward and hugged Fang Chaozhou, crying tenderly, "Sir, please have pity on me and accept me."
Before Fang Chaozhou could push away Miss Yiyi, he felt an inexplicable chill behind him.
He paused, slowly turned his head, and met a pair of cold phoenix eyes.
It’s Xue Danrong.
Xue Danrong, wearing a snow-white dress and a shark-belt hair tie, stood on the stairs, looking down at them.
When Fang Chaozhou saw that it was Xue Danrong, he turned back and wanted to push the girl in his arms out, but he didn't dare to touch the other person's body at all. If he used magic, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it well, and then this girl Yi Yi would pretend to be injured and blackmail him completely.
After a lot of struggle, he couldn't get the person out of his arms for a while.
Fang Chaozhou was struggling over what to do, but this scene looked completely different to other people.
Finally, Fang Chaozhou was desperate and looked for help to a junior sister present. The junior sister understood what Fang Chaozhou meant, nodded carefully, and came over to persuade Miss Yiyi, "Miss, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely and let go of my senior brother first. Besides, men and women should not touch each other. If you hold him like this, won't my senior brother be responsible for you?"
Fang Chaozhou: Junior sister, if you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak!
Miss Yiyi raised half of her face from Fang Chaozhou's arms and said tenderly, "I don't need you to take responsibility for me. I am just a weakling. As long as I can stay by your side, I will be satisfied."
"A cultivator should be pure-hearted and free from worldly desires. Besides, he can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. For a mere mortal like you, is there any use in keeping him around?"
The voice belongs to Xue Danrong.
Fang Chaozhou clearly felt the woman in his arms stiffen slightly, and then he saw her leaning her head to look behind him, where Xue Danrong was standing.
