Fang Chaozhou estimated the time and thought it was time to go back to the inn, so he cast a spell on Li Zhu who was still talking nonstop. After that, he took off the black gold whip that had been wrapped around his waist again at some point and hung it back on Li Zhu. "Okay, I should go now."
Li Zhumao'er's eyes widened, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be your stepmother." Fang Chaozhou took a look at the barrier he was in and broke Li Zhu's barrier with almost no effort.
Although he couldn't beat Li Yiye, he was more than capable of crushing Li Zhu.
"You are not allowed to leave. I haven't finished talking..." Before Li Zhu finished speaking, he found that the person in front of him disappeared. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could bite Fang Chaozhou.
He was really pissed off.
On the other side, Fang Chaozhou returned to the inn slowly, but he was caught as soon as he entered.
"Second Junior Brother, you are finally back!"
It’s the eldest brother.
The eldest brother grabbed Fang Chaozhou's shoulders and looked him up and down. He turned Fang Chaozhou around and looked him up again. After seeing that he was not injured, he asked, "Where have you been these days?"
Fang Chaozhou uttered an "ah" before slowly saying, "Something unexpected happened. It's a long story. By the way, Senior Brother, when are we going back to Tianshui Sect?"
"You can go back today. Your junior brother has also come back, but he came back earlier than you." said the eldest brother.
Fang Chaozhou didn't know whether Xue Danrong had said he was with him when he came back, so he asked tentatively, "Where is Junior Brother?"
The eldest brother sighed, "As soon as the youngest brother came back, he went back to his room. He has not been here for the past few days. I asked him where he went and what happened, but he didn't reply to me, only saying that nothing happened."
Hearing this, Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief and began to change the subject, "Big Brother, let's go back as soon as possible. I'll go back to my room to pack my things now."
"Wait." The eldest senior brother stopped Fang Chaozhou who was about to slip away, "You haven't told me where you've been these days."
Fang Chaozhou paused, turned around and looked at his senior brother, blinked, and finally made up a lie, "I went to get treatment."
Upon hearing this, the eldest senior brother immediately asked, "What was the result?"
Fang Chaozhou said nothing, but just lowered his head slightly.
As he expected, the eldest senior brother stopped asking questions and asked him to go back to his room to rest first, saying that he would call him when he was about to leave.
Therefore, Fang Chaozhou successfully got through, but when he went up to the second floor, he saw Xue Danrong standing at the corner. The light was dim at the corner, but Xue Danrong, who had changed into a snow-blue brocade robe with wide sleeves, stood there, as if she had a layer of light of her own, with an immortal appearance and a face of makeup.
The handsome young man didn't say anything when he saw Fang Chaozhou, but just stared at him.
Fang Chaozhou felt inexplicably guilty when Xue Danrong stared at him, although he didn't understand why he felt guilty.
"Junior brother." He took the initiative to call the other party.
The young man in the dark frowned slightly, "Where did you go just now?"
"I just walked around and bought some things. Aren't we going back to the sect soon? So I wanted to buy some things to take back." Fang Chaozhou said.
Hearing this, the young man took a few steps forward, but before he reached Fang Chaozhou, Fang Chaozhou took a big step back and said, "Junior brother, I have to go back to the house to pack my things, so I won't talk for now."
After saying this, he turned around and left, not caring about the expression on Xue Danrong's face who was left behind.
Fang Chaozhou felt that Xue Danrong was becoming more and more strange, and he thought that the poison had too great an impact, so he should tell his master about it as soon as possible. So when he boarded the spaceship, he told his senior brother about it.
Xue Danrong is the Master's favorite, and Master loves him to the core. Everyone in Yizhi Peak knows it. When the eldest brother heard that Xue Danrong might not have completely eliminated the Yunjiang Snake venom from his body, he became anxious and immediately reported the matter to the master using the most expensive sound transmission talisman.
As soon as they heard this, they found that their master was already waiting there when they arrived at the gate of Tianshui Sect. When he saw them, he took Xue Danrong away without saying a word.
When Xue Danrong heard his master say that the toxins in his body had not been cleared and that he was going to be taken to heal his wounds and detoxify, he suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Chaozhou in the crowd. The pair of phoenix eyes, which were usually cold, now showed complicated emotions, as if they were hiding something to say to Fang Chaozhou. But when Fang Chaozhou saw Xue Danrong's eyes, he hid slightly behind Du Yunxi.
Xue Danrong clenched his hands quietly under his sleeves, but in the end he said nothing and followed his master.
This time, he was in seclusion for half a month.
During the past half month, Fang Chaozhou finally lived a lazy life again. His master was helping Xue Danrong with his illness, and his eldest senior brother knew that Fang Chaozhou had a hidden illness and would not urge him to practice diligently. Therefore, Fang Chaozhou spent a fulfilling half month of playing when he was tired and sleeping when he woke up.
But the good times are finally over.
Half a month later, Fang Chaozhou was hiding in his cave when he saw the jade plaque hanging on the wall light up.
The master called him.
Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to get up quickly, tidy himself up, tied up his long hair which had not been tied up for half a month, and went to his master.
When he got there, Fang Chaozhou discovered that his master was not the only one calling him. Du Yunxi and others were also there. When Du Yunxi saw Fang Chaozhou, he gave him a look.
After receiving it, Fang Chaozhou nodded slightly in understanding, and when he walked in front of his master, he was very well-behaved.
"Disciple greets Master."
"Chaozhou." The master seemed to be in a bad mood, with a frown on his face. He looked at Fang Chaozhou as if he were his own good-for-nothing child. Indeed, he is a bit useless. If we look at Fang Chaozhou's ranking alone, he only ranked more than 40th, although the reason for his defeat was that he met his junior brother on the ring.
"What did you gain from this trip?" asked the master.
Fang Chaozhou thought for a moment before saying, "I gained a lot from this trip. I learned a lot from the outstanding disciples from Piaomiao Manor and Lingshan Island."
Upon hearing this, the master snorted coldly, "Do you still think that I know nothing? You bought so many magic weapons in Xianglian City, what are you doing? You haven't practiced diligently in the past year, and now you have learned to take shortcuts. Fang Chaozhou, do you still remember the oath you made when you became my disciple?"
Fang Chaozhou: ...
I don’t remember. No, I don’t know. It’s not written in the original book.
When the master saw Fang Chaozhou’s confused face, he became more and more angry. He raised his hand and slammed the table next to him heavily. The table broke into pieces.
After Fang Chaozhou saw it, he immediately stood up straight and lowered his head.
"I don't care what you're thinking now, but from today on, you are not allowed to be lazy anymore. I see that you have never realized anything in your seclusion. So, your senior brother and junior brother have won good places in the conference this time. You can choose who to practice with."
Fang Chaozhou barely hesitated, "Big Brother."
But he didn't expect that after he answered, the master snorted coldly, "Then you can practice with your junior brother. You chose your senior brother so quickly, I guess he usually spoils you a lot."
Later, Fang Chaozhou learned that the disciples who were called over were scolded by the master, and were ordered to practice with the eldest or younger brother. The master also let them choose, and except Fang Chaozhou, the others all chose Xue Danrong. But the master saw who they chose and decided the opposite for them.
Even though Fang Chaozhou struggled before his death and told his master that he was the second senior brother after all, how could he let the younger junior brother supervise his cultivation, he was directly retorted by his master.
"Your junior brother ranked fifth in the conference, and you ranked forty-something. Is there anything wrong with him urging you to practice? If the ranking was not determined by the time you entered the sect, do you think you could be his senior brother? If it was based on your cultivation level, I'm afraid he would call you his junior brother."
Fang Xianyu, who was criticized for being useless, had no hope of turning things around, so he could only follow the instructions and report to Xue Danrong the next morning.
Xue Danrong's cave is located at the northernmost end of Yizhi Peak, which is also the coldest place in Yizhi Peak. When Xue Danrong became a disciple, he chose this place at first sight and gave it a new name——
Know Chunzhou.
There is a word "zhou" in Zhichunzhou because there is a cold pond there. The original book describes that Xue Danrong likes to meditate in the cold pond.
Fang Chaozhou had never been to Zhichunzhou. It was cold in the mountains in the early morning, and the closer to Zhichunzhou it was, the colder it got. This kind of cold was different from the ordinary cold among the people. If a mortal body came here, it would probably not last more than a quarter of an hour. As for the cultivators, they needed to use their cultivation to resist the cold, and they also had to wear thick clothes. After all, they were not real immortals.
Fang Chaozhou knew it was cold here, so he dressed very warmly. But he didn't expect it to be so cold here. The cold air wet his clothes, and the wet clothes stuck to his body, making him feel even colder. Even if he used magic to dry his clothes, they soon became wet again. Along the way, his clothes, shoes and socks were wet and dry, and wet again.
The Tianshui Sect has a rule that unless it is a major matter or unless summoned by the master or other elders, one cannot fly with a sword and can only walk. Fang Chaozhou had a difficult journey, and when he finally arrived in front of Xue Danrong's cave, he felt that his eyelashes were almost frosted.
"Junior brother." He shouted to the cave.
No one answered him, and all around was quiet.
He shouted a few more times, and it was the same.
Fang Chaozhou looked around and saw a large rock next to him. He put several cushions on it and sat down. He was so cold that he didn't want to read the storybook anymore, so he stared into the distance in a daze.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he finally heard footsteps. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a young man in just a single layer of clothing coming from a distance, holding the Broken Water Sword in his hand.
Fang Chaozhou looked at his junior fellow apprentice who was only wearing a single layer of clothing, then looked at himself who was wrapped thickly. After a moment of silence, he wrapped his clothes tighter.
He is old and can't stand the cold.
