Chapter 243: He Huan Sect: Socially Afraid Master vs. Sickly Disciple 18
Ji Xiao wanted it very much, but he still had to pretend to be reserved.
"Master, will you feel too tired from practicing so frequently?"
Quan Jiu waved his hand:
"How could that be? You know the benefits of dual cultivation. Both people who practice it benefit greatly."
In short, you are happy, I am happy, and everyone is happy.
Ji Xiao was delighted as he watched her being defenseless and walking step by step into the trap he had set.
"Master, don't worry. I will practice well."
001: “…”
Quan Jiu was busy chanting the Heart Purification Mantra, but he was not busy.
After witnessing the heat and paranoia in Ji Xiao's eyes when he looked at Quan Jiu, he would never believe that he was a gentle and harmless little white rabbit.
He glanced at Quan Jiu, whose eyes were full of kindness, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
All I can say is that fatherly love is blind.
………
Quan Jiu and Ji Xiao finished their breakfast together and discussed martial arts. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a few shy and handsome young men standing at the door.
When the teenagers saw the open door, they jumped open it like frightened deer.
"What's wrong with you?"
She was wearing a mint green silk dress, her face was like an apricot, and her posture was elegant.
Several young men looked at each other, and finally the one closest to Quan Jiu spoke hesitantly.
"Master Lan, are you still recruiting disciples for the Hehuan Sect?"
"Yes."
Quan Jiu shoulders the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect, and he wishes that as many people as possible would join the Hehuan Sect.
"Are you interested?"
She recognized the identities of several people. They came with the Xiangshan School and stood by to cheer her on during the finals.
"Interested! Of course I'm interested!"
Unexpectedly, Quan Jiu was so easy to talk to. The person who spoke was ecstatic and nodded immediately, fearing that she would go back on her word.
"Master Lan, to be honest, we are all your admirers. During the preliminary round, we thought you were a master, especially the one where you defeated Huangfu Jue. You..."
The man stared at Quan Jiu and started talking nonstop. If Ji Xiao hadn't stopped him, he would probably have been so excited that he would have grabbed Quan Jiu's arm.
Ji Xiao stood aside with a bright and clear look, the smile on his lips growing deeper and deeper, and the black mist in his eyes spread out all over the sky.
Quan Jiu was surrounded by several young men, basking in their enthusiasm:
"Fortunately, Huangfu Jue is actually pretty good among his peers..."
"But we are still not as powerful as Sect Leader Lan. Once we become his disciple, we will practice diligently to make the Hehuan Sect flourish and restore the glory of the eight great sects."
"Yes! We will definitely not bring shame to Sect Leader Lan!"
There are only Quan Jiu and Ji Xiao in the Hehuan Sect, so everyone naturally thinks that Quan Jiu will accept disciples.
Quan Jiu did intend to accept a disciple.
Ji Xiao's background is not simple. Although his specific identity is unclear, he is definitely a local overlord. How could such a powerful and strategic hero be willing to be content with a declining Hehuan Sect in the future?
She had to leave some hope for the Hehuan Sect's revival.
"Aren't you disciples of the Xiangshan Sect?"
She had to find out the identities of these people. If she managed to steal the Xiangshan Sect's people, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"No, we used our connections to come and see the grand spectacle of the martial arts competition at the sect conference, and try our luck to see if we can be noticed by the elders or the head of a certain sect..."
But unexpectedly, he was defeated by the power of alcohol in the end.
Quan Jiu was relieved:
"In that case, you can just stay in Hehuan Sect with peace of mind. After sending off the seven major sects, I will teach you the cultivation techniques."
After hearing Quan Jiu's last words, the smile on Ji Xiao's lips faded.
The man's pupils were covered by a light black mist, and the first glance at them was extremely frightening.
"Master."
He spoke in a deep voice, his tone as gentle as ever.
Quan Jiu didn't notice anything unusual: "A Xiao, what's wrong?"
Ji Xiao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering all the emotions in his eyes:
"My meridians suddenly hurt a little."
Quan Jiu immediately became nervous and grabbed his arm:
"Where does it hurt? Let me see."
Ji Xiao didn't answer, but held her wrist tightly with his backhand. Because he held it too tightly, a large area of the skin on Quan Jiu's wrist turned blue in an instant.
But Ji Xiao seemed not to see it. The black mist in his eyes blocked his sight. He had deep eyes, black hair and red lips, and spoke in a low voice.
"Master, please come into the house and help me take a look..."
"good."
Quan Jiu was anxious to see him, so without any hesitation, he followed him into the house.
The few people who were left behind looked at each other and spoke in surprise.
"Brother Ji Xiao, why do you look so strange today?"
It seemed as if there was an extra layer of coldness all over his body.
"It turns out it wasn't my illusion. When I met Senior Brother Ji Xiao before, he always gave me a warm and friendly feeling. But just now, when he raised his eyes to look at me, I got goose bumps on my arms..."
"He looked at me too, and his eyes were so creepy. I once ran into a top-grade mad wolf beast in the Monster Forest, and its cold eyes were not as scary as Senior Brother Ji Xiao's!"
"You're overthinking it. It's not that mysterious. Sect Leader Lan is still here. How dare Senior Brother Ji Xiao cause trouble?"
"I also think you're overthinking it. Senior Brother Ji Xiao might just be in a bad mood today. Stop making wild guesses."
"That makes sense..."
Several people stared at the closed door and completely dispelled their doubts.
………
The door slowly closed.
The light behind me is blocked out.
Quan Jiu took the initiative to sit on the soft couch and pulled Ji Xiao to sit down.
"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, circulate the Qi in your body, and let me see what went wrong..."
Ji Xiao was 1.88 meters tall and had a large build. Quan Jiu used a symbolic amount of strength but was unable to pull him up for a moment.
She was slightly puzzled and frowned as she looked up at Ji Xiao. However, as soon as she looked up, she met a pair of eyes shrouded in black mist.
Cold and gloomy, revealing deadly danger.
She inexplicably thought of the wolf king staring at his prey in the wilderness, his emerald green eyes flashing with a cold light, as beautiful as a clear emerald without any impurities.
Emeralds are pure in beauty, but once you get caught in them, they can be deadly.
"Ah Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Quan Jiumin sensed the change in his aura.
Ji Xiao's eyes were fixed on her face. He lifted up his robe and sat down in front of her. The two of them sat cross-legged facing each other.
His fingertips, hidden under his robe, sank into his palms, leaving streaks of blood. However, the man remained calm as he spoke in a low, deep voice:
"It's okay, Master, practice your energy first."
Quan Jiu looked at him for a few seconds, and seeing his determined gaze, he closed his eyes helplessly.
Three seconds later.
There was still not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from the opposite side.
She knitted her brows together and opened her eyes again.
When she opened her eyes, her heart skipped a beat and almost stopped.
Just like the classic scene in a horror movie, as soon as you open your eyes, a female ghost suddenly flies onto the TV screen, grinning at you outside the screen.
There are a pair of eyes in front of her.
Ji Xiao was so close to her that with a slight blink of his eyes, their long eyelashes would collide with each other.
