The next day.

Two quarters of an hour at Yin.

"Zhihe, I'm going out."

"Um."

After finishing the seventh hundred breaths, Qin Gengyun stood up, put on his clothes, said something to his wife, and hurried out the door.

As soon as he walked out, the door of the alchemy room next door opened gently, and Liusu, dressed in a nightgown, ran out and also walked out of the door.

From afar, Liusu saw Qin Gengyun's figure coming out of the narrow rain alley and turning left. She smiled and immediately followed him.

I want to see who this mysterious master of yours is.

Not long after Liusu left the house, a tall red figure jumped onto the roof and looked at Qin Gengyun below. Liusu, who was following quietly behind him, frowned slightly.

"really."

Xia Qinglian knew Liusu too well. Liusu asked Qin Gengyun's master several times yesterday, and she knew that this girl was probably going to cause trouble.

So she waited for a while before going out tonight, and sure enough, she caught Liusu doing something bad.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qinglian followed Liusu quietly.

"Is this guy going to leave Yunling Town? So mysterious, haha, it's getting more and more interesting!"

Liusu had no idea that someone was behind her, and she followed Qin Gengyun excitedly, finding it more and more interesting.

Qin Gengyun in the front had no idea that he had turned into a cicada. He ran as fast as he could and soon arrived at the hillside of Yunling Mountain where he had agreed to meet with his master.

I entered the familiar woods, but didn't see my master.

Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and said loudly, "Master, I'm here."

With a rustling sound, only a ball of snow fell from the branches, and there was no sound around.

Qin Gengyun spoke again: "Master, I am late. Please forgive me."

It was still quiet all around.

Liusu hid behind a big tree in the distance, her eyes wide open, the fire of gossip burning in her eyes.

Haha, it’s coming out!

Once I see clearly what this guy's master looks like, I'll go back and tell the Saint.

It would be fine if it was a man, but if it was a woman, I would keep a close eye on him and not let him let down the saint!

However, after waiting for a long time and calling more than ten times, the master still did not show up.

Liusu couldn't help but yawn: "What's going on? Is this guy being fooled?"

Qin Gengyun didn't say anything else. He sat down cross-legged on the ground, took out the secret manual of "Golden Cloud Fist" and began to practice on his own.

Half an hour later, his master still didn't show up. Qin Gengyun didn't get impatient at all. He stood up and started practicing on his own.

For a moment, the fist wind was violent, the light blue fist light flashed, and the momentum was quite shocking.

"Yawn, what? This guy's master taught him this kind of low-level skills?"

Liusu yawned so hard that she almost reached the sky. She stood up in boredom:

"It's boring. I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."

Her figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the distance.

A moment later, Qin Gengyun was circulating his spiritual power according to the "Golden Cloud Fist" technique and swinging his fist when a chill suddenly struck his face.

The master is here!

Qin Gengyun was in high spirits, and blocked with both hands. He was pushed back two steps, but a look of joy appeared on his face:

"Master, you are here?"

He saw the tall, plump red figure standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, speaking in a vague and cold voice:

"Continue, we must master the Golden Cloud Fist tonight."

"Yes, Master, I'm here!"

Bang bang bang!

The sound of surging and exciting movements continued to be heard in the woods.

Progress is too slow.

Xia Qinglian gradually became impatient.

By the time she was ten years old, she had already mastered dozens of low-level martial arts. She could understand simple martial arts like the "Golden Cloud Fist" after just a few glances.

Qin Gengyun practiced for two nights, but only learned most of it.

It's really too slow.

Xia Qinglian, I'm afraid you are too soft-hearted, which is why he is so lazy?

Feeling a chill in his heart, Xia Qinglian raised his cultivation to five points. Qin Gengyun was already having difficulty blocking him, and now he was even more flustered.

He was hit in the abdomen by Xia Qinglian's palm, and the whole person flew up, fell awkwardly on the snow, and spit out blood.

Xia Qinglian was stunned, "You..." The veiled lips paused, and the rest of the words were never spoken.

Qin Gengyun stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, I'm fine, don't worry, let's continue."

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly: "I only used half of my strength and you couldn't stop me. If you are so useless, why should I worry about you?"

After saying this, I was stunned. Why did I call myself a "teacher"?

Xia Qinglian, do you still have any shame?

It doesn’t matter. It’s Qiu Zhihe who is shameless. What does it have to do with me, Xia Qinglian?

At that moment she said coldly: "Continue."

He then attacked again, but this time he was extremely restrained. Whenever he was about to hit Qin Gengyun, he immediately stopped.

"Master, you don't have to hold back. I lack experience in fighting enemies. Please focus on training. Don't worry."

After a moment, Qin Gengyun said.

"Who's worried about you?!"

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly and increased her strength again. Fierce collisions and screams were heard in the woods again.

…

Three quarters past the hour of Mao.

The morning light is rising outside the window.

Qin Gengyun, with scars all over his body, gently opened the bedroom door and walked into the room.

But I saw Qiu Zhihe had already put on her clothes and was sitting beside the bed.

"Zhihe, are you awake already?"

Qin Gengyun was surprised. Qiu Zhihe looked him up and down, frowning slightly:

"Lie down and take off your clothes."

Qin Gengyun was startled and saw the porcelain bowl placed on the bedside. The medicine in the bowl was emitting a strong fragrance. He immediately understood what was going on. He walked to the bed, skillfully took off his clothes and pants, and lay down.

Qiu Zhihe dipped her fingers into the medicine and smeared it on his body.

The medicine was quickly applied to the wounds. When Qin Gengyun was about to get up, a bare hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Don't move."

Then, the slender white palm slowly moved down and gently pressed on his lower abdomen.

"Zhihe, you..."

Soon, a warm current flowed from the palm of his hand into Qin Gengyun's spiritual field, alleviating the injuries caused by his master who had just hit him and caused him to vomit blood.

Half an incense stick later, the wound in Qin Gengyun's spiritual field had healed by 70% or 80%, and Qiu Zhihe's hand finally left.

Seeing Qin Gengyun staring at her blankly, she said coldly:

"sleep!"

After saying that, he got up and left the bedroom.

Qin Gengyun closed his eyes, but his mind kept flashing back to the feeling of his wife applying medicine to him and her soft hands pressing on his lower abdomen.

A smile appeared on his face.

…

The next day.

Midnight.

Alchemy room.

"That guy and the Saintess have both entered the bedroom. He must have started practicing. After he's done, he will go to Yunling Mountain. This time I must keep an eye on him and wait for his master to come out!"

Liusu looked excited and tilted her ear to listen to the noise outside.

As soon as Qin Gengyun went out, she followed him again.

After a moment, the door of the alchemy room was opened and a petite figure walked in.

"Saint? Aren't you... practicing?"

Liusu was surprised.

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "How is your cultivation recovering?"

Liusu chuckled and said, "I have just recovered to the fourth level of Qi training."

Qiu Zhihe moved and a ray of light flew out from her palm. Liusu was startled and quickly stretched out her hand to block it, but the next moment Qiu Zhihe grabbed her neck.

"You are too lazy. You have six months to recover to the foundation-building stage."

After saying that, Qiu Zhihe turned and left.

"Ah? Building a foundation within half a year? Then I won't even be able to sleep!"

Liusu opened her mouth wide. Her cultivation level was more than just foundation building, but she was badly injured in the battle at Tianlu Mountain and needed to slowly recover.

But she is very lazy, so how could she be willing to do hard work?

This time he was forced by the saint and had no choice but to obey.

Liusu started practicing with a sad face.

There was no time to follow that guy now.

Huh?

An idea suddenly flashed through Liusu's mind.

Why did the Saint suddenly force me like this?

Could there be some other reason?
