The next day, Zhou Yunsheng clearly felt that his lover was avoiding him. He still looked after him meticulously, but his eyes kept flicking away, and he dared not look at him at all.His eyelids drooped, and his expression was blank. He was becoming more and more like a Buddha with no desires.

This change made Zhou Yunsheng impatient, but also helpless. The more he teased him, the more silent he became. It seemed Zi Xuan had decided to alienate him. Gradually, Zhou Yunsheng decided not to act rashly anymore, and kept his lover at a proper distance. It helped Zi Xuan made him put down his guard and communicate calmly now and then.

It took seven or eight days for them to get out of Cang Lu Mountain, and they came upon a small border town.

"We shouldn't live in the inn. We'd be discovered easily." Zhou Yunsheng saw his lover walking toward an inn behind him and whispered a quick warning.

The hot air from Zhou Yunsheng's mouth blew on Zu Xuan's ears, making his heart tremble. He emptied his mind immediately, nodded his head, and promised to turn to a remote alley. He rented a dilapidated courtyard for two silvers. He first cleaned the beds in the main house, then gently laid Zhou Yunsheng flat on his back, and found a clean quilt in a trunk left by the previous owner to cover him.

"Two silver coins to rent this ruined courtyard for only three days. How rich are the monks in Shaolin Temple?" Zhou Yuncheng lay on the bed and watched his lover sweep the room with relish. He seemed to be accustomed to such things, with a broom and a duster in his hand. After he swept with a flick, the cobweb-covered room was quickly freshened up and looked simple and comfortable.

"What price is appropriate then? This poor monk goes out, and never stayed in an inn, never rented a dwelling, but just stays in a piece of open space. With a batch of stars, and a few breezes, he could stay overnight." Zi Xuan opened his mouth in an indifferent way.

Zhou Yunsheng did not speak. He hooked his lips, and his expression showed a bit of pleasure.

The implication of my lover's words is that I rented this residential building to take good care of you. Don't be suspicious, just stay there.

The bald-headed monk looked very honest, and occasionally talked very awkwardly. It was very interesting.

With a low laugh, he retracted his head into the quilt, intending to sleep comfortably.

Zi Xuan was light on his hands and feet. When the main house was clean, he gently closed the door and continued to clean the courtyard. He also filled two large water tanks. It was not until midday that Zi Xuan finally tidied up and went into the kitchen room with his package to make porridge for the man.

There was nothing in the package except a few clothes and a couple of pieces of silver. The dry food he carried when he went out had already been eaten. He needed to buy some quickly. Moreover, he wanted to find some good medicines to nourish the man.

Zi Xuan first went to the main house and saw that the man was sleeping soundly. Then, he took the silver and prepared to go out. As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw dozens of Jianghu people with knives and swords and evil spirits quickly gathering around him.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately returned to the courtyard. Without saying a word, he picked up the man with the quilt and held him in one arm.

Zhou Yunsheng noticed that strangers were close to him and immediately opened his eyes. The tea-golden pupils were bursting with sudden killing intent.

He had recovered from his wounds and had the toxins removed. While teasing his lover by pretending to be extremely weak, the enemy came to his door automatically, and he could hardly control his inner desire to kill.
