Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 5.7

"You two are dismissed."

Shi Shen gave orders to his two disciples without even looking in their direction. Eyes still on Hiu Liuxian, he gestured with his right hand in the pavilion's direction, "Shixiong, let's go."

Hiu Liuxian nodded with a gentle smile. However, before he left the study, his gaze lingered a bit longer on that unfamiliar small figure.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looks like Ah Zhen picked up a troublesome thing.

The wind blew, bringing along a dance of white pear blossoms and sweet fragrance in the air. The curtains hanging from the roof of the pavilion swayed, revealing two handsome figures sitting down at the tea table opposite each other. Surrounded by beautiful, blooming white lotuses and elegant flying cranes, the image of the two of them painted a romantic picture.

Hiu Liuxian specifically built this place for the two of them to enjoy wine while admiring the moon. This purpose was not said out loud, but every disciple of Bai Xue Peak knew not to linger around here. Even Wu Xinyi, who firmly believed in their brotherly bond, conscientiously took a detour.

It came as no one's surprise when many exciting stories about their rumored love affair took place in this very spot.

With a smile on his face, Shi Shen held the hem of his long sleeve and started pouring tea for Hiu Liuxian. His action was both elegant and practiced, as if he had done this countless times.

Sitting down opposite him, Hiu Liuxian's eyes silently followed that pair of slender hands.

Countless men and women had thrown themselves at him, so he had already seen his fair share of all types of seductions.

And yet just watching the person before him performing such a trivial act had him in a trance. There was an indescribable beauty in the way his white, slender, and long fingers wrapped around the black teacup and the way he held his long sleeve, revealing a small portion of his fair forearm and slender wrist.

It almost looked as if he were provoking him.

Hiu Liuxian's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Zhao Zhen rarely stepped outside, and even if he did, he usually covered himself from head to toe; his skin was so pale that with just a slight touch, it would leave a mark.

To leave his marks on that beautiful body...

Ah, how he wishes he could do so.

Hiu Liuxian's mouth suddenly went dry. He hastily downed the steaming hot tea in one go to quench his thirst. Had it not been for his body being a Yuanying cultivator, he would have suffered miserably.

Shi Shen, who barely put down the teapot, was baffled by the other man's behavior.

''Shixiong, no matter how thirsty you are, please blow on it before downing the entire thing; this is not wine!''

With how powerful he was, Hiu Liuxian no longer remembered the last time someone told him to be careful, and such a trivial matter no less. Nevertheless, he was happy.

''Did you already forget that your Shixiong is a Yuanying cultivator?''

Reaching out to refill the other man's cup, Shi Shen gave him an eye roll.

''Just because you are strong doesn't mean that you don't feel pain!''

Hiu Liuxian never liked to be seen as a weakling in other people's eyes, but surprisingly, he found joy in the way the person before him made a fuss over his well-being.

Just as Hiu Liuxian's smile grew wider, Shi Shen rested the teapot with a light sigh, ''You are already a married man, don't make things harder for my Sister-in-law!''
