He Tian, seeing Mo Xian's dark face, spoke in a trembling voice, "Hey... He, he does not intend to kill you, right?"
Knowing the plot, He Tian believes Mo Xian is capable of killing Shi Shen, who is currently occupying Zhao Zhen's body.
Imagine reuniting with your lover only to be killed by them; what a tragedy!
Can we not just have some fluff after all of those dog-blood dramas?!
Unlike He Tian, Shi Shen, on the other hand, was unconcerned about this. His lips curled into an imperceptible smile, "Then I am looking forward to it."
He Tian: “...” Perhaps he was not lovesick, but rather sick in the head.
“Welcome back, Shizun.”
Shi Shen's eyes raised slightly to meet the young man in front of him.
Wu Xinyi, Zhao Zhen's Eldest Disciple, is in charge of nearly everything at Bai Xue Peak.
He appeared clean and neat, neither standing out nor plain. His posture was upright, and he had a pleasant expression.
He only turned 17 recently, but he is already on the verge of becoming Core Formation, Middle Stage.
Others would often lament how unfortunate it was for a rare talent like him to recognize such an untrustworthy Master as the Fourth Elder.
Shi Shen summoned Wu Xinyi to his study with a sound transmission after he had finished showering and changing into new clothes.
He brought the teacup closer to his lips and gently blew on the tea before taking a small sip. He then asked, "So, nothing happened while I was away?"
Wu Xinyi cupped his hands and bowed slightly, "Responding to Shizun, nothing happened."
Shi Shen stared silently at his reflection in the hot, steaming tea. He casually inquired, "... Did Hiu Shixiong stop by?"
Wu Xinyi did not notice anything wrong and simply replied, "No. The Sect Leader has been extremely busy since his marriage."
Hearing this, Shi Shen let out a soft sigh as he set down the teacup, "I see."
Seeing his Master's disappointed look, Wu Xinyi finally realized something was wrong.
He paused for a moment before suggesting, "Should this disciple contact the Sect Leader?"
Shi Shen shook his head, "No. Shixiong should spend time with his Dao Companion rather than this useless Shidi."
Wu Xinyi wanted to say that the Sect Leader would never think of him that way, but Shi Shena interrupted with another question, "How is your progress?"
This time, Wu Xinyi did not respond immediately.
As the person who had spent the most time in Bai Xue Peak, he knew what to do and what not to do to offend his Master.
One of the taboos is boasting about your accomplishments in front of the Master.
That's why since entering the Core Formation Stage, Wu Xinyi has not sought his Master's guidance.
His Master was generous with his resources and never mistreated his disciples, but he became sensitive when it came to cultivation.
Despite knowing this, Wu Xinyi had no intention of lying. Several beats later, he honestly replied, "I may be able to make a breakthrough in a month."
Wu Xingu maintained his bowing posture, prepared to accept any snide remarks or punishment. However, what followed was a soft chuckle.
