He Tian, who got a glimpse of Mo Xian’s dark face, spoke in a trembling voice, “Hey… He, he is not planning on killing you, right?”
Knowing the plot, He Tian feels that Mo Xian is indeed capable of killing Shi Shen who is now possessing Zhao Zhen’s body.
However, unlike He Tian, Shi Shen, on the other hand, was nonchalant about this matter. The corner of his lips slightly curled into an imperceptible smile, “Then I am looking forward to it.”
He Tian: “...” Maybe he was not lovesick but just sick in the head?
“Welcome back, Shizun.”
Shi Shen slightly raised his eyes to glance at the young man in front of him.
Wu Xinyi, Zhao Zhen’s Eldest Disciple who is responsible for almost everything in Bai Xue Peak.
He had a clean and neat appearance, neither standing out nor plain. His posture was straight with an amicable expression.
He has just turned 17 years old not long ago but he is about to make a breakthrough to become Core Formation, Middle Stage.
Others would often lament that it was such a shame for a rare talent like him to recognize such an unreliable Master like the Fourth Elder.
After Shi Shen finished taking a shower and changed into a new set of clothes, he summoned Wu Xinyi with a sound transmission to his study.
Shi Shen brought the teacup closer to his lips and slightly blew on the tea before taking a small sip.
“Nothing happened while I was away?”
Wu Xinyi respectfully cupped his hands and slightly bowed, “Replying to Shizun, nothing in particular happened.”
Shi Shen silently gazed at his reflection that appeared on the surface of the hot steaming tea. He absentmindedly asked, “... Did Hiu Shixiong drop by?”
Wu Xinyi didn't notice anything wrong and dutifully replied, “No. After the marriage, the Sect Leader has been busy.”
Shi Shen gave a soft sigh as he put down the teacup, “... I see.”
What followed was silence and Wu Xinyi finally realized that something was off with his Master.
He hesitated for a bit before suggesting, “Should this disciple send a word to the Sect Leader?”
Hearing this, Shi Shen shook his head slightly, “No. It is only right that Shixiong should spend time with his Dao Companion instead of this useless Shidi.”
As if not wanting to continue this topic, he suddenly raised another issue, “How is your progress?”
Hearing this question, Wu Xinyi didn't answer right away.
His Master rarely cared about his progress. If anything, his mood would drop whenever he advanced.
As far as Wu Xinyi remembered, ever since stepping into the Core Formation Stage, his Master no longer guided him.
Wu Xinyi was not a fool and realized that his progress hurt Master’s pride as a senior.
Therefore, when he stumbled upon something he never asked for his Master’s teachings and often solved it by himself in the library.
Despite knowing this, Wu Xinyi still honestly replied, “I might be able to make a breakthrough in a month.”
Just as he was expecting another snarky remark, a soft laughter suddenly broke the heavy air.
“Not bad. Having reached this far without proper guidance must have been hard.”
Wu Xinyi lifted his head in shock only to meet a pair of smiling eyes.
