What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Lin Zhuo leaned on his chair boredly and yawned as he watched Su Ziqi killing everyone on the ring.

This was a competition among the disciples within the sect. Su Ziqi did not use his spiritual energy, or even the Qingyun he had just obtained. He only relied on a light sword to defeat the enemy.

"Admit it." Su Ziqi threw the last disciple out of the field and clasped his hands in fists.

"Master!" Su Ziqi turned to look at Lin Zhuo in the stands, raised his hand and shouted to him.

Lin Zhuo had no choice but to wave to him.

"Okay, Xiao Qing, you are such a good apprentice. I look at you and I am so envious." Cang Yunze leaned on Lin Zhuo's shoulder and pretended to wipe his tears.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Lin Zhuo said with a smile.

"Then forget it." Cang Yunze waved his hand quickly, "I think this kid can't live without you, so I'd better not destroy your master-disciple relationship."

It's so funny, what kind of master-disciple relationship can he and Su Ziqi have?

Ok?

This idea suddenly appeared in Lin Zhuo's mind, making his expression hesitate for a moment.

Why did this idea appear in his mind just now? strangeness.

Lin Zhuo looked at Su Ziqi who ran towards him immediately after winning the first place, and smiled at him. He was very puzzled: Obviously, Xiao Su didn't do anything strange?

......

"Master, are you going out?" Lin Zhuo was packing his luggage in the room when Su Ziqi suddenly broke in.

Lin Zhuo stopped moving and looked at him and frowned unconsciously: "Why don't you knock on the door?"

Su Ziqi's eyes widened in confusion: "But I didn't knock on the door often before. Didn't Master tell me that I can just come in?"

Did I say that? Lin Zhuo thought about it, but didn't remember it at all.

"No matter what, next time you knock on the door, don't lose etiquette." After saying this, Lin Zhuo lowered his head and continued to clean up.

Su Ziqi looked at him, a little aggrieved, but still nodded and said he understood.

"Master, where are you going?" Su Ziqi suddenly remembered the main reason why he came here. When he came back from the training ground today, he heard a disciple saying: It's strange that Venerable Haiqing wants to go out.

"Let's go to the north." After Lin Zhuo finished packing, he put his things in the space, put on his coat, and was ready to set off.

"Master, what about me? Aren't you going to take me with you?" Su Ziqi asked. At the same time, he felt that Lin Zhuo had been a little strange recently.

Recently, Master has always said strange words and done some things that he would never do on ordinary days. What is even more outrageous is that in the past, no matter what, he would say something to himself before going out. As a result, when he went out today, he never said He had heard of it, and even looking at Lin Zhuo's appearance, it seemed that he had no intention of telling him.

"You should practice well in the sect. I will be back soon. You don't need to go with me." Lin Zhuo patted his shoulder, "You can just follow Elder Cang during this period. Be obedient." After that, Lin Zhuo crossed over Su Ziqi and left with his sword.

But Su Ziqi stood there with a sullen face. What was necessary and what was unnecessary? You should tell yourself at least, right? When did I no longer fall within the scope of Master's choice?

Su Ziqi gritted his teeth, summoned his sword, and chased Lin Zhuo.

Not long after they left, Cang Yunze opened the courtyard door and came in. He found that no one was there and couldn't help but exclaimed: Hey, master and disciple, are you kidding me?

......

Lin Zhuo stepped on his sword and controlled it to fly north. On the way, he couldn't help but cross his chest and wonder: "Tell me, why do I dislike Xiao Su so much these days?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhuo was stunned. Who was I talking to just now?

Lin Zhuo couldn't help but squat down and cover his head. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was really uncomfortable.

He felt strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Tsk, I’m annoyed.

Lin Zhuo stood up straight and sighed deeply. Could it be that he was bored after staying in the house for too long? Do we really need to go out as often as Xu Zisu said?

"Hey -" Lin Zhuo hugged his chest and tapped his fingers on his arms. Forget it, let's find a place to relax first.

He stood in the air and clicked, selected a small town and then controlled the sword to land.

Su Ziqi, who was following him, looked at Lin Zhuo scratching his head and scratching his head for a while, then holding his head in distress, and wondered, is Master under a lot of pressure these days?

Then Su Ziqi watched Lin Zhuo's sudden whereabouts, not far north at all. He couldn't help biting his nails. Could it be that the master was in trouble outside?

No, he won't allow it!

.....

Lin Zhuo bought a bunch of candied haws in this bustling town and took a bite, his eyes lit up.

The sourness of the hawthorn and the sweetness of the sugar coating were perfectly blended. Lin Zhuo liked it very much and ate several of them in a short time.

"Xiao Qi, this..." It's delicious!

Lin Zhuo tilted his head, Xiao Qi, who is it?

Su Ziqi, who was following him, scratched the wall with his hands. Who was Xiao Qi that the master called out? !

Lin Zhuo walked aimlessly on the street with the candied haws of sugarcane stick in his mouth.

It's very lively here, but it has nothing to do with me.

Lin Zhuo kept observing the people coming and going. It was clear that his life was very happy in the past, but he always felt that something was missing.

Although both his master and fellow disciples were very kind to him, everyone had their own affairs and could not be with him all the time. Of course Lin Zhuo could understand, as he also liked purity.

His master always said that he was very talented, and studying pharmacology simply wasted all his abilities. However, in fact, he also learned swordsmanship and formations, but there was no need to show them to the outside world.

Otherwise, he will become the one that everyone talks about and loves to show off.

Lin Zhuo didn't want to be someone else's talking point.

As for his brothers, sisters, and Master's other disciples, they always say that they want to catch up in his footsteps, so they have to work harder to practice, and for this reason they are constantly improving their strength.

Everyone is very busy, everyone has their own things to do, and they have their own goals to do and achieve.

It seems that I am alone and cannot find my direction.

Lin Zhuo began to learn to understand and accept; but occasionally, he still felt lonely.

In an accident, Lin Zhuo rescued a young man in the secret realm of fog and flowers. Seeing the boy's sparkling face, his heart softened. After curing him, he decided to accept him as his disciple.

Since then, there have been more people on the medicine mountain.

But what makes Lin Zhuo feel depressed is that his apprentice is very talented and does not need his constant guidance; the apprentice is also very diligent and does not need his own reminders. He works hard every day to practice. In a few years, his strength reaches the level of Jindan. It's late.

Okay, Lin Zhuo is lying down, it's a good thing that he doesn't have to worry about it.

Maybe, I should find something new to do?

Just as he was distracted and thinking, someone suddenly shouted at him: "Sir, be careful!"

Lin Zhuo subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a bright red flower ball heading straight for him.

Just when Lin Zhuo subconsciously reached out to catch it, a big hand with sharp bones suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the side. The flower ball rubbed Lin Zhuo's sleeve and fell to the ground.

Lin Zhuo's eyes were still on the flower ball. Why should I be careful about a flower ball? Is there any hidden weapon on it?

"Hey, who are you? Why are you ruining my good deeds?" Lin Zhuo looked for his voice and saw a woman wearing a wedding dress holding one hand on the railing, pointing to her side and shouting.

It turned out that he was throwing bouquets to find his husband?

"This young master looks unfamiliar, and he doesn't dress like people in this city. You just think that he doesn't understand the rules here and you want to rely on him." The man in black grabbed Lin Zhuo's wrist and said. Tao Lai.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I am as beautiful as a flower. He is the one who earned the money by marrying me!" The woman became anxious.

Seeing the woman so excited, Lin Zhuo wanted to explain to her that he didn't like the woman, but before he could say anything, the man in black pulled Lin Zhuo into his arms and lowered his head.

Not far away, Su Ziqi's eyes turned red when he saw this. This prodigal dared to belittle his master!

His fingers were about to dig into the wall, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to appear in front of Lin Zhuo.

What if, what if Master says that he is not doing his job properly?

In fact, the man was very measured and did not touch Lin Zhuo's skin. He just leaned against his ear and whispered: "I have passed by here several times, and this girl is throwing bouquets every time, especially Seeing a foreigner like you, if you don't want to get married, she and the people behind her will extort enough money from you, and if you agree to get married, the consequences will be, tsk tsk tsk."

Lin Zhuo put his finger between them: Brother, I understand the truth, and I also understand that she may have formed a team to deceive, but you keep talking, why on earth are you so close to me.

Then, the man hugged Lin Zhuo's waist and flew away, leaving only the roar of the strange woman behind him.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" When the man came to the deserted alley and landed with Lin Zhuo, Lin Zhuo asked him.

Even without him, there would be no problem for him, so why should he bother.

"I'm just admiring you, Venerable Haiqing." The man let go of him and bowed slightly towards him: "I am Qi, you will know who I am." He took Lin Zhuo's hand and placed a hand on it. After the kiss, they left.

......

"I'm talking about Xiao Qing, why are you always so distracted when you come back from a trip? Did something happen outside? Do you want senior brother to help?" Cang Yunze waved his hand in front of Lin Zhuo, trying to call him back. Sanity.

"Nothing." Lin Zhuo was still thinking about the man named Qi.

"I understand, is there a peach blossom?" Cang Yunze's expression suddenly turned mean, and Lin Zhuo waved his sleeves at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful that Master and I will file a lawsuit." Lin Zhuo lay on the table and asked him: "How has Xiao Su been doing these two days?"

Su Ziqi has been practicing swordsmanship with Cang Yunze these past two days.

When Su Ziqi was mentioned, Cang Yunze looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhuo felt something was wrong when he saw him like this.

Cang Yunze sighed: "I can't tell, but he was obviously absent-minded during the past two days of practice. His sword was weak and weak, as if he didn't know where the power was."

"How could this happen?" Lin Zhuo frowned. He didn't know what Su Ziqi was worried about in the past two days.

"It just happened after I followed you out and came back." Cang Yunze was helpless, knowing that he should have contacted Lin Zhuo at that time.

"What are you going out for? I didn't take him out?" Lin Zhuo was confused. He hadn't been with Su Ziqi recently.

"Didn't you go to the north two days ago? When I came to look for Xiao Su, I found that he was not there. Didn't he go with you?" Cang Yunze was also confused. Didn't he follow Lin Zhuo and Su Ziqi?

"I went alone." Lin Zhuo said.

"what?"

Cang Yunze wanted to check the details with Lin Zhuo, but unexpectedly, a disciple suddenly opened the door and came in: "The Venerable is not well! Your disciple is possessed by a demon!"

"Who?!" The two were shocked.

"As for your disciple Su Ziqi, when he was in the competition field, the demonic energy suddenly overflowed from his body and his magic power surged. Now the master and the others have controlled him. Go and have a look!" the disciple said.

Su Ziqi? !

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhuo immediately stood up, summoned his sword and went.

"Junior brother! Wait for me!" Cang Yunze shouted.

When Lin Zhuo arrived at the competition ground, it was very quiet.

Su Ziqi had blood at the corner of his mouth and a lot of bruises on his face. He was held in embarrassment by the arms of two elders from the sect.

Lin Zhuo looked at the demonic energy in front of him that was trying to get into his body, and waved it away. It seemed that what the disciple said was true.

Tu Wen, the leader of Wanjian Sect, is a sturdy man. Not only is he physically strong, but his voice is also very rough.

"I've met the leader." Lin Zhuo saluted him.

"Xiao Qing, you're here. Let's take a look at your apprentice. Don't say that we wronged him." Tu Wen pointed at Su Ziqi and asked Lin Zhuo to step forward to find out.

Lin Zhuo walked slowly to Su Ziqi. Su Ziqi looked up at him: "Master..."

Lin Zhuo didn't speak, just put his hand on his wrist and released spiritual power into Su Ziqi's body.

The demonic energy circulated in the reverse direction, and he was no longer a spiritual cultivator.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhuo asked him, wasn't he fine before?

Su Ziqi lowered his head and bit his lips. What could he say that he was a hybrid of human and demon? Said that the demonic energy in his body broke out because he could not stabilize his mentality?

He couldn't speak.

"Xiao Qing, since you also know, please get out of the way." Tu Wen said: "For the sake of the world of cultivation, we have to clean up the door."

Lin Zhuo looked at Su Ziqi who lowered his head and refused to speak, then looked back at Tu Wen. Just when he was about to nod in agreement, he said: "Su Ziqi is young and has never harmed a cultivator. Can you spare his life and just drive him away?" Leave the sect."

This is not my intention!

Lin Zhuo shouted in his heart, so what if Su Ziqi hasn't hurt anyone yet, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future; what will happen if he hurts someone in the future?

Moreover, the cultivation world hates demons because when the demon army invaded the land of the cultivation world, they did not care whether the victim was a cultivator or not. Even if the victim was an ordinary person, they did not stop.

"Xiao Qing, do you know how harmful it will be to our sect if the news of letting people from the demon clan spread out?" Tu Wen frowned and disapproved of Lin Zhuo's words: "You go down first."

Lin Zhuo raised his feet and wanted to leave. He wanted to slap himself after hearing what he said just now, but found that he couldn't control his body.

He could only watch as he suddenly moved and put a talisman on Su Ziqi's body. The next second, Su Ziqi was teleported away.

Grass!

No one expected that Lin Zhuo had such a skill, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late.

"Lin Zhuo, let go of the demon Su Ziqi, who is endangering the world of cultivation, and punish him to face the wall in the dungeon and think about his mistakes." Tu Wen's face was ugly, and he waved his hands to take Lin Zhuo down. How could this man be so confused?

The people who came forward to capture Lin Zhuo were very hesitant. After all, if Lin Zhuo suddenly took action, they would indeed be no match.

"No need, I'll go by myself." Lin Zhuo gritted his teeth. Now he could control his actions again.

Damn it, I somehow took the blame!
