Yuanchu was decocting medicine in the furnace room when he heard a disciple from the sect tell him that someone outside wanted to see him.

Yuanchu was still wondering who it was, so she asked her disciples to bring the person in.

When I arrived at the yard, I found two little girls, one of whom I seemed to have seen in the training ground next to the dojo in the morning.

Seeing Yuanchu, the girl who looked familiar to Yuanchu took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hello, Elder Yuan, my name is Wei Lingyu" and pointed to the girl next to her, "Her name is Qiu Chaoyun"

After she introduced herself, she said shyly, "We are Gu Xi's classmates. We know what happened this morning and want to come and see Gu Xi. Is that okay?"

After hearing this explanation, Yuan Chu understood. It seemed that the two were good friends of little Gu Xi in school.

"Okay, but she just woke up, so don't disturb her. I'll go get her medicine." Yuan Chu pointed to Gu Xi's room and said to them.

Rumor has it that Master Yuan Feng is aloof and cold, and a very indifferent person. But now it seems that is not the case. It seems that Master Yuan Feng treats Gu Xi quite well.

She has outstanding looks, extraordinary temperament, and a very delicate mind.

"Okay, thank you Elder Yuan." After saying that, Wei Lingyu pulled Qiu Chaoyun into Gu Xi's room.

The two of them went into Gu Xi's room.

"Gu Xi, Chao Yun and I are here to see you."

Gu Xi raised her head when she heard that and found that it was Wei Lingyu and the girl from the morning. She felt a little surprised that they actually came over.

Seeing that Gu Xi wanted to get up, Wei Lingyu went over to help her and let Gu Xi sit up on the couch.

"How are you? I was so worried about you."

Gu Xi smiled at her and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Why aren't you worried? That thunder tribulation is so scary. How come you suddenly started the foundation-building thunder tribulation without any signs?"

Gu Xi frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps it's because of the spiritual power. I was originally a little short of the last stage of Qi Refining. When I was practicing the spiritual power summoning technique, refining the spiritual power for my own use, holding the spirit and concentrating the Qi, and sinking the Qi into the Dantian, I suddenly felt something wrong with my body, and then the thunder tribulation you saw occurred."

Wei Lingyu was a little confused after listening to it. Her big watery eyes unconsciously widened for a moment, and her ignorant expression made her look so cute, but she grasped the key points of Gu Xi's words.

"So you succeeded in building your foundation?"

Gu Xi nodded, "Yes, the foundation has been built successfully."

Wei Lingyu looked even more excited than Gu Xi herself, with an overly bright smile on her face, "Congratulations, our Xixi is amazing."

Qiu Chaoyun next to him also congratulated: "Congratulations."

Gu Xi knew that Qiu Chaoyun must have come to see her mainly with Wei Lingyu, so she politely replied, "Thank you."

After a while, a strong pungent smell of herbs wafted in from the door, and Yuanchu walked in holding a bowl of medicine.

Yuanchu put the bowl of medicine on the bedside and said, "What are you three talking about? You are laughing so happily."

Seeing Yuanchu coming in, Wei Lingyu and Qiu Chaoyun suddenly became a little restrained, probably because of the seniority and age restrictions.

"Congratulations to Gu Xi for safely passing the thunder tribulation and successfully establishing his foundation," Wei Lingyu continued.

There was a hint of laughter in Yuanchu's voice, "Oh, is that so."

"Elder Yuan, since Gu Xi is no longer seriously injured, we will leave now thanks for bothering you today. Goodbye Gu Xi, we will come to see you next time." Wei Lingyu said in a panic.

Gu Xi nodded at them.

"Goodbye, Elder Yuan."

"See you."

After saying that, Wei Lingyu took Qiu Chaoyun away.

Yuanchu couldn't help but wonder, am I some kind of monster?

Why did they leave as soon as I came in? But to be honest, this little girl is quite cute and polite. Yuan Chu has a good impression of her and thinks it is not bad for Gu Xi to make friends with a child like this.

Yuanchu came back to his senses, picked up the bowl of medicine on Gu Xi's bedside, and said, "Come on, Xiaoxi, drink this bowl of medicine."

Gu Xi looked at the bowl of medicine and felt scared. The bowl of medicine was dark and gave off a strong herbal smell, which was very bitter at first glance.

Gu Xi pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and a muffled voice came from under the quilt, "Master, can you not drink? I feel much better now."

“No,” he said, and then he tried to lift her quilt. He failed the first time, and Gu Xi held the quilt tightly.

Although Yuanchu knew that the medicine must be extremely bitter, he had no choice but to drink it. Besides, this magical herb was something he had specially searched for to heal his damaged body.

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. This medicine will help you heal. Get up and drink it."

"No," Gu Xi still resisted.

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Yuanchu was at a loss. He couldn't force his little apprentice to drink it, so he could only try to play the emotional card and pretended to be sad: "It's a pity that I spent so much time boiling the medicine, and my hand was injured because of it, but my little apprentice didn't even want to take a second look."

Hearing that Yuan Chu's hand was injured, Gu Xi immediately let go of the quilt, sat up and looked at her, wanting to check her injuries with a nervous look on her face.

Seeing his little apprentice so nervous, Yuanchu saw that there was hope.

He pretended to raise the hand that was burned by the steam in front of her. ——"Click"

A red and swollen spot suddenly appeared in front of his eyes on the fair and flawless skin at the base of his thumb. Gu Xi looked at the red and swollen spot with heartache in his eyes.

Seeing his little disciple reading so seriously, Yuanchu teased, "What's wrong? Are you worried about me? If you are worried about me, why don't you drink the medicine quickly?"

"Master, how did you get injured?" Gu Xi looked up at her.

"When pouring the medicine, I was accidentally scalded by the water vapor."

"It's okay. Your master is a cultivator. This minor injury will heal quickly after applying some medicine." He then took his hand back.

"Okay, Master, you must remember to apply the medicine." Gu Xi looked at her seriously.

Yuan Chu replied: "Yes", and then pushed the bowl of medicine towards Gu Xi, signaling her to drink it quickly with his eyes.

"No, Master, you have to wipe it off now." Gu Xi's eyes revealed a stubbornness, and he said firmly.

Seeing that his young disciple was so persistent, Yuanchu had no choice but to get the burn ointment from his room and prepare to apply it quickly so that the young disciple could drink the medicine.

Seeing his master applying medicine on his hands so carelessly, Gu Xi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Master, bring the medicine and I will apply it for you."

The young disciple applied the medicine very gently, and Yuanchu hardly felt any pain. When the cooling ointment was applied on the base of his thumb, he felt a cool sensation.

The young disciple was applying the medicine with great concentration, and Gu Xi's thick eyelashes fluttered lightly like butterfly wings.

"Okay." Gu Xi applied the medicine to Yuan Chu.

Yuanchu came back to his senses and remembered to urge his disciple to drink the medicine, "Drink the medicine quickly, or it will get cold."

"This medicine is not bitter, really, it just smells bitter, it's not bitter at all."

Gu Xi had a look of suspicion on his face. He picked up the bowl of medicine that was as black as ink, looked at his master's expectant eyes, and then made up his mind to put it to his mouth.

The taste of the medicine spread in the mouth, a bitter taste like tangerine stems sliding across the throat, even the root of the tongue was numb, the bitterness spread to the bottom of the heart, making people shudder.

Seeing that his little disciple had finished drinking all the medicine, Yuan Chu was satisfied.

The medicine was bitter and astringent. Gu Xi felt like she had been cheated. She looked at her master with resentment. Her master was so mean and a big liar!

Seeing his little disciple's face wrinkled up, lips slightly pursed, staring at him with resentful eyes, he thought he was quite cute, and Yuan Chu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Xi felt that she was being teased by her own master, "Master, you are still laughing!"

Her laughter was like the sound of ethereal wind chimes, light and cheerful, her eyes sparkled with joy, and she was like a cat that had stolen some fish, with the corners of her mouth curved into an arc.

Gu Xi turned her head away and said, "Master, if you laugh again, I will ignore you."

Yuanchu pressed the corners of his mouth and tried to stop laughing. He reached out and poked his little apprentice's angry face, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I won't laugh at you anymore. Look at this."

Gu Xi turned his head away and didn't look at her, just groaned.

Yuanchu held an open box of peach blossom pastry in front of her. This box of peach blossom pastry was the one she had just made in the morning but had not had time to take away. She took it back while decocting the medicine.

The air was filled with the faint sweet aroma of peach blossom pastries. Gu Xi lowered her head and looked down. It was an opened box of peach blossom pastries with exquisite appearance and attractive color.

He handed it to her and said, "Here, this is made specially for you by your master." He then shook the box of peach blossom pastry left and right in front of her and said, "Little Gu Xi, don't be angry, okay?"

Hearing Master say this, Gu Xi didn't believe it. He thought that Master must be greedy. But it would be a waste not to eat it. Gu Xi took the box of peach blossom cakes, picked up a piece, and took a bite out of spite.

Yuanchu looked at Gu Xi eating the peach blossom cake he made and breathed a sigh of relief. Did she think she was coaxed?

When she took a bite, it was sweet, but not as crispy as she had imagined. Gu Xi was a little confused, but she didn't ask.

Actually, Gu Xi doesn’t really like sweets, but she thinks that as long as it’s made by her master, she can finish it…

Master always uses such means to deceive me, and I am willing to be fooled. I don’t know how many times this has happened. Gu Xi feels a little annoyed.

Gu Xi thought that she was really being taken advantage of by her master, but she wanted to just keep playing with her master, and she would be willing to do so even if she had to be fooled by her master for the rest of her life.
