That night, the stars were shining and a cool breeze was blowing.

It was late at night, but Yuanchu was still awake.

Yuanchu tossed and turned on the couch, as tomorrow would be the day for his apprentice's competition.

She always felt uneasy and couldn't sleep.

She thought about it and decided to give up. When you have insomnia, you can't fall asleep for a long time. It would be fine to sit in the yard, feel the breeze, and admire the moon.

Walking out of the room, a bright moon hung high in the inky black night sky, passing through heavy clouds. The moonlight poured down like flowing water, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Yuan Chu glanced to the side inadvertently and found that there was still a faint light in his little disciple's room.

Could it be that the little disciple hasn't slept yet? It's so late and she still hasn't slept, and she has a competition tomorrow. It's really nonsense. Thinking of this, Yuanchu felt a little angry.

Yuan Chu opened the door carefully, and when he walked in, he saw that the glass lamp in Gu Xi's room was still lit.

Gu Xi was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, indicating that she was meditating and practicing.

Yuanchu sighed: "I didn't force you to take the top spot, so why are you trying so hard? Did I show that I was asking her to take a certain rank?"

Yuanchu raised his eyebrows and began to reflect on his recent words and deeds. It seems that there is no such thing?

And I just emphasized tonight that she shouldn't care about the ranking, but she forgot it so quickly?

"You're still growing at 14, right? You're not afraid of not growing taller if you stay up this late... taller?"

When I first picked up Gu Xi, she was so skinny that she was as thin as a bamboo pole and would fall down if the wind blew. Now she seems to be a little stronger.

As for whether she had grown taller, she was originally roughly at his waist level. Yuan Chu stretched out his hand and gestured up and down twice. Well, she should have grown a little taller.

Yuanchu felt like an old mother, worrying about her little child.

Then she cast a spell. She put her right fingers together and a ray of ice-blue spiritual power emerged from her fingertips. It touched the center of Gu Xi's forehead and forced Gu Xi into a dream.

The sleeping little disciple had her eyes closed, her long and thick eyelashes drooped gently like a feather fan, casting a faint shadow on her eye contour.

Without the intense training, Gu Xi completely relaxed, with a peaceful, quiet and calm face, looking very well-behaved.

Looking at such a well-behaved little disciple, Yuan Chu couldn't help but pinch Gu Xi's face, which was soft and a little elastic.

Yuanchu sighed, "It feels pretty good."

He bent down again to straighten her body, reached out to tuck the quilt for her, and then relaxed his facial features.

She stood up and smiled with satisfaction, her eyebrows curved, then she covered her mouth with one hand and yawned.

After doing this, Yuanchu felt sleepy. He couldn't stand it anymore. It was already Chou time, one or two o'clock in the morning. He was sleepy and had to go back to bed.

As he said this, he yawned again, quickly returned to his room, performed a cleansing spell on himself, then lay down and fell asleep soon after.

So the next morning, when Gu Xi opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed with the quilt neatly covered on him.

Gu Xi sat up suddenly. She remembered that she was meditating before going to bed yesterday. Why is it like this now?

After a while, she realized that apart from the fact that her master had come to her room, she could not think of any other reason.

When she thought of her master, the slight chill that had just risen in her heart slowly dissipated.

She thought about it and realized that this was the Qingqi Peak courtyard and no other unrelated people could enter, so there was no need to be so nervous.

It’s just that her childhood experiences made her more defensive, and she is still often attacked by nightmares. But she has long been accustomed to it, so what does these nightmares matter!

It's only the Mao hour now, 6:30 in the morning, it's still too early.

The competition officially started at eight o'clock, but because the participating disciples had to go to the martial arts arena to prepare first, Gu Xi thought that he should say hello to his master before going to the martial arts arena.

But she couldn't bear to disturb Yuanchu's rest, and she knew that her master would not have gotten up at this time of the day.

Moreover, she knew that her master was a little grumpy when waking up, and Gu Xi didn't want to make Yuan Chu unhappy, so she thought of leaving a message on the door of her master's room.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Yuanchu as soon as she walked out of the room. After she pushed open the door and walked out, she saw her master also walking out of the room. The master and disciple stared at each other in surprise.

In the end, it was Yuanchu who spoke first: "Morning, Xiaoxi."

"Morning, Master," Gu Xi replied after a moment of silence.

Why did Master get up so early? Gu Xi quietly observed the expression on Master's face and found that Master's expression was not much different from usual.

Gu Xi's first reaction was to feel strange. Normally, the master would never get up at this time, so why today...?

My second reaction was feeling touched. I thought that Master must have gotten up so early just for me.

The master should also know that the disciples taking the test need to prepare in advance, so she got up early today for her own sake.

When Yuanchu saw his little disciple, he remembered what happened last night. In fact, he really wanted to ask her why she was still awake so late last night.

But she held it back again, as she thought her disciple would be having a competition soon, so she decided not to blame him.

It would be bad if it ruined her mood and affected her competition. I'd better talk to her about it later.

Then she held her breath in her heart, and finally did not ask anything, and said in a soft voice: "Let's go, your master will accompany you to the martial arts arena."

Neither the man, one big and one small, took the initiative to mention what happened last night. They just went to the martial arts arena together, but went in different directions after arriving at the arena.

Yuanchu was heading towards the viewing platform, while Guxi was heading towards the registration area for the candidates.

In order to prevent cheating in competitions, all competitions must be inspected before they begin.

This is done to prevent people with evil intentions from taking pills that can increase their spiritual power in a short period of time, in order to temporarily improve their cultivation and achieve the goal of getting a place in the competition.

Such situations have occurred in previous competitions, so before the competition, the sect will strictly check the physical condition of the participating disciples and whether they are carrying any illegal hidden weapons, etc., to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition.

Yuan Chu, who was sitting in the viewing platform, couldn't stop dozing off as soon as she sat down. There must be a reason for this. She thought it must be because she stayed up all night last night. She was indeed old and could not stand the long sleep.

Although Yuanchu thought he arrived relatively early, there were already quite a few people arriving at the martial arts square.

About two incense sticks of time passed.

"Today's competition is about to begin," a loud voice woke up the half-asleep Yuanchu.

Yuanchu was startled. Is it finally going to start? Yuanchu was half awake from his nap.

Then she raised her hand and performed a cold wind gesture. A gust of cold wind blew across her face, and Yuanchu's mind became completely clear.

After waking up, she sighed in her heart. She was a cultivator, but she had to rely on this method to refresh herself. It was such a sin.
