Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 740: Cold Master and Sickly Disciple 15

The night enveloped the sect, and everything was silent except for the faint candlelight in Shen Xunzhi's residence.

Shen Xunzhi was lying on the bed with a hint of expectation in his eyes, while Shen Xi was sitting beside the bed, his figure looking particularly warm in the dim candlelight.

Just as Shen Xunzhi expected, Shen Xi agreed to his childish request and told stories of the past in a voice as soft as the gurgling water, trying to coax Shen Xunzhi to sleep, just like the countless quiet nights in his childhood.

During these few days in the sect, Shen Xunzhi deeply felt a different kind of pampering.

As long as his request was not excessive, Shen Xi would agree without hesitation. At first, a hint of doubt rose in Shen Xunzhi's heart, like a tiny ripple on the calm lake.

He didn't understand why his master suddenly became so obedient to him.

However, as the days passed, under the meticulous care of his master, the only trace of doubt, like the morning mist, gradually dissipated under the sunshine and was forgotten by him.

He kept telling himself in his heart: 'I am Master's disciple. Master has always been so kind to me. How could I be so suspicious? This is Master's love for me.'

But the gears of fate turned quietly, and when this day came, Shen Xunzhi finally understood that behind Shen Xi's obedience to him in the past few days, there was a secret that was about to be revealed.

"So Master already knew about this?"

Shen Xunzhi widened his eyes, his face full of grievance, and looked straight at Shen Xi who was sitting opposite him.

When Shen Xi saw his pitiful appearance, his heart moved slightly, and he knew that he should have guessed that he was about to leave.

Shen Xi looked calm. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The faint fragrance of tea spread between his lips and teeth, which seemed to ease some of the reluctance in his heart.

After a moment, he nodded slightly, giving Shen Xunzhi an affirmative answer.

"The rule of every competition is that the top 10 disciples must go down the mountain to gain experience. You won the first place in this competition, and the glory of first place must be accompanied by the responsibility of going down the mountain. This is something you cannot escape."

Shen Xi's voice was low and steady, as if he was stating a very ordinary matter, but there was also a subtle hint of helplessness in it.

"Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shen Xunzhi's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of resentment and unwillingness.

His heart was shouting: 'If you had told me earlier, I would have definitely not competed for the first place... I just want to be with Master, what does this so-called glory have to do with me?'

Shen Xi slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand. The delicate tea bowl lightly touched the table, making a subtle sound, which was particularly clear in this silent room.

His gaze fell quietly on Shen Xunzhi's face, and his eyes revealed a deep insight into everything.

The moment the two looked at each other, Shen Xi seemed to see through Shen Xunzhi's eyes full of grievance and see all his thoughts deep in his heart.

"If I had told you earlier, you probably wouldn't even go to the game."

"Yes, Master is right. If I had known that I would leave you, I would definitely not have participated in that crappy competition. I would not have tried so hard to compete for the first place."

Shen Xunzhi was a little excited, and Shen Xi felt a little helpless when he saw him like this.

"I didn't expect you to try your best to get the first place just for that promise."

Besides, Shen Xunzhi was going to leave Shen Xi and go on a long journey, and Shen Xi's reluctance was no less than his.

He sighed, stood up and walked in front of Shen Xunzhi.

She placed her hand on his shoulder and patted it gently.

"You are already 16 years old. You can leave me and go out to fight for your life. And you will only be gone for a year or two. It's not like you won't come back.

I am not gone just because you come back, we can meet again."

Shen Xunzhi now suddenly realized why Shen Xi had been so nice to him these days.

But when he learned the truth, he was also filled with guilt.

"Master, in order to make me feel better, agreed to all my requests so early on. But because of a little dissatisfaction in my heart, I treated Master like this..."

When he looked up again, the anger in Shen Xunzhi's eyes had disappeared completely, replaced by an expression of grievance and apology.

"I'm sorry, Master. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that... I know you didn't tell me in advance, so you must have your own considerations.

I shouldn't have yelled at you like that."

As he spoke, he pulled Shen Xi's sleeve with his hand.

"I'm sorry, Master, please don't be angry with me."
