Ji Xiuzhu didn't understand what the grudge between Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen was, but it was unexpected that they were so tense after just their first meeting.

The sudden silence caught everyone off guard.

But Ji Xiuzhu was not panicked at all.

She slowly walked to their sides and grabbed their hands.

She said: "I don't know what happened between you two, but I still say that fellow disciples should take care of each other. It is inappropriate to be so tense."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he put Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen's hands together.

Qin Lan and Cui Yunshen looked at each other and shook off Ji Xiuzhu's hands at the same time.

"Master, I don't need his care. As a senior brother, it is my duty to take care of my junior brother." Qin Lan said, turning his head away.

"Me too. I don't need Third Brother's care. My Master is enough for me." After Cui Yunshen agreed, he took Ji Xiuzhu's arm.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu shook her head helplessly. She knew that these two disciples had very stubborn personalities and would not be easily convinced in a short time.

"Forget it, let's go to Zhongzhou first. If you two are going to keep being so stubborn, that's fine. I'm going to take a nap now. If you get to Zhongzhou, remember to call me."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he turned around, found a hammock by himself, jumped lightly, and lay steadily on the hammock.

As the flying boat slowly moved, Ji Xiuzhu gradually fell asleep.

Ji Xiuzhu was dreamless for a moment. It was a rare opportunity for him to relax his body and mind, so he fell asleep very quickly.

Cui Yunshen looked at the sleeping Ji Xiuzhu, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

He gently pushed Qin Lan beside him and whispered, "Third Brother, although you can't stand me, I can't stand you either. But, the journey is long, let's take a rest."

Qin Lan rolled her eyes at him but didn't refuse, and the two of them sat down not far from Ji Xiuzhu.

The flying boat continued to fly forward steadily without any incident.

When Ji Xiuzhu woke up, he found that the sun had already set, and Cui Yun and Qin Lan had fallen asleep leaning against each other.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile, thinking: These two children, who were incompatible just a moment ago, are now leaning on each other. Sure enough, things between children are really hard to understand.

Ji Xiuzhu stood up from the hammock, walked onto the deck and came to the bow of the flying boat. He first stretched his muscles and then looked at the mountains and rivers below the boat.

At this time, the flying boat began to slow down, and then it seemed to have arrived in Zhongzhou.

She looked at the fireworks under the boat and couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back to the time when her eyes had not yet recovered, she had to rely on hearing to see this scene.

Looking at this place now, I can see that it is prosperous and bustling, with people coming and going, and various sounds interweaving together, forming a unique atmosphere.

Ji Xiuzhu was immersed in her feelings when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Cui Yun and Qin Lan had woken up and were walking towards her.

"Master, have we reached Zhongzhou?" Cui Yunshen approached Ji Xiuzhu, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a daze.

"Yes, we are finally here." Ji Xiuzhu said with a smile, "We have arrived in Zhongzhou. Next we have to go to Cui's to find your second senior brother."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub Cui Yunshen's head. After all, the sleepy little puppy who just woke up would always arouse the old aunt's love.

"Master, we are now in Zhongzhou. There are many cities ahead and the flying boat is huge. If we move forward, it may cause inconvenience. Our flying boat can no longer move forward. We have to walk into the city." Qin Lan tried hard to control her emotions and explained to Ji Xiuzhu.

"Okay, then let's get off here." Ji Xiuzhu nodded, then took the two of them off the flying boat.

Cui Yunshen and Qin Lan also jumped off the flying boat and followed her.

After entering the city,

Qin Lan led the way in front, while Ji Xiuzhu and Qin Lan followed behind him.

There were all kinds of shops all around, and Ji Xiuzhu still followed Qin Lan slowly.

But for Cui Yunshen, who had lived in seclusion in the mountains with Ji Xiuzhu for many years, going out on the streets made him very excited.

After a while, he stopped in front of the kite stall and touched the kite.

After a while, he ran to the candy man stall and poked the candy man's cheek with his finger.

Then, when he came to a stall selling cakes, he stopped and stared at a plate of osmanthus cake without blinking.

After Ji Xiuzhu noticed this, he stopped and planned to wait for Cui Yunshen.

Qin Lan also noticed it, so she stopped and stood there looking at Ji Xiuzhu who was waiting for Cui Yunshen.

"Hey, young master, would you like some freshly baked osmanthus cake? It's not expensive, ten cents a portion."

When the pastry shop owner saw that Cui Yunshen was well-dressed, he enthusiastically began to recommend his special pastries to Cui Yunshen.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yunshen first looked at Ji Xiuzhu eagerly, and seeing that she had no intention of objecting, he licked his lips and said, "Master, I want to eat this."

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu smiled, walked slowly to the stall, and asked, "My master and I live in Dongzhou, and we don't have any money. Can you accept spirit stones?"

After hearing this, the stall owner's originally happy face suddenly became excited.

The stall owner quickly packed two servings of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and then came to the two of them with a flattering look on his face, nodding and bowing, saying, "You are a practicing immortal. Since you are an immortal, I will treat you as a kind of relationship with you. I will give you these cakes for you to taste, just as a way to establish a relationship with the immortal."

After the stall owner finished speaking, he stuffed the pastry in his hand into Cui Yunshen's arms.

Cui Yunshen didn't think much about it. After saying thank you, he happily took the osmanthus cake, took a bite impatiently, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at his cute appearance and couldn't help but smile dotingly.

However, she still doesn't like eating other people's food for free.

Then, she took out two spirit stones from her storage bag and threw them onto the stall owner's stall.

"Since you are a mortal, you must have something to support your family. Although my master and I have just arrived here, we cannot accept such a thing for free. I don't know if this spiritual stone is enough to pay off the debt, so you should just accept it."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he walked slowly towards Qin Lan's direction without waiting for the stall owner to speak.

Seeing this, Cui Yunshen didn't care whether he had finished the cake in his mouth or not, and started chasing Ji Xiuzhu with the osmanthus cake in his mouth.

When the stall owner saw the backs of Master Ji Xiuzhu and his apprentice leaving, and then looked at the spirit stones in front of his stall, he couldn't help but be moved.

After all, in the eyes of cultivators, mortals like them are just ants that can be manipulated at will.

When it comes to immortal cultivators, they treat them like their ancestors and have never seen anyone like Ji Xiuzhu and the others who pay for food.

After Cui Yunshen caught up with Ji Xiuzhu, he came to Qin Lan with her.

Qin Lan saw them coming, especially seeing that Cui Yunshen still had osmanthus cake crumbs on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter, little brother, are you so hungry that you even want to eat your face?"

When Cui Yunshen heard Qin Lan's words, his face changed instantly, and then he quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu smiled at Qin Lan and said, "We met a stall owner selling osmanthus cakes over there. Shen'er liked it very much, so she bought some. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why is the division between immortals and mortals so clear in Zhongzhou?"

Qin Lan heard this and shook her head repeatedly.

"Master, you don't know. Zhongzhou and Dongzhou are two different concepts. The people of Zhongzhou value cultivation. This is completely different from the idea of ​​Dongzhou where people live in seclusion. When my second senior brother and I came here, the situation was not so serious.

Maybe something happened during the years I was away, so it became like this. We can ask Second Senior Brother when we meet him later."

After Qin Lan finished speaking, she pointed to a house not far away with a wall that looked like a palace wall and said, "Master, we are here. The courtyard in front is the Cui family."
