self-cultivation separation

The fourth junior brother and other senior fellow apprentices had already gone back to the house to rest early, but Xu Qingxiu couldn't fall asleep, so he went to the courtyard with a jug of wine to watch the moon.

Not long after, there were footsteps, and he turned around, it turned out to be the second senior brother.

The second senior brother said: "Can't sleep? Which girl are you thinking about? Come and tell the senior brother, the senior brother has been wandering around for many years now, and he still knows a lot of friends in the cultivation world."

Xu Qingxiu, who was full of melancholy, was interrupted by him, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "No."

The second brother said: "I see that you look out of mind when you are at the wine table. If you don't have it, you are thinking of spring. You want to have it but you don't have the opportunity."

Xu Qingxiu had nothing to say, so he could only lower his head and drink silently.

To be honest, he has grown up so much, he has no chance to like any girl, and he has never even touched a girl's hand. Ren's daughter is five years old - but he can't tell his brother about these things no matter what.

----------

That incident was really an accident.

At that time, he and Mu Lingshen came out of the ancient magic circle and arrived at a Baicao Valley full of exotic flowers and plants.

There were many dangers in the magic circle, Muling Shen was beaten by the poisonous scorpion because he killed the ancient poisonous scorpion king, he was poisoned and unconscious, Xu Qingxiu had no choice but to carry him on his back.

Mu Lingshen's face was pale and his lips were dry.Xu Qingxiu found a flat and open place in the valley and put him down, touched his lips, and thought to himself that it had been three days since Muling Shen had been poisoned, and the celestial energy in his body was disordered.

He is not stupid, he knows that the valley is full of exotic flowers and weeds, he does not know their efficacy and dare not eat them casually, so he walked two steps out of the hole, and happened to see a fruit tree half a person's height, with sparse leaves on it, and two pairs of fruits ——The fruit is quite big, and the two grow together on one branch, with a strange shape, Xu Qingxiu didn't dare to reach out to pick it for a while.

At this time, a big gray rabbit jumped out, jumped up, reached the pair of fruits growing in the lower place, and then ran away with the fruits.

The creatures in this valley are quite spiritual, Xu Qingxiu watched the rabbit pick the fruit, guessed that the red fruit was non-poisonous and edible, so he picked the remaining pair, ate one by himself, and mashed the other to Mu Ling Shen.

Then Xu Qingxiu set up a simple protective circle at the entrance of the cave, and leaned against Muling Shen to rest.He was exhausted from running all the way, and this time he slept very deeply. He didn't open his eyes until midnight when he felt the movement of people around him, but he felt a sense of depression surging around him.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Mu Ling Shen Ban sitting up, with his head down, his expression was blurred, and there seemed to be strange lines on his face.

Xu Qingxiu was not awake yet, just about to rub his eyes and look again, he opened his mouth to ask what happened to Mu Lingchen, and if he felt uncomfortable, but he was firmly held in his arms by the person in front of him, and then he felt his belt being torn off , Muling Shen neatly covered his eyes with his belt.

At that time, Xu Qingxiu was still a newcomer through and through, and he didn't even understand what Muling Shen was doing to him. He just felt very ashamed, ashamed and annoyed, feeling weird and uncomfortable all over his body, and felt that Muling Shen was really bad. Yes, I thought silently with grievances, even if you have a good family background, talent, good looks, everything... you can't bully people like this, right?

Strange to say, Mu Lingchen's poison was cured on the second day, and his complexion returned to normal. He packed up everything silently with a sullen face, and even found the herbs he needed.

But Xu Qingxiu didn't even dare to look at him.

Muling Shen asked him what he ate for himself, Xu Qingxiu lowered his head and told the truth.

Mu Ling pondered for a while, and said: "This place is full of spiritual energy. It should be the place where Yin and Yang meet, so that so many treasures of heaven and earth can be bred. If I'm not mistaken, the fruit should be the legendary Yin-Yang Fairy Fruit. Those who ate..."

"Stop, don't talk..." Xu Qingxiu interrupted him in embarrassment. He also guessed that the abnormal state of the two should be the fault of the fruit. In the final analysis, it was his fault. It was all his fault that this happened. , I should also apologize to Mu Shaozong.

But he couldn't say a word of apology, and every time he thought about it, he felt so ashamed that he was about to burn, and he didn't even dare to think about it—thinking of Mu Lingchen biting his ear and making him call him husband, and he was still obedient He did so—and this was just an insignificant detail of that night, so he felt ashamed to face Mu Lingchen again, so naturally he didn't want to mention it again.

On the way out of the valley, he has been deliberately avoiding the opening order, and when speaking, he lowers his head to avoid his sight, just hoping that everyone will pretend that this has never happened, and forget it.

Mu Lingshen was hesitant to speak along the way, but every time he brought up the topic, he saw Xu Qingxiu blushing as if he was about to cry, so he couldn't say anything, and still put on an indifferent expression with a sullen face.

So when the two groups of people met, what the second senior brother saw was the stalemate of the two factions ignoring the other, and said that his junior brother was arrogant, and he was afraid that he couldn't stand the cold face of Master Mu. Unhappy again.

Hastily stepped forward and pulled Xu Qingxiu to his side and the fourth junior brother, and then personally went over to Mu Lingshen and said something like "The younger brother is stubborn, please trouble the young master to take care of him, and Bai Changyou will be useful in the future, just speak up" "Qingxiu has something to do." The young suzerain who got it wrong, please forgive me" and other words, but carefully found that there was a rare two points of displeasure in Mu Lingchen's eyes looking at him.He couldn't help but sighed, and he was even more certain that it was the bad temper of the third junior brother that made Master Mu unhappy.

Bai Changyou bid farewell to He Rui again, and the two groups of people said goodbye.

Mu Lingshen always looked cold and unhappy, but He Rui had long been used to seeing his young master's expression, so he didn't think much about it.

Xu Qingxiu silently followed his brothers and sisters back to the Qianshan Peak of Yungu Fairy Gate to report to his master. Only when he returned to his room did he realize that he and Muling Shen had been trapped in the ancient magic circle for more than a month.During this period of time, the two were at odds with each other, and Xu Qingxiu also saw that although Mu Shaozong was cold-spoken, he was actually a good person worthy of friendship, and wanted to make friends with him, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen later.

Thinking of what happened that night, he felt feverish on his face, so he comforted himself for the hundredth time and said that the two of them were just affected by the Yin-Yang fairy fruit, and their actions and words were inaccurate. There is no intersection, and they practice separately, let alone a year, even five or ten years, and they may not be able to see each other again-by then, the white clouds and dogs will change, and this matter will fade away.

But he was thinking very well. Who would have thought that only a month and a half later, Master Chihuang Daoist called him with a smile, and said to him: "Qingxiu, you have studied hard and practiced hard these past few years. You have made great progress, the leader intends to send you to participate in this year's Zhilan Conference, you go and pack up, and then follow Shuqingfeng Elder Qingxuan to set off."

The Zhilan Conference is an opportunity for outstanding young disciples from various sects to show their faces in competitions. Xu Qingxiu is young and vigorous, so he is naturally overjoyed to have this opportunity.

His senior brother and second senior brother have passed the time to participate in this kind of rookie competition, and the two junior brothers are not old enough to cultivate, so he is the only one going to Qianshan Peak.

The Zhilan Conference was held in the Lanyun Valley. Xu Qingxiu and other brothers from the peak followed the two elders, Qingxuan and Qinglan.A group of people gathered together, all gearing up and eager to try, talking about the young talents who participated in this meeting—and also the opponents they might encounter.

At the dinner table, Senior Brother Zhang Shuqingfeng said: "Oh, I heard that the Young Sect Master of the Ice Profound Sect will also participate this time."

Brother Zhang is the disciple of Elder Qingxuan, he is always ranked among the top three among his peers in the Yungu Immortal Sect, and he has always been proud. This time, the sect has high hopes for him, and he himself also has the idea of ​​making a big splash.

The other brothers quickly complimented him.

"Senior brother, you are an unworldly talent, even Mu Ling Shen may not be your opponent."

"Senior brother will definitely be able to win the battle and win the first place for my Yungu Xianmen."

"..."

When Xu Qingxiu heard this name, his chopsticks stopped unconsciously.

Brother Zhang was looking at the senior brothers sitting there with a smile on his lips and listening to them, when he suddenly found Xu Qingxiu sitting there dumbfounded, he pretended to be concerned and said, "Senior brother Xu? But what's wrong?"

Xu Qingxiu quickly returned to his senses, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother, everything is fine for Qingxiu."

Brother Zhang said with a smile: "Then what happened to you just now? What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

The other brothers also booed together.

Xu Qingxiu couldn't resist, waved his hands again and again and said: "No, I just thought, Mu Lingshen...he is very powerful."

I didn't dare to say what I was really thinking, so I accidentally said another truth that was pressed in my heart.

The faces of the brothers and sisters were all ugly.
