The bruise on Jiang Shuo's neck did not appear on the first day.

Ever since the monster injured two people in the Jiuhua sect, Jiang Shuo would feel cold in his sleep from time to time.

Even if the doors and windows were closed tightly, a heater was placed beside the couch, and the quilt was covered, the bone-deep cold would still invade his upper body after he fell asleep, and the chill would not go away like a split skin.

And whenever Jiang Shuo consciously wanted to wake up, he would feel a strong force coming from his neck, and when he struggled to open his eyes, he would find a new pinch mark on his neck.

However, Jiang Shuo has not told the young apprentice about this matter.

After changing into high-collared robes, no one else knew about it except Qi Feng and a few inner disciples who were ordered to investigate the matter.

"Perhaps it was a forbidden technique in the bedroom." Jiang Shuo saw the little apprentice clenched his fists and looked angry, and comforted him softly: "There is no injury, Qifeng is already investigating the matter."

Yin Sui was silent for a long time, and then said hoarsely: "I'm going to sleep in your room."

Jiang Shuo didn't react: "Why?"

Yin Sui said coldly: "How many days have passed, those people are useless for eating, and they can't even find out whether it is a forbidden technique, so I might as well do it myself."

"..." Jiang Shuo said, "Your cultivation...is still shallow, and you are still in the stage of entraining energy. If you encounter forbidden techniques, you will easily hurt yourself."

The little apprentice looked dissatisfied and retorted: "I'm about to break through the Foundation Establishment!"

Jiang Shuo rubbed the irritable boy's hair, and said softly, "But you haven't broken through yet, so you can't."

Yin Sui: "."

At night, when Jiang Shuo returned to the courtyard, he saw Qifeng standing inside.

"Master," Qi Feng narrowed her eyes, did not look at Jiang Shuo's face, but said in a calm tone, "The disciple has led people to thoroughly search this courtyard, and found no traces of spells or spells left."

Since Jiang Shuo personally rescued Yin Sui that night and proved his innocence, Qi Feng has become a lot colder recently, and Jiang Shuo guessed that he must be having a petty temper with himself.

"Thanks for your hard work." Jiang Shuo stood beside him and said softly, "You don't seem to have had much rest in the past few days. You don't have to stay in my yard tonight. Go back and sleep first."

Qifeng pursed her lips tightly and said in a low voice, "Master, are you going to drive me away?"

Jiang Shuo was helpless, these disciples of Dongyan were all like children, forget about Yu Yun, he was indeed still young, and Qi Feng actually... had to coax him.

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Shuo said, "If I didn't feel sorry for you, I should have let you stand guard at this gate day and night. I just told you to rest for a while, and you should lose your temper with me."

Qi Feng turned her face away, and said in a muffled voice: "I thought Master Mistress didn't want to see me."

"..." Jiang Shuo sighed sincerely: "You are so old, why are you still acting awkward every day like your junior brother Yu Yun?"

Yu Yun was even more troublesome. After being refused to sleep with Jiang Shuo today, he didn't even want to learn spells. After kicking down the tree by the peach blossom forest, he ran all the way back to his small yard and locked the door. Let Jiang Shuo go in.

Now I don't know if I ate or not...

Jiang Shuo thought about these bad things about bringing his apprentice, and sighed, "If you don't want to go back to rest, then I'll make someone spread a quilt on the side of the couch later, you..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng clenched her hands in her sleeves unconsciously, and was about to wait for him to finish speaking, but Jiang Shuo suddenly stopped talking.

"...What is that?" Jiang Shuo looked at the night sky in the southeast direction in confusion, "Thunder?"

Qi Feng also looked up, and after distinguishing for a while, he said in surprise: "Someone is breaking through the realm?"

Jiang Shuo: "."

There are not many people living in the Qutai, so close to each other, besides myself, there is only...

Before he could finish thinking, a few bolts of lightning flashed out of the dark clouds as thick as black ink, and they struck the ground silently. After three bolts in a row, the roaring and dull thunder followed.

Jiang Shuo reacted slowly: "Yu Yun is... making a breakthrough?"

"The breakthrough has already been completed," Qi Feng turned his eyes away, and said coldly, "It's just that he has entered the foundation building period, so don't be so surprised. After teaching for so long, it's too late for him to break through so far."

Jiang Shuo: "..."

Although it seems that he has been teaching for a long time, only Jiang Shuo himself knows, because he is new to this world and busy with affairs, so he didn't teach his little apprentices anything before.

There is even a gap between Yun Yun and Foundation Establishment in the triple air-entraining stage.

Is this genius?Jiang Shuo's face was calm, but his heart was surging.

The vision in the dark cloud disappeared after about half a cup of tea, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse again.But Jiang Shuo was worried that the little apprentice would be knocked unconscious in the room by lightning, so he decided to go out to have a look.

"Master." Qi Feng frowned, with an uncertain expression in his eyes: "It's just a Thunder Tribulation that induces a breakthrough, so there's no need to be nervous."

Jiang Shuo had already reached the gate of the yard, and was about to reach out to open the door, but Qi Feng felt more and more disgusted and aggrieved in his heart, and his tone became cold: "Why do you care about him so much, obviously once—"

His words stopped abruptly, because when Jiang Shuo opened the door, he saw the little apprentice standing outside the door, smelling of burnt body, hugging the pillow and quilt, looking inside innocently.

Qifeng: "..."

Yin Sui said: "Master, I have broken through to Foundation Establishment, and I can sleep with you now."

Jiang Shuo: "..."

In Jiang Shuo's bedroom tonight, there are two apprentices.

One of them looked serious and frowned, and the other ran around the room smelling of burnt body, full of curiosity.

"Master," Yin Sui squatted in front of Jiang Shuo's couch, and asked with clear eyes, "Can I sleep on the same bed with you? It seems that there can't be so many quilts on the floor."

Jiang Shuo, one head and two big, first squeezed a clean clothes formula to get rid of the burnt smell on the little apprentice, and then said: "You..."

"Come and sleep with me." Qi Feng suddenly said coldly: "As a disciple, you should not share the bed with your elders. I still have a spare seat here, so you can sleep next to me."

After Qifeng finished speaking, Yin Suicai seemed to have finally discovered his existence, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?"

Qifeng: "...Master's wife has been worrying and thinking about it these days, so I will protect him."

"Well," Yin Sui nodded, and said calmly, "I can't sleep either, so I came to find my wife to accompany me."

"Nonsense." Jiang Shuo reprimanded him: "You are such a big man, how can you not sleep by yourself?"

The little apprentice lowered his head in grievance, his black hair was curled up because he had just experienced the thunder calamity. Jiang Shuo touched it and found it was a bit thorny, so he put it back calmly.

"Either go back to sleep, or sleep on the floor." Jiang Shuo said calmly, maintaining the majesty of his teacher's wife.

Yin Sui looked at Jiang Shuo's soft bed, then at Qi Feng sitting on the ground with a stinky face, and whispered, "I don't want to sleep with Senior Brother Qi Feng."

Qifeng was almost laughed angrily by him: "Go out if you don't want to sleep, so as not to disturb the rest of the teacher here."

Yin Sui dawdled by Jiang Shuo's bed, but refused to move.Not only did he not move, but he also looked at people expectantly with those black and white eyes, even if he didn't speak, he could still see the pleading overflowing from his eyes.

Jiang Shuo rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, feeling that he had aged several years since taking on an apprentice.

"Come on," Jiang Shuo finally let go, "Take off your outer robe, wash your face, and go to the closet behind the screen to find a well-fitting inner robe."

Qi Feng's face changed slightly: "Master..."

"Your brother is still young." While Yin Sui was happily changing clothes, Jiang Shuo comforted another big apprentice, "temporary willfulness is inevitable, he said that he wanted to find out the root of the forbidden technique for me tonight, not because of any other malice .”

Qi Feng endured and endured, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were still red: "Master, I can't stand your preference for him. Occasionally you also..."

Look at me too.

Jiang Shuo looked at him for a while, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Qifeng, I am also a human being, and I also have things that are difficult to take care of, and my energy is even more limited."

"Your junior brother..." Jiang Shuo paused, his eyes turned to the screen not far away, his voice was barely audible: "It is very important to Jiuhua, I have to pay more attention to him, I hope you can understand."

This was the first time Jiang Shuo talked about the reason with others.

The fate destined to be five years later lingers in Jiang Shuo's heart like a shadow. Now that Dongyan is in seclusion, he can't even find a single person. The all-pervasive pressure and fear can only be carried by Jiang Shuo himself. He suddenly feels very tired and doesn't want to Talk to Qifeng again.

"...disciple understands." Fortunately, Qifeng is also a temperament who knows how to read words and expressions. Seeing Jiang Shuo's brows faintly tired, he said, "it's my disciple's narrow-mindedness, so don't worry about it."

After Yin Sui changed his clothes and came out, he saw that dog called Qifeng pretending to be good in front of Jiang Shuo again.

In Yin Sui's eyes, Qi Feng was so close to Jiang Shuo that he could even touch the quilt hanging by the side of the couch with his hand!Still looking sad, Yin Sui guessed without even thinking about it that Qi Feng must be whispering bad things about herself again.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to make a sound-avoiding formula just now, since I was obviously not far away, and I couldn't hear what Qifeng was talking to Jiang Shuo.

Yin Sui rushed over angrily, squeezing between Jiang Shuo and Qi Feng unceremoniously.

"It's time to go to bed," the boy changed into a plain white nightgown, the belt was loosely tied, and he yawned as he climbed onto Jiang Shuo's bed, "Master, I'm sleepy."

Qifeng who was blocked: "..."

Jiang Shuo handed the little apprentice a pillow, the quilts of the two were still separated, seeing Yin Sui getting into the quilt and moving towards him, he couldn't help saying: "Sleep well, don't move around."

Yin Sui immediately stopped moving, but when Jiang Shuo didn't pay attention, he hugged the quilt and moved gently, trying to get closer to Jiang Shuo.

"Master." Yin Sui closed his eyes and called him in a low voice, his voice was sleepy and his face was defenseless.

Jiang Shuo untied his hairpin and extinguished a few candles.Qifeng put down the bed curtain, glanced at Yin Sui who was sleeping happily, and whispered to Jiang Shuo: "Master, if you feel unwell at night, please call me immediately."

Although there were two more people in the room, Jiang Shuo unexpectedly fell asleep quickly.

In the dream, the shadows were hazy and there was always silence. Jiang Shuo frowned, his slender eyelashes trembling uncomfortably.

The familiar chill suddenly struck, Jiang Shuo was half asleep and half awake and prepared, but he still couldn't break free. He could only wait unbearably for the chill to climb all the way up his neck along his skin, and then pinched him hard——

"Mistress!"

The chill suddenly disappeared, Jiang Shuo coughed lightly and opened his eyes, only to see Yin Sui's anxious and flustered eyes.He was half-kneeling beside him, holding Jiang Shuo's back neck with one hand, and lifted the quilt with the other, so that Jiang Shuo could breathe more smoothly.

"How is it?" Yin Sui's voice was hoarse: "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Shuo grabbed his hand reassuringly, sat up and found the bronze mirror, took a picture, and found that the pinch mark on the neck was barely visible this time, probably because he was woken up in time.

"Where's Qifeng?" Jiang Shuo remembered that there was another apprentice in the room, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, only to find that Qifeng's brows were tightly wrinkled and his face was pale, obviously he was trapped.

Jiang Shuo sent a sound transmission talisman to call someone, put on his clothes and got out of bed, first used spells to stabilize Qifeng's mind, then raised his eyes to see Yin Sui who was sitting on the bed in a daze, and asked, "Why are you in a daze? What did you see? "

Yin Sui shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "No."

Jiang Shuo didn't notice any difference in his expression.

Seeing the scene of Qifeng waking up slowly and Jiang Shuo's gentle words of comfort, Yin Sui sat on the couch, but felt his heart beating like thunder, his body felt chills, and even felt dizzy.

How could there be... that kind of thing here.

He originally thought that he had destroyed that thing in his previous life, and buried his secrets deep underground.Now that I am alive again, I will no longer suffer from being restrained by others.

Yin Sui clenched his teeth, feeling a fishy smell in his throat.

How dare this thing reappear in the world, how dare... touch Jiang Shuo!
