The shift challenge was originally scheduled to be held once a year, but due to special circumstances in the first year, Chen Zhou set the date to the third month after the class started.

The disciples had gone through three long months and were extremely excited. The result of the first shift challenge was placed in front of Ye Lanruo after the competition that day.

The extremely clear chart data analysis shows the growth in the cultivation level of the disciples of the entire Sword Sect in the past three months, and also includes comparisons of the past three years and the past five years.

The sinking boat became famous in one battle.

Not only him, but the status of the entire Xiaoyao Peak has been significantly improved.

"Senior Sister Cen——"

"Senior Sister Pei——"

Cen Jianshen nodded and greeted him. The faces of the people following him did not change as they hurried in one direction.

Today is the day that Ling Yun will leave the Law Enforcement Hall.

The master didn't come to pick them up, so they stood outside and watched a stretcher being carried out.

It was Ling Yun, who was covered in blood and was dying.

Cen Jianshen reached out to feel her pulse and shuddered all over.

The meridians are broken and the foundation is completely destroyed.

*

The stretcher was carried to Yingxue Cave Mansion. Ling Yun had not woken up during the period. Chen Zhou sat beside her and wiped the blood off her face and body. His eyes were looking blankly into the air, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He sat there motionless for a long time until he heard a faint sound.

"..."

Ling Yun slowly opened her eyes. The scene in front of her was a little blurry. Perhaps because she had been locked in the dark for too long, she frowned slightly.

Soon, her eyes became clear, "Master."

Chen Zhou pulled himself out of his own world and asked her, "How do you feel?"

Ling Yun's face showed no expression. After a while, she said, "I don't have the strength."

The third thing she said was: "It's a bit cold."

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment. The mortal body could not stand the long-term cold here, and frost and dew condensed on Ling Yun's eyelashes.

He stretched out his hand to melt all the ice and snow in the cave, then hurriedly found a hand-warming stove and handed it to her.

Ling Yun reached out to take it, but her torn meridians were so fragile that it was difficult for her to raise her hand. She slowly withdrew her hand: "Sorry."

She seemed tired and closed her eyes wearily. Chen Zhou stopped talking. He placed the hand warmer in Ling Yun's arms and turned to leave the cave.

He sat alone on a rock outside the cave, looking up at the sunset.

Blinding and hot.

"Second Senior Sister, Senior Sister can't practice anymore. Does that mean we don't have a Senior Sister anymore?"

"do not know."

"Do you want to go see the senior sister?"

"Don't do it for now, wait until she gets better."

"Master looks so sad, why don't we go over and take a look..."

"Don't go over there, let Master be alone for a while."

The sound gradually faded away, and Chen Zhou sat there motionless. After a long time, he stood up and flew towards Yuhua Peak on his sword.

*

When Ling Yun woke up again, there was one more person in the room. It was the doctor that Chen Zhou borrowed from the medicine elder. She was writing a prescription and sighed when she saw Ling Yun woke up.

This kind of rare disease was the first time she had seen it. There were unexfoliated demon seeds in Ling Yun's body. She had been able to suppress it before, but now...

Even though she had helped Ling Yun repair his meridians, it would still take a long time to recover.

The demon species could only give her a few more months of life.

There was simply no time.

The hottest season has passed, and the cold winter of the cultivation world is about to come.

The ice bed in Yingxue Cave was moved away and replaced by a wooden bed with several layers of soft mattresses, which was warm to sleep on.

Chen Zhou hadn't done these chores for a long time, so the bed was a little crooked, but fortunately it didn't affect his sleep.

The stove in the room was lit at some point, and it was so warm that it made people sweat. Chen Zhou sat in front of a bubbling pot, concentrating on making a tonic soup for her.

Mortals are different from cultivators. They will feel hungry and cold, and he cannot just leave them alone.

The only problem is that the pot here doesn't have an automatic stop, so he needs to keep an eye on it all the time.

He stared at the rising mist in a daze until he heard a crisp sound.

Ling Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed. The cup on her right hand side had rolled to the ground and broken into pieces. She bent down very slowly, picked up the broken pieces on the ground and put them on the table.

She sat for a while, until her hands stopped shaking, then she raised her eyes to look at the sinking boat.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master."

Chen Zhou came over, cleaned up the debris on the table, and poured her another glass of warm water.

Then he supported her and let her sit against the head of the bed, and handed her the water.

He put his hand on the back of Ling Yun's hand. Knowing that she had no strength, he used a little force to hold her hand and bring it to her mouth. Only after Ling Yun took a sip did he slowly smile.

It was a very complicated smile, carrying some uneasiness, guilt and anxiety. Although it was fleeting, Ling Yun saw it very clearly.

The eyes without glasses were crescent-shaped and had no intimidating power at all.

Ling Yun was a little dazed, staring at his face without saying anything.

Chen Zhou didn't notice at all. He turned around and went back to serve a bowl of the prepared soup, then pulled a stool over and sat next to her.

Ling Yun tasted it and found that the soup he made was indeed delicious.

Although some tonic herbs were added, it didn't taste bitter.

It is an earthly herb that has no side effects on her damaged meridians.

She was most averse to taking random pills at this time.

"tasty?"

"Ah."

Ling Yun was fed a bowl of food by him, and his originally cold palms became much warmer.

"Then drink more, okay?"

Ling Yun's eyes fell on him, and Chen Zhou's fingers holding the bowl turned white. She didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

Chen Zhou then served her another bowl.

After feeding and cleaning up, Chen Zhou went to the desk, turned on the lamp, and began to organize the documents.

Ling Yun looked at him from afar. Through the dim lights, Chen Zhou's eyes and brows were like ink-splashed paintings, with infinite spiritual energy flowing.

In just a few months, he established himself in the Sword Sect and gained the respect and admiration of everyone in the Sword Sect. His future is bright.

If it wasn't for his life, Ling Yun didn't want to deceive such a person.

But she still had some unfulfilled wishes, and she was unwilling to give up.

Only when you are in danger can you survive... She said that the sinking of the boat hurt herself, but in fact she also hurt herself to achieve her goal, how similar they are!

There is no other way.

If you lose the bet, you only have one life, and it is not in vain to be with such a person before you die; and if you win the bet...

Ling Yun couldn't look away for a long time.

Chen Zhou frowned as he recorded something, his mind completely immersed in research.

The information on the table is the latest research information on demon species that has been collected, including experimental records on demon species research discovered during the Juqiange expedition.

There had been no results in the past decade, and now, after several months, Shen Zhou had no confidence in this either.

But if he doesn't do it, Ling Yun can only wait for death.

He has no choice.
