Morning Star

Mo Xinglan took off his shoes and half-lay on the bed, warning in his eyes: "You'd better not be curious, otherwise..."

He paused and looked up at her, his lips slightly raised but without any smile, which made people feel cold.

"Curiosity kills the cat."

"!" Chujiu took a deep breath and felt a chill down his spine.

Did she offend him again? Why was he so fickle? Didn't he promise her that she could be in the top three in the family trial a while ago? Why was he so cold to her now?

Seeing that Chujiu didn't respond for a long time, Mo Xinglan retracted his gaze and said in a calm tone: "Miss Chu, you have already eaten and achieved your goal. Why are you still staying here? Is there something wrong?"

Chujiu came back to his senses and spoke haltingly: "No, it's okay, then, then I'll leave."

She turned around and walked towards the door without hesitation. When she reached the door, she thought of something and stopped. She turned her back to Mo Xinglan and reminded him, "You have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

"..."

He watched Chujiu walk out of the room until she disappeared from his sight. At this moment, he felt empty and inexplicably irritated for some reason.

Feeling annoyed, she turned to look at the dressing table in a daze.

……

The next morning, Chu Wenxuan took Chu Jiu away from the Mo family. When they left, the Mo family's head, his wife, and the eldest and second young masters saw them off.

Mo Xinglan did not show up during the whole process. Chujiu knew that Mo Xinglan was probably not in the right mood at the moment, and might even be sleeping on the bed. Besides, with his personality, he would definitely not bother to see her off.

As soon as she returned home, Chujiu took the secret technique book that Zhan Kongming had given her and went to Zhan Kongming.

She said she wanted to be in the top three, and she knew that it was impossible for her to be in the top three with her current strength. But she would definitely do what she said, and this was a very important thing for her, so she had to achieve her goal no matter what.

In order to be able to return home as soon as possible, this time, she will persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is.

She was afraid of death, pain and trouble, but what she feared more was not being able to return home.

She planned to stay with her master for the whole month. Of course, she needed to get her family's consent before leaving, otherwise who knew if Chu Congnan would accuse her of fooling around outside all day.

Zhan Kongming didn't say whether he could make it public, so she only told Chu Congnan, Xiang Tingqin and Chu Wenxuan about it. When they found out, they were so surprised that their jaws dropped, and then they were happy for her.

When they knew that Zhan Kongming accepted Chujiu as his apprentice, they understood why Chujiu was able to produce a complete set of cold white jade that day. They naturally believed that Zhan Kongming accepted her as his apprentice.

When they heard her say that she was going to Zhan Kongming, they all nodded, and some even asked her to go quickly and not waste time.

The moment they enthusiastically sent him out the door, Chujiu began to doubt whether they were the original owner's biological parents.

When Zhan Kongming saw Chujiu coming, he clapped his hands and cheered. He repeatedly asked Chujiu to learn his ceramic craftsmanship, wishing he could teach Chujiu to become a master of ceramics in one day.

But Chujiu came to him not to study how to make ceramics, but for the family trial one month later.

She explained the family trial to Zhan Kongming. She thought Zhan Kongming would be disappointed, but he was not sad and started to teach her seriously.

How to force a disciple who has just reached the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm to the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm within a month?

Zhan Kongming had plenty of ideas. He was old anyway, so he took in an apprentice, especially one like Chujiu who had different ideas and high comprehension. He liked her very much. He wanted to pass on all his life's cultivation to her so that she could learn pottery from him.

Chujiu said that she thanked him because she had been living a life worse than death every day in the past month.

Backache and weakness in the limbs were nothing. She didn't even know how many times she had been injured or broken this month.

Every time she wanted to give up, Zhan Kongming would encourage her with all kinds of words. While encouraging her, he beat her until her limbs twitched, stars appeared in her eyes, and foam came out of her mouth.

The reason why her bones were always broken was explained by Zhan Kongming, who created a technique called Zheng Gang Xuan Gu Gong, which was specially used to quickly restore bones, strengthen the bones' ability to withstand blows, and quickly improve the root bones.

However, the way to learn this technique is to keep getting beaten up, breaking your bones, and then keep using this technique to repair your bones. Because this technique can only be used on your own body.

Old Man Zhan also said that her physical constitution was too poor, and practicing the Zhenggang Xuanbone function slightly improved her physical constitution. Although the effect was not great, her bones were hard and she could withstand beatings. And after practicing to a certain level, she would not be easily injured.

She just wanted to say, God, she's so tough! Are you sure you don't think it's fun to beat her up?

Chujiu has never had such a miserable life since she was a child. But in order to be in the top three in a month, Chujiu can only grit her teeth and get through it.

Finally, my hard work paid off and a month passed slowly.

This month may pass quickly for other practitioners, but for Chujiu it feels like a year.

She felt extremely relieved when she left the empty house. Thinking that she could finally leave this place that had tortured her for a month, she felt the air was fresh.

When leaving, Zhan Kongming once again bid farewell with tears in his eyes, asking her to come and visit him more often.

If Chujiu had not gone through his devilish training for a month, he would definitely feel reluctant when he saw the reluctance on his wrinkled face.

But there was no if, she saw through this stinky master. He had not shown any mercy when he beat her, but now he remembered that he was an old man.

The weather in May was already a bit hot, and Chujiu stood in the wind wearing thin clothes. Her clothes were lifted by the wind and danced lightly, like a butterfly resting in the flowers.

She walked into the house, greeted Chu Congnan and the others first, then hurried back to her own yard.

The moment I saw Luoluo, I was so happy that I rushed over and gave her a big hug. Luoluo was so scared that she didn't dare to move and kept asking her what was wrong.

She complained about how miserable her life had been in the past month, as if she were meeting a close sister. After hearing this, Luluo felt worried and distressed, and comforted her.

However, although Luluo is a few years younger than Chujiu and is still a child herself, she still comforts Chujiu like an adult.

In fact, Chujiu just wanted to complain, he didn’t have any complaints, so everything was fine after he finished speaking.

Chujiu was supposed to have dinner with Chu Congnan and the others, but she said that she wanted to summarize the results of her previous practice, so she didn't eat with them.

She stayed in her yard and ate with Green Radish. Green Radish cooked a table of dishes herself.

I have to say that Luluo's cooking skills are really good. How could the idiot who originally owned this little girl who could make so many delicious dishes be willing to beat her? If it were her, wouldn't she have worshipped her?

Luluo was dragged by Chujiu to eat together. After many times, Luluo did not refuse, and she sat down as soon as Chujiu asked.

Green Radish discovered that Miss would forget all the unhappy things as long as she had something to eat, so she liked to feed Miss the most. Miss was better than before, and she liked Miss like this. Seeing Miss happy made her happy too.
