The Tao is far away

Wang Chi staggered like a candle in the wind, and came to the small river in front of his bamboo house.

The excessive use of his spiritual power made his body and mind exhausted to the extreme. He slowly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear, and then jumped into the stream.

Wang Chi was lying on a rock on the riverbed, with only half of his head exposed. The freezing cold river water washed away the blood on his face.

I wonder when he wiped out a life and felt no burden at all?

Wang Chi thought of the lives that had died in his hands, both mortals and cultivators.

He laughed at himself: "Haha, I, who received nine years of compulsory education, turned out to be like this."

However, Wang Chi had no regrets in his heart. In this world of cultivating immortals, the thing that was least lacking was life.

There are some things that even if he doesn't do them, others will do them for him.

The first day of the Nine Peaks Competition has ended, and Qingluan has returned to Qingzhu Peak.

When she passed by Wang Chi's cottage, she found that Wang Chi was lying in the creek with only half of his head exposed. The desire to play a prank on her suddenly surged.

As for this disciple, Qingluan didn't know whether the emotion she had towards him was that of a master.

But Qingluan always felt that there was something else involved.

Qingluan sat on an open space beside the stream, stretched her two jade feet into the stream, leaned back slightly, supported herself on the grass with both hands, raised one of her slightly fleshy jade legs, and playfully sprinkled all the water droplets on her feet on Wang Chi's face.

Wang Chi was puzzled. Was it raining? He opened his eyes and saw that Qingluan was sitting opposite him, with her beautiful legs clearly visible.

Wang Chi was in no mood to appreciate it, but said in a hoarse voice: "Master, I have caused trouble for you again."

Without waiting for Qingluan to reply, Wang Chi told Qingluan how he and Xu Qianyu killed Chen Feng, as well as the whole process and consequences.

Wang Chi was speechless for a moment, looking at Qingluan's flawless face with a helpless and apologetic look.

Qingluan was stunned. She didn't expect Wang Chi and Xu Qianyu to be so bold as to kill the third elder's disciple.

At the same time, she was also a little surprised at Wang Chi, that a Qi Refining Stage cultivator could kill a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

No wonder His Highness Xiao asked me to teach you, you are really not simple!

Putting aside the relationship with His Highness Xiao, Qingluan was determined to protect Wang Chi no matter what.

Thinking of this, Qingluan kicked up and poured the river water onto Wang Chi's head like a water dragon, cursing, "Little bastard, get up! Take me to Chen Feng's body!"

After a moment of embarrassment, the two came to the place where Chen Feng died, and there were already two people standing there.

Tianqin snorted in annoyance and said, "Humph, look at the disciples I taught. They actually fought and killed their fellow disciples privately, and even involved my disciple!"

"Master, it's not that..." Xu Qianyu wanted to explain, but was glared at by Tianqin.

Qingluan felt a chill in her heart. She really didn't want to have too much contact with Tianqin, so she slowly said, "What's the point of saying this now? Let's think of a way to get over this matter first. Do you want this delicate little apprentice to suffer the extreme punishment?"

"Humph, what does that have to do with my apprentice?"

Having said that, Tianqin knew that if this matter was really investigated, neither of them would be able to escape.

Tianqin fired a fireball at Chen Feng's body, and the body and the storage bag were instantly reduced to ashes.

Tianqin continued, "Now that there is no evidence, who knows if it was the two of them who did it?"

"But to be on the safe side, you and I need to work together to wipe out the spiritual energy here."

Qingluan and Tianqin worked together to form an array that covered the area. After a while, everything about Chen Feng disappeared.

"Listen carefully, kid. If you dare to touch my apprentice again, I will skin you alive!" Tianqin warned Wang Chi.

Wang Chi knew Tianqin's thoughts on Xu Qianyu. After hearing this, he became furious and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about, you dog? Do you think I don't know..." Before he could finish his words, Wang Chi's mouth was sealed by Qingluan.

Xu Qianyu's heart tightened, and she quickly winked at Wang Chi, signaling him not to tell anyone.

"What do you know?" Tianqin's voice was slightly cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Qing Luan was immediately furious. Without saying anything, she raised her hand and gave Wang Chi a slap on the face, cursing, "You are such a traitor, you bastard. He is your elder and my junior brother. Get out of here!"

Wang Chi covered his head and left the three people in shame.

Qingluan said to Tianqin with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I will definitely discipline this bad disciple when I return."

Tianqin stared at Qingluan for a long time and said angrily: "Keep an eye on your apprentice!"

"Let's go!" After saying that, Tianqin took Xu Qianyu and left Qingzhu Peak without looking back.

Qingluan put away the smile on her face, turned into a green light, and flew to the door of Wang Chi's hut.

Wang Chi was standing in front of the door, anxiously waiting for Qingluan.

"Master, I..." Wang Chi was interrupted by Qingluan as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't call me Master!" Qingluan suddenly shouted.

Wang Chi's heart trembled and he stared at Qingluan blankly.

"You are a hero, you said it all in one go, but what about me? Once Tianqin knows about this, she will definitely fight to the death with me. By then, the entire Tianji Sect will know that I, Qingluan, am a dirty woman who killed her master!"

"Are you satisfied with this?"

Qingluan was furious, tears streaming down her cheeks like a flood.

Wang Chi looked at Qingluan, whose chest was heaving with anger and tears were streaming down her face, and suddenly a different kind of emotion arose in his self-blame.

Wang Chi cursed himself inwardly and quickly put away those rebellious thoughts.

With a plop, Wang Chi knelt on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and said, "Master, hit me!"

Qingluan raised her right hand, wanting to slap Wang Chi to death with one palm, but her hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall.

Qingluan, with two lines of tears on her face, was a little dazed. Why couldn't she do it?

"Chastity is not under the skirt, but in..." Qingluan's mind suddenly emerged the words that Wang Chi once said to her.

At that time, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Qingluan's heart. Thinking back on it now, her heart still cannot calm down.

Looking at Wang Chi's face with his eyes closed, the inexplicable feeling in Qingluan's heart became stronger and stronger, surging into her heart like a tide, which made her scared.

No, absolutely not!

Qingluan suppressed the inexplicable emotion, clenched her hand in the air into a fist, and hit Wang Chi forcefully on the head.

Wang Chi groaned in pain.

Qingluan wanted to hit him again, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She stamped her feet in anger and said, "Stand up!"

"Master, I..." Wang Chi stood up.

"Shut up and go back to practice!" Qingluan turned into a beam of light and left.

Wang Chi looked at the direction where Qingluan was going away, his expression gloomy, like the sun covered by dark clouds.

"Master, I'm sorry."

Qingluan returned to her room and realized that the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. She was very panicked at the moment, like an ant on a hot pan, walking around the house anxiously.

"Damn it, this is impossible, this is impossible..."
