A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Seeing the shy Pei Cangli, Si Yunzhou felt that he had been going in the wrong direction before, which was why Cangli rejected him like that.

Starting today, he planned to try a different approach. It must be because of the monsoon that he had been experiencing so much that he had made no progress.

Fellow Daoist Jin was right when he said that if he wanted to gain Cangli's approval, he must first make Cangli feel that he could protect her and give her a sense of security.

In the past, it was always Cangli who protected him. This time, he will definitely protect Cangli well and never let her get hurt again.

As expected, I took the wrong path. No matter how hard I try, it will be in vain.

After putting on the mask and going out, Si Yunzhou closed the door and told the servants not to go in and disturb his junior brother who was still resting.

After knowing that he got up, Qian Yao came to see him with breakfast. Although the monk no longer needed to eat in the later period, he would still have a snack occasionally.

The Qian family’s breakfast is not the kind that mortals eat, but breakfast made with ingredients that have spiritual power.

When Qian Yao saw that her junior fellow apprentice was not there today, she was thinking that she could finally be alone with Zhou Yunsi, when she saw her senior brother coming over.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, where is your junior brother? Why doesn't he come for breakfast?"

"My junior brother had a relapse of his old illness last night, so let him rest in his room for a while today. I'll bring him breakfast after dinner."

"Brother Sun, do you have nothing to do today?"

"No, it's just that Master asked me to take you to hunt monsters. Do you want to go?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you come with us? It's a little unsafe for me and my senior brother to go alone."

"I have to take care of my junior brother today. I'm really sorry."

When Qian Yao heard that Zhou Yunsi was not going, she said to her senior brother, "Then don't go today. I have other things to do later."

"Junior sister, what are you busy with? I can help you."

Fearing that Si Yunzhou would mind, Qian Yao quickly said, "I don't need your help, I can do it myself."

After Si Yunzhou finished his meal, he stood up and said goodbye. When Qian Yao saw that he was about to leave again, she asked him if he had time in the evening.

Si Yunzhou refused outright. His junior fellow apprentice was not feeling well recently and he could not be away. Besides, as his junior fellow apprentice, he could not just enjoy himself.

After saying that, he took his breakfast and left. When Sun Shang saw that Zhou Yunsi had left, he asked Qian Yao to go out and play. However, Qian Yao, who used to love to play, now didn't want to go out at all.

After breakfast, the three of them went back to their rooms.

Si Yunzhou returned to the room and saw Pei Cangli still lying on the bed with her face covered by the quilt, so he asked her to get up and have breakfast.

After a while, Pei Cangli said, "I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat."

"Cang Li, are you going to hide under the quilt and not see me from now on? Or are you still shy?"

"Si Yunzhou, you..."

“Cangli, hurry up and get up. I need to remove the formation. Otherwise, in broad daylight, no one can hear the sound and people will suspect me.”

"You...you turn around first. I need to put on my clothes."

Pei Cangli knew that this excuse was lame. It was not that troublesome for a monk to put on clothes, but she just didn't want to see Si Yunzhou's face.

Even though she was wearing a mask, she could still feel Si Yunzhou's smile underneath the mask, which was deliberately teasing her.

"Cang Li, are you sure you want to wear this mask when you go out today?"

Pei Cangli, who had everything covered except his eyes, replied guiltily, "Yes, I'm not eating today, so why should I wear this?"

"The fox mask you wore before is enough. If you suddenly change into this, the Qian family will get suspicious."

"I'm wearing the rabbit one today too, and you wear the fox one, so that others won't get suspicious."

After both of them put on their masks, Si Yunzhou removed the formation. The two of them sat, one at the table and the other at the door, as if they were angry.

After a while, Qian Yao sent someone to invite Zhou Yunsi, saying that there was an event in their town in the evening and invited them to go and see it together.

Si Yunzhou glanced at Pei Cangli, and seeing that she had no reaction, he nodded in agreement.

Pei Cangli was still sitting there at this time, her consciousness had already entered the space, and she asked her friend what to do about the heart pain she suffered every night?

If she opened her eyes and woke up in the morning, leaning in Si Yunzhou's arms, with her arms around his waist, she would kill herself in a moment.

At that time, Si Yunzhou went to have breakfast. She had come in to ask once, and this time she came to get the result.

Cang Cang thought of a way to temporarily seal the heart meridian for a few days, so that he would not feel the pain in his heart, but at the same time he would really not be able to use his spiritual power.

I can wait until the day after I get rid of the Qian family, and then I can untie the heart meridian. But now I am in the tiger's den, if I really have no spiritual power, it will be unsafe.

Qian Yao had wanted to get rid of her several times. Pei Cangli thought about it and decided that it didn't matter if she had no spiritual power. It was better than waking up in embarrassment every morning.

Just in case, Liu Lian gave Pei Cangli a willow branch, which he turned into a hairpin and inserted into her hair to temporarily protect her. Although she had Biling's protection, three times was still a bit too little.

After his spiritual consciousness came out of the space, Pei Cangli decisively sealed his heart meridians and suddenly vomited blood.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

When Si Yunzhou saw Pei Cangli suddenly vomiting blood, he quickly sent a voice message and asked, "Cangli, is your chest hurting again?"

Pei Cangli shook his head and sent him a voice message, "I've thought of a way to temporarily seal the heart meridian, so you won't feel the pain in your heart at night."

"Then if you seal your heart meridian, what effect will it have on you?"

"It doesn't have much of an impact, except that I really can't use my spiritual power anymore. I'll need Fellow Daoist Si to protect me from now on."

Si Yunzhou helped Pei Cangli to the bed and took the opportunity to whisper, "There are people outside, you should rest for a while."

Sure enough, Qian Yao received the news soon and came to see Pei Cangli. "Fellow Daoist Zhou, is your junior brother okay? I just heard from the servants that he seemed to have vomited blood. I have some elixirs here, I wonder if they can be used?"

After he finished speaking, the servant who followed behind him handed Si Yunzhou a small bottle containing a few pills.

Pei Cangli sat up from the bed and said weakly, "Thank you Miss Qian for your concern. I'm fine."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, your junior brother is seriously injured. How about I arrange another room for you so that both of you can have a good rest? Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry. I will arrange someone to take care of him."

"I appreciate Miss Qian's kindness, but taking care of my junior brother is my responsibility, so I don't need to ask anyone else to do it for me."

"You have to go out tonight, Miss Qian, so you should go and get ready."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou. The servants are already prepared. I don't need to prepare anything else."

Si Yunzhou just wanted to send Qian Yao away quickly and let Pei Cangli have a good rest, so he said, "Do you need to dress up a bit?"

When Qian Yao heard this, she was very happy. This was Zhou Yunsi hinting her to dress up nicely and then go out to play with her.

He hurriedly left with his servants and went back to his room to dress up.

Pei Cangli saw Qian Yao's smile before she left, and deliberately said loudly, "Someone is having a treat tonight."

Si Yunzhou looked at her puzzledly and asked, "Junior brother, what do you mean?"

"You'll find out tonight."
