Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

Guan Shanyu continued to ask confidently, "Will you help me pick it? You can see that I can't even climb up."

Yan Ruchen continued to nod: "Of course, if Shanyu needs help."

Okay, okay, Guan Shanyu scratched his ears, thinking that this was definitely the simple and innocent little white flower from the early days.

After digging his ears, Guan Shanyu looked at Yan Ruchen, who was still soaking in the water without moving, and asked, "Then why don't you get up? Are you addicted to soaking in the water?"

Yan Ruchen shook his head and said, "There's still half an hour before the punishment ends."

Guan Shanyu waved his hands in sudden realization, looked at his serious expression helplessly, and said, "Okay, go on."

So for the next half hour, both of them fell into an extremely strange silence.

Yan Ruchen stood in the cold spring, as calm as a rock. Guan Shanyu sat on a rock beside him, swatting a mosquito. After another slap, a mosquito died in his palm. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you being punished?"

Yan Ruchen looked up in bewilderment, and seeing Guan Shanyu looking at him curiously, he lowered his eyes slightly and paused for a long time before answering, "I am disrespectful, Senior Brother."

Guan Shanyu had some idea of ​​what was going on, but he continued to ask, "You don't look like someone who would disrespect his fellow disciples. What did you do? Did you provoke them?"

Yan Ruchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, avoiding the topic. Instead, he asked Guan Shanyu, "How dare I? Shanyu, since joining the sect, your temper and habits have changed a lot. It's really the immortal herbs and trees of Lingcaoxuan that nourish people, and Elder Qing's teaching methods."

Guan Shanyu opened his eyes slightly in surprise. Sure enough, the familiar alarm sounded in his ears. Before he could argue, the system said coldly, "The important protagonist discovered that the character is OOC. Level 2 penalty is activated."

As an electric current that was even more stimulating than the original one passed through his body, a strong tingling sensation attacked his senses. Guan Shanyu felt that all the muscles in his body began to cramp and he immediately fell to the ground and twitched uncontrollably. After the system alarm sounded, he took a long time to gradually regain consciousness. The first shout he heard was Yan Ruchen calling his name anxiously.

But when I looked back, I found that although he was anxious, his whole body was soaked in the water and he didn't move at all.

What a self-disciplined man...

Guan Shanyu silently got up and, without waiting for Yan Ruchen to ask, continued to lie, "Ahem, I'm a little cold. I was too cold just now, so I took a few tucks to warm myself up."

After saying that, he greeted all the designers of the system for generations, and under Yan Ruchen's somewhat suspicious gaze, he slowly sat back on the original stone.

"Are you really okay? I just saw that you seemed to be in great pain..." Yan Ruchen was still a little worried and asked with concern.

Guan Shanyu stroked his hair in a nonchalant manner and interrupted, "Don't overthink it. I'm fine. But you have so many wounds on your body. I don't know if it was because you disrespected your senior brother or because they beat you up."

Yan Ruchen was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head. Guan Shanyu glanced at him secretly and saw that he seemed to be thinking of something sad and didn't say a word. So he thought of changing the topic, such as how he and his wives were progressing. However, before he opened his mouth to ask, he suddenly heard voices on the mountain road.

Guan Shanyu and Yan Ruchen both fell silent in tacit agreement and turned to look at the mountain road. They saw two slender figures approaching side by side among the layers of green leaves on the mountain road. Their figures were tightly covered by the lush leaves and could not be distinguished, but from the voices they were two women.

Guan Shanyu was surprised that there was a woman wandering around in such a remote place like Lengquan on such a dark and windy night. Could she be some kind of mountain monster that had turned into a spirit?

The two voices approached from afar, and one of them said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Your father punished you personally, and yet you came here in the middle of the night to show your affection. Are you guys at the Ziwei Society so idle?"

Another person said, "What about you?"

"I just can't stand you all bullying him. Such a big sect is targeting Ruchen alone. It was clearly someone tripped and broke the candlestick while moving it. Is it necessary to punish him so severely? Lengquan punished him for four hours. Everyone knows Guan Shanyu from Lingcaoxuan. Last time, Lengquan couldn't even withstand an hour of punishment and fainted. He had to recuperate for three days. Tianjian Pavilion is simply..."

......

It turned out that Yan Ruchen’s two wives had come.

Guan Shanyu turned around and didn't listen to what Chen Rongrong said next. It was nothing more than some remarks defending Yan Ruchen and criticizing his master for not distinguishing between good and evil. But why did he have to bring him along?

What do you mean he couldn't even endure it for an hour? He clearly endured it for more than an hour.

Yan Ruchen looked at Guan Shanyu in bewilderment, but Guan Shanyu had already tactfully lip-synced to him and whispered, "Looking for you. Do you want me to step aside for a moment?"

Although Yan Ruchen didn't realize who was looking for him, he shook his head at Guan Shanyu, indicating that he didn't need to avoid him, and then asked the figure that was getting closer and closer, "Who is coming?"

When Chen Rongrong and the other person heard Yan Ruchen's voice, they immediately quickened their pace and jogged over. After a while, they ran in front of Yan Ruchen. Guan Shanyu took a look and found that the other person was actually Si Hongyin, but seeing the worried look on her face, he felt something was wrong.

Chen Rongrong and the other person completely ignored the existence of Guan Shanyu.

Seeing Yan Ruchen soaking in the water with his upper body naked, they all shyly averted their eyes, blushing and then slowly turning their heads with dignity. They all whispered in a concerned voice, "Ruchen, how are you? I heard that this cold spring is extremely cold. Last time, the guy from Lingcaoxuan fainted from the cold. If you hadn't happened to pass by and rescued him, he would have frozen to death in the spring. I'm worried about you, so I came to see you."

Guan Shanyu watched coldly, thinking to himself, this guy doesn't even deserve a name now, so he'll just be called Lingcaoxuan.

But one thing is true, this cold spring really froze several weak disciples to death. Maybe they have turned into vengeful ghosts now, lying on their heads and watching them.

Yan Ruchen nodded gratefully, and turned to look at Guan Shanyu with some embarrassment. Guan Shanyu reminded them from the side: "Sisters, Lingcaoxuan is here."

Si Hongyin and the other two looked over and were both stunned. Chen Rongrong asked unhappily, "What are you doing here again?"

Guan Shanyu was puzzled. He hadn't done anything to Chen Rongrong. In the original novel, although she was big-breasted and brainless, she was at least a girl who could clearly distinguish between good and evil. There was no reason for her to be hostile to him. So Guan Shanyu asked, "What are the sisters doing here again?"

Si Hongyin turned her eyes away calmly, but Chen Rongrong was still sullen. "Ruchen was bullied, so we came to see him. But you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you planning to harm Ruchen again? Don't even think about it."

Guan Shanyu immediately retorted: "When did I..."

Just as he blurted out the words, he suddenly remembered that his original character had indeed given Yan Ruchen a lot of bad things on the way out of the village to become his apprentice. Most likely, they knew about his previous bad deeds. So Guan Shanyu replied, "I really didn't do anything this time. I just came here for a stroll."

Chen Rongrong said, "The mountain rules say you're not allowed to go out at night. You're hanging around here so late, aren't you afraid someone will find you and send you off to be punished?"

Guan Shanyu was silent. He glanced at Chen Rongrong and the other man with an innocent gaze, silently asking, "Aren't you two just going out casually?" Chen Rongrong received Guan Shanyu's suspicious look and immediately understood his thoughts. She turned her head away guiltily and looked at Yan Ruchen, ignoring Guan Shanyu. She asked, "Ruchen, did he bully you?"

Guan Shanyu also silently turned his eyes and saw that during the time Chen Rongrong had just argued with him, Yan Ruchen and Si Hongyin had been exchanging glances for a long time. Hearing Chen Rongrong's question, Yan Ruchen just politely shook his head at her and said, "Thank you for your concern. Shanyu came here just to look for medicinal herbs and didn't do anything to me."

Si Hongyin turned to look at Guan Shanyu suspiciously, but Chen Rongrong had already said, "Is Lingcaoxuan still short of herbs that you need disciples to come pick them so late at night?"

Guan Shanyu curled her lips and thought to herself, "I really didn't do anything to your husband after I went up the mountain. What's your attitude when you talk to me like this?"

After a second thought, he quietly asked the system: "System, if I'm pretending, but it fits Guan Shanyu's character, you are not allowed to shock me."

After a pause, the system didn't respond. Guan Shanyu took it as a tacit agreement, took a deep breath, turned around, and put on a wronged and bitter expression, saying, "I didn't mean to disturb you. Sisters, please don't be angry. I'll leave right away."
