The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

After successfully drawing the Qi into the body, what follows is the boring and long journey of cultivation.

For Lu Shi, teaching disciples is too tedious, and she prefers to be a hands-off boss.

So, every time she taught, she would just casually throw a set of exercises to her apprentice, then turn around and go back to her cave, no longer paying attention to anything else.

It was the same on this day.

She threw down a book on sword-flying skills and walked towards the cave without looking back.

Unexpectedly, when the child was practicing flying with a sword, he was not proficient in the technique enough and could not control the speed and direction of the flying sword. It crashed straight into the cave where Lu Shi lived, and slid down the wall of the cave with a "pop".

Lu Ciyan sat on the ground with a dazed look on his face, covering his scarred face tightly with his hands, and was stunned for several seconds.

When he finally came to his senses and looked up, he saw Lu Shi coming out of the cave to check the situation.

In an instant, all the grievances and pains flooded into his heart, and he burst into tears.

"Master, it hurts so much, wuwuwu..."

The child was crying so hard that tears were streaming down his face. It was really heartbreaking to see him crying.

He sobbed, opened his arms, and stumbled, trying to throw himself into Lu Shi's arms for comfort.

But unexpectedly, Lu Shi dodged his hug with a light touch.

This time, Lu Ciyan seemed to have suffered a great blow. He cried even louder in an instant, and the entire Xinglan Peak was filled with his crying.

Seeing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but frown slightly. She gently raised her right hand, moved her fingertips slightly, and a white light hit Lu Ciyan's mouth accurately, and the annoying crying sound disappeared instantly.

After Lu Ciyan discovered that his voice had disappeared, he tried to open his mouth wide to try to find his voice again, but to no avail.

He stopped making a fuss and just looked at Lu Shi with his bright eyes. Tears soaked his eyes and he looked helpless.

Only then did Lu Shi remove the silencing spell on him.

The child wiped his face and angrily complained, "Master, I'm injured, and you didn't even hug me."

After saying that, she pouted her lips high, her face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Lu Shi was silent.

She never hugged him again after he wiped his tears, snot and dust on her while she was hugging him last time.

For some, just once is enough.

However, when Lu Ciyan asked this question, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't say that she disliked her disciple.

So she made up an excuse, "You are not a child anymore, you can take care of yourself."

Lu Ciyan pursed her lips tightly, and with a stubborn face, she retorted, "But tomorrow is my tenth birthday."

Ten years old is indeed too young for the original owner who has lived for more than a thousand years.

After all, the other party is just a child.

"Yeah." Lu Shi responded lightly, walked forward to straighten him up, and healed his wounds. His face, which was covered with scars, became white and tender again.

A warm current flowed into his heart. Lu Ciyan's heart trembled slightly. His little mouth pursed and he wanted to cry out loud, but he held it back.

He didn't like crying before. Tears couldn't solve any problems, they only made the abusers more excited.

But in front of Lu Shi, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Maybe the other person was the first person to show kindness to him, or maybe the other person was his master, the person closest to him now, so even if he knew that the other person had ulterior motives, he still couldn't help wanting to get close to her.

But he found that his master didn't seem to care about him very much.

He had hardly seen her in the past few months, and every time she did, she would just leave behind a manual and disappear.

He is very popular in the entire Qingxu Sect. Everyone who sees him can't help but come up to tease him. After a while, his face is almost frozen from laughing.

But in front of his master, he seemed dispensable. Even if he took the initiative to approach, the master would always keep him at a distance.

He was a little unwilling.

I can't really tell what I'm unwilling about.

"Master, do you hate me?" Lu Ciyan suddenly asked.

Lu Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and tapped his forehead, not too hard or too lightly, "I don't hate it."

She just saw through someone's black sesame filling and knew how badly the original owner was tortured by him.

The original owner had been very kind to him before and cared about almost everything. This made Lu Ciyan more convinced that he had what the original owner needed, and he became wary of her.

However, with his strength, he couldn't resist the original owner who was already in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so he could only act naughty and make the other party feel annoyed.

The more tolerant the original owner was, the more doubts Lu Ciyan had in his heart.

So now Lu Shi plans to take a completely different approach from the original owner and treat the other party as a dispensable person.

Show up occasionally to see if the other party's cultivation has improved. Unless the other party is in danger, ignore the rest.

But I didn't expect the other party to have imagined so much.

It's not good for children to be so thoughtful.

Lu Shi sighed slightly, "No one would hate their own disciples, so don't think too much about it."

In order to prove that he was not lying, Lu Shi hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly stretched out his arms and gently embraced him in his arms.

However, the hug was only fleeting, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and Lu Shi quickly let go of her hand.

It’s better not to give this guy the chance to smear his snot on her.

Lu Ciyan didn't think too much about it. When he felt the brief embrace from his master, he burst into tears and laughed.

He picked up the wooden sword on the ground and said to Lu Shi excitedly, "Master, just watch me fly the sword. I'm very good now."

He instantly forgot how embarrassed he was when he hit his head against the wall, but Lu Shi still remembered it.

In order to prevent her from damaging his cave, Lu Shi felt it was necessary to supervise him.

So Lu Shi took out a chair from the storage bag and sat down, watching Lu Ci Yan flying wobbly in the air casually.

Every time, it seemed like he was going to fall off the sword, but he managed to keep his balance in the end, and before he knew it, he had flown around Xinglan Peak several times.

A sword flying skill could be mastered to this level after only two days of learning. Lu Shi had to admit that his talent was really good. Even the original owner took three days to learn it.

The other party's fake spiritual roots were actually a good cover for him.

However, Lu Ciyan had reminded her before that tomorrow was his tenth birthday, and he seemed to have not prepared a gift yet.

If he knew this, I'm afraid his little head would come up with countless stories like "Master hates him".

Thinking about the gift he would give to the other person, Lu Shi couldn't help but be distracted.

Before she regained consciousness, a pair of warm, soft hands suddenly held her hands without warning.

She was stunned at first, then she subconsciously lowered her head, and her eyes naturally fell on the two overlapping hands, one big and one small.

She moved her fingers slightly, trying to pull them back, but Lu Ciyan held them tightly.

He tilted his fair, tender, delicate face up, with an incomparably cute smile on his face, and said in a clear and sweet voice, "Master, your hands are so cold. Let me warm them up for you."

Lu Shi's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly. He calmly tilted his head to one side and explained softly, "Master has ice spiritual roots and practices ice-based skills, so naturally his hands are cold."

Not only the hands, but even the body temperature is not high.

Having said that, Lu Shi's hand, which was originally trying to be pulled back, quietly stopped moving, and just let Lu Ci Yan hold it quietly.

"Then I want to learn fire-based skills to keep my master warm in the future!"

Lu Ciyan's childish and innocent words did not attract much attention from Lu Shi.

She just smiled slightly, thinking it was just a joke said by a child on a whim.
