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

"Do you know that because of your actions, your fellow brothers and the sect's highly respected elders were forced to bear the charge of negligence and were severely punished by the sect!"

Although Lu Shi's tone was not loud, every word he spoke was clear and poured into Lu Ciyan's ears without missing a word.

Lu Ciyan lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and whispered, "Master, I'm sorry."

In fact, he knew that he had done something wrong, but for some reason, he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt in his heart. He apologized because he noticed that his master was angry.

"Now that you're well, you should go and apologize to them in person." Lu Shi said expressionlessly, his tone cold and without a trace of emotion.

"I will follow Master's instructions and do as he says." Lu Ciyan answered immediately without even thinking, appearing very obedient.

Seeing Lu Ciyan's proactive attitude in admitting his mistakes, Lu Shi's originally tense face finally relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in an extremely subtle arc.

"This incident has caused quite a bit of impact. As punishment, you are not allowed to leave Xinglan Peak for the next year. You must concentrate on your cultivation in seclusion here."

Lu Ciyan didn't care about such punishment.

Whether he could leave Xinglan Peak or not made no substantial difference to him. As long as his master stayed on Xinglan Peak, this was the place he wanted to stay the most. He didn't think it was a punishment at all.

He even responded with some pleasure, "Yes, Master."

After a slap in the face, you get a sweet date. Now that the matter is settled, it's time to give the sweet date.

Lu Shi suppressed his smile, his eyes showing a genuine concern. He asked softly, "After you separated from the sect elders, why did you end up in the Land of Ten Thousand Demons?"

After hearing this, Lu Ciyan couldn't help but tremble slightly. He hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head silently again.

He didn't want his master to remember the man named Fu Chen.

He was even more afraid that his master might have some feelings for the other person and would blame him for ruining their reunion.

Although he knew that the possibility was extremely small, Lu Ciyan did not dare to take the slightest risk.

So he just lowered his eyes, shook his head gently, closed his lips tightly, and refused to utter a word.

Lu Shi guessed that this question might damage the other party's image and self-esteem, so Lu Ciyan did not answer her or ask any further questions, but just asked him to go into seclusion to practice and enhance his strength.

In a few years, he will face his life-or-death crisis. Although he has his own protection, he still needs to have some ability to protect himself.

Take this time for example, he did a great job.

Thinking of this, Lu Shi was very confident in completing the task.

Moreover, the disciples she taught this time were much less troublesome than those taught by the original bishop.

However, Lu Shi soon realized that her idea was wrong, and completely wrong.

……

Time always passes quickly in the world of cultivating immortals. Before you know it, ten years have passed quietly.

In the near future, the Qingxu Sect will hold its ten-year disciple selection competition.

At this time, the atmosphere in the sect became extremely heated due to the approaching of this important selection competition.

The elders of the sect who usually live in seclusion and don't care about worldly affairs can no longer contain their excitement and anticipation. In order to find a disciple with outstanding talent and excellent qualifications, they have volunteered to go to the mortal world to select a suitable candidate.

They flew to various places on flying boats, and the sect suddenly became deserted.

On the Xinglan Peak, white snow fell gently, covering the entire mountain, making this already quiet and peaceful place even more cold and desolate, with almost no trace of worldly life.

Inside the cave, the bored Lu Shi finally gave up his pretentious meditation and flipped through a book he had confiscated from Lu Ciyan with great interest.

If you look more closely, you will find that there is a pile of similar storybooks piled up randomly under the foot of her bed.

As expected, all of these were confiscated from Lu Ciyan.

That guy might want to fall in love, so the storybook in her hand is all about love between men and women.

For example, the book in her hand tells the story of a male monk who has a crush on a proud girl and accidentally becomes possessed by a demon. He then forcibly imprisons and seizures the girl, and finally has a happy ending with the monk winning her heart.

Lu Shi thought it was quite exciting and was almost at the end.

But in this beautiful time, there are always people who are ignorant enough to cause trouble for her.

"Oh no, oh no!" Bursts of shouts came from far and near.

Lu Shi didn't even glance at the system that had rushed in. He just covered his forehead with his hands as if he had a headache. "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Lu Ciyan ran to the Dongchen Kingdom's palace, beat up the emperor and the princes, and then set fire to the palace. He is now wanted by the palace's masters..."

Facing the increasingly dangerous gaze of its host, the system spoke in a lower and lower voice, and finally simply lowered its head, staring at its claws in silence.

"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him and prevent him from getting into trouble?"

The system also felt a little aggrieved, "Host, you can't even control him, let alone me..."

It is just a small spiritual crane, with no other abilities. It can only fly and can barely carry people as a mount.

Even before it could speak human language, it took it two years of practice.

As for the troublemaking Lu Ciyan, it couldn't defeat him, so how could the other party listen to it if it just tried to persuade him verbally?

"Oh!" Lu Shi sighed heavily, and his head seemed to hurt even more.

She could never understand why he was such a well-behaved little boy before. At most, he was a little clingy and liked to hug her, but he actually listened to what her master said.

The occasional little troubles were rarely caused by him, and after resolving them, she would apologize to him with tears in her eyes, for fear of making her angry.

But I don’t know when the well-behaved child suddenly changed.

He began to stir up trouble as much as possible. It wouldn't be called stirring up trouble, but rather that he liked to make small things into big things and big things into unsolvable problems.

For example, it was obviously a good deed of bravery, and the other party had apologized to the victim due to his strength, but he chose to use harsh words to provoke the other party, and it finally escalated into a showdown between a family and Xinglan Peak.

For example, when several disciples of the sect were training together in a secret realm, they would take the treasures and run away. He had so many magic weapons that he could just run away even if he couldn't win. But he just wanted to show off in front of that group of people who were already jealous, and even mocked the other party for having no strength.

Who can tolerate this!

They are all geniuses in the sect, who is more noble than the other?

So a group of people started fighting.

Unfortunately, Lu Ciyan's talent is not high, and his cultivation after ten years is far inferior to others.

Although they were fellow Taoists, they would not kill each other, but those who were angered were young and hot-headed, and they did not know how to control their strength.

In the end, it was Lu Shi who sensed Lu Ciyan's dangerous situation and went to save him.

There were other things, big and small... Lu Shi didn't want to think about them. In short, it was just Lu Ciyan's big suicide scene.

"You said... Is there something wrong with my upbringing? Why did he still follow the same path as the original owner, and it seems even more excessive."

A hint of guilt flashed in the system's eyes. It lowered its head so Lu Shi wouldn't notice. Its clear, childlike voice was a bit ambiguous, "No... I'm not sure."
