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

As the son of Heaven, he has a role that is different from others. Perhaps Lu Ciyan was influenced by him and it is not impossible that he is devoted to the Tao.

Lu Shi slowly rolled his eyes, and an idea went around in his mind before settling on one.

Maybe she should let the two disciples spend more time together.

"Ci Yan, as a senior brother, you have rich experience in cultivation. You have been working hard recently. Please guide your junior brother."

"You two are my two disciples. I hope you can get along well with each other."

After saying that, in order not to disturb the two brothers from developing their relationship, Lu Shi took the idle system aside and returned to the cave.

The system didn't want to go back, but Lu Shi locked its throat tightly and pulled its neck, forcing it to go.

Back in the cave, the system finally found its freedom. It casually found a spot to lie down comfortably, and said confidently, as if it had seen through everything, "I know what you're thinking. You've made a mistake."

"I think it's good that they don't fight. How can they possibly get along well?"

The system was outside the three of them. As a bystander, it clearly felt Lu Ciyan's hostility towards Xu Chenjue.

Based on its understanding of Lu Ciyan, he is definitely not up to any good.

Originally, the two brothers didn't stay together, and Lu Ciyan might have been able to bear it, but now the person he hated was right in front of him. Lu Ciyan was a person who loved to seek death, and doing nothing was definitely not his style.

The system originally wanted to stay and watch over them, but unexpectedly the host forcefully dragged it away.

However, Lu Shi didn't believe its nonsense. "It seems like you know a lot. If you know them so well, how could you not know the reason behind Lu Ciyan's sudden change? Are you hiding something from me?"

"Uh..." The system had long thought that the issue had been brushed off during the previous chat, and had never imagined that Lu Shi would bring it up again.

This time, Lu Shi clearly caught the guilty conscience in its eyes. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "What's wrong? Did I really get it right?"

Lu Shi stood up again and choked it, spitting out threatening words from between his teeth, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me? If I find out that you're hindering me from completing the mission, you'll be dead."

The system was strangled to the point of almost rolling its eyes. It flapped its wings and struggled hard, using the unique telepathy between the system and the host to communicate with Lu Shi in its mind.

"Host, please let me go first. I promise to tell you everything I know!"

Lu Shi was satisfied with its answer, but after letting it go, he was still so angry that he slapped its bird's head.

Before the system recovered from the suffocation, it was slapped again, causing it to see stars and almost fall down.

After a long while, the system recovered and spit out unclear memories in a daze.

"Eight years ago, on the night of Lu Ciyan's birthday, he said he wanted to brew wine to celebrate his next birthday. Then the two of us went to the bottom of the cliff in the back mountain to pick ghost grass. However, I accidentally dropped my protective amulet, and then the ghost grass made me lose my mind."

"The scent of the ghost grass is like being drunk to me. Host, you know I can say anything stupid when I'm drunk."

"I didn't remember what I said after I woke up, but it seemed like from that moment on, he became a completely different person..."

The system has told everything it knows, then buried its head under its wings, ready to withstand the wrath of its host.

"The timing is right, it seems like it's your fault."

Lu Shi slammed his hand on the table. The loud noise startled the system, and it said, "Look at what you've done! You've caused me so much trouble!"

Thinking about the life she had led all these years, Lu Shi became more and more angry. She simply walked up to the system, pulled out its head, and mercilessly pulled its cheeks, which were not very fleshy to begin with, to both sides with her hands.

Lu Shi also pulled off one of the three flowing feathers on his head that symbolized auspiciousness.

The system held the feather with a bitter face, but dared not say anything. It only dared to observe the emotions of its host with its eyes.

Lu Shi didn't know what to do now.

The clues given by the system were too vague, so she didn't know what Lu Ciyan knew, nor did she know why he was angry.

After all, she had hidden a lot of things from Lu Ciyan...

But before she could think too much, there was a sudden noise outside the cave.

After Lu Shi left, Lu Ciyan and Xu Chenjue did not get along well.

This was the first time Xu Chenjue met a master who was friendly to him, so he expected that his senior brother must be good too, but he didn't expect that Lu Ciyan really hated him.

After Lu Shi left, Lu Ciyan did not hide his true colors and warned him viciously to stay away from Lu Shi.

"Master is mine. She loves me the most. Don't think that she likes you just because she accepted you as her disciple. She must have accepted you because you are useful to her. Don't be so self-indulgent!"

The malice in Lu Ciyan's eyes almost overflowed, entwined around Xu Chenjue.

Xu Chenjue took a step back and didn't seem to care much about Lu Ciyan's disgust.

He has felt a lot of malice since he was a child, from his parents, relatives, and tribesmen. They not only verbally humiliated him, but also physically suppressed him.

What those people said was vulgar and disgusting, almost to the point of dragging people into the mud. In comparison, what Lu Ciyan said was like children playing house, and had almost no effect on him.

He even thought that his senior brother had really good qualities and was worthy of being taught by his master himself. He would not even say harsh words when he hated someone.

He smiled and meekly echoed Lu Ciyan, "Senior Brother, what you said is true. Master likes you the most. I have never felt that I can replace you in Master's heart."

Lu Ciyan didn’t know whether what he said was true or false, he just knew that it was very pleasing to the ear, and his hostility towards Xu Chenjue was reduced a little.

Xu Chenjue saw this and his impression of his senior brother became even better. The image of a senior brother who was arrogant but wanted to attract the attention of his master began to form in his mind.

He smiled, then sat cross-legged on the mat and began to practice the exercises that his master had just taught him.

But he didn't know that his actions once again aroused Lu Ciyan's anger.

It was because he was practicing Lu Shi’s original ice-based martial arts, which even Lu Ciyan had not learned!

Lu Ciyan was so jealous at this time that he completely forgot the fact that he was mainly practicing fire-based martial arts. Coupled with the instigation of the voice in his mind, he immediately got furious.

"You, fight me!"

Xu Chenjue stopped practicing in confusion and shook his head in refusal, "Brother, I won't fight with you."

"Master won't allow us to fight. Besides, this is Master's Xinglan Peak. Although we can't destroy the entire Xinglan Peak with our cultivation level, it would be unacceptable if we destroyed the flowers, plants and trees that Master planted."

Xu Chenjue seemed to want to reason with Lu Ciyan, so he listed all the points that might make his master angry, but he still couldn't stop Lu Ciyan from going his own way.

"Let's seal the spiritual power and fight!"

After saying that, Lu Ciyan sealed his spiritual power and walked away with his fist raised.
