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

Xu Chenjue was a little surprised that his senior brother was actually going to do it for real, but the fist was already coming towards him, and he didn't have time to think too much before he went forward to meet it.

Lu Ciyan has been killing people since he was a child, and his ruthlessness is beyond Xu Chenjue's reach. Even his agility has been honed to perfection during the years of chasing and killing, so Lu Ciyan always has the upper hand.

But Xu Chenjue is better in one aspect, that is, he can take a beating.

In that cannibalistic family, he was often beaten, and his skin became thick and tough. No matter how hard Lu Ciyan tried, he never made a sound.

On the other hand, Lu Ciyan was spoiled by Lu Shi during the ten years he spent at Xinglan Peak. He was given all the good things and was raised to be delicate and tender. Although he would get injured from time to time due to his own suicidal behavior, Lu Shi would always give him the best medicine.

Therefore, after being counterattacked by Xu Chenjue with a few punches, she frowned coquettishly.

Xu Chenjue immediately stopped attacking and asked with concern, "Brother, I'm using too much force."

But his concern seemed to have a different meaning to Lu Ciyan. He said with a slightly sarcastic look: "You look down on me? Come again!"

Xu Chenjue clasped his fists and saluted, "Senior Brother, please give me some advice."

The two men fought again, neither side holding back. Lu Ciyan's face was covered in bruises, but Xu Chenjue showed no visible scars.

Suddenly, Lu Ciyan stopped for some reason and stood still as he was hit hard by Xu Chenjue's punch.

"Hiss!" Lu Ciyan gasped in pain, his face suddenly swelled up into a big bump, and his body was pushed to the ground by the impact.

Xu Chenjue aimed his punch at Lu Ciyan's face. He thought he could dodge it with the other party's flexible movement, but he didn't expect it to hit him. He stood there, his expression a little dazed for a moment.

After recovering from his shock, Xu Chenjue immediately stepped forward, his eyes filled with guilt, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I thought you could get away with it..."

He observed the wound on Lu Ciyan's face, which looked very serious, so he said to him, "Brother, please wait a moment. I'll go get you some medicine."

Lu Ciyan fiercely waved his hand away and said unkindly: "I will tell Master that you harmed your fellow disciples!"

He stood up nimbly and ran towards Lu Shi. Xu Chenjue tried to stop him in a panic but failed. He could only watch him run towards Lu Shi's cave with a nimble figure. There was no sign that he was seriously injured.

Xu Chenjue vaguely felt that his senior brother was deliberately looking for a fight with him.

Perhaps the master has recently accepted me as a disciple and has ignored me, so I now want to deliberately attract the master's attention.

Xu Chenjue felt that he had discovered the truth, and he was no longer as panicked as before.

My senior brother is just a little insecure and won’t kick me out.

Xu Chenjue felt relieved and went back to his cabin to get medicine. He then walked slowly to the cave, as if intentionally giving Lu Ciyan time to complain.

Lu Ciyan hadn't even reached the cave yet, but he was already howling from a distance. When he got in front of Lu Shi, he was limping. His face was so swollen that it was hard to see his features. He looked so pitiful.

But this miserable look seemed a little funny, and Lu Shi pinched his thigh hard to stop himself from laughing.

She cleared her throat and asked seriously, "What happened? How did it become like this?"

Lu Ciyan threw herself into Lu Shi's arms without hesitation, hugging her slender waist. After whimpering twice, she began to complain: "Master, your new disciple pretends to obey but actually disobeys, and beat me up when you were away."

"My cultivation level is higher than his, so I didn't dare to attack him, fearing that I would accidentally hurt him and upset my master. I didn't expect him to think that I couldn't beat him and provoke him, and even attacked again without respecting the law."

"Master, you must take charge of Ci Yan!"

Lu Ciyan howled a few more times at the top of his lungs, but there was only thunder but no rain. He buried his head in Lu Shi's arms and kept nodding, his hands tightening restlessly.

Lu Shi's face was filled with black lines. He glanced at the system that was watching the show from the side, and asked in his mind, "How much do you think he can believe what he said?"

"Zero!" The system didn't hesitate at all.

"I think so."

Great minds think alike. The man and the crane looked at Lu Ciyan who was still acting seriously, and couldn't help feeling tired.

At this time, Xu Chenjue, who "had no respect for the law", also came and immediately bowed to Lu Shi politely, "Disciple greets Master."

Lu Shi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart.

Look, look, how can they be compared? Xu Chenjue looks like a handsome young man, gentle and polite. How could he be like what Lu Ciyan said?

But in order to make Lu Ciyan give up, Lu Shi still asked, "Your senior brother just said that you deliberately bullied him. Is that true?"

Hearing this, Xu Chenjue looked at Lu Ciyan and received a slightly provocative look from him. He couldn't help but laugh, "It's my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment."

The words Lu Shi wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

How come this is different from what she had expected? Why did she admit it?

Lu Ciyan was also a little confused. He thought there would be an argument. He had even thought about how the two would confront each other, but he didn't expect that these words would be of no use at all.

Is this guy a fool!

Lu Ciyan looked at Xu Chenjue with some suspicion, but found that the other party seemed to be really willing to admit the crime.

He immediately buried his head in Lu Shi's arms again without interest, concentrating on feeling the unique fragrance on her body.

"In that case, I will ground you for two months."

The punishment Lu Shi gave was not severe at all, and Xu Chenjue accepted it obediently.

In fact, in a place unknown to Lu Ciyan, Lu Shi had sent a message to Xu Chenjue, "What your senior brother said must be false, right?"

Xu Chenjue hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Lu Shi sighed softly, "Your senior brother is spoiled, but he has no ill intentions. You...you should bear with him."

To be honest, Lu Shi felt a little embarrassed when she said this. Letting her junior brother take responsibility for her senior brother might be the only situation like this in her family.

But it’s no big deal for Xu Chenjue.

Although he is a junior brother, he is two years older than Lu Ciyan. After knowing the other's temperament, he treats him as his own brother.

Therefore, after hearing Lu Shi's words, he nodded solemnly, as if Lu Shi had handed over a particularly important matter to him.

Lu Shi once again sighed at the male protagonist's kindness, and then looked down at Lu Ciyan who was still clinging to him. There is no harm without comparison...

She asked Xu Chenjue to go down first. After leaving the medicine, he walked out of the cave.

Ugh.

"Still arching, doesn't your face hurt?"

Lu Shi placed his fingertips on his forehead and slowly pushed him away, revealing his hidden face, which was covered with bruises and purple scars, and his cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, which was shocking.

How cruel to myself, Lu Shi closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

Since he was so good at acting, Lu Shi didn't plan to use her spiritual power to help him heal his wounds and reduce swelling. It would be a waste of her spiritual power and would also make the other party suffer.

It just so happened that Xu Chenjue had just brought some ointment with him, which came in handy.

Lu Shi squeezed some ointment onto his hand, put some on his fingertips, and gently rubbed it on the scarred area.

The ointment felt cool and refreshing, similar in temperature to Lu Shi’s fingertips.

She moved her face a little closer because she wanted to apply the medicine, and this not-so-ambiguous distance made Lu Ciyan blush instantly, and she didn't even dare to breathe freely.

He stared at Lu Shiying's pale face infatuatedly, not daring to blink. His heartbeat became faster and faster, gradually disturbing his breathing. His face became more and more rosy because he was afraid to breathe deeply, and even his neck was flushed.

His eyes were full of light, as if sparkling with gems.

Lu Shi's fingertips, which were applying the medicine, suddenly stopped because the skin under his hands had turned red without him noticing.

"But are you feeling unwell?" she asked quickly.

Even my neck is red. Could it be that I’m allergic to the ointment?

Lu Ciyan exhaled sharply, his heartbeat slowing down a bit. He shook his head anxiously in denial, "I'm fine. Please, Master, continue to apply the medicine to me."

The hard-earned benefits cannot be ruined by a disappointing physical reaction.

Lu Ciyan raised his head and took the initiative to move closer, holding Lu Shi's fingers and pressing them against his face...
