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

Taking advantage of his physical discomfort, Lu Ciyan pestered Lu Shi for a long time. He did not reveal his rebellious thoughts. It seemed that he suddenly had an epiphany, turned over a new leaf, and no longer had any other thoughts about Lu Shi.

"Master, I was wrong in the past. You were too good to me, and I mistakenly thought my dependence on you was love, which caused you trouble."

His expression was innocent and sincere. Lying on the bed, he looked sick and pitifully tugged at the corner of Lu Shi's clothes.

"Master, I've been having nightmares lately. I dreamed that Master would abandon me because of what happened before..."

"But I didn't mean to do that. I lost my mother when I was young, and my master never taught me how to recognize feelings. Those storybooks..."

He hesitated to speak out all the reasons, completely putting himself in the position of the victim and playing the victim.

"Master, can you stay with me? I'm scared."

The other party put himself in a low position and carefully prayed that Lu Shi, who was in a high position, could give him a little love.

Lu Ciyan also emphasized that this was a normal interaction between a master and a disciple, fearing that Lu Shi would reject him on this basis.

Now that he said that, Lu Shi couldn't possibly not give him face.

So Lu Ciyan, whose health was almost recovered, was forced to stay in bed for several more days until the day before the secret realm opened.

Everyone always arrives at the secret realm one day in advance, and this time is no exception.

Lu Ciyan packed his things slowly while Xu Chenjue beside him busied himself. "It's dangerous outside, take care of yourself, brother. This is the elixir I prepared for you, please don't be reluctant to eat it."

"This is the clothes I prepared for you, brother. It's cold outside, so please keep warm."

"I also made some snacks for my senior brother. Although he's already fasting, they're still good as snacks."

"and this……"

Xu Chenjue took out items one by one from his storage bag, and soon the entire table was filled with them.

If you look closely, you'll find that what he holds is useless.

The pills were made by him recently. Although the hero has a very high talent for alchemy and the pills he makes are better than those made by others, he cannot become a fat man by eating them all in one breath. These pills are almost incomparable to the life-saving elixir that Lu Shi gave him.

And those mortal clothes are not warm enough no matter how much you wear them, and are far inferior to the clothes and magic weapons that Lu Shi gave him. They are warm and beautiful, and can also resist several enemy attacks.

And the food...

Xu Chenjue himself said that Lu Ciyan had been practicing fasting for a long time, so it didn't matter whether he ate or not.

Lu Ciyan's heart was calm, but he still accepted it all seriously and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Xu Chenjue was very happy that he accepted his kindness. He happily took out a pile of top-grade spirit stones and put them into his storage bag.

Spirit stones are the currency circulating in the world of immortal cultivation and can be used to purchase various things.

These top-grade spirit stones were given to him by Lu Shi. Although they may not be used in the secret realm, there will always be a time when they will be useful.

Xu Chenjue treated Lu Ciyan as if she were his living sister, and earnestly told her to be careful, not to be impulsive, and to think twice before acting.

This appearance clearly shows that he is more competent than his master Lu Shi.

However, Lu Ciyan's gaze fell quietly on Lu Shi who was sitting behind him.

Lu Shi calmly drank a sip of hot tea, as if he didn't notice his gaze. "Everything is ready, let's go."

"Yeah." Not hearing the concern he wanted, Lu Ciyan looked depressed. He responded sullenly and slowly left.

After they left, Lu Shi stood up and said to Xu Chenjue beside him, "I will be in seclusion for a period of time. The duration is indefinite. If you have any questions, you can go to your uncle, the head master."

Seeing Xu Chenjue nod, Lu Shi no longer wasted time. He slipped out of the room and instantly changed his appearance and appeared on the flying boat.

At this moment, she has transformed from a cold and aloof master into a handsome young man, and just standing there she has become a beautiful scenery.

Some disciples were curious about the unfamiliar faces and wanted to go over to say hello, but Lu Shi avoided them without a trace and hid in a corner of the flying boat.

The Qiyun Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and only disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage are allowed to enter. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage will have their cultivation suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage after entering.

Because of this restriction, this secret realm is usually a place for major sects to train their disciples.

However, Lu Shi did not want to be too high-profile. After all, she was just an "unknown" disciple, and her strength being too high would arouse suspicion, so she positioned herself as being in the middle stage of foundation building.

The elder in charge of leading the team is at the Refinement Void Realm. Once he enters the secret realm, he will be suppressed to the Nascent Soul Realm. The same is true for the elders leading teams from other sects. It seems relatively fair.

The flying boat carrying the disciples who were training was flying towards Qiyun Town at a high speed.

Lu Shi stood in the corner and looked at the crowd, looking for a familiar figure.

Lu Ciyan was standing not far from her, with several disciples surrounding him, talking excitedly about something.

I didn't expect this guy to be so popular.

Lu Shi withdrew his gaze and had no intention of going forward to join in the fun.

There are plenty of opportunities to build good relationships, so there is no need to rush.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ciyan in the crowd glanced coldly at the disciple beside him, his eyes swept over everyone around him, and finally fixed on Lu Shi who was looking at the scenery in the corner.

His expression suddenly relaxed, and he quietly walked through the crowd to the corner where Lu Shi was, looking down at the worldly fireworks under the flying boat.

They played the roles of two strangers very well, and had no words in tacit understanding. They seemed to be strangers who happened to be standing in the same small space, but they never felt awkward.

A warm and quiet atmosphere spread, and Lu Ciyan couldn't help but break the silence.

"Which peak are you from? I'm Lu Ciyan from Xinglan Peak."

Lu Shi casually reported the name of a mountain, "Yunjian Peak, Qi Jin."

Forgive her, I'm just too lazy to think of a name.

I just don't know how the other party will react after hearing this.

Lu Shi turned around and observed silently, not missing a single expression on his face, but it was obvious that the other party had no memory of the previous small world, so there was nothing wrong with hearing this name.

In fact, Lu Shi didn't know that Lu Ciyan, who had a calm expression, had already been in turmoil in his heart.

Qi Jin...

He had heard this name before. In his dream, someone was calling him: Xiao Jin, A Jin.

How could his master know this name?

Could it be that Master has also encountered this in his dreams?

Or in other words, do people really have past lives and present lives?

Does that mean that he and his master are destined to be together?

Thinking of this, Lu Ciyan could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and bursts of muffled laughter came from his throat, "Qi Jin, how about you and I going together?"

"Okay." Lu Shi also smiled back.

"Can I call you Xiao Jin?"

The word "Xiao Jin" circled on the tip of his tongue, with a hint of lingering affection, which made Lu Shi's heart skip a beat.

This name... sounds a little familiar.

She calmed herself down, raised her lips and smiled, "It's just a name, whatever you're used to."

"Okay, Xiao Jin." Lu Ciyan responded gently and uttered her name again.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Lu Shi's eyes.

Does this guy really not remember anything?

Or is it that he is just such a self-familiar person, and she, as his master for ten years, didn't notice it?

Before he could figure it out, Lu Ciyan approached and put his arm around her shoulders like a brother, "Xiao Jin, you can also call me Ciyan. My master calls me that, too."

When Lu Shi became Qi Hou, he was portrayed in a one-to-one ratio based on his height and appearance. He was about the same height as Lu Ci Yan, but unexpectedly, it was just the right height for him to put his hand on his shoulder.

She moved her shoulders slightly, and the next second she felt the strength in Lu Ciyan's hand increase. With a force, the distance between her and Lu Ciyan was shortened again.

Thinking about his "mid-stage foundation building" personality, he thought his strength could not match that of Lu Ciyan, who was in the early stage of the golden elixir. Lu Shi stopped making small moves and called out softly, "Ciyan."

"Hey!"

The young man's bright smile was undisguised. "Don't worry, I'll protect you once we enter the secret realm!"

"Okay." Lu Shi also laughed.

In the sunlight, the two people's smiles were stained with golden light, brilliant yet with a hint of mystery.

Lu Shi and Lu Ciyan: It’s not certain who is protecting whom.
