Yu Chao opened two rooms and set up restrictions in Chu Mu's room before returning to his room to practice with peace of mind.

The night passed quickly, and Chu Mu had nightmares all night long.

In his dream, every time he did something bad, Yu Chao would appear in front of him with a sword across his neck.

Chu Mu struggled to wake up from the nightmare. He was so frightened that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He sat up suddenly and gasped for breath.

Then, I saw Yu Chao’s face again, which haunted me both in my dreams and in reality.

Scary, thrilling, horrible.

"you're awake."

Early in the morning, Yu Chao gave Chu Mu a good morning smile, which made Chu Mu shiver again.

Seeing this, Yu Chao asked in confusion, "You're shaking...what are you afraid of?"

Chu Mu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Nothing, just a nightmare."

"I see." Yu Chao nodded, then said, "Wash up, pack your things, and let's go to Zhongzhou."

Chu Mu lost his composure, his heart instantly sinking to the bottom. He said in a cold voice, "What? You want to take me to Linshui Mountain again? Let me die to atone for my sins?"

"No," Yu Chao explained quickly, "Let's go to Chaoyun Cottage."

Chu Mu sneered, "Why would I go to Chaoyun Cottage? The people there don't like me."

"No... your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's not advisable for you to run around."

Yu Chao coughed twice and continued, "Although the muscle-growing pill is very effective, my father said that the wounds that heal quickly after taking the pill may appear to be healed on the surface, but in reality they are not... If you don't take good care of your body, it will leave a root cause of the disease."

You may not feel it when you are young, but when you get older, these hidden diseases that have accumulated over the years will break out and become uncontrollable, and may even threaten the cultivator's lifespan and life.

Hearing this, Chu Mu was startled, then he said, "What does hidden illness have to do with you?"

"How come it's none of my business?" Yu Chao's voice was slightly hurried. She also realized her own problem and then slowed down her voice. "I was the one who hurt you, so of course I have to take responsibility... I'll take care of your injury."

Chu Mu said speechlessly, "I don't want you to be responsible anymore, please let me go."

"No, this will affect your lifespan." Yu Chao said firmly, "Come back to Chaoyun Cottage with me. There are many medicinal herbs in Chaoyun Cottage that can help you recuperate."

"You really don't need to be responsible, but you still force yourself to take responsibility... That's not right, why does it feel so weird to say that?"

Chu Mu finally realized how strange and bizarre their conversation was.

After Chu Mu's reminder, Yu Chao was also stunned, but she didn't care about that, so she simply forcibly tied Chu Mu back to Chaoyun Villa.

Chaoyun Cottage is located in Xiyun Mountain among the Ten Thousand Mountains in Zhongzhou. It has beautiful scenery. Most of the people living there are people rescued by Yu Chao. Some practice cultivation while others clean. It looks harmonious and orderly.

"Master Yu is back!"

A young swordsman who looked quite young threw away his sword and ran over with a happy look on his face. Everyone else did the same.

When the young man saw Chu Mu, his expression suddenly turned bad. He sneered, "Oh, the ungrateful bastard still knows how to come back."

"Li Yang, don't be rude." Before Chu Mu could say anything unpleasant, Yu Chao spoke quickly.

Li Yang glanced at Chu Mu angrily and said nothing more.

Yu Chao took Chu Mu to the courtyard where he lived, asked someone to clean up the guest rooms in the courtyard, and then asked Li Yang to take Chu Mu around the villa, while he went out and was busy with something unknown.

Li Yang and Chu Mu naturally disliked each other.

"Go ahead and do your thing. I still remember the way. I'll go out for a walk and be back soon."

"Humph!"

Li Yang snorted coldly and turned away.

Chu Mu was strolling around Chaoyun Cottage alone.

Chaoyun Cottage is very large, and its backyard is directly connected to Xiyun Mountain. A waterfall cascades down the mountain like a white jade belt, pouring down among the rocks.

Chu Mu walked slowly along the winding stone path. There was a pavilion in front of him. There seemed to be a person sitting in the pavilion. The water vapor blurred the figure of the person and it was not very clear.

He had seen many people in Chaoyun Cottage, but he had no impression of this person.

He was curious and couldn't help but take a few steps forward. The scene in front of him went from hazy to clear.

This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, dressed in white, with his black hair half tied up and half tied. He is extremely handsome, with a temperament as flawless as jade, as transcendent as a banished immortal in a painting, graceful and otherworldly like a dream, completely unlike an ordinary person

However, the man's eyes were covered with a green ribbon, making it difficult to see his full appearance, which made people feel a little regretful.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, and seeing someone approaching, the blindfolded man turned his head and seemed to be looking at Chu Mu through the blue ribbon. "Chao'er has brought people back to the villa again... My friend, please sit down."

Chu Mu seemed to be bewitched, and only reacted when he sat opposite the blindfolded man.

As a small-time hoodlum who had been around for a while, he immediately became alert: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before in Chaoyun Cottage?"

The blindfolded man stretched out his slender fingers, and produced a cup of tea from nowhere, handing it to Chu Mu. "My name is Yu Che, Yu Chao's father. I live in Linshui Mountain and have been staying here for a while. What's your name, young man? Were you also rescued by Chao'er?"

"My name is Chu Mu, she kidnapped me back..."

Speaking of this, Chu Mu felt depressed and desperate. Yu Chao insisted on tying him up, and he couldn't beat Yu Chao, so he couldn't resist at all.

Chu Mu quickly put aside this unpleasant thing and changed the subject.

He looked at the blindfolded man with some doubt, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Senior Yu, your eyes..."

"I'm not blind." As if he knew what Chu Mu was thinking, the blindfolded man explained, "It's just that they are a little special. I didn't want to scare people, so I covered my eyes with a ribbon... Young friend, do you want to see?"

"Yeah." Chu Mu nodded. He was very curious about his father's overall appearance.

Yu Che took off the blue ribbon, revealing his beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and then opened his eyes.

Inside his eye sockets are a pair of heterochromatic pupils.

One has a strange red eye, and the other has a green eye with a cold light.

Maybe it was because of the light, his pupils were dilated and looked particularly strange.

Being stared at by such eyes gives me an indescribable strange feeling.

Yu Che tied the blue ribbon again and said, "I guess I scared you, little friend."

"That's not the case," Chu Mu remained calm and continued, "Senior Yu's eyes are truly special."

Then, Chu Mu chatted with Yu Che for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Che showed Chu Mu the way back, and Chu Mu left.

He still didn't see Yu Chao, but he did get a bowl of dark medicine.

"Master Yu asked you to drink the medicine after dinner." Li Yang still had a sour face. After placing the medicine bowl on the table, he moved away from Chu Mu.

If possible, he really wanted to poison the medicine and kill this ungrateful person.

"What the hell is this?"

Chu Mu looked at the black potion, picked up a spoon and stirred it, then leaned forward to sniff it.

What entered my nose was a pungent smell mixed with the fragrance of medicine.

Smelling the smell, Chu Mu felt a moment of disgust and doubt, "Can this be drunk?"

Li Yang rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What else could it be? It's a tonic made from a lot of precious spiritual plants. Drink it if you want."

"Oh."

Chu Mu scooped a spoonful, hesitated for a moment, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

A bitter taste suddenly filled his mouth, causing his entire face to twist.

Chu Mu immediately put down the spoon, frowned and pushed the medicine aside. Because of his big movement, the medicine spilled all over the table.

"It tastes so bad!"

Li Yang's eyes widened, extremely angry, "You..."

Lord Yu personally prepared the medicine, but this guy actually dared to refuse to drink it!

"what happened?"

When Li Yang saw Yu Chao coming, he immediately complained, "Master Yu, this man is so ungrateful that he refuses to take his medicine!"

Yu Chao looked at Chu Mu. Chu Mu stood up and looked at Yu Chao, deliberately raising his voice, "Yu Chao, are you planning to murder me with this medicine? It's so bitter, are you planning to make me die of bitterness and then succeed in your plot?"

Chu Mu thought Yu Chao would be very angry.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chao just calmly picked up the bowl, took a small sip, and then turned to Li Yang to give instructions.

"Li Yang, go get another bowl of medicine from the medicine jar, and get some malt sugar and candied fruit from the kitchen."

Chu Mu: “…”

Li Yang cursed Chu Mu a thousand times in his heart, but still obediently did as Yu Chao ordered.

Taking the new medicine, Yu Chao patiently advised: "Drink it, it has sugar in it, so it's not bitter."

"No."

Just as Chu Mu refused to drink the medicine, the extremely sharp and cold Broken Evil Sword fell in front of Chu Mu.

Five centimeters away from Chu Mu's arm, the tip of the sword sank fiercely into the table beside him, and the hilt was still shaking in the air.

Yu Chao's relatively gentle voice sounded again, "Do you want to take the medicine?"

"……drink."

"Drink the medicine well. When you recover, I will take you away from Chaoyun Cottage."

Yu Chao made a promise.
