I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Luo Suichen remained unconscious.

Chu Chenmu rummaged through the original owner's storage bag but couldn't find any suitable medicine for nourishing the meridians. After thinking for a moment, he sent a telepathic message to Senior Brother Yunlu, asking him to keep an eye out. It wasn't that there weren't many things for nourishing the meridians; the main problem was that Luo Suichen was only a Qi Refining stage disciple. Some overly precious items, not to mention that he wasn't qualified to use them, even if they were given to him, it was uncertain whether he could withstand the medicinal power. He might even explode and die.

"To put it simply, a wild boar cannot eat fine chaff."

Chu Chenmu didn't leave. He thought that when Luo Suichen woke up, if he saw him first thing, he would realize that it was him who saved him, applied medicine to him, and fed him water. He would definitely change his opinion of him a lot, and maybe he would die a quicker death then.

Half a day later, Tian Yige and Su Chengdian arrived. They had seen Luo Suichen's injuries and felt sorry for him. This junior brother usually seemed so gentle and mild-mannered; how did he suddenly become so ruthless?

Could it be that he heard something from someone or was triggered by something?

Chu Chenmu didn't let them stay too long. Firstly, the two of them had just gone through the sect competition and must have gained something; they needed to go into seclusion to digest it. Secondly, Tian Yige had also suffered a minor injury during the competition, so it wasn't good for her to stay there for long. Thirdly... these two young masters and ladies from wealthy families had no experience in taking care of people, and he was afraid that the New Year's Eve dinner incident would happen again, leaving him to take care of three people by himself; he wouldn't even have time to cry then.

Chu Chenmu then dismissed them all and waited here for Luo Suichen to wake up.

This wait lasted for nearly three more days.

At first, Chu Chenmu sat upright in the chair very properly, but after sitting for an afternoon, he felt very uncomfortable, so he simply lay down at the foot of Luo Suichen's bed, found a comfortable position, and started reading a storybook.

When Luo Suichen woke up, he felt an unusual heaviness and numbness in his right leg, as if it was about to lose sensation. His heart sank. Could it be that the fight had been too intense, damaging his foundation?!

She quickly propped herself up to check on the wound, not even caring that it would aggravate her injury. But after only one glance, she lay back down on the bed.

I can't quite describe how I feel, but it's mostly unbelievable.

If he wasn't mistaken, the person sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed, using his right leg as a pillow, was his master? Was it the arrogant Venerable Xuanxiao from his previous life? Or Elder Pojun of the Wuji Sect?

Did he go mad and harbor resentment over something like this in his past life?

At that moment, he felt quite demeaning.

However, Chu Chenmu's presence here was quite unexpected for Luo Suichen.

Moreover, he noticed that his spiritual power had recovered somewhat, and his wounds had been carefully... well, roughly bandaged. Apart from being extremely hungry and having a numb right leg, there were no major problems.

Could it be that Chu Chenmu has been taking care of me all this time?

When the thought popped into Luo Suichen's mind, his first feeling was disbelief, followed by a surge of emotion. When these emotions subsided, only one thought remained: if it was him, then Chu Chenmu's bandaging technique was really terrible.

It was so bad that he felt it would heal faster if it weren't bandaged.

He moved his legs, but Chu Chenmu still didn't wake up.

Oh, another thought: he's sleeping really soundly.

He should have been disgusted by Chu Chenmu's close contact with him, after all, this person was his enemy from two lifetimes, but perhaps because Chu Chenmu had just saved him, he didn't feel any resistance at the moment.

When Chu Chenmu woke up, he instinctively reached out to feel Luo Suichen's forehead, just like he had done the previous two days. Then he beckoned for a glass of water and was about to feed it to Luo Suichen. Looking down, he realized that Luo Suichen was already awake, his dark eyes fixed on him.

Chu Chenmu had only one thought:

"Why is this kid staring at me like that? Could it be that he's realized the water I'm about to feed him is stale water?"

But how could he possibly boil water for him day and night until he woke up? Water left overnight is already quite precious, so don't be too picky.

At this moment, Luo Suichen spoke up, his voice a little hoarse: "Master, it is because I am incompetent that I failed to win first place in the sect competition and lost to Senior Brother Sun."

"Oh, so you're bringing up old grievances. I thought you'd discovered it was leftover water from the night before."

Startled him.

Wait... are they bringing up old grievances?!

What do you mean by saying he's incompetent? It's like no one can tell he's being sarcastic.

Fortunately, Chu Chenmu hadn't read so many novels in the previous three months for nothing. Ever since he learned that this mission would increase Luo Suichen's hatred towards him, he started thinking of a reasonable excuse to get away with it.

Now it's his turn to perform.

"How do you know I'm angry?" Although he was asking Luo Suichen, he used a declarative tone.

Without waiting for Luo Suichen's reply, he continued, "I am angry, but not because you failed to win first place. I am angry that you didn't listen to what your teacher said at all."

Of course, we can't give Luo Suichen a chance to speak. We need to take advantage of the fact that he has just woken up and his mind may not be working properly yet, and quickly deceive him first.

Luo Suichen looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Before the competition, I repeatedly emphasized that safety comes first, but you still suffered such a serious injury. Of course I’m angry. I’m angry that you didn’t take your body seriously.”

Luo Suichen recalled that after the sect competition in his previous life, many disciples in the sect were saying that he was not good enough to be Chu Chenmu's disciple, and that he had disgraced his master in the sect competition. Now he was being rejected.

However, in his previous life, he had never heard Chu Chenmu explain why he disliked him. He deduced the truth based solely on what his disciples said, but he never asked them whether what they said was true, nor did he inquire about Chu Chenmu's true thoughts.

Could it be that Chu Chenmu was telling the truth, and he was only angry because I didn't take care of my body? But why did he insist on challenging his senior brother, who was much more powerful than him, in his past life? This doesn't make sense.

Luo Suichen was unwilling to believe what Chu Chenmu had just said, or rather, he dared not believe it. Because the development of this life was becoming increasingly different from his memories of the previous life, he feared that in his previous life he might have wrongly hated Chu Chenmu because he hadn't understood the situation clearly.

If someone has harbored hatred for two lifetimes, and has done all sorts of ruthless things, and then discovers that they were wrong to hate, and that things weren't as dark as they thought, that person will break down.

So now Luo Suichen is in this situation, he doesn't dare to believe Chu Chenmu's words, but he also has a little hope that they are all true.

But even if it were true, so what? The things Chu Chenmu had done to himself were not as simple as just a sect competition.

Luo Suichen's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't answer Chu Chenmu for a moment. Chu Chenmu, seeing Luo Suichen's uncertain expression, also felt unsure of himself, and after a moment's thought, decided to change the subject:

Are you hungry?

Luo Suichen's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to reality when he realized that Chu Chenmu had asked such a... idiotic question.
