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

Wujimen.

Wan Junfeng.

"Reporting to Master, everything is ready. However, after I subtly probed a few times, Junior Brother Yunlu seemed somewhat... resistant."

A middle-aged man sat in the main seat where Ren Junmo usually held meetings, tapping his fingers lightly on the table beside him. He seemed nonchalant, yet he exuded an air of quiet authority.

Upon hearing this, the man in the seat of honor slightly raised his eyes and looked at his eldest disciple, Wu Chushan, who was still standing respectfully below with his head bowed, waiting for orders. Li Chenglin said calmly, "It's alright. Yunlu is the kind of person who doesn't compete or fight. So let's keep this from him. In the end, whether he's here or not won't affect our plans."

"Yes, disciple, I obey."

"Then may I ask, Master, shall we begin now?"

"No rush. You should secretly plant your people first, and make sure to do it flawlessly. Junior brother... oh... Sect Master, breaking through from the Tribulation Transcending stage to the Mahayana stage is not easy. Whether you can come out of this seclusion is unknown. Besides, with that flower, at most eight years... no, five years, the grand plan can be accomplished."

"Disciple congratulates Master!" Wu Chushan's face lit up with joy. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Li Chenglin. After a pause, he observed Li Chenglin's expression and carefully considered his words before speaking: "Congratulations, Sect Master."

Li Chenglin raised his hand to stop him, his eyes flickering, but his tone was slightly serious: "Don't say anything more. I am only acting as the sect leader. Once my junior brother comes out of seclusion, I will return him."

However, there was no sign of displeasure on his face; he was clearly very pleased.

"Yes, it was my presumptuous statement."

……

knock knock.

late at night.

Chu Chenmu was still angry that he had been poisoned by "Tian Jie Wan" again when he heard a knock on the door.

Startled, he quickly used his senses to perceive that Luo Suichen was standing outside the door.

"How did this 'living father' end up here?"

Chu Chenmu reluctantly got up, straightened his clothes, and tidied up the bed that had been messy from the earlier commotion. He also put the storybook into his storage ring before going to open the door.

"Come in. Don't disturb your two senior brothers and sisters."

Chu Chenmu turned and went into the house. Seeing that Luo Suichen had also entered, he raised his hand to set up a soundproof barrier.

Luo Suichen had been staring intently at the closed door. Hearing the sounds coming from inside, but Chu Chenmu didn't open the door for a long time, he felt inexplicably irritated.

But after hearing Chu Chenmu say something, he felt inexplicably relaxed and comfortable.

He was meditating in his room that night when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the window. He tried to probe it with his mind but found nothing. He went to investigate and opened the window, but still found nothing, only smelling a faint fragrance.

Someone just passed by the window, but he didn't sense their presence, which shows that this person's cultivation level is higher than his current level.

Moreover, the scent was strangely familiar; he felt as if he had smelled it before, yet it seemed so distant.

If not this life, then it must be a past life.

who can that be?

What is this fragrance?

Luo Suichen stopped meditating and kept recalling scenes from his past life.

Suddenly, he had a thought. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he had been humiliated, and the two junior disciples who had humiliated him had this same smell.

Could they be from the Wuji Sect?

Were they here on a mission, or were they specifically following them?

Is it a coincidence or is there another reason?

He didn't know which peak the two disciples who bullied him in his past life came from, but he remembered this scent and would be able to identify it in the future.

But... he is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment now. If the other party really has bad intentions, he will be completely unable to defend himself.

To ensure absolute safety, the only option now is...

So he appeared in front of Chu Chenmu's door and raised his hand to knock.

"What brings you here?"

"Reply to Master..."

What is it?

I came in such a hurry that I forgot to come up with a reason.

Seeing Luo Suichen remain silent, three faint black lines appeared on Chu Chenmu's forehead.

Is this what they mean by "I don't speak, but you have to know what I'm trying to say"?

But isn't this the kind of playful banter that young girls do when they're dating? In his past life, he saw his roommates enjoying it, but he had never had the chance to experience it since he was a lifelong single.

Now he's experienced it, but he's not happy about it.

Luo Suichen isn't a little girl, and she wouldn't date a guy.

There's no romance in it at all; it's more like... yes, that difficult boss he encountered during his summer job.

That way, you'll get the hang of it.

Luo Suichen is that sycophantic boss who still goes on and on even after get off work hours! I'm just a chosen, miserable working person.

“...That room is too far from Master, Achen doesn’t feel safe.”

Luo Suichen opened his innocent eyes, revealing a shy and bashful expression that hadn't appeared in a long time. He pursed his lips slightly, as if he felt a little embarrassed to say such a thing.

Go and go.

I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I came here to hone my acting skills.

"The city is under martial law, so everything will be fine. Just relax and rest."

"But... I feel inexplicably uneasy tonight, and I beg Master to let me stay for the night."

"I'll just sit on the ground and meditate; it won't disturb Master at all."

Chu Chenmu really wanted to say that he had already disturbed him, but after thinking about it, he realized that the request wasn't too much. He was the male lead, and he might actually have some kind of sixth sense. He didn't want to be pushed back tonight and end up in real danger.

Luo Suichen has the protagonist's halo and won't die; we'll settle the score with him later.

Stay put, stay put, it's only for one night after all.

But... the thought of two men spending the night in the same room in the middle of the night seemed rather strange to Chu Chenmu.

"Then I'll stay for the night."

He paused, then added, "There is a teacher for everything."

After saying that, he returned to bed without any politeness and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Sigh, he has to maintain the "stay-at-home" persona again, it must be tough on him.

Luo Suichen didn't expect that Chu Chenmu would agree so easily, but seeing his resistance, he knew that he had disturbed his master's rest.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

The next day, Tian Yige and Su Chengdian thought it was about time to go find Luo Suichen and went out to buy things together. However, they didn't see a single person in Luo Suichen's room. The two were shocked and hurriedly knocked on their master's door, but they didn't expect that their master's door would also be unopened.

The two exchanged a glance—oh no!

I'm afraid something must have happened last night. We need to report this to the sect immediately.

They turned to leave, but just then, Chu Chenmu's door opened. Overjoyed, they turned around and saw... their junior brother.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time—that's great!

The junior brother wasn't lost.

but……

At the same time, the question popped into his mind: How did Junior Brother get out of Master's room?

'Junior brother, could it be that you secretly went to learn some techniques from Master behind my back?'

Su Chengdian felt slightly annoyed that he wasn't as hardworking as his junior brother.

'Junior Brother is alone in a room with Master in the middle of the night?'

Tian Yige's expression was slightly strange.

Su Chengdian joked, "Junior brother, did you come here last night to learn from Master? Senior sister and I were worried when we found you weren't here!"

"We knocked on Master's door just now but no one answered, which scared us to death."
