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

"It was Sui Chen's oversight. Master set up a barrier in the room last night to block out sound, so he didn't hear Senior Brother knocking just now."

'It also blocked out sound...'

Tian Yige felt even stranger. She had a creepy feeling, both puzzled and eager to know what would happen next.

At this moment, Chu Chenmu also came out. After a few words, he understood the huge misunderstanding and explained, "It was your junior brother who felt uneasy being alone, so I let him stay for the night."

'Let him stay one night...'

Tian Yige: Hiss—

But after glancing at his master and then at his junior brother, he shook his head to clear the strange thoughts from his mind.

Nothing happened that day, and Luo Suichen did not smell that fragrance again while walking around the city. He casually inquired around but no one knew that there were disciples of the Wuji Sect in the city recently.

If that person wasn't from the Wuji Sect, and the fragrance had another source, or if the Wuji Sect disciple from last night also didn't reveal their identity like them, then there's only one option left: he was targeting one of the four of them, or more likely, Chu Chenmu. After all, the remaining three, especially themselves, weren't worth the enemy being so careful about.

Unfortunately, he had never descended the mountain to travel in either of his two lifetimes, and was not even very familiar with the inner workings of the Wuji Sect. His limited experience was a fatal flaw. He must make up for this weakness in this life, otherwise he would still be at a disadvantage if he encountered the same situation as yesterday.

However, there's no point in thinking about it now. If someone is really targeting us, they're only making their move when we're on a mission, so they probably won't reveal their true intentions so quickly.

Should we tell Master about this?

After careful consideration, Luo Suichen decided not to reveal it to anyone yet. After all, he had only smelled a familiar scent once, one he had encountered in his previous life, and it was unlikely that anyone would believe him if he simply told them. Moreover, he was still worried about whether Chu Chenmu would harm him.

The events of his past life were buried too deep in his heart.

Chu Chenmu was completely unaware of Luo Suichen's various calculations and struggles. He adhered to the principle of whether he could avoid doing something or let someone else do it if he had to. He spent the entire day in the inn, and since seeing his three disciples off early in the morning, he had been lazily half-paralyzed on the bed.

His entire being exudes the aura of idleness and laziness.

She would occasionally ponder in her heart the purpose of Luo Suichen's visit to her last night.

He didn't believe a single word of what he said about feeling insecure.

Rather than saying that Luo Suichen felt insecure, it would be more accurate to say that she felt insecure when she was with Luo Suichen.

However, after thinking for a long time without any clue, Chu Chenmu sat up in bed in distress, took out a storybook from his storage ring with fierce movements, and started reading.

"Damn it, I need to find some inspiration in books."

As the ancients said, books are the crystallization of wisdom, the ladder of human progress, and the source of Chu Chenmu's inspiration.

[Which ancient person said that?] After being silent for several days, Xiao Yuan suddenly popped up and enjoyed a wonderful performance by her host.

【Mongol.】

[I'm not feeling well, I'm logging off now.]

……

At night.

"That wicked disciple won't come again today, will he?"

knock knock.

Again?

Chu Chenmu's face turned ashen. He really can't take being nagged!

He angrily opened the door, only to find Su Chengdian standing there.

What is this kid doing here?

Don't think that just because you admire him you can do whatever you want. Anyone who disturbs his sleep is a bad person.

"Come in and talk."

The same procedure: turn around, enter the door, and set up a sound barrier to block out noise after hearing the door close.

"Chengdian, what brings you here to see your master?"

“Master, you gave Junior Brother some extra lessons last night. You must have taught him a lot. I also want to learn. You've gone to so much trouble, so please teach me as well.”

Su Chengdian: (灬°w°灬)

Chu Chenmu: ? ? ?

When this child first entered the mountain gate, he looked mature beyond his years and like a little adult. How come he's become more and more simple-minded as he grows up?

Chu Chenmu said helplessly, "I didn't teach you anything, junior brother. Go and rest."

Su Chengdian naturally didn't believe it.

If they weren't giving their junior brother special treatment, why were the two of them secretly staying in the same room last night, and even setting up soundproof barriers?

Master must feel that he is not as good as his junior brother, which is why he doesn't want to give him special tutoring.

Could it be because he failed to prove himself in two consecutive major competitions?

(?﹏?)

Chu Chenmu looked at the boy's big, watery eyes beside him and sighed helplessly. In the end, he could only take out a book of the original owner's talisman manual from his storage ring and give it to Su Chengdian. The contents of this manual were a bit profound. Chu Chenmu originally didn't want to give it to Su Chengdian so soon, but the child suddenly had a brain fart tonight. Oh well, he had to give it to him sooner or later, so he might as well give it to him now.

but……

He really didn't give Luo Suichen any special treatment!

the next day.

Tian Yige came out of her room early, took a deep look at the closed door of her master's room, and returned to her own room, but kept an eye on this side.

Tian Yige didn't get much rest last night; every time she closed her eyes, she saw Luo Suichen coming out of her master's room.

She didn't dare to meditate, fearing she might accidentally go into a state of demonic possession. Unable to sleep, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and then simply pulled out a book and read it all night.

She was holding a book in her hand, but she didn't turn a single page for a long time, clearly still thinking about her master.

She was determined to prove today that Luo Suichen's overnight stay at her master's place was a coincidence.

After a long while, there was a knock on Tian Yige's door. She was slightly surprised and opened the door to see her junior brother's face.

Tian Yige breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She knew it! Her master and junior brother were always so kind and respectful, how could they possibly act like that? She deserved to die for daring to make such wild guesses about her master.

Tian Yige flashed a smile much brighter than usual, seemingly a little guilty for projecting some negative energy onto the boy before her, and hurriedly tried to make amends:

"Junior brother, come in and sit down. Would you like some water?" She was a woman, so it might be inconvenient to say it like that.

"Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Is something the matter?" Hmm, that's too abrupt. Let me rephrase it.

"Um...the weather's alright today, go check if your second senior brother's up yet." Okay, I'll go find your second senior brother first.

"Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother didn't..." Luo Suichen came because of this. He originally went to find Su Chengdian, but no one answered in the room. Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him, and then he saw Tian Yige suddenly widen her eyes and stare intently behind her.

Tian Yige: (｀?w?′) → ∑(O_O；)

He looked back and saw that his master's door had opened, but it was his second senior brother who came out.

Luo Suichen: [?_??] → ∑(O_O；)
