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

Chu Chenmu added, "If you are seriously injured, you can stay here for the time being. We will come back after we have finished searching for the Illusionary Spirit Grass, and then we will go back with you."

"Well, we already know the location of the Illusion Grass. It shouldn't be long before we arrive. If you're not in a hurry, it's fine to wait for us here."

"If I were to trouble you all to make the special trip back to find me, wouldn't I feel even more guilty?"

"If it's convenient, may I accompany you on your mission? Perhaps I can offer some small assistance."

Su Chengdian was pleased, as this would give him another person to talk to. "That's good, Master. It wouldn't be safe for Huaisu to be here alone. It's better for her to come with you."

"Alright."

"Then I'll have to trouble Venerable Chu and the other benefactors in the next few days." Huaisu smiled suddenly, revealing two shallow dimples, and bowed.

[Warning! Host has deviated from the main storyline! Host has deviated from the main storyline!]

Just then, a piercing sound suddenly rang in Chu Chenmu's mind, accompanied by excruciating pain, which made his face turn pale. The others only saw Chu Chenmu, who was speaking normally, suddenly lose all color in his face and collapse to the ground in a panic.

The four people looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"Chengdian, come with me and search the surrounding area to see if we can find anything suspicious. Junior brother, please take good care of Master here."

"Well, let's go!"

The two cautiously expanded their search area, but found nothing. It made sense; even if an enemy or spirit beast had attacked their master, what could two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators possibly do?

Luo Suichen looked at Chu Chenmu, who had suddenly collapsed, and recalled the strange smell he had smelled that night.

Could it have been done by the same group of people...?

【Xiaoyuan, what happened?】

[Reporting to the host: Your recent actions have deviated too far from the main storyline, which may affect future developments. You have been warned.]

[I checked. The next highlighted spot is where I pushed Luo Suichen into the icy pool. The plot hasn't gotten to that point yet, has it?]

【I don't know either...】 Xiaoyuan didn't know what happened either, it was also a new system.

Chu Chenmu was on the verge of tears. What was the rush? All they did was pressure him! [I'm definitely going to push him off! Can't you guys make the plot points a little more reasonable...?]

"Dog System".

As the excruciating pain gradually subsided, Chu Chenmu finally had a chance to speak and comfort the few people pacing around him, "I'm fine, it's just an old injury."

Upon hearing Chu Chenmu speak and seeing that he was feeling better, Luo Suichen stepped forward to support his arm and helped him up.

Old illness?

Luo Suichen didn't remember whether his beloved master in his previous life had this chronic ailment. But he didn't suspect anything.

After all, he never had the chance to spend time with Chu Chenmu in his previous life, so he probably just didn't run into him.

"Master, when did this old ailment of yours begin? It's so serious, we never knew it." Upon hearing his master's voice, Su Chengdian rushed over and grabbed his other arm, his voice rising with anxiety.

Tian Yige and Luo Suichen also looked at Chu Chenmu.

Even Huaisu cast a curious yet worried glance at him.

Chu Chenmu was sweating profusely.

Looking at the concerned eyes, he paused, speechless for a moment. "Don't ask me anything! You care about me, but I'm going to lie to you... Besides, I'm not your master at all, not the real Chu Chenmu."

"Once, during a period of seclusion, I was too hasty and accidentally suffered a qi deviation. Fortunately, I was able to recover in time, but it left me with a chronic headache."

He smiled again and gestured to everyone that everything was alright, "It's nothing, I'm fine now."

"Let's get going."
