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

Then, feeling perfectly justified, he ordered Luo Suichen, "Turn up your flame a bit. It's too dim, and we're moving too slowly."

Luo Suichen obediently increased his spiritual energy output.

Chu Chenmu led the way, keeping an eye out for potential traps, but the journey was uneventful until he came to a fork in the road.

He didn't trust his own luck, and turned to ask Luo Suichen, "Left or right?"

Luo Suichen withdrew the hand that was staring at Chu Chenmu's gripping sleeve, thought for a moment and said, "If there are only two forks in the road, we can explore both sides."

Chu Chenmu released his grip on Luo Suichen's sleeve. "You've come to your senses?"

"Yes, I am fine now. It's just that my spiritual energy is still a bit sluggish. Apart from affecting my sword control, there shouldn't be any other problems."

Then I saw Chu Chenmu's teasing gaze, as if asking: Don't you have anything else to say?

Then he spoke again: "Thank you for saving me, Master. After I was drugged by that Willow Wood Goddess outside, I didn't remember anything. I only just woke up and saw Master pulling me along. It must have been Master who saved me!"

Chu Chenmu: Yo yo yo!

Just make it up.

He was also poisoned by that Willow Wood Goddess, so how could he still clearly remember that brat calling him an old scoundrel!

It was clearly Luo Suichen who woke up, remembered the foolish things he had done, and now wanted to deny it.

"Oh? You don't remember any of it?"

“I don’t remember anything.” Luo Suichen shook his head firmly.

God knows how devastated he was when he came to his senses and recalled how he had spoken to Chu Chenmu.

However, if he doesn't remember, he'll pretend he doesn't know anything about it. What shameless old man? He doesn't remember calling me that.

"Just now you knelt down and insisted on thanking your master for saving your life, saying you would do anything for me, like a cow or a horse, and obey my orders without complaint."

"If I don't agree, you're going to kill yourself right here."

Chu Chenmu curled his lip and started talking nonsense. Didn't you say you didn't remember? Then whatever I say goes.

Luo Suichen: How shameless!

He was right when he called him "shameless old man."

She even knelt down and begged him to let her be his slave, which was utterly absurd.

Luo Suichen froze for a moment, stunned by Chu Chenmu's shameless words, and then said in a pitiful and dejected tone, "Achen has forgotten everything. But even without Master's life-saving grace just now, Achen is still willing to serve Master like a slave."

Chu Chenmu: Alright, alright, that's enough. He then reached out and patted Luo Suichen's head.

Luo Suichen looked at Chu Chenmu accusingly, and Chu Chenmu calmly said, "You were begging me to touch you when you were not in your right mind."

Luo Suichen: ...Even if he were not in his right mind, he wouldn't do something like this, thank you.

"Which way do you think we should go first?"

"The right side, please."

Chu Chenmu and Luo Suichen then took the right fork in the road. After walking for a while, Chu Chenmu heard a sound.

He hurried a few steps and, after passing through a narrow passage, saw a large open space with cages made of willow branches hanging from the ceiling, holding some young girls inside. These must be the girls Zhang Hu had mentioned.

"found it!"

Chu Chenmu drew his Lingtian Sword, leaped into the air, and slashed at the willow branches, intending to cut them all. However, the willow branches were incredibly resilient, and even with seventy percent of his strength, he couldn't sever them all. The cage began to sway precariously, and the unconscious girls inside were about to tumble down.

They were all ordinary people; falling from that height would surely injure them. Chu Chenmu knew something was wrong and quickly moved closer, throwing the Lingtian Sword over and controlling the hilt to slowly lower them down, while simultaneously shouting to Luo Suichen, "Suichen, catch them!"
