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

Luo Suichen, who had been watching over Chu Chenmu closely, was certain that his master had just cried.

If someone had told him that Chu Chenmu had cried in his previous life or when he had just been reborn, he would have scoffed and wanted to rush up to that person and slap him a few times to mock him for spreading rumors and lying through his teeth.

That was the dignified Elder Po Jun—heartless and emotionless, who could make him shed a single tear?

Then she secretly hoped that what this girl said was true, and that Chu Chenmu would also encounter a situation where he was helpless and could only shed tears.

But now he only felt that the tear was very stinging. Just a moment ago, she was fine, chatting and laughing with him. How could she suddenly shed tears?

Startled awake by the sound, Chu Chenmu wiped his eyes to cover up his embarrassment, turned his head, and looked at Luo Suichen with his eyes, which were already red but he was unaware of it. He grinned and said, "I just got some smoke from chopping vegetables in my eyes."

Luo Suichen really wanted to put a mirror in front of Chu Chenmu and ask him what kind of dish could make a person's eyes look like a rabbit's.

Furthermore, does he even realize how terrible his acting is? His laughter was less convincing than his crying. How can he possibly lie and say, "Ah, it turns out my eyes were stung by the smoke. I thought Master was crying because he was sad"?

What exactly went wrong just now?

Just now, I only asked myself, "Why are your cooking skills so good?" So what's wrong with that question?

Chu Chenmu, who did you think of?

Is he heartbroken that he has worked so hard to improve his cooking skills, but the food he has cooked cannot be served to the person he wants to share it with? Or is he heartbroken that the person who praised his cooking skills today is not the person he longs for?

For whom did he shed tears?

Luo Suichen suddenly felt a surge of displeasure. What a cowardly immortal lord who was only bullying at home. He only dared to vent his anger on him, saying he would throw him into the Xuanbing Pool without hesitation and he did so for five days. But he didn't dare to tie up the person who made him shed tears and stab him with five, six, seven, or eight bloody holes to vent his anger.

"Sui Chen?" Seeing that Luo Sui Chen hadn't responded for a long time, his eyes were unfocused and his attention seemed to have wandered off somewhere, Chu Chen Mu called out to him softly.

"Hmph, I'm not feeling well today. I'll come back to ask Master for guidance another day." Coming back to his senses, Luo Suichen, who had just made himself angry based on his imagination, slumped his shoulders, flicked his sleeves, said goodbye awkwardly, and ran away quickly.

Chu Chenmu: ?

We just made up, what's wrong with this kid now!

After Luo Suichen suddenly left that day for some unknown reason, he never appeared at Chu Chenmu's door every morning as before. Chu Chenmu woke up early as usual the next day, but did not hear the familiar knocking sound. He opened the door and was stunned for a moment.

Having Luo Suichen following me around every day, I'm a little unaccustomed to the sudden quietness of the world.

Chu Chenmu brewed a pot of tea, opened the window for ventilation, folded his quilt, and sat down in a chair.

After thinking about it, I realized I was missing a step, which felt really awkward. I repeated the dust-removing incantation twice more before I felt everything was normal.

Shaking his head, Chu Chenmu sighed inwardly that he was a masochist. Not having to get up early anymore should be a super happy thing.

He resumed his days of occasionally meditating and occasionally slacking off, and before he knew it, it was March.

On this day, Chu Chenmu received a message from Cheng Zi'an saying that Tian Yige's sword had been forged and that he would send a disciple to deliver it to Lingtian Peak that day.

Chu Chenmu opened the barrier of Muchao Courtyard and waited for a while. Sure enough, a disciple brought up the sword. After Chu Chenmu accepted it, he went to the residence of three disciples halfway up the mountain to look for Tian Yige, but he did not see her. However, Su Chengdian, who was practicing swordsmanship nearby, heard the sound and came over.

"Is Master here to see Senior Sister? Senior Sister went to the training ground early this morning. She's been going there every day for the past few days."

"Did Yige say when she would be back?"

Su Chengdian shook his head: "Senior sister goes there every day these days. Sometimes she comes back, and sometimes she just stays there."

"Your Uncle Cheng forged this sword for her, so you can keep it for her for now." Chu Chenmu handed over the sword, but he understood that even though Tian Yige said she no longer cared about not having her own sword, she was still upset inside.

The Spiritual Alliance will be held next year. In this year, it is almost impossible to find a sword that resonates with oneself. However, having a weapon that is in harmony with one's heart is basically a prerequisite for competing for a ranking in the Spiritual Alliance competition.

This ranking list, which covers almost all the young geniuses on the Canglan Continent, is the best proof of their strength.

Tian Yige is proud and stubborn at heart, and never admits defeat. Otherwise, she wouldn't have disliked Luo Suichen in the original book because of his timid and inferior personality, and she wouldn't have fought against spirit beasts alone in the Xuanling Secret Realm just to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Although Cheng Zi'an's weapon-forging skills were already superb, he was still unable to imbue weapons with spirit. A sword without spirit, no matter how extraordinary its origin, was inherently inferior.

That's why Tian Yige has been practicing diligently day and night these past few days.

Chu Chenmu saw it all, but couldn't say anything.

In the original book, Tian Yige successfully found her natal sword in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, so why has it changed now?

"When Yige comes back, have her come to see me."

Still not entirely at ease, Chu Chenmu asked Su Chengdian to convey his decision to observe Tian Yige in person and offer her some guidance before leaving.

The next day, Tian Yige arrived outside Mu Chao's courtyard. Chu Chenmu came out and saw that the sword at her waist had been replaced with a new one.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm," Chu Chenmu gestured with his eyes towards the direction of the sword and said to Tian Yige, "I went to deliver it to you yesterday, but you weren't here. I haven't seen you for a while, so I called you up to chat. I know you've been cultivating diligently, so consider today a day to relax."

Tian Yige paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I know, Master, you're afraid I'm still stuck in a rut. Don't worry, the Spiritual Cultivation Alliance is about to begin, and whether or not I have my natal sword, I will continue to cultivate in this way."

“Even with an ordinary sword, I am still one of the best among my peers, and I will certainly not tarnish the reputation of the Wuji Sect!” Tian Yige raised a confident smile, her dimples appearing and disappearing.

Chu Chenmu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, he heard, "Master, I want to go down the mountain and travel alone." His heart jumped again.

"You've only just entered the Golden Core stage. It's not too late to go down the mountain after you've consolidated your cultivation." The old father, Chu Chenmu, was worried about his disciple going out alone, so he shook his head and tried to stall for time.

Tian Yige patted her chest and said, "I've almost finished consolidating my condition over this period of time. I've been meaning to tell you about it for the past few days, and since you came to see me today, I thought I'd tell you everything at once."

Seeing that Chu Chenmu still looked somewhat conflicted, Tian Yige added, "Those at the Foundation Establishment stage on other peaks can go down the mountain alone. I'm already at the Golden Core stage, so there won't be any problem. Even if you don't trust me, you have to trust your guidance."
