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

Her face looks good even from the front.

Now, with his eyes closed and no sharp gaze to obstruct him, Chu Chenmu's face no longer exuded such aloofness. Instead, the natural furrowing of his brows and thick eyelashes added a touch of melancholy to his appearance. Coupled with his thin, pink lips and slender chin, he resembled the male prostitute singing in the Yunyu Tower that Chu Chenmu had glimpsed from afar through a window when he was begging in his previous life. Every smile and frown of his was pitiful.

No, Luo Suichen shook his head. Even more so than a male prostitute, Chu Chenmu just lay there with his eyes closed and didn't say a word, and he felt his heart soften. He wanted to stroke his master's cheek and smooth out the brows that were still furrowed in his sleep.

The person in front of him turned over, and Luo Suichen snapped out of his thoughts to find that he had already stretched out half an arm, with his fingertips just inches away from the person in front of him.

Luo Suichen withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, rolled onto the bed, and turned his back to Chu Chenmu.

He is crazy! ?

Although Chu Chenmu was somewhat handsome, he was also a genuine man just like him.

Could it be that he's so thirsty that he really wants to grope a man here?

Or is it that this body has reached the age of youthful vigor and should start thinking about romantic love?

Luo Suichen tossed and turned, his mind filled with Chu Chenmu's harmless sleeping face from just moments before.

Frustrated, Luo Suichen shook his head and buried it in the blanket, inwardly despising himself.

Luo Suichen, Luo Suichen, you pride yourself on being upright and righteous, and devoted to the Dao, but who would have thought that you are actually a... lecherous thief at heart?

The next day, Chu Chenmu comfortably opened his eyes from under the covers, got up and washed, but saw that Luo Suichen, who had gone to bed earlier than him, looked even more tired than before he went to sleep the night before. Chu Chenmu was puzzled. What was going on? This state did not seem like he had just slept. It was more like he had been secretly working hard outside and practicing swordsmanship all night.

Perhaps this is just how the male protagonist is; ordinary sleep cannot bring him physical and mental well-being, he must cultivate himself.

After mentally complaining, Chu Chenmu went outside for some fresh air.

Having spent the night lost in thought, neither cultivating nor resting, Luo Suichen glared resentfully at Chu Chenmu's departing figure, and angrily flicked his sleeve.

He slept soundly!

……

Wuji Sect was one of the earlier sects to arrive, and there wasn't much to do yet. After waiting for two or three days, Chu Chenmu felt quite bored and decided to wander around Echo Valley. He asked Tian Yige to inquire with the disciples of Echo Valley and, after receiving permission to visit, left the accommodation area designated for Wuji Sect and strolled around at his leisure.

As Chu Chenmu and his companions walked along the road, they admired the scenery, which was completely different from that of the Wuji Sect, and chatted idly.

Tian Yige walked at the back, idly admiring the flowers by the roadside. She glanced at the side path by chance, then suddenly stopped and unconsciously clenched her fist.

"Senior sister, what are you looking at?" Su Chengdian was just talking to Tian Yige when he realized that no one was next to him, so he walked over to Tian Yige curiously.

Tian Yige exhaled, her eyes darting away, and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, I just mistook it for something. Let's go."

"You're not mistaken, you're not mistaken, it's Master Huaisu!" Su Chengdian also looked over there and immediately recognized the two people walking towards them. One of them was Huaisu, whom they had met once before. "It's been too long, Senior Sister probably doesn't remember you very well. This is Huaisu, you're not mistaken."

I can't quite remember... Tian Yige lowered her eyes and glanced at her sword tassel. How could she not remember?

Perhaps it is someone else who does not wish to remember.

Tian Yige looked dejected and quietly took a few steps back, hiding most of her body behind Su Chengdian to block his view.

Huaisu?

Upon hearing Su Chengdian's words, Chu Chenmu stopped and looked over, and sure enough, it was Huaisu.

Huaisu was still wearing the same patterned monk's robe as that day, only this one was newer, and he walked beside an older monk.

Huaisu was talking to the old man with his head down when he heard the voice in front of him. He looked up and saw Su Chengdian waving enthusiastically in his direction.

Is it Benefactor Su?

Yes, Benefactor Su and his companions will definitely be attending the Spiritual Cultivation Alliance. Now that we've encountered Benefactor Su, I wonder if we'll run into each other...

A gust of wind stirred, lifting the hem of Tian Yige's clothes. Huaisu took it in, his fingers, which were lightly twirling the prayer beads, paused, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Unable to avoid it any longer, Huaisu bowed to the old man beside him and said, "Master, the person in front of me is an old acquaintance of mine. Could you please wait for me for a moment?"

The old man sighed, "I will go with you. Since we have met, everything has its cause and effect."

Huaisu followed behind the old monk, stopping a few steps away from the four. Chu Chenmu had a good impression of Huaisu. Since they had met, it must be fate. So Chu Chenmu took a few steps forward and said, "Master Huaisu, we meet again. How have you been?"

Huaisu's gaze swept over the three of them, but avoided Tian Yige's direction. He bowed deeply and spoke in his familiar, clear voice: "Thank you all for your concern. I am well."

"I wonder who this is?"

"This is Huaisu's master."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chenmu cupped his hands in a junior's greeting. When he looked up again, he saw the old monk before him looking at him with an extremely complex gaze, as if he had suddenly found something precious that he had lost long ago. But when he looked closer, that gaze disappeared, and he heard the old monk speak, his voice seemingly carrying the vicissitudes of time: "Amitabha, this humble monk's Dharma name is Daotian Monk."

Dao Tian the monk... Chu Chenmu reviewed the original plot and found that this person was not mentioned. He had unlocked a new character. Xiao Yuan, that unreliable one, was providing less and less reference value in the original plot.

The monk Daotian gazed intently at Chu Chenmu with a deep look in his eyes. "Amitabha. Young benefactor, may I speak with you in private?"

Chu Chenmu nodded in surprise and followed the monk Daotian to a spot a few steps away. The monk Daotian raised his hand and set up a barrier, isolating the inside from the outside. The surroundings immediately became quiet. Chu Chenmu quietly looked at the man in front of him, who was clearly a highly accomplished monk at first glance, and wondered what he wanted to see him about.

"Young benefactor, life is but a fleeting dream, and fate is uncertain. I wonder if you have adapted to your current identity?"

Chu Chenmu's heart skipped a beat. What did that sentence mean? His current identity... Could it be that he knew he wasn't the original Venerable Xuanxiao?

He gave a somewhat stiff smile, then, mimicking a Buddhist gesture, clasped his hands together in a respectful bow: "This junior is foolish and does not understand what Master Tian means."

"Hahahaha, you wanderer of heaven and earth, have you truly seen through the difference between reality and illusion?"
