After a while, Mu Ban held Shen Gurong's hand and wiped the back of his hand with the water from the river.

Shen Gurong allowed Mu Ban to torment him, looking at the water ripples at his feet expressionlessly, looking like a cold and sage king with no ripples in his ancient well.

Mu Ban heard his master say: "My mouth hurts. Is Mu Ban an animal?"

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban paused his hand and turned his head to look at Shen Gurong's lips.

Shen Gurong's lips were a little red and swollen, and a corner was bitten by Mu Ban, making them even redder.

Realizing that Mu Ban was looking at him, Shen Gurong tilted his head and said coldly: "What are you looking at?"

"Hands! Wash your hands quickly!"

Mu Ban smiled and continued to clean the dirt on the back of his hands.

It is obvious that a monk can easily solve something with one move, but Mu Ban holds Shen Gurong's hand and imitates a mortal to clean him up a little bit. Mu Ban has discovered before that even if his master reaches the top of his cultivation level, in private he still Prefer the mortal lifestyle.

Shen Gurong sat on the stone steps by the river, supporting his chin with his free hand, looking at Mu Ban with his head tilted. There was still a blush that had not dissipated at the end of his eyes, mostly hidden by the ice, but it became more and more intense. Looks seductive.

"Mu's banishment." Shen Gurong called him.

Mu Ban was holding his slender fingers and wiping away the water stains between his fingers little by little. When he heard the words, he responded vaguely: "Huh?"

Shen Gurong asked softly: "Does the demon lord thing have anything to do with you?"

Mu Ban's hand tightened suddenly, and he looked up at Shen Gurong in shock.

Judging from his reaction, Shen Gurong probably knew that the fact that the Demon Lord was forced into a desperate situation and revealed his true identity was closely related to Mu Ban. In other words, the person secretly helping Qing Yu was Mu Ban.

He moved his fingers slightly and said calmly: "You hurt me."

Only then did Mu Ban come back to his senses and spread his hands almost in embarrassment.

Shen Gurong withdrew his hand, gently touched the side of Mu Ban's tense face, and said softly: "Tell Master, why did you help Qingyu deal with the demon lord? Were you his opponent at that time? "

Mu Ban's lips moved slightly, but no words came out.

When he agreed to Qingyu to deal with the demon lord, it was for no other reason than for Taozhou Daze's spiritual veins. The longer he stayed in the demon clan, the more he hated the demon lord who single-handedly made the hundred-year agreement.

If it weren't for him, Shen Gurong would never have been trapped in Liren Peak for so many years.

Mu Ban, who was filled with hatred, was deliberately guided by Mingzhi Qingyu, but she still helped him kill the demon lord without hesitation.

In the end, he succeeded. Qingyu successfully forced the demon lord out of Daze, Taozhou, and also discovered the secret that only Jing Shilu knew, that the demon lord was not a phoenix.

But even though Qingyu forced the demon lord out of Taozhou, Li Renfeng still didn't wait for the demon clan's spiritual veins, so Li Genglan escaped.

Mu Ban's face was a little pale, and he whispered: "I just..."

Shen Gurong's voice became softer: "Huh?"

Mu Ban met Shen Gurong's gaze, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "That's what I want to do."

Shen Gurong didn't expect to get this answer and blinked: "What?"

Mu Banqi stepped forward, held Shen Gurong's hand and put it on his heart, Shen Shen said: "I hate that I was born too late. I hate that I was not able to stand by your side and kill all those villains when you were forced by everyone. kill."

He lowered his head slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "I hate...I couldn't protect you early."

Shen Gurong's eyes widened slightly, and he wanted to respond: "You have already protected me."

But before he could say anything, he realized that the person in front of him was Mu Ban, not his former husband. Even if they were reincarnations, they were not the same person at all.

What he said was an insult to the pastor and a blasphemy to his husband.

Shen Gurong stared at Mu Ban for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Is this why you joined forces with Qingyu to plot against the Demon Lord?"

Mu Ban remained silent and acquiesced.

He was a little afraid, fearing that Shen Gurong would think that he was too rich and overestimated his abilities, but he couldn't help but want to tell Shen Gurong how many despicable things he had done and how many calculations he had made over the years.

Mu Ban's fingers were trembling, and he suddenly felt Shen Gurong hugging him gently.

Mu Ban was startled and looked up at him blankly.

Shen Gurong smiled and said: "Well done, Master likes it."

Mu Ban was stunned.

"The Demon Lord is no longer a thing." Shen Gurong sighed, resting his chin on Mu Ban's shoulder, and said lazily, "I'm not interested in his bad things, but he seems to have persecutory delusions. Think I will hurt him."

Mu Ban hugged him back and murmured with some fear: "Master, don't you blame me?"

Shen Gurong laughed and said, "What do I blame you for? You help me plot against my enemies and I still blame you. Isn't this because my elbows are turned outward?"

Mu Ban was stunned for a moment and thought so.

Shen Gurong knew what he was thinking: "Do you think I will think you are a bad boy because of this?"

Mu Ban frowned, not liking the word "child", but the meaning of this sentence was similar to what he had thought over the years. He always wanted to disguise himself to make Shen Gurong think that he was still the docile and well-behaved person he was when he was young. A disciple, not a villain who always plots against others.

He nodded.

Shen Gurong couldn't stop laughing. He leaned close to Mu Ban's ear, gently bit his earlobe, and said in a soft voice: "But Master likes bad boys like you."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban's blood surged all over his body, and he was so provoked by Shen Gurong's words that he almost pressed him against the wall again and made him dirty.

Shen Gurong washed his hands and continued to study how to find Li Genglan's hiding place.

Mu Ban said: "Xiwu should know."

Shen Gurong shook his head: "Since Li Genglan can use the demonic breath in his consciousness to control Xi Wu, he will not let her reveal his hiding place."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his toes and caught sight of a spiritual snake three steps away.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Spirit Snake: "..."

Shen Gurong silently took his steps back.

Mu Ban took a step forward to block in front of him, looked at the wilting spirit snake, and recognized it to be the one beside Xi Wu.

Snake, who had been thrown under the city wall by Mu, suddenly came here for some unknown reason.

The snake obviously regained its consciousness and looked at Shen Gurong with tears in its eyes. The snake was spitting out words and its little head seemed to be trying to express something bit by bit.

Mu Ban had been in the Monster Clan for a long time and could barely understand some of the Monster Clan's words. He stepped forward, lowered his body and faced the snake, listening to its hissing.

Half a day later, Mu Ban turned around and said, "Master, it said it remembered how to find Li Genglan."

Shen Gurong was rolling up his sleeves and looking to the side. When he heard this, he turned around in surprise: "Does it know?"

Mu Ban picked up the little snake and nodded: "Well, it can lead the way for us."

The little snake had Shen Xiwu's spiritual power and consciousness in its body, so it instinctively got close to Shen Gurong, flattering him, and wanted to entangle Shen Gurong.

Shen Gurong raised his hand to express his displeasure. He didn't want to be entangled again until he became weak.

With the little snake guiding them, at least the two of them don't have to wander around Xianzhou like headless flies.

Because of Shen Gurong's arrival, the entire Xianzhou was surrounded by soldiers, and demon cultivators were patrolling everywhere in an attempt to find Shen Gurong.

Shen Gurong swaggered down the long street with Mu Ban. The invisibility in the Mahayana stage would allow everyone to turn a blind eye to them.

The two followed the little snake's guidance and walked through the long streets of Xianzhou. Finally, they went straight through Xianzhou and arrived at a lake outside the back city gate.

Little snake: "Hiss!"

"Wading through the water, you can see a wooden house in the middle of the lake. There it is. Can the Holy Lord kiss me?"

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban expressionlessly threw the little snake into the water.

Little snake: "Hiss!"

"Hey!"

Shen Gurong asked curiously: "What did it just say?"

Mu Ban casually wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said calmly: "It says Li Geng Lan is in the center of the lake."

When Shen Gurong saw the little snake crawling ashore wet with a leaf on its head, he shrank back unnaturally and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Ban was about to follow Shen Gurong there, but Shen Gurong said: "There are probably thirteen plague ghosts gathered in Xianzhou. You should deal with them first."

Mu Ban was stunned for a moment. Looking at Shen Gurong's profile, he realized that he wanted to get away from him and go to see Li Genglan alone. He hesitated for a moment: "Master?"

Shen Gurong smiled at him and said, "Go ahead."

Mu Ban knew that once Shen Gurong decided something, he would not change it easily, so he could only nod slightly: "Yes."

He turned around and left. As soon as he returned to the gate of the back city, he turned around and saw that Shen Gurong, who was standing on the shore of the lake, had disappeared, melting into the misty smoke on the lake like white mist.

Shen Gurong walked on the water as if walking on flat ground, slowly walking across the water with wide sleeves that trailed to the ground, surrounded by vast mist and white mist.

Lin Xiachun transformed into a human body and followed behind him, staring at the duckweed under his feet with his dull eyes, and murmured: "It would be great if I were this duckweed."

Shen Gurong didn't look back and said calmly: "Come."
