Mu banished him to meditate on the roof of the spiritual boat for one night, and the sapphire turned into a ball of little foxes, which were left to dry their fur all night long.

At dawn, Mu Ban opened his eyes suddenly. Before Qing Yu could react, he had disappeared on top of the spiritual boat.

In the only room in the Lingfang, Mu Ban appeared next to the couch in an instant. With quick hands and eyes, he reached out and held Shen Gurong, who had fallen asleep on the bed, in his arms, barely letting him fall to the ground.

Even after falling off the bed, Shen Gurong was still too upset to wake up, and because he smelled the familiar smell around him, he mumbled vaguely in his sleep: "Mu's banishment..."

Mu Ban's hand around his waist paused, and the tip of his heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, making his whole heart tingle.

He gently put Shen Gurong back on the couch, Mu Ban stroked his chest, and stayed there in a daze for a long time before leaving in a state of confusion.

On the top of the spiritual boat, Qingyu had woken up and was lying there, her nine silk-like tails fluttering slightly in the wind.

Seeing Mu Ban's distracted look, he tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Ban frowned impatiently: "I sleep with you and stay out of my business."

Qingyu curled her lips and had no choice but to continue drying her hair.

However, it is strange that Mu relegated this person. Not long after he told Qingyu to leave his affairs alone, he broke away from his meditation with some irritability for some reason. He frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly speaking: "Fox. "

The fox wagged its tail and said lazily: "Huh?"

Mu Ban hesitated for a long time, then said awkwardly: "Why did you react so loudly last night?"

When Qingyu heard this, he thought of the sudden kiss from "Blocking the Thunder Tribulation" that shocked his young heart. He groaned, hugged his head, and said wilfully: "I finally forgot, and you reminded me of it again." Woke up."

Mu Ban frowned and said incomprehensibly: "It's just a kiss on the back of the hand, isn't it?"

But Qingyu was even more incomprehensible than him. He jumped up, covering his red face with his paws, and whispered: "But they are all men, and they are still masters and disciples! This is a great treason, bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, and violates the ethics of yin and yang intercourse. It’s something.”

Mu Ban began to wonder if he was a little biased about this kind of thing, but he thought it was completely fine.

Qingyu asked: "Put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you were really the disciple in the book, would you have that kind of thoughts towards your master?"

Qingyu asked him to change his position, and Mu Ban really closed his eyes and thought about it.

"In the sea of ​​evening mist and flowers in the courtyard of Fanjiang Residence, Shen Gurong was dressed in white, with black hair flowing to the floor. With a smile on his lips, he gently stretched out his slender hand towards him.

Mu Ban gently held his hand as if holding a fragile treasure.

Looking from his sight, Shen Gurong's light-colored eyes were slightly drooped, and his eyelashes were blinking and closing like a dead butterfly.

The master called him softly: "I ban."

Mu Ban stood up suddenly, took a half step forward as if he was bewitched, opened his hands and embraced Shen Gurong in his arms..."

Qingyu: "Muban, Muban?"

Mu Ban opened his eyes suddenly, and he couldn't recover for a while. His eyes were blank: "What, what?"

Qingyu looked at him curiously: "Why is your face red?"

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban wiped his face haphazardly, trying to keep his face as straight as possible: "It's okay, Xianyun City will be here soon."

After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was trembling slightly, so he had to get up and return to the boat as if running away.

Qingyu didn't know why, so she could only continue to lie paralyzed.

Mu Ban rushed into the painting boat without hesitation, and when he walked towards Shen Gurong's room, he accidentally stepped on the hand of Yu Xinghe who was sleeping on the floor, causing Yu Xinghe to step on him and let out an "ouch".

Mu Ban turned a deaf ear and quickly opened the door and rushed in.

The painting boat was small, with the top occupied by sapphire and the outside occupied by Yu Xinghe. Mu Ban originally planned to take advantage of Shen Gurong's unconsciousness to go to the corner of his room to reflect for a while, but as soon as he entered, he was caught off guard. Di Sao saw Shen Gurong who was changing clothes.

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban almost died.

He took a few steps back and said in shock: "Master?"

Shen Gurong had just woken up. He had just taken off his clothes and fumbled with the clothes that Mu Ban had put on the desk last night to put on his body. However, he was blind and confused. He couldn't put it on correctly no matter how hard he put it on. He forced himself to wake up.

Hearing Mu's voice, he put down his messy clothes and frowned, "Next time, pick some clothes that are easy to put on and take off."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban took a deep breath, suppressed his strange impulse, tried his best to stay calm, nodded and said, "Yes."

Shen Gurong looked disheveled, sitting there waiting for Mu Ban to dress him. Mu Ban sighed silently, stepped forward and said "offense", and dressed Shen Gurong.

Shen Gurong tilted his head, thinking that Mu Ban had yawned silently without noticing. He wiped the water droplets from the end of his eyes with his fingertips, then turned his head and asked, "What are you doing on the boat? Who are you talking to?" "

Mu Ban paused while tying his clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "They are the accompanying guards of the demon clan."

Shen Gurong yawned again and said vaguely: "I think so. Only the top of the boat can hide people."

Mu Ban said "hmm" and tightened his belt. Just as he was about to get the robe on the side, he heard Shen Gurong say: "Xianyun City should be arriving soon."

"yes."

Shen Gurong said: "Then wear black clothes today."

Mu Ban was startled. He had never seen Shen Gurong wearing such a dark color.

Shen Gurong rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, "It's stained with blood, so it's not easy to see."

Mu Ban: "..."

What kind of monster do you...do you think the Sixth Master is?

An hour later, Lingfang entered Lingfang Pavilion from the moat of Xianyun City.

Xianyun City is catching up with the rainy season, the sky is gloomy and there is a cold rain falling.

After Mu banished the spirit boat back, he took Shen Gurong and the others onto the streets of Xianyun City.

It rains most of the year in Xianyun City, and the city is not as densely packed as Fuxian City. Due to the constant rain, every household has deep eaves, whitewashed walls and black tiles, and countless small rivers spread throughout the city. , bluestone paths and arch bridges intersect, like an ink painting.

When the rain falls, the misty rain is thick, and you feel like you are in a fairyland.

Shen Gurong was wearing a thick cloak, and Mu Ban held an umbrella for him. This was the first time Yu Xinghe came back to Xianyun City, and he looked around curiously.

Mu Ban called him: "Yu Xinghe, don't run around, be careful of getting lost."

Yu Xinghe squatted by a gurgling river, washed his hands, and ran over with Xue Manzhuang. He did not hold an umbrella, and his hair and shirt were covered with misty water drops.

"Senior Brother," Yu Xinghe asked, "What exactly are we doing in Xianyun City?"

Mu Ban looked at him speechlessly: "You followed me without knowing?"

"How about we go out to play with Master?" Yu Xinghe said, "And we can also go home by the way."

Mu Ban glanced at him and said lightly, "Master's ice ribbon was destroyed by thunder. Let's go find the Sixth Uncle to make a new one."

Yu Xinghe said "Oh". He didn't know if he saw something, but he knew what to ask and what not to ask. Even if he had doubts, he still smiled and said, "Okay."

It was still a little cold in Xianyun City. Shen Gurong wrapped himself in a large cloak and said, "Aren't you here yet?"

Mu Ban said: "Just walk two more streets and you'll be there."

Shen Gurong had no expression on his face, thinking: Oh, I am still two streets away from death.

Mu Ban didn't know what he was thinking, but after spending such a long time together, he probably could see some of Shen Gurong's true emotions from her cold and unobtrusive face.

He looked carefully and came to a conclusion.

——His master is afraid.

Afraid of Lin Shuhe.

Mu Ban was silent for a moment and then said softly: "Master, the sixth uncle is weak and sick. Sometimes he can't even pick up a knife. You don't need to be too... worried."

He originally wanted to say "no need to be afraid", but he changed his mind because he was concerned about Shen Weimeng's sensitive and fragile self-esteem.

Shen Gurong is not worried, he is just scared and guilty.

He tried to stay calm and said calmly: "Do you know how many spiritual stones a Nine Breath Sword costs?"

Mu Ban didn't know this. He was good at budgeting carefully and lived a very miserable life. He tried to say what he thought was a sky-high price: "A thousand spiritual stones?"

Shen Gurong shook his head and made a sign of three.

Mu Ban said in surprise: "Three thousand?!"

Shen Gurong: "You add one more person."

Mu Ban: "..."

Thirty thousand.

Mu Ban finally understood why his master was so afraid. He was afraid that the creditor would have a guilty conscience in collecting debts.

He consoled him: "Master and Sixth Uncle are from the same family, so they will definitely not be separated just because of these 30,000 spirit stones."

Shen Gurong was expressionless: "Do you remember how many senior brothers you have?"

Mu relegated: "Seven."

Shen Gurong said nothing.

After Mu Ban finished speaking, he fell silent. The rain pattered on the bamboo umbrella, as if the butcher's knife of death had lightly brushed against it and would fall in an instant.
