Worried about Shen Gurong's preference for Mu Ban and Lin Shuhe's one-sided remarks, Xi Guxing decided to take a look at the situation first before deciding how far to unsheath the sword.

Soon, the figures of Shen Gurong and Mu Ban appeared on the mountain steps.

Xi Guxing glanced at it, an unknown fire suddenly surged in his heart, and the short-view sword was directly pulled out of its sheath.

——Not far away, Mu Ban was lying on Shen Gurong's back, being carried up the mountain steps by his master.

Mu Ban's face was pale and he looked extremely weak.

Normally, Xi Guxing would never think about anything else, but maybe it was because Lin Shuhe talked too much nonsense with him that this scene was so dazzling to him.

The little junior brother who was protected by the entire sect actually...

Xi Guxing was already dissatisfied with the banishment of Mu by half of Yuan Dan. When he saw this scene, he was furious. He rushed forward with his sword and said angrily: "Traitor!"

Shen Gurong saw Xi Guxing coming to greet him warmly, and said calmly: "Senior brother, why do you come to pick me up every time? Could it be... hmm!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xi Guxing stabbed him in the back with a sword.

Shen Gurong was startled. She didn't expect him to draw his sword without even saying hello. He took half a step back and raised his hand to knock Xi Guxing's sword aside.

Xi Guxing said in disbelief: "You actually stopped me?!"

Shen Gurong didn't understand why he lost such a temper, and said helplessly: "You have to explain why you suddenly took action. Is this a new way to welcome senior brother?"

Xi Guxing: "..."

Mu Ban was originally pale and drowsy, but he woke up directly from such a jolt. He opened his confused eyes and said vaguely: "Master..."

He fought with Muxiang all the way and directly exhausted all the spiritual power in Yuan Dan. Muxiang also temporarily turned into a palm-sized puppet due to the dissipation of ghost energy, and was carried in Shen Gurong's arms.

Shen Gurong was there to watch the show with his hands folded, but in the end he became the one cleaning up the mess.

He carried one on his back, one deep and one shallow, all the way from Fuxian City to Liren Peak. Only after he had climbed the thousand steps of the mountain did he realize...

"Oh yes, I can control the wind."

Mu Ban lay on his back exhausted: "..."

At this time, he finally gathered some strength, got off Shen Gurong's back, barely stood still, and saluted Xi Gu with a pale face: "Headmaster."

Seeing that he seemed to be about to fall, Shen Gurong stepped forward to hold him up.

Mu Ban's legs were weak, but he couldn't stop falling despite being supported by Shen Gurong. Shen Gurong coughed dryly and thought to himself: "He just couldn't stand, so I helped him. I'm not a coward."

Mu Ban: "..."

After Shen Gurong finished reciting silently, he held Mu Ban's elbow and pulled him into his arms, letting Mu Ban lean half of his body against him and lean on him with all his strength to stand still.

Xi Guxing got angry: "Don't touch him!"

Shen Gurong half hugged Mu Ban and looked at Xi Guxing with disapproval in his eyes: "If I don't touch him, he will fall down."

Xi Guxing: "..."

Xi Guxing was so angry that his head was buzzing.

Shen Gurong looked at him strangely and said, "You grew up watching Mu Ban. You know his temperament better than I do. Do you really believe what Sixth Senior Brother said?"

Xi Guxing was choked.

Shen Gurong knew at a glance that Lin Shuhe must be adding to the jealousy with him. He shook his head helplessly: "What dirty things are you thinking about?"

Xi Guxing exploded: "Why don't you ask your apprentice what he is thinking..."

Before he finished blowing up, Mu Ban fell into Shen Gurong's arms without saying a word.

Dizzy.

Xi Guxing: "..."

Shen Gurong hurriedly hugged him and said, "Look at you, look at you. He was already weak and was knocked unconscious by you."

Xi Guxing: "I...I!"

Shen Gurong didn't wait for him to finish "I", picked up Mu Ban and quickly returned to Fanjiangju in the wind.

Xi Guxing stood alone at the World Spirit Monument. A gust of cold wind blew up, slightly blowing the tassel on his sword.

A red thread floated from the chalcedony around his waist, and Lin Shuhe's voice came from it: "How?"

Xi Guxing clenched his sword and said coldly: "You are indeed right. Shen Shiyi really cannot get too close to Mu Ban, otherwise he will fall into the hands of his apprentice sooner or later."

Lin Shuhe snorted lazily, unable to comment.

Xi Guxing was silent for a long time with deep eyes, then suddenly said: "There is one more thing."

Lin Shuhe: "Huh?"

"Why didn't you tell me..." Xi Guxing slowly loosened his grip on the sword and said in a daze, "He has fox ears."

Lin Shuhe: "..."

Lin Shuhe said weirdly: "Don't you hate that kind of inhuman and evil look the most?"

Xi Guxing remained silent.

Pan Jiang is in the middle.

Shen Gurong has been gone for a few days, but his residence is still spotless. It must be that someone cleans it every day.

He placed Mu Ban on the couch in the side room, touched his forehead covered with cold sweat, and frowned slightly.

Mu Ban, who was pretending to be dizzy, woke up at the right time, looked at Shen Gurong fragile and helpless, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry to bother you, Master..."

Seeing that he was awake, Shen Gurong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You have a good rest, and then use the Yuan Dan to adjust your spiritual pulse after an hour."

Mu Ban said: "Yes."

Shen Gurong warned him a few words, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, Mu Ban's expression changed with a look of weakness on his face, and he got up from the couch neatly, without any trace of the weakness in his body.

Mu Ban casually wrapped himself in the azure robe beside him and opened the window, as if waiting for something.

Soon, Jiuxi transformed into a human form and flew from not far away. He squatted lightly on the window lattice and said with a smile: "You are so far away from the human peak. I almost got lost."

Mu Ban asked: "How is the ossuary?"

Jiuxi tilted his head: "The barrier is so strong that even I can't get in. I think I can still hold on for several years."

Mu Ban frowned: "Are you sure?"

Jiuxi nodded and said very aggrievedly: "You asked me to see it. I saw it and came back to sue you, but you didn't believe me."

Mu Ban couldn't resist such a resentful tone, so he could only say: "Thank you very much."

Jiuxi was now very happy and went out to play.

Fan Jiang lived in the front yard, Shen Gurong walked back, and Xi Guxing followed behind.

"eleven."

Shen Gurong said helplessly: "Senior brother, if it is about the relegation of Mu, I advise you to..."

Xi Guxing interrupted him directly, stepped forward with murderous intent, and said: "Come here, stick your head over."

Shen Gurong didn't know why: "What?"

Xi Guxing gave an impatient "tsk" sound, quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Shen Gurong, raised his hand and plucked Shen Gurong's fox ears.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong's face was expressionless: "Brother Headmaster, what are you doing?"

Xi Guxing pinched his ears curiously and said, "What kind of stupidity have you committed again?"

Shen Gurong opened his hand, knowing that he was watching her show again, and said angrily: "It's none of your business."

Xi Guxing was not angry after being opened, and touched it twice again, as if he was stroking a spiritual pet.

Finally, under Shen Gurong's despairing expression, he finally let go of his clutches, nodded seriously, and said, "Not bad, reward."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Xi Guxing really rewarded him with a spiritual stone and walked away.

Shen Gurong: "..."

So angry that I kicked my feet.

In the past few days since Shen Gurong left, Wen Liubing had received the order to kill the demons. After Su Xiyan successfully completed the barrier of the bone burial mound, he returned to Youzhou again.

Xi Wu has moved to a new residence in Baishang Mountain and started to learn pharmacology - or poison technique - from Lou Bugui.

The departed soul of Fengyutan has not dissipated after all these years, so Chaojiuxiao has no choice but to continue to make waves in Lianhua Lake.

Probably because he heard that Shen Gurong was back, he turned over in the Lianhua Lake and splashed huge water, which fell like rain into Fanjiang's courtyard, crackling and beating the peach blossom tree that had just been planted a few days ago. Staggering this way and that.

Shen Gurong didn't get angry with the dragon, so he just enjoyed the rain.

When Chao Jiuxiao saw that he was so provocative, he didn't respond at all. He was so angry that he swung his tail, and the water droplets fell thicker and faster.

Within half a day, all the black bamboo and peach trees in the yard were harmed by the sharp water droplets.
