TEMBMBIWB Chapter 37

Chapter 37

The agreed-upon day with the Nine Heavens had arrived, and the immortals were waiting to see if the surging Xiu Luo Demon Soul within the Little Hibiscus Immortal had stabilized.

If not, a round of condemnation would be unavoidable.

The Heavenly Lord and the various sect leaders personally went forward to check the Xiu Luo Demon Soul within the Little Hibiscus Immortal.

They couldn’t help but show surprise, it had actually been suppressed and had entered a dormant state.

They had actually solved this kind of problem.

The White Deer Immortal looked at the group of immortals before him, seeing their expressions, he knew they had nothing to say.

The Heavenly Lord chuckled, “I heard that the Divine Lord’s old ailment has been cured, and now the Little Immortal’s Xiu Luo Demon Soul has also been suppressed. Fangcun Mountain is truly experiencing a double blessing.”

Now everyone’s gaze shifted to the White Deer Immortal’s eyes. Sure enough, the eyes that were once shrouded in a faint mist had become clear and bright, even more stern, with less gentleness.

“I heard that the White Deer Immortal was able to recover from his old ailment thanks to Immortal Hua Zhi.”

“That’s right, the pain of replacing one’s eyes is not something an ordinary person can endure. They aren’t even married yet, and their love is already stronger than gold…”

The Heavenly Lord laughed heartily, only saying, “Since this is the case, we must quickly set a specific date for the wedding.”

Yue Shanglan, who had been standing by, finally couldn’t help but speak, “What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean their love is stronger than gold? Hua Zhi took a life-saving item to the South Sea to save his mother, so he had no choice but to give his eyes to the White Deer Immortal. At most, it’s a transaction where everyone gets what they need.”

“If you want to talk about love being stronger than gold, it’s the love between Immortal Hua Zhi and his mother in the South Sea, right?!”

The immortals who had been joining in the commotion earlier all had their faces turn pale and then white, and in the end, they couldn’t say a word.

The Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s expression also became somewhat unpleasant.

Tan Zhui didn’t have the mind to argue about these things at the moment. In his eyes, no matter how this old ailment was cured, it wasn’t something to be proud of.

He couldn’t help but look at the young man beside him. The young man’s expression was hidden beneath his long hair, seeming a little lonely.

He noticed the scars on the young man’s body, especially the near-broken arm, which hadn’t fully healed.

It looked so pitiful.

Elder Zhou You, who was not far away, seized the opportunity to change the subject, “The Little Immortal’s body is already fine. It just so happens that the disciples participating in the academy are going to subdue their own spirit beasts, so it can be considered a training opportunity.”

The Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s expression eased, and he nodded, “Yes, this is a training session for the younger generation. I hope there won’t be any more mishaps.”

Immortal Pu Liu said, “We’ve conducted a thorough investigation this time, so there definitely won’t be any problems. Moreover, this time, we’re borrowing the demon realm’s territory. Even if the demon realm had twelve times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to let any mistakes occur during this training.”

The Heavenly Lord finally smiled, “Good, good, let the disciples return to their respective sects to rest for a while. By the middle of next month, they can go to the demon realm for training.”

The loneliness on Sui Chunsheng’s face dissipated a little. It had been a long time since he had returned to Fangcun Mountain.

…

Fangcun Mountain.

Following his master back to the mountain gate, Sui Chunsheng finally couldn’t hide his joy, but he found that his master seemed to be intentionally distancing himself from him.

He always avoided any physical contact, not knowing what he was afraid of.

The young man couldn’t help but worry. Had his master noticed something, and thus begun to detest him?

But he thought his master had always known his feelings.

Was it from this moment that he finally began to detest him?

Sui Chunsheng’s heart sank, and he quickly caught up.

Tan Zhui hurried back to the Waterside Residence, casually making an excuse that he was physically exhausted, but in reality, he was afraid of being with his beloved disciple.

Although he had already taken the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill, he was still somewhat afraid. What if?

He could not bear that.

If he was careless, his Hibiscus would be doomed.

His mind couldn’t help but flash back to the wound on the young man’s left arm.

Tan Zhui saw the young man catching up, and was just about to speak when Yue Shanglan cut him off.

“Little Chunsheng, you came just in time. I brought a lot of tonics for your master’s eyes, you should take some too,” Yue Shanglan said.

Tan Zhui raised an eyebrow slightly, “Are there any abnormalities with Ah Sheng’s eyes?”

Yue Shanglan nearly bit his tongue, and quickly recovered, “Ah, it’s because Little Chunsheng hurt his eyes the last time his demon soul acted up. Although he’s already recovered, it’s still good to take care of them.”

Tan Zhui was stunned for a moment, and his heart couldn’t help but struggle even more.

His eyes were healed, but his Hibiscus hurt his eyes?

He once again thought of the words of the monk from the lower realm.

Sui Chunsheng saw his master’s face turn increasingly pale, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said anxiously, “Master, what’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”

At this touch, the White Deer Immortal instantly came back to his senses, and subconsciously shook off the young man’s hand.

The sudden movement startled all three of them.

Because the White Deer Immortal’s face seemed to flash with some panic just now, and to anyone who saw it, it looked like he was avoiding a venomous snake.

Sui Chunsheng’s eyes turned red, and he furrowed his brows in confusion.

Yue Shanglan noticed that something was wrong between the two of them, and quickly pulled Sui Chunsheng away.

“Little Chunsheng, your master is tired, you should go back and rest too, and come back tomorrow.”

He pulled him away while winking at him.

Sui Chunsheng was still replaying his master’s expression in his mind, completely unable to pay attention to him.

Sure enough, his master already detested him.

It turned out that being detested by his master was worse than dying.

…

Yue Shanglan came to Fangcun Mountain more and more frequently, probably because he felt guilty, so he often brought good things to reward them.

This time, he even brought two demon pills, saying they were for Little Hibiscus to increase his spiritual power.

Sui Chunsheng fiddled with the two demon pills. They seemed to be of the divine fire attribute, and since he was a divine wood spirit root, he was afraid he couldn’t consume them.

Then, he met Wugen’s blank gaze.

Sui Chunsheng blinked, “Brother, do you want to eat them?”

Wugen immediately nodded, as if his gaze wasn’t so blank anymore.

Seeing that he liked them, Sui Chunsheng handed the two demon pills to him.

“Brother, take them.”

Wugen immediately chattered, looking very happy, and fiddled with the two demon pills.

Rarely, he heard Wugen laugh.

Sui Chunsheng couldn’t help but feel a little melancholy, “Brother, will you hate me?”

Wugen said in his wooden voice, “I hate you every day, you brat.”

Sui Chunsheng chuckled, “Not that kind of hate, I mean, really detest me.”

Wugen saw that he was somewhat serious, so he solemnly shook his head, “I don’t hate you, you brat.”

Sui Chunsheng sighed softly, “It seems like master detests me.”

Wugen tilted his head and shook his head again, “Divine Lord loves you, you brat.”

Sui Chunsheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, “Don’t lie to me.”

Wugen: “I don’t lie, you brat.”

“Divine Lord loves you.”

Sui Chunsheng laughed, “Mm, master loves me.”

The Little Hibiscus Immortal patted the dust off his butt and stood up, “Brother, I’m going to find master, don’t eat it all at once, this demon pill is too nourishing.”

Wugen nodded and chattered to him, saying goodbye.

Sui Chunsheng went to the Waterside Residence, but didn’t see his master’s figure. He followed along to the back mountain, and finally saw a moon-lit figure.

His master was actually practicing swordsmanship.

It was a very gentle sword, but in the hands of the White Deer Immortal, it exuded killing intent.

The White Deer Immortal’s senses were very keen, and he immediately noticed that someone was watching. He quickly put away his sword and looked in the young man’s direction.

After seeing who it was, Tan Zhui’s expression softened a little.

“Ah Sheng, you’ve come.”

Sui Chunsheng subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull at his master’s sleeve, but then he remembered his master’s terrified expression that day, and gritted his teeth to hold himself back.

Sui Chunsheng: “Master, why are you suddenly practicing swordsmanship? This sword is one I’ve never seen before.”

Tan Zhui’s expression was normal, “In the past, I used to cultivate swordsmanship, and now I suddenly want to pick it up again.”

Sui Chunsheng didn’t think much about it, only said, “Master, could disciple spar with master? Since I grew up, master hasn’t sparred with me in swordsmanship.”

Tan Zhui met the young man’s gaze, “Ah Sheng’s arm injury hasn’t healed yet, let’s do it another day.”

Sui Chunsheng really couldn’t hold back, grabbed the White Deer Immortal’s sleeve, and his voice softened, “Master, please keep me company.”

Tan Zhui had no choice but to compromise, “Alright, then let’s have a spar.”

The two drew their swords.

In the process, Tan Zhui was a little struggling. Although he had recently cultivated 30% of his cultivation, his beloved disciple was also progressing very quickly.

The reason he hadn’t agreed immediately was mainly that he was likely to expose himself.

Fortunately, the young man’s old injury had not healed.

Sui Chunsheng’s senses were also very keen, possibly inheriting from the White Deer Immortal. He quickly noticed that Tan Zhui was somewhat tired. Although the other party was trying hard to regulate his breathing, he could still vaguely feel the bursts of unbalanced aura.

What was going on? Could it be that master’s old ailment had relapsed?

No, master had clearly recovered.

Just as he was puzzled, a loud shout came from behind him.

Both of them had their attention drawn away. It was Yue Shanglan, who had rushed up and was still shouting, “It’s bad, it’s bad!”

Tan Zhui was the first to notice the large fire in the distance. It looked like it was about to set the Immortal Mountain ablaze.

Sui Chunsheng subconsciously lost focus, and Tan Zhui’s hand also trembled.

As a result, the Tansue Sword directly slashed across Tan Zhui’s wrist.

Drawing blood.

The Little Hibiscus Immortal’s face turned pale with fright. He had actually hurt his master!

Sui Chunsheng immediately retracted his sword in surprise, “Master!”

The Tansue Sword, being a divine weapon, was temperamental. Unlike the Fu Shou Sword, the Tansue Sword carried frost marks. Once it sliced through flesh, it would seep in with frost, making it quite domineering.

At this moment, the Tansue frost mark had already landed on the White Deer Immortal’s wrist.

The young man quickly used his spiritual power to stop it, regretting, “Master, it’s all my fault! I had to pester master to spar, I’m really sorry…”

Tan Zhui’s face was a little unwell, but not because of the injury, but because he had gone all out just now, and in the end, he did not lose focus, but was simply no match for his disciple.

This feeling made him somewhat disappointed.

It wasn’t until the young man called out that he came back to his senses.

Tan Zhui pulled back his wrist, “It’s nothing, just a scratch.”

Yue Shanglan quickly rushed over, “You two stop being lovey-dovey here! Wugen is on fire!”

As soon as these words came out, both master and disciple changed their expressions and quickly ran towards the source of the fire.
