Master, your personality is broken

Chapter 038 The Bathroom Standoff

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Shizun's strength in his hand weakened, so he only held his wrist lightly.

Chen Xi didn't take back his hand, and let his master lead him.

There was a distance of half a step between the two of them. At this distance, he could see half of the master's long hair when he raised his eyes, which was casually tied up with a white jade hairpin.

Qingyu Xianzun has always been unrestrained and unrestrained. In his impression, he only saw his master wearing a crown once - that is, at the sword bestowing meeting, the master wore the crown and solemnly said that he would give him the other sword, and he also solemnly Take it with both hands.

The remaining untwisted hair covered the slender and fair neck, but Chen Xi could imagine the perfect arc formed with the Adam's apple when he looked sideways—beautiful and alluring, so that he was bewildered when he was drunk and even bit it.

Mo's hair swayed slightly as he walked, and Chen Xi couldn't help admiring that Master's figure is always so tall and straight, even when walking, his back will remain absolutely straight, and with his broad shoulders, it seems that one person can bear the burden of peace in all walks of life .

"This is the room of the two immortal elders."

The shopkeeper's words made Chen Xi wake up suddenly, why did he look at the master's back and think so much...

Fortunately, no one noticed, Chen Xi responded to the shopkeeper, took a big step into the room, and took the opportunity to pull his hand out.

It shouldn't be...not obvious.

After the shopkeeper saluted and said goodbye, Chen Xi scratched his head, did not dare to look at the other person in the room, pretended to be casual and said: "Master, I... I will take a shower first, and then catch up on sleep."

Although he has learned the art of cleansing himself, he can get rid of dirt with just a few formulas, but he still retains the habit of bathing, and he always feels uneasy if he doesn't wash it once.

Lin Jingran: "Okay."

"Then, Master, please do what you want."

Chen Xi put down his luggage, found a change of clothes, and walked to the bathroom.

What the shopkeeper said is true, the three rooms are all on the top floor, the rooms are spacious, and all the furniture is available, one can tell at a glance that they are the upper rooms in the inn.

Not only did he have a big bed, but he also put Concubine Zhang on it. Chen Xi thought in his heart that if it was really not possible, he would sleep on the couch as well.

This Fulu Tower is indeed the largest inn in the imperial city. The washroom is half the size of the inn room he stayed in before, and it is equipped with a large wooden barrel, so he can take a shower directly.

Chen Xi didn't want to disturb Xiao Er, and besides, it would take too much time and effort to wait for someone to bring up the hot water, so it would be better for him to cast the spell directly, but it would consume some spiritual energy.

Chen Xi was about to cast a spell when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"I'll do it," Lin Jingran said, "You've spent too much spiritual energy today."

Chen Xi didn't refuse, and didn't turn around to look at it. He just took a few steps to the side and got out of the way.

Indeed, his own spiritual power was almost exhausted in the illusion, thanks to that little golden lock.

Master should have found out when he was treating his wounds, and also expected that he would not bother others to fetch water, so he did this move.

Now that he had been guessed, Chen Xi simply accepted the help, he was more willing to bother Master than to trouble others.

However, Lin Jingran didn't cast the spell immediately, instead, he walked up to the apprentice, took the clothes from Chen's hand washing, put them on the wooden shelf beside him, and walked closer, staring at the person in front of him without saying a word.

The two were in the bathroom, only one step away, and the atmosphere was inexplicable for a moment.

Chen Xi was so flustered by the stare, he didn't dare to look up.Hearing that there was no movement for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Master, what's wrong?"

The normally clear voice has become a little deeper: "Since the illusion came out, you have been hiding from me."

Is it that obvious?

It's a bit...

Chen Xi thought for a few seconds, and argued, "I was afraid of disturbing Master Qingxiu, so I thought about going to squeeze with Situ Yao and the others..."

"Do you believe this statement yourself? Why aren't you afraid of disturbing me when you have nowhere to look?" Lin Jingran said seriously, "raise your head and look at me."

It was the first time I heard Master speak in such a stern tone, it seemed that Master would not give up without giving a reasonable explanation.

Chen Xi looked troubled and refused to raise his head for a long time, mainly because he didn't understand why Master was so serious.

Just because of his hesitation and prevarication when assigning a house?But Master is not a person who cares about everything.

If you don't know the reason behind it, how can you talk about prescribing the right medicine.Chen Xi almost wanted to cry, but the real situation must not be revealed.

But after thinking about it, I had lied before anyway, and then said yes, it doesn't matter, and said: "Actually... it's actually because I saw Master and Mistress in the illusion... ah no, that man was on the bed together... then It feels weird..."

Lin Jingran was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Because of seeing that scene, do you hate me?"

Master's voice was suddenly very soft and cautious, like a feather scratching Chen Xi's heart.

How can it be disgusting?

It turned out that Master had misunderstood him, thinking that he didn't want to share a room because he hated it.

Chen Xi suddenly realized, and raised his head to look directly into the other party's eyes: "No, it's too late to love and respect Master, how could he hate it. It's the first time I've broken such a powerful illusion, and I'm still affected by it, so I can just adjust it. Master I'm sorry, I caused you to misunderstand."

Lin Jingran stared fixedly at the pupil's eyes, which were clear and bright, without any trace of hypocrisy.

In the end, he raised the corners of his lips in relief: "It was my lack of thoughtfulness that caused you to break through alone, and it will never be like this in the future."

"Actually, I'm not alone, and there's the little golden lock that Master gave me to help." Chen Xi looked at the wooden barrel beside him, unexpectedly, during the conversation, Master had cast a spell to make the hot water ready, "Master, I... "

"You take a bath first, and call me if you need something."

Chen Xi nodded, closed the door immediately after he left, and let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately he was fooled.

No wonder some people are so afraid of Master, the posture of asking people just now is indeed quite scary.

But he really didn't expect Master to care about this kind of thing, and mistakenly thought that he was out of disgust, probably because he was afraid that the illusion would affect too deeply and destroy the master-student friendship.

Next, Chen Xi took a warm bath comfortably, and made a trick to dry his long hair.

He also wanted to do it all, but it's a pity that today's spiritual power consumption is too high, and it's not enough.

Chen Xi was too lazy to worry about it, thinking to wait for it to dry naturally, so he walked out with his hair loose.

In the room, Lin Jingran was resting on the couch, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath.

In order to avoid disturbing the master, Chen Xi walked lightly to the table and sat down, ready to wait for his hair to dry before going to bed to catch up on sleep.

"Why don't you go to bed and rest?" Lin Jingran heard the movement, opened his eyes and looked at his apprentice, and saw that Chen Xi's long hair was still wet, "Wet hair can easily cause headaches. Are you not strong enough? Why didn't you tell me?"

Before the words fell, he cast a spell to dry the apprentice's hair.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Xi stroked his long hair and said with a smile, "Seeing that Master is adjusting his breath, I didn't bother you, so I'll go catch up on sleep."

Lin Jingran nodded and watched her apprentice go to bed before closing her eyes again.

This time Chen Xi slept very peacefully, and did not dream about ponds and lotus.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.There was only one oil lamp lit in the house, and it was a bit dim.

Chen Xi fell into a dazed sleep, sat up and stretched, saw that Master was still meditating, and asked, "Master, what time is it?"

There is still sleepiness in the tone, soft and erratic.

"It's Xu time."

Chen Xi was surprised: "Huh? It's so late?"

"Are you hungry? There should be food in the inn."

"I'm not hungry, I don't have an appetite now," Chen Xi yawned, remembering something, "By the way, the grievance bag that I collected today is still with Situ Yao, I'll go get it back, I can't let that The guy took the credit."

After speaking, he turned over and got out of bed, and went to open the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Ling Aoyue stood at the door with red and swollen eyes, it seemed that she had been crying for a long time.

Ling Aoyue's personality has always been carefree, and she seldom cries.

Chen Xi has never seen this battle before, and quickly asked: "Ling Aoyue, what's the matter with you? Could it be that stinky monster Situ Yao bullied you? I'll go to him to settle the score!"

Ling Aoyue shook her head, sniffed her nose, choked up and said: "...I came here to pay back the bag of grievances. I read Yun'er's life, it was too bitter, so uncomfortable... woo woo woo."

As he spoke, he was about to cry again.

It turned out to be the case.

After waking up, Chen Xi had already shaken off the emotional influence of the illusion.

But anyway, he is someone who has been here, so he wants to invite people to the house to enlighten him.

Unexpectedly, Miss Ling refused to enter, sobbing: "Wuuuuuuuuuu Qingyu Immortal is here, I'm afraid...it's too embarrassing..."

Chen Xi had no choice but to know how to be ashamed...

Just about to say, "Why don't you go to your room", but was interrupted.

"Come in and have a cup of hot tea before leaving." Qingyu Immortal Venerable got off the couch at some point, stood in front of the wooden table and looked at them.

Chen Xi asked Ling Aoyue softly: "How is it?"

"The Azure Jade Immortal has spoken..." Ling Aoyue wiped away her tears, went to sit down, and put the grievance bag in her hand on the table.

Chen Xi sat down and poured tea for someone: "How can you cry like this? It's too unlike you."

"I was curious about the story of the resentful spirit, so I went to Situ Yao to bring the grudge relief bag. This Yun'er's life experience is too bitter. She was sold to a small house since she was a child, and she was tortured. When I met Shen Li, I didn't expect it to happen." It's just passing by, Shen Li has his own story..."

Finally, someone was willing to listen. When she was venting her emotions, Ling Aoyue didn't care whether Qingyu Xianzun was present, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Yun'er is so beautiful, but beauty is the icing on the cake for rich people. It is a curse for the poor."

Hearing this, Chen Xi sighed lightly: "That's true."

"It's really unfair," Ling Aoyue said indignantly, drinking a big sip of tea with her head raised as if drinking wine, "Why are some people born rich and noble, while others are not even as good as splashed mud? If he The family of officials and officials will definitely not end up with a dead end."

Chen Xi added tea to her, looked at the rising steam, and said, "I thought the same way when I was in the illusion, and I was even filled with grief and indignation. After sleeping, I seemed to have figured it out, so I didn't Tangled."

Hearing what the apprentice said, Lin Jingran's eyes that kept looking at Chen Xi became brighter.

Chen Xi continued: "God created man, and maybe he didn't expect that man could survive until now, and even after the disappearance of gods and self-generated demons, they gradually ruled the three worlds. People who don't cultivate immortals and demons live only a few dozen years. Some people have a smooth life without any worries, while others will experience pain and hold grievances. Our mission is to eliminate their grievances. We can see their miserable lives, but time has passed and everything has long been irreversible..."

"We can feel sorry for them, grieve for them, but we must not indulge in it, because we are just spectators after all, and there are more resentful spirits waiting for us to subdue. It seems a bit cold-blooded to escape, but... This is true."

Ling Aoyue held the teacup in both hands, staring blankly at the table.

Chen Xi didn't know how much she listened to, so he didn't speak for the time being, and let her think for herself.

Sensing Master's gaze, Chen Xi looked over, his eyes met, and he blinked with a smile, as if he was asking: Master, what did I say just now?

There was also a slight smile on the end of Lin Jingran's eyes, and he raised his right hand slightly and gave a thumbs up.

Seeing Master's sneaky movements, Chen Xi thought it was funny, so he accidentally laughed out loud.Seeing that there were still tears on Ling Aoyue's face, she felt something was wrong, so she quickly put on a serious expression.

"I once saw a sentence in a storybook," Ling Aoyue cast her eyes on Chen Xi, and said, "It said that people's emotions are not the same, at first I didn't believe it, but now I believe it."

Chen Xi: "No..."

"Chen Xi! You think it's funny to see me cry, don't you? I'm still thinking about the big truths you said," Ling Aoyue didn't give him a chance to argue, stood up and bowed to Lin Jingran, "Immortal Qingyu, Disciple takes my leave first."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave without looking back.

"No, listen to my explanation..." Chen Xi hurried to catch up, but unfortunately, the door was closed in front of his eyes with a bang.

Looking at the crumbling door, Chen Xi felt that it would be better to wait until the popularity subsides before apologizing, otherwise his arms and legs would have to be broken in the past.

Chen Xi turned around and pursed his lips: "Master, I blame you for making me laugh."

But there was no trace of blame in his tone.

Seeing the apprentice shirking responsibility, Lin Jingran raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't answer, and there seemed to be a little smile in the corner of her eyes.

Pushing the fault out, Chen Xi's guilt was relieved a lot, pointing to the grievance bag on the table, he said: "It's time for Yingshang, Master, don't you want to read Yun'er's story?"

Lin Jingran shook her head: "Sad things happen all the time in the world, and I have seen many of them."

"That's right, Master has received countless resentful spirits over the years, right?" Chen Xi asked, "Master, do you believe in the destiny? In fact, what Ling Aoyue said just now is true. Some people are born to be the favored children of heaven, while others To be entangled with injuries for a lifetime."

Chen Xi changed Ling Aoyue's description, and Lin Jingran heard the meaning, "Heaven's Proud Son" refers to him, and "wounded by injuries" refers to Chen Xi himself.

Lin Jingran said: "I believe that it is better to say that he is born with a mission than to say that he is the proud son of heaven."

"With a mission? Like a master? It's rare to meet an opponent in the four realms, so naturally you have to take on the important task of maintaining the health of all realms." Chen Xi said.

Lin Jingran didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

Chen Xi asked: "Then...does Master want to be independent, or do he want to marry a wife and have children like ordinary people?"

"I have no choice," Lin Jingran lowered her eyes, "When Master brought me to Lingfeng Gate, I was still a baby and had no chance to choose."

Chen Xi asked, "What if?"

Lin Jingran raised her eyes: "There is no chance, maybe my fate was set from the beginning."

Chen Xi didn't say anything more.

That's right, a proud son of heaven like Shizun will not be obliterated by everyone at all, but will only be looked up to by everyone.

It's just that looking up is both respect and imprisonment.

The author has something to say:

Ling Aoyue: Hmph!From now on, I will never complain to Chen Xi again, I'm crying, it's okay for them to flirt with each other, they're still laughing!
