Mozun and his Master Shizun

Chapter 18 A Good Thing or a Bad Thing

Under Xu Shumo's insistence, Yan Xiao was allowed to get out of bed after another week of recuperating from his injuries.

During these seven days, with the continuous deliveries from his caring younger brother Mo Jiu, and the daily loving tonics from his master, Yan Xiao only needs to lie in bed mourning the spring and autumn, and live his delicate and corrupt little life.After recuperating in this way, when he got out of bed on the seventh day, the trembling flesh on his waist reminded him:

You are gaining weight, dear~

Yan Xiao hurriedly took out a mirror from his storage space.It doesn't matter if you take this photo, if you look up and down, the obviously rounded chin and chubby cheeks all point out this cruel fact.

"Ah—I'm not a human—"

Yan Xiao flicked the mirror, and towards the outside of the room was a [-]-meter sprint to escape the facts.

Coincidentally, it happened to bump into Xu Shumo's arms.

"Master..."

Yan Xiao pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked at Xu Shumo aggrievedly.

Xu Shumo looked at him, stretched out his hand to touch Yan Xiao's head, and said: "It seems that he is almost raised, even his height has grown a little."

"Yeah." Yan Xiao agreed casually, and after a while he suddenly realized that he jumped in shock and said, "Master, what did you say?"

"It's grown a little bit taller." Xu Shumo looked him up and down again, pondered for a while before saying: "No, it seems that the whole person has changed and grown up."

Yan Xiao was startled.

He quickly reached out to touch his head, and then compared with Xu Shumo.

It seems...it's true...

Originally, the top of my head could barely reach Xu Shumo's belt, but now it has surpassed it.

The voice of the system reluctantly came from the ear.

"Because user Yan Xiao completed the task of 'Disciple's First Trial' and completed the sub-plot, the original exercise restriction was lifted."

"Then when can I grow back?" Yan Xiao immediately asked.

"One year and one year old, let's grow up slowly."

Yan Xiao didn't bother about the system's innocence, he was still foolishly happy.Unexpectedly, Xu Shumo said at this moment: "I came here today to see how you are recovering, but it seems that there should be nothing serious."

Yan Xiao nodded repeatedly.

"Although I'm still a little worried," Xu Shumo said slowly, "it's just that I've been preparing for a breakthrough before, and it's been about a few days. Besides, I still have to think about the suitable cultivation method for you. .”

Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing: "Master, what does it mean that you want to retreat?"

"It's as little as half a month, as much as two or three months."

Yan Xiao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He was just planning to strike while the iron is hot when the relationship between his master and apprentice is just right, and pursue the victory while he is winning to attack his master.

Why is Master going to retreat!

"Then the disciple will not see the master for a long time." Yan Xiao lowered his head, [-]% really disappointed and [-]% deliberately playing up his emotions, "I feel a little... strange."

Xu Shumo nodded with an expression of "I understand", took Yan Xiao's hand and clasped a ring on his thumb.

Yan Xiao looked down, and saw that the translucent and moist suet white jade was repaired with colorful gold, it was the one he had broken in the illusion.

"I have already greeted your uncles, and they will take good care of you during my retreat." Xu Shumo's face is still light, in his opinion, this is just a very ordinary and normal thing , "But if there is really any urgent matter, crush this ring and I will go out."

Xu Shumo is really a man with a heart...Yan Xiao remembered that he had written Xu Shumo in the book review area before, "just a big ignorant and cold stone", and wanted to slap himself.

It's just too considerate and careful!Who can stand this.

Yan Xiao clearly felt that the fire of love that was about to be extinguished just now began to burn blazingly again.

"When will Master start to retreat?"

"Three days later."

At this moment, Xu Shumo didn't realize why Yan Xiao asked this sentence, but three days later, when he saw Yan Xiao who was carrying a big bag and a small bag at the entrance of the cave at the top of Kaiyang Peak and was smiling brilliantly at him. , I felt a little bit regretful.

"What are you... doing?"

"Disciple is still worried," Yan Xiao replied very naturally and fluently, "Master will always be dangerous when he breaks through, and having a disciple by his side can be regarded as someone to take care of him."

"That's not necessary." Although Xu Shumo felt a little strange, he didn't think too much about it. "When I broke through before, I was alone, and there was no danger."

"Even if you know the master's cultivation level is high, but as a disciple, you always care about it." Yan Xiao's eyes were very sincere, and what he said was better than what he sang.

Xu Shumo's eyes moved slightly, and the smile just reached the corner of his lips but was taken back.

Although this change was extremely small, it was immediately caught by Yan Xiao who had been staring at him closely.He hurriedly took a step forward, pulled Xu Shumo's sleeve and shook it in a fawning manner, and said:

"Master, just agree to the disciple."

As soon as he said that, Xu Shumo immediately had nothing to do with him.Yan Xiao saw his hesitation, and hurriedly wrapped up a few more words.

"Okay then." Xu Shumo finally couldn't stand it anymore and nodded.

Yan Xiao was overjoyed, and walked into the cave with all his belongings.

"Tsk tsk tsk, today I found out what it means to be 'shameless and invincible'."

The person who said this was naturally the black-hearted system that was always trying to find a way to mock him.

"I'm in a good mood and don't care about you," Yan Xiao bickered with the system while finding a suitable corner to make bedding, "I call it a good start is half the battle."

"What a good start?" The system sneered at him, "I don't think it's the first step in the Long March."

Yan Xiao immediately switched the system to silent mode.

The world is clean.

He set up camp on his side, and Xu Shumo's side also finished decorating the cave, shaking his clothes, and sat down cross-legged in a fairy-like manner.

"For this breakthrough, I have already set up twelve barriers at the entrance of the cave, so there should be no problem. With the ring I gave you just now, you can enter and exit unimpeded."

Yan Xiao subconsciously clenched the white jade finger and turned it a few times.

"But what else is there to worry about?"

"No, no." Yan Xiao waved his hands again and again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shumo closed his eyes and flicked his sleeves lightly.

The faint blue fire in the cave was also extinguished, and the whole cave was plunged into darkness.

Yan Xiao held his breath almost reflexively.He couldn't explain why, since Xu Shumo had already started to meditate over there, so he wouldn't know his every move, let alone be disturbed by him.

But he just couldn't help looking in Xu Shumo's direction carefully, his movements were tentative and restrained, as if he was a thief, and he gently rubbed past.

He rested his chin and looked in Xu Shumo's direction quietly. After an unknown period of time, his vision finally began to gradually adapt to the darkness, and he could faintly see Xu Shumo's outline.

Then, as if turning the clouds to see the sun bit by bit, the darkness gradually receded, and the appearance of the person in the eyes gradually became clear.

It may be because he is cultivating, Xu Shumo's face is calm and gentle, and the usual sharp edge is completely absent from his brows and eyes.The faintly flowing silver aura around him was reflected on him, with his sideburns and clothes fluttering slightly, making this person's complexion clear and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament.

At this moment, Yan Xiaocai gradually realized that Xu Shumo, the peerless master in the book, the aloof Kaiyang Peak Master, who became his master without saying a word, is actually just a 20-year-old, pure and kind to a little naive people.

Yan Xiao only felt that his heart was touched by something soft, and couldn't help but lower his head and secretly smiled.

As if he had completely let go of his heart, he let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole body twisted and twisted like a child, trying to find a comfortable position to lean against.But no matter how he changed his posture endlessly, his eyes never left Xu Shumo.

Why didn't he realize that Xu Shumo was such a good person when he read "Ode to the Yellow Spring" before?

He has impeccable looks and also comes with a bonus of immortal energy, and his martial strength is extremely high. People don't talk too much, even if their personality is indeed a bit cold, they are absolutely the best of their own.

The more Yan Xiao looked at it, the more he liked it very much. He wished that Xu Shumo could break through now, so that he could go and talk to Master for a while.But I also feel that now the two of them are alone, and the person I like the most is right in front of me, and I can look at it however I want, such an opportunity is really once in a thousand years.

I can't bear it, I can't say it, I really like him.

It turns out that heartbeat is a physical feeling.That person was right there, like a beautiful flower blooming in his heart, no matter how he hid it, he couldn't hide it, making people happy all the time.

It's a pity that there are no lights in here so you can't see his expression clearly, otherwise if his expression of being happy and foolish for a while and frowning for a while falls into the eyes of the system, he will be ridiculed again.

In this cave, Yan Xiao spent most of his time staring at Xu Shumo and thinking wildly. Occasionally, he practiced exercises when he was free, and fell asleep when he was sleepy... From the perspective of the system, this is a life like raising a pig.

I don't know how long he has been in such a daze, and a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

Yan Xiao got up from the ground with a grunt, his calf trembling with nervousness.

The pale silver light around Xu Shumo's body in front of him has become brighter and brighter. With Xu Shumo as the center, the surrounding spiritual power is being rapidly drawn, gathering at Xu Shumo's side, flying around with that person's clothes, gradually forming a huge The cocoon of spiritual power wrapped him inside.

This is about to break through!

Although I have read countless times in fantasy novels, it is another feeling to see a master break through with my own eyes.Standing aside, he could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding space, twisting, squeezing, and powerful realm impacts coming in bursts.Even though Yan Xiao had restrained his aura, he still couldn't avoid being hit.

Xu Shumo's body was completely wet with sweat, his tightly wrinkled brows, pursed lips, and tight body all showed the painful test he was going through at this time.

Yan Xiao looked nervous and twisted his hands together, but he also knew that he couldn't help at all at this time.This made him even more impatient and angry, and he could only stand still and watch without daring to move.

And at this moment, he suddenly felt a small fluctuation of spiritual power.

Although it was extremely slight, as gentle and harmless as the ripples of a willow leaf falling on the water surface, it appeared on Kaiyang Peak at this time, and even hit a layer of enchantment, which could not prevent the alarm bell from ringing in Yan Xiao's heart immediately.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Hurrying to peek at Kaiyang Peak at this moment, who is it and what is it trying to do?

Yan Xiao made up his mind almost immediately.

Must go out and see!

He walked to the exit in a few steps, stopped in the air just as he was about to take a step, and looked back at Xu Shumo behind him.

"Master, disciple, go out and have a look." Yan Xiao's eyes were firm, but there was a light and gentle smile on his face.

"Be right back."
