Shen Xingcong had stayed in the Jingshi for an hour, and he had waited for Senior Sister Yun Xiu with great difficulty to leave before he got a chance to slip away.
It’s not that he didn’t want to work hard. It’s only that since he has become a demon cultivator, he can’t absorb any spiritual qi by usual meditation. It’s just a waste of time. Now, the Daoist Discussion Conference is approaching. Just in case, it would be better to spend more time by Xiao Lin’s side.
Just as he left the room, he saw a person coming down with a sword. His robe swept up in the wind and slowly fell back down.
Seeing that person’s appearance clearly, Shen Xingcong’s eyes lit up and immediately went up to him.
“Xiao Lin!”
Xiao Lin was grabbed by the arm just as he landed on the ground. He looked down, then raised his head and asked: “What’s the matter, senior brother.”
“I’m waiting for you.” Shen Xingcong said, “Just delivering a directory, why is it so long?”
“There was a little delay on the way.” Xiao Lin wondered, “But why is senior brother waiting for me?”
Shen Xingcong: “I want to wait for you, can’t I?”
Xiao Lin looked at him for a few seconds without speaking.
Shen Xingcong was nervous by the look: “Why, is there something on my face?”
Xiao Lin smiled: “I was just thinking about what senior brother was up to again.”
Shen Xingcong: “Which, which is there…I am the most upright person.”
“Entering the inner sect for a year, senior brother has nothing to say to me except for trading. I’m afraid that you’ve gone to see Teacher Lan Jin even more often.”
Xiao Lin’s tone was indifferent, “Now that it is like this, is it really not having an ulterior motive?”
Shen Xingcong couldn’t refute it.
After that night, he really didn’t know how to face Xiao Lin. On the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened, but in his heart, he was somewhat resistant to get in touch with this person.
He had made the most inseparable contract with Xiao Lin. The relationship hadn’t gotten any closer as a result, but had instead gotten further and further apart.
Or perhaps it was just that he was unilaterally afraid.
Shen Xingcong defended: “Aren’t I afraid of disturbing your cultivation.”
Xiao Lin pulled the corner of his mouth lightly and didn’t respond.
“Speaking of which, there will be the Daoist Discussion Conference in a month.” Shen Xingcong asked, “Will you go then?”
Xiao Lin: “Senior Sister Yun Xiu specially entrusted me to observe and learn well.”
Shen Xingcong hummed and hawed: “Then what…”
Upon seeing this, Xiao Lin: “Senior brother does not want me to go?”
Shen Xingcong gave a thumbs up: “Junior brother is really brilliant.”
Xiao Lin looked like he was laughing again. But because he laughed out loud, it always felt a bit of irony.
“So, what kind of reason will senior brother find this time?”
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“I’m eager to hear it.”
.
With Xiao Lin’s mind, there’s no way he couldn’t have guessed.

“…so.” Xiao Lin turned and left, “Then I’m going even more.”
“Eh, wait!”
Shen Xingcong hurriedly followed, “Then how about doing an exchange? If you don’t go to the Daoist Discussion Conference, I will give you one thing.”
Xiao Lin: “What thing?”
Shen Xingcong: “Sweet cake.”
Xiao Lin: “Ha.”
Compared to the previous hypocritical smile, it could almost be said to be a snort this time.
Shen Xingcong felt deep contempt. But he just wanted to try it.
Of course, he knew that these things were unattractive to Xiao Lin. Even if it was a panacea or a precious magic weapon, it wouldn’t necessarily be able to move Xiao Lin’s heart.
The only thing that could constrain the other person was only one thing.
“Blood.”
After hearing this word, Xiao Lin finally stopped walking.
“During the Daoist Discussion Conference, I will give it to you once a day.” Shen Xingcong braced himself to say, “Don’t you go.”
The exchange during this period of time was generally calculated based on the loss of efficacy from the appearance of the magic patterns. It was usually exchanged once a month.
He wanted to slow down Xiao Lin’s restoration of his spiritual roots as much as possible. Although he knew from the bottom of his heart that this was just a useless attempt, it was just an attempt to comfort his heart.
This proposal obviously attracted Xiao Lin’s interest.
“What exactly is in the Daoist Discussion Conference?” He asked, “Why does senior brother not want me to go.”
Shen Xingcong: “Don’t worry about it. Just say you agree or not.”
Xiao Lin was about to reply, but he heard a female voice coming from behind him.
“Agree to what? Shen Xingcong, what are you up to again.”
It was Senior Sister Yun Xiu.
The woman had a beautiful appearance, and her expression wasn’t authoritative but angry: “I only left for a while, and you slipped out of the Jingshi. Now, what are you doing pestering your youngest junior brother?”
Why do you think he is messing around! He was obviously trying to save people.
Shen Xingcong felt wronged from the bottom of his heart.
“Today’s time has not yet finished, so you hurry back.” After Yun Xiu urged Shen Xingcong, she turned towards Xiao Lin again, “It’s been a hard journey. You did not meet anything, right?”
The tone was like a different person, incomparably amiable.
Shen Xingcong: …
You deal with different people in different ways, isn’t it rather obvious.
Xiao Lin shook his head: “Nothing. I just met fellow disciples and chatted for a while. That’s why I was a little delayed.”
Yun Xiu smiled: “This is a good thing. In the past year, you have immersed yourself in cultivating, but you have neglected to befriend the disciples from other peaks. Taking advantage of the Daoist Discussion Conference to make more beneficial friends, which will also be good in the future.”
Xiao Lin: “Thank you for your guidance, senior sister.”
Shen Xingcong interjected: “Which fellow disciples? Do I know them?”
“What does this have to do with you.” Yun Xiu glared at Shen Xingcong, and her tone changed again, “Stop chatting, now go back to the Jingshi immediately!”
Shen Xingcong: “I have been sitting for too long today, and I always feel sore in my waist and legs…”
Yun Xiu simply didn’t listen to his long-winded words and directly grasped his collar to go.
“Wait, wait!”
Shen Xingcong attempted to make a final struggle, grabbing Xiao Lin’s wrist.
“Xiao Lin, you go too.”
Senior Sister Yun Xiu frowned: “He has already cultivated enough time today, and he just came back from the main peak. He needs to strike a proper balance between work and rest…”
“There’s no harm.” Xiao Lin looked at Shen Xingcong, “I will accompany senior brother.”
Yun Xiu was taken aback, then shook her head: “You two, a combination of your temperaments would be good.”
Shen Xingcong didn’t want to “combine” with Xiao Lin.
The demon seed was born cold-hearted and cold-blooded. He didn’t want to experience that kind of empty and dark heart at all.
He looked at the “dear” youngest junior brother in front of him and pulled up a smile: “Let’s go, junior brother.”
.
Until she went back to Wu Chang Peak, Mu Xiaorou was still a bit preoccupied.
Cultivators cultivate an untroubled heart and behave morally, surrounded by spiritual qi all year round. Their appearance is usually much better than that of mortals. But this was the first time she had seen such a good-looking person.
He looked about the same age as her, but his use of magic techniques was very skillful and very powerful.
Thinking about herself again, Mu Xiaorou unconsciously felt a little low.
She was born mediocre, just a girl from a small family. But a year ago, she was admitted to the Xiaoyao Sect, saw so many “immortals”, and opened the door to a new world from then on.
Those “immortals” treated her with much respect, recognizing her as the Sect Leader’s direct disciple and calling her senior. She was terrified.
In order to live up to the expectations, she practiced hard. Although her cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds, she really wasn’t good at using magic techniques. With only her cultivation base, if she really fought, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to compete with a Foundation Building.
In comparison, that youth was clearly not much older than herself, but he was able to use magic techniques to save her in a split second. It’s really incredible.
Thinking about the scene at that time, Mu Xiaorou’s face couldn’t help but redden again.
“Senior Mu, why did you fall again?”
Halfway through, Shen Ke’er saw that the person hadn’t caught up, so she frowned and turned back.
“You have been preoccupied the whole day. What exactly are you thinking about?”
Mu Xiaorou returned to her senses: “Ah, I’m sorry…”
“It’s not like I’m asking you to apologize.”
Shen Ke’er disliked this indecisive look of the girl the most.
“Anyway, when you see Master later, you must not say I lost you.”
“No, it wasn’t you who lost me!” Mu Xiaorou shook her head, “It was me who begged you to take me to the main peak. I rarely go out and was so mesmerized by the new things I saw that I lost you. It’s my fault.”
Shen Ke’er was satisfied: “It’s not anyone’s fault. In any case, you found me, too. It’s better to just treat it as if it never happened.”
Mu Xiaorou nodded.
“Then again, if it weren’t for you running around on your own, I wouldn’t have let people laugh at you for no reason.”
Seemingly remembering something, Shen Ke’er complained.
“You have lived in my Wu Chang Peak for a year and have been taught by my master. Isn’t it only right to participate in the Daoist Discussion Conference on behalf of my peak? Why don’t they allow it!”
Speaking of this matter, Shen Ke’er was angry.
That main peak hall disciple insisted on confirming with Mu Xiaorou personally before accepting the directory, simply a blockhead!
She wanted to pull Mu Xiaorou out directly but realized that the person had disappeared. She hurriedly went out to look for her and wasted a lot of time.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaorou finally understood why Shen Ke’er was furious when she looked for her.
She had wanted to say a few words to that youth, but as a result, she had been directly pulled away and didn’t even ask for his name.
The only thing she knew was that the youth was from “Jing Xin Peak”.
Jing Xin Peak, she remembered it was Elder Jing Xin’s residence. Since he was an inner sect disciple, presumably that person would also come to participate in the Daoist Discussion Conference.
Mu Xiaorou was secretly looking forward to seeing each other again on that day.
.
Shen Xingcong became inseparable from Xiao Lin again, and he didn’t even escape from cultivating in the Jingshi.
Senior Sister Yun Xiu was initially surprised, but then she became relieved: “You are finally thoughtful. Remember, cultivation is for yourself. Going out to experience subduing monsters and eliminating demons in the future is accumulating the ability to survive.”
Shen Xingcong felt guilty in his heart when he saw her earnest and well-meaning advice.
He was just being prepared for any eventualities and didn’t want Xiao Lin to meet Mu Xiaorou.
He was cultivating late today, and Shen Xingcong specially sent Xiao Lin back to the house. If put in modern comparison, it was simply a Twenty-four Filial Exemplar’s boyfriend.
When Xiao Lin went in, Shen Xingcong was about to leave but was called to a stop by the person behind him.
“Senior brother.”
Shen Xingcong stopped and turned around.
Xiao Lin: “Since I have promised senior brother, there is no need to be like this anymore.”
“It’s nothing.” Shen Xingcong said, “I just want to look after you more.”
Xiao Lin: “A year long, and only today?”
Shen Xingcong: “Coincidence, it’s just a coincidence.”
“This reminds me of the past,” Xiao Lin said, “Senior brother also followed me closely. Thinking back, what exactly were you guarding against?”
Shen Xingcong: “…”
“I won’t force senior brother to answer.” Xiao Lin moved his eyes away. The candlelight reflected the clean and bright face, which was slightly gloomy.
“It’s just that it’s hard to avoid some sadness. I already have no reservations about senior brother, but senior brother is wary of me in every way.”
Xiao Lin was born good-looking. The light was soft, making his expression all the more downcast. If others saw this, they would have been unable to bear to step forward and cherish him.
Shen Xingcong ridiculed: “Perhaps I’m not the only one you’ve said that to.”
Xiao Lin paused and raised his eyes. The expression was already as usual.
“Senior brother is also not the only one who is so ‘caring’ to me.”
The candlelight reflected the pitch-black pupils, curving his eyes and smiling.
“Compared to me, senior brother should care more about Teacher Lan Jin. Isn’t that right?”
Sheesh the drama! I don’t know how Xiao Lin feels about Shen Xingcong yet, is he falling or is he just feeling amused?

Is someone jelly?! 👀
Thank You for the new chapter (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡
Xiao Lin trying to seduce SX and have a monopoly on him (his blood) is just too funny to me.
The way I see it, he has no romantic feelings towards SX yet but he’s convinced SX is attracted to him.
So he’s identified Lan Jin as a threat to his monopoly of SX because of all the time he’s been spending with him and not Xiao Lin.
Ohhhhh, this is an interesting take on Xiao Lin’s intentions~
I kind of want SX to meet MX and become like a big brother to her and protect her from Xiao Lin and others who want to take advantage of her.
I think she has a lot of potential so far to be a sweet character.
