Shen Xingcong completely failed to understand why Xiao Lin mentioned Lan Jin at this time.
He cares more about Lan Jin… isn’t this what it should be!
Lan Jin taught him, saved him, and protected him. From the first time they met, there was no arrogance at all. He has a warm and gentle tongue, and he talks and smiles a lot. He also didn’t feel annoyed when he (SXC) often went to find him, and he also prepared snacks for him. He was also good-looking.
Then, isn’t it a very natural thing for him to love to get closer to Lan Jin?
Therefore, he was bold and confident: “I just care about what is going on to Teacher.”
Xiao Lin: “…”
“It’s late, senior brother, please go back.”
He closed the door with a smile.
“Hey, wait!”
Shen Xingcong hadn’t even finished speaking when he saw the two doors close in front of him with a bang. Bumping his nose into dejection.
He rubbed his nose.
Suddenly, he stopped shouting and said something unclear, what he was doing.
It couldn’t be jealousy because he cares more about Lan Jin?
Thinking of this reason, Shen Xingcong couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
Impossible, impossible. Although he would occasionally make fun of this, it was purely to disgust the other person.
Xiao Lin was a natural demon seed, desolate and cold-blooded. How could he possibly be jealous because of this?
Probably because he thought that he had something to make use of and wasn’t depressed in his heart.
Shen Xingcong shook his head and walked towards his residence.
.
Xiao Lin didn’t turn around immediately after closing the door, but stood in front of the door for a long time.
Until he sensed that the person outside the door had left, only then did he drop his arm.
When he stopped Shen Xingcong just now, his original intention was to inquire about the other person’s purpose. If it was only that he didn’t want him to participate in the Daoist Discussion Conference, why would he have to follow him every inch of the way from now on?
Perhaps it was the same as before, and the Daoist Discussion Conference was just a cover. In fact, there’s something he didn’t want him to find, so he has been watching him attentively.
But with this person, the usual methods really didn’t work. Instead, he was beaten with a sentence.
【 “I just care about what is going on to Teacher.” 】
Thinking back to this sentence again, Xiao Lin couldn’t help frowning.
It was difficult for him to describe the feelings in his heart at this time. Originally, there shouldn’t have been the slightest fluctuation, but ever since that day when the other person placed a spell on him without permission, somewhere has become different.
The fact that his life was tied to another person was unpleasant.
After being bound, that person avoided everything and always only looked for him when needed. This incident was also unpleasant.
And the most unpleasant thing was probably that there was still a “Teacher Lan Jin” above him.
Xiao Lin didn’t think that this kind of sentiment was out of “jealousy”, but he just felt inconvenient.
Now the two of them have made a life and death contract, to live and die together. But for Shen Xingcong, there was still another more “important” existence.
This also means that if that person is in danger, Shen Xingcong will probably ignore the danger and implicate him in it as well.
Xiao Lin caressed his chest with his hand.
That day, the long sword had penetrated through here, and blood had flowed like a river. Soon afterward, he passed out. When he came to his senses again, he found himself lying on the couch of his residence, cleaning up his body, leaving only the scar on his chest.
Now that a year has passed, that mark is almost invisible.

The life and death contract requires blood from the tip of the heart, which is not difficult to congeal, but difficult to remove. At least no publicly circulated method guarantees success.

Regardless of what the other person thought, he still followed the same steps as before.
In the blink of an eye, it was finally the day before the Daoist Discussion Conference, Shen Xingcong went to find Xiao Lin and said he wanted to compete with him.
Xiao Lin: “Compete?”
Shen Xingcong: “Both of us suffered a lot of injuries, so we don’t need to go to the Daoist Discussion Conference.”
Senior Sister Yun Xiu wasn’t as easy to talk to as Lan Jin, and if he found a random reason, he would only be escorted there by her.
Pretending to be sick didn’t quite work either. They were all cultivators. Common colds and fevers were minor illnesses that couldn’t be easily gotten unless one’s life was in danger. They will be seen through at a glance.
The result would still be being escorted to the Daoist Discussion Conference.
Therefore, Shen Xingcong simply carried it through, whatever the consequences were, and came to something real.
“Don’t worry, I’ll restrain my power. It won’t hurt you too much.”
Xiao Lin sighed: “Senior brother never said anything about this before.”
Shen Xingcong: “I didn’t expect it then.”
Xiao Lin: “Since I need to bleed, once a day is not enough.”
Shen Xingcong saw him demand too much, indignantly said: “Then add once at most, it was out of the question to have more.”
Xiao Lin: “If Master and senior sister find out we are fighting secretly, I’m afraid we will be punished…”
Shen Xingcong repeated: “It was out of the question to have more!”
Xiao Lin: “I’ll go get the sword.”
Seeing him turn around nimbly, Shen Xingcong suddenly thought whether he had been fooled.
Xiao Lin was so smart. How could he not know that ordinary reasons didn’t work, and he wasn’t afraid that he did have a preconception in advance.
This unexpected turn of events, this unexpected turn of events was he who has been getting used more than once for nothing!
.
The two senior brothers were still cultivating, and senior sister accompanied master out for a trip, but hadn’t yet returned. Then, it is necessary to take advantage of this gap to finish the fight.
The injury couldn’t be too heavy, it would cause master and senior sister to be angry; it also couldn’t be too light, perhaps applying the medicine would still let the two of them go to the Daoist Discussion Conference.
This degree is up to Shen Xingcong to grasp.
They looked for a secluded place. There were no tall woods around; all were tree stumps. It was probably cut off when senior brothers and sister practiced swords in the past.
Shen Xingcong saw that this place was suitable and carried his sword in his hand: “Please.”
Xiao Lin saw him putting on an act and couldn’t help but pull the corner of his mouth.
Shen Xingcong pressed down the volume of his voice and stifled: “You have to put on an act. Otherwise, there is no trace of a fight at all, so how can Master and the others believe it?”
Xiao Lin stood on the opposite side with a dull expression: “Then senior brother must restrain his strength.”
The Foundation Building stage came across the Unification stage. This battle was as outrageous as an ant trying to knock down an elephant.
Unfortunately, the elephant couldn’t use its full strength, not only to hurt the ants but also to be careful not to hurt too badly.
Shen Xingcong suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.
.
“Junior brother!!!”
Yun Xiu had just accompanied Elder Jing Xin back to the peak when she heard this wail.
Her nerves instantly tensed: “Master…”
Elder Jing Xin immediately changed the direction of his control of the sword and headed directly to the back mountain.
When the two landed, they saw four people standing in front of them.
No, three to be precise. The third senior brother was lying on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. He was breathing feebly.
“Yu Fei!”
Senior Sister Yun Xiu called out this person’s name and hurriedly stepped forward. Asking the other three people: “What’s going on here?”
“I, I don’t know.” The second senior brother looked frightened, “I just came here and saw Junior Brother Yu Fei lying on the ground.”
Senior Sister Yun Xiu looked around and found traces of a fight. Her expression was instantly serious: “Someone invaded Jing Xin Peak?”
“The barrier has never been moved by anyone.”
Elder Jing Xin wasn’t so flustered and stroked his beard, “Xingcong, tell me what’s going on?”
Shen Xingcong: “…”
It was really difficult to talk about the events.
He was fighting with his youngest junior brother. Seeing that the traces around him were left enough, he was ready to leave injuries on his body.
Just then, a black shadow suddenly pierced out from the forest.
“Don’t kill each other!”
Hearing the shout, he hastily withdrew his power. But somehow, that black shadow still fell.
Shen Xingcong recognized that it was Third Senior Brother Yu Fei and was about to step forward. As a result, someone else also came.
It was probably because he had just seen Yu Fei fall to the ground, wailing miserably.
The “junior brother” voice that attracted Senior Sister Yun Xiu and Elder Jing Xin was from second senior brother.
“Ahem.” Yu Fei coughed and propped himself up, “It has nothing to do with the two junior brothers. It was I who heard the noise outside while meditating and was worried that something had happened. I came out in a hurry, confiscated my spiritual qi for a while, and it collided with my heart. It’s nothing serious.”
After checking, Yun Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his injuries were indeed not harmful to his life.
However, she was still not at ease: “Tomorrow is the Daoist Discussion Conference. Since your heart vein is damaged, don’t go on the stage. Rest well.”
Yu Fei refused: “It’s just a small injury. We don’t have many people at Jing Xin Peak, so we can’t put all the pressure on you alone.”
Yun Xiu frowned: “It’s just the Daoist Discussion Conference. There are more every year. Damage to the heart vein is no small matter. If you don’t properly recuperate, it will affect your cultivation in the future.”
Elder Jing Xin: “Your senior sister is right. Yu Fei, you shouldn’t go this year.”
“…yes.”
Although Yu Fei was unwilling, seeing that his master and senior sister had spoken, he could only comply.
“It’s time to deal with you guys next.” Yun Xiu got up and turned towards Shen Xingcong and Xiao Lin.
“Say, why did the two of you get into a fight?”
Xiao Lin was about to speak but was stopped by Yun Xiu raising her hand: “No, you don’t have to say anything. It must be your senior brother who brought you down.”
Shen Xingcong defended: “I just wanted to compare notes with youngest junior brother…”
“Compare notes?” Yun Xiu was even more stern, “Ever since the two of you entered, I have repeatedly emphasized that no private fights are allowed. Now that the Daoist Discussion Conference is approaching, and yet you are still causing this matter, could it be that you do it on purpose?”
“It’s just that you’re usually indolent, but you even caused Yu Fei to be injured this time. How are you going to be responsible for that?”
Yu Fei wanted to be a peacemaker: “No, senior sister, this time it is indeed my own haste. It’s not that Xingcong hurt me…”
“There is no need to say more.”
Yun Xiu turned towards Elder Jing Xin and cupped her hand.
“Master, Xingcong has a loose temperament. I’m worried that this Daoist Discussion Conference will stir up trouble, so it’s better to let him accompany Yu Fei to stay at Jing Xin Peak together.”
Shen Xingcong never expected that not only did he not let Xiao Lin stay this time, but he tied his hands and feet instead.
But how could he give up?
“If I should stay, Xiao Lin made the same mistake with me, and we should stay together!”
Yun Xiu: “Xiao Lin was clearly forced to be brought here by you. At the end of the day, you still want to throw sewage on your youngest junior brother?”
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Shen Xingcong was simply dying of anxiety.
Xiao Lin glanced at him and spoke: “Senior sister, I came here voluntarily with senior brother. If comparing notes in secret is counted as a mistake, I shall accept the punishment together.”
“Xiao Lin, you’re at it again.” Yun Xiu sighed, “I know you respect and love your senior brother, but there’s no need to speak up for him every time. Especially this time, the punishment is not only because of comparing notes but also because he was undisciplined before. He must control his temperament.”
Seeing that things would be settled conclusively, Shen Xingcong simply broke the jar and broke down: “Understood, I’ll stay, and that will do!”
“Senior sister has favored Xiao Lin the most since entering, and she had a smile on her face when she mentioned him. To me, she has been frowning coldly, targeting me in every way.”
Yun Xiu had never seen Shen Xingcong lose his temper and couldn’t help but be stunned. Only after a long time did she say: “That, isn’t it because you are lazy all day long, I’m worried…”
“Yes, I’m lazy all day long. I’m gluttonous and lazy. Even living is a waste of fresh air.”
Yun Xiu: “I didn’t say to this extent either…”
Shen Xingcong: “Senior sister didn’t say it on her lips, but her expression in her eyes could tell. Otherwise, why would she only target me time and time again? This time, too, without distinguishing between right and wrong, she said that it was me who brought down youngest junior brother.”
Yun Xiu couldn’t say anything.
Elder Jing Xin was watching everything from the side and finally spoke: “Yun Xiu, Xingcong and Xiao Lin are different in nature. You must not act according to likes and dislikes.”
Yun Xiu felt guilty: “Yes, Master.”
She began to reflect on whether she had been too obvious in her differentiation.
She had only wanted to take good care of the disciples on behalf of her master. But perhaps because Shen Xingcong is usually careless and has a good temper, it has caused her to lose her sense of propriety in her speech.
Shen Xingcong actually didn’t worry about this matter at all.
He knew that Senior Sister Yun Xiu was in charge, and that’s why she was dissatisfied with him for neglecting his cultivation. But at this moment, after all the bickering, he also had to continue pretending.
“Words of apology are unnecessary.” He deliberately twisted his head away, “I’ll stay at Jing Xin Peak and watch over the house properly.”
This was an ironic remark.
He was trying to remind the other person to punish him. If the other person had a guilty conscience, the punishment should be revoked. Or let Xiao Lin stay together without discrimination.
Of course, the latter would be best.
If it was the former, things had changed, and now he had to brace himself to go to the Daoist Discussion Conference with Xiao Lin.
Anyway, there were so many cultivators there. As he looked at Xiao Lin, the two of them were definitely unable to meet.
“Xingcong.”
Yun Xiu seemed to think of something, “The reason why you’re looking for your junior brother to compare notes is because of tomorrow’s Daoist Discussion Conference?”
Shen Xingcong didn’t know what she was planning to do and vaguely replied: “I did get a little excited because of it…”
Yun Xiu seemed to have made up her mind: “In that case, you will participate on behalf of Yu Fei.”
Shen Xingcong: “Ah?”
Yun Xiu: “There just happens to be one more quota. You don’t have to be pressured. Just think of it as gaining first-hand knowledge.”
Shen Xingcong: “No, I…”
“I was wrong before and will pay more attention in the future.”
Yun Xiu held Shen Xingcong’s hand, her eyes sincere, “Teach students according to their aptitude. If you like to accumulate experience from actual combat, I will also make more arrangements in the future.”
Shen Xingcong: “…”
Ah?
Ah????
Shen Xingcong dug a pit for himself 😂😂 But hey, at least Xiao Lin isn’t going to see Murong Yan!
He messed up so big, haha (ಡ艸ಡ)
Thank You for the new chapter (๑♡ v ♡๑)
Tying up one’s feet is Shen Xingcong’s talent ah.
