“What exactly was that creature? Can Zhangmen find out clearly?”
Jian Xiuyun was half-lying on a glazed soft mahogany couch, covered with a thin cyan silk quilt which felt quite comfortable against his skin. The silk quilt clung to his body, outlining his slender and slim figure. His long hair was untied, cascading down to his shoulders and lay scattered on the couch like splashed ink. His eyes were half-lidded, squinting due to the warm sunshine. The usually sharpness was nowhere to be found, and even showed a rare hint of gentleness. Even the words he spoke were tainted with a little laziness.
Yu Shaozhi looked at him and couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Not getting a response, Jian Xiuyun looked sideways at him confusedly, and pressed on, “Hm?”
Yu Shaozhi came back to his senses and immediately averted his eyes, smiling awkwardly as he replied, “The creature self-destructed on the spot, leaving behind no traces. I have already given the order to seal the abyss and investigate to see if any useful clues can be found.”
Hearing this, Jian Xiuyun’s eyes darkened, “That half-human half-demon thing should not have been born. It must have been cultivated secretly by someone with ill intentions hidden in the abyss. No matter what their purpose is, it does not seem to be anything good.”
“What Shixiong said absolutely makes sense. I will definitely investigate this matter. The truth will come to light.”
Jian Xiuyun responded lightly and paid him no more attention. Yu Shaozhi knew that this was the attitude he showed when he wanted people to leave. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still got up.
“Shixiong, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Mhm.”
Yu Shaozhi smiled and walked out. Although it had been some time since he took over the position of sect leader, he could never show the momentum of a leader in front of Jian Xiuyun.
After Yu Shaozhi left, Jian Xiuyuns eyes finally fell on the young man standing not far away.
Kan Wenxiao stood in the middle of the yard, his body bent over like a bow and his face flushed. Veins popped up on his forehead, and his arms were shaking constantly, obviously exhausted. But he still held on stubbornly and held the tank on his back with every last bit of his strength.
It was a water tank, taller than himself. Although he was already in the Golder Core stage and hi physical fitness was better than that of an ordinary person, carrying such a large tank on his back was obviously too much for his body.
Jian Xiuyun glanced at the almost completely burned incense beside him and raised his eyebrows. It was quite impressive. Three incense sticks had already been burnt and Kan Wenxiao could still hold on.
After that last bit of incense burned out, Jian Xiuyun finally opened his mouth and ordered, “Wenxiao, put it down.”
Hearing Jian Xiuyun’s words, he slowly exhaled. The big tank was put down. When it touched the ground, his legs instantly softened and he quickly held on to the edge of the tank for support.
It was only after a while that he could lift his legs and walk towards Jian Xiuyun.

Jian Xiuyun didn’t notice this and feigned a distressed tone.
“Shizun is aware of how tiring this is, but you are different from Qingru, Liaoting, and others. Although your spiritual power is domineering, your muscles and veins are not strong enough to withstand your spiritual power well, which makes you unable to fully utilize your spiritual power. What I am asking you to do now is to completely temper your tendons…” Jian Xiuyun blabbered on and on nonsensically.
It wasn’t about strong tendons or blocked spiritual power. He just didn’t want Kan Wenxiao to live comfortably, that was all.
But he would refrain from being as straightforward as in his previous life, and instead use more tactful ways to harm him without being obvious.
Kan Wenxiao didn’t doubt him. After listening, h nodded obediently and said, “Disciple understands. Thank you, Shizun, for your teachings.”
Jian Xiuyun smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pick up a piece of pine nut and lily pastry. Song Qingru bought if for him in the morning from Baiwei Hall.
Just as he was about to bite into the pastry, Kan Wenxiao stepped forward and took away the pastry in his hand, “Shizun, the time for lunch is arriving, so don’t eat these. What do you want for lunch? I’ll make it for you.”
Since his golden core was shattered, Jian Xiuyun had become no different from a mortal and could not live without three meals a day.
Yu Shaozhi originally wanted to instruct Baiwei Hall to send over three meals a day, but Kan Wenxiao objected and said that he could cook.
At first, Jian Xiuyun was dubious, until he ate a meal cooked by Kan Wenxiao, which left him astonished. After that, his meals were under Kan Wenxiao’s responsibility.
“Rouge goose breast, crab meat and lion head, cold pork knuckle, crispy duck.” Jian Xiuyun began to name the dishes.
Kan Wenxiao patiently listened to what he said, his expression unchanged, and nodded, “Okay, braised radish with mushrooms and scallops, bamboo shoots with bracken, ginger sauce and water shield porridge.”
Jian Xiuyun, “What about all that I just said to you?”
Kan Wenxiao, “Shizun’s body is currently not suitable for consuming too much greasy food.”
Jian Xiuyun, “…Then why did you ask me?”
Kan Wenxiao, “I still had to ask Shizun’s opinion.”
Well done!
Although there was no meat, Kan Wenxiao’s craftsmanship was really good, and Jian Xiuyun was more than happy after eating the meal.
After finishing his meal, Jian Xiuyun wiped his mouth with satisfaction, lay back again, and lazily basked in the sun.
Although this whole day of eating and sleeping was a bit boring, honestly, it was quite comfortable. If his golden core hadn’t been shattered and injured, he would have felt even better.
When I think of my golden core, I naturally think of the culprit, Kan Wenxiao. My anger gradually rises again, and I’ll make sure to change to a larger tank next time. Jian Xiuyun thought.
Of course, Kan Wenxiao didn’t know. He quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks. When he came back, he found that Jian Xiuyun had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.
Kan Wenxiao’s steps were light. He walked over and gingerly picked him up, walking towards the room.
It wasn’t convenient for Jian Xiuyun to walk these days, so it was Kan Wenxiao’s duty to carry him wherever he wanted to go, and by now he was already used it.
But no matter how many times he carried him, Kan Wenxiao couldn’t help but sight. How could Shizun be so light?
Jian Xiuyun was the peak he could not climb over.
But now he discovered that when sleeping, Jian Xiuyun would also shrink and curl up in a ball like a cat. As if he would be hurt, like fragile porcelain.
Kan Wenxiao placed Jian Xiuyun on the bed, gently tucked him in, and admired his sleeping face, slightly dazed.
The recent days felt like a dream.
Before, he had never dared to think that one day, Shizun would personally teach him, conduct a special training session for him, supervise him personally, eat the food he cooked, and even give him a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat. He really treated him as his apprentice.
Kan Wenxiao lowered his head, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes,
Although it was still a long time to go, he had already thought about his birthday wish and hoped that such days would last forever.
While he was lost in his wild fantasies, Jian Xiuyun lifted his eyelids with hazy sleepiness in his eyes, but still forced himself to say drowsily, “Do you remember the afternoon training plan?”
Kan Wenxiao hastened to nod, “Yes, I remember. I must go to the back mountain and cut down twenty trees without using any spiritual power.”
Jian Xiuyun nodded and then closed his eyes with satisfaction again.
Hahahaha, Jian Xiuyun is so petty
ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª
Thank you for the chapter!
… Shizun, do you realise that you just make him more muscular!?
Oh well, more stamina for future activity XD
Hehe 🤭
