The plot of "Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One Always Collapses" is incomplete.

Ever since 188 went to the world to adjust the plot that day, he has been out of contact until now, and Wen Yubai even suspects that he has gone into hibernation again.

He stayed at the Repentance Cliff, and every now and then Elder Jin would send someone to ask him what was going on and whether he was being threatened.

He shook his head, insisting that he had no ulterior motives or coercion, and that he simply wanted to kill Li Mingya.

He refused to believe that even though the person involved had admitted the facts, they still couldn't be convicted.

A cold wind blew in snowflakes from the cave entrance.

Wen Yubai removed half of his clothes, the wounds left by the poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Evil Cave had not yet fully healed.

He dipped the ointment in and applied it to his back by feel.

Touching the wound with my fingertips hurts so much that my vision goes black, and when the cold wind blows, the wound feels like it's being pricked with needles.

"hiss."

It was cold, spicy, and incredibly painful.

Suddenly, I remembered the medicinal pool at Danfeng. If I could soak in that pool full of medicinal essence, this injury would probably have healed long ago.

Unlike now, I can't even reach my back to apply medicine.

In the dim light, the young man's slender figure appeared particularly thin.

His fair back was covered with hideous scars, and his black hair was disheveled and hung over his shoulders, making his skin look even paler.

The moment Xie Linchen stepped into the cave, this was the scene he saw.

Hearing footsteps, Wen Yubai turned his head to look.

Those usually aloof eyes were now slightly red from the pain, and a hint of panic flashed across them when they saw who it was.

"Master?"

He hurriedly gathered his clothes, but was frozen in place by a spiritual force.

A snow-white robe came into view, and he felt Xie Linchen's gaze fall on his scarred back.

Xie Linchen frowned slightly as he looked at the medicine jar in his hand.

He took out a golden medicine jar from his storage ring. When the lid was opened, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

While Wen Yubai was still in a daze, Xie Linchen had already applied the ointment to his wound.

His fingertips were calloused, and the force he applied was so strong that it made him groan.

"Now you know what pain is?"

Xie Linchen's tone was indifferent, but his movements became much gentler. "Before you acted, why didn't you consider that you might get hurt?"

Wen Yubai pursed his lips and said with difficulty, "I am sorry to trouble you, Master. I am guilty."

"Sin? Your greatest sin is that you've made yourself into this state."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yubai was somewhat surprised.

What did Xie Linchen mean by those words?

He sensed something was wrong and tried to turn around, but a warm hand gripped the back of his neck.

Xie Linchen looked at him; the crisscrossing wounds on his back resembled blooming flowers, presenting an eerie beauty.

His fingertips unconsciously traced the scars, feeling the trembling of the skin beneath them.

"Master...Master?"

This sense of control stirred a strange restlessness in Xie Linchen, which traveled down his spine and lingered in his lower back.

Wen Yubai flinched, his back tensing.

"Don't…"

This barely audible resistance only made Xie Linchen increase his strength.

Wen Yubai finally couldn't help but break free from his restraints and turned to ask Xie Linchen.

"Master, you..."

But the moment he looked up, his voice stopped abruptly as he met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Those light-colored eyes should have been empty, indifferent to the world.

But at this moment, Wen Yubai saw something different, something he didn't understand and couldn't explain.

When he makes eye contact with him, he feels like he's being stared at, which makes him instinctively want to back away.

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Xie Linchen suddenly closed in, trapping Wen Yubai between himself and the wall.

Wen Yubai leaned back uncomfortably, lowered his head, and said, "This disciple is unworthy to be your disciple, and requests to be expelled from the master..."

A finger was placed on his lips, cutting him off before he could finish speaking.

Xie Linchen understood perfectly well that his disciple was too impatient.

His eagerness to sever the master-disciple relationship stemmed from his desire to break free from the constraints of that title and pursue his own path openly and honestly.

Naive. Did he ever consider that even if he were expelled from the sect, he would still bear the marks of Qingheng Immortal Venerable, and the master-disciple relationship could not be erased?

That's really the worst possible strategy.

Moreover, he did not want Wen Yubai to tarnish his own reputation.

"I have my own plans."

Xie Linchen ran his thumb over the tightly pursed lips until it was stained with a bright color, then released his hand before the latter noticed something was wrong.

Although Wen Yubai found Xie Linchen's behavior strange today, he simply assumed that Xie was surprised by his disciple's actions and did not think much of it.

This scene inside the cave was completely observed by someone outside the cave entrance, who was hidden in the darkness.

Those golden eyes were dark and unfathomable, staring intently at the two people inside the cave.

Wen Yubai might not understand, but Ye Lanxuan saw it clearly. From the moment he applied the medicine to Wen Yubai, Xie Linchen's eyes were filled with a kind of burning desire.

This legendary immortal, Qingheng, who is said to be detached from worldly affairs, actually harbored such thoughts about his disciple?

ha?

What a hilarious joke.

But he couldn't smile at all.

He had finally finished dealing with the Demon Sect's affairs and rushed to the Xuan Tian Sect, only to see this scene.

He was very unhappy, feeling as if his chest was being gnawed by a million poisonous insects.

Jealous?

It seems so; he's never touched Wen Yubai like that before.

Like it?

That's not necessarily true. He's always been cynical, and he's just found a cute and novel toy that's piqued his interest.

But even if it's a toy, he doesn't want anyone else to touch it.

It seems the plan needs to be moved up a bit; Chu Mingyuan should wake up soon.

Ye Lanxuan glanced at the figure inside the cave, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

He originally disliked Chu Mingyuan and wanted to make him suffer from nightmares for a few more days.

But now, he can't wait to bring the person he's set his sights on back home.

The next day, Ye Lanxuan changed into the robes of a Danfeng disciple, deftly avoided the guards, and turned to enter Chu Mingyuan's healing room.

He fed Chu Mingyuan the pills he had prepared in advance; the pills melted instantly upon entering his mouth.

Chu Mingyuan's body stiffened, and he began to cough violently.

This pill will prematurely activate the toxicity of the Heart-Eating Pill he previously gave Chu Mingyuan, using poison to fight poison. Although the process will be painful, it will completely devour the poison of the Ten Thousand Evil Cave's venomous insects.

"Cough, cough!"

Chu Mingyuan opened his eyes, and his first words were, "Where is my senior brother?"

Ye Lanxuan chuckled, "Don't worry, he's not dead."

Chu Mingyuan recognized the Demon Lord from the tone of his voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Who do you think saved you? This bunch of useless trash from the Xuantian Sect?"

Chu Mingyuan sneered: "Who told you to save me?"

Unrequited love.

His senior brother didn't want him, so Chu Mingyuan didn't want to live anymore; he'd rather die.

"Whether you live or die is irrelevant, but before you die, you must tell me the whereabouts of the Heavenly Key."

Seeing Chu Mingyuan remain silent, he continued, "Otherwise, your good senior brother..."

"You dare!"

Chu Mingyuan suddenly grabbed his collar.

Ye Lanxuan easily pried his hand away. "I'm only giving you one month. You know, there are plenty of ways in this world to make life worse than death."

It's foolish to expose one's weaknesses so obviously before having absolute strength.

If he weren't still of any use, I would have killed him long ago.

Chu Mingyuan finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't touch him. I'll give you the Heavenly Key."

Not long after Ye Lanxuan left, the door to the treatment room was pushed open by an unexpected visitor.
