Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Inside the car, Chi Buwan and Xie Hanfeng were eating peaches together.

Xie Hanfeng: "You know what, these peaches are quite sweet."

"Right?" Chi Buwan ate happily.

The two finished their meal happily, and their eyes fell on the peaches on the table that belonged to Wei Hanling.

Wei Hanling slightly raised her eyes and said, "Eat."

The two shared the peach.

Wei Hanling looked at the two people in front of her and waited for them to finish eating before speaking: "The demon lord left the demon realm a month ago. We must be careful in this competition."

"Winning or losing is not important. If anything happens, you must protect your disciple."

Xie Hanfeng: "Of course."

She nodded slightly, not too late.

He actually guessed it.

Demon Lord Canglongyuan was cautious and ruthless. When he killed Xiao Wuli's parents, he not only drained their blood, but also removed his mother's uterus and chopped his father into a eunuch, eliminating any possibility of Xiao Wuli's birth.

If he hadn't awakened at the wrong time, he probably would have transmigrated to before Xiao Wuli was even born.

[The Demon Lord is in the late stage of the Mahayana realm, but his strength far surpasses Lu Kuangtao's.] 337 said seriously, [We can't let him know that Xiao Wuli is still alive, otherwise things will become very difficult to handle.]

[I went back to the Main Temple a while ago to report the lack of missions and the difficulty in earning points, and my application was approved today.] 337 said: [So, missions will drop frequently in the coming days, please check your inbox.]

Nodding sooner or later.

[Task: Help the male protagonist reach the Foundation Establishment stage! Points +1]

Is it too late?:........

[This is falling way too fast!]

Little Dumpling 337 scratches his head.

.

The carriage stopped in front of the inn.

At Xie Hanfeng's suggestion, Chi Buwan put on a veil, the thin gauze covering his face, only his outline could be vaguely seen.

Xie Hanfeng observed for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "I think... how about you wear a mascot costume? You know, the kind that's baggy and oversized."

Is it too late?:........

Not too late: "Get lost."

Wei Hanling glanced at him again, then looked away and got out of the car.

Fearing he would be beaten, Xie Hanfeng quickly followed Wei Hanling out of the car.

Chi Buwan slowly bent down and stepped out of the carriage, raising his eyes to look into the distance, where a large group of disciples were gathered.

It wasn't just the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, but also those from other sects and factions.

Perhaps it was because they saw the arrival of the Lingxiao Sect that their eyes were all turned in this direction.

Chi Buwan paused slightly, looked around, and seemed somewhat puzzled.

Why does it feel like everyone's looking at him?

"Master."

Chi Buwan withdrew his gaze and looked down at Xiao Wuli, who was standing by the carriage and reaching out to help him down.

【well...】

He let out a long sigh, not too late.

337 asked in confusion: [What's wrong, host?]

Chi Buwan said: "No one is better at raising disciples than Xiao Wuli!"

337:........

Chi Buwan reached out and placed his hand in Xiao Wuli's palm, using the leverage to get out of the car, and then withdrew his hand.

[You know what, if you ignore the absurd plot twists later in the book and focus on Xiao Wuli, he's actually a pretty good person. He's thoughtful and hardworking. If he had a few more disciples like him, his life as a master would be wonderful.]

337 looked at Xiao Wuli, who was trying hard to suppress his excitement, and remained silent.

Chi Buwan walked slowly forward and entered the inn.

The Lingxiao Sect attends the sect conference every year, so at this time of year, there are special inns that have rooms available for them, and accommodations are arranged for everyone.

Only eight disciples from Xuejiang Peak attended the event, and they were all on the same floor as the sect elders and sect leader.

Chi Buwan's room was next to Xie Hanfeng's, while Wei Hanling was in the far corner, quiet and undisturbed.

Xiao Wuli, who registered the latest, was assigned a room in a corner on the other side, the furthest from Chi Buwan.

Xiao Wuli stood at the entrance of the corridor, turned his head to look at his master who was being led forward by the sect leader with his arm around his shoulder, and pursed his lips.

Only after the figure entered the room did he slowly withdraw his gaze, lower his head, and turn to walk in the other direction.

But after taking only a couple of steps, he rallied again.

He clenched his well-defined fingers, grasping the lingering warmth in his palm, and smiled.

It's just that he's far away. As long as he's diligent, he'll definitely be able to see his master every day!

There are still three days until the sect conference officially begins.

And in these three days... Xiao Wuli did not see Chi Buwan.

Xiao Wuli gets up early every day to cultivate, keeping his eyes and ears open, but all he can hear are the conversations of other disciples.

"Where did Master and the Sect Leader go today?"

"I heard from the disciples of the Hehuan Sect that they saw their master and sect leader at the Peach Blossom Pastry Shop."

"It seems we also went to the rice wine shop."

"..."

"There are long queues at every shop now. I also went to the peach blossom pastry shop and bought some pastries. They're so delicious! Do you want to try some?"

"Mmm! Delicious! Master and Sect Leader are still such connoisseurs. Where's the shop? I'll go buy some to try later."

"It's just a little way to the right after you leave the inn. Walk a few more steps and you'll see the longest queue. I'm going to buy some rice wine to try later."

"Aren't cultivators supposed to have already established their foundation and no longer consume mortal food? These miscellaneous items will interfere with their cultivation, what about Master and the others..."

"I'll only have a taste occasionally, I won't eat too much. My master and the others don't need to worry either, they can eliminate impurities from their bodies with a little internal energy."

"..."

Xiao Wuli opened his eyes, his phoenix eyes looking ahead, and pursed his lips.

The old man couldn't leave the ring and could only stay within three meters of Xiao Wuli, yawning several times out of boredom.

I said, "You train so hard every day, and now that you've finally gotten a chance to come out, why don't you go out and have some fun?"

Xiao Wuli's expression was serious. "Tomorrow is the sect assembly. My master has high expectations of me; I cannot let him down."

The old man slammed himself onto the bed with a thud, saying, "I have never seen such a boring and stupid person as you."

Xiao Wuli paused.

...boring.

Is he bored?

The sect leader is quite interesting, so is that why Master likes to spend time with the sect leader?

Xiao Wuli bit her lip.

"Well, it's good to cultivate diligently. You'll be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in less than half a month." The old man was quite satisfied with this.

He reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just two months. At this rate of effort and cultivation speed, a new god will be born in this world in less than a hundred years. And at that time, someone will be able to reshape his physical body.

Old man: [But you also need to balance work and rest. Take a rest tonight, and go buy some peach blossom pastries to see if they're as delicious as the rumors say.]

A surge of emotion welled up within Xiao Wuli, and he said, "I've never liked peach blossom pastries."

Old man:........

Xiao Wuli closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

He wanted to win the sect tournament, make his master happy, and then... smile at someone as boring as him.
