“Are you really not in trouble?”

“……This started at your feet, you said so yourself.”

“That’s not what I meant! How can it take so long! My feet are sore.”

Anuo came back just in time to hear this dialogue outside the door, so scared she didn’t dare to go in.

Little Tuanzi didn’t know what had started at the feet, but Shen Tang’s voice, filled with coquettishness and charm, just made people’s hearts tremble with fear. It felt like she had fainted from lack of oxygen after kissing.

After all, she hadn’t reached the upper three grades, and she still hadn’t reached the point where her pores could synchronize with the cycles of heaven and earth, she still needed to breathe.

But coming back to the topic, what level of battle could make Shen Tang, a Grade Four martial cultivator,’s feet tired? Could it be that the Huangji Jingshi Jing is really too weak?

Anuo scratched her head, hugged her knees and squatted outside the door, her chin resting on her knees, lost in thought.

Inside, Lu Xingzhou let out a very strange sound, and Shen Tang’s voice came through again, unclear with anger: “So disgusting…… How am I supposed to walk?”

Lu Xingzhou’s voice seemed a little shaky, accompanied by a laugh, he said: “This subordinate will help the sect master wash her feet.”

Anuo trembled a little. She confirmed that this was the first time in her life she had heard her master speak in such a fawning manner. Even when facing Sister Yu, her master was very indifferent. Has this master been possessed by someone…

Footsteps rose, Anuo moved away a bit, the side door opened, and Lu Xingzhou carried Shen Tang out horizontally.

Anuo quickly turned her head away, simply unable to look.

The dignified sect master who was so composed inside every day also seemed to be possessed, softly nestled in the man’s embrace. Her clothes were open, even peeled down from her shoulder to her elbow. What was visible above was pure white like snow, and a small belly band in front covered almost nothing, leaking wind everywhere.

Anuo could still see something jumping from her side face, trembling repeatedly, just like the ball she had snatched from other children in the city earlier.

As for what caused the need to wash feet…

Anuo trembled slightly, unable to see clearly. The two of them were already sitting by the edge of the pond.

Anuo poked her head over, just seeing something white flowing out from the special gap opened along the pond edge with the water, circling and flowing down the mountain.

She didn’t know if there were people drinking this water down the mountain… Anuo put her hands together and prayed for the people on the other side.

“Huh? Anuo, why are you here?” While they were washing feet intimately, by the time the feet were almost finished washing, the two of them finally reacted to someone sitting there watching, hugging her knees.

Shen Tang was startled and immediately left Lu Xingzhou’s embrace, busy and flustered trying to put on her clothes.

Anuo secretly pouted. With this kind of alertness, she was still a judge, still a sect master. If an assassin really came, you two would be finished.

This family couldn’t do without Anuo, it would fall apart.

With a fawning smile on her face, she took out a handful of candy: “There was a wedding in the city and they scattered candy, I snatched a lot. Would Master and Mistress like some?”

The phrase “Master and Mistress” made the originally panicked Shen Tang bloom with happiness: “Anuo is so obedient.”

Saying this, she took out a large piece of gold yuanbao: “This is New Year’s money.”

With a whoosh, Anuo’s actions were as fast as lightning. Shen Tang hadn’t even reacted before the yuanbao was gone.

“……” Lu Xingzhou quickly gave Anuo a fierce eye signal. Anuo, having benefited, didn’t act cute anymore. She excitedly and spiritedly ran away with the yuanbao.

The young couple looked at each other, both smiling. The previous lingering and awkwardness finally dissipated, and they returned to their normal way of getting along. Shen Tang used the clear pond water to tidy her messy hair. Lu Xingzhou helped her comb her hair from behind, laughing awkwardly: “Well, for the past year, us two master and disciple were poor.”

Shen Tang laughed and said: “Anuo is hard to raise. You alone can’t earn enough to fill this bottomless pit. This is the first time I’ve seen a child who grew up eating pills.”

Lu Xingzhou felt the same way. What do you mean, only eating pills to grow up? As her cultivation level increased, the grade of pills she needed to eat also increased. Ordinary people really couldn’t afford to raise her. He, Lu Xingzhou, already had quite a bit of means, he just hadn’t cut off the supply in the previous year.

Shen Tang said: “Anuo’s situation must be special, haven’t you tried to investigate?”

In fact, by today, Lu Xingzhou suspected that Anuo herself was a pill, that she had jumped out of that pill furnace together with it… or rather, it was because Anuo ran away that she brought the pill furnace out with her.

But the main problem was that no matter how he checked, she was still human. Even Yuan Muyu had checked her like this at first. No one could get a conclusive piece of evidence, so they could only keep it as a guess for now.

If Yuan Muyu’s strength wasn’t enough to analyze, then who could? Gu Zhanting? Ye Tinglan?

It was uncontrollable. If they really found something, it would kill Anuo.

“What’s wrong with being confused?” Lu Xingzhou stretched lazily, laughing and saying: “No matter Anuo’s origin, she is my relative, someone I rely on as family.”

Shen Tang felt it wasn’t just a matter of relying on each other as family… Lu Xingzhou’s experiences from a young age could easily lead to him turning into a demon. The reason why his conscience hadn’t been extinguished was largely related to raising a cute child. Without Anuo, the current Lu Xingzhou would definitely not have this temperament.

So, everyone should first thank Anuo.

While they were talking, her hair was combed. Lu Xingzhou conjured a jade hairpin and put it in her hair.

Shen Tang looked at his actions and the jade hairpin reflected in the pond water, and seemed to see the ripples in her own eyes from the water, full, just like the pond water.

“It’s been so long, you haven’t given me anything, why are you suddenly giving me something today?” Shen Tang spat lightly: “It shouldn’t be because of what started at your feet?”

“How could it be? Could I have guessed this when I bought the hairpin?” Lu Xingzhou turned her around, leaning back and looking at her for a while, saying seriously: “I have no experience, I forgot about giving gifts for a while… I thought about it a few days ago since New Year was coming, so I went to Wanbao Pavilion to bid for a copy. This hairpin can defend against divine soul impact and has a strong resistance to confusing mind techniques. Since we have friction with the Ya Nu Hehuan Sect now, this is quite suitable for you.”

Shen Tang smiled slightly.

Whether the effect of the magic treasure was suitable or not, it didn’t really matter. There wasn’t much level of magic treasures that could be said to be high in Xia State’s Wanbao Pavilion. But even if this was just an ordinary jade hairpin, it could make people happy in their hearts.

She actually wanted to laugh at Lu Xingzhou. At this time, saying “you are really beautiful” would be much more effective than seriously introducing the magic treasure’s effect, but he seemed to truly have no experience in this area, a bit naive.

So how did the two of them become like this? Thinking carefully, it was impossible to figure out. It seemed they just naturally and smoothly walked together.

Moreover, not to mention the dog man and woman over there being endlessly affectionate, Anuo over there had already taken the yuanbao and jumped and skipped down the mountain along the stream, planning to go back to the city to dig for some things.

She was halfway down the mountain when she was suddenly slightly stunned. A woman in simple, common clothing was wandering randomly in the mountains, seemingly lost.

Anuo knew this wasn’t being lost. This mountain had been set up with a maze array by the master, and if one flew into the area, they would suffer extremely fierce array attacks. Otherwise, with their almost zero alertness when they were being affectionate, how could they dare to hide on the mountain alone…

The ground wasn’t set up with attacks to worry about ordinary cultivators from Xia State mistakenly entering. Using a maze array was just to avoid accidental injury. Only people from Xia State all knew this was the territory of Tianxing Jianzong, and generally wouldn’t dare to rush in randomly. For the past few months, there hadn’t been any incidents of someone mistakenly rushing in and getting lost.

This woman did have a faint cultivation level on her body, a small appearance of Grade Eight or Nine… Is she an ordinary cultivator?

Seeing a child standing by the stream looking at her, the woman also quickly noticed and waved from afar: “Little sister, I seem to be lost, do you know how to go up the mountain?”

“Up the mountain?” Anuo said strangely: “This is private land, what are you going up for?”

The woman ran over panting, bending hard at the waist and supporting her knees, gasping: “I-I can’t walk anymore, little sister, do you have any water?”

“No.” Anuo’s eyes darted around, and she stepped aside: “Isn’t there a stream here?”

The woman hesitated and said: “I heard this is a private spiritual spring, will it be bad if I drink it randomly?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Anuo smiled and narrowed her eyes: “I’ll invite you to drink.”

The woman said thank you happily, squatted down and scooped up the water to drink vigorously. It seemed she had really been wandering here for half a day and was very thirsty.

Anuo crossed her arms and stood by, observing her from behind in circles. Her sharp eyes saw that what the master had just washed off her mistress’s feet earlier was floating over just right. The woman didn’t know if she was putting on a show of drinking thirstily for Anuo to see or if she was being genuine. In short, she didn’t notice for a moment and actually drank that thing.

“Urgh… ptooey ptooey ptooey…” The woman almost spit it out: “What is this?”

“Ah, it should be caused by spirit energy condensing into a solid state. Sister, you’re really lucky.”

Woman: “……”

Anuo smiled and narrowed her eyes: “So, sister, what are you doing coming up the mountain?”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, her expression dejected: “My mother has a strange illness. I heard that the pill master, Mr. Lu, who is on the new list, lives here, so I specially came to ask for help.”

“Why didn’t you go find Pill Medicine Division’s Master Chen? My master often goes to him for advice.”

“Master Chen doesn’t easily diagnose for people. Otherwise, with his prestige, the queue for seeking a doctor would have to wait until next year, and it still wouldn’t be my turn.”

“Couldn’t others cure it?”

“They couldn’t cure it. I really had no other choice but to come and disturb Mr. Lu.” The woman said anxiously: “Little sister, are you Mr. Lu’s disciple? Can you help pass on a message?”

Anuo touched her round, smooth chin and said honestly: “Of course I can.”

After saying that, she didn’t go down the mountain anymore. She jumped and skipped back up the mountain: “Follow me, don’t go more than five steps away.”

The woman also followed honestly behind, watching Anuo sway from left to right. The clearly very troublesome maze array seemed to have little effect, and she looked like she was just following the stream up.

Surprise flickered in the woman’s eyes.

“Lu Xingzhou’s cultivation is average, but his array skills are really high. I actually can’t break this maze array. The little girl is easy to deceive. I’ll remember her footfall points, and this array can be researched.”

“Sister.” Anuo said from the front: “My name is Anuo, I forgot to ask for your name?”

The woman said carefully: “My common surname is Huo, my humble name is Chunjing.”

Huo is a big surname in Xia State, and choosing this surname is least likely to arouse suspicion. However, she didn’t know that Anuo in front blinked her eyes. Sister Pei, you are so eager to enter my master’s door, you still have to see if I, Anuo, agree.

Pei Chuyun didn’t know how she had exposed herself, but the more she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. She always felt like she had walked for a long time, but the scenery in the mountains hadn’t changed. This mountain itself wasn’t too high, she had already walked half of it before. Would she have to walk so long to continue going up?

“Little sister, are we walking the wrong way?” Pei Chuyun became a little alert and asked carefully.

“It’s a maze array. It’s supposed to make you go in circles.” Anuo waved her hand: “Look, aren’t we almost there?”

Pei Chuyun raised her head and looked into the distance, indeed seeing a corner of a building faintly appearing. Her heart relaxed slightly, and she quickened her pace to follow.

The building gradually became fully visible, but it was a dignified and serious hall pavilion. Pei Chuyun was a little surprised. Hadn’t she heard that Lu Xingzhou and his disciple lived on a mountain peak? Why would they need such a large hall?

Walking closer, the words on the plaque of the hall pavilion finally came into view. Three big words were written on it: “Sword Peak Hall”.

Anuo suddenly rushed forward: “Grandpa Zhang, come out and fight the monster!”

Whoosh! A Grade Three sword energy suddenly shot out from the hall, accompanied by the cold voice of Sword Peak Hall Master, Zhang Shaoyou: “What distinguished person dares to intrude upon my Tianxing Jianzong!”

Pei Chuyun’s body flashed and she ran, but around her, shadows flickered, and she was already surrounded by a sword array.

Pei Chuyun finally had to admit that she, who usually deceived others, had been deceived by a child this time.

The reason she walked so far wasn’t because the maze array made her go in circles, but because she had arrived at another mountain peak, directly being sent to the door of Tianxing Jianzong’s strongest Sword Peak Hall!
