Lin Ziranâs thoughts wandered while boiling water outside. He didnât know what Mu Yazhu was going to say to Mu YangâŚ
It didnât take long for Mu Yang to come out. He looked calm, smiled at Lin Ziran and said, âDo you need my help?â
Lin Ziran looked at him silently.
Mu Yang muttered something under his breath. With his hands behind his back, he said in a serious tone: âAunt Mu is worried that you will be bullied outside, so she asked me if there is any way I can help you in your cultivation.â
Lin Ziran: âŚI donât believe him.
Mu Yang paused after speaking, his eyes lighting up, as if he thought this was a good idea and said to Lin Ziran: âWait for me.â He turned around and left in a hurry.
Lin Ziran:âŚ
Wait, why did he feel an ominous premonition?
Lin Ziran came to Mu Yazhuâs room, hesitated for a while, but couldnât resist curiosity and asked, âMother, what did you say to Muyang?â
Muya Zhuyun smiled lightly: âNothing much, I just ask him to take good care of you.â
Lin Ziran: ââŚâ
Lin Ziran left Mu Yazhuâs room and paced back and forth in his room. He always felt as if things were not that simple, but Mu Yang looked very calm as if he really only wanted to help him with his cultivation. There was nothing strange about it⌠Did Mu Yazhu really ask him to take care of him?
At dusk, Mu Yang came again.
He knocked on the door. âAh Ye, open the door.â
Lin Ziran hurriedly went to open the door.
As soon as Mu Yang came in, he took Lin Ziranâs hand and returned to the room. His dark eyes were bright and dazzling. He raised his hand to take out the thick pile of cultivation books, spread it out in front of Lin Ziran, and said seriously: âHere, they are all the introductory cultivation techniques that I chose from the Jing Pavillion at home. See if you can use them.â
Lin Ziran suddenly felt his head hurt from looking at the pile of cultivation books. It was as if he had returned to the third year of high school and wanted to say loudly that it is useless! Itâs all useless! But under Muyangâs hopeful and encouraging gaze, he opened his mouth for a long time before he could only spit out one word: âOkay.â
Mu Yang smiled and said, âI know Aunt Mu must have taught you too, but her techniques may not be suitable for you. What if there is something suitable?â
Lin Ziran knew in his heart that none of this is suitable for him, but Mu Yangâs hospitality was difficult to refuse, not to mention Li Ye, who was actually very eager to become stronger. As long there was any hope, he would never give up, so he couldnât refuse⌠he showed a touch of gratitude, slowly and solemnly said: âThank youâŚâ
Mu Yang waved his hand and smiled brightly: âArenât we friends? You are welcome, let me explain it to youâŚâ
After that, he took out one of the books and began to explain to Lin Ziran from introduction to habits to exercise routes. He spoke very carefully, and his voice was like clear jade, gentle on the ears.
Lin Ziran looked at Mu Yangâs profile in a trance. Even if the beauty in front of him was a feast for the eyes, listening to the class was still the best form of hypnosis, especially for such boring contentâŚ
After a long time, he finally couldnât hold back his sleepiness, interrupted Mu Yang and said, âItâs getting late today. I will take care of the rest. If I donât understand, I will ask you again.â
Mu Yang looked at the sky outside, it was indeed late. So he pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes soft and warm: âOkay, I will come back tomorrow.â
Lin Ziran looked at him, seemingly âmovedâ: âokay.â
After finally sending Mu Yang away, Lin Ziran carefully closed the door and the window, only then did he show a painful expression. He glanced bitterly at the books and threw them aside.
He wonât read it!
These things are of no use to Li Ye. When Ye Liuyin finds him, he will teach him the inheritance of the demon. When that happens, he will ascend straight into the sky and cultivate into abig boss. Who wants to waste time doing these useless things?
Itâs better to sleep this time.
Lin Ziran slept well all night.
He slept until the next day and seemed to have heard the sound of stones hitting the windowâŚ
Rubbing his eyes, he opened the window to have a look: ââŚâ
Mu Yang wore a white robe today, his long black hair tight up. His handsome face was as bright as white jade and he had a sunny smile on his face.
Lin Ziran felt that this smile was a bit cold for the first timeâŚ
Heâs here! Heâs here!
Teacher Mu is here with his homework! The one-on-one make-up lesson is about to begin!
[Lin Ziranâs tone was sad: In fact, he doesnât have to be so good to meâŚ]
[System: Didnât you want to hold onto his thighs firmly? ]
[Lin Ziran: I think my mother might have pitted meâŚ]
[System: She is doing this for your own good. ]
[Lin Ziran:âŚsob. ]
[System: You say that you want credits, but canât overcome such a small problem, which makes me doubt your determination and perseverance. ]
[Lin Ziran:âŚ]
It even doubted my love and persistence for learning, this canât be tolerated! The stubborn student who was stabbed in the foot was very upset. Itâs not like he was incapable of overcoming such a little difficulty!
Lin Ziran looked at Mu Yang with a calm and determined expression!
Isnât it just pretending to study?
He can!
Mu Yang looked at him with a smile: âWhat did you try yesterday?â
Lin Ziran was silent for a moment, showing a look of loneliness, and said in a low voice, âI tried to practice according to the method you said, but after changing several ways, I still canât feel the slightest auraâŚâ
Seeing this, Mu Yang felt a little pained but quickly comforted him: âItâs okay, there are many introductory exercises from different factions, you can always try more.â
âToday we are going to look at this Frozen Cloud Flow TechniqueâŚâ Mu Yang took out another book and explained earnestly: âThis spell is suitable for water spiritual root cultivation. There are many people who practice in the Chiyan Immortal Realm. Although Itâs not a very advanced method, it is easy to get started and the threshold is low, so there are many people who practice thisâŚâ
Lin Ziran looked like he was listening carefully, but he didnât actually hear a single word. He could only stare at Mu Yangâs beautiful profile to pass the time.
Listen to him explain them, one by one.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was night. Mu Yang suddenly said to him: âI heard that if it is difficult to draw spiritual energy into the body due to physical reasons, a medicated bath will help.â
Lin Ziran was absent-minded: âOhâŚâ
Mu Yang was gone.
After finally finishing the dayâs course, Lin Ziran collapsed on the bed like a salted fishâŚ
When he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock again.
Lin Ziran had no choice but to get up and open the door with much difficulty. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mu Yang walking in with a big medicine bucket. He put the medicine bucket back on the ground with a bang.
Lin Ziran was dumbfounded.
Mu Yang looked at him solemnly and said, âTake off your clothes.â
Lin Ziran: ââŚâ
The two looked at each other.
Lin Ziran was a little embarrassed, but Mu Yangâs eyes were so clear and free of evil thoughts that he couldnât help but feel ashamedâŚ
His heart was too dirty.
[Lin Ziran: How embarrassed this makes meâŚ]
[system:âŚâŚ]
Looking at each other for a long while, Lin Ziran lost to Mu Yang in the end and turned around, obediently taking off his clothes.
The old dirty clothes fell on the ground. Lin Ziran uncomfortably tensed his body, revealing a thin and skeletal back, mottled with various scars and wounds, both new and oldâŚ
When Mu Yang saw this scene, his heart seemed to be dragged down by something heavy, and he couldnât breathe.
He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with pain but his voice was soft, âYou can go in.â
Lin Ziran was naked and embarrassed. He only dared to turn his back to Mu Yang, and cautiously crawled into the medicine bucket. The temperature was just right and very comfortable. Suddenly, he felt that it was actually quite good to have a bathâŚ
As his thoughts were running wildly, a warm palm was pressed against his shoulder and Mu Yang said in a deep voice, âI will find your body meridians. You must not resist later, otherwise, you might hurt yourself. Understand?â
After that, Mu Yang closed his eyes and frowned with a serious expression.
Lin Ziran didnât dare to move, not because of Mu Yangâs words, but because he suddenly realized that he seemed to beâŚ
Fortunately, the bath was too dark to see anything, otherwise, he could jump off the cliff from embarrassment today!
Lin Ziran was crying, he was still too impure.
The little beauty just wants to help him practice, but he coveted his beautyâŚ
Mu Yang sat cross-legged, closing his eyes tightly, not knowing Lin Ziranâs thoughts.
As time passed, the sweat on his forehead grew. He found that once his spiritual power entered Lin Ziranâs body, it would disappear like mud into the sea. Lin Ziranâs meridians were like black holes, no end to how much spiritual power he could absorb. In the end, nothing was left. This body⌠swept through and swallowed spiritual power fiercely, but was unable to store any spiritual power at all, so Lin Ziran was unable to cultivate and draw qi into his body.
Mu Yang had never seen this kind of situation before. He had been knowledgeable since he was a child, but he had never even heard of this physique, so he couldnât help but feel worried.
Could it be that he really canât help himâŚ
After half an hour, Mu Yang suddenly let go of his hand. His throat was bloody, but he forced it back down.
Lin Ziran looked back and found that Mu Yangâs face was pale and he was suddenly worried: âWhatâs the matter?â
Mu Yang smiled at him and said in a natural tone: âI just lost a bit of spiritual power, itâs okay, I just need to rest for a while⌠You should practice on your own first, I will see you in a few days.â
What, you wonât be coming for a few days?
Lin Ziran was overjoyed, but he wore a serious expression on his face, âI will practice hard.â
Mu Yang nodded and turned to leave, walking with an imperceptible rush.
He walked out of here quickly, coming to a deserted alley. In a flash, he vomited blood out and frowned.
Lin Ziranâs physique was too special. If he hadnât let him test him without any defense today, he was afraid he wouldnât be able to discover the problemâŚ
What was the problemâŚâŚ
If he really was born with a useless vein, how could it devour spiritual power?
But, why canât he cultivate?
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
Lin Ziran didnât know this, he only knew that after Teacher Mu had left him his homework, he told him that he would not be coming for a few days!
Awesome!
Lin Ziran immediately left Chongzhou City with a bamboo basket on his back.
As long as he left home and pretended to find a quiet place to practice, who knows if he had practiced yet? Perfect!
Speaking of being busy with cultivating these few days, when Teacher Mu was giving him lectures and baths, Lin Ziran didnât have time to go to this orchard and he didnât know what happened to the blind manâŚ
Lin Ziran quickened his pace. He jumped dexterously along the mountains, and soon came to the entrance of the cave.
He opened the curtain of the hole and walked in.
He saw that the blind man was still lying in the same spot, exactly the same as before he leftâŚbut the food in his hand was less. It seemed that he had eaten the fruit he had left for him.
Lin Ziran showed a relieved look. In short, he didnât want the man to eat the mouse raw, he didnât want to see anything that could hurt his eyesâŚ
The pheasants in the yard were alive and kicking, and the fruits and vegetables were growing well.
Lin Ziran had been listening to lessons the past two days and felt like he was nearly wasting away. He felt that he needed to recover, so he caught a chicken from the chicken coop, plucked its feathers, and bled it to make a roast chicken.
Under the guidance of the system, it was a success!
Lin Ziran tore the roast chicken in half and put half beside the blind man.
He found a pattern recently. This blind man never ate in front of him. He was like a dead person all day long, but once he left, he will eat, so he didnât need to worry about it.
With that, Lin Ziran said: âThis roast chicken is cooked and edible.â
Then Lin Ziran ignored him, eating the hot and delicious roast chicken. There were fresh and plump fruits beside it, the taste was delicious⌠This place was still the most relaxing
After eating and drinking, he fell down and slept again.
It was almost dark when he woke up.
Lin Ziran glanced at the blind man, suddenly sighed, patted his face, and sighed: âYour life is really lucky to actually survive this long. Fortunately, you met me. If you are a bad person, I would have already thrown you out from hereâŚâ
Thinking of how he had eaten so much of his own food, Lin Ziran said with a heartache: âI donât expect you to repay me since you are like this. If you really want to repay me, you can live a long life so that the food I spent on you is not wasted.â
But⌠Lin Ziran paused.
Ordinary people who are blind, deaf, and mute and donât have legs surely donât want to live, right? This is simply not as good as death, but after some thought, this blind man should not want to die since he even eats mice. Most likely, he still wants to live, and helping him shouldnât be considered nosy.
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
Mu Yang hadnât come here for the past few days. Lin Ziran went to the orchard early every day, wandering around until night before returning home.
In his rare free time, in addition to picking fruits, raising chickens and growing vegetables, Lin Ziran began to study cooking. The various food, seasonings and kitchen utensils in the cave became more and more diverse. After all, this place was no better than the previous world. If one wants to live comfortably, they have to learn to do it themselves! If one wants to eat well, they must learn to cook!
At first, he was a little frantic, but after finding joy in cooking, Lin Ziran was very interested.

Although it failed most of the time⌠but as long as he puts food beside the blind man, he will finish it by the next day.
Therefore, Lin Ziran became more pleased, and felt that his decision to save him was correct!
After all, the dishes he cookedâŚwell, even dogs wonât eat it.
The success of the roast chicken was purely accidental.
But the blind man was never picky about what he ate and didnât waste any food at allâŚ
As if his cooking was really delicious, it gave him a sense of accomplishment and joy. Lin Ziran also became more enthusiastic about cooking, and his cooking slowly improvedâŚ
The happy and leisurely days passed quickly.
Lin Ziran returned home from the orchard on this day and saw Mu Yang waiting for him at his house.
He immediately became terrified. His teacher had come to inspect his homework!
Seeing Lin Ziran return, Mu Yang smiled at him, his eyes bright and clear. âYouâre back.â
Lin Ziran nodded, seemingly embarrassed: âHave you been waiting for a long time?â
âNo, I just dropped by for a while.â Mu Yang smiled and shook his head. He paused and then questioned: âYour cultivationâŚhas progressed?â
Lin Ziran had been waiting for Mu Yang to ask! He lowered his eyes slightly and seemed to be disappointed, âNo.â
Mu Yang was not surprised.
In addition to recuperating, he had also consulted many books these days, and even asked his father, but to no avail. In the end, his father persuaded him to drop this matter.
But Mu Yang was not willing. He sawLin Ziranâs disappointed and lonely expression, as if he could feel his pain and helplessness.
He was born humble and with a useless vein that made everyone laugh at him and insult himâŚ
He must want to cultivate and become stronger than anyone else, but fate was too unfair to him.
Mu Yang wanted to help Lin Ziran very much, but he had to recognise his powerlessness. So what if he was the Young City Lord?
He canât help it.
At least, he had no way hereâŚ
Chongzhou City was only one of the ninety-nine cities in the Chiyan Immortal Realm. It was located in a remote area that lacked resources. For many years, there had not been any decent powerful figures and there were only a handful of people who were worthy to pray in the Holy Palace.
If he had no way here⌠can he do it at the Holy Palace?
As the most sacred place of the Chiyan Immortal Realm, the holy palace was like a cloud, where the most complete high-level inheritance, all-inclusive cultivation techniques, and strange secrets could be foundâŚIt was the road to heaven that everyone yearned for.
Mu Yang thought solemnly and pursed his lips tightly.
Maybe the problem that stumped him here can be solved there?
Seeing Mu Yangâs expression, Lin Ziran knew that he felt sorry for not being able to help him. This man was a kind little angel, but it wasnât his fault he was born with such a physique. Not only Mu Yang had trouble dealing with it, it would be difficult even for Xuan Yan to change his fate.
Lin Ziran couldnât bear to see Mu Yang feeling sorry for him, and comforted him: âIt doesnât matter.â
Mu Yang raised his head and looked at him.
Lin Ziran gave him a faint smile, his dark eyes deep, as he calmly said: âIâm used to it, so it doesnât matter.â
Mu Yangâs hand suddenly clenched. He looked into Lin Ziranâs eyes and thought, you are obviously sad and disappointed, yet you still want to comfort meâŚ
No, I will not give in to fate so easily.
Mu Yang let out a sigh. He suddenly smiled and said, âIn half a month, I will go for the selection at the Holy Palace.â
Lin Ziran knew about this. By then, Muyang will not only be selected to enter the Holy Palace with his amazing talent, but will also bring Li Ye with him. After they go to the Holy Palace, the powerful figures from all sides will appear on the stage, and the main story will then begin.
But he shouldnât know about this yet.
Lin Ziran seemed to be a little confused, and was silent for a long time with a rigid face. He finally said dumbly, âYouâll definitely be selected.â
Mu Yang said, âActually, I donât really want to go.â
Lin Ziran looked at him in shock, his expression changing. What? Mu Yang didnât want to go to the holy palace?
Thatâs impossible! This wasnât written in the plot, if you donât go to the holy palace, how can you develop your mentorship relationship further with XuanyanâŚ
Seeing Lin Ziranâs surprise, Mu Yang couldnât help but raise his lips and smile. This was the first time he had seen such a clear expression on Lin Ziranâs face. He was young but reserved. No matter what happened, he wouldnât cry, laugh, or feel pain. It turns out that he could also be so surprised. Looks likeâŚ
âFather has high hopes for me, and everyone wants me to goâŚâ Mu Yang twitched the corner of his lips lightly. He was looking at Lin Ziran, his voice a little helpless: âBut in factâŚI donât have that kind of ambition. I just want to stay here. There is everything I know, my relatives⌠and friendsâŚâ
When Mu Yang said the word friend, he looked at Lin Ziran silently.
If he left, then as Mu Yazhu said, no one could protect him.
Lin Ziran listened without saying a word, his expression seemed very calm.
[Actually, he was wailing, like this: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong again? Why doesnât he want to go to the Holy Palace? This is not okay! ! ! ]
[system:âŚâŚ]
No, he has to save the plot.
Lin Ziran took a deep breath and slowly said, âI think you should go.â
Mu Yang looked at him, his eyes burning: âWhy? Do you want me to leave?â
Child, what are you saying? You donât have to leave me behind when you go to the Holy Palace, you can just take me with you! But Lin Ziran couldnât say this. He just pursed his lips and said softly: âI donât want you to leave, butâŚI think you should go, your talent shouldnât be wasted.â
Mu Yang looked directly into Lin Ziranâs eyes filled with persistence and earnesty.
You didnât want me to stay, even if you knew that me staying was the best choice for youâŚ
You still let me go without hesitation.
You want me to fly higher and farther, and not be confined to this small corner⌠But, I canât leave you here alone.
Mu Yangâs thoughts gradually became firmer, he smiled at Lin Ziran, and said softly: âI didnât want to go⌠but now, I have changed my mind.â
Lin Ziran was stunned. I beg you to be more straightforward, okay? I was almost scared to death, you know!
Mu Yang suddenly approached him. He stared into his eyes with burning fervor, and said, âGo with me, okay?â
That place held the best learning environment, supreme inheritance⌠As long as we go there together, we will definitely be able to think of a way!
Lin Ziran was touched.It was really a turn of events, but the plot was still here! Thatâs right, Muyang will ask Li Ye to go with him, and as good brothers, they will stay together for life!
Lin Ziran couldnât wait to agree to it right away, but recalling that he still had a mother to take care of, he silently shook his head and said, âI canât go with you, my motherâŚâ
âYeâer.â Mu Yazhu stood not far away.
He didnât know when she had come out, and didnât know how long she had been listening for.
Lin Ziran: âMotherâŚâ
Mu Yazhu came forward slowly. She looked at him tenderly and reluctantly, raised her hand and gently brushed aside her childâs hair, as if thousands of thoughts passed through her mind, and finally, she said: âYou and Muyang should go.â
Lin Ziranâs expression changed drastically and his voice was filled with anxiety: âBut I canât leave you aloneâŚâ
Mu Yazhu smiled slightly, her eyes soft and gentle. âI know Yeâer is worried about me, but donât worry, I will be fine, I can take care of myself⌠and Muyang will also make arrangements, right?â
Mu Yang immediately said: âYes, I will find someone to take care of Aunt Mu and ensure that she has nothing to worry about, so you donât have to worry about it.â
Lin Ziran still hesitated: âBut IâŚâ
Mu Yazhu lowered her eyes and withdrew her reluctant gaze. She said to Lin Ziran: âMom hopes for you to go, and I hope you can see the world outside, instead of being trapped here forever. You shouldnât be stuck hereâŚâ
âSo, go. â
My child, maybe only by leaving here, can you find where you really belongâŚ
There was a struggle in Lin Ziranâs eyes, and it seemed very difficult for him to make a decision.
Although there was reluctance to leave, there was also a yearning for the outside world, as well as curiosity and anxiety about a strange worldâŚ
At this time, Mu Yang gently shook his hand and said: âI will always be with you.â
Lin Ziranâs eyes were moist, and it took a long time before he slowly nodded.
This little angel is really a good brother. What a touching brotherhood is this!
Donât worry, since you treat me as your brother, I will treat you as my sister. Our love is more solid than gold. When we go to the holy palace in the future, I will do my best for you and Xuanyan to get married!
Mu Yang looked at Lin Ziran with a smile, his eyes were firm and decisive. He slowly tightened his hands, and spoke in his heart.
Even if one day, Mu Yazhu is gone, I will still be here⌠I wonât let go of your hand.
