Hearing this, Shen Yuehan's eyes seemed to condense slightly, and the eyes he looked at Lin Xi gradually became deeper. When the softness and plainness disappeared, the vast and boundless starry sky emerged.
Even Lin Xi, under the sight of the master at this moment, his body tensed slightly, feeling a huge pressure, but his face remained cold, like a piece of flawless ice.
"How did you know?" Shen Yuehan calmed down and asked.
Such words meant that he did not intend to hide anything from Lin Xi anymore.
Lin Xi's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of shock. Obviously she had guessed this possibility, but she was not 100% sure. It was not until Shen Yuehan asked back at this moment that it was proved that this was not a guess, but a fact.
"It was the dragon princess who told me." Lin Xi took a deep breath to calm down her turbulent heart, "She said that Mu Xi is a 'death body' and is destined to disappear in an abnormal way. It's normal before the age of eighteen. Once you're over eighteen, you may die due to some kind of accident every day."
By the end of her words, Lin Xi had clenched her teeth slightly, pursed her red lips tightly, and the look on her always cold face had changed.
Because not long after, it will be Wen Muxi's eighteenth birthday.
And when the time comes, it will be the day when his so-called fatal constitution attacks, and he has to worry about accidents all the time, and the slightest carelessness will be the outcome of death.
Just imagining such a day was so despairing, how could he bear it?
Shen Yuehan said: "What else did she say?"
"She said she had a way to delay Mu Xi's onset of the fatal disease." Lin Xi regained her composure, "Master also knew about it, right? That's why he left his junior brother with the Dragon Clan."
This was also the reason why she knew that Master had not brought her junior brother back and did not question him.
Delaying the onset of terminal illness is prolonging Wen Muxi's life and is a life-saving method. How could she ignore his life and death because of her personal emotions?
"But in the end, it's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause." Shen Yuehan said calmly.
Lin Xi's expression changed slightly: "Isn't it possible that even Master can't do anything?"
She thought that Master left Junior Brother in the Dragon Clan in order to get more time to find a way to completely cure Junior Brother, but this sentence... Master was actually helpless?
Shen Yuehan shook his head: "As a teacher, of course there are ways."
"Master has been found?"
Having found it and knowing where it is are two completely different concepts.
"Um."
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "Then why don't you cure your junior brother quickly? This way, there is no need for the Dragon Clan's slowing down method, and you can owe one less favor."
Of course, what she was most worried about was that the Dragon Clan would take this as a condition, just as the Dragon Clan Princess said, she wanted to marry Wen Muxi as her husband. Even though she knew that Mu Xi would definitely not agree, it was still a trouble.
Shen Yuehan knew what she was thinking at a glance: "It's not time yet."
In this case, Lin Xi couldn't say anything else, and just said: "If Master needs me, be sure to tell his disciples."
"No." Shen Yuehan shook his head and said softly, "I just hope you don't blame me."
"How could the disciple blame the master?" Lin Xi frowned slightly, puzzled.
"Follow me."
After the words fell, the two of them appeared in the air the next moment. Looking down, they saw lush flowers and trees, and a young man squatting on the ground, reaching out and touching the flowers. This was originally an extremely beautiful picture, but There is a look of frustration and loss on the young man's face that cannot be concealed, which makes people feel pity. How can one appreciate this beautiful scenery?
Only Lin Xi did not feel pity or appreciate the beauty. The moment she saw Mo Jiu's face, shock filled her heart and she completely lost her peace: "Master, what is this?!"
She was almost lost for a moment, and then before Shen Yuehan could speak, she angrily said, "Is this what Master is going to do? Find a replacement for Mu Xi? Then you can ignore his life or death?"
Shen Yuehan's face darkened: "Presumptuous!"
Her voice was like thunder, blasting in Lin Xi's ears, causing her to instantly regain her composure, her face became extremely pale, and she felt an indescribable palpitations.
"In your eyes, is this the kind of person I am as a teacher?" Shen Yuehan's voice was colder and harsher than ever before.
She is not a gentle person. Gentleness and elegance are just the temperament given to her by calligraphy and painting. In fact, as one of the strongest people in the world, how could she not have her own unique power?
Lin Xi lowered his head: "Master, I was wrong."
Shen Yuehan's expression did not soften, so did Cheng Caixuan, and so did Lin Xi. Did a man actually make them lose even their most basic composure?
Even though this man was her disciple, Shen Yuehan slightly felt something was wrong, but it was fleeting.
After all, even she has unspeakable feelings for this disciple...
There seemed to be a hint of heat on Shen Yuehan's cheeks, and his cold expression finally softened, but his face remained sullen.
"Death-defying body, what is destiny? That's why God wants to kill you. It is said to be a constitution, but in fact it is a destined future. Even if you are lucky enough to escape for a few days, who knows that this is not a part of fate? You can't escape it after all. Destined death is fate and destiny." Shen Yuehan said slowly, "And how can one escape fate, so even the Dragon Clan's method of slowing it down only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The only solution is To hide it from the sky and across the sea..."
For the last two words, Shen Yuehan suddenly silenced his voice and only made shapes through his thin lips. Lin Xi could tell that they were two words - Tianji.
Lin Xi suddenly understood something: "Master wants to use him..."
Shen Yuehan nodded lightly and said nothing.
Lin Xi suddenly felt guilty. She could no longer maintain her cold expression, and a slight blush appeared on her face. She clasped her hands into fists and bowed slightly: "It's the disciple who wrongly blamed the master. Please punish the master!"
"It won't happen next time." Shen Yuehan dismissed the topic with one word.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Xi said softly.
The two masters and apprentices fell silent immediately, staring at Mo Jiu below for a long time, and then Lin Xi said: "Then the time Master said has not come yet?"
"If you want to hide the truth from the sky, you must first hide it from others. Otherwise, how can you deceive the sky?"
Lin Xi seemed to have some realization: "Master wants us to... regard him as Mu Xi?"
"That's not necessary." Shen Yuehan shook his head.
Lin Xi frowned, even her talent was confused at this moment.
"If the secret is too deep and too true, I'm afraid that the substitute will become the 'master' by then, so he can only be him." Shen Yuehan said lightly, "Let's just say he is Mu Xi's long-lost brother. Take him with you. Go get to know more of the disciples in the sect and communicate with them."
