Mo Ran didn't say anything for a long time, but the knot in his throat twitched slightly.

It was almost as if he was in a torrent of desire, clinging to a driftwood to keep himself from drowning, stumbling over the thought that

Respect and adoration for him.

Respect is the respect for love, love is the love for love, and must not be desecrated, must not be harmed, must not add extra feelings, and must not do anything as absurd and insulting to the Master as it was in the previous life.

After mumbling these words four or five times in his lava-boiling mind, Mo Ran barely managed to keep his composure and walked seemingly at ease into the room, greeting Chu Wanning with a smile.

"Master, so you're in there why don't you make a sound?"

"Just woke up." Chu Wanning said dryly.

Dry is really dry, the throat is also dry, the desire is also dry, if you are not careful to fall into a little fire, it can start a fire.

Mo Ran was holding a heavy five-ply bamboo lunch box in his hands. He tried to put it on the table, but when he glanced at it, it was full of files, drills, mortises and pins, and a mess of drawings. He had no choice but to carry the box to Chu Wanning's bedside.

Chu Wanning seemed to be getting up more than usual, looking at him with obvious agitation and frowning, "What are you doing?"

"Master woke up late and there was nothing left to eat in Mengpo Court, so I had nothing to do and made some myself to keep Master company for the morning."

At the top was a plate of sautéed wild mushrooms, then a plate of tender green lettuce, then at the bottom were silver silk rolls and sugar roots in honey sauce, and at the bottom were two bowls of crystal-full white rice and a bowl of asparagus and ham soup.

Two bowls of white rice

Chu Wanning was a bit speechless that he was such a big eater in Mo Ran's mind.

"The table is a bit messy, the Master is eating up in bed, or should I go and clear the table and bring the dishes over"

Chu Wanning, of course, doesn't like eating in bed, but at this point, with his lower body lust still intact and covered by the blanket, he was torn between his manners and his face and chose the latter.

"There's too much stuff on the table and it's going to take a long time to clean up, so let's eat here."

Mo Ran smiled and nodded, "Good."

I have to say that Mo Ran's cooking is very good, the dishes he made five years ago were already very tasty and five years later they are even more difficult to match. The mushrooms were straw mushrooms, the silver rolls were made with sweet potatoes instead of bean paste, the asparagus was made with tender tips, and the ham was half mixed with fat and lean, the colour was like a red haze in the sky.

Mo Ran never asked him about his tastes, but everything was just right, as if they had lived together for many years.

Chu Wanning eats comfortably, his chopsticks not stopping for a moment despite his calm demeanour, and when he finishes the last mouthful of soup, he looks up to see Mo Ran sitting on the edge of the bed, one foot on the wooden shelf of a nearby chair, one hand on his cheek, looking at him with a smirk.

"What's wrong" Chu Wanning subconsciously took out a hanky and wiped it, "is there something around your mouth"

"No." Mo Ran said, "I felt happy to see the Master eating."

"" Chu Wanning was a little uncomfortable, so he said lightly, "You make good food, just a little more rice, next time one bowl will be enough."

Mo Ran seemed to be about to say something, but in the end he held his tongue and grinned, revealing his teeth like braided shells.

"Hmm."

What a fool, so careful and cautious when it comes to important matters, but so lazy in life that he didn't even see two pairs of chopsticks at the bottom of the food box.

One person ate the amount of food for two people, and even told him that there was a bit too much rice and he was a bit full

The more Mo Ran thought about it, the funnier it became, and she couldn't help but gently hold her hand to the corner of her forehead, her eyelashes dropping and rustling.

"What are you laughing at again?"

"Nothing nothing." Mo Ran was afraid of hurting his face; he was the face of his master more than anything else, so of course he couldn't embarrass him, so he digressed, "Master, I suddenly remembered something that I forgot to tell you yesterday."

"What is it?"

"On my way back, I heard that Master Huai Zui had left the day before you left."

"Well, good."

"So you haven't seen him since you woke up, have you?"

"No."

Mo Ran sighed and said, "Then you can't blame your master for being rude. I heard people outside talking about your master's lack of manners earlier. But Master Huai Zui left first, so it is not like Master Huai Zui had to go to the Temple of No Mercy and kneel down outside to express his gratitude when he woke up. I'll let uncle mention it at tomorrow's morning meeting now that I've asked him about it."

Chu Wanning suddenly said, "No."

"Why?"

"The Master and I, we have long been at war." Chu Wanning said, "Even if he were still there when I woke up, I would not thank him."

Mo Ran froze for a moment, "Why is that? I know that my master was expelled from the temple and that he is no longer tied to Master Huai Zui, but it is not as if he came to his aid in his time of need."

Before I could finish my sentence, Chu Wanning cut me off: "I can't talk about my affairs with him, and I don't want to talk about them. If people say that I have no conscience, that I am cold-blooded and heartless, then let them be. It's clearly the truth."

Mo Ran got anxious: "How is that the truth? You're obviously not like that."

Chu Wanning looked up abruptly, his face suddenly cold, as if dragon had been touched and blood was flowing.

" Mo Ran ." He suddenly said, " How much more do you know about me "

"I"

He looked into Chu Wanning's shining eyes, where the frost was so cold that he could not let go of his guard, always holding back the plateau of the city.

I know, I know many things about you, I know them all, even if some of your past, some once I do not know, I am willing to listen, willing to share with you. You should not always hide everything in your heart, fall on overlapping locks, build layers of barriers, don't you get tired?

But what position did he have to say that.

He is a disciple under his seat and must not be disobeyed or disobeyed.

Mo Ran is ultimately speechless.

After a long silence, Chu Wanning's body, which was as tense as a bowstring, finally relaxed, and he seemed to be a little tired. Don't mention the matter of Master Huai Zui to me again. Go out, I want to change my clothes."

"Yes." Mo Ran hung her head and silently packed up her food box, and as she walked to the door, she suddenly said, "Master, you're not angry with me, are you?"

Chu Wanning glared at him, "What am I mad at you for?"

Mo Ran Zhan Yan smiled, "That's good, that's good. So can I come back tomorrow?"

"As you wish."

After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and added, "You don't have to tell me I'm coming in like that in the future."

Mo Ran froze: "Why?"

"You're in, you're in, it's not a crap shoot." Chu Wanning was angry again, not sure if it was at Mo Ran's untimely innocence or at her own red face for not fighting it.

Only when Mo Ran had left in a daze did Chu Wanning get out of bed, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and walk barefoot to the bookcase, where he took out a scroll of bamboo slips. He unrolled it with a clatter and stared at the writing on it, his eyes obscure and speechless for a long time.

This bamboo slip was placed by Huai Zui's pillow when he left. It has a secret spell on it, so that only Chu Wanning could open it himself. The handwriting on it is neat and tidy, and reads 'From Master Chu himself'.

His mentor, Master Chu, was his teacher.

It's ridiculous.

The letter is not too long, but rather short, and tells of some things that Chu Wanning needs to take care of when he wakes up, and spends most of the letter 'asking' him for one thing.

Master Huai Zui asks him to meet him at Dragon Blood Mountain near the Temple of No Mercy when he has regained his strength, saying that he is old and feels that his days are numbered and that he feels tormented and guilty when he thinks of his past.

"Before I pass away, I would like to talk to you for a while. You are still suffering from an old illness, and I have heard that you need to close down for ten days every seven years due to this old illness. If you are willing to come to Dragon Blood Mountain, we can set up a spell to heal you. However, the spell is very dangerous and you will need to bring a disciple of both wood and fire to accompany the spirit."

Old Illness Dragon Blood Mountain

Chu Wanning's brow furrowed and his fingers almost sunk into his palm.

How can you heal what was destroyed, what was lost, how can you restore what was lost in those 164 days on Dragon Blood Mountain?

Is Huai Zui as good as Tongtian, and can he fill in the sores of the wood?

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden light rose in his palm, and the sturdy Xiang Fei bamboo book shattered to pieces in his fingers in an instant, and flew away in smoke.

He will never set foot in the Temple of No Mercy again in his life.

Nor will he ever call Huai Zui a master again.

Four days after Chu Wanning's departure, Xue Zhengyong called him to the Loyalty Palace and handed him a letter of mandate. When he opened it, he saw a few simple sentences in it.

Chu Wanning lifted his eyes and said, "Give it to the wrong person."

"What?" Xue Zhengyong said as he brought the letter and read it again for himself, "It's not wrong."

"" Chu Wanning narrowed his eyes, "It says here, helping the villagers of Yuliang Village with their farming."

"You wouldn't?"

""

Xue Zhengyong's eyes widened: "You really don't know how to do that?"

Chu Wanning was a little embarrassed by his question, so he snapped, "There's nothing more normal than that, something about getting rid of demons and exorcising evil spirits."

Xue Zhengyong said, "It's been relatively peaceful lately, there are no evil spirits anywhere. Anyway, Mo Ran is coming with you, so you can sit back and relax and let him do the hard work.

Chu Wanning's dark brow furrowed deeply: "Since when does the top of death and life take on such trivialities?"

"Wuchang Town: Shi Mei is the one who brings down Wang's cat when it climbs up a tree and can't get down. It's just that we used to have more difficult things to do, so we don't bother you with the simple ones." Xue Zhengyong said, "You've only recently woken up, so I was going to let someone else do it, but I don't think you'll be able to stay idle."

"Then I don't want to cut the rice either." Chu Wanning changed his tone so that he didn't say "can't cut rice".

Xue Zhengyong said, "I've told you to let Mo Ran help you, so just take a walk."

"I can't take a break and walk without taking a mission."

"That's true." Xue Zhengyong scratched his head, "But Yuliang Village is close to Butterfly Town, and Mo Ran is the one who patched the sky leak in that area, he's not as good as you after all, so why don't you drop by and see if anything needs reinforcing."

It was only when he said this that Chu Wanning finally felt the need to go, so without further ado, he took the letter of entrustment and turned around and left the Loyalty Palace.
