Chapter 4: Senior Brother, Help Me

Although Shen Wangchen was cold and aloof, he had never punished his disciples.

This was the first time in his life.

Mu Yunqing sighed, compared to what Su Jiu had done, Master’s punishment was too light.

Seeing that Su Jiu was still dizzy, Mu Yunqing had to answer for her, “Master, I’ll take Junior Sister out now.”

Shen Wangchen coldly said, “You are the senior brother, yet you didn’t do anything, you kneel too.”

Mu Yunqing chuckled wryly, but he didn’t feel wronged. As the senior brother, he should take care of his junior brothers and sisters. Today’s incident was indeed his fault for not stopping his junior sister in time, so he simply agreed, bowed, and said goodbye to Cang Qiansxue, then pulled Su Jiu out.

Su Jiu was already a little dizzy.

“Wine, I drank…”

【They, they won’t have any reason to kill me anymore, right?】

Cang Qiansxue and Shen Wangchen only managed to hear this sentence, and as Su Jiu and Mu Yunqing disappeared from their sight, the voice stopped abruptly.

Cang Qiansxue propped his elbow on the table, his fingers twirling the wine cup, and looked at Shen Wangchen.

Shen Wangchen also looked at him with a serious expression.

“You heard your female disciple’s thoughts just now, didn’t you?”

Cang Qiansxue had been paying attention to everyone’s expressions, although Shen Wangchen’s expression hadn’t changed much, Cang Qiansxue knew that he could also hear Su Jiu’s thoughts.

Shen Wangchen pursed his lips, didn’t answer, remained silent for a moment, then said, “This is strange, don’t tell anyone about it.”

Although Su Jiu’s behavior today was very different from usual, Shen Wangchen still subconsciously wanted to protect her.

After all, she was his disciple.

Cang Qiansxue smiled, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of warm tea, and said, “Of course. Since there’s no wine today, why not have tea instead?”

Shen Wangchen naturally wouldn’t refuse him, he picked up the wine cup and poured himself a cup too, took a sip, then remembered that it was the cup Su Jiu had just used, his movements froze.

Outside Budo Hall,

Mu Yunqing pulled Su Jiu to kneel down.

The half jar of wine had already gotten Su Jiu drunk.

Her cheeks were flushed, she was wearing Mu Yunqing’s clothes, and she was kneeling, but it looked more like she was lying on the ground, humming softly.

Her black hair was scattered over her back, like a blooming flower.

Mu Yunqing looked at her like this, and couldn’t help but sigh again, but at the same time, he felt a secret sense of nostalgia.

After Su Jiu was brought to Budo Hall by Shen Wangchen, she was weak and sickly for the first few years, and Shen Wangchen took care of her, even sleeping with her at night.

Later, when she grew up and her body recovered, Shen Wangchen handed her over to Mu Yunqing.

Compared to Shen Wangchen, who was taciturn and cold, Mu Yunqing was much kinder, always with a warm and smiling face, so Su Jiu wasn’t afraid of him, and after getting familiar with him, she would often act spoiled and mischievous.

But later, when she grew up a little more, she became a graceful and beautiful young woman, and she had her own girlish thoughts, so her personality gradually became more stable, and she was no longer as close to Mu Yunqing as before.

Seeing Su Jiu lying on the ground humming and groaning like this again, Mu Yunqing felt as if he had gone back to when she was little, when she had just come to him, she had eaten too much and her stomach was full, and she had also been lying like this, asking him to rub her stomach.

Mu Yunqing couldn’t help but smile slightly, and he couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch the top of Su Jiu’s head, rubbing it, and said with a hint of helplessness, “I told you not to drink a whole jar of wine, Master didn’t punish you to kneel on the mountain today, he’s already very merciful.”

It was fortunate that Uncle Master Cang was kind and didn’t get angry when Su Jiu drank all the wine he had specially reserved for him.

Seeing that Su Jiu was still lying on the ground, drunk, Mu Yunqing was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after drinking so much, so he beckoned a disciple to help him boil a cup of sobering tea from the kitchen.

Although it wouldn’t have much effect, it could at least suppress some of the discomfort and prevent her from feeling uncomfortable and crying later.

After drinking a whole jar of wine, Su Jiu felt dizzy and her mind was blank.

However, amidst the confusion, a secret, indescribable feeling arose from the depths of her body.

“Hot…”

Su Jiu hummed, her upper body completely slumped down, trying to press her cheek against the cool ground.

But the coolness wasn’t enough.

Not only was it not enough, but it was like a spark falling into a pile of straw, instantly igniting the subtle heat that had been lurking in her body.

The scorching heat surged through her body like a tidal wave, wherever it passed, a raging fire ignited, and in the blink of an eye, Su Jiu was burning from head to toe.

Her already hazy mind was completely burned away, Su Jiu had forgotten who she was, and she had forgotten where she was.

She lay on the ground, but the coolness of the ground wasn’t enough, so she sat up again, her fingers fumbling to remove the clothes she was wearing, her lips letting out a series of rapid gasps, following her instincts, she leaned towards the left.

Mu Yunqing had just taken the sobering tea and dismissed the disciple.

It wouldn’t be decent for them to see the senior brother and junior sister kneeling together at the entrance of the hall, being punished.

The disciple disappeared down the steps, and Mu Yunqing picked up the sobering tea, blew on it gently, turned his head and said, “Junior Sister, drink some…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, Mu Yunqing’s movements froze, he didn’t even notice that half of the tea in his hand had spilled.

The girl kneeling beside him, her hair was disheveled, her beautiful and fair face was covered with a blush, her eyes were misty, as if they were unfocused, she looked at him blankly, her eyes were wet with a touch of red.

Her lips, which were bitten almost to the point of bleeding, trembled slightly as she opened them, and her voice trembled with a sob, “Senior Brother, I, I feel so uncomfortable…”

Mu Yunqing thought she was just starting to act crazy from drinking, so he quickly looked away, dismissing the strange feeling in his heart, he steadied his arm and said, “You’re drunk, it’s normal to feel uncomfortable. Come on, drink this bowl of sobering tea, you’ll feel better after drinking it. Be good.”

Unconsciously, he used the tone he used to coax Su Jiu before.

Su Jiu’s gaze fell on the sobering tea in his hand, her remaining rationality made her shake her head.

“No,”

She remembered that she had drunk the Hundred Day Brew with “Three Days of Beauty” in it.

This sobering tea wouldn’t do anything for her.

The “Three Days of Beauty” had no cure, unless…

“Senior Brother, help me.” Su Jiu crawled over on her knees, grabbed Mu Yunqing’s hand, raised her fiery red and delicate face, her moist eyes looked at Mu Yunqing pitifully, as if begging, she kept pressing her cheek against his cool back of the hand, her voice was low and soft.

The scorching heat of her body startled Mu Yunqing.

He finally realized something was wrong.
