Chu Junyu glanced at him, then lowered his head: "Let me help you take a look."

Pei Jing secretly pinched his arm to make a red mark, rolled up his sleeves, and said pitifully: "Look, it's all red from the fall, it hurts so much."

Chu Junyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that he remained silent, Pei Jing had the idea of teasing him and said jokingly, "So do you want to help your savior blow it?"

He just wanted to distract Chu Junyu's attention, but he didn't expect that after Chu Junyu was stunned for a while, he really reached out, grabbed his wrist and pulled it over, lowered his eyes, and blew a breath.

Chu Junyu's hands were very cold, and Pei Jing shuddered at the first touch.

The breath slowly brushed over his skin, and he was dumbfounded, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this kid... ... doesn't play by the rules.

"Hahaha, stop blowing, it's itchy. I'm just teasing you."

After hearing this, Chu Junyu withdrew his hand with a cold expression.

The ghost on the wall of the well had already crawled out half of its body. It looked like a child who had drowned in the well. It had no hair, a swollen face, and a pale face except for its eye sockets. It opened its mouth and grinned at Pei Jing. The ghost child had no teeth and no tongue, which was quite eerie.

Pei Jing pressed Chu Junyu's shoulder and said in a fake voice, "Let me hold you for a while."

Then, where Chu Junyu couldn't see, he quickly drew a bloody talisman with his fingers and stuck it on the well ghost's face through the air.

The ghost baby screamed in fear and shrank back. The poisonous snake also sensed the danger and its tail was raised in fear. It curled up in a corner and trembled.

Seeing that they were quiet, Pei Jing straightened his upper body, sat up straight, leaned against the wall, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have to spend the night here."

Chu Junyu pretended to ask casually: "Do you regret it?"

Pei Jing: “Hmm?”

Chu Junyu looked straight at him, his eyes like light-colored glass, pure and cold.

"You knew they were no match for me, so you sent them away; you knew I would get hurt if I fell, so you followed me down to protect me. But there's no need for that. I won't kill them, and I won't die if I fall. All the injuries you're suffering now are in vain."

Pei Jing: “… …” I laughed out of anger. This kid really can’t speak.

He really wanted to hit him with a hammer, but with his current status, he could only look at a loss, scratch his head with a dry laugh, and said, "Ah? I didn't think so much at the time. I jumped down with you in a moment of excitement."

Chu Junyu's lips curled up into a smile very slowly, with sarcasm and indifference: "When can you stop being so reckless and kind?"

His sarcastic mood faded quickly, and even his smile was fleeting. He turned his head away, and became his usual aloof and indifferent look again, with his light-colored eyes staring ahead, and no one knew what he was looking at.

Pei Jing: “…”

This is really the child with the strangest personality he has ever seen. This kid's values are indeed not very correct and he needs to hone them.

Let’s wait and see who influences who first.

The two young men sat side by side at the bottom of the well. Pei Jing spoke first: "Don't blame me. I actually wanted to ask you something. When that man was about to fall off the suspension bridge, you stretched out your hand and pulled him back. Why didn't you help him?"

Chu Junyu answered quickly: "I don't want to help."

Pei Jingyu choked and touched his nose: "... OK."

As the temporary leader, it is time to carry forward Yunxiao's spirit of saving the dying and the wounded, and slaying demons and monsters among the new disciples.

Pei Jing tried to convince him with reason: "Have you ever thought that if you help him and let him enter the sky, he might bring you a lot of opportunities in the future. After all, the world of cultivation emphasizes cause and effect."

Chu Junyu laughed and said, "You really overestimate him. With a person like him who has three spiritual roots, I am embarrassed to step into the world of cultivation. I am afraid that the opportunities he can bring will be like chicken ribs."

Pei Jing heard his arrogant tone and really wanted to beat him up to make him see that there are people out there. However, after losing the identity of Zhang Yiming, it would be difficult for him to sneak around Chu Junyu quietly in the future.

In order to maintain his image, he has to endure it.

Pei Jing managed a smile with difficulty and said happily: "Ah, so that's how it is. So you carried me on your back because you saw that I have a unique talent and will become a great man?"

Chu Junyu didn't say anything, closed his eyes, and seemed to want to sleep.

Pei Jing smiled wryly: "Thank you again for saving me and appreciating me."

Chu Junyu said impatiently: "Shut up."

Pei Jing couldn't believe it: "Come on, if you can sleep here, aren't you afraid that something will suddenly jump out of the well? Like a ghost or a snake."

Chu Junyu was annoyed by the noise, opened his eyes, turned around, and covered Pei Jing's mouth with his hand.

No one had dared to approach Pei Jing for a hundred years, but now he was touched. The moment his mouth touched the cold palm, he was stunned.

Under the moonlight, the young man in black had a pair of extremely pure light-colored glass eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all appearances when he looked at people. He half-leaned over, looking down at Pei Jing, and warned him coldly: "You are the only one who is afraid of snakes."

Sooner or later Pei Jing would get sick from his anger.

What do you mean you are the only one afraid of snakes? Brother Pei is not afraid of anything except snakes. You little brat, do you know how to respect others

But he did not harass Chu Junyu afterwards.

He could sense that Chu Junyu was really tired. The tiredness was very strange, like someone who had not slept for hundreds of years and was feeling sleepy at this moment.

The bright moonlight shone into the dry well. The young man in black clothes had a face as pale as snow. He closed his eyes, and his eyelashes cast shadows on his face, giving him a kind of cold and noble beauty.

The young man in brown clothes next to him looked bored. He put his hands behind his head and stared at the sky outside the well in a daze.

He realized it later and reacted - No? How did Chu Junyu know that he was afraid of snakes? This was too embarrassing. Only his master knew about it. Was it just a blind guess
