It’s Not Easy Being a Master

Chapter 22: Guilt

Views:

Shen Zhixian leaned on the back of the bed and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

His face was as white as a piece of paper, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye was particularly red. His collar was torn up because of the severe coughing just now, revealing a section of his collarbone, with a delicate curvature, and his complexion as white as porcelain.

The whole person reveals a tired and morbid beauty.

Yan Jin stood beside the couch in a daze, not daring to make a sound to startle him for a moment.

A piece of plain white wrist hanging by the side of the bed moved, and the jade strings wrapped around the wrist made a slight noise, and Yan Jin looked over subconsciously.

Shen Zhixian was already thin, but after a few days of tossing around, he lost a lot of weight. The jade string that he was wearing just now was a little bigger, and slipped onto the back of his hand, revealing a little skin that was previously covered by the jade string.

A little darker scar immediately attracted Yan Jin's attention.

… what is that

Shen Zhixian was injured on his wrist before? So you specially wear jade beads to block it

There are not many scars exposed, and it vaguely looks like an irregular shape, not a knife cut or a sword, and I don't know how the injury is. Yan Jin just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, knelt on one knee beside the couch, quietly. Looking at Shen Zhixian.

Shen Zhixian finally opened his eyes, lowered his eyes wearily, and met his gaze.

"… "

"… "

Liang Xiang was silent for a moment, before Shen Zhixian sighed and asked, "Have the people from Sanfeng been to Trial Mountain?"

Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Shen Zhixian meant.

The formation he changed in Trial Mountain has not been restored, and he has not been able to leave... Sanfeng is good at formation, if they find any clues, they will go deeper...

Shizun just woke up, are you thinking about this

Yan Jin was stunned and didn't answer, Shen Zhixian pretended he was worried and said with relief: "Don't worry, if you ask me, I will say that I did it for free. It's not a big deal, and the people in Sanfeng will not give Shishi this face. ."

He said too long in one breath, and then he was a little out of breath, coughed lightly, and pressed the itch in his throat.

This time, the heart attack is really a bit ruthless, even more ruthless than the previous one in the hot spring. He has been awake for so long, and now he is still very uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to take this opportunity to treat Yan Jin, he would have already wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep.

When Yan Jin heard his cough, he became nervous, and when he stood up, he was about to pour water for him.

Shen Zhixian had just drank a belly of elixir water and didn't want to drink any more, so he waved his hand weakly, frowned and coughed twice, then said tiredly: "I don't want to drink, I'm fine. You can go and rest."

He didn't mention a word about Yan Jin's calculations on the mountain of trials, and he didn't say much other than a few words and a few words to take responsibility for changing the formation.

Yan Jin felt that a needle passed through the thick wall of his heart and stabbed him hard in the heart.

For a moment, he only felt shameless to face Shen Zhixian.

The phantom that Shen Zhixian saw in the open space must be someone who was very important to him, and I don't know what they said, so that the emotions were so excited... and the turbulence of the teleportation array caused the heart attack again.

The culprit is him.

If he hadn't calculated Shen Zhixian and brought the two to an unknown realm, Shen Zhixian wouldn't have encountered so many things, causing him to be furious.

Yesterday, the fourth elder was still sighing, saying that this time Shen Zhixian almost didn’t make it through—since the hot spring’s illness, Shen Zhixian’s body wasn’t very good. One tossing in the sky is simply fatal.

But after Shizun woke up, not only did he not blame him, but he maintained him as always in front of the fourth elders, and even took responsibility for him and took everything down.

Yan Jin felt both remorse and shame these days. What kept repeating in his mind was the little bit of scarlet on Shen Zhixian's lips.

At the end of the teleportation, when Shen Zhixian was in a coma and vomited blood and couldn't stop, he was really cold hands and feet, and he didn't care about calmness and self-control, and stumbled to Sifeng with Shen Zhixian in his arms.

In a hurry, he even forgot that he had recovered his spiritual power, so he ran on two legs.

Fortunately, I saw the fourth elder halfway along the way. When the fourth elder saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly took the two people who were described as embarrassed and returned to Wufeng.

Shen Zhixian has been in a coma, and the Fourth Elder is not good to stay in Wufeng for a long time to cause suspicion. After Shen Zhixian's situation stabilized a little, he left, and only quietly came to see from time to time.

Shen Zhixian didn't have anyone else close and reliable, so Yan Jin was left guarding here, and he didn't close his eyes for three days.

But no matter how much he regrets and feels guilty, he can't make up for the hurt Shen Zhixian suffered this time.

"Master..." he said with difficulty, "I'm sorry..."

-Um? ?

—Oh, ah, ah, listen, what did he hear!

Shen Zhixian was really sleepy. He half-closed his eyes and was drowsy. When he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly awakened by this sentence.

What did he hear!

Yan Jin said sorry to him!

Shen Zhixian woke up a lot at once, and sighed in his heart, feeling that the pain all over his body was relieved a lot, and he wished to express his happiness by rewarding Yan Jin's forehead with a big chestnut on the spot.

In fact, only half of his behavior after waking up is true, and half is deliberate. After all, he has eaten so many elixir from the Fourth Elder. It is really uncomfortable, but it is not uncomfortable. looks like.

He deliberately exaggerated to show Yan Jin, just to see if he could make Yan Jin feel guilty. If Yan Jin felt guilty, it meant that Yan Jin's killing intent towards him was not so serious that it was irreversible. If Yan Jin didn't respond...

Then he should prepare himself as soon as possible and hide far away.

-However, I didn't expect the effect to be good

He thought that Yan Jin would only be silent and honest for a while as before, but he didn't expect to apologize directly this time

Shen Zhixian suddenly felt a sense of relief after all the hard work, and he consciously regained control of Yan Jin's means, and even eagerly tried to spit out two mouthfuls of blood to bluff Yan Jin, to see if he would jump up in a panic and shout "Master". Respect you not to die."

… the idea is beautiful, but it is not easy to implement.

Because Shen Zhixian is very sleepy now, very tired, very tired, and very uncomfortable, he just wants to close his eyes and sleep immediately, and he can deal with the rebels mentally, so he can only endure the pain and temporarily give up this small evil interest.

With a tired face, he let out a groggy sigh, patted Yan Jin's hand on the side of the couch, as if helpless, and said, "It's okay, go and rest."

"Master..."

The more tolerant Shen Zhixian behaved, the deeper the guilt in Yan Jin's heart, and layers upon layers of waves rolled over his heart, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

The back of his hand was patted twice, and the cold touch reminded him of the night when he was trapped in Trial Mountain in the first place. Shen Zhixian's hand was on his chest, the whole person was leaning against his arms, and he fell into a deep sleep and was completely defenseless.

Master trusts him, takes care of him, loves him, treats him so well...

However, he betrayed the trust of the master, and even took advantage of the trust of the master, and in turn hurt the master severely.

Shen Zhixian could no longer resist the drowsiness, closed his eyes and fell asleep, Yan Jin got up and picked him up, laid him flat on the couch, tucked the quilt for him, and stood by the couch again, staring at him for a long while before he was silent. He left the house quietly.

Just after leaving the house, Xiao Caoya, who had been waiting outside for a long time, flew over immediately, and seemed to be worried, and flew to Yan Jin's shoulder to chirp.

Before, Yan Jin was afraid that it would be too noisy, so she made a fuss about Shen Zhixian, not letting it enter the house, and only letting it play outside by herself.

Xiaocaoya also knew the seriousness of the matter, but she couldn't control her lively nature, so she could only aggrievedly chirp outside by herself, waiting for Shen Zhixian to wake up every day.

After finally waiting for Yan Jin to come out, it immediately came over excitedly, looked at Yan Jin's expression, and tried to guess the situation of Shen Zhixian in the room through Yan Jin's reaction.

Yan Jin looked calm, and walked out step by step, without the panic that he hurried back a few days ago, as if he had returned to his previous calm state.

Xiaocaoya thought it was all right, and was about to pat the leaves and cheer a few times, but Yan Jin took a few steps and suddenly covered her chest and groaned.

A mouthful of black blood spit out.

Yan Jin stared at the black blood on the ground with deep eyes, with no emotion.

There was a voice in his head screaming frantically, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he was trying to endure something.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath and pulled out his long sword with his backhand—he was guarding Shen Zhixian for the past few days, and the long sword that had never left his body was thrown into a corner, and he just picked it up before going out.

Lingling Jianguang was cold and ruthless, splitting a stone table bridge made of white jade not far away.

When the stone table slammed down on both sides, Yan Jin gasped for breath, propped his sword on the ground, and knelt down heavily on one knee.

Another mouthful of black blood sprayed on the blade, and fell down drop by drop.

The grass sprout was stunned.
