Pei Yunshu's lips remained swollen the longer Zhu You stayed on the mountain.
The barrier on the hillside was set up by Zhu You himself, and the master didn't come either, as if he didn't notice the evil spirit here. Pei Yunshu secretly admired Zhu You's cultivation, but he was mostly helpless about his closeness.
These days, he even felt pain when talking. Zhu You seemed to like the way his lips were swollen. If the swelling subsided, he would always kiss his lips again when he was asleep until they were swollen. But he would not let go even after they were swollen. Pei Yunshu always felt that his lips were not his own after these days.
He tried hiding and was angry, but Zhu You was still the same. Pei Yunshu had no choice but to accept his fate.
On the eve of the disciple-recruiting conference, he dodged when Zhu You kissed him again, with a serious expression, "No more kissing."
Zhu You nodded, "Okay."
Pei Yunshu was not fooled by his nod. He continued, "You will attend the disciple-recruiting meeting tomorrow. I will also go there. I will follow behind Master. So today, you really can't kiss me anymore."
Zhu You looked at his swollen lips. The color was really eye-catching, like a ripe fruit, you could taste the juice when you bit it. Just by looking at it, he wanted to go up and kiss and bite it again, as if he couldn't taste enough. But Pei Yunshu's expression was very serious. Zhu You pondered for a while and nodded.
Pei Yunshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He began to worry again, "If you were to transform into a human, would you be recognized by the real people?"
If Zhu Youruo entered Shanshui Sect, he naturally could not enter in such a look, because he just wanted to stay with Pei Yunshu. He was a dragon that could fly into the sky and into the earth. Shanshui Sect could not trap him, and Pei Yunshu did not want him to be trapped in Shanshui Sect. He could only use a fake identity to stay by Pei Yunshu's side.
If he wants to leave, he can leave whenever he wants.
Zhu You said calmly: "Their cultivation is not enough."
Although he spoke in an arrogant tone, Pei Yunshu felt that he was telling the truth, so he smiled and said, "In the entire Shanshui Sect, only the Grandmaster can see the evil aura in you?"
Zhu You took his hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, frowning, unwillingly, "Yes."
Pei Yunshu was amused by his unhappy expression. He pulled his hand away and applied medicine to his swollen lips. "The brothers on Wuqi Peak are as capable as those of Cangyue Sect. They should have something that can cover up the evil spirit. I'll go find one for you."
The medicine on his lips made him look even more pitiful and cute, as if inviting people to taste him. Zhu You moved closer, but kept his promise and did not kiss him. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Pei Yunshu's lips was dark and scary.
Pei Yunshu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly applied the medicine and was about to turn around and leave.
Zhu You transformed into a bracelet and wore it on his fair wrist. He followed him onto the Qingyue Sword and flew towards the Wuqi Peak.
In the study, Baili Ge, who was reading a book, looked at the two people who left. After a moment of silence, he asked Hua Yue beside him: "Did they forget the existence of you and me?"
Huayue's tail covered her eyes, hiding the aggrieved fox eyes that were glistening with water.

On Wuqi Peak, Pei Yunshu found a senior brother he knew, and the senior brother took him to the warehouse, "Junior brother, you finally found the right person. I have so many things here. I guarantee that I can get whatever you want."
Pei Yunshu thanked him. After his senior brother brought him to the storehouse, he let him choose whatever he wanted. He just needed to say a few words to him at the end. After giving him instructions, he went out to continue refining the weapon, leaving Pei Yunshu alone here.
What caught his eyes was a bunch of golden magic weapons. Pei Yunshu moved his eyes away from the golden light, pulled down his sleeves, and said to Zhu You: "Zhu You, can you sense something that can cover your demonic aura?"
Zhu You flew out from his wrist and instantly disappeared into a group of magic weapons.
He was looking for his own thing, and Pei Yunshu had nothing to do, so he simply looked at them one by one.
There were many cabinets in the warehouse, with a table and chairs in the middle. Pei Yunshu approached and saw a pile of red powder on the table. The red powder looked like rouge, and the color was particularly beautiful. He couldn't help but dip a little with his fingertips and sniffed it.
A faint fragrance wafts from the tip of the nose and penetrates deep into the mind, rich and fragrant, with a subtle aroma that is alluring.
Pei Yunshu couldn't help but take another sniff. Someone patted him on the shoulder. Pei Yunshu turned around and saw Zhu You with a cold face.
Zhu You lowered his eyes and looked at him, "I found it."
Pei Yunshu's face suddenly turned red.
He stared at Zhu You blankly, feeling his heart beating too fast, and his exposed skin was stained red. He looked into Zhu You's eyes, which were filled with shyness and passion, as if he was looking at his beloved, and could not look away for even a moment.
With his passion rising and his eyes full of love, Pei Yunshu just wondered how Zhu You could be so handsome, so handsome that he was at a loss, and his heart was beating as fast as if he was sick.
Zhu You noticed that something was wrong with him and frowned, "Madam?"
Pei Yunshu's eyes trembled, he lowered his eyes to look at the ground and said softly, "Hmm."
His arms were shaking and his face was flushed even more.
He actually responded to the call "Madam".
Zhu You's eyes darkened, and he moved closer to Pei Yunshu, but before he could kiss her, Pei Yunshu closed his eyes, raised his chin, and slightly opened his lips, looking uneasy and expecting Zhu You to kiss him.
The demonic marks on Zhu You's face appeared instantly, blood appeared in his eyes, and he swallowed his saliva in suppression. The spiritual energy around him formed small whirlpools due to his suppression, and they were whistling softly. Zhu You could not bear to see his bloodshot eyes completely exposed, and the magic weapon beside him was also shaking slightly due to the intimidation.
He looked into Pei Yunshu's eyes as if he wanted to swallow Pei Yunshu alive.
The noise in the warehouse attracted the senior brother, "Junior brother?"
As the voice got closer, Zhu You covered his eyes. He placed a kiss on Pei Yunshu's trembling eyes lightly, and then turned into a bracelet and flew to Pei Yunshu's wrist.
His heart was beating even faster, and Pei Yunshu's ears had turned as red as blood jade. He covered the bracelet on his wrist and stood there at a loss.
The magic weapon stopped shaking. When the senior brother from Wuqi Peak walked in, he saw him standing there in a daze. He asked curiously, "Junior brother, what happened?"
Pei Yunshu shook his head quickly. He glanced at the powder on the table and came back to his senses from his abnormal state. He pointed at the red powder and asked, "Brother, what is this?"
"Oh," the senior brother scratched his head, "I almost forgot to tell you, junior brother, this is the powder that I made for some of the senior sisters. Later, it will be refined into a pair of sachets for Taoist couples, so that they can be inseparable and fly together. Junior brother, you didn't touch it, right? It's all my fault that I forgot to tell you."
Pei Yunshu's sleeves trembled, and he whispered: "I didn't touch it."
"It's good that you didn't touch it," the senior brother said carelessly, "but it's okay if you touched it. This thing can only last for more than ten days at most. It won't cause any trouble."
Pei Yunshu should have felt relaxed and happy after hearing what he said, and he did feel relaxed, but in addition to relaxation, he also felt more lost and unwilling.
Pei Yunshu quickly put away these emotions and secretly moved away from the red powder. This thing was really terrible.
Since Zhu You had already found something, Pei Yunshu didn't dare to stay any longer. He said goodbye to his senior brother and hurried back to Santian Peak.
The two foxes in the study were thinking about how to hunt some pheasants when they saw him rush into the study, looking extremely panicked.
Baili Ge's face turned serious, and just as he was about to ask what was going on, Zhu You flew out from Pei Yunshu's sleeve and turned into a human form in an instant.
Pei Yunshu didn't even have the ability to resist, and was overwhelmed by the joy that came head-on. He whispered: "Have you found something to cover up the evil spirit?"
His voice was so soft that even his words trembled with nervousness.
"Well," Zhu You stared at him without moving his eyes for a moment, "I found it."
Pei Yunshu noticed his gaze, and his face became even hotter, "Then try changing your appearance."
"Don't keep looking at me."
Zhu You hummed softly but continued to look at him. His gaze slid down Pei Yunshu's face one by one, and he suddenly changed into a different look.
His appearance was still quite handsome, but it was a human kind of handsomeness, with cold eyebrows and a high nose bridge. The look in his eyes when he looked at Pei Yunshu was still as passionate as usual.
Pei Yunshu glanced at him twice, then restrainedly looked away and turned to the bedroom. "You are very good like this, don't worry. I am a little tired, I will go to sleep for a while. Don't forget to go to Shanshui Sect to check your qualifications tomorrow, and go up the mountain with the new disciples."
His figure gave a feeling of fleeing in panic.
Zhu You didn't try to stop him, but just looked at his back, and after a while, he curled his lips.

Early the next morning, Pei Yunshu was waiting in front of Master Ling Qing's door.
Peach blossoms were fluttering, but he was somewhat distracted.
"Junior brother," the eldest senior brother at the side asked, "is there anything bothering you?"
Pei Yunshu came back to his senses and shook his head, "No."
This morning, when he saw that the swelling on his lips had gone down, he didn't have to worry about being noticed by others. However, since he left Zhu You in the morning, he began to worry, fearing that Zhu You didn't understand the world and would cause trouble.
This feeling of worrying about others all the time is really too terrible. Pei Yunshu needs to put a lot of effort into suppressing these thoughts.
But because his mind was completely focused on these things, his expression seemed perfunctory and indifferent.
Like frost in February, or deep snow at night, it cuts deep into the heart.
The eldest senior brother fell silent. He looked at Pei Yunshu, but junior brother Yunshu was staring at the ground in a daze, immersed in his own world, ignoring outsiders.
After sealing Junior Brother Yun Shu's memory, Yun Jing spoke two sentences to him, including the one he just said.
Although they are fellow disciples, it seems that even outsiders cannot compare to them.
Yun Jing sighed, and suddenly he pulled Pei Yunshu's hand and pulled him behind him, "Junior brother, there is a snake on the peach tree, don't get too close."
Pei Yunshu heard this and looked towards the peach tree.
Sure enough, there was only a thin little snake coiled on the branch, looking straight at this place. At first glance, it looked like a twisted branch and was really hard to spot.
Pei Yunshu's face condensed, and the things about Zhu You in his mind were suppressed at this moment, but he did not show any fear. He just pulled his hand away with a calm expression, "Thank you, senior brother."
The eldest brother was stunned and turned to look at him.
Junior Brother Yunshu looked at the snake as if it was nothing serious.
The eldest brother withdrew his gaze, smiled, and stopped talking.
When they followed the master out of Wuzhi Peak, the second brother walked up to the eldest brother and said meaningfully, "Brother, that snake's arrival was really a coincidence."
The eldest brother said: "It's a coincidence."
Yun Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the peach tree again. There was no snake there, only a winding branch that looked like a snake.
*
When Pei Yunshu followed his master to the main hall, it was already full of people.
The disciples who were sent up by the wandering cultivators stood in the front, and those standing in the back were the disciples who were recruited from the foot of the mountain.
Pei Yunshu followed Master Ling Qing to the front. After his master sat down, he stood behind him and began to patrol the crowd.
Today morning is the last time to recruit disciples. Even if he is selected, he will be ranked at the back. However, Pei Yunshu is very confident in Zhu You's ability. He believes that Zhu You's position will definitely not be at the back.
Sure enough, among the disciples sent by the casual cultivators, standing in the first row was Zhu You’s shadow.
Zhu You noticed Pei Yunshu's gaze. He looked over from a distance, and when he saw Pei Yunshu, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled.
Pei Yunshu suddenly lowered his head, his face flushed.
The third senior brother standing beside him saw him lower his head suddenly, so he also bent down and playfully looked at Pei Yunshu's face, "Junior brother, are you feeling shy standing in front of all the new junior brothers?"
But as soon as he bent down, he saw Pei Yunshu's expression and couldn't help but be stunned.
Pei Yunshu took a few deep breaths and forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart. He raised his face with a calm expression, but the color on his face was still there, revealing the blush that made his heart beat.
He did not notice the stunned Third Senior Brother, but took a step forward and whispered to the Master, "Master, are you still accepting disciples today?"
He was close to Master Ling Qing, and he was still as intimate as before. Master Ling Qing hadn't spoken to him like this for a long time. His face softened a little, and he said, "Let's see."
That day, he brought Yun Wang from the mortal world to Shanshui Sect and said that Yun Wang would be his last disciple.
But Yunwang became Venerable Wuwang, and Pei Yunshu didn't remember this matter. Master Ling Qing knew in his heart that he would not accept any disciples this time, but he couldn't tell it to his four disciples.
When Pei Yunshu heard this, anticipation rose in his heart. He took a step back, raised the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but smile.
