How about it? Mu Xueluo had been thinking about what she should do in the future, but who would have thought that she would suddenly be asked such a question?

"Immortal master..." She hesitated, "You said … "How about what?" She had seen Tianyin? She was easily given away by him? Or … Her suspicions about the emperor's identity? Did he discover something? Was it because he was too shocked at the time? Did he see through it?

Jin Xi looked at her expression, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Well, we'll talk about it in a few days." After finishing her sentence, she took the cup of water and gently gulped it down.

When Mu Xueluo heard this, she couldn't help but suppress the worry in her heart. She could only inwardly twitch her mouth. Whether it was a godly stick or a godly stick, since the ancient times, the godly stick has always been happy to be in a high state of mastery... However, she still hadn't found the opportunity to hear the news from him. Thinking of this, Mu Xueluo felt a bit of confusion in her heart.

"Immortal Teacher!" Ling Lan's voice came from outside the door. She was the one on duty today.

Jin Xi put down the cup of water and nodded slightly. Mu Xueluo quickly opened the door.

Ling Lan entered the room, bowed her head and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has sent word to summon Immortal Master and Sister Xueluo tomorrow … Cillin is with you. " As she spoke, she actually started to stutter. Mu Xueluo was puzzled. What happened to Linglan?

Who knew that when the immortal master heard this, he would not look at Ling Lan, and instead raised his head to look at Mu Xueluo. He stared at her thoughtfully for a while until the hairs on her body stood on end. Then, he waved his hand and said, "You may leave first."

Ling Lan bowed and stepped back, closing the door behind her. Mu Xueluo thought to herself that it was such a pity. She actually didn't ask him to go down; she didn't want to continue being stared at like this.

She didn't need to raise her eyes to know that he still hadn't shifted his gaze away. In the end, she lost her patience and asked, "Immortal Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Come here." The man's brusque tone disrupted her thoughts. She hurried over.

"Hold out your hand," he said again.

This time, Mu Xueluo hesitated. Did he still want to touch her? Even though she was his maid, she was not … Not much resistance to contact with him, but this. It still wasn't too good.

At this moment, Jin Xi's hand had already been lifted. As Mu Xueluo looked at his hand, the distracting thoughts in her heart suddenly vanished, leaving behind only the warmth she had experienced the last time they touched. Her hands were warm, so when she touched others, it was always cold to the touch. Only he could give her warmth.

Mu Xueluo's hesitation instantly vanished as she stretched out her hand and placed it in his palm. Indeed, it was like falling into a hot spring. She narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Jin Xi was deep in thought. He thought for a moment, then let go of her hand.

Mu Xueluo left his palm. For a moment, she was absent-minded as she looked at him, at a loss. Jin Xi's gaze shifted away from her hand. Looking elsewhere, she spoke, "Ke Er, this is the Royal Hunting Ground."

Mu Xueluo didn't understand his words. Hunting is hunting; isn't that just accompanying them?

"Tomorrow is the full moon. I will be at the roof praying to the heavens and not come out for the rest of the day." He said lightly.

"Huh?" Only then did Mu Xueluo hear his words and went out the door. "But His Majesty said … Let the immortal master and I accompany you. " No wonder that lass Ling Lan was hesitating. Immortal Master can't go out tomorrow.

"Your Majesty naturally knows my habits." He smiled.

Doesn't that mean that His Majesty wanted to have her as his companion in the first place? Mu Xueluo's heart began to race. This was a good opportunity to test the Emperor. Without this immortal master by her side, she would be much freer. Unknowingly, an excited expression appeared on her face.

All of her changes were seen by Jin Xi. Without revealing anything, he said, "Your Majesty is suspicious, easily angered, and has an unstable temperament."

Mu Xueluo's thoughts were pulled back into her head as she quietly listened. This was because he was exhorting her to serve His Majesty with caution! Although his words were disrespectful, they were true. The previous time, the female Emperor's temper had left a deep impression on her.

"Don't think too easily. There are some things that cannot be done, so it cannot be done. " His tone was still as indifferent as before, "There are some things that cannot be said, that cannot be said."

As Mu Xueluo heard this, the doubt in her heart began to grow. She looked up at him.

The immortal master calmly replied with a sentence that made Mu Xueluo turn pale with fright, "I know where you're from, but …" As if he didn't know how anxious Mu Xueluo was to hear the latter half of his words, he slowly picked up the cup of water, took a sip, and then gently placed the cup back on the table before continuing, "However, I hope that only the two of us know about this."

Mu Xueluo's heart thumped nonstop. These words of his must be referring to her own origin.

Did he really know? Was he talking about her original body, or her soul?

If it was the latter, he wouldn't think of himself as a heretic. Would he not chop himself up and sacrifice himself to the heavens? Mu Xueluo's heart was filled with a small hope – if that was the case, would he send her back?

But what did he mean by the second part? Did he know what he was planning? Knowing that he wanted to seek confirmation from the emperor? He knows the Emperor...? In that moment, Mu Xueluo's thoughts raced, but she wasn't confident at all.

"Immortal master …" Her voice was hoarse and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. "Immortal master, can you explain in detail?"

"You only need to know that you have to listen to me obediently." His lips curled into a slight smile. The sudden smile on his face was like a seductive charm. It had stained his immortal language with a few demonic notes.

Mu Xueluo stared at him blankly. She didn't immediately understand what he meant. Her tender lips parted as she said, "But …"

He put away his smile. It was still the same cold look, as if it was just an illusion.

He said, "You can go back and see if your Tianshu Acupoint has a red mark. It's a poison. " He ignored Mu Xueluo's reaction and continued, "Only I can cure this poison."

Mu Xueluo's small face instantly wrinkled up, as if she had swallowed Huang Lian. Was this a threat? You want me to listen to him? But what virtue or ability did he have to make this exalted immortal master act as though he did not care about threatening him with his status? She was furious in her heart. However, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. Her body was the most important thing, so she would think about other things later.

She stared at Jin Xi with anger in her eyes, but didn't dare to flare up, "I will do as immortal master says, I won't go against your wishes."

Jin Xi nodded slightly and closed her eyes, indicating that she could leave now.

Mu Xueluo had wanted to leave a long time ago, so she did not hesitate and quickly left, closing the door behind her. After nodding to Ling Lan, who stood far away from the door, he went straight to his own small courtyard.

She vaguely remembered Ling Lan saying yesterday that there was a small library on the west side of the courtyard. Most of the books were medical books. In the eyes of the common folk, they were fairies who saved the dying and helped the injured. Normally, they would have to read medical books.

She dashed to the study room, frantically searching for books on acupuncture points. Up and down. Finally, under her unremitting efforts, she found a book on acupuncture and moxibustion. She had a little knowledge of the language of all ages, and it didn't seem difficult. Flipping through the pages, he finally found where the Tianshu acupoint was.

She returned to the courtyard and called for water for her bath. Because of the inconvenience of his leg injury yesterday, he did not bathe and thus did not notice anything unusual about his body.

In the bathroom, she quickly stripped off all her clothes. Sure enough, she saw a red mark on her stomach. It didn't look like a red mole, but rather like a vermilion pigment stained deeply into the skin and flesh.

She touched it carefully. It didn't hurt. He then used a cloth to gently wipe the water inside without making any changes. She groaned. Leaning against the edge of the bath barrel, her snow-white body slowly slid into the hot water. Only half of her head was exposed on the surface of the water. She pursed her lips as she spat out bubbles. What was this? Was the legendary Heaven jealous of beauties?

He had been reincarnated for two days. Other than the pain from his right leg falling, his body didn't feel any discomfort. It seemed that this poison was a chronic poison. It was just that he did not know when it would break out. Would it be too painful? She lowered her head to look at the red mark. It seemed as if there really was a faint pain coming from it. She quickly withdrew her train of thoughts and muttered to herself, "This is a psychological effect …" "Psychological effects..."

For the past two days, her life had been turning upside down. A talkative immortal master, a female emperor who looked like a childhood friend... Sigh! She sighed again. And the poison in his body, and the threat of that godly staff.

Humph! Originally, she was very willing to get close to that man who seemed to be floating in the air, but now, he was threatening her with the poison she was infected with! Mu Xueluo had given him a huge loss of points in his heart as she changed from immortal master to a godly staff.

Soak in a hot bath is comfortable and comfortable, but the days still have to go by! Fortunately, Mu Xueluo wasn't a soft and pessimistic person. Since there were so many trials to pass, he could just take the risk. There was no impossible path, and there would always be a chance to find a way.

Wasn't it just listening to him, not saying anything more? He was not in a hurry to climb that giant tree anyway. He would first get rid of the poison.

Mu Xueluo had made up her mind that as long as she wasn't on duty in the next few days, she would study more and more of medicine. He would find a way to become self-reliant and cure the poison himself. Besides, he really needed to prepare a few more moves when he asked her to help the emperor get his pulse last time. It wasn't right for him to spout out that nonsense every time — Your Majesty's health is fine …

She soaked in the hot water and managed to pull herself together. A pair of jade-like arms supported the edge of the bucket, supporting her snow-white body. Water droplets flowed down her wet jet-black hair onto her slender white neck, and then flowed down her clear and exquisite collarbone before dripping into the water. Thinking of her pretentious performance today, Mu Xueluo couldn't help but laugh. Her little face flushed red from the water vapor, and a charming smile blossomed on her face.
