"Second Master, Lingye has a question to ask you."

"Well, you say."

"Lingye wants to know how the second master used the soul-binding whip yesterday?" Lingye's eyes showed concern.

The second master thought for a while, frowned and replied: "It's just like an ordinary whip. You can swing it out with your hand."

The second master had never thought about this problem, and he didn't know how he could wield that black whip at that time.

Is it that simple? Lingye was a little confused.

"Dong Lingye," the second master pushed her with his elbow, "could it be that you were tricking me and said I couldn't use it?"

Lingye blinked: "How could it be possible? Lingye thought that the whip was extremely overbearing. The second master's mortal body had no spiritual power, so it would cause great harm to himself."

"But you have seen it with your own eyes. Second Master, I can indeed use the soul-binding whip. Then what do you think is the reason for this?"

Lingye was silent. After a moment of silence, she looked at the second master and said, "Maybe it's because the second master can see ghosts that he gradually gained some spiritual power."

Hearing this, the second master asked Lingye excitedly: "Then can I practice spiritual arts or something like that?"

"Ah?" Lingye didn't react for a while, "Second Master, having spiritual power does not mean that you can practice spiritual arts. All things have spiritual energy, and you can do this by turning the energy into power. Then you can learn from a teacher or understand the way of heaven.

Cultivation, these all need to look at one’s own nature.”

"I have been able to see ghosts and monsters since I was a child. Doesn't this mean that my nature is good?" The second master was a little unhappy.

Lingye didn't know how to answer. The second master is the soul of Pluto, so there is no need to explain his nature. However, if Pluto practices spiritual arts in the human world in an attempt to become an immortal, this would be against the laws of heaven.

The second master looked at her suspiciously, why didn't Dong Lingye speak?

"Hey, are you afraid that I will bully you after I finish my studies? That's true. I have been smart and intelligent since I was a child. I think if I practice spiritual arts, I will definitely be one step ahead of others." The second master said to himself.

, completely unaware of the strange color on Lingye’s face.

"Second Master," she hurriedly called to him, saying that if you continue to say so, you are definitely not far from becoming an immortal, "you cannot practice spiritual arts."

"Why?"

"The Chu family, a powerful family for five hundred years, has been protected by the gods of heaven and earth. It is a great honor. As the saying goes, when water is full, it will overflow, and things will turn upside down. When God loves you, it will treat you unfairly, and you are one of them."

Although her words were used to dissuade the second master, they were not all nonsense.

The Chu family has been passed down alone for several generations and is still prosperous. How can outsiders understand the joys and sorrows of each one?

The second master was silent for a moment after hearing Lingye's words. The top dignitary of the Chu family, even if he was not involved in politics and military affairs, would attract the jealousy and fear of others. Although he had been tyrannical in the capital for ten years, if he had not been tyrannical, the Chu family would have suffered great losses.

"I know, if you don't want to learn, you won't learn. If you don't learn, it will save trouble." The second master muttered, like a child.

"What did you say?" Lingye didn't understand what the second master meant by saving trouble.

"Easy to trouble. If you learn spiritual arts, you will live a long life. When others grow old, I will be left alone and alone. The people who are close to me and loved are no longer around. From this point of view, it is fine not to learn this spiritual arts."

The second master said it freely and freely, but it made Lingye feel bitter in her heart. She pretended to lower her head and pour tea without looking at the second master, but a sad look appeared on the corner of her lips.

Yes, it is the happiest thing in the world to have the one you love stay with you. But the way of heaven is such that she cannot be greedy and harm herself and others.

"Second Master...sees everything clearly."

It sounded like he was being praised by Ling Ye. The second master was very happy. This should be the most comfortable moment for him today.

The two sat quietly for a while. When the night door closed, Ren Xi and Fu Gui returned from the front hall, and they also returned to their rooms.

The second master returned to the room and pulled off his hair tie. Sure enough, his forehead was a shade of red, and the slightest touch made the second master inhale.

He also admired himself very much for not missing any scenes during the whole process, just like a normal person.

In fact, the swelling was not bad, but as soon as it was touched, it seemed to be getting more and more painful. In desperation, the second master rummaged through the cabinets to find the medicine box, and applied some medicinal wine, which made it feel better.

Alas, I think his second master's life in the capital city is going to be rough and rainy. He has just been in the countryside for a few days, and look at this exhausting job. He is really looking for trouble for himself.

But let's go, the second master suddenly felt reluctant to let go. He used to be domineering in the capital, but he was always worried about falling into someone's trap accidentally.

But in Fang Xiangshi, it was comfortable and comfortable, and he didn't have to worry about this or that. The people here were also nice to him, and he could relax and have nothing to worry about every day.

Thinking about it this way, the second master should live here with peace of mind.

The second master looked in the mirror and planned to apply the medicinal wine again, but suddenly he heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Second Master, I am Lingye."

Dong Lingye! Why is she here again after everyone has gone back to their respective homes?

Outside the door, Lingye stood quietly waiting for the second master to open the door, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Just wait a moment..."

The second master was clanging in the room, hurriedly clearing the table and hiding the medicine box, rubbing his forehead with a towel in front of the mirror, then putting on his hair tie crookedly, and went to open the door regardless of his embarrassment.

"Why are you here?"

The second master stood close to the door frame, pressing against the door to prevent Lingye from entering. Naturally, she had doubts.

"Second Master, what are you doing in the room?"

"No, I didn't do anything. What do you want?"

Although the second master didn't say anything, Lingye looked at him with a troubled expression and guessed something was wrong. While Lingye was thinking, he suddenly smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine coming from the second master.

She asked nervously: "Second Master, are you injured?"

It's over, it was still discovered.

The second master's eyes flickered: "No, I just hit my head accidentally before, but I'm fine now."

Lingye frowned and immediately called Xiao Gui to get an ice pack: "After injury and swelling, you need to apply cold compresses first to stop the bleeding. Not only do you need to apply medicinal wine, but you also need to rub it to loosen the blood..."

Seeing Ling Ye's serious face, the second master stepped aside to let her come in to talk.

"You don't have to go to such trouble, the swelling will subside after I sleep." As he said that, the second master took off the hair tie and showed the wound to Lingye, "Look, it's much better."

He saw the second master's forehead was red and swollen, which was particularly shocking when reflected on his fair forehead. Lingye couldn't help but worry after looking at it.

When the second master saw that Lingye was sullen and silent, he felt unsure. He just hit his head, it wasn't a big deal.

Alas, my handsome and handsome appearance has faded.

The atmosphere was tense, and the kid outside the door knocked carefully: "Master Dong, Second Master, I brought the ice pack."

Lingye took the ice pack and walked to the second master, "Sit down."

The second master’s face looks weird. Why? Dong Lingye wants to give him a cold compress?

Strangely enough, the second master was quite obedient and sat on the sofa, as well-behaved as a primary school student.

Lingye stood in front of the second master. I don't know when a rubber band appeared in her hand, and she held the bangs in front of the second master's forehead as if to tie his hair.

How could this be possible? Just as the second master was about to tilt his head, he heard Ling Ye's cold voice: "Don't move."

The second master curled his lips, "I, how can I, a man, tie my hair!"

Lingye didn't care about him. His hand movements were not slow, but gentle. In the blink of an eye, he made a pestle rising to the sky. The second master wanted to reach out and touch it to feel what it looked like, but Lingye didn't let him go, fearing that he would be disobedient and pick it off. He lifted it lightly.

Lift the second master's cheek, put the ice pack on the wound, and press it slightly hard, causing the second master to take a cold breath.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..."

The second master's eyebrows were wrinkled in pain, and Lingye didn't stop using his hands, so he just followed her touch. Seeing that Lingye didn't speak and his face was gloomy, he closed his mouth and pursed his lips tightly.

"I, let me tell you, although you helped me treat the wound, you shouldn't have tied my pigtails." The second master hesitated and said the words again and again, even though he was careful when speaking, he looked very pitiful.

Ling Ye chuckled lightly, if he were Pluto at this time, he would definitely say with a cold face that she was so bold and unruly, how could she be as lovely as the second master.

"Second Master, please forgive me, I have to lift your bangs to apply on your forehead. This is the most convenient way." Indeed, it is much more convenient to tie up your hair in pigtails.

After thinking about it again, Lingye said: "Second Master, don't worry, it's not ugly."

She had helped Fu Gui prick many times in the past, and she had already become proficient at it.

The tips of the second master's ears were slightly red, as if his thoughts were being read. Hum, who can say whether he is ugly or not? "I look handsome no matter what I do." The second master is also stubborn and unwilling to be outdone.

Lingye admitted it simply and concurred, praising the second master for being handsome, and then stopped.

It took about twenty minutes before Lingye let the ice pack leave the second master's forehead. The second master wanted to reach out and touch it, but Lingye quickly held him back.

"Don't touch it, it hurts."

The second master curled his lips, why did it hurt? He had no consciousness for a long time. Now he was afraid that he would be in pain, so why didn't he say anything. But the strange thing was that the second master's heart was full of warmth.

Lingye came back with the medicinal wine, poured some on the palm of his hand, and gently placed it on the second master's forehead.

The second master suddenly felt warmth on his forehead, and slowly, it seemed as if there was heat lingering in his heart, rising up and blooming all over his body like fireworks, emerging on his face, his ears itched, and his whole body felt hazy, as if he was floating in the universe.

Very strange.

The second master tightly closed his lips and said nothing. It was not because of pain, but because he didn't want to think too much about it and just let it go in confusion.

After another half hour, Lingye let go of Er Ye's forehead, and the warmth left.

"Don't worry, Second Master, the swelling will subside tomorrow and it's nothing serious."

The second master responded in a low voice: "Oh." It's not a big deal, it's just you.
