After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Luo Yiyan clenched her fists, her voice trembling: "He and I are friends, what did he do wrong by seeing me? You're the one who came later, you shouldn't have controlled him! What you're doing is wrong!"

Lin Zhixu listened in the courtyard and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Their level of arguing is not much different from that of elementary school students.

As expected of the main character, even when he gets angry, he is so polite.

Yu Linzhou was clearly too lazy to argue with a child. "Say what you want. Anyway, he is now my disciple. A teacher for a day is a father for life. It is only right for me to discipline him."

Luo Yiyan: "You—"

"Alright," Yu Linzhou interrupted him, his voice tinged with impatience. "I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't leave, I'll have to trouble Yan Lingcang to come and get you personally."

"I heard he's in seclusion. Do you think he'll find you too troublesome and dislike you because I'm bothering him with such a trivial matter?"

Luo Yiyan gritted her teeth, her face turning pale for a moment.

Yu Linzhou thought he had finally intimidated the man, but then he saw Luo Yiyan suddenly turn around and shout loudly towards the courtyard gate, "Zhixu, I'm sorry! I can't save you right now, but I'll try to come see you often!"

"Immortal Venerable Feng Heng is not a good person, don't be fooled by him! You must hold on, wait for me to think of a way—"

Inside the courtyard, Lin Zhixu remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking according to the script given by the system.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. I'm just too weak to save myself. You've had a hard time on Wucang Peak, and now you're worrying about me. I'm sorry."

Luo Yiyan imagined the person inside, clearly terrified, still trying to comfort him, and his eyes instantly reddened.

"I'm not sad! Everyone at Wucang Peak has been so kind to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get you out. Wait for me!"

Yu Linzhou's face darkened completely, and he lost all the leisurely mood he had just been in while teasing the kittens and puppies.

With a single palm strike, the sharp spiritual energy enveloped Luo Yiyan, sending him directly outside the Qiyue Peak barrier.

"Get out of here."

Then they found a large rock, carved the words "No human or beast may enter Wucang Peak" on it, and erected it next to the barrier.

After dealing with Luo Yiyan, Yu Linzhou returned to the courtyard in a menacing manner.

Lin Zhixu was sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating.

Yu Linzhou stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhixu's chin, forcing him to raise his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "So you're determined to go against me now? Can't you be a little more obedient?"

Lin Zhixu frowned, turned her head, and pulled her hand away: "Even if you are my master, you have no right to restrict my personal freedom. Haven't you heard of the saying 'too much of a good thing can be bad'?"

"The more you try to control me, the more I will rebel. Sooner or later, you will be unable to control me."

Yu Linzhou stared at his stubborn appearance for a while, and his anger inexplicably subsided by more than half.

He chuckled, "Fine, I'll wait for the day you rebel. Then I'll even let you ride me like a horse."

He straightened up and changed his tone: "Because too much time has been wasted on unimportant people, let's continue cultivating now."

"The newcomer competition is in half a month. You are still two levels away from the expected seventh level of Qi Refining. You must make up for it within half a month."

Lin Zhixu finally raised his eyelids: "You might as well force me to my death."

Yu Linzhou: "Don't say discouraging things. Your teacher believes in you."

Lin Zhixu: "..." Thank you.

……

Luo Yiyan struggled all the way back to Wucang Peak, and her steps were unsteady when she landed.

Although Yu Linzhou's palm strike did not injure his meridians, it still caused him severe pain all over his body, and he felt a dull ache with every step he took.

At the time, he thought it was a good thing that Zhixu had become a disciple of Fengheng Immortal Venerable, and that the other party would be a good master.

I never expected him to be such a domineering and unreasonable person.

Luo Yiyan was filled with remorse.

It's all his fault for being so ignorant and rashly pushing Zhixu into a fire pit.

He pushed open the courtyard gate and found Minghe standing in the courtyard.

"Senior Brother Ming?" Luo Yiyan was taken aback, subconsciously straightening his slightly disheveled clothes. "Why are you here?"

Minghe looked him up and down, her brows furrowing slightly. "What happened to you? Who did you fight with?"

"It's nothing, just a minor accident on the way," Luo Yiyan said vaguely. "Did you need something from me, Senior Brother?"

It's common for cultivators to encounter accidents, so Minghe didn't press for details and went straight to the point: "Immortal Venerable Wucang wants you to see him."

Luo Yiyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Master has emerged from seclusion?"

"I don't know." Minghe shook his head. "The Immortal Venerable came looking for you just now, but you weren't there, so he told me to wait here. He told me to go find him as soon as you return."

Luo Yiyan dared not delay and hurriedly headed towards the summit.

The summit of Wucang Peak is perpetually shrouded in a barrier that isolates it from the outside world. Inside, covered in ice and snow, it is Yan Lingcang's place of seclusion.

Luo Yiyan stopped outside the barrier and respectfully bowed: "Master, I heard from Senior Brother Ming that you were looking for your disciple. May I ask what business you have with me?"

A moment later, the barrier opened silently.

Luo Yiyan hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

The biting cold instantly enveloped his entire body, and he couldn't help but shiver.

After walking along the road for a while, a stone cave appeared in front of us, with no barrier set up at the entrance.

He was hesitating whether to go in directly when a cool, clear voice came from inside: "Come in."

Luo Yiyan then stepped inside.

The cave was almost empty, except for an ice bed made of ice, on which Yan Lingcang sat cross-legged.

Perhaps it was the contrast of the ice and snow filling the cave, but he looked even colder than usual.

Like a finely carved jade statue, it is flawless, yet devoid of any warmth.

"Greetings, Master." Luo Yiyan bowed.

Yan Lingcang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on him. Sensing a lingering fluctuation of spiritual energy, he frowned almost imperceptibly: "Are you injured?"

Luo Yiyan hesitated for a moment before truthfully recounting what had happened at Qiyue Peak: "This disciple is fine. I was driven out by Immortal Venerable Fengheng when I went to Qiyue Peak just now, and suffered some minor injuries."

Yan Lingcang's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained calm: "Since he doesn't welcome you, there's no need to go there again."

"But my friend is there." Luo Yiyan raised his head. "I just wanted to see my friend, but I didn't expect Immortal Venerable Fengheng to be so disgusted with the people of Wucang Peak."

"Just because Zhixu secretly came to see his disciple once, he imprisoned him and forbade him from seeing anyone."

Yan Lingcang frowned slightly: "He imprisoned someone?"

Luo Yiyan nodded.

The cave was quiet for a moment.

Yan Lingcang lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he sighed softly: "This Yu Linzhou is really becoming more and more outrageous."

Luo Yiyan couldn't help but ask, "Master, this disciple doesn't understand why Immortal Venerable Feng Heng is so hostile to the people of Wucang Peak. I just want to know if there's any way to rescue Zhixu?"

Yan Lingcang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No. No one can change Yu Linzhou's decision."
