My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“No, Chef won"t be able to pa.s.s through the Mental Demon Tribulation like this!” Hit had only been hit by more than 50 lightening so far. There are 30 more!

“Oh.” Shen Ying"s look darkened, “Let"s pause it then!”

With that said, she suddenly reached out and made a snap in the air.

Instantly, the white lightening that was coming down from the sky stopped right there above Chef"s head, as if a “pause” b.u.t.ton had been clicked. It was as if a red lamp post appeared between sky and earth.

Wow.

Lonemoon, “…” You can even do this!

Shen Ying walked right up to the person undergoing tribulation. She looked at his blackened body and painful expression, sighed, squatted beside him and poked the person.

“Chef!”

Yi Qing"s expression worsened, and only after a long time did he open his eyes. Instantly, a pair of red eyes looked straight towards her. He was completely inside his mental demon, and the look he gave her actually contained some angst for the first time ever.

“Master!” His eyes widened, and he asked accusingly, “Who am I? Who is it that you have been seeing me as!?”

Shen Ying was stunned, and some surprise went across her eyes. “Che-”

“I"m not your Chef!” He suddenly cried out, as though many suppressed emotions all erupted at the same time. “I"m not Chef, I"m not Yi Qing. I don"t know your past! Master… Master, why do you always have to treat me as someone else?”

“Both you and Lonemoon, how do you see me after all? I am really willing to and working hard to do everything well. I"m really trying hard. Can you please look at me and not look at someone else through me?”

“Master… Did you take me as a disciple because I was me, or because I was him? Am I just a shadow for you to miss him?”

“But, what if… what if I am not him? If you have been wrong all along…”

“But you are!”

“I am not!” He roared, even louder than before, and the emotions in his eyes became crazier. “I am not! I don"t want to be someone else"s replacement. I don"t want you to look at him through me. I just want you to look at me, and me alone! Master is my…”

Before he could finish, Shen Ying suddenly slammed him on his head, making his head drop. He seemed unable to react for a moment. Then he looked up with a confused expression, and even the crazy expression on his face seemed to freeze.

“How did you start having such sickly affectation?” He must have been badly influenced by Father Niu.

“Master-”

“I mean… is there something wrong with your brain? What nonsense are you thinking about?” Shen Ying scratched her head in irritation. “What replacement? There had only been one Chef all along, from past to present. The only one who separated the two was yourself.”

“I-”

“Are you too free? So that you are playing such things with yourself? If you are so free, how about do some more cooking?”

“I had never thought about between you of the past and you at the moment, which was better? If you have to compare, at least compare with others. What"s up with troubling your own self?”

“Besides… You can"t remember things from the past yourself. Can you blame me for it?”

“But what if I am not him…”

“Not him?” Shen Ying"s eyes narrowed, unhappiness written all over her face. “Are you doubting the vision of Father Niu, or myself?”

He was stunned, and hurried to shake forcefully, “No, I have never doubted Master.”

“Good.” Shen Ying suddenly reached out and touched his head, messing his hair up at the same time. “So… are you done with the affliction?”

“…” Yi Qing was stunned. Some confusion remained in his eyes, but the redness in them faded gradually, and the angst over his body disappeared completely. He returned to his original state, like he had finally figured it out.

“Finish it off quickly, I haven"t eaten lunch yet!” Shen Ying added.

His look slowly went back to a firm one, and the aura around his body improved a lot instantly. He cupped his fist and replied in a clear voice, “Yes, Master!”

“Oh yeah, make a few more meat dishes.”

“Yes, Master. No problem, Master!”

Only now did Shen Ying stand up, turn back and walk out of the scope of Lightning Tribulation. In the next instant, the rumbling of thunder was heard once more. The red color of the lightning was seen to fade gradually, first becoming light red, and then instantly returning to white.

“His mental demon disappeared!” Lonemoon looked towards the sky, turned and looked at Shen Ying who walked back. “What did you talk to him about? Even his mental demon was gone with your chatter.” Her trickery abilities had improved.

“You weren"t listening?” Shen Ying inclined her head.

“What is that look you"re giving me? Am I that kind of person?”

“Yes!”

“…” Motherf*cker!

The tribulation lightening became even thicker in the sky, and a wave of white light illuminated the surroundings. Yet as that was merely tribulation lightening of Nascent Soul, besides the Mental Demon Tribulation just now, the rest paled in comparison to Heavenly Tribulation of the Celestial World. Lonemoon felt completely relieved now. The two didn"t wait long before all the tribulation lightening finished. However, the last wave of lightening seemed especially powerful, with its brightness dozens of times as bright as the previous ones. When it came down, even the protective arrays that Lonemoon made on the way shook, and almost collapsed.

Yet Chef, who was in the middle of everything, didn"t seem to feel much. On his body, there were no more injuries besides those from the mental demon just now. A moment later, the tribulation clouds cleared in the sky, and the surroundings started to brighten. At the same time, a great amount of Spirit Qi rushed over, filling Honesty Sect instantly. Especially in the direction of Chef, the Spirit Qi was so thick that it looked like it could materialize. Even the injuries on him healed visibly at a rapid speed.

He walked straight towards the two. They didn"t know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the look in his eyes was calmer than before. He looked straight towards the direction of Shen Ying, and something flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, “Master, I"m back.”

Shen Ying was stunned for an instant. Her eyes narrowed, “Oh… I"m hungry.”

“Okay, Master!” Chef dived into the kitchen just now without a moment of stop. He even forgot to contain the overflowing Sword Qi all around him.

Speaking of which, the Sword Qi on him seemed a bit too thick…

Wait a moment!

Lonemoon looked at his cultivation subconsciously.

“Holy s.h.i.+t! Why are you at Soul Formation?” Lonemoon chased him into the kitchen and looked carefully over his body. It was Soul Formation cultivation indeed! Wasn"t he still at Nascent Soul just now during the lightening? How did he jump up another level with the blink of an eye?

“Hmm.” Yi Qing dug for ingredients, a casual look on his face. “There was too much Spirit Qi.”

“s.h.i.+t. You are rising a bit too fast now.” Can there be a problem? “Is your body okay?”

He shook his head while cutting vegetables, “It"s okay.”

“This won"t do. You are rising too fast. If there is really a problem, we would have sent you down in vain.” Lonemoon became ever more worried as he thought about him. “Your body had just recovered. What if a problem comes up?”

“Oh.” Yi Qing replied casually. He pointed to his side and pointed, “Father Niu, pa.s.s me that plate!”

Lonemoon handed it over casually. “I had better examine it carefully for you later. It is best that Shen Ying also help check the data, etc.”

“Hmm.”

“I"m going to look for Shen Ying!” As he said that, he started walking out of the kitchen. After a few steps, he suddenly stiffened, as though he remembered something. He opened his eyes wide and turned his head somewhat mechanically. “What did you call me just now?”
