Secrets Hidden Within The Bamboo Forest

      "Shizun!" Luo Binghe called out.
      Looking up, he could instantly tell that Xin Mo was taking advantage of his panic to gain control of his mind. It wasn't a good thing in the slightest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Shen Qingqiu didn't know how long he was out. But to him it honestly felt like it was rather a long, long ass time before his brows twitched, and his eyelids fluttered open, a distinct taste in his mouth lingered, but he couldn't tell what it was. 

     "Ah, awake are we?" Asked an amused, but charming voice.

      The voice was deep, but not so much, it was soft and had a masculine tone that held a certain hidden cruelty in it. Sitting up and looking up, Shen Qingqiu was first greeted with a sight of a coffin, his first thought was if he had died, but looking at the person in it made him fill up with curiosity, but only after looking at the mark on his forehead did he realize where he was, and who was making that old ass fucking rusty coffin look like a throne. 

     He smiled, "I've been waiting to meet you" He simply said, his head tilted to the side. 

    That action sort of made Shen Qingqiu slightly think of an eager dog.  Shen Qingqiu simply stood up, but his legs were wobbly, someone instantly came to his side and helped steady him on his uneasy legs. Shen Qingqiu had no choice but to slightly rely on whoever it was for support as he held his hand to his head, where a harsh throbbing pain was. 

     "Careful Immortal Master Shen, you had hit your head pretty hard. You were lucky I was able to heal what I can, but you would have to rest for a while" Said yet another voice, this one was more softer and shy, but definitely a male.

     Shen Qingqiu remained there for a bit until the throbbing pain subsided, only then did he open his eyes to look at the person he was shamelessly leaning on. The first thing he thought of when he looked at him was a little green snake. Shen Qingqiu was slightly embarrassed, and thanked him before standing back on his own two feet.

     "Sorry to burden you" Was what Shen Qingqiu said.

     The male grew flustered and shook his hands like it wasn't a problem "N-No worries Immortal Master Shen, I only didn't want to see you hurt" He said.

     Shen Qingqiu rubbed his head, but smiled kindly at him "Still, thanks"

    The male looked shocked, his face flushed deeply before looking away. The older demon who sat in the coffin laughed.

    "That nephew of mine is adorable, yes?" Said the male who Shen Qingqiu knew for a fact was Tianlang-Jun.

    "My lord, please don't mock me" If that was Tianlang-Jun, then this must be Zhuzhi, or rather Zhuzhi-Lang. 

      "Hate to be rude here" Said Shen Qingqiu, his tongue subconsciously trying to get more of the taste in his mouth "But why am I here?"

      Tianlang-Jun smiled "I would like your help" He said.

     Shen Qingqiu raised a brow "With what?"

     "Just a little sumthin' sumthin'" He said, before smiling down back at him once more.

     "So, I hear you aren't a regular Cultivator" He said.

     Cold blood flew into his veins, but he still kept a calm appearance.

     "How can I not be?" Should he try to play it dumb? What if he wasn't talking about what Shen Qingqiu was thinking?

     "Don't play dumb with me, I know you're a smart one. You're interesting, show me that weapon of yours that you hide within your body" Tianlang-Jun said.
