Chapter 27 Chapter 27 It’s better to be older, so you can care for others

The others looked at Lin Yan as if he was a madman.

What was he doing?

Seeking praise?

It’s harder than climbing to the sky to have the master praise you.

“Yeah.” Rong Xu said, “Very good.”

Lin Yan was satisfied, and the others went crazy.

Lu Li looked at Lin Yan, then at A Bao, lowering his head in thought.

Fang Siran spoke quickly: “Master, I found the Ice Blade Grass that is hard to find for a thousand years. Am I also amazing?”

Xi Minghua secretly pinched Fang Siran’s arm. Fang Siran felt pain and wrinkled his face, but he didn’t dare to shout out.

Lin Yan was a little panicked. He had finally changed the topic. Why did the third senior brother mention the Ice Blade Grass for no reason? What if that place was really the master’s hometown? It would only make people feel worse.

"Master, I didn't know before that Abao could turn into a three-year-old child with watery eyes, so cute."

Abao heard Lin Yan praise it and happily pounced on it, but it didn't go too far, just rubbed it a little.

Fang Siran was pulled away by Xi Minghua, and he was very unwilling: "Master, you haven't praised me yet!"

But in the end, Rong Xu didn't say anything.

"Master, I'll take my leave."

After the others left, Lin Yan followed and left. He was too tired and urgently needed sleep to replenish his energy. Abao looked at his back with eager eyes, feeling very aggrieved.

Lin Yan lay there for two days, and no one cared about him, not even the master asked about it, which made him feel very strange.

After sleeping until noon again, Lin Yan went to the dining hall to eat. There were few people

in the dining hall. After all, when you reach the Jindan stage, you can practice fasting and don’t need to eat. There are very few inner disciples who have not reached the Jindan stage except him. But here he met a very unexpected person, the sect leader Shen Congchuan.

Since becoming his disciple, Lin Yan has never seen Shen Congchuan. It is said that he is practicing in seclusion, but he knows that Shen Congchuan is obsessed with refining the elixir. These days, he is not in Guiyuan Mountain, but collecting herbs.

More than half of the inner disciples in Guiyuan Mountain were picked up by him when he was collecting herbs.

Lin Yan stood up to salute, and Shen Congchuan raised his hand and did not let him kneel down.

"I heard that the Third Elder was in trouble, so I hurried back and went to see the Immortal Master. He seemed to be injured."

Lin Yan nodded: "Master was plotted against by the devil and suffered serious internal injuries."

It has only been five or six days since the seal was forcibly broken and the battle with Su Jiuyuan was fought. It is not easy to recover.

"It's all my fault. I couldn't..."

Shen Congchuan shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you. How can you stop the devil from doing anything?"

Let alone Lin Yan, even if he was there, he probably couldn't stop it.

"I heard that Cheng Tianhe suddenly broke into Fenghua Garden that day and said a lot of nonsense." Shen Congchuan looked at Lin Yan: "Do you know anything about what he said?"

Lin Yan: "Disciple doesn't know."

He used to think he understood his master, but after going through so much, Lin Yan found that his understanding of his master was only superficial. Even if he knew the subsequent plot, it was just superficial.

Seeing his calm expression, Shen Congchuan sighed undetectably.

"You don't have to take Cheng Tianhe's words to heart."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Yan said, "He attacked me directly after seeing me. If it weren't for A-Bao, I would have lost my life. As a junior, I shouldn't have said anything, but I don't think I made any mistakes, let alone kill him. This shows that he is not upright enough."

[Not only is he not upright enough, he is a shady villain!]

"It's good that you understand." Shen Congchuan asked, "If that's the case, why did you hide from the Immortal Master these two days?"

"Ah?" Lin Yan was at a loss: "I didn't hide." Why did he hide from his master for no reason ? "You didn't hide?" Shen Congchuan was also at a loss. Why did the Immortal Master look so ugly if

he didn't hide? Well, actually there is no change at all. Most people can't see it. He also relies on feeling and feels that Rong Xu is in a bad mood. Lin Yan is ashamed: "Disciple just... likes to lie down." [After fighting for so many days, I am so tired. Can't I lie down for two days? I used to have two days off! ] What double cultivation? He must have heard it wrong. Looking at Lin Yan's serious look, Shen Congchuan was in a trance. Lin Yan said: "Disciple knows his mistake and will go back to practice." [Wuwuwu, I really want to ask what the master thinks about being locked up in the small dark room, but unfortunately the plot has not developed yet. Even if it happens, I dare not ask! ] Shen Congchuan: "..." If he understood correctly, the small dark room in Lin Yan's mouth was related to Lu Li. But he couldn't understand why Lu Li would do such a thing. [I'll ask later. I don't know if I can watch.] Lin Yan started to think wildly again. There was no way. The scenes described in the novel were too intense. Although there were not many words, who doesn't like to see forced love? ! There is a saying that goes, the yandere in the novel is particularly fragrant. In reality, if you encounter one word, run, two words run quickly, and three words run immediately. Shen Congchuan tapped the table with his index finger: "If you don't understand anything, if you can't find the Immortal Venerable, you can ask your senior brother." "Yes." Lin Yan nodded. [I'm awesome, I'm awesome, I'm awesome, the sect leader actually took the initiative to mention the senior brother, the CP I support is real!] Shen Congchuan was speechless again. Lin Yan hurriedly left. He didn't want to be taught. No one likes to be nagged. Fortunately, the master didn't talk much. Fortunately, the master has no personal disciples, otherwise he would be in seclusion every day, and he would not come out if he could. Back at Fenghua Garden, Lin Yan remembered Shen Congchuan's words, turned his foot, and walked directly to Lanxi Courtyard. Before he got close, A Bao jumped out from inside, circled around Lin Yan, and rubbed him crazily. Lin Yan patted A Bao's back, where the hair was thicker, so the master couldn't feel it. At the same time, Rong Xu, who was meditating, opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was just past noon. A-bao didn't like being outside, so he pushed Lin Yan into the shade of the trees. When Rong Xu came out, Lin Yan was standing in the shade of the trees playing with A-bao.

"Master." Lin Yan put away his smile and respectfully performed the disciple's salute. Rong Xu

nodded.

"Master, I'm in great spirits today. I was worried about your injuries. Are you feeling better?" Rong Xu

said, "Nothing serious."

"That's good." Lin Yan looked left and right, but didn't see that Rong Xu was unhappy.

"I was too tired a few days ago and wanted to have a good rest. I didn't deliberately avoid you."

Rong Xu asked, "But did anyone tell you anything?"

"No, how could that be!" Lin Yan smiled, with a hint of guilt in his smile, "I was just afraid that you would misunderstand me."

"Why would you misunderstand me?" Rong Xu asked again.

Lin Yan didn't know how to explain. Should he say that he didn't care about what he had heard and seen before? Wouldn't that be exposing someone's scars? Rong

Xu walked towards the pavilion, and Lin Yan followed. There was a barrier around the pavilion, and it was very cool inside.

Lin Yan said, "I don't care about what the Third Elder said that day. I'm afraid that Master will think that I care."

After saying that, Lin Yan added, "I know what he said is definitely not true. Master has a noble character. How could he do such a thing?"

"Noble character." Rong Xu chewed on these four words: "Everything he said is true."

"Ah?" Lin Yan was surprised. Rong Xu

said, "He was ungrateful and killed his fellow disciples. He killed his master who raised him. These are all true."

Lin Yan said dryly, "Master must have his reasons."

He didn't know how to comfort him. Those lost lives were too heavy. It was not something that could be forgotten with just a word "in the past". Master was suffering so much. Maybe he was trying to atone for the past.

"Even if everything is true, it was definitely not Master's intention." Rong Xu

laughed softly, as if he was mocking himself, but also as if he was laughing bitterly.

"You don't ask why?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "Everyone has a past, and Master's past is even longer. No matter what happened, I believe in you."

A Bao lay beside Lin Yan, humming softly. Rong

Xu: "Do you think your master is too old?"

Lin Yan: "..."

He obviously didn't mean that. Can't get over this joke?

"It's better to be older, so you can be more caring."

Rong Xu was silent, and Lin Yan was also silent. The two looked at each other without saying a word. Lin Yan wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Let you talk bad, let you talk bad, let you talk bad!

After a long while, Rong Xu talked about what happened in the past, which was about three thousand years ago.

Lin Yan almost cried out in surprise. Three thousand years, he knew that his master lived a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so long! Three

thousand years ago, Rong Xu was young and energetic, and he was never merciful in competitions. He became famous in the Canghai Conference. After that, more and more people came to him for competition. He won every battle and became a rare genius in the world of cultivation. At that time, someone asserted that he could seal the remains of the void and save the people in the future.

At that time, the mainland was far from peaceful as it is now. Demons were rampant and slaughtered ordinary people at will. It was better in places where there were sects of cultivation, but in places where they could not be governed, the people suffered terribly.

Born in troubled times, Rong Xu, as a new generation of the cultivation world, had an unshirkable duty to protect the common people. Cheng Tianhe was five years younger than him. Rong Xu was still in the Yuan Infant stage, while Cheng Tianhe was in the Jindan stage.

The two of them trained together, helped the injustice when they saw it, and killed as they went. They didn't know how many demons and monsters they killed. After the training, Rong Xu and Cheng Tianhe returned to the sect, but saw that his master and a group of fellow disciples were killing the people, like puppets, and they couldn't be awakened no matter how they were called.

Rong Xu wanted to knock them out, but it didn't work. They could still move after cutting off their hands and feet, but only when their heads were cut off would the puppets completely lose their vitality.

But if that happened, his fellow apprentices would also have no way to survive.

Seeing his eldest senior brother, who had sworn to protect all living beings in the world, strangled someone's throat alive, Rong Xu closed his eyes and ended this nightmare.

That day, the entire sect was a river of blood. Rong Xu killed 106 people from the sect, covered in blood, and finally found Cheng Tianhe trembling in the corner.

He spliced ​​everyone's heads and bodies together, buried them one by one, knelt in front of his master's tomb for three days, and then took Cheng Tianhe away. Later, he joined the Guiyuan Sect.

Lin Yan was shocked when he heard it, and he couldn't stop the sadness in his eyes. His nose was getting more and more sore. He wanted to cry, but he didn't want to cry in front of Rong Xu.

"Master..."

Master, Master, it is said that once you become a teacher, you become a father for life. Moreover, Master has been going up the mountain since he was a child, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a real father. There is also the elder senior brother who taught him to read, and the junior brothers who practiced with him.

The elder sister who made clothes for him, the junior sister who gave him a purse, so many people died, and they were killed by his own hands. How sad the master must

be. Just thinking about it, Lin Yan felt very distressed. If it were him, he would rather die than do this, but the master had no choice but to watch his fellow disciples harm the people.

Lin Yan grabbed Rong Xu's hand and put his face close to it: "Master, it's not your fault."

"It was those evil cultivators who harmed the master, the uncles and uncles."

The most important thing is that the puppets made from living people later found a way to restore their sanity.
