Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Looks like I don't need to sleep tonight...

"Yanyan."

Lin Yan was suddenly pulled into Rong Xu's arms. Rong Xu held him tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his body. Lin Yan struggled for a few times, but couldn't push him away, so he gave up.

"Master."

"Hush, don't talk." Rong Xu put his head on Lin Yan's shoulder: "Let me hold you for a while."

Lin Yan obediently fell silent, slowly put his hands on Rong Xu's back, and hugged him back.

After holding on for a while, Lin Yan's neck felt sore and he moved uncomfortably. Rong Xu stepped back and said, "Turn around, I'll rub it for you."

Lin Yan was flattered and said, "No, no, I'm fine..."

"Master, can you take me with you when you go to Lihuojian?"

Lin Yan's cheeks were flushed. Master had a cold personality, but his embrace was very warm. When he first came to this strange world, he was not able to adapt. He couldn't tell the sadness in his heart. It was better when he arrived at Fenghua Garden.

However, he still felt a lot of anxiety. If it weren't for Master, he wouldn't have been able to adapt quickly. It seemed that as long as Rong Xu was there, he didn't have to worry about anything.

"I want to go too. I've never seen such a strange sight. It must be spectacular. I know Master is worried about my safety, but if Su Jiuyuan wants to do something, only you can protect me."

Rong Xu said, "You and your brothers and sisters have other missions."

"What mission?" Lin Yan asked. Shang Zhuoyun didn't mention it at all during the day. Rong Xu

pulled Lin Yan to sit down: "After you were taken away, the sect master and the sect masters or elders of other sects formulated a countermeasure. The specific matters will not be explained in detail. You just need to follow Zhuoyun and the others."

"Then...what about half a month later?" Lin Yan frowned. Even if they were practicing dual cultivation now, the two of them could not be separated for more than half a month, otherwise the curse would be activated.

Rong Xu shook his head: "It's okay."

"After I get the things, I will look for you as soon as possible."

"But..." Lin Yan was interrupted by Rong Xu as soon as he opened his mouth: "No buts, Yanyan, don't act impulsively, everything is based on your life, do you understand?" Rong Xu

's tone was serious, and Lin Yan was panicked, with a feeling of impending storm.

"Is the war going to start?"

Rong Xu did not answer directly: "Everything is destined."

If Su Jiuyuan was more obedient, he might be able to turn a blind eye. As long as the demon cultivators did not go too far, the two worlds would naturally live in peace.

In the end, he thought too simply and underestimated Su Jiuyuan's obsession.

In this case, it is better to solve it early and eliminate the trouble forever.

Lin Yan bit her lip: "So... everyone is trying to protect me?"

"Not just you." Rong Xu said: "Su Jiuyuan was targeting me. You are innocent for being implicated. Besides, he allowed the evil cultivators to wantonly destroy villages and kill humans. We can't sit idly by."

Lin Yan nervously grabbed Rong Xu's hand: "But these are not Master's fault."

"Master has been practicing hard all these years. Is it because... of guilt?"

He felt guilty for abandoning part of his soul, guilty for those souls absorbing evil spirits and cultivating into human form, and even more guilty for not being able to control Su Jiuyuan. The people harmed by Su Jiuyuan would take root in Master's heart and would never go away.

Rong Xu lowered his eyes: "You know everything."

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded: "Although he is also you, he gives me the feeling of two completely different individuals. I can't treat him as you. He has his own personality and thoughts. Everything he did has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault."

"If there is to be atonement, it should be him who atones."

Rong Xu did nothing wrong. He had made the best choice at that time.

"Yanyan." Rong Xu looked into Lin Yan's eyes, which were filled with unreserved trust.

"I used to think that some things were beyond human control."

"Until you showed up."

"I was born in a quiet and peaceful town. My father was the mayor of the town and my mother was from a family of scholars. Although they were married by a family alliance, they lived in harmony after marriage, which was considered a good story."

His memory of his childhood was vague. These things were told to him by his master after he grew up. What he remembered most clearly was the swing under the tree and a smooth cane.

His grandmother's cane.

He couldn't remember what his grandmother looked like, but the cane became clearer and clearer.

"When I was three years old, someone froze the entire city. Of the 1,230 people, no one escaped except me."

The reason why Rong Xu was not frozen at that time was because he had awakened his ice spirit root. His high talent allowed him to seek a way out, and then he was picked up by his master.

"I have tried to spy on the secrets of heaven many times. Perhaps, I should have stayed in the void."

This way, the things that happened later would not happen again. He was too greedy and wanted to change the predetermined ending.

"Don't think about it." Lin Yan asked: "Master, have you been so beautiful since you were born?"

Rong Xu was stunned, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and scratched Lin Yan's nose.

Lin Yan's face was full of seriousness: "Master must have been very cute when he was a child, even cuter than A-Po."

Just thinking about it made him melt.

"I saw A-Po when he was a child, with big watery eyes, hugging me and refusing to let go. Did Master also hug me and act coquettishly when he was a child?"

To be honest, he really wanted to see Rong Xu act coquettishly.

Lin Yan's eyes were surprisingly bright, and they were twinkling inside. It was easy to guess what he was thinking.

"Want to see me act coquettishly?"

Lin Yan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Rong Xu smiled and said, "Looks like you don't need to sleep tonight."

...

When Lin Yan opened his eyes the next day, Rong Xu had already left. The quilt beside him was cold. Maybe his master went down the mountain not long after he fell asleep.

His body felt a little sore. He and his master hadn't practiced together for a long time since he was taken away by Su Jiuyuan, so he was not used to it.

Lin Yan turned over lazily, and just put on his inner clothes and his pants, Lin Qi kicked the door in from outside.

"Sister!"

Lin Yan was startled and hurriedly covered himself with the quilt. He was still naked!

"The sun is shining on your butt, and you still don't get up." Lin Qi frowned: "What's that smell?"

Lin Yan's face flushed, and she clenched her fingers. Last night... well, the smell must not be particularly pleasant.

"Is the incense lit? What kind of spices are these?"

Lin Qi stared at the smoke rising from the incense burner, and went up to smell it: "It smells so good, like peach blossoms."

"I don't know, Master lit it." Lin Yan continued to hide in the quilt.

"Immortal?" Lin Qi trotted to the bed and saw her brother curled up at the foot of the bed, his face red as if blood was dripping: "No way, you are still practicing dual cultivation at this critical moment?" Lin Qi's

eyes moved down and saw the red marks on Lin Yan's body that he had not had time to clean.

"Sister!" Lin Yan tried to cover it, but the collar of her clothes was a bit big and it couldn't cover it at all.

Lin Yan simply gave up. The master always left marks on him, all kinds of marks. Last time, he bit his neck and didn’t allow him to remove them. It took several days for the teeth marks to fade slowly. It didn’t hurt much

, but he could feel it when his clothes rubbed against it, which made him blush and his heart beat fast every time.
