"Don't force yourself. Check out the free reading site at www.kàn..ge.lA."
Just when he was about to fall flat on his face, Ren Suo felt his shoulders and waist being firmly supported.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ren Suo turned around and said, "Thank you, Cheng Ling."
Dong Chengling seemed to have not taken a shower yet. He was wearing a white shirt and slim jeans, but the skin on his face was snow-white, and it looked even whiter under the white street lights in the dormitory building, as if he had not sweated or produced any oil all day.
It seems that monks, especially female monks, become more beautiful as their cultivation level increases - this is true for Qiao Muyi, Dong Chengling and others.
But the male cultivators that Ren Suo knew became more and more stupid as their cultivation level increased. The closest ones were Zhao Huo, and the distant ones were Yu Kuangtu. Only Bai Ji was relatively good.
I should be more careful when making friends in the future, Ren Suo thought.
Zhao Huo was a little surprised: "I didn't see you, Teacher Dong, when I drove over here just now."
"I saw you on the balcony and teleported down." Dong Chengling said.
"...It's quite convenient." At this time, Zhao Huo said, "That's perfect. I'm going to drive to the parking lot. Teacher Dong, please help Ren Suo get up."
"good."
Ren Suo stood up with all his strength and said, "Actually, I can go up there by myself..."
"Let's go." Dong Chengling grabbed Ren Suo's hand. Ren Suo didn't dare to move at that moment and obediently let her support him and walk.
The scene of Dong Chengling slitting throats with his bare hands and crushing the coffee table with his palms is still vivid in my mind.
"Did you encounter something serious when you were in Pazhou at noon?" Dong Chengling asked, "Is your current state related to those people?"
Ren Suo shook his head: "I have been practicing too hard these days. I accidentally hurt myself when casting a spell in the stage play. It's okay. I have healed myself."
It is common to injure oneself when casting a spell. Lin Xianyu's hands were covered with scars because of the awakening spell. Dong Chengling did not doubt it and asked, "Don't you need to go to the hospital? It's okay for me to go with you now."
"I am a healing monk." Ren Suo changed the subject: "How do you know that Zhao Huo and I went to Pazhou?"
"Little Joe told me."
"No wonder we met her."
"Xiao Qiao said you wanted to touch her porcelain."
"I just happened to have a spell injury at that time. It's not my fault."
…
After returning home, Dong Chengling poured a glass of water for Ren Suo. Ren Suo looked around the house and asked, "Hey, Xingmei hasn't come back yet?"
"The arduous training class has a very tight schedule and it lasts for two consecutive days. She should have returned to the dormitory." Dong Chengling said.
"Ah." Ren Suo remembered that his sister went to the training class after cooking breakfast in the morning: "Thank you, Cheng Ling."
"This is my responsibility." Dong Chengling said, "By the way, Ren Suo, do you remember that I went into seclusion to practice earlier this month?"
"Huh? I remember." Ren Suo remembered clearly that he sent his clone to buy takeout every day during those days.
“I don’t know why, but my cultivation went very smoothly during those few days, and I had no pressure in running the three levels of the Qi circulation. But after a few days, I no longer had that feeling…” Dong Chengling said, “It was as if someone was blessing me during those days.”
Ren Suo's mind moved, and he remembered the last scene in "High Energy Ahead": the villagers threw their cherished things into the bonfire and prayed for their relatives who were still alive...
Does it really work?
"So how are your parents doing lately?" Ren Suo asked.
"They are very nice. They even took a leave to travel this month..." Dong Chengling smiled faintly:
"She took photos every day and showed them to me. She said she hoped I would bring them with me...she hoped I could go with her."
They drank water and chatted like this, with Dong Chengling doing most of the talking and Ren Suo joining in. Before they knew it, an hour had passed.
Ren Suo looked at the time and wondered why Dong Chengling suddenly became so talkative today. He said, "I'm sorry to have taken up a lot of your time today. I'm free now. Why don't you go back first?"
"No delay."
Um?
Ren Suo was slightly stunned by Dong Chengling's quick reply.
Dong Chengling turned her head to look at the sofa, letting her hair cover her face so that Ren Suo wouldn't notice her blushing face. "You still feel pain all over your body, right? What if you bump into something while walking and fall down and can't find anyone to help you? What should you do then?"
"I am also a monk after all..."
"You are now a patient who has difficulty even walking."
Dong Chengling, who had calmed down, looked at Ren Suo and said seriously, "It's too dangerous for you to do this. Monks are just mortals. Don't take risks unless necessary. Otherwise, I'll send you to the hospital and let the nurse take care of you."
Ren Suo immediately shook his head - he didn't want to go to the hospital.
"Or I can stay here for one night, so that if anything happens to you tonight, I can take care of you."
"Huh!?" Ren Suo didn't know what expression to make for a moment, and after a while he replied, "Why don't I ask Zhao Huo to come over and stay for a night..."
Dong Chengling's eyes flashed with a cold light that Ren Suo could not see. He immediately turned his head, sighed slightly, and whispered, "Okay...if you think this is better...Ren Suo, I'm just worried about you."
Dong Chengling’s response: “Distance” and “Retention”.
Ren Suo regretted it immediately. Didn't he say that because he thought Dong Chengling was untrustworthy? He just subconsciously refused the opportunity to be in the same room with a girl - a common problem among monk major graduates.
Moreover, Dong Chengling and he have a level 4 bond, which is a very practical bond, so Ren Suo naturally distanced himself from Dong Chengling because of this.
"...but you didn't change your clothes..." Ren Suo felt like he had said something nonsense halfway through his sentence.
"I'll go get it now." Dong Chengling said as he stood up and walked straight out the door, leaving Ren Suo with a confused look on his face.
Dong Chengling entered the elevator, leaned against the wall and let out a soft breath.
"What's wrong with me..."
Dong Chengling held his forehead slightly: "I am not a person who does not know self-control..."
She had never been a talkative person, but tonight she had talked to Ren Suo for a long time without realizing it. They talked about cultivation and family, and she was the one talking while Ren Suo was listening.
But as long as Ren Suo responded with a sentence or two, Dong Chengling would feel his heart leaping with joy - it was as if he had successfully completed the fourth level of the circulation of Qi.
It seems that Ren Suo has become very different today, and has become very... cute?
At this time, Dong Chengling remembered something, took out his cell phone, and told Qiao Muyi what had just happened.
Qiao Muyi was the first person to know that Ren Suo was temporarily disabled. When she told Dong Chengling the news, she suggested that Dong Chengling take care of Ren Suo for one night. Even from a friend's perspective, this move was understandable - the patient did need care.
After a while, Xiao Qiao replied: "Come on, take down this idiot quickly, it's taking too long!"
Dong Chengling: “Not very long.”
Xiao Qiao: "I can't guarantee that there won't be other episodes in the future... things could get out of hand if you delay."
Xiao Qiao: "Did anything unexpected happen?"
Accident? Dong Chengling thought of a name and replied, "Yes, but it's okay."
At this moment, Zhao Huo, who had just finished taking a shower at home and was enjoying the cool breeze on the balcony while watching anime on his tablet, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
“Hmm…?” Zhao Huo touched the back of his neck, turned his head and looked outside, but saw nothing.
Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes, added "spirit and enhanced vision" to his eyes, and looked towards the hill on the other side of Tianlian College.
I saw nothing.
He seemed to have seen nine tails leaping through the woods just now... he must have seen it wrong.
How could I encounter so many mysterious events in one day?
