Just as she hesitated, Tong Leren fell asleep on the eaves again.
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren with his eyes closed, unable to tell what he felt. He looked at him silently and then turned around and continued to stare at the brightly lit street in a daze.
The next day, Tong Le Ren woke up rubbing his head and was still lazy. But when he thought about what happened yesterday, he sat up in shock.
He suddenly looked at Tan Manxing who was sleeping quietly with his arms folded.
yesterday......?
He slowly raised a question mark in his mind. He couldn't quite remember what happened yesterday, but he still had a vague sense of it.
He wasn't sure if it was his dream or if it really happened.
"Damn it."
He couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He actually thought that Tan Manxing had a low alcohol tolerance and could get drunk easily, but as he drank, he forgot that he actually had an average alcohol tolerance, and in the end he was the one who got drunk.
He didn't mean anything else, just said it as he remembered, he wanted to ask what Tan Manxing thought.
He kind of likes Tan Manxing. Who doesn’t love a strong man?
What's more, she is a beautiful and caring person.
But he also knew that he was ordinary and not worthy, so he didn't dare to show anything.
But after what happened to Tan Zhi and Zhou Yixuan, he didn't want to have any regrets, so he had to at least give it a try.
Tan Manxing was a light sleeper and opened his eyes quickly after hearing a slight noise.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Tong Leren next to her rubbing his face hard.
Perhaps her gaze was too strong, Tong Le Ren turned his head and looked over.
"Are you awake?"
His hands were still on his face, and his tone was a little strange because he was pinching so hard.
Only then did he quickly put his hand down.
"Haha, I was drunk yesterday, so I didn't do anything weird, right?"
He smiled awkwardly and spoke as if he didn't care, but his clenched palms still revealed his nervousness.
Tan Manxing casually glanced at his tense arms and shook his head lightly.
"No."
"Huh? Oh no, I didn't ask any weird questions?"
When Tong Le Ren heard this, he was subconsciously stunned, then he reacted and quickly tried to make amends for himself.
"I'm not a good drinker, so if I've offended you in any way, I'm sorry~"
He said this with a silly grin and a fist clasp.
Tan Manxing lowered his head, straightened his clothes and stood up without caring.
"No, since we're all awake, let's go early."
Tong Leren watched Tan Manxing fall over and no longer cared about what happened yesterday. He chased after him at the top of his voice.
"Hey! Manxing, I can't go down alone, come and pick me up~"
More than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
With previous experience, Tan Manxing arrived in Lin Town a few days in advance.
"Alright, Tong Le Ren, I'm here, you can go back now."
I don’t know if it was because of the exposure he made while drunk that day, but Tan Manxing didn’t know how to communicate with him.
As long as Tong Leren didn't speak, she wouldn't take the initiative to find a topic.
Fortunately, she was like this before, so Tong Le Ren didn't notice anything wrong and thought it was a dream. He returned to his usual mean self.
"Manxing, I came all the way here. If I don't just come in and sit down, I should at least see you to the door, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Manxing looked into Tong Leren's eyes and waited quietly for a while.
Those eyes were clear, filled with sincere concern.
"W-What happened?"
Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing's calm eyes, and his ears began to feel hot uncontrollably.
She slowly looked away only after she felt embarrassed that Tong Leren had seen her.
"No need. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the valley. Just send them here."
"Take care, Master Tong."
She didn't give Tong Leren a chance to say anything else, and after she finished speaking, she jumped and disappeared on the spot.
Tong Leren looked at the quiet surroundings and the words got stuck in his throat.
"Miss Tan, I haven't told you my feelings yet..."
At this moment he had some doubts that what happened that day was actually real and not a dream.
He didn't expect the separation to be so hasty, and for a moment he regretted why he was so hesitant and entangled on the road.
This is Tan Manxing's side.
After she left, she quickly came to the outskirts and kept jumping towards the depths of the forest. She walked around in circles for a long time and came to a distance that ordinary people could not get close to. She stopped, activated the mechanism with the token and walked to a dense bamboo forest. Then, according to the Bagua formation, she walked to the correct position.
After returning to the valley, she did not rest and went to the main hall immediately.
After a few months, she walked into the hall again and knelt in the middle of the red carpet, quietly waiting for the instructions from Master Tan above the hall.
"Master, I'm back."
When Master Tan heard the familiar bell sound, he waited quietly for a while before opening his eyes, calmly looking at Tan Manxing who was kneeling in the hall.
The clothes were still the same ones he had worn a few months earlier, but they lacked a bit of the cool aura.
"Axing, where's Azhi?"
She looked at Tan Manxing and asked calmly.
"Master, please forgive me for not being able to bring my junior sister back."
Tan Manxing bowed his head and apologized.
"Really?"
Her tone was a little light. After she finished talking to herself, she looked leisurely at the box in Tan Manxing's hand. After using her internal force to take the box, she continued to ask.
"Axing, did you leave the tomb by force?"
"Master, it was opened with a key."
Tan Manxing understood what her master meant by asking this question and answered with her head lowered respectfully.
"Where did Azhi go?"
When Master Tan heard this answer, he looked at the beads in the box and gave a wry smile of nostalgia.
This thing has no magical power. It is just a gift from the frontier given to her by General Li.
