Helian Hongzhan picked up Rong Qing and leaned against his arms, carefully checked the latter for any injuries, and finally found that there was no other serious problem except for the damaged clothes and some minor abrasions, so he was a little relieved.
Rong Qing woke up leisurely, and after seeing Helian Hongzhan, his somewhat confused eyes gradually became focused, "Master?"
He Lian Hongzhan's expression was slightly cold, and he slapped Rong Qing on the forehead, "Where have you been running for so long?"
"Ouch!" Rong Qing covered his head with his hands in pain, but still smiled flatteringly, "This is beyond my control. I originally wanted to hide away when Master was fighting with the giant python. I tried my best to avoid holding back Master, but somehow I was hit by a powerful force and passed out."
Helian Hongzhan looked at Rong Qing coldly, "Are you going to tell me that you saw me right after you woke up?"
"No, no," Rong Qing hurriedly waved his hands, "When I woke up, I found myself in a cave, and there was a snake slough of the Chilian King Snake and some magic weapons next to it. At that time, there was no one in the cave except me. The Chilian King Snake went out, so he took his things and left quickly, without thinking about how he got there."
Rong Qing took off the storage bag and put it in Helian Hongzhan's hands. Originally, he didn't intend to monopolize these things, but Helian Hongzhan was so anxious to find him that he could give them all. And when he took a rough look before, he found that there was a green thunder ring inside, which, combined with Helian Hongzhan's single thunder root attribute, could withstand an attack from a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which was a good thing that could save his life at a critical moment.
He Lian Hongzhan took the storage bag, glanced at it and didn't look at it again, but still accepted it. This was the first time a disciple offered tribute to his master, and he couldn't refuse it no matter what the reason. And he didn't think there would be any good things in it, even if there were, he would pass them on to his disciples in the future.
"And after that?"
"After that? Uh... After that, oh, after that, I left that cave to look for Master. When I got here, I suddenly felt so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, so it was like lying down and sleeping for a while. I didn't expect to open it again after falling asleep. I saw Master right away, so happy!"
A lie full of loopholes, Helian Hongzhan can raise a lot of questions just for questioning. But he didn't do that, because Rong Qing said that when he opened his eyes, he could see Master was very happy, as long as the words were true. Helian Hongzhan would never admit that his heart beat inexplicably faster when he heard these words.
"Since you got the snake slough, hurry out and see how miserable you are!"
Rong Qing smiled, "Master's lesson is that my current appearance is embarrassing to Master, but fortunately I have confiscated any injuries, otherwise I will trouble Master to worry about it."
Helian Hongzhan snorted, "It's good that you know, since you're not hurt, get up quickly, and don't lie in my arms."
Rong Qing's face was slightly red, he lowered his head and curled his lips. It was obvious that Helian Hongzhan held him in his arms at the beginning, but now it seems that he is holding on to it.
Helian Hongzhan summoned the flying sword, took Rong Qing's hand and stood up together.
Rong Qing was glad that the other party finally stopped holding him by the collar like he was treating a little boy, which was a good thing.
Helian Hongzhan stood in the front, Rong Qing stood in the back, put his hand on Helian Hongzhan's shoulder to prevent himself from falling down, "Did you see a little green snake in the fantasy sea forest?"
"Ah?" Rong Qing, who was already immersed in his own thoughts, was startled when he heard Helian Hongzhan's question, and almost didn't react, "Little green snake? What little green snake? I didn't see it, I didn't Seeing the red king snake, where can I see the green snake? Oh, I remembered, you said before that you had a little green snake that got lost, what? You saw it in the fantasy sea forest? Although the magic sea There are many monsters in the forest, but it should be very powerful if it can go in alone. Isn't it?"
Helian Hongzhan didn't answer, he was sure that the little guy took him to find Rong Qing on purpose, but why? Why did the little guy leave in a hurry without even stopping to speak to him? Even if he was planning something, could it be that he really didn't even have the time to say a word
The more he thought about it, the worse his mood became. Fortunately, Helian Hongzhan didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, he just knew that the little guy was safe, and other things... just let him.
In fact, if Helian Hongzhan was a little more careful, he would find that what Rong Qing said just now was not only a bit too much, but also a bit out of line, as if he said so much deliberately for nervousness.
And Rong Qing was not overjoyed by Helian Hongzhan's indifference. He saw clearly just now that Helian Hongzhan's eyes were scarlet red, which was a sign of being invaded by a demon. Obviously affected by miasma.
But Helian Hongzhan has always had a firm heart, and he is not someone who is easily affected by the miasma and becomes a demon. After thinking about it, the only possibility is that his disappearance made Helian Hongzhan lose control of his emotions, which aggravated the danger of the miasma. influence, causing the demons to take advantage of it.
A few days ago, he saw that Helian Hongzhan showed signs of breakthrough, and within half a year, he would definitely reach the golden elixir late stage Dzogchen, and then he would be ready to conceive a baby. But if one is influenced by the inner demon, the birth of the baby must be extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility that the baby will fail.
It seems that the refining of Qingxin Pill is urgent, and the alchemy furnace must be started immediately after the competition is over.
After leaving the Illusory Sea Forest, Rong Qing and He Lian Hongzhan noticed that there were already many people outside, many of them were injured, and judging from their dejected looks, they probably didn't get the snake slough either.
Ouyang Jing also came out, he was the only one who got the snake slough among those who came out early, and he had handed it over to the head for evaluation. But everyone could still tell at a glance that the snake slough in Helian Hongzhan's hand was much bigger than Ouyang Jing's, it looked like the difference between clothes and quilts.
He Lian Hongzhan handed the snake slough to the head, and briefly talked about the process of getting the snake slough. This process was naturally made up by him, and it was a hundred times more credible than Rong Qing's. At the same time, he also concealed the fact that Rong Qing had obtained a cave treasure, so there was no need for his apprentice's things to be handed over to the sect.
For Helian Hongzhan, the Lingyun faction is just a base in his life, just like an inn on the side of the road. What he got from Lingyun has been paid off in the past missions. What is the head of Lingyun? He knows this kind of person very well, so he doesn't want Rong Qing and Ling Yun to get too involved.
He Lian Hongzhan, who had finished speaking with the head of the sect, turned around and saw Ouyang Jing walking up to Rong Qing at some point and talking to him, with his right hand still on Rong Qing's shoulder. The clothes on Rong Qing's left shoulder happened to be torn, revealing the tender and smooth skin inside, and Ouyang Jing's hand directly pressed on it. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as "skin-to-skin dating".
He Lian Hongzhan's face darkened immediately, and as he walked over quickly, he took out a robe of his own from the storage bag and put it on Rong Qing, "Don't run around when the clothes are torn, isn't it pretty? "
Rong Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Helian Hongzhan in surprise. A moment ago, he was a little touched because the other party put on a robe for him. The clothes hadn't been warmed yet, and he just scolded him. What is he doing? And he has been standing here without moving, why did he run around
Ouyang Jing looked at Rong Qing with an embarrassing and helpless smile, and looked at Helian Hongzhan with disapproval: "Junior Brother Helian's words are too much, Rong Qing was injured, you, as a master You should be comforted, how can you be so unkind?" Helian Hongzhan sneered, "Rong Qing is my disciple, how I teach my disciples is my business, I don't need Senior Brother Ouyang to advise. If Senior Brother thinks about teaching disciples If you are addicted to it, just accept one, I believe there are many people who are willing to worship Brother Ouyang as their teacher."
Ouyang Jing looked cold: "I don't want to take in an apprentice, but I just think that since you took the initiative to take Rong Qing as an apprentice, you should treat him better."
"Senior Brother Ouyang is serious," Rong Qing said with a dull smile, "Master treats me very well. In fact, sometimes you don't have to be kind and kind to be a good master. Eight lifetimes of bloody misfortune" Ouyang Jing stared blankly, Rong Qing's smiling eyes seemed to have a kind of deep indifference and solemn hatred, but in the blink of an eye again, he felt that Rong Qing was no different from usual, it was he who just saw wrong
Helian Hongzhan turned his head and glanced at Rong Qing, the wrinkles between his brows piled up, "What's that expression on your face? Laugh if you want to, and don't if you don't. What are you doing so gloomy? Do you want to learn from me?"
"...Master..."
This time Rong Qing really couldn't laugh or cry, but the haze between his brows also dissipated.
Ouyang Jing looked back and forth between Rong Qing and Helian Hongzhan, but finally said nothing.
An hour later, all the contestants came out one after another. The Chijin Tianshui Clock was all there without a single strike, and almost all of them died. The fantasy sea forest is still extremely dangerous for most people.
Zhu Wuguo, Zhang Jiang and others finally came out, all of them were ashamed, as if they had been burned.
"I really don't know which wicked person actually set fire to the Illusory Sea Forest and burned a Chilian King Snake to death, what a waste of nature!
Zhang Jiang, who was following Zhu Wuguo, also grinned loudly, raised his hand to wipe his face, and suddenly made a few more black and white, which looked very funny.
Zhu Wuguo was still angry, and yelled at the open space, "Originally, I could kill the snake to get the treasure, but now it's good, chickens fly to the egg, if I let me know that some bastard in Ling Yongfeng set the refining fire and burned the snake that I finally injured. How can I deal with him!" "That's right! Maybe the person who set the refining fire knew that it was the snake that Senior Brother Zhu injured, so he intentionally reduced the scope and only used the refining fire to burn the Chilian King Snake, and burned nothing else. Go! It must be another person who is jealous of Senior Brother Zhu's unrivaled talent!"
Many people around also echoed what Zhu Wuguo and Zhang Jiang said, expressing their pity.
