Chapter 180 Teaching the Dharma
Chapter 180 Teaching the Dharma
On the way to the Qingluan Holy Land, Jiang Wanying suddenly stopped and looked back with worry.
"I don't know if Master will take Achuan with him." She murmured to herself, her voice full of worry.
"I think so, after all..."
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, various possible scenarios constantly emerging in her mind.
After thinking for a while, she sighed lightly, and finally gritted her teeth and chose to continue moving towards the Qingluan Holy Land.
……
Feeling that something was wrong, Lin Chuan immediately opened his eyes and saw that he was standing on a flying sword, while Xu Hanyi was standing with his back to him without saying a word.
"Master?!"
Lin Chuan called softly, with a hint of confusion and surprise in his voice.
"Yeah." Xu Hanyi responded lightly.
"Didn't Master tell me to figure it out on my own?"
Looking at Xu Hanyi who suddenly changed his mind, Lin Chuan's eyes flashed with cunning and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"I... I thought Ying'er would take care of you." Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Master..."
Lin Chuan suddenly hugged Xu Hanyi and gently rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Chuan...Chuan'er, please let me go."
Xu Hanyi struggled slightly, trying to break free from Lin Chuan's arms.
"Master, have you forgotten what you said to me that night?"
Lin Chuan put his lips close to Xu Hanyi's ear, his voice as soft as a breeze, and the warm breath gently ruffled Xu Hanyi's hair.
"I……"
Xu Hanyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his face full of confusion. His usually cold face was now tinged with a bit of panic.
"Chuan'er, don't be like this. Ying'er will be sad."
She turned her head slightly, her voice filled with helplessness and bitterness, as if she was caught in a dilemma. She wanted to push Lin Chuan away, but was reluctant to do so. She could only use such words to try to make Lin Chuan loosen his arms, but when the words came out, even she felt a little powerless.
"When Master first expressed his feelings, he was not so hesitant." Lin Chuan said softly, his voice gentle but with a hint of peculiar stubbornness.
"Ying'er wasn't here at the time. I thought that as long as I could get Chuan'er before Ying'er, I could explain it to Ying'er and compensate her in other ways."
"After seeing Ying'er, the more Ying'er showed that she liked Chuan'er, the more guilty and uneasy I felt. I felt like a thief, a thief who stole my own apprentice's man."
"Master doesn't want Ying'er to be sad, nor does he want Chuan'er to be caught in the middle, so..."
"Chuan'er, just think of it as a mistake your teacher made before. Forget about it all and spend time with Ying'er from now on."
Xu Hanyi's eyes were red, and he said a lot in one breath, as if he wanted to pour out all the guilt and helplessness in his heart. The trembling voice echoed in the silent air, revealing endless sadness and reluctance.
"Master..."
Lin Chuan called out distressedly, slowly stretching out his hand, and gently wiping the tears from Xu Hanyi's face with his fingers with careful tenderness.
"Master, have you ever thought about why Senior Sister refused to take me with her?"
After wiping away the tears, Lin Chuan hugged Xu Hanyi again, put his mouth close to Xu Hanyi's slightly hot ear, and asked softly.
“At that time, I thought Ying’er was trying to test my attitude towards you, so I didn’t take you with me from the beginning and let you find a way to go back on your own.
"But Ying'er didn't appear until you entered the teleportation array. Only then did I understand her feelings."
"But the more this happens, the more I, as a teacher, cannot let Ying'er down."
"Ying'er has always been very soft-hearted since she was a child, but being soft-hearted doesn't mean she doesn't care about these things."
"Chuan'er should understand what the master said, right?"
Xu Hanyi took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly. She tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and tried to make her voice steady, but the slight tremor was still mixed in.
"I don't want to understand."
Lin Chuan's tone was filled with stubbornness as he shook his head slightly. He still held Xu Hanyi stubbornly, his arms tightening a little.
"..."
Xu Hanyi gently closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and affection from the strong hands around him, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Well, whatever. After all, I was wrong first. I'll obey you this time. But don't do this again when you go back."
After a long time, she sighed helplessly, and the sigh was full of compromise and indulgence. It seemed that she knew that such indulgence was wrong, but at this moment she could not bear to refuse. She could only go along with Lin Chuan for the time being and put aside the troubles in the future.
"Master~"
"Traitor, keep your hands... your hands still!"
……
Monster clan.
In front of the solemn ancestral hall where the tablets of the Demon Kings of all generations were stored, Demon King Ye Wutan knelt straight on the ground with a respectful look on his face. Even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"How's the matter going?" A hoarse and somewhat eerie voice, as if emerging from the darkness, slowly spread around the quiet ancestral hall.
"Reporting to the ancestor, fifty people were sent out, and eleven returned, and they did not find what the ancestor was looking for."
Ye Wutan lowered his head, his voice a little nervous, not daring to look up in the direction where the voice came from.
"A bunch of trash!"
The hoarse voice suddenly rose a few pitches, revealing endless anger and resentment, as if to ignite the air around it. It echoed back and forth in the ancestral hall, shaking the shelf where the tablets were placed and even seeming to tremble slightly.
"Ancestor, please calm down. This trip to the ruins was not due to any incompetence on their part. Rather, they encountered a Tribulation Realm monster that feeds exclusively on flesh and blood."
Ye Wutan hurriedly raised his head, his face full of panic. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead slid down his cheeks, but he didn't bother to wipe them off and explained at a very fast speed.
"Monsters? Then how did they get out?"
The hoarse voice sounded again, full of doubt and questioning, as if examining the truthfulness of Ye Wutan's words.
"I asked them, but they didn't know anything. It was just spread out without any clear reason."
Ye Wutan responded hurriedly, his voice full of helplessness, his brows tightly furrowed, and his face full of bitterness.
"Bring them here."
"Yes!"
Ye Wutan responded respectfully, then quickly clapped his hands.
Not long after, eleven young demon boys walked in.
There was still a look of shock on their faces, their bodies were trembling slightly, their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and they stood there trembling, not daring to make a sound.
"Enter the ancestral hall. The ancestor will teach you the Dharma. If you can catch it, you will soar into the sky. If you can't catch it, you will die."
