23. Estrangement

Li Xingchen and Tai Chao froze in the water.

Rong Tianhan took two more steps closer, and his voice was as cold and elegant as usual. "What are you two doing?"

Li Xingchen suddenly found that he was completely fruitful, and the water in this pool was crystal clear, and he could see every bit of the water clearly. Little by little, he raised his head, and his cervical spine clicked. "Former ...... Master, we just climbed up from the ground, and our clothes are dirty, so ......" He carefully observed the face of his senior, but the senior was still the same cold appearance for ten thousand years, and his eyes, which could reveal a little bit of affection, were lowered at the moment, and his long eyelashes covered all the details.

Rong Tianhan noticed the two sticky, dirty, and broken unidentified objects at his feet, and couldn't help frowning and taking two steps back. "Hurry up after washing."

Li Xingchen hurriedly nodded and agreed: "I'll go up immediately." He casually wiped the spider silk off his arm, covered his little brother, and climbed ashore.

Tai Chaoning shook his water-soaked hair, a little dissatisfied. "Why are you in such a hurry? We're all out of danger anyway......"

Li Xingchen found another problem - he has no clothes to wear! Do you want to ...... String the leaves into a bunch around your waist and barely cover your body first?

Tai Chaoning was lying on the edge of the pool, seeing him so embarrassed, he laughed nonsense. "Just naked, we are big men, what are you afraid of?" As he spoke, he took out a robe from the mustard seed ring and threw it at Li Xingchen's feet, "You wear mine first." ā€

Rong Tianhan snorted coldly, and put another light cyan brocade coat on Li Xingchen's face.

Li Xingchen was stunned holding the clothes Rong Tianhan gave him, and quickly reacted and handed back Tai Chaoning's robe. "Thank you, I still have spare clothes."

"Okay, good," Tai Chao Ning stood up, countless droplets of water rolling down his muscular chest. He picked up his robe and put his hand over his shoulders...... But it didn't work! The one that should be covered does not fall out to the outside.

And Li Xingchen's first thought was: Don't let your predecessors look at him! He hurriedly put on his clothes and grabbed Rong Tianhan's sleeve, turned around and walked back, away from this pervert with exhibitionism. "Senior, I thought I wouldn't see you until I left the Spirit Mansion!"

Rong Tianhan turned around obediently and tilted his head slightly: "I didn't know that you were actually with him." ā€

Ha? For a while, countless speculations poured into Li Xingchen's mind, and he pondered and said, "I just met him on the road, and his cultivation is acceptable...... Didn't you also say that Haotian Alliance at least maintained a benevolent and righteous face on the surface? ā€

Rong Tianhan's inky black pupils swept across his handsome face. "Not long ago, you decisively rejected his invitation."

Li Xingchen was so anxious that his palms slipped, and his palms slid away from the sleeves of his clothes. He held Rong Tianhan's hand in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Senior, Xingchen really just used him to explore the way and block the sword, and he never meant to make friends at all. Xingchen has long said that this life belongs to the predecessors, if the predecessors don't believe it, you can cut out the heart of the stars and take a look! ā€

Rong Tianhan's hand is like the ice that has not melted for thousands of years in the snow peak, and it can't be hot no matter what. "Do you know that people who casually swear with their lives are the least trustworthy?"

At this moment, even Li Xingchen's hands became cold, he trembled his thin lips that faded from blood, and said in a low voice: "Xingchen treats each other wholeheartedly, the seniors don't believe it, and Xingchen is also ...... Be at one's wits' end. ā€

"Hey! Don't ignore me! Tai Chaoning, who was following the two of them and concentrating on tying his clothes, felt that he was caught off guard and was shown off. Oops, I know that the two of you don't see each other for a day, like every three autumns, but can you not be so entangled. ā€

Rong Tianhan finally glanced at Li Xingchen's serious and focused eyes and took a few steps forward. "Come with me."

Li Xingchen's heartstrings, which had been tense, finally relaxed for a moment. It turns out that it is not easy to disguise the appearance of true feelings, and sometimes pretending to be a little confused and unable to distinguish the true from the false.

Tai Chaoning was confused, he looked left and right, and quickly stepped forward and hooked up with Li Xingchen's shoulder: "Li Daoyou, are you okay?" I don't think your face is good. He bit Li Xingchen's ear and said.

"......" Rong Tianhan turned his head and looked at the two people who were close to nature. Tai Chaoning leaned his mouth against Li Xingchen's ear, and the distance between them was about equal to nothing.

Li Xingchen hurriedly pulled his hand off his shoulder, his heart was full of despair: It's over, it's over, the seniors originally had the intention of letting him go, but now ......

Rong Tianhan didn't say anything, he just walked in front silently, leading him and Tai Chaoning into the forest temple. There are some things, and I really have to take the time to beat Li Xingchen. If you cultivate him for half a day, you will fall short in the end, isn't it a great loss?

"I have something to say to you," Rong Tianhan walked away from Tai Chaoning, sat on a pineapple wooden chair in the temple, and said slowly, "It's my negligence that I forgot that you are about to become an adult." But I have a very important requirement for the exercises I have given you, and you must abide by them. ā€

"What requirements?" Li Xingchen asked cautiously.

"This exercise emphasizes the restraint of spiritual energy, so before the Yuan Infant, it is not allowed to do double cultivation."

"Double-double?" Li Xingchen blushed to the root of his ears, "I—I won't...... Rest assured, I will definitely abide by this. ā€

Rong Tianhan snorted and said, "It's easy to promise, but it's hard to do." Countless monks in this Cangmeng realm can't escape this level, and their Dao hearts are unstable, which makes it difficult to advance in the future, and it is even difficult to take a step forward when they run out of life in this life. ā€œ

"Xingchen will never live up to the expectations of his predecessors!" Li Xingchen lowered his head, but his eyes only looked at the braid he had braided by himself, and hung quietly on the side of the chair. It's really strange to say, Rong Tianhan was originally a lonely person, but Li Xingchen always had the illusion that his predecessors were also cute.

It's just a delusion. He sighed silently in his heart.

"Huh? What are the expectations? Tai Chaoning, who had been circling around the temple, just heard Li Xingchen's last two words, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Rong Tianhan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his narrow phoenix eyes flickering. "Taidaoyou, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Tai Chao Ning waved his hand, "You can just call me Chao Ning." ā€

Chao Ning? Li Xingchen snorted coldly, he had been grinding his predecessors for so long, and he was close to everything, and he was meticulous in every detail, so that his seniors affectionately called him Xingchen. This Tai Chaoning is really a self-cooked, and he is not afraid of embarrassment in front of anyone. I don't want to think about the seniors who hate him so much, how can they call him Chao Ning?
