“…… I thought the kid was fine? Kong Liu looked at Xiao Zibai, who had always hugged Hua Yu's big bird, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The head of the Lingshan Sword Sect coughed twice in embarrassment, flew below and tried to talk to Xiao Zibai hard, wanting him to "let go of other people's spirit pets", but Xiao Zibai just insisted on holding the bird, not even giving him a look.

Tang Lin, who was in the human body, stood next to him and blinked uncomfortably, defending Xiao Zibai: "He is indeed well, but he attaches more importance to my spiritual pet." ”

He said this with good intentions, but as soon as he heard the word "spirit pet", Xiao Zibai, who had not reacted just now, immediately raised his head and glared at Tang Lin, Tang Lin felt that he was about to be poked into a porous jade belt bridge by the child's angry eye knife, so he could only silently take half a step behind Kong Liu, isolating himself from Xiao Zibai's accusatory sight.

- He originally thought that after Xiao Zibai woke up from the frozen state, the two of them would be happy, but he didn't expect that he now had two bodies, and the one used to save Xiao Zibai was not the original one. When the child woke up and found that there was still a Tang Lin standing outside the door, he was already a little hostile, and after Ling Shan's head informed him that the "Tuanzi" had been contracted by someone else and became Tang Lin's spiritual pet, Xiao Zibai immediately showed strong hostility towards Tang Lin's cousin who "really snatched the Tuanzi".

Tang Lin felt Xiao Zibai's eyes falling on him, and couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to tell the child that people and birds were actually himself. Kong Liu glanced at Tang Lin, who was hiding behind him, and gave him a look of "Dare to tell the truth and affect the Imperial Beast Sect, and you will look good later".

Tang Lin: QAQ......

Tang Lin immediately fell into the dilemma of "how to prove to the child that he is himself without revealing the secrets of the Imperial Beast Sect". Kong Liu didn't pay any attention to him anymore, but dusted off his sleeves, walked straight to the head of the Lingshan Sword Sect, and said to the old man casually, "Tell me, what kind of charter?" Kong Liu tapped the table board with his knuckles, making a crisp "da-da" sound, clearly expressing the displeasure in his heart: "My apprentice's spiritual pet is held by your apprentice here, and you Lingshan Sword Sect doesn't care about it?" ”

He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Zibai, who had a stubborn face, and said impatiently: "Let him go, I still have to take my apprentice back to the mountain." ”

Tang Lin looked at Xiao Zibai, who had made up his mind not to let go, and then looked at Kong Liu, who had "impatient" written on his face, and hesitantly mentioned: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry......" Before he finished speaking, he was forced to swallow back by Kong Liu's sharp glance.

"Do you know how precious time is to you?" Kong Liu unceremoniously raised his voice: "You haven't built a foundation yet, your lifespan is as long as a mortal, and if you live for a day, you will have one less day, how much time can you waste?" Our Imperial Beast Sect's exercises must have a matching spirit beast, how can a suitable spirit beast be so easy to find, do you think your contract spirit beast is a cabbage on the road that people can pick up casually? As he spoke, he squinted at the head of Ling Shan, obviously forcing him to make a statement.

Without hesitation, the head of Ling Shan rolled up his sleeves and began to forcibly break Xiao Zibai's hand, not beware of being bitten by Xiao Zibai, the child hugged the big bird in his arms, looking at everyone as if he was looking at a robber.

Tang Lin couldn't help it, quietly pulled Lakong Liu's sleeve, and whispered to him: "It's really not good, just let me ...... Leave my soul pet behind. Just stay for a while, two or three months? No more than half a year at the latest? After all—"

- How could he bear to leave him alone?

Kong Liu turned his head violently and stared at him firmly for a long time, seeing that Tang Lin was a little hairy, Kong Liucai whispered in his ear word by word: "I know you have a good heart, but doing good deeds also scores, even if you are willing to stay with him for a while, is it possible that you can still accompany him here for a lifetime?" Don't you need to cultivate yourself? When the time comes, he will be happy and happy, he will begin to cultivate the truth, and he will live forever, but what should you do? ”

…… yes, what did he do?

Although Tang Lin knew that he was a demon clan, he didn't have to worry about lifespan, but he couldn't stand up to him as a demon who destroyed the world, if he didn't have enough strength, how could he face the hunt that was likely to happen next? Do you have to rely on the protection of others like "Ah Xuan" in the original text? Who is he going to rely on? Xiao Zibai or the Imperial Beast Sect?

Xiao Zibai, who was alone, couldn't protect him, the Royal Beast Sect, which was full of demon clans, couldn't protect him, and he didn't want to involve Xiao Zibai, let alone the Royal Beast Sect, if he could, Tang Lin hoped to be able to survive this catastrophe on his own.

Of course, he can stay and accompany Xiao Zibai now, but Tang Lin is a demon clan after all, how can he cultivate in the Lingshan Sword Sect, which is full of cultivators? He can't cultivate the aura of heaven and earth, he can only cultivate the essence of the sun and the moon, once he cultivates, it is equivalent to exposing his identity as a demon clan, which is tantamount to asking for his own death. And if he stubbornly doesn't cultivate, what will he do when the prophecy appears and his identity as the "Demon of the World" is revealed? Stand there waiting to die?

"Heavenly Dao" was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, threatening him all the time, making Tang Lin dare not slack off.

He had to make a choice after all.

But that kid is Xiao Zibai, he owes the world and doesn't want to owe...... Child.

It's not always with him, only a few months, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Tang Lin glanced at Kong Liu, and understood that if he wanted to stay, he had to convince him first.

Tang Lin pondered for a while, and then pulled the sleeves of his coat and said, "The apprentice has something to say to the master alone." Kong Liu glanced at him suspiciously, but after all, he still responded to his invitation, and the two walked outside the house together, Kong Liu set up a formation around the two of them to sound insulation, Tang Lin hesitated and said: "...... I don't want to fail him. ”

What he said had no beginning or end, but Kong Liu had already understood. He frowned and retorted to Tang Lin: "Where are you sorry for him?" Have you made an appointment with him to be with him for the rest of your life? Kong Liu rolled his eyes angrily: "You are kind to him, and you don't owe him." I used to accompany him every day, and suddenly one day I couldn't accompany him, was it a sin? Where in this world is there such a truth? ”

Tang Lin was speechless again, he thought for a while, and said to Kong Liu seriously: "I want to be good to him all the time, but now I can't do it, this is indeed mine." Without waiting for Kong Liu to refute, he continued: "When Xiao Zibai was brought out of the village by me, I had to be responsible for him, but I took him out of the village but failed to take care of him, and let him fall into the hands of the demon cultivator, isn't it my fault?" ”

Kong Liu's face changed: he was the one who took Ah Ning to take Tang Lin away, and he also indirectly led Xiao Zibai to fall into the hands of the demon cultivator. He frowned, and said reluctantly: "It was my fault that I took it away directly without saying a word, it wasn't your own will, Xiao Zibai's matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Tang Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But I can't forgive myself." ”

He was silent for a quarter of an hour, and then said to himself: "When I first saw him, the boy was so thin that the people in the village regarded him as a monster, beat him, scolded him, and didn't talk to him, and all his parents gave him was the kind of steamed buns with green hair. I was thinking, how did this child grow up to be so big in such an environment? ”

"I don't have parents, and I don't know the pain of being treated like a demon by my parents, but I have you, and I still remember the fear in my heart when I thought I wasn't of the same race as you and that you were about to leave me."

Kong Liu opened his mouth when he heard it, as if he wanted to say something, Tang Lin raised his head and smiled at him, Kong Liu stopped talking, just stretched out his hand and touched the top of Tang Lin's hair, and listened to him continue: "Not accepted by his parents, not recognized by the villagers, Xiao Zibai's heart is probably very sad." It's just that he has always been treated like that, and he doesn't know the taste of warmth, so he has always been ignorant and passively bearing this qiē, just as there has never been warmth in this world. ”

But I changed this, I took him away, thinking that I could protect him and warm him, but in the end I left him alone...... You see, I've only been with you for a few days, and I've lost my fashion and lost my feelings. I have been with Xiao Zibai for two years, how can I say that if I leave it down, I can leave it behind? ”

Kong Liu's hand stroking the top of Tang Lin's hair stiffened, Tang Lin lowered his head slightly, and did not speak again, but the meaning of his words had been undoubtedly revealed.

"The Lingshan Sword Sect is all good people." Kong Liu still didn't want to leave Tang Lin, he patted Tang Lin's back and said soothingly: "He is already standing in the sun, even if you leave him, he can still live well." Speaking of this, he even smiled: "You don't know how nervous that Ling Shan master was at that time, for fear that I would rob him of his apprentice." ”

Speaking of this, Kong Liu suddenly realized as if he suddenly remembered something: "Don't worry, if the people of the Lingshan Sword Sect treat Xiao Zibai badly, I will go and help you snatch him!" ”

"Grab ...... Xiao Zibai? Tang Lin was taken aback, he never thought about it: "The Imperial Beast Sect is not ...... Can't you accept outsiders? ”

"It's all monsters and can't accept the human race" The sentence turned around in his throat, and was swallowed back by Tang Lin, but Kong Liu slapped his hand and said gracefully: "Don't you know that my demon clan has always been arbitrary? If you fall in love with someone, what about the human race, it's a big deal to grab it home, once the contract is made, this person is yours, and he can't tell any secrets. ”

This is obviously similar to the words of snatching relatives, which makes Tang Lin embarrassed, Xiao Zibai is still young, he is not a pedophile, he doesn't have that kind of idea about children, he just raises children as children and nephews. Just as he was about to refute it, after what Kong Liugang had just said passed through his mind, Tang Lin suddenly caught two words, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Contract?" What contract? Is it the kind of contract I almost made with Xiao Zibai? ”

The expression on Kong Liu's face stiffened suddenly.

"You heard me wrong, there is no contract." Before Tang Lin could react and respond, Kong Liu grabbed him and changed the topic simply and rudely: "By the way, I just saw what you meant, could it be that you want to be by that human race's side?" ”

Tang Lin was stunned, and immediately made a look of being successfully distracted-this was not entirely pretending, he really wanted to be by Xiao Zibai's side-turned to Kong Liu, and said to him solemnly: "Indeed...... I wouldn't have wanted to be separated from him from the beginning if I could. ”

"Then I promise you that I can let you accompany him for a while." Kong Liu glanced at him and added with a stern expression: "But before that, you have to call me Master Sheng first." ”

"It's not the kind of person who says to fool others, it's a master who is really upright and preaching and teaching."

Tang Lin was stunned: he didn't expect Kong Liu to really propose to be his master.

Unlike others, Kong Liu should have suffered the loss of "Heavenly Dao", and from his tone and demeanor when he mentioned "Contract" and "Heavenly Dao", Tang Lin could see that what they brought to Kong Liu was not a good memory. To be able to live peacefully under the calculations of the Heavenly Dao until now, and to take the demon clan to live a peaceful and happy life under the cover of the Royal Beast Sect when the human race was flourishing, Kong Liu's effort was definitely not small.

And if he became Tang Lin's master, Kong Liu's originally peaceful life would undoubtedly be broken. The danger of the suspicious "contract" and "Heavenly Dao" is not mentioned for the time being, his own identity as the "Demon of the World Destroyer" is first of all a big basin of sewage, Tang Lin is not willing to involve Kong Liu, but Kong Liu is really powerful, and he really wants to accompany Xiao Zibai......

Tang Lin's heart moved shamefully, and after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to refuse: "After all, my background is unknown, and I am even contaminated with the way of heaven, so I really don't need to be involved......

Kong Liu interrupted his unfinished words and said to him bluntly: "It is I who want to accept you as an apprentice, not yourself, and I only know more about the danger of the Heavenly Dao than you." Why are you a cub worried about so much? You just have to answer me, yes or no? ”

After glancing at Kong Liu, Tang Lin no longer hesitated, and directly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

After the worship, he raised his head, looked at Kong Liu with a burning look, and didn't speak, but what he meant was already obvious.

Kong Liuyi flicked his sleeves and sighed secretly.

He stretched out his finger to Tang Lin's eyebrows, and said to him in three chapters: "Although it is said that you are allowed to stay, it does not mean that you will not return to the sect from now on, at most in March, after you accompany him, you still have to go back to the Imperial Beast Sect." ”

Tang Lin didn't want to respond, if he really wanted to stay in the Imperial Beast Sect completely, he was still worried that he would follow the old path of "Ah Xuan". After he finished answering, he looked at Kong Liu, hoping that Kong Liu could directly let him go and stay with Xiao Zibai, but unexpectedly, Kong Liu's words changed and said: "Eat people with soft mouths and short hands." If you get the permission of the teacher, you don't have to ask about the contract of the teacher, and if you ask, you will never tell you. ”

Tang Lin: ......

He had actually forgotten about the contract just now, and now that Kong Liu mentioned it, he immediately remembered it again......

Originally, he didn't notice anything wrong before, but at this moment, after remembering the word "contract" again, Tang Lin's heart couldn't help but chuckle: he suddenly remembered that when he tried to save him in Xiao Zibai's sea of knowledge, he had cut his chest with his beak, and let his blood stain Xiao Zibai's body.

- And Kong Liu had warned him, "Don't let that man be stained with your own blood." ”

I always feel like I've dug some strange pit for myself.
