I don't know how long.

Hong Chen woke up slowly, it was still dark, and he was lying on a sparse grass, not the same place.

"Master, are you awake..."A surprised voice came into his ears, Hong Chen looked sideways, and saw Zhong Lingyun walking over with a happy face.

Hong Chen sat up, moved his position, leaned back against a tree trunk, and smiled: "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"Less than three hours."

"What is this place?"

"I don't know, it's about two or three kilometers away from where you slept... Master, I saw fruit on a tree before, so I picked a few. ”

Hong Chen took a fruit handed by Zhong Lingyun, wiped it on his clothes, and gnawed on the skin.

After eating one and asking for another, two stomachs, Hong Chen burped, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, and suddenly said, "Do you want to ask, how did I rescue you?" ”

On the side, the corners of Zhong Lingyun's mouth moved several times, and the appearance of wanting to speak and stopping was taken into the corner of Hong Chen's eyes.

Zhong Lingyun pursed her lips and nodded.

Hong Chen chuckled lightly and spit out a cloud of cigarettes: "There are a total of twelve people on the other side, five third-grade, one high-level, two middle-ranked, two early-stage, second-grade seven, plus one first-grade peak, all of them are ruthless people who dare to fight hard, you, the master of the third-grade high-stage, were besieged, and the forced breakthrough was unsuccessful, if I, the weak person in the early stage of the third-grade, fell into a heavy siege, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for even ten seconds, and I will be broken into ten thousand pieces, let alone rescue you." ”

Speaking of this, Hong Chen looked at Zhong Lingyun with a sideways face, expressionless: "This is your doubt, right?" ”

Zhong Lingyun looked a little embarrassed, but she still nodded, what Hong Chen said was exactly what she was thinking.

Hong Chen shook his head and didn't give a promise, but said: "In fact, in your mind, I am not qualified to be your martial arts master, the reason why you will agree to apprentice is because you broke an arm at that time, seriously injured, and you are already half a waste, and I said that I can heal you, it is the only life-saving straw for you, after the injury is healed, the reason why you have no regrets is because I have a life-saving grace for you, and I call 'master' on my mouth, but I don't recognize it in my heart, right?" ”

Being asked like this, Zhong Lingyun's expression was no longer embarrassed, but the surprise and panic of his mind being exposed, and he wanted to deny it, but he heard it again: "At that time, the enemy army came to help, and I issued instructions to retreat, but you didn't withdraw in time, on the one hand, it is your strong desire for revenge, and you want to kill one more, or even two, but this is not the main thing, the fundamental reason is that the advance and retreat of a battle should be dominated by the strong, you are a third-grade high-level, but I am commanded by a third-grade early stage, which makes your heart twist, to put it bluntly, It's still the same sentence, in your mind, above the martial arts, I'm not qualified to be your master, right? ”

asked three questions in a row, and the answer to each question was yes, giving Zhong Lingyun the feeling that Hong Chen was like a roundworm in her stomach.

The first question, Zhong Lingyun dared to nod and admit, the second question, Zhong Lingyun wanted to deny it, and the third question, Zhong Lingyun neither dared to nod and promise, nor did he dare to deny it, subconsciously wanted to make up words and quibble, and opened his mouth: "Master..."

"Call me Hongchen in the future." After speaking, Hong Chen stood up, turned his back to Zhong Lingyun and tilted his head slightly, and spit out a thick cloud of smoke at the ink-colored sky.

Behind him, Zhong Lingyun was stunned!

Hong Chen's meaning couldn't be clearer, and the master-apprentice relationship ended here.

Zhong Lingyun looked at Hong Chen in a daze, just this thin back, when she was in a desperate situation and was about to be seriously injured and unconscious, she suddenly flashed in front of her as if falling from the sky.

At that moment, this back was as resolute and upright as a mountain, but at this moment, it revealed a touch of loss and loneliness.

"You and I have a friendship between master and apprentice, even if you risk your life, I will save you."

This is what Hong Chen said to her, and fulfilled his promise with practical actions, which shows that Hong Chen really regards her as a disciple, but she does not recognize this master from her heart.

It seems that he is sincerely giving, but in exchange for betrayal, how can Hongchen not be lost, how not to be lonely?

At this point in the year, Zhong Lingyun felt a strong sense of guilt and self-blame in her heart, feeling that her chest was blocked by something, and it became very difficult to breathe.

After a while, she suddenly got up, first called "master", then bent her knees, knelt on the ground, bit her lip, and said entangledly: "Master, I admit everything you said, but that was before, it doesn't mean now..."

Hong Chen suddenly turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Don't say it." ”

created this kind of atmosphere, Hong Chen is seven points true and three points false, seven points true, three points lost, and four points angry, after all, he really regards Zhong Lingyun as a disciple, but this disciple is duplicitous, yang and yin, and three points of falsehood is to make Zhong Lingyun feel guilty, after all, his original intention of accepting apprentices is mostly for the bull market Zhong family's medicinal material channel.

Right now, Zhong Lingyun knelt down like this, obviously taking it very seriously, but it made him a little uncomfortable, and if he said something sensational, he really couldn't bear it...

Zhong Lingyun thought that Hong Chen asked her to stop talking, it was Tiexin who wanted to stop the relationship between master and apprentice, she was so anxious that she struggled, and her silver teeth bit hard: "Master, I was wrong, please forgive me once, if you don't forgive me, I will, kowtow until you forgive." ”

After speaking, the smooth forehead slammed into the ground, and it turned out to be a muffled echo on the dirt that was not stiff.

Hong Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Okay, there is no forgiveness between master and apprentice, I am just a little angry, and now my anger is gone." ”

Zhong Lingyun said uneasily: "Master, have you really forgiven me?" ”

Hong Chen smiled helplessly and nodded.

Zhong Lingyun got up at this time, Hong Chen thought about it, and said, "Didn't you ask me how to rescue you?" We'll make a move now, and you'll understand. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back and spread his palms: "Punch me with all your might." ”

Seeing that Zhong Lingyun was a little hesitant, Hong Chen frowned slightly: "What's the matter, don't listen to the master again?" ”

Zhong Lingyun didn't ink anymore and said, "Master, then you have to be ready." ”

Then, the body jumped back a few times, the breath sank, brewed slightly, and then snorted, leaned up, and the jade fist waved, and the wind was fierce.

Hong Chen was not careless, his eyes were condensed, and a punch of nine points of strength was violently blasted out.

Rumble!

The fists collided, and there was a violent sonic boom, Zhong Lingyun took a few steps back, while Hong Chen retreated half a step back, gritted his teeth fiercely, his breath sank, and he didn't move a bit.

Zhong Lingyun showed surprise when she saw this, and her heart was shocked, not to mention that her punch was very powerful, at least nine points, but unexpectedly, under the hard touch, she fell behind, which shows that the pure strength, as well as the strength of the body, Hong Chen, who is two realms lower than her, is above her.

"If you're in the same realm, this punch is enough to seriously injure you... The more two levels are not weaker than you, and they can also help you break through to the fourth grade, are you qualified to be your master? Hong Chen slowly retracted his fists, his tone was light, after all, a martial artist has to talk about strength, in order to convince Zhong Lingyun, he felt that it was necessary to show his true strength, even if his dantian qi storage was only restored to a little more than three percent, this hard blow of consumption once again made him fall into an overdraft.

Zhong Lingyun pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"In order to save you, I did not hesitate to seriously overdraft to deter that group of ruthless people, they are from the underground world, they are a group of outlaws, but it also depends on how much money the owner gives, they will make a lot of efforts, how much risk they take, they are not really afraid of death, when the return is not proportional to the return, they will take the initiative to give up."

After explaining vaguely, Hong Chen sat down and pointed to his shoulder: "Okay, hurry up and come over and pinch my shoulder." ”

Zhong Lingyun said "oh", came over obediently, and put her small hands on Hong Chen's shoulders.

While Hong Chen closed his eyes and enjoyed it, he said: "I will need about two days to recover, we will stay in this mountain forest for another two days, and then spend another day to go out, don't deliberately take revenge, the people of the Blood Eagle are working boys in the final analysis, and the real enmity with you is the three Fu Bo and the people of the Zhong family in Kyoto, after going out, if the Fu Bo three don't know that you are still alive, most of them have already returned to the Zhong family in the bull market." ”

Zhong Lingyun was silent for a while after hearing this, although she was a little unwilling in her heart, she still agreed, and said rationally that the eleven martial artists of the Zhong family in the bull market were killed, and Fu Bo, Zhong Fei, and the people behind Zhong Fei were the real culprits.
