Back on Tianwu Mountain, Nan Rongcheng and Nan Rongli were practicing on the Qingxin Platform behind the Ding'an Temple.

After practicing for a while, Nan Rongcheng began to be lazy: "Ah Li, did you say that woman lied to us?" What's the use of repeating these actions every day, slow and leisurely, if you start a fight, a move is not done, and people will be beaten into meatloaf! ”

"Master let us practice these principles of our own master, Ah Cheng, come down quickly, when the master sees it, he will punish you." Nan Rongli looked worriedly at Nan Rongcheng, who had climbed to a very thick tree next to the cool platform.

"She won't see it, I saw her go down the mountain in the morning, hehe, besides, what if you see it, I'm the prince of the dignified Nanrong Kingdom, so I'm not afraid of that woman!" Nam Rong shook his little head proudly.

Nan Rongli looked at him and suddenly became nervous: "Division... Division... Master"

"Hahaha... Ah Li, you can't deceive people, and you still look at me and call me Master, and treat me as that woman? How stupid! Haha......" Nan Rongcheng smiled and leaned back, and when he fell back, there was a soft touch behind him, with a faint fragrance.

Nan Rongli lowered his head with sympathetic eyes, Nan Rongcheng turned his head stiffly, and saw Zhan Lian sitting lazily behind him, showing him a meaningful smile.

Frightened, Nan Rongcheng almost fell from the tree, and Zhan Lian gently grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.

"Division... Division... Master......" Nan Rongcheng pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

Zhan Lian said faintly: "Cheng'er, isn't it time for the teacher to come back?" ”

"It's right, it's right, it's time"

"Oh? Is it the right time? Then you deliberately said these words to the teacher? ”

"Huh? No, no, no, Master! ”

"Well, that's... Woman? Zhan Lian looked at Nan Rongcheng with a smile.

"Master! It's Master! Nan Rongcheng quibbled.

Zhan Lian straightened her clothes, gently patted her hand on the trunk of the tree twice, and then her body moved down from the tree and landed in the center of the Qingxin Terrace: "Teach you to practice, but I didn't teach you to practice on the tree, since you don't like to practice, you like to stay on the tree, so stay a little longer." ”

"No, no, no! I'm going to come down, Master! Nan Rongcheng moved his body and wanted to come down, but his ass couldn't move away, he threw a look at Zhan Lian for help, but Zhan Lian pretended to look at him suspiciously.

"Master, I can't move my buttocks..."

Suddenly, the big tree moved, and an old voice came: "War Lotus Divine Lord, the old decay has taken root here for thousands of years, and few people are close to me, I love this child very much, can you dare to ask the god lord to leave this child as a companion with the old decay?" ”

"Oh... All right. ”

Zhan Lian agreed very happily, and then looked at Nan Rongcheng, who was about to cry in horror: "I forgot to tell you that the flowers and trees, bricks, tiles, walls and stones in this Ding'an Temple are all spiritual, just like this sacred tree, but after thousands of years of loneliness and loneliness, especially lack of love, and especially like children." Since you don't want to think of me as a master, then be here to be a companion with this sacred tree, and it just so happens that you also love to climb trees, so it's very good. ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Nan Rongli stood in place and was very embarrassed: "Master...", but seeing Zhan Lian glancing at him, Nan Rongli immediately understood and left with Zhan Lian.

"Don't! Master! I was wrong...... Ah Li! Master! I don't want to stay here......" Nam Rongcheng struggled with his hands and feet, but his ass was always firmly seated on the tree.

"Don't toss, child, it's useless, you don't really realize your mistakes, the Lord won't let you go back." The old voice of the sacred tree rang out again.

"Do you mean, will Master still let me go back?"

"Of course, for thousands of years, the Battle Lotus Divine Lord has never accepted an apprentice, so it can be seen that he looks at you differently, how can he give up on you easily. It's just that you have a bad mentality, you haven't practiced well at all these days, I see it in my eyes, don't say it's the god master. So let you be in this is also for you to meditate on yourself. After reflection, you can naturally go back. ”

In the Lotus Hall, Zhan Lian was resting on the couch.

"Ahh A man was pierced by countless chains through his body, hanging above the flames, and thunder and lightning kept slashing at his body, Zhan Lian looked at the man with tears on his face, and flew forward to save him, but he was repelled by thunder and lightning again and again.

"Lian'er, don't." The man said in a weak voice.

This made Zhan Lian feel powerless for the first time in her life, she shook her head and looked at the man, tears raining down.

"Master!" Zhan Lian went to beg her master, Tianzhi Shenzun: "Master, let him go!" ”

"Once the punishment of divine punishment is over after a thousand years, there is no need to say more about right and wrong, cause and effect." After saying that, the Heavenly Stop Divine Venerable disappeared.

"Nope! Master!!! ”

In the Lotus Flower Palace, Zhan Lian opened his eyes, and there were still tears on his face. Looking out of the temple, it was getting late, and it was time to go see the child in the tree.

Zhan Lian walked out of the hall, and Zai Ze, dressed in red, appeared in her hall again, looking at her departing back, looking a little sad.

Under the sacred tree, Zhan Lian squinted at Nan Rongcheng, who was sleeping on the tree, and smiled helplessly: "Cheng'er." ”

"Master..."Hearing the voice, Nan Rongcheng rubbed his eyes.

"Do you know it's wrong?"

"The apprentice knows that he is wrong, Master." Nan Rongcheng, who was sleepy, looked pitiful at the moment.

This made Zhan Lian's heart suddenly soften a lot: "Come down." ”

Hearing this, Nan Rongcheng tried to move, thinking that his butt still couldn't move, but who knew that this time it was better, so he accidentally fell.

Zhan Lian flew forward on tiptoe to catch Nan Rongcheng who fell, and then turned around and landed.

"Master" Nan Rong admitted a false alarm, and at this moment he felt much more relieved to be held in Zhan Lian's arms.

Zhan Lian looked down at the little Nan Rongcheng in her arms and said softly: "Sleep, send you back for the teacher." With that, he walked back.

A soft sigh came from the sacred tree behind him, revealing a lot of helplessness.

"Master?" Nan Rongli was a little surprised to see Zhan Lian personally carrying Nan Rongcheng back.

Zhan Lian walked into the inner hall and put Nan Rongcheng on the bed and covered the quilt.

"Ah Li, why don't you sleep yet?" Zhan Lian walked out of the inner hall and gently touched Nan Rongli's head.

"I'm waiting for Ah Cheng to come back." Nan Rongli replied obediently.

"Then go and rest." After speaking, Zhan Lian turned around to leave. was stopped by Nan Rongli.

"Master..."

Zhan Lian paused: "Huh? ”

"Master, do you know, Father Emperor and Nan Rongguo, are you okay?"

This question made Zhan Lian a little embarrassed, and she didn't know whether she should tell this child truthfully.

"Ah Li, since your father sent you to Tianwu Mountain, he should have told you something, right? You are still young, and you don't understand a lot of things, and even if you do, you can't do anything now. All you can do now is to calm down and stay here. ”

Nan Rongli nodded sensibly: "So, Master, Father Emperor is gone, is he?" ”

Zhan Lian looked at this well-behaved child pretending to be strong at the moment and holding back the tears in her eyes, a little unbearable, she stretched out her hand and gently patted Nan Rongli: "Ah Li, cry if you want to, and go to sleep after crying." Your father only has your two sons, so you have to fight even more. ”

"Yes." Nan Rongli wiped away the tears that had fallen and walked towards the inner sanctum.

Looking at his little stubborn figure, Zhan Lian sighed and shook her head.
