Shi Su's words suddenly made Ling Chen stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so direct and not give him face at all.

Looking at Ling Chen, who was stunned, Zhu Xiaozhu's beautiful eyes had a hint of apology, she didn't expect her master to say such things in front of Ling Chen. Not to mention Ling Chen, even she felt a little uncomfortable after hearing these words.

"Master......"

"Okay, don't say it, I've said everything I need to say. Xiaozhu, let's go. ”

Seeing Shi Su turn around and leave with Zhu Xiaozhu, Xia Yue, who had been standing beside Ling Chen, couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and said angrily: "You think my sixth brother is not worthy of your apprentice, and your apprentice may not be able to climb my sixth brother." ”

Hearing this, Shi Su turned his head and said lightly: "I've heard a lot of self-deception, whatever you say." All in all, I don't want to see him hinder my apprentice's future. ”

"You ......" Xia Yue was angry.

"Fifth sister. Ling Chen grabbed Xia Yue, shook his head at her, and said, "Why bother with someone like her. ”

Xia Yue frowned slightly and said, "She said this about you, aren't you angry?"

Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's the use of being angry? Besides, what people say is the truth, I am indeed inferior to the top five people on the rookie list." ”

"The sixth brother is right. Qiu Yong patted Ling Chen's shoulder and said, "Instead of taking advantage of words, it is better to speak with facts." Strength is everything, this is the unchanging rule in martial arts for thousands of years. Gone, went back. ”

Back in the room, Ling Chen sat alone on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and played with the teacup in his hand in every boring way. Although he kept saying that he didn't care in front of Qiu Yong and others, he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.

Men are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid of being looked down upon. Shi Su's words undoubtedly hit his self-esteem very hard.

Ling Chen scratched his head, looking a little helpless. It's good now, a Yishui inkstone hasn't been solved yet, and there is another Qu Jinxian. What's worse is that one of these two people is ranked fourth on the rookie list and the other is ranked third, and they are both not easy people to deal with.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone in my room rang.

Ling Chen picked up the earpiece and fed it, and asked, "Which one?"

"Sixth brother, it's me. Wei Jiahao's voice came from the phone: "I just saw the people from the Dangyang faction on the boat, Yi Shuiyan and Qin Wu are here." Big brother, let me tell you, before the official start of the Tianji Ceremony, try not to conflict with the people of the Dangyang Sect, so as not to violate the rules of the Tianji Pavilion. ”

"Don't worry, I know that. ”

hung up the phone, and Ling Chen's heart suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The gap between him and Yi Shuiyan is there, and even after less than two months of special training, it is difficult to make up for this gap.

At this point, Ling Chen is very clear. To win, he needs a lot of luck. While this made him feel aggrieved, he had to admit that luck was the key to his victory.

Sighing, Ling Chen put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and prepared to hurry up and cultivate the Prajna Sutra of the Building.

Grinding the gun in battle, not sharp but also bright, will always have a role.

But then, there was a soft knock on the door of the guest room. Ling Chen walked to the door and stretched out his hand to open the door. Suddenly, a faint fragrance came to the nose.

Looking at the person outside the door, Ling Chen was slightly stunned. He thought it was Qiu Yong or someone else, but he didn't expect it to be Zhu Xiaozhu.

After coming back to his senses, Ling Chen raised his lips and smiled: "Why are you here?"

Zhu Xiaozhu bit his thin lip, looked at the left and right sides of the corridor, and asked softly, "Can you let me in?"

Ling Chen didn't say a word, immediately got out of the way and welcomed Zhu Xiaozhu into the room. When Zhu Xiaozhu sat down, Ling Chen made a cup of tea, brought it to Zhu Xiaozhu, and asked with a smile: "You came to me, aren't you afraid of what your master will say?"

"I'm sorry!" Zhu Xiaozhu lowered her head, holding the teacup in both hands, and in the steaming heat, her delicate face gradually became blurred, like a silver moon reflected in the lake, revealing a trace of hazy beauty.

Hearing Zhu Xiaozhu's apology, Ling Chen waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, I don't need to apologize, I'm not so glassy." ”

"But I don't think I'll be able to do it, Master's usual personality is very gentle, and he also takes great care of me, but I didn't expect her to say that kind of thing to you, probably because of ......" Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaozhu unconsciously stopped the conversation, her pretty face was flushed with a faint crimson, her beautiful eyes were shy, and she didn't dare to continue.

Ling Chen didn't notice the shame in Zhu Xiaozhu's eyes, and asked curiously, "Because of what?"

Zhu Xiaozhuqiao's face flushed, she didn't dare to look directly at Ling Chen's gaze, looked at the tea in the cup that was slightly rippling, and didn't speak for a long time.

Her childhood was different from that of other girls, who had dolls as companions, but her toys were only silver needles and ancient books of Chinese medicine. For more than ten years, he has been by Shi Su's side for almost all of his time, receiving her guidance. It wasn't until she was fifteen years old, when her medical skills had improved slightly, that she was allowed to leave.

Therefore, in her childhood memories, the most important thing is not her parents, but Shi Su, the master. In her eyes, Shi Su is also a teacher and friend, no matter what she has on her mind, she will tell Shi Su, including her heart for Ling Chen. Especially after learning that Ling Chen and Nan Rong Wanqing were together, she was in an extremely uncomfortable mood and urgently needed to find someone to talk to, Shi Su was undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, Shi Su knew everything about the matter between her and Ling Chen.

Shi Su said those ugly words to Ling Chen before, and a large part of the reason was that he was angry for her. For this reason, she felt very sorry not to go, so she came to apologize to Ling Chen.

However, she can't tell Ling Chen about this kind of thing, otherwise it will only make the relationship between the two more awkward.

Seeing that Zhu Xiaozhu didn't speak for a long time, the sluggish Ling Chen finally reacted, knowing that it was inconvenient for her to answer, so he simply stopped asking questions and changed his words to move on to other topics. However, when he opened his mouth, he found that he was short of words and did not know what to say.

I think that at the beginning, he and Zhu Xiaozhu had nothing to talk about, and they could talk about anything. However, since Zhu Hong appeared, there has been an extra layer of estrangement between him and Zhu Xiaozhu, and the relationship has gradually become weaker.

A big part of this may be that he is deliberately avoiding it.

He did this just to avoid Zhu Xiaozhu from being harmed. Because he knew in his heart that there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and Zhu Hong, unless one party died in battle. As Zhu Hong's own sister, once Zhu Xiaozhu knows that he killed Zhu Hong, I am afraid that he will not forgive himself in this life.

Only by cutting off the friendship between the two as soon as possible, even if Zhu Xiaozhu learns the truth in the future, it will not be so painful, at most he will regard himself as an enemy.

He would rather Zhu Xiaozhu hate himself, and he would not want to see Zhu Xiaozhu suffering painfully.

While thinking about it, neither of them spoke, and they all sat there in silence, like two silent statues.

Rumble!

At this moment, a loud sound that shook the sky suddenly came.
