Adding up the previous two lifetimes, Li Fenglan also stayed in Tianmian Palace for thousands of years. From the future master to the ordinary disciple, he has experienced almost every identity here.

But... After so many years, this is the first time that Li Fenglan knows what it's like to walk through the back door of Tianmian Palace.

On the first night in the dark prison, Li Fenglan was released. After inquiring, I found out that it was Mu Hantao who made up a random reason for him. And Jiang Yichang, as an insider, even chose to turn a blind eye.

I don't know how these two immortals feel, but Li Fenglan, who came out of the prison, is a little guilty anyway...

According to the sect's regulations, when Li Fenglan was brought back to Miguang Mountain by the head disciple Zhuang Zhixia, it was already night at Haishi.

Seeing off the other party on the edge of the cliff, Li Fenglan was just about to walk to her room. Then I saw a huge white figure passing through the buildings on Miguang Mountain and appearing in the square.

It is Chenghuang.

Its size is still so big, it immediately filled the entire Miguang Mountain front hall square.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" it carefully put its tail away. Cheng Huangwo was here, blinking slightly while looking at Li Fenglan. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Fenglan felt that Chenghuang was actually a little melancholy at this moment. At least those ice blue eyes were full of grievances.

"Chenghuang? It's so late, why don't you take a rest." While speaking, Li Fenglan stretched out her hand and touched it gently.

The little guy rubbed his hand, pouted and said, "Feng Lan, it's been a long time~ I haven't seen me for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Huang glanced at Li Fenglan again as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "Fenglan is hurt~ Does it hurt?"

Although Chenghuang has become louder, its voice still has a tone, and it is still as sticky as before.

"It doesn't hurt." Li Fenglan said with a smile.

Then Cheng Huang whimpered for a long time, and finally stretched out its white claws and patted itself on the head vigorously, saying: "If only I could become smaller..." If it could become smaller, I could be with you tonight Li Fenglan is gone.

But Li Fenglan hadn't had time to be moved, when Cheng Huang was speaking, the huge tail suddenly swept up behind him.

Li Fenglan felt that Chenghuang's tail was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it.

Although most of her cultivation had recovered, Li Fenglan, who was seriously injured, just wanted to fall asleep and sleep at this moment. Li Fenglan comforted Chenghuang again, telling him to have a good rest tonight, and then, under Chenghuang's reluctant gaze, walked to his room.

Cheng Huang, on the other hand, turned around carefully, while quickly wrapping his huge tail behind him.

But it's still a step slower...

It was also after bypassing Chenghuang that Li Fenglan discovered...it turned out that there was a small golden thing hidden in the place where Chenghuang put his tail just now.

"Cuckoo!"

It was Duan Wannian, she wanted to fly to Li Fenglan, but was blocked by Chenghuang's big tail. When Cheng Huang turned around, he wanted to take the little guy away, but she escaped.

"Cuckoo!" Duan Wannian grumbled differently, as if he was accusing Cheng Huang of his behavior just now.

Seeing this, Li Fenglan, the master, couldn't help but turned around and glanced at Chenghuang.

He could see clearly by the moonlight, Cheng Huang's mouth was pursed high enough to be able to tie a cow.

"Humph!"

Relying on her smallness, she will act cute to Fenglan, and she won't win by force!

However, after becoming an adult, Chenghuang is still much smarter than before. Seeing that Li Fenglan looked tired now, it didn't play petty temper anymore. He just pursed his lips in disbelief and "hummed" at Duan Wannian, then reluctantly turned and went back to the back mountain.

Duan Wannian is just getting smaller and loves to show off Li Fenglan. In essence, she was still the same as before, when Cheng Huang left, Duan Wannian immediately said: "Goodbye!" Her voice had a hint of showing off that couldn't be concealed.

Li Fenglan: "..."

"Okay, you should go find Duan Qianli too." Li Fenglan said helplessly.

Although the chubby little golden bird flying in the air was unwilling, she struggled for a long time. After remembering what happened before, she still nodded her head slightly.

However, after seeing Duan Wannian's performance, Li Fenglan didn't let go of her breath when she saw Duan Wannian suddenly landed on her window frame.

"This, this, here you go! Cuckoo!" Duan Wannian finally spoke to Li Fenglan.

And with the light from the little golden bird, Li Fenglan finally saw clearly what was on the window frame.

—I saw a pile of fruits neatly placed here, as well as the corpses of small animals.

what is this?

Li Fenglan had never seen such a scene before.

"...This is?" Li Fenglan tried to ask.

Duan Wannian, who was flying in mid-air, seemed shy when he saw it like this. She wanted to cover her face with her wings, but just now, her chubby body almost fell off the window frame.

"Gu!" Duan Wannian quickly flapped her wings again, and she said: "For Fenglan, Gu~" and flew away in a hurry.

So this is a gift?

For so many years, it was the first time for Li Fenglan to receive such a special gift.

Although Duan Wannian had happily flown away after delivering the presents, I couldn't see how he would deal with this pile of strange things for monks. But Li Fenglan still went to the window, and carefully put away the things she gave her bit by bit.

After finishing all these things, he finally returned to the room.

…

The moon in the sky was very round that night, Li Fenglan lay on the bed and saw that there was not a single star around the full moon.

And while he was looking at the moon, the events of the previous two days went through his mind one by one.

Unknowingly, Li Fenglan felt drowsy and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a light knock on the door not far away. Li Fenglan instinctively felt that the breath of the people outside the door reassured him, so she muttered something, and fell into a deep sleep.

Then the person who knocked on the door just now slowly opened the door and walked in.

It is Ling never tire of.

In Li Fenglan's heart, her master has always seen the beginning but never the end. So when he returned to Miguang Mountain just now, he didn't see Ling Buyan, so he didn't think much about it.

After entering the door, Ling Buyan turned around and gently closed the door of the room again.

He slowly sat in front of the bed and rolled up Li Fenglan's sleeves a little.

The next moment, a section of cold white wrist appeared before Ling Buyan's eyes.

Li Fenglan's skin trauma was healed by Ling Buyan with spiritual power when he was in the prison just now. Before leaving the prison, Li Fenglan also changed into another piece of clothes.

From the outside, it is completely impossible to tell that he has experienced a fierce battle before.

But when Ling Buti lightly placed his finger on Li Fenglan's wrist, he felt a lot of Gang Qi mixed into Li Fenglan's spiritual veins.

That stellar energy was extremely domineering, and it was colliding with Li Fenglan's own spiritual energy inside the spiritual vein.

During the day, it was fine, but now the stellar energy has not been eliminated for a long time, and the spiritual power began to repel them again, so the two forces began to fight, and there were even signs of intensification.

Sure enough, although Li Fenglan was already sound asleep at this time, her brows were tightly frowned, and her lips became very pale.

Ling Buyi's hand slowly left Li Fenglan's wrist, and then touched the other's forehead with the back of his hand.

"I have a fever..." Ling Buyi said softly.

The fever caused by stellar energy cannot be suppressed or relieved with spiritual power. If you want to cool down, you can only use the most primitive method.

The next moment, a jade basin filled with ice water appeared on the small table in the room, and there were a few white handkerchiefs in the small jade tray next to it. Ling Buyi got up and walked to the table, slowly rolled up his sleeves.

The man's fingers are long and slender, with well-defined joints. Most of the time, Ling Buyi's hands are hidden under the loose black robe. Therefore, the hands that have not seen the light for a long time also look extremely pale. Coupled with a beautiful shape, it is like a sculpture made of white jade.

Ling Buyi hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about what he should do.

After a few breaths, he slowly picked up the handkerchief and soaked it in the ice water. After resting for a while, he fished out the handkerchief from the water, and wrung it dry with extremely rusty techniques.

In Li Fenglan's heart, Ling Buyan is almost an omnipotent person.

But now, Ling Buyan actually has some small things that he can't do well. After all, this was the first time in his long life that he took care of someone like this.

After wringing out the handkerchief, Ling Buyan sat back beside the bed. He carefully brushed back the broken hair on Li Fenglan's forehead, and then solemnly placed the thing in his hand on Li Fenglan's forehead.

As if feeling the coldness on her skin, Li Fenglan, who had already fallen asleep, finally opened her eyes a little with difficulty.

"...Master?"

"I'm here."

"Master, what's wrong with me..." Li Fenglan's voice was so small that he couldn't hear it clearly.

Ling Buyi adjusted the handkerchief a little and said, "You have a fever due to the influence of the sword forest qi. It's okay, Master is here, and you'll be fine tomorrow morning." Ling Buyi's voice was very gentle and gentle, so gentle that Li Fenglan almost wanted to Close your eyes and fall asleep again.

"Well," the dazed Li Fenglan nodded lightly again, and then he, who was not very conscious, suddenly stretched out his hand and gently tugged Ling Buyan's sleeve, "Master, can you stay with me?"

Li Fenglan, who was ill, spoke like Cheng Huang, sticky and with a little nasal sound.

Hearing Li Fenglan's words, Ling Buyi couldn't help being taken aback. He first subconsciously put Li Fenglan's wrist back under the quilt, and then said: "Okay."

This is the first time Ling Buyan heard Li Fenglan talking to herself in such a tone.

In fact, Li Fenglan was taught to be a "gentleman" by her parents and teachers when she was in her mortal home long before she entered Tianshui Palace. Later, when he arrived at Tianmian Palace and studied with Qiu Wanyou, he would hide his emotions even more.

It seems that Li Fenglan has never acted like a spoiled child before.

Yes, Ling Buyan felt that... Li Fenglan was acting like a baby to herself.

Unknowingly, Li Fenglan has completely regarded Ling Buyan as "one of her own", even the only person who can be completely trusted and relied on. You may not be able to see this normally, but when you are sick, it becomes obvious.

It's just that Li Fenglan, who just said this sentence, closed her eyes again, so regretfully she didn't see: after hearing what she said, the face of the master sitting beside her turned red!

Not only that, Ling Buti coughed twice, and pressed the cold back of his hand to his face.

After a while, he ended the action just now, took off the handkerchief on Li Fenglan's forehead, and replaced it with another one.

…

Ling Buyi left Miguang Mountain just now, because he has business to do.

He left Tianmian Palace, went to a valley not far away, and picked the elixir that grew at the bottom of the valley. This medicine can calm the influence of Gang Qi and let Li Fenglan return to normal as soon as possible.

So after changing the handkerchief, Ling Buyi immediately took out the elixir, crushed it with spiritual power and applied it on Li Fenglan's wrist.

After doing this, he finally sat up straight again, and looked at the person lying on the bed by the moonlight.

——Li Fenglan has changed, Ling Buyan may be the one who feels the most about this.

During the time before she went mad, Li Fenglan seemed to have grown up according to the model of a "perfect monk" in the cultivation world. He is strong, kind, benevolent and even disciplined.

Li Fenglan will always only do "what she should do", even when she took Meng Linzhou as her apprentice back then.

In his previous life, he didn't seem to have much will or idea about what to do. For ordinary monks, accepting apprentices is one of the top three major events in life besides cultivation. Before accepting apprentices, they will always carefully select them to see how talented the apprentice is, what their personality is, and even whether they match their horoscope.

But Li Fenglan was different.

After he reached a certain level of cultivation, the sect told him that you should accept an apprentice, and then recommended the most talented one among the same batch of disciples who entered Tianmian Palace to him. But Li Fenglan didn't think too much, he accepted the disciple chosen by the sect for him without even hesitation.

Perhaps it was also because of this that Meng Linzhou felt that Master didn't care enough about him earlier, and then started making troubles everywhere.

In short, Li Fenglan in the past was always pushed forward by the torrent of life. Even with his talent and birth, he was doomed to take a different path from the beginning, but Li Fenglan on the road never found his own direction.

In this life, he finally changed.

Outside the sword forest that day, Ling Buyi had been silently watching Li Fenglan's performance.

So Ling couldn't bear to see that Li Fenglan, who was always forced to "face" something in the past, chose to break through the sword formation, and then told Qiu Wanyou personally that he was Li Fuyue.

At that moment, Li Fenglan was extremely decisive, Ling Buyi had never seen such exuberant vitality on a person, his clothes were flying in the air, like waves crashing towards a cliff.

Maybe Li Fuyue's identity will be exposed again, and he will be smashed to pieces again, but he doesn't care.

Being strong and benevolent is indeed Li Fenglan's nature, but this is only one of his natures.

Li Fenglan is like a thin-leaved epiphyllum that blooms at night. In the past, it was him, but it was just a thin bud, but now this night epiphyllum has finally bloomed slowly.

Thinking of this, Ling Buyan couldn't help but pause as he was about to replace the handkerchief on his forehead for Li Fenglan.

Before that day, Li Fenglan in his heart was always childish and ignorant. But after that moment, Ling Buyi clearly realized that the Li Fenglan in his heart had finally become a... the only adult who could stand side by side with him with an unconcealable brilliance.

...This feeling can make his heart vibrate at any time.

After several months of getting along, he witnessed Li Fenglan's growth bit by bit, and it became more and more difficult for him to let go of this person.

Ling Buyi was suddenly confused—he, who has been devoting himself to cultivating the Tao for many years, seems to have never known or thought about it, what would happen if he allowed such feelings in his heart to continue to develop?

This night, Ling Buyan really stayed in his house as Li Fenglan said, and did not leave.

And in the middle of the night, the elixir finally took effect, and the stellar energy in Li Fenglan's veins slowly disappeared. At the same time, the temperature between the foreheads also dropped a little bit.

…

Li Fenglan was awakened by a soft noise.

"Da da da da"

"Da da da"

After sleeping for most of the day, he was refreshed when he opened his eyes again.

After waking up, he subconsciously looked towards the direction where the sound came from—the window frame, but before he saw the familiar golden figure of Wannian in the middle of guessing, Li Fenglan saw Ling Buyi.

At this time, it was the first quarter of noon in the morning, and the sun had already climbed into the sky. But today's sunshine is not strong, and shines into the house through the waxy paper window.

Those beams of light golden light just happened to... cast on Ling Buyi who was sitting by the window reading a book.

As if realizing that Li Fenglan had woken up, Ling Buyi, who was sitting by the window, slowly put down the scroll in his hand, then smiled at him: "Does your head still hurt?"

"Huh?" After one night, Li Fenglan had fully recovered, so after hearing Ling Buyan's words, he hadn't realized what the master said.

Just waiting for the next moment, Li Fenglan finally recalled slowly - last night he was affected by the Gang Qi and had a headache and fever.

...Wait, so it is true that Master did not leave all night and stayed here with me all the time?

No, no, Li Fenglan didn't sleep too soundly at the beginning of last night because of a headache.

So after a short recollection, he remembered—Ling Buyan not only didn't leave last night, he even put a cold handkerchief on his forehead for himself!

Although Ling Buyan was not like his previous master, he stood in white clothes all day long with his sword in his arms, he looked like an immortal. But there is always a feeling of mystery and detachment from everything.

And it's just such a person who actually... actually helped me apply my forehead all night last night?

Li Fenglan felt that something was wrong with this world.

He didn't know, from Ling Buyan's point of view, in just a few breaths, the expression on his face was constantly changing, which was very exciting.

After reacting for a long time, Li Fenglan finally said slowly: "No...it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good." Ling Buyan stood up, moved the book he was reading just now from the window sill to the table, and then slowly opened the window of Li Fenglan's room.

Ling Buyan's movements are very proficient, as if he has done it a thousand times or ten thousand times.

As for Li Fenglan, who was sitting on the bed, at this moment, she actually had a little illusion - she and Ling Buyan are like a family.

wait! Don't think about it!

— As soon as Li Fenglan thought of this, she interrupted herself in her mind.

Li Fenglan was very familiar with the sound of "da da da" outside the window. Duan Wannian has often knocked on his window like this since he became a child.

Sure enough, as soon as the window was opened this time, Li Fenglan saw Duan Wannian's small head.

"Huh?" Seeing that the person who opened the window for him is not tired, Duan Wannian seems a little surprised. But after tilting her head and taking a look at the person opposite, she suddenly let out a meaningful "goo", and then said as if she understood something: "I understand!"

Li Fenglan:?

What do you know?

However, before he could ask this question, another dazzling light shone into the room. The golden wings filled the window in an instant.

It's Duan Qianli!

He appeared too suddenly, a burst of bright light came on suddenly, Li Fenglan narrowed his eyes a little, so that he didn't get caught by his light.

In the next moment, Duan Qianli said angrily: "You, you, you! I never thought I would meet another one! Lingbuti, you ignore Changlun!"

…without regard to Chang Lun

The word sounds a little familiar.

Why does Duan Qianli like to use this idiom so much? Could it be that when he first learned the human language, he was lazy and only memorized these few idioms?

"I'm so **** off! This time I'm going down to the realm to find that... Emperor Dog, Duan Wannian and I are going too!"

"Gu! Yes!" Duan Wannian hurriedly cooed when he heard the word "also". At the same time, he continued to act cute, blinking his golden eyes, and looked at Li Fenglan.

——Ling did not tire of returning to Miguang Mountain earlier than Li Fenglan, so he had already told Duan Qianli and his sister about their plan to go to the human world.

According to Ling Buyi, the reason why they had to become human first before leaving Tianmian Palace was because Duan Qianli and the others could not stay in the Qiankun Sack for a long time.

Once out of the bag, this shiny golden prototype is bound to cause big trouble in the human world and the demon world. But it is different now, because of Duan Wannian's "betrayal", everyone knows that they can become smaller.

Due to the dignity of the leader of the monster clan, Duan Qianli did not agree to Ling Buyi's words.

But now... After seeing such a scene, Duan Qianli agreed no matter what.

Isn't it just getting smaller and losing a little face? Follow, must follow!

Duan Qianli, who had just made a difficult decision at this time, didn't know—after hearing what he said, Li Fenglan was actually a little disappointed.

Not long after, Li Fenglan saw that the door of her room was gently knocked open.

—The next moment, a small white figure rushed in at the fastest speed and landed in Li Fenglan's arms.

It turned out to be Cheng Huang! It actually remembered the way to become smaller.

"Wooooow! Feng Lan!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Cheng Huang rubbed back and forth against Li Fenglan's badness, as if trying to make up for the regret of not being hugged by his master these days.

After a few breaths, it finally calmed down a little, and Cheng Huang rubbed Li Fenglan's shoulder again, and then said cheerfully: "I finally remembered! Cheng Huang is back~! Cheng Huang also wants to go with the master !"

Seeing this situation, Duan Wannian, the little golden bird who was still on the window frame just now, immediately yelled "Coo!" and rushed into the room.

At the same time, Duan Qianli's face suddenly changed when he was crowded outside the window.

—Others may not understand, but he understands.

The "goo" just now was not just for cuteness like before.

When Duan Wannian saw Cheng Huang acting like a baby, in a hurry, he actually... called out the special address for the elders from the monster cubs.

This unlucky sister!
