After a long silence, when the slightly wet feeling in her eyes dissipated, Shen Qing took a deep breath, sat up on her knees, faced Chu Yan, and bowed to the ground.

The long hair was spread down, revealing the girl's white and slender neck and smooth back, now bent into an attractive bow shape, but Shen Qing didn't care, and she also knew that Chu Yan wouldn't care either.

"I hope you can become my teacher." Shen Qing's voice came, "This is the decision I made when I met you for the first time, and it is also the reason why I came to Broken Star Tower."

After finishing speaking, she straightened up and looked at Chu Yan quietly with clear eyes.

From her eyes, Chu Yan saw a determination similar to his own.

"She is very similar to you." Looking at himself reflected in Shen Qing's eyes, Chu Yan was in a trance and heard what Zhou Kai said at that time.

At this moment, Chu Yan had to admit that Shen Qing was indeed a lot like himself in some aspects.

After hearing Shen Qing's request, Chu Yan's mind couldn't help but start spinning.

He recalled what Yang said when he handed the identity jade token to him in Suyin Valley.

"Some things can be passed down from generation to generation—" Chu Yan murmured to himself.

This is also what he realized during those few days in front of the Xinghai Tree.

What can be passed down is not only blood and gōngfǎ, but also a certain will and spirit.

Compared with the tangible blood, gōngfǎ, and intangible will and spirit, they can be passed down longer and are less likely to be erased by time.

Looking at Shen Qing's serious look, Chu Yan pondered for a long time and made one of the most important decisions in his life.

"good."

"teacher."

Fragments of sunlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, shining on the bodies of Chu Yan and Shen Qing.

On this afternoon of late spring and early summer, two people of the same age decided to become masters and apprentices. Their fates, which might never have crossed paths again in this life, became bound at this moment.

After looking at Shen Qing for a moment, Chu Yan said: "If you want to tell outsiders about our relationship, I won't stop you, but I think you shouldn't tell others casually. You talk too little."

Shen Qing lowered her head and hummed softly.

For some reason, Chu Yan felt that there seemed to be a hint of smile in the other person's voice.

"Besides, since you have become my student, don't you think you need to do something to your teacher that you wouldn't do to others?" Chu Yan thought for a moment and said.

Shen Qing blinked, seeming to be thinking about what Chu Yan meant by "things you wouldn't do to other people."

After a moment, she nodded: "Okay."

As she spoke, she began to tuōyī.

The movements were extremely natural, as if he was doing something completely normal.

However, Shen Qing had just unbuttoned her front shirt when she was held down by Chu Yan.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Yan was shocked.

"Do things to your teacher that you would not do to others." Shen Qing answered seriously, without any intention of joking.

"I believe it now. Your father failed to educate you..." Chu Yan had a headache and pinched his eyebrows. "Okay, let it go. It's not what you think. I just want you to smile. I have never I’ve seen you smile before. Speaking of which, you will laugh, right?”

Chu Yan looked at Shen Qing expectantly.

Shen Qing seemed a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether she was shy about her behavior just now, or she was shy about showing her smile in front of Chu Yan.

Then, Chu Yan saw the corners of Shen Qing's mouth trembling slightly and the corners of her eyes twitching strangely. In a moment, a delicate and charming little beauty turned into a porcelain doll that seemed to be burned out.

Seeing Shen Qing's expression of trying hard to laugh but looking ugly even though she was crying, Chu Yan gave up completely, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to laugh anymore."

Hearing these words, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to her usual expressionless look.

"I don't know what's going on with Senior Brother Su and Senior Sister Jiang." Chu Yan looked into the distance.

The plan he made at that time was that he would stay and observe the situation while Su Jianyuan, Jiang Panmeng and Shen Qing left in three separate ways, and would meet up at another place a few days later.

Now that he has killed Jia Ze and Gu Bin, Su Jianyuan and Jiang Panmeng's opponents are the two remaining members of the Nine Saint Sect, Meng Xiuqi and You Yun.

According to Chu Yan's estimation, there should be no problem between the two of them.

"It's useless to worry now. I believe they will be fine," Chu Yanxin said.

Instructing Shen Qing to meditate on the spot and continue to recover from her injuries, Chu Yan walked back, cut off Gu Bin's head and stuffed it into a storage bag.

As long as you kill a disciple of the Nine Saint Sect and bring back the opponent's head as a certificate, Broken Star Tower will secretly reward you.

The most valuable thing Chu Yan got from Gu Bin was, in addition to the mysterious map that had not been clarified yet, and the gongfǎ booklet of the Ghost Shou Qihuang Slayer.

Ghost Head Qihuang Slash is an earth-level martial skill. Although Chu Yan is not of much use to himself, if he takes it back and donates it to the sect, he will naturally get a sum of sect contribution points.

Apart from these two things, the one that can bring more benefits to Chu Yan is Gu Bin's head.

As for Jia Ze, his body was blown to pieces and his head looked like a squashed tomato. He was unrecognizable even when he was taken back.

However, Chu Yan was lucky and found the identity jade token that was blown away by the opponent.

Although this kind of thing cannot be completely used as evidence, with Chu Yan's character, no one will doubt him.

The healing powder provided by Chu Yan was even better than expected. After a night's rest, Shen Qing's wounds were almost healed.

The next morning, the two of them walked in the direction agreed with Su Jianyuan and the others.

Along the way, they did not encounter any more monsters, but when they crossed a mountain stream, Chu Yan and the others saw a fierce battle taking place below the mountain stream.

More than a dozen mortals, protected by several warriors and monks, were retreating.

They were surrounded by seven or eight brown bears with a ring of white bristles around their necks.

Each of these brown bears is very strong. They stand nearly as tall as two adults. They have rough skin and thick flesh. Their claws are as big as a washbasin. When they wave, they even make the sound of wind and thunder. Their nails are four or five inches long. , like a sharp bǐshǒu, a steel plate as thick as the palm of your hand can be easily cut open.

"The white-necked bear with sharp claws is just a wild beast." Chu Yan glanced at the warriors and monks fighting these beasts.

There were about five warriors and two monks protecting the group of mortals. However, for some reason, the five warriors were all injured. One of them even had a broken arm. Blood was pouring from the wound on the broken arm. .

Judging from the pale faces and limited fighting power of the two monks, they were probably seriously injured and were just trying their best to fight at the moment.

This group of warriors and monks are all injured, and beasts like the white-necked clawed bear are notoriously resistant to beatings. Once they are promoted to wild beasts like the white-kissed clawed bear, they are even more difficult to kill. So at this time, this group of

Warriors and monks were obviously suppressed.
