The God's Punishment Forest was a dangerous place at the moment. He actually took all the hidden fruits away without leaving a single one behind. Did he not care about her safety at all?
Thinking of this, Su Chan's face became even colder.
Before she could speak, the monk who recognized Bailian's identity had already spoken, "That is Lin Yan, the beloved son of the deputy palace master of Wuming Palace. I heard that this person is gentle and approachable.
He is always courteous and virtuous, and never puts pressure on others based on his status. He has just kindly saved us, and he also wants to form a good relationship with us. We might as well go up and beg him to see if he is willing to share some hidden fruits with us?"
Su Chan frowned, this person's words undoubtedly hit her sensitive and fragile self-esteem hard.
Lu Ji, who is good at observing words and expressions, immediately spoke out and said in relief: "Brother Chen Ming, let's not care about the hidden fruit for now. It is the trophy that fellow Taoist Lin Yan deserves. Without him, we would have been killed by the palm of the mountain ape. Help us."
For your kindness, shouldn’t we express our gratitude in person?”
Chen Ming suddenly said: "Yes, yes, brother Lu Ji is very thoughtful."
Lu Ji gently tugged on Su Chan's sleeves and signaled with his eyes.
Su Chan's face was still cold, but she did not continue to show her temper willfully.
She was not the eldest lady of a noble family, and she knew that she was not qualified to be willful. Su Chan had a clear understanding of the current situation and the situation, so she had no choice but to follow the others.
"Brother Lin Yan, please stay."
Chen Ming hurried forward to greet him, with an eager smile on his face, and called out to Balian.
Balian frowned slightly. He had already fulfilled his agreement with Lin Yan to rescue his fiancée when she was in danger.
Now that Su Chan is safe, he doesn't want to waste time on these people.
But because at this moment, his identity was Lin Yan, he still stopped and turned around to look over.
"What's the matter?"
At this time, Su Chan and others had also come forward. Lu Ji smiled and bowed respectfully, saying: "In the critical situation just now, fellow Taoist generously came to the rescue. We are here to express our gratitude to fellow Taoist for saving his life."
I originally thought that this gentle gentleman would respond politely with a few words like "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning" or something like that.
Unexpectedly, the son of the immortal in front of him acted quite deviated from the rumors. He took out a bag of hidden fruits from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Lu Ji.
Lu Ji held the bag of hidden fruits and said blankly: "What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
Balian said calmly: "Isn't this why you stopped me?"
Seeing that he acted so decisively and grandly, Chen Ming was overjoyed and secretly thought that he really had met a noble person today.
"Fellow Taoist, this is a great kindness that I will never forget!"
This Lin Yan is really as easy to talk to as the rumors say, but his eyes are really not very gentle, but seem a bit distant and difficult to get close to.
Balian didn't respond to their compliments, he just nodded lightly and said, "If you have something to do, I'll leave first."
Although he promised Lin Yan that he would only take action once, to save half of the people and leave them alone was tantamount to no rescue.
Balian will not be stingy with these fruits.
But he didn't know that his behavior had completely angered Su Chan.
Su Chan, who had always kept a cold face and didn't look good, finally broke out: "Lin Yan!"
Baili'an paused.
If possible, he really didn't want to deal with this woman.
Although Lin Yan loved this woman so much that he lost his life.
But Balian, who had read Lin Yan's memory, really didn't have a good impression of Su Chan.
If the genders were swapped, what would be the difference between Su Chan and those poor scholars who came from poor families and claimed to be noble?
Because of anger, he would take advantage of others when he was in a life-or-death crisis and leave alone. Little did he know that in a life-and-death battle, people are most afraid of being distracted.
She only thought that there were many guards around him, but she didn't know that when Lin Yan saw that she was missing, he would become concerned and confused. Under the anxiety, he would lose the most basic ability to judge, leaving him in a dilemma.
Otherwise, under the protection of so many immortal guards, how could he not have the chance to escape intact?
It's just that we are not sure of Su Chan's specific location, and we can't be sure whether she has escaped from danger.
This hesitation ruined his life.
However, Balian doesn't want to judge too much about other people's emotional affairs.
Even until his death, Lin Yan was still resentful of Su Chan. Instead, he was thinking about her safety and asked him to save her at all costs.
Facing Su Chan's cold call, everyone turned their attention, and Lu Ji couldn't help but look surprised.
Balian turned around and looked at each other. Lin Yan should continue to use his identity. After pondering for a moment, he still called out: "Jia Qing."
Su Chan was not from a scholarly family. She was born in a ravine, and since she was a child, she had always been given nicknames that made her earn a living.
She is also not exempt from vulgarity.
The name Su Chan was given to her by the old man at the school when her parents sent her to a township school after they had exhausted their family's money.
Su Chan's courtesy name is Jiaqing, which means "it's difficult to feed myself, but I also raise my family to be clear".
She rarely mentioned the nicknames from the countryside, and even Lin Yan didn't know about them.
Fortunately, Lin Yan is a polite and reserved young master of the Xian family. Even if he made a private engagement, he would only call her by her first name, and would not be like Lu Ji who said "Chan'er" without knowing the right amount.
If not, Balian might have goosebumps all over his body.
But for Su Chan, even if she just calls her by her first name, Lin Yan has never called her so close or distant as now.
Su Chan was stunned for a moment, she endured the fire in her heart, looked at Balian and said calmly: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Ji was surprised and said: "Chan'er, do you know him?"
"Chan'er?" Balian looked towards Lu Ji.
The call was so affectionate.
Of course, he couldn't be interested in Su Chan's good relationship with other men, but he just thought Lin Yan's fiancée was really interesting.
Su Chan was startled when she heard Lu Ji's call, but she soon realized that she and Lu Ji were friends from the same hometown, and there was nothing between them, so why should they feel guilty.
Lin Yan, a young master, was sensible in front of her, but he was too fond of being jealous.
However, Lin Yan also knew that there was something wrong with his suspicion. Every time he became jealous and upset, he would become more nervous and take himself seriously.
Su Chan didn't bother to explain her relationship with Lu Ji. As long as Lin Yan acted recklessly for this unreasonable thing, she would have a reason to teach him.
Unexpectedly, Su Chan couldn't wait for Bai Lian's resentful and angry question. She only heard his "Chan'er?" which was half a smile but not a smile, and her expression seemed to contain a trace of uninterested boredom.
I didn’t mean to pay too much attention to it.
On the contrary, Lu Ji looked at her with a sense of crisis and looked at her very nervously, which made her very embarrassed.
Balian remained silent, the pressure was all on her alone.
If she bluntly said that she was Lin Yan's fiancée, it would be an element of showing off and complacency.
But if it is said that there is no relationship, it will really make Lin Yan feel that he and Nalu Ji are not clear...
Balian didn't say anything, but Su Chan didn't know how to speak.
Su Chan looked at Balian disappointedly, and instead of answering Lu Ji's question, she asked Balian: "What is our relationship?"
Balian couldn't keep pretending to be dumb this time, he said calmly: "Su Chan is Lin Yan's fiancée."
Such a straightforward answer is in line with Lin Yan's usual old-fashioned temperament.
Su Chan did not doubt her, and in front of everyone, for a woman of her background, he was able to acknowledge her identity without hesitation and without hesitation, which gave Su Chan a sense of comfort of being back on track.
As for the shocked and envious looks cast by her companions around her, she has long been accustomed to it, and does not have too many thoughts of showing off proudly.
But only Lu Ji, as if a bolt from the blue, his face was completely drained of blood, he refused to say another word, and became very quiet.
The monk named Chen Ming laughed and tried to smooth things over, saying: "No wonder Fellow Taoist Lin Yan is so generous. It turns out that we are all influenced by Miss Su, hahaha..."
He had a smile on his face, but he was sweating in his heart.
He thought to himself that Su Chan was really causing harm. Since he had such a powerful fiancé, why would he and Lu Ji act like they were in perfect agreement to fight monsters and kill enemies all day long?
Although Lu Ji was somewhat prestigious in Zeguo, compared to Lin Yan, he was not even qualified to carry shoes.
Thinking that he was still a good person for no reason, he had been trying to bring the two of them together intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days.
But I’m really out of my mind!
Su Chan ignored his compliment, looked at Balian and asked, "Where are the guards around you?"
Normally, this young master is arrogant at first and respectful at the back, and is served by many people. Today, it is unusual for him to be alone alone.
"They all died in the battle."
When it comes to people he doesn't know well and doesn't want to get to know, Balian will become very less talkative.
Su Chan was stunned, thinking he was joking: "All died in the battle?"
Bai Lian hummed and added: "There are no bones left."
Seeing his expression, Su Chan knew that this was not a joke. She vaguely guessed the cause and effect, and a trace of panic and guilt suddenly flashed through her heart, "Lin Yan, I..."
Boom!!!
In the sky, the faint sound of thunder echoed again.
At this time, the wind was rumbling, and thunder was often accompanied by heavy rain. Everyone's complexions suddenly turned pale, and they looked around with vigilance and uneasiness.
Balian raised his head and glanced at the sky, and saw that the divine brilliance emanating from the Dongtian Temple surrounded by stars was flickering, with a faint appearance of collapse.
This Dongtian Temple has stood erect for thousands of years, but now it is being consumed at an unusually fast rate.
Balian felt that someone must be taking advantage of the chaos behind this.
The prophecy that Shen Jibai brought from the Golden Immortal Guardian Map is also very concerning. If the Emperor and Queen really died, the situation would probably become even more troublesome.
He had no other thoughts on entangled with these people, and said with a cold expression: "Look at the day, it seems that it will go down again soon. Now that you have obtained the hidden fruit, you might as well find a hidden and safe place, and everyone will draw the ground to form a barrier. It should last a little longer."
Lu Ji shook the hidden fruit in the bag in his hand and frowned.
If he were just an ordinary fellow Taoist, that would be fine. He would definitely be very grateful for this hidden fruit.
But with such a close relationship between him and Su Chan, it would be too stingy to take action with these hidden results.
"If Dao Brother Lin Yan is worried about our safety, you might as well take out some hidden fruits. I'm afraid these quantities are only enough for each of us to share one evenly."
Chen Ming was very supportive of this proposal. He had a smile on his face and was about to speak when he heard Balian say lightly: "Why should I worry about your safety?"
Chen Ming and Lu Ji's faces froze, and they saw the young man opposite them glance at them calmly and naturally: "What does your life have to do with me?"
A simple word made everyone present change their expressions.
Lu Ji didn't know how to refute for a moment.
After all, the principle in this world is that those powerful and powerful people treat ordinary monks like ants, let alone try to protect them in such a crisis.
I just didn't expect that Lin Yan, who was always known for his good temper, would speak so ruthlessly.
Lu Ji was so angry that he saw Su Chan on the side who didn't look very good. His mind whirled and he had another idea. He laughed at himself and said: "That's right, we are just unqualified practitioners in the lower world. Our lives will be ruined." In the eyes of fellow Taoists, it is naturally not worth mentioning. It is reasonable for fellow Taoists to look down on us.
I was overestimating my abilities. I thought that along the way, I and Chan'er would become partners through life and death, and fellow Taoists would take care of me for Chan'er's sake. But unexpectedly, I was also the one. I overestimated Chan'er's importance in your heart."
Sure enough, Su Chan's face became even more ugly as soon as she said this.
She married Lin Yan, and she didn't want others to think that she was superior to her. It would be fine if Lin Yan valued her in every possible way, but if it was like this now, her status as a fiancée would be ridiculous.
It seems that she left without permission this time, which distracted him and caused all the elite guards around him to die in the God's Punishment Forest. This probably made him really angry.
After all, Lin Yan had never been so arrogant towards her.
Su Chan also knew that she was in the wrong, so she softened her voice and said slowly: "Lin Yan, they are all my friends, and they have taken good care of me in the past few days. If you have extra fruit, why not share more?"
Some……"
Before she finished speaking, she saw her 'fiancé' on the other end taking two serious steps forward, silently taking back the bag of hidden fruits from Lu Ji's hand, and then silently taking back Qiankun.
In the bag.
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he felt annoyed that he had been fooled: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?!"
Bai Lian put the Qiankun bag away and said seriously: "Your Excellency's words just now woke me up and made me react. Since I look down on you, why waste this good hidden fruit and give it to people I look down on?
It’s really meaningless.”
Lu Ji has never dealt with this kind of situation. Aren't these powerful people the most sanctimonious? How could they admit it so openly?
He still didn't take back his free hand, and said subconsciously, "That's not what I meant when I said this..."
"That's not what it means, but there are several other meanings."
Balian always kept a tepid tone and said slowly: "Could it be that you don't really think that I am looking down on you, but you are deliberately using words to induce me to hand over more hidden secrets?"
fruit."
For this kind of twists and turns, hitting a straight ball always has the power to hit it in one hit.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the monks nearby could not guess what Lu Ji was really thinking.
Balian slowly cast a disdainful look: "This move is too mean."
