After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 167 Denial

"what happened?"

Looking at Xu Hanyi who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Chuan asked in confusion.

"Will you be unhappy if I deny our relationship in front of outsiders?"

Xu Hanyi bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness and uneasiness. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Lin Chuan's eyes. Her gaze was evasive, and her fingers were twisting the corners of her clothes nervously like a panicked butterfly.

"Nope."

Lin Chuan shook his head. Not only was he not unhappy, he even felt a little fortunate.

"Why, don't you want to make your relationship public with your master?

"Or do you simply not want to become a Taoist partner with me?"

Xu Hanyi suddenly raised his eyes, and the original uneasiness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a hint of paranoia. His gaze was fixed on Lin Chuan with a bit of aggressiveness, as if he wanted to dig out the answer from his face.

"..."

"I like Master, and Master likes me too. That's enough. Whether we become Taoist companions or not, or whether our relationship is public or not, the relationship between Master and me will not change."

Lin Chuan's brain was working rapidly. At this critical moment, he found a reason to appease Xu Hanyi.

At this moment, his eyes were extremely sincere, as if there were stars twinkling in them, his tone was firm and gentle, and every word seemed to be making the most solemn promise to Xu Hanyi.

"Sincerely?"

Xu Hanyi's originally tense expression relaxed a little, but there was still a trace of doubt in her eyes. She moved slightly closer to Lin Chuan, staring into his eyes, as if trying to discern whether his words were sincere or perfunctory.

“Heaven and earth can be used as lessons!”

Lin Chuan had a serious expression on his face, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he looked up at Xu Hanyi's eyes. His gaze was frank and sincere, as if he wanted to reveal his true feelings to her.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Xu Hanyi hummed softly, his tense body gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible arc.

"Chuan'er, wait a moment. After I explain everything to Ying'er, I will announce to the world that you are my Taoist partner, Xu Hanyi!"

Xu Hanyi's delicate face was full of seriousness, and her beautiful eyes were shining with a fiery and determined light.

"..."

"Master, what are you going to say to Senior Sister? How about we wait a little longer..."

Lin Chuan's eyes were full of worry. He was about to try to persuade her, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Hanyi.

"Don't worry about this matter, Chuan'er. I will handle it myself." Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, his tone firm and unquestionable.

"..."

"It's over. This time, I can't escape the Shura Field. My life is over!"

Lin Chuan had a bitter face, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of helplessness and despair.

"Why does Chuan'er suddenly look so sad?" Xu Hanyi tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of concern and confusion.

"No, if Master has nothing else to do, I will go to Lord Dragon." Lin Chuan shook his head slowly and said softly.

"..."

"Go, and come back soon." Xu Hanyi sighed softly, then waved his hand.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan responded, then walked towards Long Zhantian.

Looking at Lin Chuan's departing back, and then looking at Jiang Wanying who was chatting with Bai Zhi in the distance, Xu Hanyi felt mixed emotions.

"Why did it have to be Ying'er?"

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, trying to dispel the annoyance lingering in her heart, but the depressed mood became more and more intense, like an impenetrable haze, weighing heavily on her heart.

……

"What does Lord Dragon want from me?"

Lin Chuan came to a nearby place and looked at Long Zhantian who had been waiting for a long time with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ahem, let's talk while we walk."

Long Zhantian cleared his throat, his eyes filled with mystery. Seeing this, Lin Chuan had no choice but to follow him.

"Lin Chuan." Long Zhantian tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on Lin Chuan.

"Saint Lord Long." Lin Chuan responded hurriedly, and subconsciously slowed down his pace. He looked at Long Zhantian intently, and became more and more curious about what the other party would say next.

"Saint Lord, Saint Lord, it's so strange to call me that. You are about the same age as Gang, so just call me Uncle Long."

Long Zhantian had a kind smile on his face and looked at Lin Chuan gently. His expression was full of kindness, as if he really treated Lin Chuan as his own nephew.

"..."

"Long...Uncle Long?"

Lin Chuan opened his mouth slightly, and spoke haltingly, as if he was not used to it.

"Hey~"

"Uncle won't let you yell for nothing. This is a gift from uncle, take it!"

Long Zhantian had a smile on his face and a bright voice. As he spoke, he handed a storage bag to Lin Chuan. His eyes were full of kindness and enthusiasm, as if he was afraid that Lin Chuan would not accept it.

Lin Chuan took the storage bag in a daze, opened it and took a look, his face immediately showing shock.

"Good boy, isn't this the portion of resources that Zhao Gang allocated?"

"This is what my unworthy disciple obtained from his fierce battles with various geniuses in the ruins. It can be used as a welcome gift for you."

Long Zhantian explained with a smile. Although he was scolding his disciple in his words, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

"???"

"What a fierce battle with all the geniuses." Lin Chuan raised his head and glanced at Zhao Gang who was lying on the ground in the distance and seemed to be sleeping, and shook his head helplessly.

"Since it was obtained by Zhao Gang in a fierce battle, it would be better for Uncle Long to take it back. It doesn't matter if it's just a gift for meeting someone."

Lin Chuan thought about it and returned the storage bag without any hesitation.

"Are you worried about robbing Zhao Gang? Don't worry, I'm taking care of that kid. How could I let him starve? He only uses these resources to deal with me. If I put them at his feet normally, he wouldn't even bend down to pick them up!"

Long Zhantian quickly waved his hand and pushed the storage bag back into Lin Chuan's arms, still with that kind and hearty smile on his face, his words full of understanding and helplessness towards Zhao Gang.

"Well...okay, thank you Uncle Long."

Although Lin Chuan still felt something was wrong, seeing that Long Zhantian was so insistent, he could not refuse any longer and could only accept this kindness.

"Ahem, I've accepted the gift. Now I'm going to ask you a few questions. Can you tell me the truth?"

Long Zhantian cleared his throat, the smile on his face faded a little, and he put on a serious look.

"..."

"Uncle Long, you ask." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Did Zhao Gang slack off in the ruins?"

Long Zhantian raised his eyebrows slightly, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

"Uh……"

"Not only did Zhao Gang not slack off, but without him, Bai Zhi and I would have been in great danger in the ruins."

Looking at the full storage bag in his hand, Lin Chuan thought about it and finally decided to help Zhao Gang.

"He really didn't lie to me. Could it be that this guy has really changed his personality?"

Long Zhantian couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
