Lin Zhen lowered his head to help the beauty in his arms, frowned slightly and said, "Liu Zhen, what's wrong? Someone is bullying you?"

Liu Zhen looked up at Lin Zhen, and slowly shook his head with tears in his eyes: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about you these days. Damn you, you still know how to come back! If you can't come back, I really don't know what I should do.

.”

Lin Zhen's tiger body trembled slightly, and then he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Zhen's cheeks with a smile on his face, then turned his head and said to Yun Hua: "Yun Hua, go ahead. If anything happens, I will naturally come to you.

"

Yunhua bowed his head respectfully and agreed: "Yes, Yunhua will be stationed at the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city. If Lin Zhuang has anything to do, you can come to me at the Yuelai Inn at any time." After saying that, he got on the carriage.

After winking at the driver, the two of them left the place.

It was only then that Lin Zhen held Liu Zhen's hand, smiled at Zheng Ai who was standing at the door, and said, "Stop standing stupidly at the door. Let's go home."

"Yes, Master." Zheng Ai bowed and agreed, then slowly closed the door behind Lin Zhen and Liu Zhen.

Seeing that Zheng Ai was so polite, Lin Zhen nodded slightly, and then led the two women straight to the hall, where they sat unceremoniously on the main seat, and asked Liu Zhen and Zheng Ai to sit on the left and right sides respectively.

Only then did Lin Zhen finally say, "Liu Zhen, I've been away for half a month, has anything happened at home?"

Liu Zhen and Zheng Ai looked at each other, a look of worry flashed across their faces, but soon they both smiled and said to Lin Zhen: "It's okay, everything is fine at home."

"That's good." Lin Zhen nodded, and then looked at Liu Zhen and Zheng Ai carefully.

When he saw Liu Zhen, Lin Zhen made no move. But when he saw Zheng Ai, Lin Zhen's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

"Zheng Ai, come here." Lin Zhen ordered unceremoniously.

"Yes, Master." Zheng Ai stood up slowly, then moved lightly to stand next to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen reached out and grabbed Zheng Ai's lotus-like jade hand, and then gently closed his eyes, as if he was searching for something.

After a moment, Lin Zhen showed a look of surprise on his face. He opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Ai and said: "The spiritual energy in your body has initially condensed. You are currently at the first level of the Qi refining stage, right?"

There was a trace of contentment on Zheng Ai's face, but she still nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, thanks to the book 'Qingyun Jue' left by the master, Ai'er was lucky enough to understand one or two of them, and barely reached the lowest level.

The Qi refining period.”

A joyful expression suddenly appeared on Lin Zhen's face, and he nodded repeatedly: "Very good! I didn't expect that you are also a person with spiritual roots! Well, you can practice with me from now on."

Zheng Ai was overjoyed when she heard this, and then nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

Liu Zhen on the side couldn't help but look sad when he heard this.

At first, Liu Zhen and Zheng Ai meditated on the 'Qingyun Jue' together, but Zheng Ai quickly sensed the aura of heaven and earth, while Liu Zhen didn't feel it at all.

This illustrates the cruel reality that Liu Zhen is just an ordinary person without spiritual roots.

If Zheng Ai and Lin Zhen practice together in the future and go to the road of immortality together, Liu Zhen will become a mortal and gradually grow old and eventually disappear.

Fate is so cruel after all. After finally getting someone you like, do you have to face this result?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhen clenched his fists tightly unconsciously, and his beautiful face turned slightly pale.

Lin Zhen comforted Zheng Ai for a few words, then looked at Liu Zhen and said, "Liu Zhen, I may have to stay in seclusion for a while, so I will leave you to take care of the things at home."

Liu Zhen was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded quickly and said with a smile: "I'm here for family matters, so you just need to be at ease."

"Very good." Lin Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked about the recent situation of the gangs in Fancheng, and what happened at home in the past half month. After learning that everything was stable, he smiled and said: "Okay, since everything is

It's all right, I can go into seclusion with peace of mind. Zheng Ai, come with me, I have some things to tell you." After saying that, he took Zheng Ai out of the hall.

"Wait! Lin Zhen..." Seeing this, Liu Zhen quickly stood up and stopped Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen said slightly surprised: "Is there anything else?"

Hearing what Lin Zhen said, Liu Zhen slowly lowered his eyes and stared at something on the ground. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhen with a hint of hope, and said softly: "It's getting late, let's eat together.

After dinner, how about you two go into retreat?"

Lin Zhen laughed, nodded and said, "Of course."

It was night, Liu Zhen really put a lot of thought into cooking a large table full of tempting food, then sat next to Lin Zhen and personally served Lin Zhen to eat.

After seeing Lin Zhen enjoying the meal without being picky, Liu Zhen was obviously very happy and repeatedly advised Lin Zhen to eat more. Lin Zhen didn't think anything of it, but what surprised Zheng Ai on the side was that Liu Zhen, who rarely drank alcohol,

I drank a lot by myself tonight.

Finally, Liu Zhen was drunk, and Lin Zhen asked Zheng Ai to help her into the back hall. Then he entered a clean empty room on the east side of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

After a while, Zheng Ai finally entered the room, then saluted Lin Zhenfu and said softly: "Master, Ai'er is here."

Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Ai.

After many days of meditation, Zheng Ai has shown her own unique temperament and beauty. In terms of appearance alone, she is only a hair behind Liu Zhen.

Zheng Ai looks quite mature in her behavior. In fact, she is only sixteen years old, which is a full eight years younger than Fu Zhen. However, at this age, she is the time when her skin is clear and her hair is flawless. Especially Zheng Ai is wearing a perfect outfit today.

She was wearing a plain white singlet, covered with a thin layer of green gauze. Coupled with her sculpted pink skin, it looked even more pink-white and dark-green, elegant and refined.

Although Zheng Ai's figure is not as plump and round as Liu Zhen's, she is both fat and thin, and each has its own strengths. And unlike Liu Zhen's clear Jianghu aura, Zheng Ai has the aura of a rich family member.

A unique aristocratic atmosphere. This unique temperament not only makes her look as textured as a pine chrysanthemum, and as airy as an orchid, but also has a soft and delicate body with shaved shoulders and a plain waist, showing a unique slenderness of a woman.

.

Zheng Ai saw Lin Zhen looking at her without blinking, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and then she whispered in a coy voice: "Master, why are you looking at Ai'er like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhen was slightly stunned, as if he had just come back to his senses. However, Lin Zhen's expression soon became solemn, and he said: "Zheng Ai, since you have successfully condensed your spiritual energy and entered the world of cultivation.

, from now on you and I will be like-minded. You don’t need to call me ‘Master’ from now on.”

Zheng Ai was taken aback, and quickly knelt on the ground and bowed her head and said: "Master, Zheng Ai owes you a great kindness! This body has long been decided to be used by the master, and I will never dare to have the slightest intention of betrayal! Why did the master say this?

?”

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Since you have entered the world of cultivation, your future achievements will not be lower than Lin's, so why insist on recognizing me as your master? It's still too late to regret it now. Even if you and I

After the relationship between master and servant is terminated, I will also protect you in your cultivation until you are able to protect yourself. However, if you really want to recognize me as your master, you must not betray me in this life. Have you thought clearly?"

"This..." When Zheng Ai heard this, she couldn't help but hesitate. She looked up again and glanced at Lin Zhen, who had always maintained a calm expression. Finally, she gritted her silver teeth and nodded: "Master, Zheng Ai has thought it through! Zheng Ai has thought it through."

I swear here that I will never betray my master in this life, otherwise I will be struck by five thunders and die!"

Hearing Zheng Ai make such an oath, Lin Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief, then slowly took out his hands that had been hidden in his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Very good, since you have this intention,

Lin will never treat you badly in the future! Come over here."
