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

Chapter 164 Betrothal Gift

Outside the ruins.

A violent white light suddenly erupted at the entrance of the ruins, followed by a large wave of people being called out.

"Chuan'er."

"Achuan."

Not far away, Jiang Wanying and Xu Hanyi, upon hearing the noise, immediately turned their gaze towards the crowd coming out of the ruins, anxiously searching around in the crowd, their eyes full of anxiety and anticipation.

“Not coming out…”

Jiang Wanying looked back and forth in the crowd several times. When she didn't see the figure she thought about, she immediately panicked and rushed towards the entrance of the ruins. Xu Hanyi followed closely behind her.

"Master, will Ah Chuan..."

After confirming that no one was called out from the entrance, Jiang Wanying hugged Xu Hanyi and sobbed softly in her arms.

"No... no, Chuan'er just hasn't come out yet."

Xu Hanyi rubbed Jiang Wanying's head, his voice trembling slightly.

"My Gang didn't come out either, and neither did Bai Zhi and your Lin Chuan. Could it be that the three of them left together?"

"Those with weaker cultivation than them all returned safely, so it doesn't make sense that only the three of them would get into trouble, right?"

Although Long Zhantian was a little anxious at this time, he was generally more patient than Xu Hanyi and the others.

"Om."

At this moment, a violent white light suddenly burst out from the entrance of the ruins again, and then another large wave of people were called out.

The number of people in this group was much smaller than before, and all of them were covered in blood.

"Inner sect disciple Huang Ningbing greets Master Xu Feng."

A girl in a yellow dress with blood stains on her clothes came up to Xu Hanyi and bowed her head.

"Ah."

Xu Hanyi responded indifferently, his eyes scanning back and forth among the second group of people coming out, but still couldn't find the familiar figure.

"Master Xu Feng, hasn't Lin Chuan come out yet?"

Huang Ningbing raised her head slightly, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no sign of Lin Chuan around Xu Hanyi, she finally couldn't help but ask.

"How do you know that Achuan entered the ruins? Have you seen Achuan in the ruins?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wanying hurried over, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

"Lin Chuan did walk with me at the beginning, but later..." Huang Ningbing recounted everything that happened in the ruins.

……

Within the ruins.

A quiet atmosphere enveloped the surroundings. A day and a night had passed since Zhao Gang started meditating and regulating his breathing.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Looking at Zhao Gang who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away, Lin Chuan couldn't help but walk forward and put his hand to feel his breath.

"Breathing steadily..."

"Could it be..."

Lin Chuan slowly moved closer to Zhao Gang's ear and whispered softly:

"Xiaohua, I'm back..."

"!!!"

Zhao Gang suddenly opened his eyes and instantly distanced himself from Lin Chuan. He looked at the person in front of him with vigilance. Only after he saw that the person was Lin Chuan did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lin?! You scared me to death. I thought that pervert was back again."

As Zhao Gang spoke, he patted his chest, looking frightened.

"..."

"You are amazing. You can even fall asleep like this." Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, there's nothing I can do. I'm too tired." Zhao Gang touched his head and smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he was complaining madly:

"Alright, alright. One of you threatened me with my laziness and told me to sit in meditation without being told, and the other one came over to scare me. You two have done so many bad things! How did I end up running into two sinister bastards like you?"

"Since everything is fine, let's get ready to go out." Lin Chuan didn't dwell on this topic too much, but slowly walked towards Ran's position.

"Thank you. When we get out later, I'll definitely put in a few good words for you in front of your master."

After Lin Chuan left, Bai Zhi came over and sincerely thanked Zhao Gang.

"It's okay." Zhao Gang waved his hand, looking indifferent.

not far away.

"Senior, we are planning to leave. Please open the entrance."

Lin Chuan spoke softly to Ran, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and seemed to be recovering from his injuries.

"Ah."

Ran slowly opened her eyes, her gaze lingered on Lin Chuan for a moment, and she slowly nodded.

"I'm returning this to you. Remember to keep it safe."

"These are the cultivation resources here that have not been taken away by others. You can take them as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white light and a pile of cultivation resources appeared in front of Lin Chuan.

"Why don't you keep some?" Looking at the astonishing amount of cultivation resources in front of him, Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"No matter what, I took advantage of you by exchanging twenty years of my life for this immortal relic. The cultivation resources here should be returned to you." Ran shook her head slowly and rejected Lin Chuan's proposal.

"Row."

Lin Chuan was not pretentious and immediately called Bai Zhi and Zhao Gang to divide up the cultivation resources.

"Thank you for the resources, Brother Lin. I won't be polite then."

Although Zhao Gang, as the Son of God, was not particularly interested in these resources, he still took the part allocated to him. After all, it would be easier to report if he could bring something back.

"Keep my share."

Lin Chuan and Bai Zhi spoke almost at the same moment, their words coming out in unison, as if they had rehearsed it in advance.

"..."

The air seemed to be silent for a moment.

"You've fallen seriously, and these resources can help you recover quickly. Take them."

Bai Zhi's clear eyes were full of worry and concern. She neatly put her share of resources into the storage bag, and then gently placed it in Lin Chuan's hand with a tenderness that could not be refused.

"No, we came here together, how can we let you go out empty-handed?"

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his tone revealing a stubbornness. He shook his head like a rattle, then quickly put his share of resources into the storage bag and handed it back without hesitation.

"That's not what I came here for."

"I know."

“These resources will be more useful to you.”

"..."

"In my hometown, when a man marries a wife, he will give her some money and property. This is called a betrothal gift."

"..."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and her fair face instantly turned red with shame. The blush was like the sunset in the sky, spreading from her cheeks to her ears. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to start.

Finally, under Lin Chuan's so-called "hometown tradition", Bai Zhi lowered her head shyly, her hands trembling slightly, and solemnly took the resources handed by Lin Chuan into her arms.

"I have already sent the other people out of the ruins. It's time for you to leave too."

After Lin Chuan and the others had divided up the resources, Ran picked up the emerald green bead, raised her hand and waved it gently, and a light and shadow that looked like a portal gradually emerged in the air.

"See you later, senior."

"See you later."

"See you later."

The three of them saluted with fists, then turned around and walked towards the exit that was emitting a soft glow.
