Tang Nian nodded and looked at Shi Ye with gratitude, not knowing what to say for a moment.

From the time they first met in the Star Dou Great Forest to now, Shi Ye has helped Tang Nian so much.

Tang Nian was not someone who didn't know how to be grateful. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say thank you. It seemed that saying thank you would make the distance between them farther.

At this moment, Shi Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled leisurely, "Based on the relationship between the two of us, some things don't need to be so clearly divided."

The smile on Tang Nian's face froze, like a flower that had suddenly encountered frost and lost its former brightness. An imperceptible hesitation flashed in her eyes.

The azure eyes seemed particularly quiet at this moment, as if the brightest stars in the night sky suddenly dimmed. The curve of the corners of her mouth was still there, but the hint of sadness between her brows could not be concealed.

What kind of subtle and complex relationship exists between them?

Especially between her and Tokoyami.

If someone had asked Tang Nian this question before, she would have told the other person without hesitation that Shi Ye was her good friend, just as close as Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

However, at this moment, the situation has changed. Tang Nian no longer seems willing to regard Shi Ye as just an ordinary friend. As for the specific reason, even Tang Nian himself can hardly explain it clearly.

After a long while, Tang Nian forced himself to slowly raise his head, and tried to restore his usual calm and composed appearance, and asked softly, "What position of god are you going to inherit?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire carriage fell into an eerie silence that made people feel a little depressed.

Shi Ye did not respond to Tang Nian's question immediately. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, deliberately avoiding Tang Nian's inquiring gaze.

Seeing Shi Ye's reaction, a smart person like Tang Nian naturally understood what was in his mind at once. He thought that this matter must be very inconvenient for Shi Ye, so he couldn't easily tell her the truth.

Tang Nian understood what he meant and quickly spoke again, trying to change the slightly awkward topic. He smiled and said, "What have you been busy with recently? We haven't seen each other for a long time since the All-Continent High-Level Spirit Master Competition."

The tacit understanding between Shi Ye and Tang Nian did not need much explanation. When Tang Nian said this, Shi Ye knew that this was a way for him to save face, so he quickly replied, "Nothing, I'm just busy with family matters."

After hearing Shi Ye's words, Tang Nian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a while, he nodded thoughtfully.

She was of course very clear about the fact that Shi Ye's family was wealthy and powerful. She had always believed that Shi Ye was either from a powerful sect like Ning Rongrong, or from a prominent aristocratic family like Zhu Zhuqing. Apart from that, she had not thought too much about other possibilities.

At this moment, Shi Ye's deep eyes stared at Tang Nian closely, as if he wanted to see through her. After a moment, he slowly asked, "Little Tang Nian, if one day someone deceives you, how will you deal with it?"

Tang Nian tilted her head and thought seriously for a long time. Finally, she raised her head and answered with a firm look, "It depends on what kind of lie this person made up. If this lie was told with good intentions when he had no choice, maybe I can choose to forgive him. However, if he deliberately wanted to deceive me from the beginning, then no matter what, I will never forgive him easily!"

When Tang Nian said this, every word he said was loud and powerful, and it seemed that he had made a great determination.

However, she was so focused on expressing her own opinion that she did not notice that the moment she finished speaking, Shi Ye's originally calm face gradually turned as pale as paper.

He tried hard to suppress the turmoil in his heart and tried to make his voice sound gentle, "Well, I understand..."

Tang Nian felt a little strange, looked at Shi Ye and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" Then she gave a wicked smile and said, "Why, did you lie to me?"

Shi Ye opened his mouth, but when he remembered Tang Nian's words, "I will never forgive him", he didn't say anything in the end. Shi Ye avoided Tang Nian's sight uncomfortably and said, "There are a lot of things going on at home these days, and I can't be out for too long. I came to see you. I'll be relieved if I make sure you're okay. I'll leave first."

After saying this, Shi Ye didn't wait for Tang Nian to react. He lifted the curtain of the carriage, hurriedly greeted Dai Mubai and the others, and disappeared in a flash.

Although the strength of Dai Mubai and his companions had greatly improved compared to when they participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition, they were still not enough when facing the Titled Douluo. Before everyone could see Shi Ye's movements clearly, he had already disappeared into the darkness.

Leaving the three of them disheveled in the wind.

The first person to react was Ning Rongrong. She patted Zhu Zhuqing, and the two looked at each other, then ran to the carriage in a hurry.

The two of them sat on either side of Tang Nian, one on the left and one on the right, looking at Tang Nian with their big eyes without blinking, their eyes full of inquiry and curiosity about gossip.

Faced with this situation, Tang Nian coughed lightly, turned his head away, and said somewhat unnaturally, "What are you two going to do?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Niannian, who was that person just now? A Titled Douluo, so young, I have never heard of this person before. You two..." Ning Rongrong smiled and looked at Tang Nian suspiciously.

At this moment, Dai Mubai also walked in and sat opposite the three of them. He was not a gossipy person, but at this moment he looked at Tang Nian with curiosity.

Tang Nian knew that they had no ill intentions, so he smiled helplessly and told the story of how Tang San met the Dragon Lord and the Snake Lady in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As soon as Tang Nian finished speaking, Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "Isn't this a hero saving a beautiful girl? Great, Nian Nian, you actually kept it a secret from us for so many years."

Tang Nian curled his lips and smiled, "By the way, this torso bone of mine was also given to me by him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They all knew how precious Tang Nian's golden dragon trunk bone was, but precisely because of this, Ye was so generous and gave it to him as a gift. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Ning Rongrong smacked her lips and said, "This is strange. I have never heard of such a person among the seven major sects."
