Fall: Rebirth

Less than a few miles away from the land of exile, there is a place called "The Nether Forest". The trees here are all transformed from vengeful spirits, and each tree has its own consciousness.

Every night, the trees will release a special fragrance to attract creatures from the divine world. Once they are entangled by the trees, their vitality will be sucked away.

In order to prevent this from happening, the gods arranged special night watchmen who had to patrol at night and burn these trees with special flames to protect the safety of the gods.

This Netherworld Forest is under the jurisdiction of the three great disciples under the God of Fire.

Huanyang had nothing to do today, so he wanted to find Yichun to play with him, but unexpectedly he was accidentally injured by him.

At this moment, Huanyang was sitting alone in front of a wooden table outside the Nether Forest, staring down at the scars on the back of his hands, shaking his head helplessly.

"Senior Brother, are you injured?" Yan Lan walked hurriedly and saw the shocking wounds on the back of Huanyang's hand at a glance. He couldn't help but frowned, and hurriedly came to sit beside him, asking with concern.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about." Huanyang clapped his hands nonchalantly, but his eyes were evasive, as if hiding some secret.

"I just met Yi Chun..." Huanyang lowered his voice and continued to mutter to himself.

"Why is she here?" Min Ye looked over when he heard the voice, and also came forward and sat down beside him, asking curiously.

Huan Yang shrugged his shoulders and explained helplessly, "I was just bored, so I thought of going to play with her and see if she had made any progress in her cultivation recently, so I sneaked up on her. Who knew she would react so quickly? Not only did she ignore me, she treated me coldly, and even scratched me."

Yan Lan couldn't help but smile after hearing this and teased, "You two are really a pair of enemies. Every time you meet, you always have some small quarrels."

"If you ask me, Senior Brother, you attacked others and then blamed them for being cold to you. This time she didn't fight with you like she did before, which was already a sign of mercy." Min Ye fanned the flames and did not forget to pour cold water on Huan Yang.

"I..." Huanyang opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute the other party at all.

He couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. He originally just wanted to make a joke to tease Yi Chun, but who knew that she would take it so seriously.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. With Yi Chun's cold personality, how could he just laugh off such a sneak attack?

Thinking of this, Huanyang couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt.

"Come to think of it, Senior Brother and Yi Chun used to be enemies! Every time he saw her, he wanted to avoid her, let alone take the initiative to talk to her. But now, not only does he take the initiative to speak, he even goes so far as to make himself look so embarrassed..." Yan Lan's eyes were fixed on Huanyang, as if she wanted to see through his face to see through his true thoughts.

Huanyang was a little confused by Yanlan's question, but he quickly reacted and explained: "That's because you are not here! I was too bored alone, so I thought of teasing her for fun, but I didn't expect that she would be so stubborn. By the way, didn't you go back to visit Master? Why are you back so soon? Shouldn't you stay overnight before coming back?"

Hearing Huanyang's question, Minye looked at Yanlan embarrassedly, and moved his lips but no sound came out.

Yan Lan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and also looked at Min Ye without saying a word.

The atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat subtle, as if there was a tacit understanding that only the two of them understood.

Seeing this situation, Huanyang finally couldn't help it. He looked at Yanlan and Minye with suspicion and asked again: "What's going on with you two? Don't just stand there smiling foolishly, talk! What happened?" There was a hint of anxiety and curiosity in his tone, and he was obviously intrigued by their actions.

Yan Lan sighed softly, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone, and slowly said: "Alas, this is all thanks to the little junior brother who was just accepted by the master! This little junior brother has only been in the God Realm for a month, but his cultivation is so profound that he is almost catching up with our third junior brother. I was afraid of being blamed by the master, so I didn't even dare to stay for one more night and hurried back."

"How could such a thing happen?" An expression of disbelief appeared on Huanyang's face.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, I have to say that my junior brother's cultivation is indeed not to be underestimated. If we don't work hard to cultivate, I'm afraid that when we go back next time, I may not be his opponent." Min Ye sighed with a frustrated look on his face.

It was the first time for Huanyang and Yanlan to see Minye so serious. They couldn't help but smile at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
