Master is unreliable

Wei Ran clenched his fists and cast his eyes on Chu Lan viciously. He knew that this incident must have something to do with him.

Wei Ran was feeling annoyed when he suddenly felt Wei Ping's gaze sweep over him, he hurriedly suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes, and lowered his head.

Chu Lan didn't care about Wei Ran at all. When these young men rushed out, he turned his head slightly and looked around.

After searching around, but not finding Duan Li's figure, Chu Lan looked away. At this moment, a cherry blossom came with the wind and landed on his shoulder.

The direction of the wind was not the direction of Luoying Peak. Chu Lan held the cherry blossom in her hand, her eyes lit up slightly.

He looked in the direction of the wind, and he really saw Duan Li standing on an unnamed small mountain opposite.

Duan Li turned out that fox mask again at some point and put it on his face.In the sun, it looks a little funny, but also a little cute.

He casually sat down on the ground and reached out to touch something beside him.

It was only then that Chu Lan realized that there was a pitch-black thing lying beside Duan Li's feet, which looked like a beast.

But under Duan Li's caress, the beast trembled uncontrollably, as if it was very frightened.

Chu Lan quickly looked away, and heard Lei Kai yelling at the young men, "Do you still have any rules? Don't you know what day it is today? Someone, get them—"

Wei Ping said: "What's the matter with you, please tell me."

Wei Ping's voice was very soft, but he easily overwhelmed Lei Kai's scolding. Lei Kai glanced at Wei Ping and sat back resentfully.

"Report to all the elders." One of the thin and pale young men said, "We all saw what happened just now, those children did not lie, those medicines were indeed sold to us by Wei Ran. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Wei Ran got up angrily: "You fart!"

"I didn't!" the young man said, "Several elders, I entered Tianzhaomen the year before last. In the past two years, I have lived a life that would have been worse than death. In order to buy that medicine, my family's ancestral home and fields They were all sold, and my parents borrowed money everywhere and worked around, but the money couldn’t last for a few months.”

Qi He said: "Why didn't you tell us that something like this happened?"

The young man said: "At first I didn't dare, I knew it was against the rules of the house, and I was afraid of being kicked out. Later, my father fell ill and my family couldn't afford the money for the medicine, so I went to intercede with them and let them A few days of grace, but they ignored me at all, and asked me to find a way to get money. If there is no money, there will be no medicine.

"Later, I met a few people who had the same situation as me. We found that all the people who took the medicine couldn't even do the most basic fencing, let alone practice other things. , can only be assigned to the back mountain to do some chores."

Having said this, the young man took a deep breath before continuing: "It wasn't until that time that we realized that this person surnamed Wei is a liar. We went to him to reason, but he still used lies to prevaricate. In the end, we couldn't take it anymore. He just wanted to tell the story, who would have thought that he would threaten us if we dare to tell the story, and kill our family members! He said he had our address in his hand.”

Another child said: "Not only that, after we exposed Wei Ran's lies, he still forced us to buy his medicine. He said that if other people in his family find out that we are ordinary people, they will also attack our family. But where can we get so much money? He said..."

When the young man said this, he seemed to recall something terrible, and his already pale and blue face became even paler.

After a while, the boy continued: "He secretly raised a ferocious beast in his room, and that ferocious beast likes to eat meat, he, he said... If we really can't afford the money, we can cut the meat for medicine. "

Lei Kai scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense! But how could you do such a vicious thing!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" The boy said as he got up and took off his clothes.

Lei Kai widened his eyes and said, "Hey, you, what are you doing undressing? How decent is it in front of so many people!"

The boy didn't say a word, he gritted his teeth and took off his pants.

The boy's arms and legs were wrapped with thick gauze, when the gauze was removed, everyone present widened their eyes, and even Lei Kai fell silent.

There were several dents on the boy's arms and legs, and all the flesh and blood there were gone, only hideous and ugly scars remained.

One of the wounds was infected and had begun to fester. Because the boy forcibly tore off the gauze, thick black blood was flowing out.

There was a gasp from the crowd, even Wei Ping and Lei Kai couldn't help frowning, Lin Suran and Qi He even showed expressions of unbearable expression.

Some of the newly recruited disciples standing in the open space bent down and started to vomit, while others cried out of fright.

Chu Lan looked away from the young man with scars all over his body, and looked at Wei Ran who was beside him.I saw Wei Ran's expression was calm, and there was no sign of guilt or repentance on his face.

He couldn't help clenching his back teeth. He couldn't understand why a person's heart could be so vicious.

**

The boy's companions also took off their shirts, they were all the same as the boy, the tragic situation made people unbearable to look at.

With red eyes, a young man said tremblingly: "Elder, we are not lying! Not only did Wei Ran do such a thing, but he also ordered people to monitor us and limit our activities to..."

Wei Ran interrupted him with a sneer: "You said that I let people monitor you, so how did you appear here? Don't you think your statement is contradictory? Also, as a disciple of Tianzhaomen, I How could I do such a crazy thing? Besides, I have been living on the mountain since I was a child, and all my brothers and sisters know that I don’t keep pets. Even if I did, how could I feed them with human meat? It’s wrong for me what is the benefit?"

The crowd of onlookers whispered: "That's right, Brother Wei is right. These people lie and don't know how to use their brains. What kind of pets need to be fed with human flesh, and they are not magical pets."

Someone asked in a low voice: "Magic pet?"

"It's a kind of beast in the demon world. It is deeply loved by the nobles in the demon world. It is usually used for amusing. Do you know about fighting beasts? It is similar to folk cockfighting and dogfighting. Choose two magic pets and put them in a cage. They fight and kill each other. Oh, by the way, generally this kind of activity has a lottery, and the lottery is not small. Whichever magic pet wins in the end, the corresponding lottery will fall on its owner."

"But what does this have to do with human flesh?"

"It is said that a demon once used human flesh to feed a magic pet, and that magic pet became more and more ferocious. It can be said that it has won a lot of good things for its master."

"Is this true?" The person who asked the question frowned, and said with disgust on his face: "The demons are really hateful."

Someone next to them joined their topic: "However, since Emperor Chixiao expelled the demons from the land of the human world 1000 years ago, the demon pets have also disappeared. Although the demons reappeared in the human world this time, it seems that they are not There is no shadow of a familiar."

"So, aren't these people just lying?"

"You don't have to think about it, you must be lying. You don't even think about whose nephew Wei Ran is, and as he said, we are in Tianzhaomen today, and we see each other without looking up. Who has seen him keep a pet? "

"It seems so."

Hearing these words, Wei Ran couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth. He looked at Chu Lan opposite, with a mocking smile in his eyes, but it was so fleeting that others couldn't catch it.

Wei Ran said: "You masters and apprentices are really capable. You have only been back for a few days, and you have bought so many people. But it is a pity that your wishful thinking was wrong. I did not recruit these people."

Before Chu Lan could speak, she heard a young man say, "Wei Ran, you..."

Wei Ran turned his head suddenly, and his sharp and fierce eyes fell on the young man.

He stared at the young man slyly, sweating from the young man's eyes, and he paused before turning his head to face Wei Ping, Lei Kai and the others.

Wei Ran: "Uncle, Master, the year before last was the first time I went to recruit new students, so I was deeply impressed. I clearly remember that I went to Mingqin Town, which was a big place, and there were A few, I’m only in charge of the Huju Village area, I don’t have any impression of these people. If you don’t believe me, just check the recruiting roster for that year.”

Lei Kai nodded and said: "Yes, the new disciples recruited over the years are all recorded in the register, and it will be clear after checking the register."

Wei Ping was not as excited as Lei Kai, he just ordered lightly: "Go get the roster."

The roster was quickly fetched, and after looking through it, as Wei Ran said, the names of those teenagers were not there.

Wei Ran looked at those young men with sarcasm written in his eyes, as if mocking their overreaching: "So, what else do you have to say?"

Lei Kai was very firm on his apprentice's side. He slapped the table again and said, "Okay, now it has been proven that Ran'er is innocent. Someone, take these people down for me. You must interrogate them carefully to see what they want to do!"

Those teenagers were trembling with anger, and one of them pointed at Wei Ran's nose and said angrily: "It must be you, it must be you, it is you who tampered with the roster!"

As he spoke, he threw himself on the table in front of Wei Ping, stretched out his hands to grab his sleeves, and said earnestly, "Elder, we are not lying. I once saw that fierce beast with my own eyes in an abandoned cave in the back mountain. I I also heard them mention Haishi, what other buildings, fairy artifacts, lottery heads and so on. We really didn’t lie, and this child..."

The young man glanced at Chu Lan, and said quickly: "We have never met this child, nor his master. We have not been instructed by anyone. We have always wanted to find an opportunity to settle this matter." I’m reporting to you, but I was stared too closely and couldn’t get away. If the guard hadn’t been drunk and fell asleep today, we wouldn’t have had the chance to come here…”

At this moment, two monks stepped forward to take him away. The young man's thin and pale fingers tightly grasped Wei Ping's sleeve and did not let go. Because of the force, even the veins on his forehead burst out.

There was a cry in the boy's voice. They were so desperate because they knew that this was their only and last chance. If they failed this time, what awaited them would be an even more terrifying purgatory than now.

The young man said: "Elder, please believe us. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it. The thing is in the back mountain. You will know the truth when you see it."

The two youths behind Wei Ran heard the young man's words, their legs were trembling, they quietly went to pull Wei Ran's clothes, tremblingly said: "Second senior brother, what... what should I do?"

Wei Ran shook off their hands without a trace, turned around and said angrily in a low voice: "Look at how cowardly you are, don't mess with me in the future."

The two young men looked at him in a panic, and Wei Ran scolded him in a low voice, "Don't panic, why did I accept you idiots."

The two young monks dared not speak out, and Wei Ran ignored the two people behind him, stepped forward and said, "You have kept a lot of tricks. Hehe, Houshan, who can't go to Houshan? Even if there is really something in the cave, how can it be proved that it is mine? Are you mocking me, the elders of Tianzhaomen, for not being right and wrong?"

The young man said: "Wei Ran, you..."

Wei Ran said: "You have chosen such an important day as today to make a sudden attack, and you have a heart to punish. Uncle, Master, such behavior must not be tolerated, and must be severely punished..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve from behind, Wei Ran flicked it indiscriminately, but did not shake it away.Moreover, the force of pulling him was getting stronger and stronger, under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was no intention of covering it up at all.

Wei Ran turned and glared at the two people behind him angrily, but saw them pointing in one direction with horror on their faces.

Wei Ran turned his head in doubt, and saw a beast with a dark body and a ferocious face running towards him rapidly, his pupils shrank immediately, and his face instantly turned pale.

Many people in the sky noticed the wild beast running wildly, and some people wondered: "What kind of beast is that? Why haven't I seen it?"

"It's a magic pet! A magic pet!"

As soon as the word magic pet came out, the crowd exploded in an instant.

Someone shouted: "Everyone, be careful, this thing is very cruel."

"Protect the new juniors and juniors, don't let it escape. Quick, surround it!"

For a moment, all the disciples on the peak pulled out their sabers, pointing their sharp sword points at the charging magic pet.

This magic pet is in excellent appearance, with fangs and fangs, and a strong physique.It was so fast that it almost crossed the human wall formed by the monks in the blink of an eye, and rushed directly towards Wei Ran.

Wei Ping's expression changed, and he immediately got up and shouted, "Of course!"

Lei Kai was also nervous, but when he saw that the familiar rushed to Wei Ran's side, it stopped and didn't intend to attack him.

A ball of light gradually gathered in Wei Ping's palm, and he said in a deep voice, "But don't be afraid, I'll just..."

But he saw the fierce-looking demon pet walk to Wei Ran's feet, arched his legs with its huge head, then hid behind him, and looked in one direction.

Then he looked at Wei Ran again, and then retracted his head behind him, making a whining sound in his throat, which was clearly a gesture of a pet seeking shelter from its owner after being bullied outside.

The ball of light condensed in Wei Ping's palm gradually disappeared. He looked at Wei Ran with a face full of astonishment, and then at the huge beast hiding behind him, his face gradually turned cold.

Lei Kai opened his mouth and said in astonishment: "But, what's going on? This Demon Pet is really you..."

"No!" Wei Ran yelled out of breath, his voice broke because of extreme nervousness.

Feeling that everyone's eyes on the peak were on him, Wei Ran couldn't help but feel cold all over, he said: "No, no, I didn't raise this..."

Before he finished speaking, his two followers fell to the ground with weak legs.

Wei Ping glanced at the two young monks who fell to the ground shaking like chaff, their faces like golden paper, and said to Wei Ran, "Wei Ran, what's the matter with this demon pet?"

Wei Ping's expression was cold, and his voice was even colder.

Wei Ran couldn't help but shivered for a while, cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, he felt his heart beating like thunder, he licked his lips blankly, and suddenly glanced at Chu Lan who was standing opposite.

In an instant, all the resentment gushed out from the bottom of his heart, and his resentful eyes turned red.

Chu Lan's attention wasn't on Wei Ran at all, what he cared about was where Duan Li went after driving the pet over.

Did he change to a more secluded place to watch the excitement, or find a place to squint, or wander around in Tianzhaomen?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw someone walking towards Wei Ran from the corner of her eye. Chu Lan looked up and saw it was Wei Ping.

Wei Ran has always been respectful and afraid of his uncle, now seeing him walking towards him with a serious face, he took a step back unconsciously.

The magic pet behind him sensed his master's fear, looked at Wei Ping with his head, saw him getting closer, and rushed out.

Qi He and Lin Suran shouted: "Brother Wei, be careful!"

Wei Ran's face also changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Pojun, come back—"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew it was over.

Wei Ping sent the Demon Pet flying with a palm, then grabbed Wei Ran's lapel, looked him in the eyes and said coldly: "It's really you! It seems that what they said is true. Oh, what a great skill, in front of so many people, you can tell lies without changing your face!"

"No, uncle, listen to me, I..."

Wei Ping ruthlessly threw Wei Ran on the ground, turned to Lei Kai, Qi He and the others and said, "Today's test is over here, let's take them down to rest first. As for you..."

He looked at Wei Ran from top to bottom, and the two young men behind him: "Come here, take them to the execution hall, and I will interrogate them myself."

Wei Ran's face changed when he heard the word Xingtang. He rushed forward and hugged Wei Ping's leg, saying: "Uncle, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I will never dare to It's..."

Wei Ping kicked Wei Ran away, then looked at the young men, his attitude softened slightly: "Put on your clothes now. Junior Sister Lin, give them a good treatment of their wounds, and bring them to me later."

Then he turned to the five newly recruited children whom Lei Kai ordered to find out: "You also follow me."

The five children watched the situation develop all the way, and they were so nervous that they almost passed out, but seeing that Wei Ran was captured at this time, they also knew that they would be fine.

Happy but also a little scared, almost, almost, they are just like those few teenagers.

The little fat man quickly walked across to Chu Lan, stretched out his hand across the table and tried hard to pat him on the shoulder: "I really want to thank you for this."

Qi He was thinking about Liu Chengqi's cultivation, but after hearing what the little fat man said to Chu Lan, he still couldn't help saying softly, "Oh? Why do you want to thank Lan'er?"

The little fat man said, "If it wasn't for him..."

Chu Lan hurriedly said, "Thank you for what I did? I was just too nervous and accidentally dropped the bottle."

"Ah?" The little fat man opened his mouth, looking a little puzzled. Fortunately, among these children, there are smart ones. As soon as he heard Chu Lan's words, he knew that he didn't want people to know about it, so he stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Hey, it's a good thing you 'accidentally' dropped the bottle, otherwise we would have been miserable."

The little fat man agreed deeply: "Yes, yes, oh my god, they really scared me to death like that. Although my family is not short of money, that Wei is too much!"

After all, Wei Ran was Wei Ping's nephew. Seeing that Wei Ping's face became more and more serious, the two disciples hurried forward and took the children away.

Chu Lan wanted to follow, but Wei Ping stayed behind.

Qi He protected Chu Lan without a trace, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wei?"

Wei Ping didn't seem to see Qi He's nervousness and vigilance, he said: "With those children testifying, he doesn't have to go, I will thoroughly investigate this matter."

He looked down at Chu Lan with a relaxed expression, and said, "Although this matter is thanks to your master and apprentice, there are still many mysteries about Liu Chengqi, I can't let you wander around..."

Chu Lan pursed her lips, and pinched the hem of her clothes a little nervously. Did Wei Ping mean that he knew that he and his master did this on purpose?

Wei Ping had already looked away and looked at Qi He: "Take him back to rest first. After I finish interrogating that brat, I will go to see Liu Chengqi."

After Wei Ping finished speaking, he left. Looking at his back, Qi He exhaled lightly.He took Chu Lan's hand and said, "Lan'er, let's go back."

Chu Lan nodded, and before leaving, she took another look at the place where Duan Li was staying just now. There was still no one there, but she saw a branch of cherry blossoms on the rock where Duan Li was sitting just now.

When the wind blows, several petals are blown by the wind, swirling in the air, like butterflies flying lightly.

Chu Lan thought, that person seems to like cherry blossoms a lot.

After Qi He sent Chu Lan back to Qingxiu Peak, he left. What happened in Tianzhaomen was not serious, and the elders were busy running around.

Chu Lan stayed in the room for most of the day, and did not see Qi He until dark.There was a young monk at the door of his room.

On the surface, the monk seemed to be taking care of Chu Lan, but he was actually monitoring him.Chu Lan knew in her heart that they were worried about him wandering around.

He turned over a page of the book in his hand, but couldn't read it. He simply opened the door and asked the person outside: "Brother, is Shigong back? I want to see him."

The young monk smiled and said, "The elder hasn't come back yet. It's already dark. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you."

Chu Lan shook her head: "I don't want to eat."

"It's okay not to eat." Qi He's gentle voice came from not far away, "You are growing up now, so you must eat well."

The young monk saluted Qi He, Qi He reported the names of a few dishes, the monk nodded and left.

Chu Lan called Master, and said, "How is Wei Ran's matter?"

Qi He brought Chu Lan into the room, and then sighed: "The prescription of the medicine was found in Wei Ran's room, and with these witnesses, it can be said that the evidence is solid."

Before the food was served, Qi He told Chu Lan about it in detail.

According to Wei Ran's account, the prescription was prepared by himself. It is difficult to refine this kind of elixir, and his attainments in pharmacology are not high, so in the end he could only refine this nondescript thing.

The disciples in the fairy gate cannot be coaxed, but ordinary people can do it.It just so happened that Wei Ran was selected at that time and could go down to recruit new disciples, so he set his mind on those children.

"At first he didn't dare to go too far, and only got a few people in, but later he found out..."

When Qi He said this, he suddenly stopped. He frowned and sighed: "In the final analysis, this matter is our dereliction of duty. Fortunately, those children can stand up bravely."

"Master." Chu Lan asked, "Why did Wei Ran do this? He shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Qi He said: "Lan'er, do you know about mirages?"

Chu Lan shook his head, but he had an impression of this word. When he was in the sky, a teenager once mentioned it, although he didn't fully express it.

Qi He stood up and said, "Follow me."

It was getting late at this time, Chu Lan followed Qi He out of the room.They came to the edge of Qingxiu Peak, from here they could see the sea sparkling under the moonlight.

The cool evening wind blew in with the unique smell of sea water, Qi He stretched out his fingers to the rough sea in the distance: "Lan'er, there are countless small islands in this sea area, and some islands live There are many people, some are just isolated islands, and some islands are quite special.”

Chu Lan listened carefully, and he said, "The mirage is that special existence?"

Qi He nodded: "Yes, and no. That island has no name. People call it a mirage because there is a tall building on the island called a mirage. It is said that there are countless rare treasures in the mirage. For a moment, everyone flocked to the sharp weapon, whether it was a member of the immortal sect or an ordinary person who accidentally learned about it.

"Later, a separate long street was opened up on Mirage, allowing people from overseas to sell what they brought, and they could also barter. Those people called it Mirage at first, but somehow it merged with Mirage."

After a pause, Qi He continued: "Two years ago, Wei Ran stumbled into the mirage by mistake, and there, he saw a fairy artifact..."

Chu Lan said, "Do you want to buy it with money?"

Qi He smiled wryly: "It would be nice if you bought it with money, and that celestial artifact is the lottery of the fighting beast."

It turned out that the owner of the mirage found a few magic pet eggs from somewhere, and he sold the magic pet eggs at a high price, and agreed that when the magic pet grew up and won the first place in the competition, the magic weapon would be who.

It took Wei Ran a whole year to hatch that little demon pet.

Hearing this, Chu Lan understood that Wei Ran had spent all his money on that pet, so he naturally didn't dare to let Wei Ping know about it.He didn't dare to speak to his family, so he had to find a way to make money by himself.

As for why he cut the flesh of those teenagers, I'm afraid, as a young man said in the first line of sky, the demon pet that eats human flesh is more ferocious.

Just is this statement believable?

Chu Lan asked this question suspiciously, and Qi He said: "There is no such statement at all. Then Wei Ran is probably deluded by a ghost! He did such a foolish thing."

Just as he was talking, a disciple knocked on the door. It turned out that the dinner had been delivered.

Qi He calmed down and said with a smile, "Stop talking about this, Lan'er, let's have dinner."

**

At the dinner table, Qi He said while picking up food for Chu Lan, "Tonight I will go to the Mirage with your uncle to find out if Wei Ran has lied. You should go to bed early, and at the latest tomorrow night, Qi'er will be fine." Came out to join you."

Hearing this, Chu Lan's hand stopped, and he looked at Qi He, and saw Qi He drinking the soup in the bowl calmly.

Seemingly aware of Chu Lan's gaze, Qi He looked over and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Lan shook her head, "No, Shigong, you eat vegetables." He felt warm and a little sour at the same time.

The warm thing is that after knowing "Liu Chengqi" is pregnant, Qi He still maintains complete trust in him, but the sad thing is that Liu Chengqi is no longer there.

Chu Lan blinked and suppressed the soreness.He secretly made up his mind that he must catch the murderer who framed his master and return his innocence.

However, the most important thing right now is that person.

While sipping the soup, Chu Lan thought, when Duan Li came over at night, she must ask him how to explain the fact that he was pregnant.It's not that he doesn't believe in Duan Li, it's just that he hangs on like this, and he feels uneasy.

However, Chu Lan waited all night, but Duan Li did not appear.

The next day, Chu Lan got up from the bed with a huge dark circle under her eyes, and when she opened the door to fetch water to wash, the disciple guarding the door was startled.

"You, didn't sleep well at night?" The man said, "Are you worried about Elder Qi's safety? No need, they have already returned."

Hearing this, Chu Lan regained his energy in an instant. He said, "Master is back? Brother, do you know where he is now?"

"I'm talking with Elder Wei in the conference hall..."

Before the young man finished speaking, Chu Lan retreated into the room and closed the door with a bang.

Youth: "..." Are you going back now?What did he just come out for?

Chu Lan pressed his back against the door panel, and frowned slightly. He murmured, "Master, the uncle and the others are back, which means that the investigation of Wei Ran's affairs is almost done. Next..."

Next, they are very likely to find Duan Li who is locked in the confinement room.

After arriving at Tianzhaomen, Duan Li would meet with Chu Lan every night, but he didn't show up yesterday, which made Chu Lan very worried.After thinking twice, he opened the door again.

Chu Lan said to the young monk standing at the door: "Brother, I'm hungry and want to eat."

In the past few days, Chu Lan has been very well-behaved, not noisy, and the young man has a very good impression of him, and because Chu Lan "accidentally" dropped the porcelain bottle containing the medicine yesterday, the young man prefers him.

The young man nodded and said, "Okay, you wait for me here, and I'll go get it."

After the figure of the young man disappeared, Chu Lan closed the door and quickly left Qingxiu Peak.

From Qingxiu Peak to Yixiantian, there is a long iron cable bridge. It is the time for Tianzhaomen disciples to do morning classes, so there are not many people here.

Following the route in memory, Chu Lan soon came to the front of the confinement room. He hid behind a tuft of grass and secretly looked inside the door, only to see the old man guarding the room come out of the door.

Taking advantage of the old man's departure, Chu Lan quickly walked in. Just now he took a quick glance and found that the old man did not bring the key with him, and the key was most likely in the room where he was resting.

Chu Lan came to the room where the old man was resting. Fortunately, the door was unlocked. He walked in lightly, searched but could not find the key.

Just as he was frowning, he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Are you looking for this?" Then there was the crisp sound of the keys hitting together.

It was the first time for Chu Lan to do such a sneaky thing, and she had no experience at all. When she heard the sound, the hairs all over her body stood on end.

He turned his head and saw the old man came back at some time, standing at the door with a bunch of keys and smiling at him.

Chu Lan didn't feel scared, but felt embarrassed. He stammered, "Grandpa, grandpa, I..."

The old man said: "I've been aware of your coming for a long time, and I've been staying outside and not coming in. Are you here to see that kid Liu Chengqi?"

Chu Lan found that when the old man mentioned Liu Chengqi, his attitude was very kind. He said, "Grandpa, do you know my master?"

The old man smiled and said, "He is a regular visitor here, of course I know him."

Chu Lan said: "When my master was at Tianzhaomen...was he very troublesome and naughty?"

The old man smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, he is very good. Among that wave of children, he is the most outstanding."

Chu Lan was puzzled: "Then why do you say that the master is a frequent visitor here? Isn't it only students who make mistakes who come here?"

The old man said: "Although Liu Chengqi doesn't like to make troubles, there was a troublesome old man staring at him, and in the end the two of them were punished together."

Chu Lan: "Who has been staring at Master?"

The old man smiled and said, "Wei Ran, you should have seen it, right?"

Chu Lan nodded, and the old man said: "I still remember how they looked when they were young, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. Liu Chengqi, he has changed a lot in these years."

Chu Lan blurted out: "Grandpa, my master was wronged, he won't collude with the demons."

He said sincerely, the old man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "You child."

The old man didn't continue talking, but turned around and said, "Come with me."

After being caught stealing things, Chu Lan felt very uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

The old man looked at him with a smile: "Didn't you come to see Liu Chengqi?"

Chu Lan reacted for a while, and his eyes lit up. He quickly followed the old man and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man opened the door of Room 66 and said with a smile, "You child, you have such a sweet mouth. Go in, and don't tell others that I let you in."

Chu Lan nodded heavily and thanked again.

The lights were turned on in the confinement room, and Chu Lan saw Duan Li sitting on the futon with his back facing him, as if he was meditating.He closed the door behind his back and whispered: "Master."

Duan Li remained motionless, as if he didn't hear.

Chu Lan yelled a few more times, but Duan Li still didn't respond. He quickly walked forward and squatted down in front of Duan Li.

Looking at Duan Li's closed eyes, Chu Lan moved closer and whispered, "Master, master?"

He tentatively stretched out his hand to poke Duan Li's shoulder, and saw Duan Li's body sway, and then fell backwards following the strength of his fingers.

Chu Lan was taken aback. With his strength, it was impossible to hold Duan Li who was falling backwards. He was quick to use his wits, and threw himself directly behind Duan Li, making a pad for his flesh.

Although Liu Chengqi was thin, he was a grown man after all. Chu Lan was directly crushed to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

When Chu Lan finally got up, there was already a layer of sweat on her forehead.

He wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and glanced at Duan Li lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

This kind of situation has also happened on merchant ships, so Chu Lan was not too worried.

He thought it might be too boring here, so he ran out to play.

It's just that since I went out, why didn't I go to him?I don't know if he will be worried?

Or did he go about his own business?

While thinking about this, Chu Lan carefully placed Duan Li's head on her lap, trying to make him sleep more comfortably.

He sat there quietly waiting for Duan Li to wake up.

This waited for several hours, but Duan Li remained motionless.

As time passed, Chu Lan gradually panicked, and he murmured, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

The old man came to urge him a few times. Chu Lan knew that the old man had violated the rules by letting him in.

Chu Lan walked out of Room 66 step by step, looking back three times. The old man looked at him and said with a smile, "You two have such a good master-student relationship, it's really enviable."

Chu Lan smiled, but that smile was full of worry and uneasiness.

He turned around and glanced at the confinement room again, Duan Li was lying there quietly, showing no signs of waking up.

Chu Lan was suddenly a little scared—would he never "wake up" again?

Thinking of all the things they got along with these days, Chu Lan shook her head, and threw this thought out of her mind.

He walked out with the old man, and the old man said: "Be careful when you go back, don't get caught."

Chu Lan nodded, "Grandpa, thank you today, I'll go back first."

The old man nodded, but when Chu Lan was walking, he grabbed him.

The old man's eyes fell on the outside, and his face gradually became serious. He pulled Chu Lan to the room where he was resting: "Someone is coming, you should hide for a while."

Chu Lan: "Grandpa, who is here?"
