Facing Leng Feiyan's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Jichen was quick to think.
"I thought that bathing requires two people to rub each other... so I prepared to rub Master's back..."
Leng Feiyan finally dispelled his doubts a little and said in relief: "No need, just stay inside and soak yourself. Don't move around or cross the line."
"I know, I know, don't worry, Master."
Lin Jichen quickly agreed, feeling lucky that he had escaped another disaster.
"Well, then take a good bath and don't talk."
After Leng Feiyan finished speaking, his head was buried in the water for a while, and his body was completely submerged in the water, for fear of being seen by Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen glanced secretly at the bottom of the water, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
The milky white Tianshan Spring and the petals floating on the water successfully block all sight.
Lin Jichen secretly thought it was a pity, he only regretted that his eyes were not equipped with see-through function~
But you can still see Leng Feiyan's pretty face, which is enough.
Leng Feiyan's black hair was rolled up, and her whole body was in the water. I don't know whether it was because of the heat or nervousness. Her jade-like cheeks were red and her eyes were erratic. She didn't dare to look at Lin Jichen at all.
Lin Jichen didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of making Leng Feiyan angry. If the time came to kick him out and lose his favorability, the gain would outweigh the loss.
So the master and the apprentice soaked in the water, with only their two heads exposed, like two silly geese.
The temperature in the room increased inexplicably, and the charming atmosphere spread with it.
In this situation, silence is better than sound.
Lin Jichen's heartbeat never dropped from 180 mph. When he thought that the person squeezed in a bucket with him was his master, and that the person was probably not wearing anything, his blood surged.
This taboo and ambiguous atmosphere is really too exciting.
"It's just a bath, don't be nervous, it's nothing to make a fuss about."
Leng Feiyan kept comforting himself in his heart.
Seeing that the atmosphere was strange and too quiet, Leng Feiyan just wanted to say something to ease the situation.
But he found that Lin Jichen's nose had a bright red color flowing out.
She asked in surprise: "Disciple, why do you have a nosebleed?"
Lin Jichen's nose is exactly the same, really...
"No...it's okay, I'm just a little angry lately."
Lin Jichen was extremely embarrassed. Damn it, he was so low-spirited that his nose would bleed just by taking a bath.
Then if you really see any exciting scene, you won't be anemic for a minute, right?
Leng Feiyan seemed to understand something, and immediately spat in shame and turned away, extremely embarrassed.
Afraid that Lin Jichen would think too much, and even more afraid that he would suddenly do something treacherous and impulsive, Leng Feiyan thought about it and decided to divert his attention.
"By the way, disciple, have you completed the two tasks given to you before you went into seclusion as a master?"
Lin Jichen nodded quickly: "Well, it's all done. The matter of Yujian Pavilion has been reported to the Great Elder and the others. They said that it will be handled by them personally."
"Well, you did a good job. Did you go to Ji Hongyue's birthday party?"
"Been there."
"Is it going well?"
"Ahem...it went very well."
Lin Jichen suddenly felt guilty. He remembered that there was something he had not reported to Leng Feiyan.
That was the matter of Ji Hongyue's choice of son-in-law.
Before, I could use Master's retreat as an excuse. This time Leng Feiyan has come out of retreat. Do you want to ask her for her opinion?
Lin Jichen quickly gave up the idea as soon as he had it.
He still wants to live a few more years.
Forget it, when Ji Hongyue asked, he would just say that Leng Feiyan hadn't left seclusion, and he could delay it as long as he could.
Leng Feiyan had no doubts, nodded, and continued to ask Lin Jichen about his experience in the past month.
Lin Jichen answered one by one about his experiences during this period, including the Land of Demon Sealing, Storm Valley, Hundred Thousand Mountains, etc., all told to Leng Feiyan.
Of course, he didn't say that Chu Tianhan wanted to kill him.
There is no evidence for this kind of thing, and the impact is too great, so he will not talk about it for now. When there is evidence later, he will expose it to Leng Feiyan.
The two of them were talking in the bathtub while taking a bath, and the atmosphere was finally not as ambiguous as before.
Just as the master and apprentice were chatting, a voice came from outside the palace.
"Little Junior Brother~Little Junior Brother~where are you?"
As soon as Lin Jichen heard the voice, he knew it belonged to Nangong Yue and immediately became nervous.
Nangong Yue had just come out of seclusion. When she saw the thunder calamity on Jiangong Mountain, she knew that Lin Jichen must have broken through the Golden Core Realm, so she came here to congratulate her.
But when she came up, she could not find Lin Jichen.
She obviously didn't see Lin Jichen coming down the mountain, why was he missing?
I searched all over the living room and the Sword Palace, but couldn't find him.
This made Nangong Yue start to get nervous. She thought Lin Jichen failed to overcome the tribulation and was annihilated by the thunder tribulation?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue was so anxious that she found Leng Feiyan's bedroom.
"Why did Xiaoyue come to find you?" Leng Feiyan suddenly asked.
Lin Jichen's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly explained: "Senior sister must have come to congratulate me because she saw me surviving the thunder tribulation and breaking through the golden elixir. Master is fine, so I'll answer her right away so that she won't worry."
Lin Jichen was about to shout out, but was stopped by Leng Feiyan.
"Don't talk!"
Leng Feiyan's pretty face turned red. In her eagerness, she stretched out a pair of jade arms from the water and covered Lin Jichen's mouth with her hands.
Because he raised his hand, his delicate white collarbone was exposed out of the water, and even vaguely, he could see a deep white ditch emerging from the bottom of the water...
The nosebleed that Lin Jichen had just stopped suddenly surged and sprayed all over Leng Feiyan's hand.
Leng Feiyan also noticed that he was gone, his face was on fire instantly, he stopped his hand like lightning, and buried himself in the water again, leaving only his head.
"Master...why don't you let me talk..."
Leng Feiyan rolled her eyes at him, thinking that this stupid apprentice was really stupid. If he responded to Nangong Yue here, how shameless would she be as the leader?
Lin Jichen also reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Disciple understands, it's fine if I don't say anything, but if I don't speak, what should I do if senior sister is worried?"
"You do care about your senior sister?" Leng Feiyan said quietly.
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly in his heart, it's over, Master won't know anything...
Fortunately, Leng Feiyan didn't have time to ask too much and just said: "Turn around."
"Ah? Oh." Lin Jichen did as he was told and turned his back to Leng Feiyan.
Soon, the sound of splashing water came from behind him, and Lin Jichen knew without even thinking that it was Leng Feiyan coming out of the water.
If you look back at this time, you will definitely be in awe.
But Lin Jichen didn't dare, and couldn't do it, because...his body was inexplicably under control, unable to move.
It seems that Leng Feiyan was afraid that he would look back, so he used a secret method to restrain Lin Jichen so that he would not dare to look back.
After the sound of water splashing, there was soon the sound of rustling clothes.
Then, Lin Jichen felt his body light up and the restraints were lifted.
"Don't move here, let alone make a sound. I'll go talk to Xiaoyue."
After Leng Feiyan finished speaking, he left the room.
Lin Jichen turned around and saw that the beauty had left. He exclaimed that it was a pity and it would be great if he could look back.
