Chapter 101 My apprentice is not that bad.

There is a deviation between the memory and the scene in front of her.

Xiao Hongyi remembered it clearly.

After she brought Jiang Chen here, the two of them laughed and talked happily, but Jiang Chen never asked him the two questions "Do you believe in fate?" and "What will you do if someone wants to kill me?".

In any case, she was still happy.

After all, although there was a deviation, she still enjoyed this kind of master-disciple time and even hoped that it would continue.

"Well, after waking up, I should practice peeling spiritual fruits. Would it look better to peel with a spiritual sword?" She thought again.

In her thoughts, the picture has changed, and it has been several years later. ✶♦❋

Jiuyan Sect.

Jiufeng has only been established for a few years, and the talents are declining and there are many affairs.

In the picture, Xiao Hongyi works hard every day, often goes out, and is exhausted.

She became more serious than usual, no longer smiled, and her eyes were a little indifferent, giving people a feeling of numbness.

At this time, Lin Mubai and Qing Ning had already become disciples.

Lin Mubai turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only read the books of sages. Young Qing Ning followed Jiang Chen every day, like a follower.

One day.

"Qing Ning, Senior Brother wants you to do me a favor." Jiang Chen touched Qing Ning's head and said.

"Okay!" Young Qing Ning agreed readily.

Jiang Chen squatted down and said seriously: "Don't agree yet, because this matter is a bit dangerous. If you don't want to, you can refuse."

Young Qing Ning nodded.

"I need you to go to the Red Flame Sea. There is a black charcoal tree in the center of the sea. Only people with great luck can see it. Senior Brother hopes you can scrape some charcoal ash back." Jiang Chen stated his purpose.

"Senior Brother, will you go with me?" Young Qing Ning looked forward to it.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "I can't go. If I go to that tree, I will hide. You can't even tell others about this. You can only go by yourself."

"Oh." Young Qing Ning nodded.

Not long after, Qing Ning left the sect alone and went to the Red Flame Sea.

At that time, she was only ten years old, and her cultivation level was only at the lower fourth realm.

And if the flames in the sea of ​​fire erupted, even the upper fourth realm cultivators would be swallowed up instantly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Hongyi frowned slightly.

The next scene was exactly the same as she remembered.

The young Qing Ning left the sect and had not returned for a long time. After checking the blood scroll, she knew that Qing Ning had gone to the sea of ​​fire.

Realizing the danger of the matter, she took Jiang Chen and several elders from the nine peaks to the sea of ​​fire to look for her.

When everyone found Qing Ning, the latter was already dying and fainted on the sea of ​​fire. Her petite body was burned in many places, and her originally fair and tender skin was covered with a layer of black ash.

Even so, Qing Ning was still holding on to something tightly!

Xiao Hongyi hurriedly rescued Qing Ning.

But the first thing Qing Ning did when she woke up was to force herself to run towards Jiang Chen.

"Big Brother, Qing Ning has brought back what you wanted." Although it was difficult for her to even stand, the young Qing Ning was still excited.

Upon hearing this, everyone was in disbelief, and Xiao Hongyi almost fainted from anger!

There have long been rumors that Jiang Chen used Qing Ning as a tool and used the latter's luck to obtain all kinds of natural treasures.

Xiao Hongyi did not believe this.

First of all, there was no real evidence, and secondly, she was unwilling to believe that Jiang Chen, who had done nothing wrong recently, would be so shameless.

But...

It was Qing Ning's words that confirmed Jiang Chen's guilt!

"You... what did you ask Qing Ning to get?" Even so, Xiao Hongyi still asked.

Jiang Chen did not reply.

He just squatted down, touched Qing Ning's head with a distressed look, and then said "thank you".

The young Qing Ning smiled.

But Xiao Hongyi and the other elders of Jiufeng could not suppress their anger.

After returning to the sect, Jiang Chen was punished to face the wall for 100 days.

Originally, with his evil deeds, it would not be too much to be thrown into the sect prison, but the young Qing Ning hugged Jiang Chen tightly and wanted to follow him even if he was punished.

Helplessly, Xiao Hongyi had to punish him slightly and warn him severely.

That night.

As a bystander, Xiao Hongyi looked at the two people, one big and one small, leaning against each other in front of the facing-the-wall monument and sighed faintly.

She remembered it clearly.

After that, Jiang Chen returned to his original nature, making big and small mistakes continuously, until she abolished his Yuan Dan, he still refused to change despite repeated teachings.

Slowly walking forward, Xiao Hongyi sat down beside Jiang Chen, hugging her knees.

Knowing that Jiang Chen couldn't hear her words, she still said: "Your sin is my sin. In reality, I only scolded you harshly. Now I think that as a master, I also need to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes."

"In fact, the master has always been puzzled. You are the only son of the Jiang family. What do you want? Why let young Qing Ning take risks? Although you are bad, you have never hurt young Qing Ning before. What is it that makes you so cold-blooded?" She whispered again.

Jiang Chen couldn't hear, so he naturally didn't reply.

Young Qing Ning woke up from a deep sleep, but asked curiously: "Big Brother, what is that charcoal tree? It's obviously all black charcoal, but it's so hot."

"Did you let the master take the charcoal ash?" Jiang Chen asked back.

Carbon ash? What carbon ash?

Xiao Hongyi was confused.

This was the second time she noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, I put it in Master's tea. The charcoal ash is so magical, Master seemed to be blind and drank it directly." Young Qing Ning nodded.

After a long silence, she continued: "Big Brother, I heard Master crying when I left. I have never seen Master cry. Did we really make a mistake..."

Jiang Chen did not reply directly, but asked the young Qing Ning to go back, wanting to be alone.

Qing Ning was reluctant, but she still walked away, looking back every few steps.

Then, Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that Master is fine, but I did let Qing Ning take risks this time, and I feel guilty."

Hearing this.

Xiao Hongyi's beautiful eyes opened suddenly, and there seemed to be thunder in her mind.

She is fine? What does it mean?

Jiang Chen's smile caught her eyes, making her even more panicked.

Because that smile was not a smile of conspiracy, but a kind of comfort, a kind of relief!

Xiao Hongyi did remember.

After punishing Jiang Chen, Qing Ning came to her. She also remembered that when Qing Ning brought tea, she did drink the tea.

But she is a cultivator of the upper fourth realm!

If there is the so-called "carbon ash" in the tea, she can't have not noticed it! It's even more impossible to drink it directly!

Unless...

Suddenly, Xiao Hongyi remembered a rumor.

Before the formation of the sea of ​​red flames, it is said that a phoenix had stayed there. The phoenix is ​​a divine bird that can only live on the phoenix tree.

And the phoenix tree can only be seen by people with great luck...

"That is not a carbon tree, but a burnt phoenix tree? The so-called carbon ash is actually the burnt phoenix bark?" She was shocked.

Looking straight at Jiang Chen, she continued to analyze: "Did you know that I was an acquired phoenix body at that time? Did you know that I had been overworked during that period and had begun to be eaten by the phoenix blood? And the phoenix tree is the best spiritual treasure to suppress the phoenix blood?!"

Yes, this is the only possibility.

Although I don't know why Jiang Chen knew this, only this conclusion can explain everything.

She had never thought about this before.

Because at that time, she had not told Jiang Chen and other disciples that she was an acquired phoenix body.

During that time, she was indeed eaten by the phoenix blood. After recovering, she thought that she suppressed it with her cultivation, but she never thought that the truth was so!

So.

Jiang Chen asked Qing Ning to take risks, not for himself, but for her?

As a master, she was not grateful, but she also severely reprimanded and punished Jiang Chen?

"I... I..."

At this moment, Xiao Hongyi was completely panicked.

Although she kept reminding herself that this was not reality, she felt that everything was real and terrible.

And the truth was like a big hand, tearing her heart apart in an instant.

She finally understood.

The reason why Jiang Chen was unwilling to tell the truth must be that he knew that she would not agree to let Qing Ning take risks. Even if he told her afterwards, it would only make her fall into deep self-blame!

This disciple, who she thought was hard to change his nature, did everything this time for her!

Emotions such as self-blame and guilt surged in her heart.

Xiao Hongyi wanted to endure it, but she cried out after all.

She turned her back to Jiang Chen and squatted on the ground with her face covered.

Even though she knew that Jiang Chen could not see her, she was still pretending to be strong.

She wanted to apologize to Jiang Chen, but she was already crying.

After crying, she laughed again and became happier than ever.

At this moment, in addition to self-blame, she wanted to tell everyone more.

At least in this matter, Jiang Chen was not wrong!

She was wrong! Her apprentice was not as bad as she said!

"Okay, thief God. This time, you won without any action." Jiang Chen's voice sounded again.

This made Xiao Hongyi stunned again.
