My enemies became my companions

Chapter 163 Why does he want to hug his master?
The ferry pushed forward with the waves, and two more bodies appeared beside the boat.

Chen Yi rowed the boat calmly and steadily, allowing the small boat to slowly move towards the distant shore.

Just now, the so-called boatman's son tried to kill Yin Tingxue with a sword, causing him to be distracted, and finally he seized the opportunity to kill himself on the spot.

The idea is certainly good, and you can tell at first glance that he is a veteran.

But the sword did not hit the target and shattered within half a meter.

Not only did the assassination fail, but it also caused Yin Tingxue to panic. She clearly did nothing, but the boatman's son was killed on the spot.

All this happened because Zhou Yitang left a trace of sword intent on her before leaving.

Although she had fallen in realm, both her martial arts and Taoism had been greatly reduced, but the meaning was different. The meaning was that once a person had realized something, they would only make progress and not regress.

Therefore, Chen Yi estimated that although she was only at the fourth rank at the moment, her ability... might even surpass that of the third rank.

The ferry slowly approached the other side, and Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue got off the boat. Although the two gangsters they had just met were experienced, they did not know them. They just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and rob people. Their identities were not exposed.

Chen Yi took out the note from his arms and took a look at it. It had the words "Pingyuan Inn" written on it. It was near the mountain gate of Hehuan Sect.

"Shall we wait here for Master Zhou?"

Yin Tingxue asked in a low voice.

"Well, she's there. I made an appointment with her last night."

Chen Yi replied, patting her on the back and signaling her to speed up.

Yin Tingxue naturally would not delay. Although she didn't know why Chen Yi brought her here, and he wouldn't tell her after asking her, she still had to follow him.

After walking for who knows how long, Yin Tingxue's forehead was already covered with sweat. During the way, Chen Yi offered to carry her on his back, but she refused, thinking it would be so embarrassing if others saw them. Chen Yi then compromised and suggested slowing down. After hesitating, Yin Tingxue said forget it, she could keep up.

When they arrived outside the inn, Yin Tingxue's hair was a little messy and her collar was a little loose. Chen Yi saw it and helped her smooth out her hair and fasten her collar. Yin Tingxue waited obediently without moving. When he finished doing all this, he smiled at her and pinched her face at the end.

It would have been fine if he didn't smile, but when he smiled, she suddenly realized something: had she become a little dependent on him?

Yin Tingxue didn't want to rely on him, and had always been a little afraid of this matter, and had been prepared for it. But somehow, since she went to Yintai Temple, she couldn't refuse, and even felt a little... content and enjoyed it.

It was as if...he was the person closest to her.

Chen Yi saw the complicated panic on her little face and smiled bitterly. What on earth was this?
She was still afraid of herself, and still hated herself, just like before, but she had already secretly regarded herself as her mother...

What an awkward relationship, even more awkward than the one with An Hou and her son.

They are husband and concubine, and yet...mother and daughter.

Chen Yi wanted her to recover quickly, both for his own sake and for hers, after all, he was not her real mother.

When I stepped into the inn, it was empty inside and there was a thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs.

Chen Yi sat down, tapped the table with one hand, and waited patiently for someone.

He might have only met Zhou Yitang briefly, but his master seemed to have caught some clues and was determined to follow the trail and trace it back thousands of miles until the mystery was solved.

This is for both him and Yin Tingxue.

The one-armed woman with a dull temperament may have accepted Yin Tingxue's existence.

Not long after, he heard footsteps crossing the threshold. When Chen Yi looked up, the one-armed woman had come to him. She had simply disguised herself, taking off her lotus hat, putting her hair in a bun, and wearing a veil.

“This journey is difficult.”

She said calmly.

"Do you mean mine or yours?"

“It’s just as hard.”

Chen Yi nodded slightly and analyzed:

"In the past few days, the number of people looking for the heir of the Hehuan Sect has increased dramatically, as if someone is behind this.

There will be bloody storms on the road, and the Hehuan Sect has always been a strange sect, with many large and small formations. If you are not careful, you may die on the spot."

"good."

"But how can it be difficult for you?"

Chen Yi couldn't help asking.

Zhou Yitang kept silent.

She is always like this. There are some things she won't talk about. Chen Yi knows that she has her own thoughts, but even so, her avoidance of the topic is like a film between the two of them.

Chen Yi didn't know when he could break through this barrier. But no matter what, she didn't seem to belong to him yet.

"I'm leaving."

After a quick meeting, the one-armed woman turned around and left without even sitting down.

"and many more."

The one-armed woman glanced sideways slightly. She had explained everything that needed to be explained. She didn't know why this traitor wanted to stop for a moment.

Chen Yi slowly walked up to her and hugged her.

Zhou Yitang did not step back, but did not respond either.

"The reason I hugged you is because I'm a little afraid that you might... hurt me."

Chen Yi whispered in her ear.

"Aren't you afraid of nothing?" she asked with a sneer.

"I am indeed fearless, not even my master, or I would not betray my master and ancestors."

He touched upon those memories jokingly, and the one-armed woman's face became gloomy, her eyes as sharp as swords.

"I'm only afraid of one thing."

Zhou Yitang wanted to listen, so she sneered and asked:

"Is there something you, a traitor to your master and ancestors, are afraid of?"

"My wife is still afraid."

Chen Yi said softly:
“That’s why I’m afraid of you.”

Zhou Yitang was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and looked at him deeply:
"I know you're just a sweet talker."

Chen Yi shrugged.

When Yin Tingxue saw this scene between the two of them, she tilted her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The one-armed woman stepped over the threshold and walked away slowly, her breath gradually disappearing in the mountain road.

Among the mountains and forests, under the shadows of the trees, several people stood there, silently looking at the inn not far away. They stopped on the hillside, and if they paid attention, they could see what was going on inside the inn.

"One, two, three... Why does he have so many confidantes?"

Donggong Ruoshu counted them on his fingers and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

She had a photographic memory and immediately recognized the figure as Chen Yi.

But when she turned around, she saw Lu Ying standing still, his face dull, and the horror in his eyes was indescribable.

Why is Master here?

Even here...

Who is that person anyway, and why does he want to hug Master? !

Lu Ying suddenly felt a little dizzy. That was clearly the sword armor of Yinjian Mountain, and it was clearly her master...

She never hugged...

.....................

After seeing Zhou Yitang off, Chen Yi sat in the inn and waited patiently.

From the door, you can hear footsteps gradually coming up the mountain road in the distance.

Yin Tingxue nervously held Chen Yi's hand.

The man who came was in tattered clothes, with a medicine gourd hanging around his waist, a cane in one hand and a palm in the other. Under his tattered clothes was a cassock.

It was the Zen master seen from afar on the river.

Having killed all the scripture masters on the ship with one hand, he seemed unsatisfied and asked a somewhat crazy question:
"I have Buddhist teachings, do you dare to listen?"

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Stupid."
