Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

When Wen Lingyu heard what he said, she smiled and walked to his side.Curiosity flickered in both eyes, and she asked, "What is the little apprentice going to tell me? You still make it so serious, could it be that your cultivation level has improved a lot compared to before?"

"It's not this," Ji Chen shook his head, and clenched his hands hanging by his sides even tighter.

He had clearly planned to tell Wen Lingyu about this matter, but seeing the innocent look of the other party, he didn't know how to say the words when he came to his lips.

Wen Lingyu is a good person.

She has always believed in her clan so much, and she has always liked her clan so much.If she knew that those people were talking about her like this, she would definitely die of pain, right?
Not just pain.

Would she believe the facts he said?

Ji Chen didn't know.

But he knew that he liked Wen Lingyu's smiling face now, and he hoped that she would always be so carefree and happy.So those sad and dark things that she shouldn't know, even if you don't tell her, it shouldn't matter...

Rather than resenting those insignificant people, it is better to let her continue to maintain her current mood.As long as she can make more friends, as long as her mind is not on those clansmen, and tell her the secret when the time comes, she shouldn't be so sad, right?

Thinking of this, Ji Chen put away the serious expression on his face and put on a smile, he said: "I just want to tell Master that the spell you taught me before is very useful. Now I have much stronger control over myself than before, so I want to tell you, why don't you try again? Maybe you can really communicate with the surrounding flowers and trees!"

Ji Chen originally thought that after he said so, Wen Lingyu would definitely give it a try.

But he didn't expect that after Wen Lingyu heard it, she shook her head without hesitation, and she said, "Forget it, I'm too tired today, and I don't even have the energy to recite those spells. Besides, you and I Having said that, I have tried many times before. They have never given me any response, so if I try it now, the result should be the same."

She chose to give up by herself, and Ji Chen couldn't persuade her anymore.

He could only nod his head, turn around and go out honestly, to continue practicing.

It's just that this time it's different from just now, Wen Lingyu also left their tent right after.Just like usual, Wen Lingyu sat beside Ji Chen, propped her head up and looked at his side face, the smile on her face was so gentle and happy.

Ji Chen glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and felt extremely distressed.

He wanted to say something to relieve the melancholy in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, his brows suddenly frowned.

Ji Chen stood up suddenly, and looked towards the cave where Wen Lingyu had told him before that the sacred artifacts were stored.He said: "Master, someone is approaching that cave, should we go and have a look?"

Wen Lingyu froze for a moment, looking at Ji Chen with a dull gaze.

As the saint who guards the altar of the sacristy, if someone entered that cave, of course she would go and have a look.

but……

Wen Lingyu asked suspiciously: "Ji Chen, how did you know that someone approached there?"

Ji Chen replied honestly: "Because the master said that it is a very important place, so I usually leave a ray of magic energy and watch that place over there. If someone approaches, I will feel it immediately. That way you don’t have to worry about accidents.”

This is a natural move. For example, when they lived with the holy aunt at the beginning, the mother-in-law also liked to leave a wisp of spiritual energy at the door of the house, which could guarantee a little safety.

Ji Chen learned from his mother-in-law's methods, so he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.But seeing Wen Lingyu so surprised, Ji Chen was a little uncertain again.Scratching his head, he hesitated and asked: "Master, shouldn't I do this? Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course you're right! I've always wanted to do this before!" Wen Lingyu shook her head, she said excitedly: "But my cultivation level is not enough, that place is a bit far from here. The farthest aura I can control is also spreading You can't get there, so you can only give up this kind of thinking. But you have already done it! This means that your current cultivation is already higher than mine!"

Ji Chen scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Since the control of his magic energy became smoother and smoother, he found that his cultivation was improving faster and faster.Later, his cultivation surpassed that of Wen Lingyu, but he didn't say anything.

After all, his relationship with Wen Lingyu is still a master-student relationship.

It would be bad for Wen Lingyu to be unhappy if the apprentice's cultivation surpassed that of the master.

Ji Chen never wanted to do anything to make the other party sad, so he never talked about it.Now that Wen Lingyu noticed it, he suddenly panicked and cried out in embarrassment: "Master, I... Ouch!"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Wen Lingyu tapped him lightly on the head again.

This was a habitual action between the two of them, and whenever they did this, it proved that Wen Lingyu was in a good mood and was joking with him.

Ji Chen felt relaxed a lot.

Wen Lingyu looked unhappy, pouted and said: "Ji Chen, do you regard me as your master? You must tell me such good news as soon as possible! The apprentice's cultivation level has been improved. Hurry up, it's something that makes me very proud!"

By the end, her expression had become very happy.

Ji Chen knew that she wasn't pretending, so while he was relieved, he also laughed along with him.

Master is indeed a good person.

She would not be sad at all because of these comparisons, she would only be happy because of his progress, as always.

Looking at Wen Lingyu's smiling face, Ji Chen blushed for a moment.

But Wen Lingyu tapped him on the head again, and then said: "This incident really needs to be celebrated, but it's not possible now. Didn't you just say that someone went to the cave? Let's go there quickly, and don't let anyone take it." The holy artifact is gone."

Ji Chen nodded quickly.

The two rushed to the surrounding cave with the fastest speed, Wen Lingyu released her spiritual power to investigate, and then frowned even tighter.

Ji Chen naturally understood what her expression meant, so he asked, "Master, the thief has entered the cave now, should we guard it outside, or go in together?"

This question also stopped Wen Lingyu.

Ever since she went up the mountain, the patriarch's grandfather told her not to let her get close to this cave.

He said so many times that he would not even be allowed to approach, let alone walk in.

But now that other people have entered, they are waiting at the door, will the important sacred artifact be destroyed?

But if it goes in, will it bring any bad influence to the tribe?Wen Lingyu was almost torn to death.

Ji Chen glanced at her, stood up and said, "Master is guarding outside, I can go in. This is not considered breaking the rules, and I can see what is going on with the thief."

After speaking, Ji Chen got up and walked towards the cave.

When he entered the cave, he heard footsteps behind him.Wen Lingyu ran to his side, grabbed his hand and said, "We still have to go in together. Even if your cultivation base is higher than mine, you are still my apprentice. I can't let you take risks alone! As for the patriarch grandpa told me I usually abide by those requirements. Now this is a special situation, I will tell the patriarch grandpa when the time comes, he will definitely understand me!"

She said so, of course Ji Chen didn't refuse.

The two moved forward together, and the cave was much deeper than they had imagined.After going around a few bends, there were finally dots of flickering light from the oil lamp in front of us.

The two of them unanimously lowered their footsteps and slowly approached the direction of the light source.When the cave came to the end, when she saw the open space lit by the fire and the person standing in the middle of the open space, Wen Lingyu's eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help but yelled, "Grandpa patriarch? You Why did it appear here?"
