At that time, the demon hadn't grown up yet.

The sky outside was just turning pale, when Qiao Zhen woke up with a start. He stretched out his hand to touch the side, but only found the cold sheet - Yan Jinlan was gone.

On weekdays, Yan Jinlan likes to stay in bed very much. Although she wakes up earlier than him every day, she never gets up before him. She always stares at him with her phoenix eyes until he opens them, and then The two got up together, and Qiao Zhen interpreted Yan Jinlan's behavior as a dependence caused by the lack of family affection.

This long-standing habit has changed today.

Qiao Zhen immediately got up from the bed, put on her coat, and hurried outside.

In recent days, because of Yan Tiancheng's retreat, he has relaxed a lot, and he is not as worried all the time as before, but because of this state of peace of mind.Let him forget the danger hidden in the dark.

Yan Tiancheng is only in seclusion instead of dying. It is said that he has been in seclusion for several years, but he may come out at any time, and those two loyal guardians, all of these are potential threats.

Qiao Zhen hurried out of the gate without even fastening her belt.

As soon as he went out, he ran into a black-clothed disciple. The man let out an "ouch" and dropped the tool in his hand. Qiao Zhen looked behind the man and saw many disciples. Carrying logs, someone with a saw in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

The man in the lead picked up the tools on the ground, then bent slightly, looking respectful.

"Guardian Zuo said that Young Master Jinlan is very important to the Venerable Master. Before the Venerable Master leaves the customs, Young Master Jinlan must not suffer any loss. Young Master Jinlan asked for another bed, and Guardian Zuo agreed, and ordered Let's come."

Cooperating with these people to move so many logs here is to make a bigger bed for Yan Jinlan.

Qiao Zhen stepped aside to let the disciples in.

Seeing those disciples get busy quickly, a strange feeling slowly emerged from Qiao Zhen's heart. According to Yan Tiancheng's previous attitude towards Yan Jinlan, it was completely tortured, and he wished to give Yan Jinlan Toss to death, who cares whether he sleeps well or not.

After thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong.

Just about to leave the courtyard, Yan Jinlan came in. Qiao Zhen quickly pulled him to a slightly secluded corner, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any conspiracy behind that left protector of yours?"

Yan Jinlan was stunned by his question, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"What conspiracy could there be?"

Qiao Zhen lowered her voice and said, "If there is really no conspiracy, why would he think of sending you a bed suddenly?"

Yan Jinlan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out her arms, rolled up her sleeves, revealing a scarred arm.

Qiao Zhen didn't understand what he meant at first, but he took a closer look, and soon found that among the dense wounds and bruises, there was a new wound, which seemed to be cut open with a knife. It's deep, but it's extremely long, and it's still stained with white powder, as if it's been medicated.

"what happened?"

Yan Tiancheng hasn't left the customs yet, how could there be such an extra wound on the little guy's body?

Yan Jinlan put down his sleeves and smiled at him pretending to be relaxed, "I told you before that my blood is poisonous, and everyone in the entire Demon Palace wants my blood. Guardian Zuo is no exception."

It took Qiao Zhen a long time to realize that Yan Jinlan used his own blood to exchange a bed with Guardian Zuo.

It turned out that what he thought was strange was nothing more than someone paying secretly.

He suddenly pulled him into his arms.

"You shouldn't do this, why should you hurt yourself for a bed."

Yan Jinlan pressed her cheek to his chest, and said in a low voice, "I want to sleep with Ah Zheng every night, but Ah Zheng said that the bed is too small, and he wants to move out."

After hearing these words, Qiao Zhen felt sore and swollen in her heart, as if soaked in salt water, it was very uncomfortable.Yan Jinlan did this not to make herself sleep comfortably, but because she wanted him to stay and not move out.

Before, he was still wondering why he just said the bed was too small the night before, and someone brought him the bed the next day.

It turned out that all this was because the little guy was unwilling to leave him.

"What a fool, don't do this in the future, I swear to the heavens, I will never leave you easily in the future, if I don't do it, I will be punished..."

However, before the vicious words could be spoken, Yan Jinlan's hand covered her lips.

"If you leave me in the future, let God take my life back. It's meaningless to live anyway."

How could the former Yan Jinlan say that life is meaningless? He was tortured and scarred all over, but he still lived strong, and then killed all those who tortured him.

In the final analysis, it was because of his appearance that the child was changed.

Qiao Zhen felt a little relieved, but also a little sad. What was gratifying was that he brought warmth to this little guy, but what was sad was that if this child left him, he might really not be able to survive.

"I promise you, as long as you don't do bad things, I will never leave."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Zhen noticed that Yan Jinlan's body stiffened suddenly.

After a long time, he also raised his head, stared at him with straight eyes, and asked in a low voice: "But, what should I do if I have already done something bad? I killed someone!"

He pointed to the big pit that had been filled in the yard, with a sad expression on his face.

Qiao Zhen laughed and explained: "What I mean by doing bad things is that you killed people indiscriminately, and the reason why you killed that disciple was because you wanted to protect us. There is nothing wrong with that. If I If you have the ability, the person who killed that disciple at that time would not be you, but myself."

After his explanation, Yan Jinlan's mood suddenly brightened. He held his head up and smiled sweetly, "I promise you, I will never kill people indiscriminately in the future."

Then, Yan Jinlan added silently in his heart, anyway, those people he killed deserve to die.

Seeing that Yan Jinlan is so well-behaved, Qiao Zhen is very satisfied with his education method. I believe that Yan Jinlan will grow into a tall and straight tree in a short time. After leaving the magic palace, he may become a generation of chivalrous men.

He dragged Yan Jinlan into the yard.

"Let's go and have a look at that big bed. Remember, you can't hurt yourself like this again in the future. If you have anything to do, remember to discuss it with me first."

Yan Jinlan nodded, still acting obediently, as if he would listen to whatever he said.
