"...W-What?"
Lin Wu's words were stuck for a moment.
Does he... know her?
She looked up at the man, but there was nothing but strangeness. She was sure she had never seen this person before.
The man let go of her at this moment, propped up his body with one hand on the side, and opened the distance between the two, and the nerve-wracking pressure quietly escaped.
The man looked at the tattoo exposed on Lin Wu's shoulder, and then moved his eyes to Lin Wu's face, seeming a little confused.
Lin Wu could only reject it. She didn't like this situation that made her look embarrassed. Her bright eyes widened even more, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction: "You'd better give me a reasonable reason not to kill you before I do it."
The man's eyes were slightly dark, but what he said was completely wrong.
"Why has your face changed?"
"? What changed...hiss!"
Lin Wu was confused. Halfway through her words, the man suddenly thought of something and stretched out his hand to touch her neck.
Lin Wu was agitated by the cool touch, and she swallowed back the rest of her words.
Lin Wu didn't like others touching her, so she would reflexively wave away the other person's hand.
However, the man took the first step and touched a bulge on Lin Wu's chin. With a little force, he directly took off the human skin mask covering Lin Wu's face, catching Lin Wu off guard.
In an instant, Lin Wu's original face came into his eyes.
Her complexion is porcelain white, her almond-shaped eyes are slightly upturned, and her facial features are so delicate and beautiful that you can't take your eyes away and are easily impressed. She is expressionless most of the time, cold and intimidating, and others dare not look directly at her.
Before Lin Wu could react, the man's eyes were fixed on her face, and the coldness around her body was invisibly weakened, replaced by a gentleness that was no longer dangerous.
He threw the human skin mask away casually and said, "It's still so pleasing to the eye. Don't wear a human skin mask in the future. It's ugly and hurts your eyes."
"???"
Question marks appeared one after another on Lin Wu's forehead.
Seeing the familiarity of the other party, she asked: "Do you know me?"
"Does it seem like I have a bad memory?" the man asked, a little confused by what Lin Wu said.
But his tone was quite casual, like a chat between old acquaintances, and he didn't care how Lin Wu responded to him. His attention was directly attracted by other things - Lin Wu was wet all over, standing in the extremely cold stone room. In the coffin, she was so cold that she shivered uncontrollably and her face turned pale.
If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold or get a fever.
The man frowned, looked at himself, and without thinking, he supported the edge of the coffin and turned over, landing firmly on the ground.
Without the restraint, Lin Wu sat up in confusion. As a result, the next moment her vision suddenly went dark, and a robe fell on her head and face, covering her tightly.
Simply suffocating.
Lin Wu waved his hands randomly and pulled it away, finally revealing his head.
Looking forward, she saw that the man took off his robe and gave it to her.
He was standing outside the coffin, wearing only a thin inner garment, which made his figure even longer and straighter. But he won't be cold or as still as a pine tree.
Seeing Lin Wu's actions, the man spoke with a calm tone, carrying the majesty of an elder that could not be ignored.
"Put it on."
Lin Wu was stunned by his familiar tone: "...?"
The man didn't seem to notice that there were more and more question marks on Lin Wu's forehead. He turned around and looked at the stone room, then turned to look at Lin Wu and said, "This is not the place for you to stay. Anyway, after sleeping for so long, It’s time to get out, let’s go.”
"...??"
Seeing that Lin Wu didn't move, the man said: "What are you doing standing there, not coming out? Do you like staying in this ice coffin?"
"…………"
"...It's not impossible."
The man's eyes were filled with surprise, as if he didn't expect Lin Wu to like staying in an ice coffin.
He said it without any euphemism: "You are still too weak. Even if you like it, you can't stay in it for too long like a teacher. After you practice for another ten or eight years, I will give it to you as a teacher."
"…………"
It was difficult for Lin Wu to explain clearly his indescribable mood at this moment.
Seeing that she still didn't move, the man seemed to have misunderstood. Thinking of the possibility, he was surprised: "Have you already...this...how could you become so weak now?"
Lin Wu sounded a little disgusted: "..."
Lin Wu immediately spoke to clarify: "Master? Whose master are you?"
"You."
The man was actually startled by the question. He frowned slightly under his mask and looked down at Lin Wu condescendingly, but his eyes were calm and would not make people feel uncomfortable being scrutinized.
Not to mention, he only had the clarity of self-realization in his eyes at the moment.
"You asked me who my teacher is, and it seems that you have lost your mind." He took a step forward, stretched out his hands naturally, and pretended to lift Lin Wu up, his words in a low voice were full of confusion and reproach, " It’s only been a while now and you’ve become so weak. It seems like you were really lazy when you were out there. You didn’t advance but retreated so much..."
"stop!"
Lin Wu couldn't bear it any longer, and while retreating to avoid the other party's hand, he said: "This... senior? Have you recognized the wrong person? I don't know you, and I have never seen you before. It's not who you say. Apprentice. I admit that I did offend you without confirming your life or death. If you are angry, we can have a fight."
The man paused.
Lin Wu took the opportunity to put his robe aside and quickly climbed out of the coffin, moving his hands and feet to keep warm. At the same time, he was wary of the man making a move at any time and found an opportunity to leave.
But leaving is impossible.
Because the man was staring at her, not knowing what he was thinking, and the emotion in his eyes was very strange.
Even through the mask, Lin Wu could feel that the other party was probably frowning.
"You...you said you don't know me?"
"do not know."
"You don't know who I am?"
"have no idea."
"..."
Lin Wu felt that something was not right about the situation, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back, trying to put as much distance between him and the man as possible.
But she was overthinking it. The man had no intention of approaching her. He just stared at her with an unclear look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
For a moment, the stone room was very quiet, and someone's heartbeat was loud and heavy.
After a long time, the man suddenly closed his eyes and asked in a confused manner: "How old are you this year?"
Lin Wu's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he was hesitant about how to answer. But her age is actually quite obvious, so there is no need to say wrong information here.
"Eighteen," she said.
"Eighteen..." The man murmured in a daze, "It must have been a long time, is it only eighteen..."
"What did you say?"
Lin Wu didn't hear clearly.
The man looked at her.
Lin Wu retreated repeatedly, guarding against what the man would do suddenly.
Surprisingly, the man didn't do anything, he just looked at her.
Just as she was approaching the door, hesitating whether to take the opportunity to run away, she suddenly heard the man speak, low and gentle.
"I didn't admit my mistake. I made a fortune before I fell asleep. If the person I see when I wake up has a special tattoo on his body, he should have a master-disciple relationship-" He paused and said: "Now, you kneel down. , kowtow and worship me.”
"...??"
Lin Wu had lived for more than ten years, and this was the first time she heard someone ask her to kneel down and kowtow so naturally. She was so surprised that she was stunned and wondered if she had heard wrong.
And what the other party said, do they have a master-disciple relationship? ?
What about the liar?
"You were clearly very familiar just now. You have known me for many years. You also said that my face has changed and you asked me why I am... so weak. I am different from before." She said, "Senior, do you think I trust you more?" Did you admit the wrong person, or do you still believe your words that sound like absolute nonsense?"
