The stone door of the cave looked particularly cold in the moonlight. Lin Bing pushed the door open and was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Senior sister Luo Lan was sitting quietly at the stone table, looking at him with a smile.
"You're back, Lin Bing."
Luo Lan's voice was like a spring breeze, but it made Lin Bing feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Lin Bing asked cautiously.
Luo Lan stood up with a smile and walked towards him with a gentle tone.
"I came here specifically to apologize to you."
Lin Bing frowned and looked at her in confusion, "Apologise? Why?"
Luo Lan raised her hand and put it on his shoulder, took out a spiritual stone from her arms and handed it to him. This rare spiritual stone was translucent dark blue and shimmered like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Its surface is covered with tiny lines, like the writing of ancient runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
When touched, the surface of the spirit stone is as smooth as jade, warm and has a subtle pulsation.
It is absolutely extraordinary at first glance.
"This is a gift to you and my apology."
Lin Bing took the spirit stone doubtfully and felt the huge power contained in it. He was a little surprised and thought about whether to refuse.
"This gift is too expensive, I can't afford it."
Luo Lan's face showed deep apology, and her eyes showed sincere remorse. Her eyes were firm and guilty, trying to convey her inner regret and determination to make amends.
She lowered her head slightly and bit her lower lip gently, expressing her inner guilt and humility.
At this time, her eyebrows knitted together slightly, showing an attitude of sincerely admitting her mistake.
If Lin Bing didn't know what kind of person she was, she would have been deceived by her.
"This is to make up for my previous mistakes. I did everything wrong before. I hope we can start over and treat each other with sincerity."
Luo Lan looked at Lin Bing with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She lowered her head gently and pursed her lips slightly, as if she was enduring the torment in her heart.
She quietly reached out her hand and touched Lin Bing's arm with a slight trembling, as if she were a lone wolf lost in the cold night, looking forward to Lin Bing's forgiveness.
Then, she whispered again.
"Lin Bing, I know I was wrong, but please believe me, I will definitely change it."
Lin Bing was silent for a moment. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he shook the unclear spirit stone in his hand, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I accept your apology and gift."
Even so, Lin Bing knew in her heart that Luo Lan's apology was like a weasel's hypocritical New Year greeting to a chicken, with bad intentions and unknown intentions.
Sure enough, when Lin Bing turned around and placed the spirit stone in his hand on the table, the guilt in Luo Lan's eyes was deeply embedded with a touch of resentment.
She clapped her hands and prepared to give her second gift, which became the climax of the scene.
A living sun!
As Luo Lan clapped her hands, a tied-up man was carried into Lin Bing's cave.
In the deep cave, Luo Lan and Lin Bing stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.
Luo Lan looked at Lin Bing with a sneer on her lips, feeling secretly proud in her heart. She had already learned from the senior sister that Lin Bing could not do anything to this man, so she deliberately brought him here to cause trouble for Lin Bing.
"I brought this man to you."
Luo Lan said with a smile, her eyes wandering back and forth between Lin Bing and the man, her tone was all about Lin Bing's benefit.
Lin Bing glanced at Luo Lan and then at the tied man, frowning slightly. He was extremely dissatisfied with Luo Lan's actions. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"What does it mean?"
Luo Lan smiled slightly, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"I know that your cultivation has not been going well recently. I am the living yang I prepared for you. I heard that you couldn't bear to let him die and saved his life. He should repay you."
"This man will not escape death in my hands. Why not go with the flow and let him become the nourishment for your cultivation."
Luo Lan looked at Lin Bing's expression and felt secretly happy. She was calm on the surface, but she was happy inside.
"Since you have brought all the gifts, I won't disturb your practice."
Luo Lan said goodbye and turned around to leave the cave.
Lin Bing watched Luo Lan leave with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes. His face was condensed and his lips were slightly pursed, revealing his inner dissatisfaction with Luo Lan's provocation.
The farewell gesture seemed cold, as if maintaining a distance.
Although Lin Bing accompanied Luo Lan to the door and sent her away like a plague, when she returned to the cave, she saw the man Luo Lan had brought lying on the ground.
The man was tied up and lying helplessly on the ground, sweat falling from his forehead. He raised his head, his eyes anxious and hopeful, looking straight at Lin Bing, his eyes full of desire, his lips trembled slightly, trying to speak, he Looking at Lin Bing, it was as if Lin Bing was his only hope.
Confusion surged in Lin Bing's heart, and the disgust in his heart reached its peak with Luo Lan's actions. His heart was churning, but he did not dare to express it directly.
He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and led the man aside.
Lin Bing couldn't let others discover that he was a man, so naturally he wouldn't use him for training. Since he accepted the man, he could only keep the man first.
He untied the rope from the man's body and ordered coldly.
"Stay here and clean the cave properly."
He handed over a key and stared at the man with cold eyes.
"I'm leaving you with a life, but you have to remember that you must not disturb my practice, otherwise, I will end your life with my own hands."
The man nodded silently, took the key, and seemed to understand his position. Lin Bing made no secret of his disgust towards him, turned around and left, leaving a cold figure behind.
The man began to be busy in the cave and did not dare to neglect at all. Lin Bing's practice was like a restricted area for him. He knew that if he violated it, his life would be in danger.
He carefully cleaned the cave, fearing to disturb Lin Bing who was concentrating on his cultivation.
He moved lightly, trying to avoid making any noticeable noise so as not to disturb Lin Bing's meditative state.
However, he still couldn't help but glance secretly at the corner where Lin Bing was practicing from time to time, trying to spy on him practicing.
The silence in the cave was filled with the sounds of men's movements and cleaning, and a dull atmosphere enveloped the entire space.
Lin Bing started practicing again, but he felt very depressed. He took a deep breath and determined to bury this disgust and contradiction and prevent it from affecting his practice.
But being spied on all the time made him feel an uncontrollable surge of anxiety, and the cultivation space in the cave seemed to be solidified by this outsider.
He estimated that this man was specially found by Luo Lan to monitor and test him.
Frowning slightly, Lin Bing secretly thought about how to deal with this trouble. In order not to expose himself, he could not attack him easily without thinking of a perfect reason.
There was nothing he could do to deal with this person for the time being, and Lin Bing couldn't practice well, so he slapped his forehead and decided to leave the sect first.
At the reception desk of the sect mission, Lin Bing took out his sect token. This sect token was a magnificent object made of ancient spiritual stone, showing a deep blue luster.
The surface of the token was engraved with complex rune patterns and shone with a faint light.
