Chapter 428: Too High to Reach

Staring at Chu Junran's thoughtful face, Bai Chen turned his eyes and suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Hey! Isn't it too tiring to practice in the academy? I took a break from the busy work, so I went out for a walk. With the Holy Order, I also You don’t have to ask for leave from the teacher, you can come and go as you please, which is very convenient.”

"oh……"

Chu Junran calmly clasped her bare hands on the cup, took a small sip, and then used the cover of the cup to curl her fingers at Bai Chen.

Seeing the direction she was pointing, Bai Chen understood that she wanted him to be careful about Elder Chu.

In other words, no matter what Elder Chu wants to say today, he has to try his best to make the other party happy and sneak away first.

But Bai Chen has his own pride, so why would he give in just because the other party is strong?

Besides, with the trump card in his hand now, he doesn't feel like he can't escape.

Chu He looked at the two people looking at each other, with a wrinkled old face, and showed a happy smile: "Bai Shaoxia, you don't know, Junran has been looking at the rabbit in a daze every day for the past year, and his mouth I often hear your name."

"Elder!"

Hearing this, Chu Junran's unruly little face, as cold as ice lotus, showed a rare blush, and he let out an angry sound.

Junran...

Thinking of the scene of the two of them eating rabbit meat in the cave, Bai Chen unconsciously showed a knowing smile: "It's true, we haven't seen each other for a year. Time flies so fast."

"Hehehe, young hero, you have devoted yourself to training this year, and your strength has improved a lot. We at the Phoenix Temple are very pleased to see your growth."

"Elder, what do you mean by this...?" Bai Chen frowned.

An undercurrent surged in Chu He's plain ancient eyes: "We have been paying attention to you for a long time. Your talent and temperament are rare in the world. As long as you can get the right guidance, your future achievements will be amazing! "

"Elder, you are so complimentary. Everything I have today is all thanks to the teacher's teachings." Bai Chen cupped his hands and said with a slight smile.

"Are you happy?" Chu He asked coldly.

"It's the master!" Bai Chen replied decisively.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment. Chu Junran also pinched his hands together, feeling very entangled.

Silence lasted for a long time. Looking at Bai Chen's plain eyes, Chu He suddenly smiled and said: "Shengtian Academy is indeed very strong, but there is only one old man Xuan who is very strong. As for the Seventh Master, then... In my Phoenix Temple, it doesn’t count.”

Bai Chen raised his eyelids and smiled softly: "So, elder, you are stronger than my master?"

"!!"

Bai Chen's words made Chu He's face suddenly turn pale, and the smile in his old eyes turned cold in an instant.

The atmosphere became awkward again. Chu Junran was thinking a lot and quickly filled the empty cup for Chu He: "Elder, Shengtian College and I, the Phoenix Temple, have been close friends for thousands of years. It doesn't matter who is stronger or weaker. Come, drink tea. "

"snort!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Chu He took a sip of hot tea and said disdainfully: "I have never fought against Shu Kexin, so naturally I don't dare to belittle myself. Besides, the reason why I came to talk to you here today is just for Jun. !”

"For Junran?" Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, and immediately saw Chu Junran's angry little face again, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Over the years, many men in the world have admired Junran, but Junran remained unmoved. However, just last year, she suddenly couldn't forget the name of a young man. When the palace master learned about this, he ordered an investigation. Only then did I realize that this young man is not a mediocre person."

Chu He's words made Chu Junran blush even more and remained silent.

Seeing this, Bai Chen felt like a lightning strike in his heart, and his body trembled: Junran, she would actually treat me...? How is this possible!

Seeing Chu Junran's shyness at this moment, Bai Chen couldn't help but think of that day again. In order to save her life, Bai Chen had to tear off her clothes and saw a woman's body for the first time. That scene is now rare. The moon is apart, but it appears in Bai Chen's mind as clearly as if it were yesterday.

His throat rolled hard twice, and Bai Chen suddenly felt embarrassed: "Well, Elder Chu, Junran and I just met by chance. We are not familiar with each other. We are not you at all..."

"I understand~" Before Bai Chen could finish his explanation, Chu He interrupted him and continued with a smile: "Young man, especially when you meet the most beautiful woman in the world like Junran, even if you have the opportunity, you still feel It's like a dream, it doesn't feel real, this is human nature."

"Elder, actually I..."

"Actually, you don't need to say it again. Even if you and Junran are in love, with your current strength, it will be difficult for you to be recognized by everyone in our Phoenix Temple. So when we meet this time, I also want to ask you if you are willing to leave Shengtian Academy. , join our Phoenix Temple?”

"Well……"

Hearing Chu He's words, Lao Xia's words instantly came to Bai Chen's mind. If he cannot be used by the Phoenix Temple in the future, he will be hunted down by the Phoenix Temple...!

Seeing that Bai Chen's eyes were dull and his expression was stiff, Chu He mistakenly thought that he was hesitating, so he shook his head and said: "Little guy, if you want to have a beauty like Junran, you can't just rely on single-mindedness and persistence." , and more importantly, you must have the strength to shock the world! Before I left, the Palace Master personally confessed that as long as you are willing to join the Phoenix Temple, the Palace Master will accept you as a direct disciple, and when Junran ascends to the position of Palace Master in the future , you can also take advantage of the opportunity to become the protector of the sect of our Phoenix Temple. At that time, we will betroth Junran to you, and people in the world will not dare to gossip anymore."

"Elder, what on earth are you talking about!" Chu Junran jumped to his feet, feeling resentful.

"Hey, you kid, I'm just relaying the words of the palace master. How can I dare to interfere with your life-long events on my own?"

"Grandpa, how could he do this!"

"Okay, okay, your thoughts about Bai Chen are all seen by us elders. Junran, just sit aside and listen."

"It does not make sense!"

Chu Junran frowned and hesitated to speak. Although she seemed unwilling to do so, she still glanced at Bai Chen secretly, not knowing what choice he would make.

For an extremely proud woman like Chu Junran, her body was seen, but she did not choose to kill him because her heart inexplicably had a place for him.

If not, Bai Chen might have been buried under the stone monument for a long time.

Chuhe is now giving Bai Chen a chance, and this opportunity can also be said to be an opportunity that everyone in the world will go crazy for.

Becoming the direct disciple of King Feng is a privilege that is far more cherished than becoming a disciple of the Seventh Master of the Inner Academy.

However, facing the various looks cast by the three people, Bai Chen stood up helplessly, bowed to Chu He and said piously: "Thanks to the favor of the palace master and the elders, what I have always wanted to say is ...Junjun is a celestial phoenix that is envied by the world, and at the same time she has an unparalleled grace and beauty that will captivate a country, but I really...can't reach that high!"

"What did you say!"
