After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 148 Golden Coffin

"Are we leaving this ruin?"

Although Bai Zhi really didn't want to admit it, for some reason, whenever Lin Chuan was around, she felt like she had lost her soul, completely losing her former independent thinking. She would subconsciously ask Lin Chuan for his opinion on everything. Of course, except for the kiss.

"Do you know the exit?" Lin Chuan frowned slightly, glanced around, and asked Bai Zhi softly.

"I don't know." Bai Zhi shook her head slowly.

"Then let's continue exploring. Now that we're here, I don't believe a relic can cost me my life."

After saying that, Lin Chuan walked towards one end of the hall without hesitation. Seeing this, Bai Zhi did not hesitate at all and walked towards the other end of the hall to explore.

"Huh? There's someone here!"

A moment later, Lin Chuan, who was about to finish his search of this side of the hall, suddenly stopped, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He had never imagined that besides him and Bai Zhi, there was actually a third person in this hall.

Bai Zhi, who had been paying half of her attention to Lin Chuan's situation, hurried over immediately after hearing the surprised voice.

A scantily clad woman, eyes closed, lay motionless in a corner of the palace. Her long, inky hair was casually draped, and her skin, white as snow, radiated a unique radiance in the dimly lit palace.

"Is she dead?"

Bai Zhi moved forward and her eyes fell on the motionless woman, her eyes full of confusion.

"do not know."

Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, and as he spoke, he squatted down carefully, wanting to check the woman's condition more closely.

Lin Chuan gently grasped the woman's slender hand, only to feel it icy cold, as if the chill ran straight through his fingertips into his heart. However, although the hand was cold, it was not as stiff and lifeless as a dead person's.

He quickly held his breath and concentrated, feeling carefully. Sure enough, he found an extremely weak pulse in her hand. The pulse was so faint that it seemed as if it would disappear at any time.

"How is it?" Bai Zhi came forward and stared at Lin Chuan closely.

"It seems that he is not dead, but he is almost dead." Lin Chuan spread his hands helplessly.

"Let me take a look." After saying that, Bai Zhi also squatted down, grabbed the woman's other hand, and checked her physical condition.

After a moment, Bai Zhi gently put the girl's hand down and slowly shook her head.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan stood up, took out a coat from his storage bag and covered the woman with it.

"I didn't realize you were so thoughtful."

Bai Zhi pouted slightly and looked at Lin Chuan's every move with a resentful look.

"..."

"Have you finished your investigation?"

Lin Chuan seemed to have completely ignored Bai Zhi's words. His expression remained normal. He moved his eyes away from the woman and turned to look at Bai Zhi.

"No, I rushed here immediately after hearing that something happened here." Bai Zhi said sullenly.

"I've almost finished exploring here, let me go to your side."

After saying that, Lin Chuan took the initiative to hold Bai Zhi's slender and tender little hand and walked towards the direction she had just explored.

Bai Zhi's annoyance instantly dissipated when Lin Chuan held her hand. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she followed Lin Chuan obediently and walked forward.

After searching the entire hall, they found nothing except this woman. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Lin Chuan frowned. He searched for a long time but couldn't find any useful clues in the hall. Although he felt a little unwilling, he knew that it would be useless to continue staying here, so he decisively took Bai Zhi's hand and walked out of the hall.

Outside the main hall, there was a square courtyard with the gate tightly closed, like a strict barrier, revealing a determination not to let anyone inside out.

In the center of the yard, a huge golden coffin was placed there quietly, which was particularly eye-catching in this slightly gloomy atmosphere.

Of course, these are not the most shocking things. The most shocking thing is that there is a thick blanket on the lid of the golden coffin, and on the blanket, a familiar figure is lying comfortably with his eyes closed and resting.

"Zhao Gang?!"

Lin Chuan stared at this absurd scene with his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time, his eyes full of astonishment, and so was Bai Zhi.

Zhao Gang felt someone calling him. The voice faintly reached his ears. He subconsciously opened his eyes slowly and glanced at Lin Chuan with sleepy eyes.

After seeing that the person coming was not the one who always interfered with his sleep, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about the surprised looks from Lin Chuan and others. He turned over, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"At first, I thought the Dragon Saint Lord was overdoing it. After all, who would go to the immortal ruins and still be so...remaining true to their original aspirations?"

Looking at Zhao Gang who ignored him on the golden coffin, Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly. Then, he slowly let go of Bai Zhi's hand, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the golden coffin.

However, just as he took a step, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by the person next to him.

"me and you togather."

……

"what!"

A shrill scream suddenly broke the silence in the courtyard. Zhao Gang, who had been lying comfortably on the golden coffin, was now lying on the ground in a mess, rubbing the place where he was beaten, his face full of indignation. He raised his eyes and looked angrily at the "evil-bellied duo" who were looking down at him.

"I didn't provoke you, did I? Why did you do this without saying a word?"

While yelling, Zhao Gang got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body. He looked so aggrieved, his eyes were wide open, and his gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, full of confusion and resentment. He really couldn't understand why he was hit for no reason when he didn't do anything.

"Your master specifically instructed me... us that if we catch you slacking off in the ruins, we'll give you a good beating."

Lin Chuan crossed his arms, chin slightly raised, a matter-of-fact look on his face, a hint of mischief in his eyes. Bai Zhi nodded in agreement, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

"..."

"I've already taught you a lesson. Just pretend you've never seen me. But don't do anything dirty to me again."

As Zhao Gang spoke, he rubbed the place where he had been beaten. In fact, there was no scar at all, but he still frowned deliberately, pretending to be in great pain, and groaned from time to time, looking like a poor man who was seriously injured.

After saying this, he jumped lightly and returned to the golden coffin again.

"Zhao Shengzi wouldn't want Lord Long to know that he was slacking off in the Immortal Ruins, right?" Looking at the unmoved Zhao Gang, Lin Chuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a subtle arc.

Hearing this, Zhao Gang, who was about to lie down and continue sleeping, seemed to have thought of something and his body suddenly stiffened.
