"Don't worry, the master will have someone take good care of Mr. Li!" You Wuniang turned her head and looked at Tan Zong, who was there focusing on the fight at the ants, said to Lian'er with a smile, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Judging from the tone and expression of Lian'er's words just now, You Wuniang keenly felt that Tan Zong, a silly boy, already had in Lian'er's heart.

According to You Wuniang's plan, Lian'er and Tan Zong were allowed to spend a while. Using Lian'er's sympathy and guilt for Tan Zong, Lian'er fell in love with Tan Zong over time, and also made Tan Zong feel affection and dependence on Lian'er. Then he went to Jiangnan to live together, stayed away from Dongting Lake, and lived a peaceful and stable life.

Unfortunately, luck made people so badly that the merits were stumbled horizontally in the middle, which caused many variables for no reason.

The Merit Teaching can have the momentum of today, which is not easy to deal with. Lian'er and others will be hostages this time. The consequences of Lian'er and others going to the Merit Teaching as hostages are unpredictable. If they are not careful, they will suffer a catastrophe.

Including You Wuniang, no one among the Ten Owls of Dongting was willing to send their children to the merit teachings, but for the overall situation of Dongting Lake, they had no choice but to take a risk, which was the only way out.

Lian'er realized from You Wuniang's melancholy expression that the merit teaching was extremely dangerous. She turned around and looked at Tan Zong squatting there with a complicated expression. Even if the merit teaching was a dragon and tiger den, she was not afraid. The only thing that could not be let go of in her heart was Tan Zong. If she was not by her side, could others take good care of him?

"Sister Lian'er, I won, I won!" At this moment, Tan Zong suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran towards Lian'er with joy, looking cheerful.

It turned out that Tan Zong was betting with Lian'er just now that he was betting on two groups of ants who would win, but the group of ants he bet on beat Lian'er and won the group of ants.

"Let's go to the street to buy snacks later." Lian'er smiled and said to Tan Zong. This was agreed in advance by the two. If Tan Zong wins, then Lian'er will buy the snacks that Tan Zong likes. If Lian'er wins, then Tan Zong will accompany Lian'er to buy the snacks that Tan Zong likes. Anyway, no matter what, Tan Zong can eat the snacks that he likes.

"Buy snacks!" Tan Zong clapped his palms and said happily.

"Mr. Li, are you really stupid?" Looking at the warm scene of Lian'er and Tan Zong together, You Wuniang couldn't help feeling a little differently. She glanced at Tan Zong, and her eyes became complicated.

Although You Wuniang never believed that Tan Zong became stupid after falling, Tan Zong's performance over the past period made her begin to doubt whether her guess was wrong. She really couldn't see any flaws of Tan Zong.

"Master, Mr. Li and I are going to buy snacks." Then, Lian'er smiled and greeted You Wuniang, led Tan Zong away from the Zizhu Forest and went to the town.

You Wuniang stared at the backs of the two, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her heart was filled with sorrow and joy. What was happy was that the relationship between Lian'er and Tan Zong was developing in the direction he expected, and what was worried about was that Lian'er's merit teaching could escape unsuccessfully.

On the way to the town with Lian'er, Tan Zong secretly considered the impact of this crisis in Dongting Lake on his trip to Huguang. Although Dongting Lake is just a small place for Huguang, it is not only related to local governments, but also to merit and religion. If used properly, it can not only uncover the evil deeds of local officials in Huguang to embezzle disaster relief funds, but also to the merit and religion in Huguang area.

"Liang'er, stupid!" Before Tan Zong and Lian'er could enter the town, a group of people came out at the entrance of the town. Bai Yu was leading the way, frowned tightly, and looked very serious. After seeing Tan Zong and Lian'er, a smile appeared on his face and shouted at the two of them.

"Bad sister!" Seeing this, Tan Zong shouted at Bai Yu with a smile.

"What did you say?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows, walked forward and reached out to grab Tan Zong's ear, and said fiercely, "Have you forgotten what I said again?"

"Sister Yu'er, I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me." Tan Zong tilted his head and grinned at Bai Yu and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, the big men following Bai Yu stood there with a smile on their face. Whenever Bai Yu saw Tan Zong, he would show his "barbaric" side, which made Tan Zong suffer a lot.

When she learned that Tan Zong and Lian'er were going to the dim sum shop in the town to buy the snacks that Tan Zong liked, Bai Yu entered the town with the two. She came here specifically to find Lian'er and Tan Zong, because the reason was because she wanted to go to the facts of the Merit Death Sect.

Lian'er and Bai Yu sandwiched Tan Zong in the middle and walked side by side. Compared to usual, their expressions became much more serious, and they looked taciturn, with a faint sadness between their eyebrows and eyes.

Although Bai Tianxing did not reveal too much about the severe situation facing Dongting Lake, Bai Yu could clearly feel that she left Dongting Lake this time, and she didn't know that she had not returned alive or why. Her first thought was to see Tan Zong, as if she had a thousand words to say to Tan Zong.

But after seeing Tan Zong, Bai Yu found that she didn't know what to say to Tan Zong at all, so she could only accompany Tan Zong and Lian'er silently.

Tan Zong felt that Lian'er and Bai Yu were worried. After all, this time they went to the Merit and Deity Sect to be hostages, and if there was a little mistake, they would fall into a place of doom.

However, for Tan Zong, if he could go to the Merit of Deity with Lian'er and Bai Yu and his group, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with the Merit of Deity:

It is obvious that Lian'er, Bai Yu and others will definitely go to the command center of the Merit of Deity in Huguang area by then. If he can get in, he will not only understand the operation of Merit of Deity, but also be able to annihilate the core forces of Merit of Deity in Huguang in one fell swoop, which will be of great benefit to quelling the chaos in Huguang.

Tan Zong deliberately ignored Lian'er and Bai Yu's thoughts, and still laughed with the two of them as usual. Lian'er and Bai Yu forced a smile to him.

Shortly after entering the town, Tan Zong glanced around while chatting and laughing. He saw a big man bearded in a stall not far from him, holding the goods from the stall in his hand and was bargaining with the stall owner.

After seeing the bearded man, a smile appeared on the corner of Tan Zong's mouth. The bearded man was Shen San. Shen San asked someone to monitor him closely at the town. Once he found out that Tan Zong came to the town, he immediately reported to him. Then he would appear around Tan Zong to receive the instructions issued by Tan Zong in secret.

When Shen San looked up at him, Tan Zong seemed to stretch his waist lazily. If you look closely, you will find that his hands changed several shapes when stretching. These shapes looked very casual, but in Shen San's eyes, they had another meaning.

After seeing Tan Zong clean up, Chen San reached out and patted the dust on his left shoulder, then paid for the item on the stall, got up and left.

Seeing Chen San leaving, a smile appeared on Tan Zong's mouth. He had successfully conveyed his meaning to Chen San.

After buying pastries from the dim sum shop, Lian'er and Bai Yu did not rush home, but took Tan Zong to the lake and came to a secluded woods. They sat on the stones by the lake and looked at the lake in front of them in a daze, thinking about their own thoughts.

Tan Zong sat among the two of them and ate the snacks he bought. He had decided that he would follow Lian'er and Bai Yu to the Merit Teachings, and come to Huanglong to destroy the Merit Teachings in Huguang's command center in one fell swoop. Maybe he could follow the clues and pull out the forces of Merit Teachings in other regions.

Lian'er and Bai Yu sat there all the time, with their hands supporting their chins and looking at the lake surface in a daze. After eating the snacks, Tan Zong also followed the two of them, and supported their chins with his hands looking at the calm lake surface.

Not long after, Tan Zong closed his eyes, and even breathing sounds were heard from his mouth, and he actually fell asleep.

"Liang'er, it's getting late, let's go back." It was not until Tan Zong's head slowly leaned against Bai Yu's shoulder that Bai Yu, who was thinking, realized that it was evening unconsciously, so he turned to Lian'er, who was still in a daze, and said.

Lian'er came to her senses after hearing this, smiled slightly at Bai Yu, gently woke up Tan Zong who was sleeping soundly, and led Tan Zong who was sleepy and returned to the town.

At Bai Yu's invitation, Tan Zong and Lian'er went to Bai Mansion. Bai Yu asked the kitchen to bring the prepared wine and dishes to the small courtyard where she lived, and drank happily with Lian'er in the living room, recalling interesting childhood stories together, and making pleasant laughs from time to time.

Tan Zong didn't drink, and sat there and ate voraciously. He had already felt that Lian'er and Bai Yu had a pessimistic attitude towards going to the Merit of Deity, because they seemed to have no confidence to escape from the Merit of Deity of Deity without any harm.

"Silly, I originally wanted to take care of you in the future, but it seems that there is no chance. I will just regard this glass of wine as I apologize to you." While talking and laughing, Bai Yu suddenly poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Tan Zong, and said to him with a smile, with a strange tenderness flashing in his eyes, "If it weren't for me, you would be fine now. If there was a next life, I would be willing to marry you to make up for my fault."

Hearing this, Lian'er was slightly stunned at first, and then her eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad. After spending time together, although she knew that Bai Yu had a good impression of Tan Zong, she could never say anything about marrying Tan Zong in front of her. If it were her, she would definitely not open her mouth. Could it be that Bai Yu's feelings for Tan Zong were deeper than herself?
