Chapter 868: Chapter 297: A Coincidental Meeting [Two-in-One]_3 Chapter 868: Chapter 297: A Coincidental Meeting [Two-in-One]_3 Moreover, Dong Xiaoyan was so concerned about the registration of the divine doctor… All things considered…

Isn’t it as obvious as a bald spot on a head full of lice?

It’s awkward that the little palace master asked me with a puzzled face… I couldn’t even respond, okay?

Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t help but admire, “As expected of a senior in the martial world, with such keen insight. Discerning the profound from the trivial, making a judgment at a glance… Tsk tsk, this is what you call experience in the martial world.”

Experience it is, but as for being experience in the martial world, that might not necessarily be the case.

Feng Yin and Jiao Sansheng exchanged a glance, both seeing the unspoken amusement in each other’s eyes, tacitly choosing not to mention it.

And so, Feng Yin affirmed that the other had no ill intentions towards them, because if there had been, that moment of shock would have been the perfect opportunity to strike!

“How has a senior like you chosen to settle down in such a place? You must enjoy the finer things in life.”

Feng Yin quickly changed the subject.

Otherwise, once she realizes what’s been going on, she will certainly feel embarrassed.

She might be slow, but she’s not stupid.

Realizing what has happened isn’t that hard; it won’t be long before she figures it out on her own.

Figuring it out isn’t the problem, the real issue is if she does understand and becomes embarrassed, she’ll start causing trouble for me. I’ve been through similar situations more than once or twice, and in the end, it’s always been a headache for me. It’s better to nip such things in the bud if possible.

“This place has a broad view and fresh air, and as martial artists, we don’t fear the cold. Choosing to stay here can truly be considered delightful.”

Jiao Sansheng said, “Moreover, here I have the company of a friend. It’s one of life’s joys, truly comfortable and enjoyable.”

“A friend’s company?”

“Yes, this pine tree here.” Jiao Sansheng gently caressed the small pine tree, a warm smile appearing in his eyes.

He paused, then added, “This is my friend. Though he cannot speak, but…”

“Who says I can’t talk? I just don’t want to waste words on you,” said the pine tree with a vibration of its consciousness, directly engaging in a telepathic communication that left Jiao Sansheng completely flabbergasted, “You, you, you…”

Although Jiao Sansheng had been living here, the pine tree had had a prejudice against him from the start and had never shown him a friendly face.

So, Jiao Sansheng’s stay was nothing but his own wishful thinking, a consolation to himself.

In reality, the pine tree never paid him much attention.

It was a one-sided infatuation on Jiao Sansheng’s part, considering himself a friend of the pine tree, while the tree had no such consensus!

But at this moment, the pine tree surprisingly found out this guy knew its owner, and from the looks of it, was probably one of their own, so naturally, it instantly changed its attitude!

If this guy is familiar with the owner, he can’t be a fool!

In that case, I might as well chat with you; it’s no big deal.

However, this unexpected mental shock startled Jiao Sansheng.

He had intended the tree as a friend but did not plan to elaborate, not wishing to reveal the existence of such a mystical and divine tree to Feng Yin and the others.

One must always be cautious, even if Doctor Feng claims to have lofty principles and Dong Xiaoyan comes from the Cloud Palace, recognized as formidable figures; but the pine tree is an enlightened spiritual plant.

With at least ten thousand years of cultivation, even a major sect would deem it worthy as a spiritual plant to stabilize their fortune, which is why Jiao Sansheng opted to conceal his speech and not disclose the real reason for his stay.

What if someone harbors evil intentions?

Unexpectedly, the pine tree took the initiative to speak up, exposing its enlightened spiritual plant status right in front of Feng Yin.

As a result, Jiao Sansheng was rather taken aback.

What’s going on here?

“This one is a friend, so let’s not be so impolite in the future.”

Feng Yin softly said to the pine tree.

The pine tree immediately reacted, “So it’s a friend…”

Suddenly, a wave of mental energy washed over Jiao Sansheng, warming up considerably, “We’re friends, very good friends indeed.”

“Is that so? That’s quite fortunate then,” Feng Yin said with a smile.

The pine tree became even happier.

Jiao Sansheng: “…”

If Doctor Feng hadn’t called you a friend, would you have paid any attention to me during this period?

But facing Feng Yin’s gaze, Jiao Sansheng still replied cheerfully, “Yes, yes, the small tree and I are old friends, with whom I share everything.”

“Mm, that’s truly a wonderful fate.”

Feng Yin smiled.

Immediately after, Jiao Sansheng’s face contorted.

Because the pine tree had quietly said to him, “You’d better not mention how I’ve been calling you an idiot.”

Jiao Sansheng: “…”

Oh, for crying out loud!

Seeing Feng Yin look his way, Jiao Sansheng hurriedly changed the subject.

I definitely don’t want anyone to know a tree has been calling me an idiot…

“May I ask where you two are headed?”

Jiao Sansheng asked eagerly.

He had previously stayed in Yuezhou for a long time, simply to repay the life-saving grace he had received; with his status and background, it really wouldn’t make sense for him to just loiter around the Conscience Grocery Store every day.

But after seeing the Cat Emperor and Peng Wanli, he felt that the divine doctor wouldn’t need him anymore since his own cultivation was of no real use.

Yet, he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he rented an inn next to the Conscience Grocery Store to keep watch as a silent security guard, to defend against any unexpected events.

It wasn’t until the divine doctor announced to all of Yuezhou about his departure that Jiao Sansheng felt it was pointless to stay in the city any longer. After all, it is a human gathering place, and for him, a member of the demon kind, staying in a human-dominated area without purpose was meaningless. So he moved outside the city to keep company with the pine tree, after all, for him the pine tree was his only recognized friend. Recognizing it one-sidedly still counted!
