The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

On this day, Hu Xingtong, who had just come out of seclusion, received a call from Si Xu. He was planning to go and take a look since he had nothing to do.

From a distance, I saw a white figure talking to a green figure. They seemed to be behaving intimately, like a couple who had been in love for many years.

"The third brother is here, come quickly." Si Xu saw Hu Xingtong standing there from a distance and waved to her.

Hu Xingtong came to his senses belatedly, and the man happened to turn his head. The face that had appeared in Qingyue's arms was now standing in front of him vividly. This made Hu Xingtong pause and consider whether he should take this step.

Seeing this, Si Xu also knew what Hu Xingtong was thinking. He called out again in a gentle tone, "Third Brother, come here. I will teach you a secret technique today."

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong stepped forward and walked in front of Si Xu and the other man.

"I've met Master."

"No need to be so polite. Just wait for your brother. He's gone to look for your sister and the others. It will take some time." Si Xu explained, but from time to time he would glance at the person standing beside him.

"Xiao Xingtong, come here." Someone called her from the side. Hu Xingtong looked carefully and saw Qingyue sitting on a bamboo chair not far away, swaying and looking very comfortable.

Hu Xingtong glanced at Si Xu, who nodded slightly.

Hu Xingtong, who had received the pardon, ran to where Qingyue was without looking back. Seeing Qingyue's leisurely appearance, he asked, "When did Senior Zijing wake up?"

"Yesterday, but don't blame your master for not telling you. The main reason is that he doesn't have much time left." Qingyue didn't look at her, but just held a palm-leaf fan to cover her face.

"Why? I've only been in seclusion for a short time. Has something happened that I don't know about?" Hu Xingtong was puzzled. Every time he went out, he was like a disconnected country bumpkin, knowing nothing.

[Your master's clone is about to dissipate. This clone's obsession was to wait for Zi Jing. Now that Zi Jing has awakened, this clone has lost its meaning. By the way, since you have time, you can do this task as well.]

[Host, please help Tan Luo meet his master and complete the "Let go of obsessions, and reach the path to heaven" and "Flowers will bloom again, and people will meet again" achievements. Time limit: three days.]

"Why is it a time-limited mission? Are we in such a hurry?" Hu Xingtong was a little surprised. After all, Hanlu Mountain was very far away from Fanyun Sect. Even if she notified her master to come now, she couldn't be sure whether she would be able to make it in time.

[Luckily, it only takes a stick of incense for the two bosses to meet.] The system spoke in a flowery manner, but it also reassured Hu Xingtong. As long as the speed was not a concern, Hu Xingtong only needed to understand the master's situation.

"Sister Qingyue, what happened to my master?" To get information, one must act nicely. Right now, the person who is most suitable to act nicely is standing in front of him. He should not miss this opportunity.

"Sister's voice sounds so beautiful. It's okay for me to tell you. It was your grandmaster himself who said that his clone would soon dissipate and leave within four days. So he wanted to take this opportunity to give you five some guidance, so as to help his disciple as well." Qingyue gave a brief explanation and was about to continue, but Sixu coughed lightly behind Hu Xingtong, which made Qingyue stop talking.

"Okay, your senior brothers are here, you should come over quickly too." Si Xu said expressionlessly, but the careful Hu Xingtong still noticed that his hand on his side was gently twisting the corner of his sleeve. The small movement undoubtedly revealed Si Xu's mood at the moment.

Hu Xingtong followed Si Xu to an open space. Qingyue and Zijing sat aside tactfully. Those who didn't know would have thought they were relatives watching the game.

"Let's not waste any more time. Except for the third brother, all of you should demonstrate the skills you have learned one by one. I will find your mistakes." Si Xu said, looking around at everyone. His usual gentleness had disappeared, replaced by the majesty of a teacher.

"Master..." Hu Xingtong weakly raised his hand in the crowd, then asked in a low voice, "Why exclude me?"

Si Xu looked at him, sighed, and lost his good temper for once. "It's your Master's fault. Everyone else has been taught the inner skills, but you haven't. You have the techniques but no inner skills. It's useless to have tricks without substance."

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong turned around and looked at the people around him, asking uncertainly, "Do you all have a mental method?"

Han Qianyu and Sun Ze nodded, and Sun Ze spoke first: "When I first reached the Qi Refining Stage, my master taught me the Heart Method, which is the Mortal Life Secret."

Han Qianyu followed closely behind, "I'm almost there too, it's for the Brahma Heart Technique."

After hearing this, Hu Xingtong turned his head to look at Xiao Yuheng and Tan Yuruo. These two people had lower cultivation than him, so they didn't have any mental methods.

"You guys don't have it too, do you?"

Xiao Yuheng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, then replied, "When I took the elective course, my master taught me the Heart Sutra, called the Thousand Desires Sutra."

Tan Yuruo nodded immediately after, "My master taught me this after I chose the path. It's called the Jinwang Jue."

After hearing this, Hu Xingtong felt mixed emotions. He felt lost for his own shortcomings, but also had some complaints about his master's neglect of him.

Hu Xingtong pouted in dissatisfaction and muttered, "I'm embarrassed when you say that..."

Si Xu looked at her with a hint of helplessness, and a softness flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, Third Brother. I summoned you here today to make up for this regret. I will teach you everything your master has not taught you."

The haze in Hu Xingtong's heart was swept away, and he smiled instantly. "I think it may be that Master expected that the Grandmaster would teach me in his place, so he gave up the joy of family life for this disciple's grandson."

After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and only Qingyue's faint laughter could be heard.

Family...happiness? If you can't speak, don't say it.

At this moment, Hu Xingtong gradually realized the meaning of family happiness. He was about to explain, but saw Si Xu suddenly silent, and his face looked very bad.

"Master, are you angry?" Hu Xingtong was so panicked, afraid that an unintentional word of his would anger the person he had just embraced.

Si Xu's voice was low and filled with a hint of anger, "Is Tan Luo still a sword cultivator?"

Hearing this, several people panicked instantly, not knowing what was going on. Sun Ze saw that something was wrong and hurried forward to answer: "Master is practicing both the sword and the life."

"That's his innate sword spirit. How can he change to another path? This is a waste of his great talent!" Si Xu shouted angrily, scaring Hu Xingtong so much that he stepped back repeatedly, thinking that he had done something bad unintentionally.

"Go, call him over to me. I want to ask this little bastard in person what he is thinking." Si Xu commanded Sun Ze, and at this moment he looked nothing like the gentleman he used to be.

When Hu Xingtong heard Si Xu asking Sun Ze to find Tan Luo, he stopped immediately. Who would have thought that his unintentional words would inexplicably facilitate the completion of the task, it was like God's help.

However, comparing this first, Hu Xingtong wanted to know more about the reason why Tan Luo changed his path, and what was going on with the ferocious Si Xu at this moment.

"Why is my master so angry? It seems that no one can stop him." Hu Xingtong knew that if he didn't understand something, he should ask the system. At least the system would understand it better than him.

[It's normal. Your master treats Tan Luo like his own son. Tan Luo was raised by Si Xu since he was a child, so the two of them are like father and son.]

"Then I understand. My son didn't listen to his father and was rebellious. When his father found out, he would give him a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat." Hu Xingtong felt a little gloating.

The system simply expressed its frustration, "So, doesn't that mean you now have a grandfather and a father?"

Uh...that seems to be the case.

Who cares? As long as the mission is accomplished, that's all that matters.
