Pick up a mermaid as an apprentice

It was under Xiao Ji'an's guidance that Yu Guyuan left the town. Two people, one big and one small, embarked on the road back to Fan Haisheng.

Because Yu Guyuan has no airs and has a temperament like a half-grown boy, the two quickly became acquainted.Xiao Ji'an talked a lot about himself: how he robbed the dog for food, how he stole the dog's cub, and trained the dog cub to find food for him in front of the old dog...

Yu Guyuan couldn't help laughing.

It was already midnight when we returned to Fan Haisheng, and everyone had rested.Yu Guyuan found a bedroom for Xiao Ji'an in his yard, which Xiao Ji'an cleaned up by himself.

Yu Guyuan looked at his swift hands and feet, and said with shame: "You can clean the house..."

Xiao Ji'an nodded, "I know everything, I can also cook, but I'm a beggar, I don't cook often, I only cook a few times, every time that puppy finishes eating, he licks the bowl very clean."

"...Then your cooking should be delicious."

Xiao Ji'an smiled, showing two dimples, "I will cook for Master in the future, I will also wash your clothes and clean your room, and I will also comb other people's hair, which is very good."

The corners of Yu Guyuan's mouth twitched, "Could it be that he also practiced combing dogs' hair..."

"That's not it."

Yu Guyuan dug out the disciple uniforms in his courtyard, found a suitable one, and gave it to Xiao Ji'an.Then the two of them took a shower and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Yu Guyuan was woken up by a knock on the door.

The people outside said: "Xiao Lan, it's time to get up. I heard from the night watch disciple that you brought a child back last night?"

Yu Guyuan rubbed his eyes, hurriedly put on his clothes, and opened the door with a huff, "Brother, your news is really good."

Standing outside the door was an extremely elegant man, dressed in white clothes, with picturesque brows, making people look like spring breeze.

Yao Zhengdu took a fan and knocked him on the head, "Can it not work? I heard in the morning that a disciple caught a child who sneaked into the sect and sent it to the master. After a long interrogation, he claimed to be you apprentice, Master asked you to go to his place."

Yu Guyuan was shocked, "What?"

"Master is very angry, Xiao Lan, for such a big matter as accepting an apprentice, you should kill him first and then accept it. If Master punishes you later, you can't talk back, and be careful to make him even more angry."

Yu Guyuan trembled, "Brother, you have to save me!"

"I only have you as a junior, so if I don't save you, I will save anyone."

The two hurried to the master's residence, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a child wearing a disciple's uniform with his back facing them, kneeling on the ground.An old man with white beard and hair sat on the head chair, watching the two of them walk in coldly.

This old man is the head of Fan Haisheng, the master of Yao Zhengdu and Yu Guyuan.He is usually very majestic, and there are three thousand disciples in the sect, all of them are afraid of him. The fear of him is not because of his frightening appearance, but because of the way he punishes people. It is really cruel and makes people pee!

Yu Guyuan and Yao Zhengdu looked at each other, and they saw the words "a catastrophe is imminent" in each other's eyes.

One on the left and one on the right, they knelt down next to the child. "Meet Master."

Xiao Ji'an secretly turned her head, glanced at Yu Guyuan, and said in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry, I wanted to make you breakfast, but I didn't expect to be found out, which caused you to be called up so early..."

Xiao Ji'an put on clean clothes today, washed up, and looked like a different person from the "little rags" yesterday, Yu Guyuan couldn't recognize him anymore, the child in front of him had snow-white skin, and a pair of big black and bright eyes , the whole person is as beautiful as walking out of a painting.

Where is the shadow of the little beggar from yesterday?Just still the same short and thin.

Yu Guyuan saw that the child's eye circles were a little red, and his long eyelashes were moistened by something, so he comforted him generously: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I said I will cover you."

"Who are you going to cover? Sinister, how dare you speak boldly!"

Yu Guyuan curled his lips, "Master, your old man is really sharp, you can hear me when I speak in such a low voice..."

Yao Zhengdu let out a long cough.

Yu Guyuan glanced at him, remembered what he had told him, and fell silent all of a sudden.

"I'm not old yet, do you think I can't control you anymore? My wings are not strong yet, so I panic to recruit disciples. What do you teach other people's children? Teach him how to avoid cultivation, teach him how to go up the mountain to hunt birds?"

Yu Guyuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute Master's words, so he had no choice but to bear Master's reprimand with his head down.He was scolded and scolded, and he showed his ability. He bowed his head and was at ease with how Master Ren was spouting.

Xiao Ji'an suddenly kowtowed three times, "Master, if you want to scold me, you can scold me. It's none of my master's business. I begged him to let him accept me as a disciple. I'm a beggar. Didn't I eat the last meal?" Next, no one will care if I die on the street someday. The master took me back because he saw me as pitiful. I know this is not my place, so I will leave now. Please don’t punish me, master. .”

Yu Guyuan's heart moved, looking at Xiao Ji'an's small figure, he pursed his lips, and thought with emotion: This child is obviously so scared, so obviously scared that he has cried, but he is willing to bravely bear all the guilt for himself , Take all the faults on him alone.And I... accepted him as a disciple just to avoid cultivation, there is a reason for being lazy...

Yao Zhengdu also looked at Xiao Wuqing, but he had another thought in his mind: This kid is not simple, it sounds like he is foolishly taking the blame on himself, and talking about his life experience indiscriminately, trying to arouse his master His old man's compassion... Is it safe to put such a big-hearted child next to his big-hearted junior?

Sure enough, the old master glared at Yu Guyuan bitterly, "Listen? A good boy will be ruined by you!"

In a short period of time, Yu Guyuan thought a lot, as if several years had passed - he was already 20 years old, and he was really past the age of fun, if he brought children to play with him, it would be really misleading.

Sometimes people's growth is so simple, a small thing, a person, is the catalyst for growth.

Yu Guyuan was heartbroken, and sincerely kowtowed to the old master, "I know I was wrong, from now on I must work hard in cultivation, try my best to teach my disciples, and never embarrass the sect."

The old master nodded in satisfaction, gave Xiao Ji'an an approving look, and let a few people go out to practice.

Time flies, a year slips by quietly, the figure of the young man grows up very quickly, when Yu Guyuan picked up the short child, his height reached his chest in the blink of an eye, he couldn't get fat no matter what, he was so skinny .

Yao Zhengdu held the folding fan, shook it lightly, and said with a smile, "You are thinner than him at your age, and your body is like a thin person supported by four sticks."

"Don't mention my childhood in front of my apprentice! Children of this age are very thin!" Yu Guyuan shyly said, "But senior brother, you are always handsome."

Yao Zhengdu closed his fan and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, I'm entertaining your brother again. I'll find you a beautiful fairy tomorrow, so you won't have to make fun of me all day long."
