Hard to be a master

Shen Ziliu frowned when he heard this, apparently he didn't know it beforehand.

Guan Jingxuan looked at the two of them, and said hesitantly, "The contest you just had..."

Zi Lan said with a smile: "There is a result, I believe Brother Shen is a man who keeps his word."

Shen Ziliu had a stinking face and said nothing, as if he really wanted to talk but didn't say anything.

Zi Lan went on to say: "Originally, I should have changed my name after formally apprenticeship. I was in a hurry just now. I hope Mr. Guan will forgive me."

Guan Jingxuan said: "It doesn't matter..."

Turning her head to look at Shen Ziliu, who was obviously sulking, Guan Jingxuan said "wait a moment" to Zi Lan, then took Shen Ziliu's hand and took him aside.

The warmth from the palms slightly dispelled Shen Ziliu's depression. After the two walked away and stood still, Guan Jingxuan wanted to let go, but Shen Ziliu held him instead.Guan Jingxuan didn't think much about it, just let him hold it as if his apprentice was acting coquettishly again.

"Xiaoliu," Guan Jing stretched out her free hand to help Shen Ziliu straighten the hem of his clothes that were messed up during the fight with Zilan, and said, "About taking Zilan as an apprentice, if you are really that bad If you are willing, you can refuse as a teacher."

Shen Ziliu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt that more than half of the depression in his heart dissipated in an instant, his straight back suddenly softened, and his whole body hung limply on Guan Jingxuan like a slow loris.

Guan Jingxuan hugged Shen Ziliu and patted him on the back lightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, allowing this apprentice who was already much taller than her to act like a child.

After getting tired of it for a while, Shen Ziliu, who was buried in Guan Jingxuan's shoulder, raised his head, rubbed his cheek against Guan Jingxuan's neck, and said, "I would like to admit defeat. It's because my disciple is not as skilled as others, so master doesn't have to break the contract for me."

After a pause, he said again: "But Master has to promise me that he will not accept other people as disciples in the future."

Guan Jingxuan didn't realize that the posture of the two was too intimate, but felt itchy from being rubbed, so she shrank her neck while laughing: "Okay, I promise you as a teacher."

Shen Ziliu kissed Guan Jingxuan quietly on the side of the neck, and said: "I can't count the one who promised that child!"

Guan Jingxuan, who had no idea that her incense was stolen, said with a helpless smile, "Okay, it's up to you."

With Guan Jingxuan's guarantee, Shen Ziliu stood up straight, informed Guan Jingxuan, and then left with Zilan.

I don't know what Zi Lan said to Shen Ziliu. When the two returned to Qingmengyuan, Shen Ziliu seemed to have accepted Zi Lan's request to worship Guan Jingxuan as his teacher peacefully.Guan Jingxuan was a little curious about this, but since the two of them had avoided him on purpose before, and thought they were unwilling to let him know, Guan Jingxuan pressed curiosity and didn't ask any more questions.

Both Guan Jingxuan and Zi Lan didn't care much about auspicious days, so after a simple apprenticeship ceremony was held in Qingmengyuan that evening, Zilan officially became Qingmengyuan's second disciple.Zi Lan was a few years older than Shen Ziliu, and the two had always been friends, so they didn't change their name to "Senior Brother", they still referred to each other by their first names.

Zi Lan used to live in the school dormitory, and even if she regained her past life memories, she still maintained the original state. Now that she has become an inner disciple of Qingmengyuan, she should naturally move to live in the teacher's school before establishing her own family.Guan Jingxuan walked around Qingmengyuan, feeling a little worried.

When he was building Qingmengyuan, he never thought that he would accept apprentices in the future, so he didn't enclose much land, which was more than enough for him alone anyway.Later, Shen Ziliu was added, Guan Jingxuan vacated a piece of land next to his bedroom, and built him a bamboo house with enough space.But now that another apprentice is suddenly added, Guan Jingxuan doesn't know where to arrange him.

There is still a lot of open space in the front yard and the back yard, but no matter whether Zi Lan is placed in the front yard or the back yard, it is not suitable, and it seems too close to each other.If Qingmengyuan is enlarged as a whole, there will be too much movement, and it will be very troublesome to rearrange even the enchantment spirit stones.

"Master, this disciple has a way."

Guan Jingxuan was worried, when Shen Ziliu suddenly said.

"Huh? Let's talk about it."

Shen Ziliu handed Guan Jingxuan a cup of re-brewed hot tea, and said, "Disciple can free up the bamboo house for Zilan to live in."

"How can this be done?" Zi Lan who was sitting on the side quickly said, "If the bamboo house is given to me, where should Brother Shen live? In fact, it doesn't matter if the disciple lives in the dormitory temporarily, and the disciple will move here after the master arranges the disciple. "

If Zi Lan hadn't told Guan Jingxuan before that he was envious of Shen Ziliu's master's love, Guan Jingxuan might have considered this plan, but now that he knew it and accepted Zi Lan as his apprentice, he felt that he must do his best to be a master Therefore, he said: "No, since you have already accepted me as your teacher, there is no reason for you to stay in the dormitory. If others know about it, they will talk about you behind their backs."

Shen Ziliu cleared his throat and said, "Master, the disciple hasn't finished yet."

After Guan Jingxuan's eyes returned to him, Shen Ziliu said: "My disciple's idea is that Zi Lan will move to live in the bamboo house, and the disciple will move in to live with Master. This way, there will be no need for large-scale construction work, and all the things in the bamboo house will be ready-made. "

Before Guan Jingxuan could speak, she heard Zi Lan say, "This...isn't it convenient?"

Shen Ziliu shrugged and said, "It's nothing inconvenient. I used to live with Master for a long time."

Zi Lan said, "Will Master not be squeezed?"

Shen Ziliu said: "Master's bedroom can be placed between two couches and there is a screen between them. If the master feels crowded, the disciple can sleep in the outer room."

Saying that, Shen Ziliu suddenly looked at Guan Jingxuan, and said, "What do you think, Master? Would it be inconvenient to live with your disciple?"

When asked suddenly, Guan Jingxuan froze for a moment, and said, "It's not inconvenient to be a teacher..."

Shen Ziliu suddenly smiled, and pointedly said: "There is no inconvenience for my disciple."

He bit the word "inconvenient" a little harder, and Guan Jingxuan immediately understood what he was referring to, felt his face dry for some reason, and coughed dryly: "Hey, let's arrange it like this for now. The time is not right today. It's early, there's no rush at this time, Zi Lan will go back to the school dormitory to pack up later, Xiaoliu and I will tidy up the bamboo house, and you can move in tomorrow."

Zi Lan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."

Where Guan Jingxuan didn't notice, the two young men exchanged a tacit look.

After solving the problem of accommodation, the three masters and apprentices were not in a hurry, and they had a meal together in a leisurely manner, which was a celebration of the growth of the master.Originally, Guan Jingxuan was still a little worried about Shen Ziliu, but who knew that the two young people who were still fighting earth-shatteringly during the day, at this time, there was no quarrel at all, and the banquet was harmonious.

At the end of the banquet, Zi Lan suddenly said: "On the day of the disciple's alchemy trial, I heard a discussion from my fellow disciples that the Chang Gung Association will be here for a few days. Master, what is the Chang Gung Association?"

Guan Jingxuan was a little surprised when he heard the words, and said: "The Chang Gung Association is coming soon? The cave has been closed for a few years, and I didn't pay much attention... The Chang Gung Association and the Lingtai Association are somewhat similar. It is because the scale of the Chang Gung Association is much smaller, and only monks who have entered the alchemy stage and have not yet formed an alchemy can participate. And unlike the Lingtai Association, which can receive benefits as long as they enter the spiritual barrier, the Chang Gung Association must earn a real ranking to be rewarded. According to According to the previous rules, Tongdao Peak will provide prizes at each Chang Gung Festival, and the top ten will receive varying amounts of spiritual stones and elixir, and the top three will have some special rewards."

Zi Lan showed regret, and said, "You can only participate if you have not formed an alchemy... Originally, I heard that the No. 1 prize this time is a spirit beast, so I want to challenge it and win it."

When Guan Jingxuan heard this, he immediately became interested: "Spiritual beast?"

Zi Lan said: "Well, it is said that it is still a rare spirit beast."

Guan Jingxuan asked in surprise: "Is the Yuan Shu Shangzun so generous this year?"

Shen Ziliu interjected, "Does Master want it?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "For cultivators, precious spirit beasts are naturally what everyone wants... But only monks who have not formed alchemy can participate in the Chang Gung Association, and there is no chance for them to be teachers."

Shen Ziliu rested his chin in one hand, looked at Guan Jingxuan with a half-smile and said, "Master, did he forget that the disciple happens to be a monk who is in the alchemy stage and has not yet formed an alchemy."

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment - he seemed to have really forgotten.

Shen Ziliu continued: "It's about these few days. Anyway, all the preparations before the disciple's alchemy are ready. It doesn't matter if you win the spirit beast back to Master after participating in Chang Geng's alchemy trial."

Guan Jingxuan was a little moved, and the corners of her lips could not help but rise, she reached out and nodded Shen Ziliu's eyebrows, and said: "Don't say that No. 1 is already in your pocket, there are people outside, it's too conceited Be careful of stumble."

Shen Ziliu grabbed Guan Jingxuan's hand and said with a smile: "Master is right, it must be a hard battle when you want to come here. Then when the disciple helps Master get back the spirit beast, what reward will Master have?"

This was Shen Ziliu's first time begging Guan Jingxuan for a reward, Guan Jingxuan said with some indulgence and pampering that he didn't realize, "What do you want?"

Shen Ziliu thought for a while, and said: "I still can't think of it for a while, or else the master will answer first, and wait until the disciple thinks about it?"

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said, "We'll talk about it after you get No.1."
