Retired shadow guard's guide to raising cubs

"..." Bai Yu sighed at Mu Jinnian's straightforwardness.

Of these two people, Bai Yu didn't want to leave, Mu Jinnian didn't let go, they dragged each other for a long time, it was because Zhang Yi was worried that Mu Jinnian's attack would not be serious enough to tear up his apprentice who hadn't entered the door, so he sent a message to Bai Yu, so they happily got together go to eat.

During the banquet, Mu Jinnian ate heartlessly, while Bai Yu was more cautious.

When Mo Ran saw it, he pulled Zhang Yi and found an excuse to "take care of the herbs" and went out.

Zhang Yi shook Mo Ran's hand in dissatisfaction: "Why do you pull me out? My apprentice hasn't seen enough yet."

"He's not your apprentice yet." Mo Ran reminded him helplessly, "Since you don't intend to force Bai Yu, then while he stays here, find a way to make him apprentice. After that, how long do you want to see? Can't stop you?"

Mentioning this matter, Zhang Yi was immediately discouraged: "He said he wants to serve his father, and he doesn't want to go with me."

Thinking that he was the number one pharmacist in Jiutian, and he was rejected for the first time taking the initiative to accept apprentices!He doesn't want to lose face!

"As the saying goes, if you don't travel far with your parents, you must travel well. You often live here, and it will take some time for Bai Yu's internal energy to transform into spiritual energy, which will not prevent him from serving his relatives. Moreover, mortal life is short, and his father You're getting old, even if you wait, it's only a dozen years, can't you afford to wait?"

Zhang Yi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

It's all his fault that he only focused on looking at his disciples, but he didn't expect these things.

Zhang Yixi smiled and said: "If this matter is accomplished, when Bai Yu formally apprentices, he must ask you to be a witness."

Ink dyeing should be done naturally.

On the other side, seeing that Mo Ran and Hua Peacock had left, Mu Jinnian rubbed the bowl to Bai Yu's side two or three times, and asked him, "Ayu, what's going on in the woods? Senior Hua and Yi want to take you as an apprentice. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why shouldn't you come down?"

Although he has the slander of "Flower Peacock Flower Peacock", but if he can get along with Mo Ran, Zhang Yi's character and ability will not be much worse, and he is a rare figure in Jiutian.

What's more, the road to cultivating immortals is extremely difficult, and one can only enter the door by oneself at an unknown time.

This kind of opportunity, no matter how many people abandon their homes, they can't get it, Bai Yu just refused it!

Mu Jinnian was puzzled.

Bai Yu smiled wryly: "Jin Nian doesn't know something. I am the only child in my family. My mother died young, and now I live with my father. My father also taught me this kung fu. My father accidentally caught a secret trick when fighting with others a few days ago. The body is not as good as before. How can I abandon him at this time."

"But......"

"Jinnian doesn't need to persuade me. Everyone has his own aspirations, but my aspirations are not here."

Bai Yu declined repeatedly, which aroused Mu Jinnian's stubborn temper.

Moreover, it is rare to meet a friend who is pleasing to the eye, and he does not want to be a young man in a hundred years, while his friends are already old.

Mu Jinnian shook his head violently, he couldn't stand just thinking about that scene.

Since he can't persuade you directly, then he can save the country in a curve: "Are you worried that you will leave your father behind after practicing? Then you don't have to worry. I heard from Mo Ran that Senior Yi has lived here for a long time. You If you become a teacher, you will definitely live in this small forest with Senior Yi, and you can go home whenever you want."

"Besides, your father is very old. Even if the panacea is provided, it will last for another four or fifty years at most. Senior Yi likes you so much, he definitely doesn't mind staying here for a while."

This is so blunt, it's almost like saying that your father will die soon.

Knowing that Mu Jinnian had no bad intentions, Bai Yu sighed: "Jinnian, no matter how good our relationship is, there are some things that shouldn't be said."

"Why? I'm not wrong."

Bai Yu, who has always been quite familiar with the world, met Mu Jinnian's dark and clear eyes that could see to the bottom, and for a moment didn't know what to say: "...Jinnian is right. Let me think again Think about it."

Bai Yu thought he still had time, but before he put down his chopsticks after eating, Mu Jinnian was dragged away by Mo Ran, and Zhang Yi called him away.

Shou Moran ordered the broadcast, Zhang Yi was confident this time, and he dispelled all Bai Yu's worries with a few words.

With Mu Jinnian's guidance at the front and Zhang Yi's promise at the back, Bai Yu is not indecisive. Since he has the best of both worlds, he agreed: "Bai Yu is favored by the immortal master, and I dare not disobey the immortal master's kindness. I would like to worship Enter the sect of the immortal master and serve the left and right."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Yi let out a long laugh, and no longer put on the noble and glamorous fairy master genealogy, and almost seamlessly transformed into a good master of 24 filial piety.

He leaned over and helped Bai Yu himself: "Go, find Mo Ran, and give you a teacher apprenticeship."

The face-changing speed was so fast that Bai Yu hesitated a little, whether he promised too quickly and fell into the trap of the thief by mistake.

Seeing Zhang Yi looking for him with a happy face and Bai Yu behind him, Mo Ran couldn't guess what happened.

It just so happened that Mu Jinnian's camouflage technique had come to an end. While packing his things, he said, "Jinnian, what I've taught you is enough for you to hide your identity while walking outside. If you don't specialize in this, it won't matter if you continue to learn it." How much benefit. Although your skills in moves are good, you are not flexible enough when dealing with the enemy. Bai Yu is temporarily staying here for a few days, you can compete with him."

Strong friendships are made.This first step, let's start with letting Bai Yu be Mu Jinnian's training partner.

In the main house, in the lobby.

Zhang Yiduan took the right seat, Mo Ran sat in the guest seat on his left, and Mu Jinnian stood behind Mo Ran.

Bai Yu put on a white robe, her long black hair tied high behind her head.He stood quietly in the middle of the lobby with his head bowed, his shoulders straight, like a handsome young man.

The more Zhang Yi watched, the more satisfied he was.He stood up and said with a smile: "Now I accept Bai Yu as an apprentice, and I will do my best to teach him the way of cultivating immortals. From then on, the master and the apprentice are united and share weal and woe. Bai Yu, would you like it?"

Bai Yu knelt down on both knees, opened his arms and raised them in front of his chest, put his palms together in a salute, then bent down, touched his forehead to the ground, kowtowed three times, and said, "Bai Yu is willing."

"Very good. Since you are under my sect, you must keep in mind that you must not engage in petty pursuits, and do not follow other ways. Only by keeping your heart will you get the right result."

Bai Yu kowtowed again: "Disciple remembers Master's teachings."

After the ceremony, Zhang Yi didn't want his apprentice to kneel again, walked over in two or three steps, helped Bai Yu with a smile, and pulled him to Mo Ran: "Come on, I've seen you, Uncle Mo."

Speaking of which, Bai Yu almost had a conflict with Mo Ran in the inn before.At that time, I only thought that this person was dangerous, and I must not approach him unless necessary.

How long has passed since the two not only met each other, but their relationship is far from comparable to that day.

Bai Yu was filled with emotion in his heart, and said more respectfully: "This junior has met Master Mo."

"You don't need to be too polite." Mo Ran glanced at Zhang Yi, who was standing next to Bai Yu, who was smiling very sincerely, shook his head amusedly, and took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago from the storage space: "This is a gift I got by chance. Spiritual sword, named 'Qingying'. I see your body is light and graceful, and this sword is the perfect match for you."

Before Bai Yu could make a sound, Zhang Yi urged him first: "Hurry up and accept it. It's rare to kill your Master Mo once."

When Mo Ran heard the words, he chuckled secretly: Is there not enough places to kill him as a friend?Not too bad this time.I thought that with an apprentice, I would be able to change my irresponsible temperament.Now it seems that Bai Yu will have to trouble Bai Yu to take care of this master.

Bai Yu didn't dare to neglect, and took the spirit sword with both hands.

Qingying's scabbard is silvery white, and the sword body is repeatedly forged from a thousand-year-old black stone.Holding Bai Yu in his hand, he felt the spirit sword trembling in its sheath along with Qingyue's sword cry.

Zhang Yi explained: "'Qingying' has a spirit, and it is a good thing that I would like to recognize you as the master. Thank you, Uncle Mo, soon."

"The junior thanked Master Mo."

............

The apprenticeship ceremony came to an end, and Mo Ran took Mu Jinnian away, giving the place to the freshly baked master and apprentice.

I didn't hear Mu Jinnian speak along the way, so Mo Ran looked at him strangely and asked, "Jinnian?"

After Mu Jinnian heard this, instead of stopping, he walked even faster, leaving only the back of Mo Ran's head.

Now, Mo Ran was sure that he was angry.

Speaking of which, since he promised to help him become stronger at the inn, has Jinnian become less and less particular in front of him?

When we first met, at least the manners on the surface were well thought out, but now I dare to lose my temper with myself...

He didn't feel that Mu Jinnian's daring to do this was the result of his indulgence.Mo Ran followed the young man unhurriedly, and followed him back to the hut where he stayed.

As soon as Mu Jinnian returned to his room, he wrapped himself in the quilt and made a rice dumpling, not even showing his head.

It was the same in the inn last time, what's wrong with wrapping yourself into a ball when you get angry?

Mo Ran sighed, and reached out to pull the quilt: "Jinnian, you haven't eaten the Yunling Pill today."

"..." Mu Jinnian kept silent and hid in the bed.

Mo Ran thought about it for a while, and Mu Jinnian's problem seemed to have started when Bai Yu was apprenticed to his teacher.

Mu Jinnian had persuaded Bai Yu to accept Zhang Yi's request before, so it was definitely not for apprenticeship.

Could it be...

He asked: "You also want a spirit sword? Although the 'Qingying' sword is good, it is light and agile, and it is not suitable for you."

Mu Jinnian lifted the quilt, sat up all of a sudden, and glared at the person beside the bed: "My young master has never seen such a treasure, it's just a spirit sword, my young master is not rare!"

Even the self-proclaimed "Young Master" came out, and it seemed that he was very angry.

Mo Ran looked at the boy calmly: "If you don't tell me, how can I know what you are thinking?"

Mu Jinnian was out of breath: "I, you!..." He turned his head fiercely, not wanting to look at Mo Ran.

No one spoke, the room became quiet, and only the boy's breathing could be heard in the silence.

He's not leaving, is he?

Mu Jinnian was startled and looked towards the door in panic.

When he raised his eyes, Mo Ran was still there, watching him quietly and peacefully.

The moment the four eyes met, the anger dissipated, and a little bit of grievance crept into his heart.

Mu Jinnian's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes to look at his hands clenched on the quilt: "You didn't even accept me as an apprentice."

Without waiting for Mo Ran to answer, the young man suddenly looked up at him accusingly, and there was a bit of crying in his raised voice: "You didn't accept me as an apprentice! How can I not be as good as Bai Yu? I have better background and talent than him, and I can't beat him now." He, but he will definitely be better than him in the future. You are willing to be Bai Yu's uncle, but you are not willing to be my master!"

After Mu Jinnian yelled, there was a deathly silence in the room.

Seeing that Mo Ran didn't respond, he panicked and regretted that he shouldn't have yelled at Mo Ran, but he didn't want to bow his head, so he sat there upright, blinking his eyes hard to keep the tears from streaming down.

It turned out that it was really for apprenticeship.

Just when Mu Jinnian was about to lose his hold, Mo Ran let out a long sigh, and went up to rub the boy's head: "I...it's not that I don't want to take you as an apprentice. It's just... Zhang Yi and I... we are different after all."

"What's the difference?" Mu Jinnian let Mo Ran's hand fall on his head, "You are better than him, better looking than him, and know a little more than him, what's the difference?"

Mo Ran carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of the young man's eyes: "You are still young, you will know when you grow up. I promised you that I will help you become stronger, and I will definitely help you. Until you don't need me, I will will be by your side.”

"Really?"

"Well, I swear."

Receiving another promise from Moran, Mu Jinnian hummed twice, and decided to let go of the apprenticeship for the time being.

"Now, it's time to eat Yunling Pill, I will protect the law for you." Mo Ran took out the porcelain bottle, took out a pill and handed it to Mu Jinnian.

Mu Jinnian swallowed the Yunling Pill, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.

Mo Ran also sat on the side, closing his eyes and resting his mind, but instead of absorbing the surrounding spiritual power to supplement the consumption of last night, he paid attention to the movement around him.

It was not until Mu Jinnian's spiritual power was about to run out that Mo Ran opened his eyes, looked at the boy silently for a while, then put his hand on the boy's back, carefully turning his pure spiritual power into a strand, and slowly crossed over.

Why not accept Mu Jinnian as a disciple?

I didn't plan to do that at first.

But it was because he couldn't bear the young man to die, so he brought him back to the hill.

Later, it was impossible to do so.

He is indeed different from Zhang Yi.

No matter how poor Zhang Yi was, he was also a direct descendant of the Zhang family, one of the three major families of Jiutian, with a prominent background.

And he, Mo Ran, is just a shadow guard.

Of course, with a cultivation level as high as his, his mental toughness cannot be crushed by just one identity.

He used to be a shadow guard, a sharp blade that cannot be seen. This is an unchangeable past. He will not feel inferior because of this, nor will he belittle himself.

However, he had destroyed countless families and his hands were stained with the blood of innocent people. This is also a crime he must admit, and it is the shackles he imposed on himself.

He is in shackles and full of sins, and he cannot and is not worthy to be a master of one person, to carry another person's entire life.

not to mention......

"...That's right. But the shadow guards are just weapons, they don't have emotions, they only know how to obey orders. It would be a waste of effort to save them..."

Mo Ran still remembered Mu Jinnian's words in his heart.

His identity is insignificant, and telling the young man about his past at this time will only become an obstacle in the way of the other party, and the gain outweighs the loss.

It's better to wait until all the dust settles.

Until then, just wait a little longer...

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Mu Jinnian: Why doesn't Mo Ran accept me as an apprentice?Am I not obedient and cute enough? ? ! !

Wei Yu: Do you want a master or a boyfriend?

Mu Jinnian: I want them all! !

Wei Yu: No, you are a child, so you can only choose one.
