Master's professionalism

The man's voice was obviously very gentle, but the appearance of standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back seemed a bit like no one should enter.

Hu Liting didn't go any closer, and stood at the door keeping a certain distance, saying, "We want to see the unicorn that Sun Cheng is talking about."

The man laughed when he heard the words: "Now that you have seen it, what do you think?"

"I think—" Hu Liting said, "I want to hear what your master plans next."

The man laughed again when he heard the words, and turned around. It was a kind-hearted middle-aged man with a majesty that cannot be ignored, but his smile gave off an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

The man waved to them, and Hu Liting bowed slightly to him before pulling Xue Xiaoyan over.

When the two approached, the man suddenly grabbed Hu Liting's hand, took out a handful of colorful candies from his pocket and put them in his hand.

Xue Xiaoyan: "???"

The man smiled and said, "It's a good thing for young people to be polite."

Hu Liting kept two candies in his hand, gave one to Xue Xiaoyan, and stuffed the rest into his pocket.Both peel the candy and listen to the man while they eat.

The man speaks in a calm manner, but he doesn't make people feel impatient: "I don't want to interfere with your human affairs, but there are always a few of them, and the things they do are too ugly. Since you have the courage to do it, you must Be prepared to bear the consequences."

Hu Liting sighed: "But you have been consumed for so long, and now you are powerless to resist."

"Yes." The man also sighed, "Otherwise I wouldn't let them make such a fuss."

Hu Liting said: "If possible, I hope you can stop, otherwise they won't stop, I have to do it, you don't want to see it either."

The man waved his hand and said, "You're going to let me stop like this, are you thinking too much?"

Hu Liting nodded: "I understand, but I hope Mr. Suqu will be returned, she is mine after all."

The man hummed: "Go out, it's outside the door." After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued to look out the window.

When the two exited the room, they saw Tian Zong hugging Su Qu at the door, and Su Yuan was squatting on the side, exuding an indescribable aura of being single.Xue Xiaoyan walked over and called Su Yuan, Su Yuan raised her head with a resentful expression: "Young Madam, do you want to feed me dog food too?"

Xue Xiaoyan: "..." It's not that I don't have one.

After returning to the foot of the mountain, Hu Liting talked to Xue Xiaoyan about the entanglement between the three of them. At first, Xue Xiaoyan thought it was the kind of bloody TV series in which sisters fell in love with the same man at the same time, but it was not the case.The two sisters, Su Qu and Su Yuan, had a good relationship when they practiced together when they were young. Later, Su Qu met Tian Zong. After the two were together, they sprinkled dog food every day, so that Su Yuan almost choked to death. Later, the two sisters followed Hu Liting. After that, being by his side for a long time, the couple had less time to see each other. Su Yuan thought that she would never have to eat dog food again—who knows that she actually has to eat double portions now.

Xue Xiaoyan lay on the bed with his eyes open and couldn't sleep, so he had to chat with Hu Liting: "They did so much to get revenge?"

Hu Liting was a little sleepy, and his voice was a little sticky: "It looks like, anyway, we can't do anything, if they fight together, maybe we will be treated as dishes."

"Don't sleep." Xue Xiaoyan pinched Hu Liting's face, "You said you couldn't beat him because of that gentleman? Who is he? Is it really Qilin?"

Hu Liting snorted a few times in dissatisfaction, turned over and was caught back again, with an extremely aggrieved tone: "How could it be—it's true that it's an auspicious beast."

Xue Xiaoyan kissed his face and asked, "What auspicious beast?"

Hu Liting reluctantly opened his eyes, and gently licked Xue Xiaoyan's neck. Xue Xiaoyan couldn't help humming, and then he gave the answer with satisfaction: "Lu Duan."

Luduan is a mythical beast in Chinese myths and legends, which is similar to Qilin, so it is no wonder that Sun Cheng got it wrong. It is recorded in the "Book of Songs" that Luduan travels thousands of miles a day and understands the language of the barbarians. When the emperor and sage are in power, he understands things far and wide, and he comes from the book.

Xue Xiaoyan was a little frustrated when he heard the words: "It's true that he can't beat him. Ruishou's words should be quite strong, and I don't know how many people Sun Cheng hired to lock him up."

"It wasn't an auspicious beast at first." Hu Liting said, "Lu Duan wasn't even called a divine beast in the early Han Dynasty. Gradually it became the legendary auspicious beast."

Xue Xiaoyan: "Does that mean it's not that powerful?"

"Fool." Hu Liting scratched Xue Xiaoyan's nose with his index finger, "Since it has been passed down as a myth, there is a blessing, even if it is not, after so many years of practice, do you think you are a vegetarian?"

Xue Xiaoyan murmured: "Then what are you going to do? It sounds like he wants you to show your sincerity or strength. Do you want to go and perform something for him—such as dancing a sword or something?"

"Dance your head." Hu Liting hugged him tightly, "Tomorrow I will go to rescue the soldiers."

Xue Xiaoyan also started to feel a little sleepy, and her voice was soft: "Why do you have to call in rescuers every time? At first, I really thought you were a senior brother based on your face."

"I'm—" Hu Liting fell asleep halfway through speaking, Xue Xiaoyan stopped bothering him, and fell asleep together with his eyes closed.

The next day, or after dawn.

Xue Xiaoyan was woken up by the sound of ping-pong-pong, and when he got up from the bed, he saw Hu Liting knelt on the ground on one knee and fiddled with the things he had brought.

Xue Xiaoyan got into bed and poked her head out from the end of the bed, and asked lazily, "Why did you bring so much cinnabar out?"

Hu Liting didn't raise his head: "What can I do, either draw symbols or draw arrays."

Xue Xiaoyan asked suspiciously, "Then why are you taking so many magic weapons?"

"As a medium." Hu Liting said, "I haven't used this for a long time. I don't know if I might make a mistake. It's reliable to throw something away."

Xue Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Your words sound like throwing coins at the Wishing Pool."

"Almost." Hu Liting sighed, picked up a pen and began to draw talismans on the ground.

"Just draw it like this?" Xue Xiaoyan said, "Do you want to clean it yourself later?"

Hu Liting shook his head: "Let the sky wash it, and if he doesn't wash it, his wife will be arrested."

Xue Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Are you going to step on the road of crime?"

Hu Liting let out a "huh", and scratched his arm with two fingers together, a long and thin wound appeared on his fair skin immediately, and the bright red blood flowed down, and when it landed on the ground, it stained the carpet red.Xue Xiaoyan was startled when she saw this, she fell off the bed and grabbed Hu Liting's hand, angrily said: "Are you crazy! You are going to commit suicide before you do it, right?!"

"Oh, this little blood can make Yan'er so nervous." Hu Liting pulled out his hand with a playful smile, and flicked his two fingers on the wound, and the bleeding stopped. He dipped his own blood on the wound with his index finger. He wrote his surname on the ground, and waited aside without speaking after finishing writing.

Xue Xiaoyan squatted beside him curiously and waited together for a while, but this time there was no smoke rising like before. He wondered: "You failed? What are you calling for?"

Hu Liting also showed a puzzled expression: "When did I say I was calling for something?"

"Then you..." Xue Xiaoyan pointed to the ground.

Hu Liting said with a bitter face: "No, this effect is actually closer to inviting a charm—but the signal is not very good."

Xue Xiaoyan: "???" Signal?

"What's the bad signal? You obviously made a mistake again." A man's voice suddenly sounded from behind them, making Xue Xiaoyan jump up in fright.

The person who spoke was a man who looked past his age, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his phoenix eyes were bent into crescent moons, but he didn't look kind, but had a kind of seductive charm, and the familiarity between his brows reminded him of him. The first time I met Hu Liting in Xiaoting half a year ago.

Seeing Xue Xiaoyan's dazed look, Hu Liting pulled him into his arms, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you frighten your granddaughter-in-law, your grandson will die alone in the future."

He only reacted when he heard his grandson Xue Xiaoyan, and found that his behavior of staring at people was really impolite, his ears were red, he pursed his mouth and lowered his head and called softly "Mr. Hu".

Grandpa Hu looked around Xue Xiaoyan, nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's my grandson. His vision of seeing people is inherited from his family." After he finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it to Xue Xiaoyan, "My name is Hu Zhou, I'm barely close friends with your master, it's not wrong to call me Mr.—but it's too strange, from now on, you can call me Grandpa with Tingting."

Xue Xiaoyan: "..." There are so many things to complain about that I don't know where to start.

Hu Liting said with a distressed face: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Tingting—"

Hu Zhou smiled, pretending not to hear, and said, "Why did you call me here this time? You didn't come to pay my respects to my early years."

"If you give me a red envelope, I will worship it." Hu Liting said, "This time I mainly want to tell you something interesting, I remember he is quite familiar with you—"

Hu Liting briefly told Hu Zhou about Sun Cheng's matter this time, and also expressed Lu Duan's attitude. At first, Hu Zhou was not interested when he heard Lu Duan's name, but he hesitated for a long time after hearing what happened later. It was only later that Xue Xiaoyan asked Hu Liting why Hu Zhou was so entangled, and Hu Liting told him: "The fear of trouble is inherited from my family."

After finishing speaking, Hu Zhou said that he would go to Luduan to have a talk first, and then slipped away after a puff of smoke, leaving Hu Liting alone to face Xue Xiaoyan who was full of doubts.

Seeing Xue Xiaoyan's tangled expression, Hu Liting couldn't help sighing, took him to the bed and sat down, and said, "Ask whatever you want."

Xue Xiaoyan nodded when she heard the words, thought for a while, and asked, "Your grandpa is still alive?"

Hu Liting said "Ah?" and said, "He's always been there—otherwise you think who gave me the magic weapon."

Xue Xiaoyan: "I thought it was a relic... Why did you throw you to the master? I remember you said that you were raised by the master when you were four years old?"

Hu Liting sighed again: "He's tired of raising..."

Xue Xiaoyan: "???" Tired? ?

"Then..." Xue Xiaoyan hesitated, "Are your parents still there?"

"Yes." Hu Liting said, "Yan'er, have you misunderstood something? I have both parents and I am in good health. I don't need you to take care of the elderly. I am the only child in my family, and I don't need to support my younger siblings."

Xue Xiaoyan: "..." Then why did you grow up with the master?

Hu Liting propped his cheeks, with a helpless expression on his face: "When you see my mother in the future, you will understand why I follow the master, and then you will also understand that you don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"I have nothing to worry about." Xue Xiaoyan said, "What I'm more worried about is that I haven't figured out whether you are human or..."

"Is there something to do with it? I still have to marry." Hu Liting said, "My grandma and my father are both human beings, and I am basically a human being rounded up according to the proportion."

Xue Xiaoyan patted Hu Liting amusedly: "Can bloodlines be rounded up? Then grandpa is a fox?"

Hu Liting nodded: "The "Shan Hai Jing" says that there is a beast on the mountain of Qingqiu, which looks like a fox with nine tails, and its voice is like a baby. It can eat people, and the eater is not a poison. It is Grandpa."

Xue Xiaoyan groaned, thought about it, and felt wrong again, and said: "Grandpa is not a human being, grandma is a human being, but your father was a human being who gave birth to you?"

Hu Liting was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said: "I follow my mother's surname, and both sides are called grandpa. The one just now is my grandpa on my mother's side."

Xue Xiaoyan nodded: "Then what does your father do?"

"You're checking your household registration." Hu Liting took Xue Xiaoyan's hand, "Don't worry, my family background is clean, and my father also does this."

"Which one?"

"Master."

Xue Xiaoyan: "..." This family is either superstitious or superstition itself.
