I don't want to be a heroic spirit

What kind of cruel special training could make Ara Taki Ichito look so hopeless about life?

Wu Lang didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to ask.

Anyway, the master would definitely not let anything happen to Aratake Ichito, so he should not make things difficult for himself.

"Have you showered yet? If you have, go to the main hall. It's time for breakfast. After breakfast and a rest, you can start today's training."

"I've already washed up."

Goro responded, and just as he was about to leave, he took another look at Arataki Ichito's bleak back.

"Um... isn't Senior Brother going with us? To have breakfast or something..."

"Oh, him." Gui Yifayan was stunned for a moment, then walked away without looking back. He simply said, "It's okay. He had a full meal last night, so he probably doesn't have the appetite for breakfast. Besides, today's breakfast was prepared by Sara. Sara is still angry, so he probably won't prepare breakfast for Yidou... Just leave him here."

Watching Gui Yi Fa Yan's back gradually going away and then disappearing around a corner, Goro turned around and glanced at Arawaki Ichido. Seeing that the other party still had no reaction, he couldn't help but shudder, then ran away in small steps after Gui Yi Fa Yan.

While enjoying breakfast, Gui Yifayan keenly noticed that Sara was in a bad mood, so after the meal, he took the initiative to find Sara.

"Are you still upset about what happened last night?"

"master……"

Seeing that his thoughts were instantly seen through by Gui Yifa Yan, Sara just pursed his lips.

"Are you frustrated because you couldn't catch Yidou last night? After all, speed is one of your strengths." Gui Yi Fa Yan said calmly, "Does the progress Yidou has shown give you a sense of urgency?"

Although you are making slow progress, when someone you have always looked down upon progresses faster than you, or even surpasses you... it is impossible not to be anxious.

Because this world is full of competition. If others make more progress than you, then you are equivalent to regressing.

After some mental struggle, Sara suddenly spoke.

"Master, I..."

"You want to train with Yidou and the others, thinking that this way you won't be surpassed, right?"

After all, Sara was still young, and to Gui Yi Fa Yan, it was as obvious as if all Sara's thoughts were written on his face.

"Alas..." Gui Yifayan sighed softly, "Why are you doing this? You and Yidou have completely different training directions. We've already made arrangements."

"Your current training focuses on controlling elemental power. If you train with Yidou and the others, your efficiency will be somewhat reduced... Also, although I didn't see what happened before, when I arrived, didn't you catch up with Yidou by using elemental power? If I hadn't intervened, Yidou wouldn't have been able to gain any advantage, right?"

"You are also making progress, but in different areas than Yidou and the others."

"You're getting a bit carried away, Sara."

Sara lowered his head and remained silent. It was unknown whether he had heard what Gui Yifayan said.

I hope she can listen to me... otherwise Gui Yifayan won't have any good solution.

She wasn't very good at speaking when she was in school and was basically a social loser. Now that she has become a ghost, it is even more difficult for her to understand human psychology and thoughts, let alone enlighten them.

"...You should go back and think it over carefully." Gui Yi Fa Yan said helplessly, "If after careful consideration, your mind still remains unchanged... we will arrange for you to train with Yidou and the others."

Having said this, Gui Yi Fa Yan said no more, turned around and left, leaving Sara standing there silently.

So, the matter came to an end... or rather, it came to an end temporarily.

Among Gui Yi Fa Yan's three disciples, Sara was the most intelligent one.

So, when she got into a dead end, she was also the most troublesome one.

I hope she can figure it out on her own...

“Comforting and guiding people is so tiring…”

She had been the worst at this kind of thing since a very early age.

When she was in school, one day, a female classmate who had a good relationship with her cried for some reason, and cried very sadly.

Many people, including her, gathered around the girl, trying to comfort her and make her feel better.

Some people handed out tissues, some said “Don’t cry, don’t cry”… Everyone seemed to be doing what they could.

Only she... just stayed beside the girl, silent, and listened to the girl's complaints while crying.

Later the teacher also came... Maybe it was because she was the only boy among a group of girls, and she kept kneeling on one knee, so the teacher said she looked like a knight.

What kind of knight is this... Apart from staying by someone's side and quietly listening to their venting words, has she ever done anything else?

The knight could kill the dragon for the princess and bring the princess to the prince...but what did she do?

"..."

When he came to the yard, Gui Yifa began to look at the clouds.

I am such a weirdo... I am obviously afraid of loneliness and I long for someone to like me, but sometimes... I can calm down in loneliness like now and enjoy the feeling of being alone.

"I don't seem to be as carefree as I thought."

Chapter 162 The Possibility of Teaching Yin-Yang Magic

On this day, Gui Yi Fa Yan and his youngest disciple Wu Lang were sitting face to face with each other.

This time, it was Wulang who took the initiative to find Gui Yi Fa Yan, and when he told him the reason, Gui Yi Fa Yan was a little surprised.

"You want to learn the spell of cleansing?"

"Yes!"

Goro explained that ever since the last time Guiyi Hōgan used the cleansing technique and made Goro clean all of a sudden, Goro has been obsessed with this incident.

"It's because of my tail... Whether it's stained with dust and dirt, or gets wet when I wash it, it's so uncomfortable... Every time I have to spend a lot of time drying and smoothing it." Goro frowned and hugged his tail. "It takes at least two or three hours to fully style it... It's a waste of time and energy normally, and if I really go to the battlefield in the future, it will be a big problem."

As for the art of war, Goro has also begun to learn it... Although he started much later than Sara, Goro has also shown a talent in this area that is not inferior to Sara.

With the guidance of Gui Yi Fa Yan and the care of his senior sister Sara, Goro learns faster than Sara did before.

Except when facing Aratake Ichito, Sara is very gentle and generous to his own people and is easy to get along with.

Because he studies military tactics, Goro occasionally thinks about things related to the battlefield... This is probably equivalent to when a chef encounters unfamiliar ingredients, he will think about whether it tastes good or how to cook it so that others will find it delicious; when a writer encounters trivial things in life, he will think about whether it can be written into a novel or how to write it so that readers will find it interesting.

Maybe it's just inertial thinking or something like that?

"So... can I learn magic from you, Master?"

Wu Lang did not avoid the gaze, but looked straight into Gui Yifayan's eyes seriously.

It can be seen that Goro is serious.

Gui Yifayan liked this look very much. It made her feel as if she was looking at a piece of unpolished jade.

Scathach once told Gui Yifayan that she loved watching talented people transform their talents into real abilities step by step under her guidance, and watching them become heroes.

Gui Yi Fa Yan also enjoyed this process.

But the question is...can the other party really learn it?

After all, the magic she used came from another world, and she was not sure whether Goro in this world could learn such magic.

Even a small spell like cleansing the body which is basically not difficult.

But later, Gui Yi Fa Yan remembered... There are Yin and Yang magic and Yin and Yang masters in this world.

After all, they had just seen one not long ago. In that sealed space, Qianhua's father had used the Five Elements Spell in Yin-Yang magic.

And that sealed space is also a product of Yin-Yang magic.

Gui Yi Fa Yan had also conducted an analysis, and although there were slight differences from the techniques she mastered, they were generally the same.

"Well... well, it just so happens that we have a few questions we want to try."

Goro was very happy that his request was granted, but Guiyi Fayan spoke again at this time.

"Oh, by the way, let me start with the ugly part... I'll teach you the spell to cleanse your body, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to learn it, so don't get your hopes up."

"Yes, Master."

That’s enough. As long as the master is willing to teach, Goro will be very satisfied.

As for not being able to teach... Goro wouldn't be surprised.

After all, everything depends on talent. Although he is looking forward to it, if he finds that it is impossible after trying, he will not force it... but there will definitely be disappointment.

Seeing that Wulang was mentally prepared for failure, Guiyi Fayan nodded with satisfaction.

She also wanted to try and see if she could teach the Yin-Yang magic she mastered to other people in this world.

Of course, there is definitely a need for some improvement... Not only are the rules of the two worlds different, but Guiyi Fayan relies on magic power to use spells, while Goro and other people in this world use elemental power.

To make your own magic applicable to elemental forces...it's probably like converting a gasoline car into an electric one?

If I had to rely on my own exploration, it would definitely be very troublesome. Fortunately, Guiyi Fayan has a finished product that I can refer to, which is the technique used by Qianhua's father before.

At that time, the entire sealed space was analyzed, and the complete techniques were memorized in Gui Yi Fa Yan's head. All he had to do next was compare them, which saved him a lot of effort.

Just as Gui Yifayan was thinking, a rhythmic knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

When Sara opened the door and came in, his eyes immediately met the two people in the room.

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you, Master? Did I affect your thinking?"

"Ah, it's not that I'm bothering you. The remaining problems can't be solved by simple thinking. We can only improve them bit by bit through experimentation... So, is there something wrong, Sara?"

"No, it's because...it's time, Master."

Gui Yifayan blinked, then realized what Sara meant by "it's time".

"Oh... is it that time again?"

It’s time for Gui Yifayan to tell a story to his disciples.

Sara has never left this forest in her life, and Goro and Arataki Ichito are only slightly better than her.

In order to broaden their horizons and let them learn about new things, Gui Yi Fa Yan planned to tell them some stories occasionally.

Of course, it couldn't be a childish story like "Peppa Pig". Although Sara and his friends were still children, they had experienced much more than other children of the same age, and their basic sense of right and wrong had already been formed.

She is not one of those pedantic parents who would report a certain animation because it would make people fall in love early or because it has violent elements or is too bloody.

She felt that she had learned a lot of useful things from cartoons in the past, so she had this idea that if she had children in the future, she would let them watch more of these educational stories or cartoons.

Of course, although most of the stories she told Sha Luo and the others came from the cartoons or legends she had watched before, they had to be modified, at least to adapt to the local culture.

Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of energy explaining what Ultraman is, which would be too stupid.

"By the way, where's Yidou?"

Seeing that Sara came alone, Gui Yifayan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

In response to this, Sara explained that "Yidu went back to the ghost woman because of some things."

"is it?"

Gui Yifayan didn't feel anything about this. One less person is one less person.

"Well, it'll be just the two of you listening to the story this time... The magic training will wait until after the story."

The second half of the sentence was naturally said by Gui Yi Fa Yan to Wu Lang, and Wu Lang naturally had no objection.

Then... Gui Yi Fa Yan began to worry about what story to tell.

"Well... today, let's talk about monster stories. Since Yidou is not here, let's talk about stories related to the ghost clan."

Chapter 163 The Story of the Ghost Clan (12/31)

When they heard that it was a story about the demon clan, Sara and Goro immediately showed expectant looks.

After all, the Aratake Ichido they were familiar with was a demon.

Moreover, since it is a story told by Gui Yi Fa Yan... maybe the ghosts in the story are real people, or acquaintances of Gui Yi Fa Yan.

Her disciples didn't know much about Gui Yi Fa Yan's interpersonal relationships, but they all knew that their master was a great monster over a thousand years old and must know many people.

The person that Gui Yi Fa Yan mentioned most often in their ears was naturally Janakuru Ushiwakamaru. Whether it was Sara, Goro or Arataki Ichito, they had all heard their master talk about him more than once.

Then, occasionally, he would learn about other characters from Guiyi Hōgen... For example, the last time, Sara heard the name "Saigyoji Yuyuko".

Sara and Goro were very much looking forward to the story that Guiyi Fayan would tell next, but Guiyi Fayan suddenly became troubled.

Speaking of the demon clan... the first people that Guiyi Hōgan thought of were naturally Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, who were both legendary great demons like her.

However, she suddenly discovered that the stories of these two existences did not seem suitable to be told.
