What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Lu Mian knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to Lin Zhuo: "Master, please bow to me as a disciple."

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Lin Zhuo thought that Lu Mian would give the opportunity to Su Ziqi, but he was overthinking it, so he felt that Lu Mian could still be saved.

Lin Zhuo lifted Lu Mian up from the ground and hung his belt on Lu Mian's belt: "From now on, you will be my disciple, Hai Qing."

"Thank you, Master." Lu Mian cupped his fists.

After accepting his apprentice, Lin Zhuo pulled Lu Mian over and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Taixu again.

"Xiao Qing, why don't you accept a few more? There are only two of you. How deserted is your medicine mountain?"

Lin Zhuo turned back to look at his master sitting in a high position, seriously feeling that he must have been a salesman in his previous life.

"No, one disciple is enough. I can't bring more than one." Lin Zhuo refused. He didn't know how to bring one of them, so he wanted to bring a few more.

Upon hearing Taixu's words, many disciples' eyes lit up and they all stared at Lin Zhuo. After all, who doesn't want to be accepted into the disciples of Venerable Hai Qing? After listening to Lin Zhuo's words, he became depressed again. He only accepted one apprentice.

Many people cast jealous glances at Lu Mian. This guy is really lucky.

Su Ziqi was the one who couldn't accept it the most. When he heard what Venerable Taixu said, he thought Lin Zhuo would accept him smoothly, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhuo would pick Lu Mian away without even looking at him.

Why should Lu Mian do this?

Su Ziqi now regrets that she rescued Lu Mian at that time. She should have followed her master and rescued Lu Mian honestly and according to the development of her previous life.

He didn't expect that his unintentional move would cause him to miss the opportunity to be accepted by his master as his disciple.

"What about me?" Su Ziqi still had hope, hoping that Lin Zhuo could accept her.

"I'm not good at using swords, you should choose a master that suits you better." Lin Zhuo said and left with Lu Mian.

Su Ziqi's eyes turned red, she bit her lips, and looked at the two people's backs as they left: How could there be someone more suitable for me than you!

At this point, Taixu could only sigh. His little apprentice really didn't like the excitement, so forget it, let's leave it at that. At least he accepted one.

Taixu coughed twice and said to Su Ziqi: "Xiao Qing has his own ideas. You should choose the one that suits you better."

Cang Yunze straightened his back silently, but the sword cultivator who originally competed with him no longer wanted to compete with him.

If he is not Su Ziqi's favorite candidate, what will he do if he accepts him? I'm afraid his thoughts are not on him at all.

So the sword cultivator silently lowered his presence. Finally, he glanced at Cang Yunze, poor guy.

Even if he didn't do this, Su Ziqi wouldn't choose him.

Finally, Su Ziqi became a disciple of Cang Yunze.

Because it seemed that Cang Yunze and Lin Zhuo had a good relationship, and the two mountains were close to each other, Su Ziqi thought that he still had a chance to get close to Lin Zhuo, so he chose Cang Yunze.

Cang Yunze was a fool outside of sword training, so he didn't care that Su Ziqi originally wanted to choose Lin Zhuo. He thought it would be fine as long as this good swordsman was not buried.

On the contrary, in his opinion, his junior brother was so good that Su Ziqi should choose him.

Now that he has picked up a good prospect like Su Ziqi, Cang Yunze is still thanking Lin Zhuo in his heart: Junior brother really keeps his word, if he says he won't fight with me, he won't fight with me!

Cang Yunze was already thinking about what kind of thank you gift to give Lin Zhuo.

......

Lin Zhuo took Lu Mian back to his medicine mountain.

Lin Zhuo lived halfway up the mountain. He would take a walk on the mountain when he had nothing to do, just to exercise himself. So when he brought Lu Mian back, he didn't directly return to his residence with his sword. He just found a suitable place to put down himself and Lu Mian.

Lin Zhuo walked slowly halfway up the mountain, and Lu Mian followed behind him without saying a word.

"Is your spiritual weapon that silk thread?"

Lin Zhuo suddenly spoke to Lu Mian, shocking the latter.

"Yes." Lu Mian replied. He thought that Lin Zhuo accepted him just to deal with Lord Taixu, but he never thought that he would take the initiative to talk to him.

"My surname is Lin, and my given name is Zhuo. People outside usually call me Haiqing. Relax, I'm not that scary."

Lin Zhuo smiled at Lu Mian and his tone was very gentle, which made Lu Mian blush unknowingly.

"I, I am Lu Mian, a casual cultivator." Lu Mian felt embarrassed after saying this. Lin Zhuo should all know why he had to say it again!

"Don't you have any relatives?" Lin Zhuo didn't know much about Lu Mian's situation.

When talking about relatives, Lu Mian looked a little sad: "No, I was removed from the family. They said I was a bad sign."

Lin Zhuo didn't expect this, but after hearing it, he felt that it was understandable. After all, he was the male protagonist's official wife, and it was normal for him to have a miserable life experience.

Lin Zhuo reached out and rubbed Lu Mian's head: "I don't want to forget the past. Master apologizes to you for bringing up your sadness. We will be a family from now on."

Lu Mian immediately hugged Lin Zhuo's waist with tears in her eyes and nodded while crying.

Lin Zhuo patted his back and said to 0617 in his heart: "Poor cub, he's so cute."

"Host, didn't you say you don't want to raise children?" Although this was not the first time that 0617 heard Lin Zhuo go back on his word.

"Tsk, who wants to raise a kid like Su Ziqi? Lu Mian is so nice, he's sweet and soft, but he has a bad outlook on love. He needs to be corrected."

Lin Zhuo said to himself, pinching Lu Mian's soft cheek with his hand, sighing in his heart that it felt so good!

Lu Mian's face was soft and looked like he had some baby fat. He also looked very young. When Lin Zhuo pinched his face, he still smiled stupidly, which made Lin Zhuo overflowing with love for a moment.

Lin Zhuo hugged Lu Mian's head: Good boy, I have to find you a lover!

Qi Zhixing, who was hiding in the dark to observe the two of them, silently made a few impressions on his palm.

He would never admit that he was jealous of the kid held in Lin Zhuo's arms.

He seems to like this apprentice very much? Well, I can force myself to be nice to him.

Originally, because Lu Mian and Su Ziqi were too close, Qi Zhixing thought that Lu Mian had bad intentions, but since Lin Zhuo accepted Lu Mian as his disciple, he could reluctantly let him go.

On the other hand, Qi Zhixing was a little anxious. How should he talk to Xiao Zhuo?

Lin Zhuo felt something in his heart and glanced towards where Qi Zhixing was standing, but found nothing.

I clearly felt that there was someone there just now, but did I feel wrong again?

On his own territory, Lin Zhuo didn't think much and took Lu Mian back to his residence halfway up the mountain and placed him in the yard next to his own.

"What I teach is not fixed. You can learn by watching, and there is no rush. We still have a lot of time." Lin Zhuo told Lu Mian that he still believed in Lu Mian's talent.

Lu Mian nodded, looking at Lin Zhuo's leaving figure in trance: Master is so gentle, he likes Master so much!

This thought reminded Lu Mian of Su Ziqi.

Then Lu Mian looked strange: That guy Su Ziqi, does he like the master? Is he worthy? ! Something with ulterior motives!

Lu Mian felt that he had guessed the truth, otherwise how could Su Ziqi not only follow Lin Zhuo but also want to attract Lin Zhuo's attention.

Lu Mian secretly swore in his heart that he would never give Su Ziqi a single chance to get close to Lin Zhuo.

......

"What on earth do you want to see me for?" Lu Mian's tone was impatient. He was still holding the condiments from the sect's back kitchen in his hand.

Lu Mian looked at Su Ziqi who was blocking his way and frowned.

In the past few months, Su Ziqi had visited him several times, each time wanting to find out about Lin Zhuo. Because Lin Zhuo didn't like to go out, he didn't even leave the medicine mountain once in the months after the disciple selection.

He didn't go out, so Su Ziqi had no excuse to go to the medicine mountain. Cang Yunze kept a close eye on him every day. Cang Yunze really didn't want to let a good seedling fall into his hands, so he guided Su Ziqi very carefully.

But Su Ziqi spent most of the day wandering around in the world, which made Cang Yunze feel that his mind was not on cultivation at all, so he became even stricter with him.

Su Ziqi was a little miserable. He didn't need to cultivate his spirit. He had reversed his demonic energy. The magic book he cultivated was now in the sixth level of demonic transformation. It was just for Lin Zhuo that he pretended to be a human cultivator.

On weekdays, he also asked Cang Yunze for information about Lin Zhuo, but Cang Yunze dismissed him, which made Su Ziqi very depressed.

Why do you feel like everyone is blocking you from meeting your master?

As a last resort, Su Ziqi had no choice but to find Lu Mian, who was accepted as a disciple by Lin Zhuo. However, Su Ziqi found that the other party's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot.

In the past, Lu Mian always looked at him with admiration and admiration, but now he looked at him mostly with disgust, as if he was some kind of virus and if he said a few words to him, he would be infected; and from the look on his face, the other party didn't want to talk to him.

At first, when Su Ziqi asked Lu Mian to ask for help, Lu Mian would nod and say yes, and then tell Su Ziqi some insignificant news, but this was of little help to Su Ziqi.

Over time, Su Ziqi also realized that Lu Mian seemed to be perfunctory with him.

but why?

Su Ziqi thought that he didn't do anything excessive to Lu Mian and even saved his life. Why was Lu Mian suddenly so hostile to him?

"I, I just want to ask Master if he is okay?" Su Ziqi said.

His words almost made Lu Mian laugh angrily. Lu Mian resisted rolling her eyes and asked Su Ziqi with a sneer: "I think no one knows Elder Cang better than you, right?"

Don't think that he doesn't know what Su Ziqi is thinking.

Stay away from Master, you bitch!

"No, I'm talking about Venerable Haiqing, can you help me ask him what his impression of me is."

Lu Mian was speechless and even wanted to sprinkle the peppercorns he had just brought from the kitchen on Su Ziqi's head: Am I a very cheap person? I have to do it if you want me to? What a beautiful thought!

"You want to know what my master thinks of you so much, why don't you ask him yourself." After Lu Mian finished speaking, he bumped Su Ziqi away with his shoulder: "Rang Rang, I have something else to do."

Don't delay me from going back to cook for Master.

Su Ziqi stared at Lu Mian's merciless back with dark eyes and clenched her fists.

Ever since Lin Zhuo discovered that Lu Mian was extremely talented in cooking, Lu Mian took care of all the meals for the two of them.

Lu Mian didn't understand it at first, because he thought cultivators should pay more attention to cultivation, so how could they prefer food and drink?

But after being led by Lin Zhuo to eat it several times, Lu Mian couldn't help but shed tears: It tastes so good! It's him who is narrow-minded!

"Eat more. It's good for you to eat more of the spiritual plants that are rich in spiritual energy." Lin Zhuo always brought vegetables to Lu Mian.

Lin Zhuo felt that Lu Mian was still too thin and needed more support.

Lu Mian felt that he could not always let Lin Zhuo worry about him, so he took care of all the meals.

His skills were indeed much better than Lin Zhuo's, which made Lin Zhuo lie down forever.

For this reason, Qi Zhixing secretly felt very uncomfortable. Even though he knew how to cook, he was sure he could do it better than Lu Mian, but he couldn't find a chance.

Every time Qi Zhixing saw Lin Zhuo lying alone in the yard, he wanted to go out and talk to him, but he couldn't take the step every time.

His voyeuristic appearance was really disgraceful.

Lin Zhuo didn't know what he was thinking, but he was very puzzled. He had obviously noticed his lover's aura several times, and this guy even secretly put some food for him, but in the end he just didn't want to appear in front of him. .

how? Is he disfigured?

Lin Zhuo sat cross-legged on the green vine with his chest crossed and sulking. It was the same today. He almost figured out the approximate location of his lover, but his breath suddenly disappeared again.

It's so funny, you won't give me a chance, right?

Lin Zhuo was still depressed when he saw Lu Mian coming back with an angry look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhuo tilted his head, who messed with him?

"It's nothing, I saw an eyesore." Lu Mian took out a spiritual fruit from his arms and said to Lin Zhuo: "Master, please give me a cushion first, I'll go cook now."

"Ah? Oh, okay, you go ahead." Lin Zhuo looked at Lu Mian's back while holding the fruit in his mouth: "Xiao Qi, who did you think provoked him?"

"I feel 0617%, it's the male lead." said.

"Su Ziqi? It's better to be dissatisfied, lest Lu Mian fall in love." Lin Zhuo nodded and gave Lu Mian a thumbs up behind his back: If you do a good job, you can't follow Su Ziqi's wishes.

......

Cang Yunze watched as Su Ziqi swung his sword without any sloppiness. The sword light passed by and the stakes made of special materials shattered. He couldn't help but nodded.

He knew that Su Ziqi was a good prospect.

Su Ziqi's face was gloomy with his back to Cang Yunze. He didn't expect Lu Mian to dare to talk to him like this. Su Ziqi raised his hand and swung it down neatly, chopping up the falling leaves.

It seemed that saving him was unnecessary. In that case, it was right for Lu Mian to return his life to him, right?

Su Ziqi's pupils began to turn faintly red.

......

"Host, what are you doing?" 0617 turned his head, not daring to look at Lin Zhuo who was soaking in the hot spring.

Lin Zhuo's cheeks were reddish, his eyes were blurry, and he was naked in the water. When he heard 0617's words, he opened his eyes slightly and poured water on himself with his hands: "Take a bath? Can't you see?"

"Of course I know! I mean why are you taking such a pose when you take a bath?"

0617 complained in his mind: My eyes are almost scratched, are you seriously taking a bath?

"What do you know? I'm fishing in Jiang Taigong, please take care of me." Lin Zhuo poured warm water on his face with his hand, and the water droplets slid down his cheeks and dripped on his chest.

Lin Zhuo closed his eyes and felt the breath nearby, and suddenly curled up his lips and smiled, finding you.

He turned around and lowered his body half a minute. His hand was still teasing the warm water, and water droplets kept rolling down his face. The hazy water vapor made him feel as if he was holding a pipa and half covering his face.

For some reason, in this atmosphere, Qi Zhixing sighed that he could still clearly see the red mole on Lin Zhuo's eyelids.

Qi Zhixing couldn't help but his throat rolled. Although it was a bit perverted, he really wanted to get up and lick it, and preferably even kiss it.

Qi Zhixing knew in his heart that he should not continue to peek at each other, but his feet were like roots, unable to move an inch.

After coming back to his senses, Qi Zhixing found that there was no one in the hot spring. When he was about to follow Lin Zhuo's breath to look for it, he was grabbed tightly by the neck.

The other person chuckled behind him: "Have you seen enough?"
