I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Master Yuan Feng had never been so close and gentle to anyone in the past few decades, and he always had a cold face.

She never had a good face towards anyone, and I've never heard of her accepting any apprentices. What happened to her now? The contrast is too great.

The young disciple rubbed his eyes, ah, his eyesight was not blurry.

After Yuanchu finished speaking, he walked straight to the Elders' Hall.

Gu Xi saw that this senior brother just stood there blankly without any reaction. So he reminded him, "This senior brother?"

The disciple came back to his senses, "Oh, sorry young lady, I was distracted."

"Girl, come with me. I will take you to the residence of Uncle Yuan of Qingqi Peak."

Halfway through the journey, the disciple couldn't help but gossip, "Excuse me, are you the new disciple that Master Yuan accepted when he came down the mountain a few days ago?"

"Well, it is."

"That girl must have some outstanding qualities. She is the first disciple that Uncle Yuan has accepted in over a hundred years. You know, becoming the chief disciple of the Peak Master means inheriting his legacy."

The disciple's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Xi, and they were full of admiration and curiosity.

"Is that really the case?" Gu Xi was distracted for a moment.

She actually wanted to train herself to be her successor. Gu Xi found this too unbelievable.

I have only been her disciple for a few days, and she also said that she has not yet gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, so I can only be recorded as a nominal disciple for now.

"Well, yes, our sect has always been like this," the disciple affirmed.

"OK, it's right in front. I'll take you there."

"Thank you, senior brother." Gu Xi said very politely.

"It's just a small favor, you don't have to be polite, young lady." Then he turned and left, his back gradually disappearing from Gu Xi's sight.

In front of the courtyard, a small stream meanders. The water is as clear as jade and the flow is gentle. The water plants on the bank rise and fall with the water, and the tips of the grass float along the water under the surface.

Pushing open the gate and stepping onto the bluestone road, there is a peach tree in front of the courtyard. Under the tree is a stone table with a chessboard on it and a blue and white porcelain tea set next to it.

But this seemed to be just a corner of the courtyard. There was another road ahead, and Gu Xi didn't know where it would lead to.

* Hall of Elders *

In front of the Elders' Hall, Yan Youdao was sitting at the desk, holding a purple wolf-hair brush and correcting files, handling the sect's internal affairs.

He saw Yuanchu walk in, then put his pen on the inkstone and looked up at her.

"Master, Yuanchu is here to report," Yuanchu said, bowing slightly.

Yan Youdao stroked his gray beard with one hand, coughed several times, and then said slowly: "Xiaochu, you're back."

Yuanchu looked at him with some concern, "Well, disciple Yuanchu comes to report to the master."

"No need to be so formal. Come, sit down and talk."

Yuan Chu looked at the seat beside him, hesitated, and finally sat down.

"Li Yang has already reported this case to the sect, and I have a general understanding of it. The sect has also sent a message to the Changsheng Palace, and the Changsheng Palace has issued a wanted order to the demon tribe. I think there will be news in a few days."

——"Did you have a smooth descent this time? Are you injured?"

——"I'm not injured. Thank you for your concern, Master."

——"I heard from Li Yang that you were tripped up by something going on down the mountain, so you delayed your return to the sect, but what happened?"

——"Yuanchu didn't have anything else to do. I just saw a little girl at the foot of the mountain who I liked. I wanted to take her in as my disciple, so I was delayed for some time." Yuanchu answered carefully.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Will you accept her as your disciple? What's the girl's talent like? Can you investigate her background clearly? Are her parents willing to let her practice Taoism?" Yan Youdao asked a series of questions hesitantly.

Yuanchu muttered quietly in his heart. From the tone of his voice, it seemed that Master Yan was not very confident about Yuanchu accepting him as a disciple. He even treated the original owner like a child.

"Well, don't worry, Master. She has decent talent and her background has been thoroughly investigated. She and her parents are willing to let her practice Taoism." Yuanchu answered carefully.

Regarding the heroine's life experience, Yuanchu thought it was better not to reveal too much.

Secondly, the key is that she herself doesn’t know what the heroine’s original family is like, which makes it very difficult.

"That's good. In that case, since you have recognized her as your disciple, you should find a suitable day to take her to the Patriarch's Hall to complete the apprenticeship ceremony and confirm her status in the sect."

"The disciple understands."

***

Not long after Yuanchu stepped out of the palace door, a woman in a pink dress came towards him. She had curved eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, skin as white as snow, and a slim waist.

Yuan Chu didn't react at first who this person was, he just screamed in his heart: Wow, what a beautiful girl.

Then a sneer was heard, and a look of disdain appeared on the beautiful woman's face.

"Oh, who was it I thought? It turned out to be the Master of Yuanda Peak."

Yuanchu frowned slightly, his brain working at high speed, oh, this beauty doesn't like the original owner, did she have any grudge against the original owner before?

Yuan Chu remembered that this person was Xiao Wanqing, the daughter of the master of the neighboring Baiyue Peak.

He had a grudge with the original owner before, and had always been at odds with Yuanchu. Whenever the two met, they would mock and ridicule each other and disliked each other.

Now it seems that Xiao Wanqing has a stubborn look on her face, and she has a little disciple waiting for her at home.

Yuanchu didn't want to delay too long. They disliked each other anyway, so why waste time.

She simply turned around and left, without even a glance or a moment's stay.

An angry voice came from behind: "You damn woman, how dare you ignore me? Just wait for me."

Yuanchu ignored the words behind him and walked straight forward. If she wanted to, just come and kill her. He couldn't be considered a hero just because he could only scream.

In a blink of an eye, the clouds moved slowly, the sun set, and the red afterglow covered the entire mountain. The surrounding buildings were coated with a layer of warm halo, and the afterglow gradually faded away.

The last ray of afterglow faded away, dusk gradually deepened, and the night wind was dry.

Oh no, how come it’s getting dark so quickly and my little disciple is still waiting for me. Yuan Chu hurried to Qingqi Peak. He was worried about his little disciple and his pace quickened.

"It's so late now, I wonder how my little disciple is doing now?" Yuanchu said to himself.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Gu Xi lying on the stone table under the peach tree. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, making her look very peaceful. Everything around her was quiet and she seemed to be asleep.

"The temperature is low in the mountains at night. Gu Xi is a teenager who hasn't practiced yet. If she sleeps like this, she might catch a cold."

Yuan Chu suddenly felt something was wrong, laughed, walked over and patted her on the back gently.

Gu Xi opened her eyes sleepily, and after seeing who was coming, she was surprised: "Master, you are back!"

"Xiao Xi, why did you fall asleep here? It's very humid on the mountain and the temperature is low at night. How can your small body bear it?"

"Why don't you come into the house?" Yuanchu deliberately showed a fierce expression and blamed.

Gu Xi's face wrinkled into a ball, and she said with great self-blame:

"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't think that much. I was too bored so I lay on the table waiting for you to come back. I didn't expect that I fell asleep."

When Yuanchu heard this, he felt distressed and guilty, and regretted being mean to her just now.

What a wonderful child! It's all my fault that I delayed for too long.

"Okay, it's my fault that I took too long, come into the house quickly." Yuanchu said softly.
