Hard to be a master

Cui Mian smiled and said, "How? The old slave is right."

Guan Jingxuan nodded, and said to Shen Ziliu: "Xiaoliu, you really have a peach blossom birthmark behind your ear."

Shen Ziliu stood up straight and straightened his clothes, looked at the three people opposite him expressionlessly, and said, "So what? Even if what you said is true, so what? Now that I am a disciple of Kunlun, I only know that there is a master." , I never knew I had parents. And my surname is Shen, not Wang."

Cui Mian let out a long sigh and said, "It's natural for the young master to have resentment. But the master was also very helpless about what happened back then. The court wants to punish people, what can the common people do?"

Shen Ziliu sneered, and said: "Resentment? Did you misunderstand, whether you or the master you are talking about, are all strangers to me, and the old things you said are nothing to me. Meaning. This is a completely irrelevant person, why should I complain?"

Guan Jingxuan heard the anger in Shen Ziliu's words, lightly patted him on the back to comfort him, then turned to Cui Mian and said, "Mr. I already know, so I don’t know why you came here this time? With all due respect, it’s been so long, Wang Yuanwai must have his wife and descendants now, why bother to be obsessed with a child who has been lost for many years?”

Cui Mian said: "Although that is the case, it is my own flesh and blood after all. No matter how many years have passed, this family relationship will continue. Especially after learning that the young master had a very miserable childhood, the master shed tears several times I feel that I owe the young master a lot, so I want to take the young master home to recognize my ancestors and make up for it."

Shen Ziliu said without hesitation: "No need."

Cui Mian said: "Young master, the master really misses you very much, and also really wants to make up for you. The master said that now he doesn't ask for anything, but just wants to reunite with the family. When you return home, follow the master to learn how to manage the family business. , I will let you inherit the royal family in two years."

Shen Ziliu was disgusted when he heard the words, and said with a sneer, "Who cares?"

Cui Mian saw that Shen Ziliu couldn't get in, he looked sad, and looked at Guan Jingxuan for help.

Guan Jingxuan thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Cui, this matter is very important. I think Xiaoliu still needs time to accept and consider it. Why don't you please come back first, and Xiaoliu will give you an answer in a few days."

Shen Ziliu frowned and looked at Guan Jingxuan, and said, "Master, I don't need to think about it."

Guan Jingxuan shook her head slightly, and coaxed: "Hey, listen to Master."

Cui Mian could see that Shen Ziliu was very repulsed by this matter, so he had no choice but to accept Guan Jingxuan's proposal, and got up with the two people behind him to make a gesture to Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu, and said: "In this way, let's go back to Chang'an first. The city will return to the master, and I will visit you in three months, and I hope that Mr. Guan can help me persuade him."

Guan Jingxuan nodded with a smile, while Shen Ziliu had already clearly hung the word "see off" on his face.Cui Mian looked at Shen Ziliu hesitantly for a moment, then walked away with two servants.

After the three of them left, Shen Ziliu immediately turned around and walked towards Guan Jingxuan aggressively. Guan Jingxuan subconsciously took two steps back and fell down when the chair behind him lost his balance. Press, trapping Guan Jingxuan between the chair and his arm.

Seeing Shen Ziliu's angry face, Guan Jingxuan hurriedly said, "Xiao Liu, calm down!"

Shen Ziliu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and stared at Guan Jingxuan, gritted his teeth and said, "Master, do you want me to go again?"

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, only then did he understand why Shen Ziliu was angry, he couldn't help but chuckle, seeing that his apprentice's face became even uglier, so he quickly stopped laughing, and said: "Xiao Liu, you misunderstood."

Shen Ziliu was still staring at him with distrust in his eyes.

Guan Jingxuan couldn't help sighing, and for the first time reflected on what she had done before to make her apprentice feel so insecure.

"Xiaoliu, this time as a teacher, I really didn't think of letting you go at all. If you didn't mention it just now, my teacher wouldn't have thought about that at all."

Shen Ziliu still didn't speak, and he didn't hide his doubts, anger and anxiety on his face.From the current posture of the two, it is obvious that he is taking the initiative and releasing pressure on each other, but Shen Ziliu doesn't feel the uneasiness in his heart diminished in the slightest.Although the person trapped in his arms always looks gentle and submissive, like a gust of wind that gets tighter and harder to grasp, he can push people away lightly, or float freely Walk.

Guan Jingxuan clearly felt Shen Ziliu's uneasy mood, so he endured the oppressive feeling brought about by the other party's condescension, looked up at Shen Ziliu, and said in a soft but serious voice: "Xiao Liu, as a teacher in the past, I always wanted to persuade him You left because you were not a member of the immortal sect, or because you had a better choice. The road of cultivating immortality is not easy, and you were too young at that time. The decision to join Kunlun. Later, I persuaded you to join someone else's sect because the teacher's qualifications are limited and I don't want to delay your cultivation."

Guan Jingxuan raised his hand to shave a strand of hair hanging from Shen Ziliu's ear behind his ear, and said, "Now that your immortal roots have been stabilized, it would be a pity if you give up cultivating immortality and return to the world. What's more, you and I have experienced together. There are many things, the master-student relationship is not shallow, and it can't be broken just by saying it. In addition, even if you don't worship Rou Qing as your teacher, he is willing to teach you, and naturally there is no reason for you to leave as a teacher."

"From now on, unless Xiaoliu wants to leave, my teacher will never ask you to leave again." Hearing what Guan Jingxuan said, Shen Ziliu's expression finally relaxed, and then some grievances appeared in his brows and eyes.Guan Jingxuan relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Shen Ziliu and said with a light smile: "You can rest assured that Xiaoliu said this, for the teacher? Well, if someone who doesn't know sees it, they think I'm bullying the apprentice. Come on, here Master smiled."

After Shen Ziliu stared at Guan Jingxuan in silence for a long time, he suddenly knelt down, hugged Guan Jingxuan's waist, buried his head in his waist, and said in a muffled voice: "I won't go anywhere, my disciple. To be with the master forever."

"Okay, okay." Guan Jingxuan patted Shen Ziliu's head like coaxing a small animal, and joked: "Then when Xiaoliu soars, don't forget to take Master with you by hanging on your waist."

After the master and apprentice were tired of lying for a while, Guan Jingxuan helped Shen Ziliu up and asked him to sit aside.With Guan Jingxuan's explanation and guarantee, Shen Ziliu's emotions have basically calmed down, but he was still a little unhappy and said: "Since Master didn't intend to let me go to that Wang's house, why did you set a date with Cui Mian for three months? Master Knowing that the disciple will never agree to go back."

Guan Jingxuan straightened the wrinkled skirt, and said: "Although the grievances between the Wang family and the Shen family are a thing of the past and have nothing to do with you directly, it is a predestined destiny for you. Now that you choose to cultivate immortality, it is time to end it." The front edge. It is useless to escape or unilaterally ignore it. You must make a clear choice yourself, and then implement the choice to the end. Only when this matter is truly resolved can the relationship be considered closed. Otherwise, no matter how long it takes, this Duan Chenyuan will always be entangled in your fate and bring you endless troubles in the future."

After a pause, Guan Jingxuan went on to say, "What do you think about the past that Steward Cui just talked about?"

Shen Ziliu thought for a while, and said, "Although he spoke very eloquently, I always feel that he seems to be hiding something."

Guan Jingxuan nodded and said: "This is also the feeling of being a teacher. First, the reason why the Wang family wants you to go back is never as simple as he said. But any family with some family background and fame will never lack successors. The struggle among the heirs is very fierce, how can you, an illegitimate son, be allowed to go back to take a share of the pie or even monopolize the family business? So either there is something wrong with these heirs, or it is a lie to say that you are going back to inherit the family business."

Shen Ziliu nodded in agreement, and Guan Jingxuan continued: "Secondly, let's just assume that what Steward Cui said is true, then Xiaoliu, after you are a guilty minister, even if you return to the Wang family, they will not dare to disclose your truth Otherwise, once the court finds out, not only will you be killed, but the Wang family will also be implicated. And even if you conceal your identity, as long as you stay in the Wang family for a day, it will be a hidden danger. If you just want to compensate you, there are ways A lot, why did the Wang family insist on letting you go back even at the risk of a huge risk?"

"The third..."

Guan Jingxuan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say this or not.However, Shen Ziliu seemed to know what he was thinking, and calmly took up the conversation, saying: "Thirdly, the Wang family seems to be too innocent in the whole matter."
