Hard to be a master

Guan Jingxuan put away the small carving knife in his hand, and said: "When I was in the school, I thought about it by myself when I had nothing to do, but as a teacher, I would only carve some simple carvings on small things such as hairpins and swords. Patterns, more complicated ones will not work."

Shen Ziliu played with Jiansui, and asked with a smile: "Then why did Master suddenly think of making Jiansui today? Is it for his disciples?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "This sword tassel was originally promised to be made for Xifeng, but it took more than two years to find a suitable material. A few days ago, the second senior brother sent a piece of Lantian jade. Xifeng's Lanyin Sword is very suitable, so I tried to carve it."

Shen Ziliu shouted in dissatisfaction when he heard the words: "Master has never done it for me!"

Guan Jingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't you have Jiansui with a psychic jade soul?"

Shen Ziliu pursed his lips: "How can the ones made by Master's hands compare with those bought outside? I don't care, I want to."

Guan Jingxuan smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, after finishing this for the teacher, I will find a good spiritual material to make one for you."

Shen Ziliu lay down on Guan Jingxuan's side, twirling the unfinished sword tassel in his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter what material you use, as long as it is made by the master, the disciples like it."

Guan Jingxuan was afraid that he would throw the sword ear away, so she reached out and took it from Shen Ziliu's hand to put it away, looked down at the apprentice who was huddled with her, and said, "Two groups of guests came to the house today."

Hearing Guan Jingxuan say "home", Shen Ziliu was satisfied for a while, and asked leisurely with his head on one hand, "Guest?"

Guan Jingxuan glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "It was Aunt Sun who came to the street earlier, and asked a lot about your situation, and mentioned a few young ladies in Yangzhou City... From what she meant, it seemed I want to be a matchmaker for Xiaoliu."

Shen Ziliu immediately lost his smile when he heard the words, sat up from the hanging basket, and said with a worried face: "Master didn't promise her anything?"

After thinking for a while, Guan Jingxuan said: "Well... I think it's my teacher, Xiaoliu, you are also at this age. In the past, when you devoted yourself to practicing in Kunlun for a whole year, you didn't see a few female cultivators. Now there is a girl who likes you. Go It's not a bad thing to see."

Shen Ziliu's face became even more ugly, and he said, "What does it matter to me who they like?! No see!"

Seeing that Shen Ziliu reacted so strongly, Guan Jingxuan held back a smile and continued to tease him: "It's not a disadvantage to meet him, what if there is someone who looks right? Most of the women in Jiangnan are gentle and charming, and there are many talented women among them. As a teacher, I think there should be something you like."

Shen Ziliu gritted his teeth and said, "No! The master is the only one in the eyes of the disciples. Those vulgar fans can't even match the hair of the master. The disciples will never like it!"

The too blunt words made Guan Jingxuan blush slightly, feeling as if he had shot himself in the foot with a rock.In the past few years, although Shen Ziliu likes to come up to hug him from time to time, hold his hand, and occasionally kiss him on the face when he is not paying attention, he has never behaved more out of bounds, and has never said anything explicit. love words.Guan Jingxuan knew that Shen Ziliu was fulfilling his original promise, and was also waiting for his answer.

In the two years and six months of being together with Chaoxi during the two years of getting together, although Shen Ziliu didn't say it clearly, his words and deeds made Guan Jingxuan constantly realize that he was serious when he said that he liked him.He always puts him first when considering things, and always gives him the best he can give, and takes care of his life in every detail, and Shen Ziliu always does things related to him by himself.He is also very measured in his words and deeds, which can make Guan Jingxuan feel his heart without being aggressive.

Guan Jingxuan had to admit that Shen Ziliu's feelings were stronger and more mature than he originally thought.It wasn't a sudden whim, it wasn't the inability to distinguish between young and old, and it wasn't the apprentice's attachment to the master, but it was the clear and obvious Shen Ziliu's liking for Guan Jingxuan.

Now, on the contrary, Guan Jingxuan is a little confused about his own mind.Originally, he always thought that he only had the friendship of master and apprentice for Shen Ziliu, and he had no other thoughts, but when he started to care about this issue, he suddenly discovered that Shen Ziliu's pure and passionate love made him happy, and Shen Ziliu's closeness made him happy. He also didn't feel repelled at all.There was even one time when he was sitting idle in Qingmengji, he just happened to see a few young women who came to buy books together, all of them smiled and looked forward to their love, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were here for Shen Ziliu.Shen Ziliu didn't give them too many eyes, he greeted them like any guest who came to Qingmengji, but Guan Jingxuan somehow felt some subtle unhappiness in his heart.

Guan Jingxuan didn't know if this was liking, or just a possessive desire because the two had lived together for too long.He had never experienced such experiences and emotions before, so there was no way to compare them.Fortunately, their time is very long, and Shen Ziliu also showed enough patience, allowing him enough time to clarify his feelings.

It was only at this moment, seeing Shen Ziliu's fierce reaction and hearing his almost confession, that Guan Jingxuan suddenly realized that his joke might have gone a little too far. He squeezed Shen Ziliu's hand and said, "Xiao Liu, The teacher didn't agree to anything, I was teasing you just now, sorry."

After a moment of silence, Shen Ziliu's face gradually softened, and his back relaxed a little, but he still looked at Guan Jingxuan with a frown, and said seriously: "Master, don't make such jokes in the future, the disciple will take it seriously and feel sad."

Guan Jingxuan only felt that the tip of her heart seemed to be squeezed by someone, and her heartache and apology became more and more intense, so she sat up, leaned over and hugged Shen Ziliu, and said sincerely: "Just now it was Master's fault, it won't happen in the future, Xiao Liu, don't be angry .”

Shen Ziliu buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, a grievance whimpered from his throat, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Guan Jingxuan couldn't see the boy's expression, but could only hear his voice, Shen Ziliu took the opportunity to say, "Then Master has to promise me a request."

Guan Jingxuan agreed without thinking, "Okay, tell me."

Shen Ziliu withdrew from his embrace, and said: "Yesterday, Venerable Rouqing informed through sound transmission that there is a five-handed ghost in Lin'an City doing evil, many young women and even some pretty women in the city have fallen for it. Originally sent I invited a few Kunlun disciples who participated in the trial to surrender, but the five-linked ghost was quite daft and slippery. Everyone who went there was tricked and couldn't do anything about it. Master Rouqing knew that we were nearby, so he took this The task was assigned to me. Master, let me go to Lin'an City with me, and after the matter of the Wutong ghost is settled, we will take a look at the Qiantang tide, and the time will soon be the best tide-watching period of the year."
