Hard to be a master

Guan Jingxuan stroked his sleeves, and said: "Actually, I should have prepared the apprenticeship ceremony in advance, but firstly, I never thought that I would have a day of accepting apprentices, and secondly, I have lived in Kunlun for a long time, and I don't have any decent magic weapons in my hands. You can give it to your apprentice, and I don’t know what you like. So why don’t you say what you want, Xiaoliu, as long as I can get it, I can give it to you.”

Shen Ziliu shook his head without thinking, "Master is willing to accept me as an apprentice, and promised to let me stay in Qingmengyuan, which is already the best gift for me."

Guan Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "No, no, these are two different things. The apprentice ceremony is a must, but your words reminded me of one thing. Since you will live in Kunlun in the future, it is also time to give it to you in Qingmengyuan. You've added a room, and it's going to be a lot of inconvenience to stay in the same bedroom with me all the time."

Shen Ziliu frowned, and said, "I caused too much trouble for Master before."

Guan Jingxuan pinched his face casually, and said, "Didn't you say that you don't have to be so careful?"

Shen Ziliu rubbed the place that Guan Jingxuan had pinched, his expression turned pale.

Guan Jingxuan continued: "I'm not afraid that you will cause me trouble, but I feel that you will be inconvenient."

Shen Ziliu was puzzled and said: "It's good as it is now, the disciple didn't feel any inconvenience."

Guan Jingxuan was silent, and then said with a slightly delicate expression: "You are still young so you don't feel it yet. Wait two years before you grow up, and your mind is still uncertain...It is inevitable that you will feel inconvenient."

Shen Ziliu still looked bewildered and didn't understand why, Guan Jingxuan coughed lightly, and said, "Let's settle this matter for now, and you will understand the intention of being a teacher in the future... Cough, there is a wet and warm place on the south side of Kunlun. There is a piece of purple jade bamboo growing in the valley, how about going to get some bamboo tomorrow for the teacher and come back to build a bamboo house for you?"

Shen Ziliu lowered his eyes and said, "It's all up to Master to decide."

Guan Jingxuan said: "Xiaoliu, we are now discussing your future bedroom, and your thoughts are the most important. If you have any requests, feel free to ask them."

Shen Ziliu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I only have one request."

Guan Jingxuan gave him an encouraging smile and asked, "What request?"

Shen Ziliu said: "The disciple wants to live closer to the master."

Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "Qingmengyuan is only this big, how far can it go?"

Shen Ziliu lowered his head again and stopped talking, as if even the tuft of hair on the top of his head was drooping down.

Seeing how wronged he was, Guan Jingxuan said helplessly, "Well, it's a little closer, and it's next to the master's bedroom. Is that okay?"

Shen Ziliu finally had a smile on his face again, but he still said in that neutral tone, "Master is the master."

Guan Jingxuan patted Shen Ziliu's head while sighing secretly in her heart: Are all children so clingy?But he remembered that he didn't seem to be like this when he was a child...

After the master and apprentice chatted for a few more words, Guan Jingxuan sent Shen Ziliu to take a nap, while she sat in the outer room and read a book for a while.After Shen Ziliu fell asleep, Guan Jingxuan calmly put away the scroll, drank the tea that Shen Ziliu respected just now, got up and left the bedroom.

When Qingmengyuan was being built, Guan Jingxuan deliberately left a short section of the backyard close to the courtyard wall without being caged into the inner barrier, so that section of the courtyard wall was covered with white snow all the year round, and the ground inside the wall was covered with snow. There was also some deep and shallow accumulation of snow, which looked as if the snow had poured in from the courtyard wall, which had a special charm.

There is a small pond in the backyard. The water in the pond is crystal clear and cool to the touch but not sharp to the bone. Occasionally, a layer of mist like a veil will form on the surface of the pond, which will dissipate when the breeze blows.There are several palm-sized water lily leaves floating in the pool, and a tightly closed water lily bud is hidden between the lotus leaves. It's hard to spot by looking.

This square lotus pond existed before Guan Jingxuan built Qingmengyuan. It was not protected by an enchantment before, and the water in the pond had never been frozen.And the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pond have been like this since Guan Jingxuan came here, neither flourishing nor withering, neither blooming nor thanking, it's just like a fake.Guan Jingxuan liked this lotus pond very much. After Qingmengyuan was built, she went to the foot of the mountain to find a few koi and put them in. As a result, all the koi turned white in less than two days.Later, when Gu Qinglan came back from Fangcun, he brought him two spirit carps caught in Fangcun's transformation pond. After putting them into the pond, the two red fish seemed to be worried about something, and swam against the edge of the lotus pond for two days. The pool is full of chaos.Those two spirit carps are still alive and kicking in the lotus pond, and they don't need Guan Jingxuan to feed them, which is very worry-free.

Gu Qinglan said that the lotus in this pond is probably a spiritual creature, and ordinary fish cannot bear its aura, so they cannot survive in the pond, and told Guan Jingxuan not to touch the lotus lightly, saying that it might last for 80 or [-] years. You can also pick up a cheap treasure.Guan Jingxuan didn't think much about it, but thought it would be interesting to have two small red fish in the lotus pond, and he was too lazy, so he never thought of touching it.

A phoenix tree was planted not far from the lotus pond. The trunk was only as thick as a person, but the branches and leaves were quite prosperous, and the pavilion was like a cover.Part of the canopy extends to the place where there is no enchantment, and the branches are covered with snow, which is very beautiful.This sycamore tree is a seed taken from the sycamore tree in Qinghui Palace. At the beginning, Guan Jingxuan just dug a hole and buried it with the mentality of trying it out. When he remembered it, he poured some water. They don't care.As a result, with his casual planting method, this sycamore tree actually grew seedlings in the second year, which is also quite tenacious.

Guan Jingxuan strolled to a relatively flat stone beside the lotus pond and sat down. After groping in her sleeve for a while, she took out a silver ring about one finger wide and put it on her index finger.Slightly concentrating, the engravings on the ring like flowing clouds were slowly illuminated by the faint blue light. After all the engravings on the ring were filled with blue light, a familiar voice came from the ring.

"Jing Xuan? What's wrong?"

Ling Xifeng spoke these words very fast, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of metal colliding from the ring.

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, do it first, what I want to tell you is not too important."

In response to Guan Jingxuan was a burst of fierce fighting sounds, which were also mixed with two strange roars.After a while, Ling Xifeng's voice came again.

"It's okay, you tell me, I'll listen."

Then there was another chaotic noise.

After being speechless for a while, Guan Jingxuan didn't hesitate, and went straight to the point: "I want to tell you that today I took Xiaoliu to test his spiritual power, and his talent is amazing. Then for some reason, he temporarily worshiped under my sect gone."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Guan Jingxuan always felt that the other end of the ring seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then there was a more intense fighting sound than before.The last deafening beast roar came, and he heard Ling Xifeng seem to give a low "tsk", and after a while, the other end of the ring was quiet.

Guan Jingxuan was a little worried and said, "Xifeng? Are you okay?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Xifeng's voice sounded again: "My side has been resolved. You just said that you accepted that kid as a disciple?"

Although she knew that the other party could not see her, Guan Jingxuan nodded and said, "Well, that's the decision for the time being."

After another period of silence, Ling Xifeng said slowly: "Although I don't like that kid, if you have already made up your mind, then I respect your decision. But since you want to receive the door, I suggest you check carefully Check out his history."
