Hard to be a master

After the spiritual power test yesterday, several alchemy cultivators favored Zi Lan and expressed their willingness to accept him as a disciple.However, I don't know if Zi Lan intends to follow Ling Xifeng's example, but she declined all of them politely, so he is currently living in the dormitory with other monks who have no apprentices.After some simple treatment, after confirming that his life was not in danger, the cultivator who gave first aid to Zi Lan carried him back to the dormitory to rest.

Shen Ziliu's situation is better than Zilan's. After Qing Yin lost some spiritual power to him, he will be fine, but he needs to rest for a while before he wakes up, so today's practice can only end here.Qing Yin looked around but did not see Guan Jingxuan, and it was not easy to leave the sleepy Shen Ziliu in Yinxianping, so he decided to be a good man to the end and carried Shen Ziliu back to Qingmengyuan.

Guan Jingxuan touched her forehead repeatedly, she didn't know what to say.After thanking Qing Yin, Guan Jingxuan personally sent him out, then went to the kitchen to put the cooked food in a pot and warmed it with hot water, and then returned to the bedroom.

Shen Ziliu slept in the dark on Guan Jingxuan's couch, and his breathing was much heavier than usual. Occasionally, his calf would twitch. It seemed that he was really exhausted.Guan Jingxuan sighed helplessly, and lightly put her hand on Shen Ziliu's head, and slowly injected a soft spiritual power to help him adjust his breath.Shen Ziliu has not really started yet, and he has not mastered the method of using spiritual power to promote the recovery of his own body, so he can only let it recover by itself.The spiritual power that Guan Jingxuan injected into Shen Ziliu could not offset his physical fatigue, but it could relieve the feeling of fatigue, at least let him sleep more peacefully.

When the afterglow of the sunset was gone, Shen Ziliu woke up slowly. He just opened his eyes when someone knocked on his forehead gently.

Guan Jingxuan sat on the side of the couch, pretending to be angry and said, "Are you an idiot? It didn't take long for you to run around Yinxianping sixty times. It's too long for your life?"

Shen Ziliu looked at Guan Jingxuan dully, unable to react for a while.He didn't wake up gradually until his body's consciousness gradually recovered, and the feeling of soreness, swelling and pain came from his legs.

Seeing Guan Jingxuan angry for the first time, Shen Ziliu was flustered and stammered: "No, no, this disciple just doesn't want to lose..."

Guan Jingxuan laughed angrily, and said, "It's just a contest on the spur of the moment. If you lose, you won't be punished and if you win, you won't be rewarded. So what should you do seriously? Is it important to win or lose, or is life important?"

Shen Ziliu bit his lip, lowered his eyes and said, "I... this disciple just doesn't want the master to think that the disciple is useless..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ziliu was hit on the head again.

Guan Jingxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Xiaoliu, did you forget what I said to my teacher yesterday when I was apprenticed to my teacher? As a teacher, I only hope that you can grow up safely, happily and healthily. As for practicing, just do what you can. , can it be determined by winning or losing a competition?"

Shen Ziliu knew he was wrong, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Disciple knows it's wrong..."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Guan Jingxuan couldn't pretend anymore. After sighing, he reached out to touch Shen Ziliu's head, and said softly, "When I saw Qing Yin carrying you back today, I was really scared. Jump, don't do such nonsense in the future."

Shen Ziliu pursed his lips and said, "Got it."

Guan Jingxuan withdrew her hand and asked with concern, "Does your leg hurt?"

Shen Ziliu shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."

As soon as Shen Ziliu finished speaking, Guan Jingxuan suddenly pinched his calf through the quilt. The strength was not heavy, but Shen Ziliu couldn't hold back his expression for an instant, and grinned in pain.

Guan Jingxuan smiled and said: "In front of Master, there is no need to be brave."

With tears of pain in Shen Ziliu's eyes, he changed his words: "It hurts a little..."

Guan Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, and then said: "After dinner, take a hot bath, and rest for two days, you should be fine. Today, I am going to fetch some purple jade bamboos and come back to build a bamboo house for you. Now It seems that it can only be postponed for a few days, and in these few days, I have to wrong you and squeeze with the teacher again."

Shen Ziliu said seriously: "I am not wronged, my disciple is very happy."

After eating and taking a bath, it was getting late, and Guan Jingxuan forced Shen Ziliu to sleep on his couch, while Guan Jingxuan lay down on another small couch.After the two masters and apprentices said goodnight to each other, Guan Jingxuan waved out the lamp on the table, and after a while, his breathing became regular and steady, as if he had fallen asleep.

Probably because he slept too much during the day, Shen Ziliu lay on the couch with his eyes closed for a long time without feeling sleepy, but because he was afraid of disturbing Guan Jingxuan, he lay still and fell asleep.It wasn't until the moon was approaching the climax that Shen Ziliu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

The screen between the two couches had been removed by Guan Jingxuan at some point. Without the barrier of the screen, although the distance between the two couches has not changed, it always makes people feel a lot closer.Without making a sound, Shen Ziliu turned outwards, and Shen Ziliu calmly looked at Guan Jingxuan, who was only a few feet away from him, with complex emotions in his eyes that had never been shown in front of Guan Jingxuan.

The bright moonlight spilled into the bedroom from the wide-open window, completely overshadowing the dim light of the luminous pearl on the table, and covering all the things shrouded in the moonlight with a layer of silver veil that seems to have nothing.Guan Jingxuan's originally soft facial features also became softer in the hazy moonlight. Although he was just sleeping peacefully, it gave people an inexplicable sense of security, making people want to let go of all defenses and lean against him have a good rest.

After Shen Ziliu stared at Guan Jingxuan silently for a long time, he suddenly whispered to Guan Jingxuan, as if he was asking Guan Jingxuan or talking to himself: "Can I trust you?"

The only natural response to him is the quiet moonlight and a room of silence.

Three days later, after resting, Shen Ziliu resumed his studies in Yinxianping.Guan Jingxuan wanted to send him there, but the child got up too early, and when Guan Jingxuan struggled to get up at dawn, there was no one on the next bed.Zi Lan resumed his practice one day earlier than Shen Ziliu, and when he saw Shen Ziliu again, he came forward to greet him very enthusiastically, and once again invited Shen Ziliu to compete.Although Shen Ziliu refused him very straightforwardly, the two of them were still secretly competing with each other when they were running around, but compared to the first time, they were obviously more measured.

Shen Ziliu himself is very talented and hardworking. After receiving guidance from other monks in Yinxianping for a period of time, he quickly found the way to refine his body and Qi.Coupled with Jingxuan's advice after returning home, Shen Ziliu's practice progress obviously left other new monks behind.And Zi Lan, who often "combats" with him, is not to be outdone, relying on her own martial arts foundation and extremely high comprehension, she almost goes hand in hand with Shen Ziliu, and the two quickly stand out among this group of monks.

What surprised Guan Jingxuan was that after practicing for a period of time, Shen Ziliu's personality seemed to be gradually becoming cheerful.From the beginning when he was wary of everyone, he kept a cold face and refused to talk to anyone. Slowly, he would respond a few words when the monks who practiced with him came to talk to him, and now when he is asked for advice, he still doesn’t care. Will patiently guide one or two.Shen Ziliu originally had a face that no one could hate, and he was extremely talented in practice, and now he is gradually able to communicate with others normally, and he has become almost as popular as Zilan in Yinxianping people.
