Hard to be a master

In front of Zi Lan or anyone else, Shen Ziliu could admit frankly that his purpose of becoming a monk was not to ascend the Tao, but in front of Guan Jingxuan, except for the time before his apprenticeship, he never said that again.Because Shen Ziliu knew that Guan Jingxuan had always thought that he would join Kunlun because he was young and ignorant, and made a sudden decision, but he still didn't think he had thought it through.He could see that although Guan Jingxuan agreed to let him stay and become a monk, he didn't agree with his reasons for becoming a monk.

However, just as Guan Jingxuan knew him, Shen Ziliu had already figured out Guan Jingxuan's temper, and knew what to say and do to get the result he wanted.

After the initial anger passed, Shen Ziliu took a deep breath and quickly adjusted the emotions on his face, then looked at Guan Jingxuan with a bit of sadness and aggrieved, and said, "But why didn't the master discuss it with the disciple? If it wasn't for today I heard Zi Lan say by chance that the disciple still doesn't know anything about it—does Master just not believe me?"

What Shen Ziliu said was exactly what Guan Jingxuan was most wrong about in this matter. He stroked the front of his shirt uncomfortably, and asked, "If my teacher discusses it with you, will you agree?"

of course not.

Shen Ziliu looked at Guan Jingxuan slightly hurt, and said, "Since the disciple joined the master's sect, has there ever been one thing that has disobeyed the master?"

Guan Jingxuan suddenly felt even more wronged, and said, "Uh...no."

Tears welled up in Shen Ziliu's eyes, and he said with a choked voice, "That means the master hates the disciple and wants to drive him away."

Guan Jingxuan hurriedly said: "No, no, Xiaoliu, don't think too much, being a teacher definitely doesn't mean that."

Shen Ziliu bit his lips, tears were still dripping from the corners of his eyes, and said, "But that's what Master did."

Guan Jingxuan wiped his face and said, "Xiaoliu, I really didn't mean that. I signed up for the Water Moon Illusion just because it is currently the most suitable place for you to practice. I applied without telling you. I was wrong, I apologize."

"Master doesn't need to apologize." Shen Ziliu's eyes were red, he held Guan Jingxuan's hand with both hands, and said pitifully, "But this disciple doesn't want to leave Master either."

Guan Jingxuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Shuiyue Illusion is in Tongdao Peak, so we can't leave it, but we can't meet each other during the trial period."

Shen Ziliu squeezed out a tear and said, "I want to see Master every day."

Guan Jingxuan supported his forehead with a headache, then raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Shen Ziliu's face, sighed and said, "Boys, don't cry at every turn. Xiaoliu, you are already a big child. You have to learn to be independent after all. It is not good for you to stick to the teacher. If you want to ask the fairy to ask, you can't be afraid of loneliness. This time is just a dreamland of water and moon. In the future, you will go down the mountain to try to practice in the world. A teacher can accompany you for a while, but not for a lifetime .”

Shen Ziliu frowned slightly, and said, "If—"

As if knowing what he was going to say, Guan Jingxuan directly interrupted Shen Ziliu, and said flatly: "If what you want to say is that you would rather stop or not cultivate immortality, then I don't think you need to stay in Kunlun. It's up to you Now that you are fully capable of making a living, as a teacher, I am more willing to let you return to the mundane world and return to the life you should have."

Guan Jingxuan's words were very understated, but Shen Ziliu's heart tightened suddenly. He didn't expect that he wanted to pretend to be pitiful to make Guan Jingxuan change his mind, but he was turned against the general.

It seems that the trick of crying is no longer useful...

Shen Ziliu looked at Guan Jingxuan in a daze for a moment, then his expression changed, he looked startled, and said cautiously: "Master is angry? This disciple doesn't think so, this disciple just...just..."

Saying that, Shen Ziliu shed two lines of tears again, and said with a red nose, "Does Master not want me?"

Guan Jingxuan sighed again, wiped away the tears from Shen Ziliu's face, then patted his head, and said softly: "Didn't you just say that boys should not cry easily? When did the teacher say that he didn't want you anymore? Being a teacher just means that you should learn to be independent."

Shen Ziliu grabbed Guan Jingxuan's hand, and said, "I know...you just go, master, don't be angry."

Guan Jingxuan smiled helplessly, and said, "I'm not angry as a teacher, it's okay, okay, don't cry."

Shen Ziliu sniffed, looked at Guan Jingxuan with red eyes, and said, "Then, can the master agree to two conditions?"

Guan Jingxuan was being softened by Shen Ziliu's crying, nodded and said: "You say."

Shen Ziliu said: "When the disciple is going to the trial, the master cannot accept other people as disciples."

Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "It was an accident for me to accept you as an apprentice at the beginning, why would I accept others."

Shen Ziliu pursed his lips, and said, "Master will only count if he promises."

Guan Jingxuan shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I promise you as a teacher. What else?"

Shen Ziliu thought for a while, and said, "Master will send me there on the day the trial begins, and Master will pick me up on the day it ends."

Guan Jingxuan couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, kid Shen Ziliu, do you still need Master to lead you?"

Shen Ziliu said solemnly: "Yes!"

Guan Jingxuan smiled and twisted Shen Ziliu's face, and said: "A boy who is almost an adult, and still loves to act like a baby, be careful to spread the word and be laughed at."

Shen Ziliu suddenly jumped forward and plunged into Guan Jingxuan's arms, put his arms around his waist, buried his head in his waist and said in a muffled voice: "Others laugh as much as they like, this disciple doesn't care."

Guan Jingxuan hugged the apprentice who ran into his arms, and couldn't help sighing again: He was a very cold child when he was just picked up, and he was quite normal outside, why did he become so clingy, crying and acting like a baby when he was in front of him? ...

Guan Jingxuan, who was still silently thinking about whether there was something wrong with her education, did not notice that the expression of the young man nestled in his arms was somewhat gloomy.

For the next three days, Shen Ziliu did not go to Wujian Peak again, nor did he seek out Zilan for exchanges and discussions, but stayed in Qingmengyuan, following Guan Jingxuan step by step like a little tail.As soon as Guan Jingxuan thought that the child would be thrown into the Water Moon Illusion in two days, this was the first time Shen Ziliu had left him for more than two days after the two became masters and apprentices, so she let him go.The day before the trial, Guan Jingxuan rummaged through his dusty box for a long time and found many practical magic weapons, and went to Sun Yumo to find a few of them with ease, and then handed them over to Sun Yumo together with a purse-shaped Qiankun pouch Shen Ziliu.

Teach Shen Ziliu how to use the magic weapon one by one. Guan Jingxuan was about to explain to him what kind of place the Shuiyue Illusion is and what he needs to pay attention to, but the barrier of Qingmengyuan suddenly shook. The enchantment that should not be seen is revealed for a moment.

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback, then turned to ask Shen Ziliu, "I didn't close the cave today, did I?"

Shen Ziliu looked out the door warily and said, "No."

Guan Jingxuan frowned and said: "That's weird... Who can touch my wind barrier..."

While talking, Guan Jingxuan got up and walked out, saying: "Xiao Liu, follow me as a teacher and go out to have a look."
