When the Luoshuizong's Jindan elder and others finally caught up with their wayward peak master out of breath, it was rare to see emotions similar to entanglement on that ice cube face.
... So, the other party didn't stop and wait for them on purpose, but... encountered something difficult to solve?
Elder Jin Dan stroked his chest, completely confused what the other party was making a fuss about - could it be that the prodigal son of the Wuji Sect said something messed up in the ear of his peak master?
Elder Jin Dan could vaguely hear what the two of them were saying, but he couldn't hear it clearly—to be exact, he didn't dare to listen seriously, after all, if he heard something that he shouldn't hear, it would definitely Forced to die.
To be a human being, sometimes you need to learn to play dumb.
However, Elder Jin Dan, who had been pretending to be stupid for a while, had no choice but to approach nervously this time: "Peak Master...?"
A soft call finally awakened Xuanyue from the struggle. He glanced sideways at Elder Jindan, looked at him and took a step back, and then suddenly said: "...you go back to Luoshuizong first, I... ...something to take care of."
"Okay, okay, Peak Master, go slowly." Elder Jin Dan naturally didn't dare to have any objections, he quickly bowed and saluted, watching Xuan Yue throwing his sleeves away, he disappeared in an instant.
Elder Jin Dan: "..."
——Wait, the peak master is walking in the direction he came from?In connection with Xuan Yue's behavior of stopping and looking back when he left the Tianxuan Sect, could it be that there is indeed some mystery in the Tianxuan Sect?Or, as Su Yucheng from Wujimen said, who is the peak master looking for?
The Elder Jin Dan was in doubt in this side, and his brain was wide open. The Tianxuan Sect also solved the problem of the Lingshi veins in the other side, and finally returned to daily life after settling a serious matter.
After reporting to the sect master about his previous reception, the first thing Xiao Ming did after resigning from office was to return to his residence to investigate the situation of the young apprentice's retreat and foundation building.
Because he was so busy before, Xiao Ming did ignore Lu Tianyu, but even though he seemed indifferent on the surface, he still missed Lu Tianyu a lot.After all, he is his first apprentice, and he will probably be the only one. Xiao Ming, who is currently feeling empty in his heart, can only raise apprentices to pass the time.
When he returned to his residence, Lu Tianyu had already left the customs, and he was sitting cross-legged on the stone table in the middle of the empty courtyard, playing with the bright red flame in his palm boredly.
As a Jindan elder, Xiao Ming should have a few handyman disciples who are responsible for his basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, but he doesn't know whether it's childish possessiveness or territorial consciousness, but Lu Tianyu doesn't like these handyman disciples very much. Picking his nose and eyes up to the point of "I have no one else", Xiao Ming had to compromise, and politely declined these handyman disciples on the grounds that he was from a casual cultivator and was not used to being served by others.
Of course, apart from Lu Tianyu's objection, Xiao Ming himself is quite cautious and suspicious, and he still has a lot of secrets, so he doesn't like to get too close to people who don't know the background. It can be regarded as going smoothly.
At any rate, Xiao Ming was born as a casual cultivator, so even after nearly a hundred years of life, he didn't pay much attention to it, while Lu Tianyu struggled to survive alone, with a flexible mind, hard work, and was able to do all kinds of work with ease , the master and apprentice depended on each other to take care of each other, but there was no inconvenience at all.
Lu Tianyu's whole body has a condensed aura, obviously he has successfully entered the foundation building stage, and the foundation has been laid quite well.Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction, then coughed lightly to remind the other party of his arrival.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Tianyu's eyes lit up, he quickly jumped off the table, ran to Xiao Ming's side and saluted casually: "Master, are you done with your work?"
"I'm done." Xiao Ming nodded slightly, with a smile in his eyes, "Is the foundation building going well this time?"
"It went very well!" Lu Tianyu smiled, then grabbed Xiao Ming's sleeve, and asked for the prize with a shy face, "This time, the apprentice successfully established the foundation, what reward will the master have?"
Unexpectedly, his little apprentice was so shameless, Xiao Ming was a little stunned, and then he laughed: "Reward? The establishment of the foundation is for yourself, not for the teacher. What reward do you ask for from the teacher?"
Lu Tianyu opened his mouth, as if he had thought of something, but he was too embarrassed to say that, so he bit his lip in confusion.
Xiao Ming glanced at the little apprentice, and didn't bother to guess what he was struggling with, he casually shook off the sleeves that were being held by Lu Tianyu, and walked into the courtyard: "Okay, tell me, what do you want? "
Lu Tianyu followed Xiao Ming step by step, and after hearing this, he quickly said, "I want to ask Master to refine the magic weapon for me again!" After a pause, he pouted, his tone full of resentment, "Go up The master forged the sword for the disciple, but the disciple was snatched away by the axe before using it a few times, it is really hateful!"
Xiao Ming was speechless for a moment, then sat down at the stone table with his sleeves flicked, his back facing the strange stone rockery at the entrance of the courtyard: "It's just a small matter, but it can still make you remember it until now? Besides, it's not considered a robbery, he gave it to you." I gave you a spirit stone, and gave you a better magic weapon, such a good thing that others can't ask for, why are you dissatisfied?"
"Master, why is he talking for him!" Lu Tianyu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but obediently walked around behind Xiao Ming, put his arms around his shoulders, and kneaded him properly.
Because of his early career as a casual cultivator, Xiao Ming's body was left with a lot of hidden injuries. It stands to reason that after the previous alchemy, he should clean his tendons and cut his marrow, but it's a pity that he was disturbed by Gu worms , In the end, he didn't have time to heal his dark wounds.
Because of an accident, Lu Tianyu discovered this, and immediately volunteered to press and knead for him to relieve his fatigue. Although the technique was crude, it had spiritual power after all, which made Xiao Ming feel very comfortable.
"As long as I don't want to, it's called 'grabbing'. No matter how many spiritual stones he gave me, it's not as important as that sword in my heart! Bah! It's unreasonable to steal someone's love. !" With Lu Tianyu's complaints, his strength subconsciously increased a little bit, but he quickly reacted and changed it to knocking with a smile, "So, master, let's help my disciple refine some magical weapons! Practice a few more ——I'm so jealous of him!"
Xiao Ming: "..."
After being speechless for a long time, Xiao Ming turned his head slightly to look at his little apprentice, with a worried expression on his face: "Speaking of which, I always feel... since you have followed me, your temper has really become more and more childish."
Lu Tianyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to think about it, and seemed to be aware of this problem, but he didn't take it to heart at all: "Of course it's because Master loves me~"
"Big words." Xiao Ming snorted lightly, and raised his hand to brush away Lu Tianyu's hands that were beating his shoulders.
Lu Tianyu didn't feel annoyed, he smiled and grabbed Xiao Ming's sleeve, but his expression suddenly became serious: "Master treats me the best, I know."
Xiao Ming frowned unaccustomedly: "That's just because—"
"That's just because of the heart demon oath, I know what Master is going to say." Lu Tianyu interrupted Xiao Ming, and met his eyes straight, with firmness in his dark eyes, "Master fulfilled that promise very well, So, now it's time for me to fulfill my oath."
Xiao Ming subconsciously opened his eyes wide, a little surprised that Lu Tianyu was the first to bring up this matter.
"I didn't have enough cultivation before, so I listened to Master's words and practiced hard, and now I have finally established a foundation—" Lu Tianyu paused, and a blush was drawn on his already beautiful and aggressive face, "—it is also considered Are you qualified to become the cauldron of master?"
Xiao Ming: "..."
——Although it is true, but for some reason, these words always sound a bit strange?
Before Xiao Ming could answer, he suddenly felt a familiar aura. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Lu Tianyu, and stood sideways in front of him, facing the uninvited visitor at the entrance of the upper courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, a black ax in white clothes like snow stood there, his half body was hidden behind the rockery, with one hand resting on his side, while the other hand was curled up, with five fingers inserted like hooks.Into the gaps in the rockery, the knuckles are slightly white.
Xuan Yue lowered his head slightly, but the aura around him was colder and more terrifying than ice and snow. The corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, and his body was stretched straight up like a sharp sword, as if he was suppressing and restraining something.
The next moment, Xuan Yue raised his eyes, his deep black eyes were cold and obscure, but they seemed to be empty, he was clearly looking at Xiao Ming's direction, but it seemed that nothing entered his eyes.
Xiao Ming didn't know how long he had been snooping here, if Xuan Yue hadn't leaked the traces, maybe he would never have felt it.
Facing Xuan Yue's gaze, Xiao Ming opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to explain something, but Xuan Yue turned around and left without giving him any chance. disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Ming lowered his gaze slowly, his face was also numb, he ignored Lu Tianyu's subconscious persuasion behind him, and walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard - where Xuanyue was standing just now.
Why did Xuan Yue come here?He already recognized him?And why go and come back?Xiao Ming sighed lightly, and raised his hand to caress the rockery on his side, but as soon as his fingertips touched the cold stone surface, the rockery collapsed and turned into a piece of dust.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled wryly, swept the powder aside with a flick of his sleeve, then turned and walked back to the courtyard.
Lu Tianyu had been staring at him eagerly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, showing a pitiful expression.
Xiao Ming struggled to raise a smile, and raised his hand to caress the top of his head: "The matter of the cauldron... let's let it go. You will still be my apprentice in the future, and I will still treat you well. As for the others... don't worry about it anymore." carry."
Xiao Ming hadn't thought about Lu Tianyu's matter carefully before, even though his golden core is intact now, it would be beneficial and harmless to him to have a cauldron that he was willing to harvest for mending.Besides, Xiao Ming paid a lot for Lu Tianyu, but it's not Xiao Ming's character to blindly give without expecting anything in return. He was kind to Lu Tianyu only to move him and make him willing.
But now, Xiao Ming feels a little dispirited. He doesn't want to raise any cauldrons or do supplements. Now that the crisis is over and life is flat and comfortable, it doesn't matter if he cultivates slowly step by step, right?
Lu Tianyu pursed his lips, not knowing whether he was relieved or uncomfortable for a moment.It's just that he, who is very good at observing words and expressions, saw Xiao Ming's expression, and knew that he should not say anything more today, so he nodded obediently: "I see, Master."
Xiao Ming patted him on the head, and then left with his hands behind his back. Lu Tianyu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Master's decision, is it because of Xuanyue?"
Xiao Ming paused, then shook his head: "No."
——No, not for Xuanyue, just because...he really doesn't want to have any more physical involvement with another person.
... So, the other party didn't stop and wait for them on purpose, but... encountered something difficult to solve?
Elder Jin Dan stroked his chest, completely confused what the other party was making a fuss about - could it be that the prodigal son of the Wuji Sect said something messed up in the ear of his peak master?
