Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

After Xitao's order was promulgated, there were many voices of opposition in Tianchenmen, but no one dared to hurt the mermaids at will. The life of the mermaids in the door became better day by day, at least they could eat enough and wear warm clothes , You don’t have to live on the tip of the knife every day.

After being honest for a day as agreed, Xitao continued to teach Jiuling how to read and write. When he was free, he went to see the merman weaving dragon silk, which was a bit novel.

The mermen were still afraid when they saw him, but they were not as panicked as before. Xi Tao didn't bother them, and always watched from a distance, and left silently when they had seen enough.

He lived quite comfortably in Tianchen Sect, but he was a little worried as the date of his apprenticeship was getting closer and closer.

When Jiuling was reading and learning, he was serious and asked questions humbly, but after he finished learning, he didn't even bother to give him a look, just like Jiuling turned his face and ruthless every morning when he woke up holding him. It was him who hugged him, as cold as ice Also him.

Apprentice heart, sea needle.

Raising apprentices is really a strenuous job. It seems that being a master is an extremely profound knowledge that needs to be explored slowly.

The only thing Xitao was gratified about was that the tooth marks on Jiu Ling's neck finally faded away, and if he didn't look carefully, he could no longer see them. In this way, he would feel less guilty and guilty every time he saw Jiu Ling.

What Xitao didn't expect was that Jiuling didn't want to worship him as a teacher, but there were other people who wanted to worship him as a teacher.

Holding the greeting card in her hand, Xi Tao was a little surprised. She never thought that Luo Tianchen would be so famous that the son of the lord of Xishui City could hand in the greeting card in person.

He put the invitation card aside, and continued to put the crooked words written by Jiu Ling into the brocade box.

Seeing Jiu Ling's handwriting getting better and better, he felt relieved and wanted to keep these words as a souvenir.

Xitao put the brocade box away before going out to meet the son of the city lord of Xishui City. He is new here, so it's better not to cause trouble, so naturally the son of the city lord of Xishui city can't be seen.

As he walked out, he shook the Yinchuan bell on his body and asked about the identity and background of the city lord's son.

"The owner of Xishui City is named Nangong Zhentian. His son Nangongjing is 11 years old this year. He is the future successor of Xishui City. Luo Tianchen and him have met a few times, but they haven't communicated with him, so they are not familiar. You can deal with it freely. Can."

With the answer in her heart, Xi Tao couldn't help but lighten her steps.

Jiuling was holding an ancient poem he had just copied in his hand and wanted to show it to Luo Tianchen. He walked through the Moon Gate excitedly, just in time to see Luo Tianchen walking in front of him. He opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound , Luo Tianchen had already walked over without looking sideways.

His footsteps stagnated, and your expression turned cold instantly, you frowned, and looked up coldly.

I saw a young man in brocade clothes standing at the door, probably waiting for Luo Tianchen.

The boy looked about the same age as him, but he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only tell that the boy was dressed gorgeously. He should be a proud son of heaven like Luo Tianchen. the same kind of people.

Jiu Ling raised the corners of his lips mockingly, his eyes were dark and cloudy, and his eyes gradually became cloudy.

Sure enough, Luo Tianchen would not pay attention to such a lowly person in the dirt. When Luo Tianchen was interested, he would tease him, and when he was not interested, he would not even bother to give him a look.

He clenched his fist unconsciously, his fingers dug into his flesh, and the ancient poem he copied just now was crumpled into a ball, and it was no longer in shape.

Xitao walked up to Nangongjing, and after seeing Nangongjing's appearance, she couldn't help being stunned. The son of the lord of Xishui City was almost a miniature version of Sicheng.

Could it be that Sicheng has been freed from the suffering of animals and reincarnated in Xishui City, so he is already this big?

He frowned slightly. Logically speaking, even if Si Cheng was reincarnated, he should be just a baby now. How could he be 11 years old in a blink of an eye?Is it just that people are similar?

Xitao suppressed the surprise in her heart, and cupped her hands calmly, regardless of whether Nangongjing was Sicheng or not, she didn't remember him now, so he had to deal with this wave first.

Nangongjing smiled slightly, and bowed respectfully, "Master Luomen."

Xi Tao sized him up, Nan Gongjing behaved politely, his eyebrows were bright, and he looked gentle, which made people feel good about him. He was completely different from Si Cheng, who always raised his eyebrows in Tianting every time he saw him.

Maybe not the same person.

Xi Tao smiled, her eyes were clear and gentle, and she asked, "I don't know why Mr. Nangong came here suddenly, why?"

Nangongjing hesitated for a moment, presented the gift with both hands, and said bluntly: "I came here today to prepare the gift, because I want to worship Master Luo Sect as my teacher."

Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, then declined, "There are many experienced masters in Xishui City, I believe the city lord can find a better master for you, but I'm still young, so I really can't do it."

Luo Tianchen is only 20 years old this year. Although he is considered a leader among the younger generation, he is nothing compared to the experienced seniors. Xitao can't help but wonder what Nangongjing wants as the son of the city lord. If you don't have a master, why would you want to worship Luo Tianchen as your teacher?

Nangong Jing said: "Although there are many masters in Xishui City, there are very few people who share the same goals as me."

Xi Tao showed a puzzled look.

Nan Gongjing explained: "I recently heard that the head of the Luo Sect forbids his disciples from buying and selling mermen. This coincides with what I think. The sect master cherishes each other and wants to worship the Luo sect master as his teacher."

Xitao didn't expect that there were like-minded people in Xishui City. He was slightly surprised. Although Nangongjing is young, he has a lot of wisdom roots. If he can become the lord of Xishui City in the future, it should be a blessing for the sharks.

Nangongjing came here in person today with a gift, which shows his sincerity. As the son of the city lord, it is really rare for him to have such a demeanor and humility.

Although Xi Tao admired him very much, but thinking of her mission this time, and her apprentice who hadn't yet harvested, she couldn't help but feel a little headache. She really didn't have the extra energy to teach Nangongjing.

He just came to the world for a quick walk, so it's better not to leave too many worries behind.

He thought for a while, then tactfully refused: "I know I am not capable of teaching the future city lord, so I ask Mr. Nangong to find another good teacher."

Nangongjing frowned slightly, "The sect master is unwilling?"

Xi Tao pondered and said: "Tianchen knows that his ability is limited and he is not competent. Mr. Nangong should hire someone else."

Nangongjing lowered his eyes in disappointment, pursed his lips regretfully and said, "Since this is the case, I can't make things difficult for Sect Master Luo, I have to let this matter go."

"Thank you for your understanding, young master."

Nangongjing handed the gift to Xitao, and said in a sincere voice: "I have chosen this gift from thousands of choices, please accept it, Lord Luo Sect."

Xitao hesitated a little, "This...isn't suitable, you should take it back, my lord."

Nan Gongjing politely smiled and said: "Even if I don't have the fate of master and apprentice with Master Luo, I still want to make friends with this senior, Master Luo. Of course, if Master Luo changes his mind someday, I will be overjoyed." .”

What he said was so sincere, Xitao couldn't shirk anymore, so he had to accept the gift and invite him to drink tea in Tianchenmen.

Nangongjing naturally readily agreed, and the two entered the room to talk for a long time, and they really shared the same interests and had a very happy conversation.

"Why did Young Master Nangong come here suddenly?"

"I heard that Nangongjing wants to worship our sect master as a teacher. They are talking in the front hall now, and they seem to be very happy."

"Our sect master is really powerful. At such a young age, even the son of the city master came to apprentice himself."

"In the future, the son of the city lord will be the apprentice of our sect lord? Shouldn't we follow suit?"

"I'm going to brag to the people in Xichen Pavilion, I think it's beautiful when I think about it."

……

Listening to the guard's conversation, Jiu Ling stood motionless, with a gloomy face and stormy eyes.

Luo Tianchen wants to accept others as disciples so soon?After caring about him falsely, she dropped him cleanly and transferred all the care and teaching for him to Nangongjing.

He thought of Luo Tianchen's appearance these days when he personally held his hand and taught him to read and write, and the corners of his eyes gradually turned red.

He knew clearly in his heart that Nangongjing and Luo Tianchen were people from the same world, they were equally noble, and they were also the favored sons of heaven who were looked up to by all.

Nangongjing's brocade clothes, noble status, are tens of thousands of times better than him, a lowly mermaid. Everyone knows how to choose, let alone Luo Tianchen who is only interested in profit.

Jiu Ling pulled the corner of his mouth coldly, Luo Tianchen probably got carried away by now, and had already completely forgotten about him, he should also have the self-knowledge to go back to that dark corner that belonged to him, as if nothing had happened.

He thought so, but his footsteps did not move a bit. His fingers gradually tightened, his finger bones turned white, and he clenched the verses copied in his hand.

He persistently looked in the direction of the front hall. Xi Tao and Nan Gongjing had been chatting in the front hall for as long as he had stood there for as long as it was getting dark and his body was cold.

Xitao saw off Nangongjing, rang the Yinchuan bell on the way back, and asked Mr. Xuan Xinghe, "Do you know where Sicheng was reincarnated in the first life? How is it now?"

Xuan Xinghe Jundao: "He was reborn in the capital in his first life and suffered from love and parting. His father was a general. Because of framing, his whole family was ransacked and beheaded. He was the only survivor. He lived alone in the world. After going through all kinds of birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hate, and then the suffering of the first life can end."

Xi Tao: "..." Silently shed tears of sympathy for Si Cheng.

Nan Gongjing was neither born in the capital, nor was he the son of a general, so he should not be Sicheng.

Xishui City is a paradise for the capital. As far as he knows, Xishui City has long been cut off from the outside world. People in the capital cannot enter Xishui City, and people in Xishui City cannot go out. It is impossible for Nangongjing to be born in the capital. Si Cheng, he just happens to look like Si Cheng.

Xi Tao came into contact with Nangongjing just now, and found that Nangongjing is gentle and polite, he is a bright young man, and has a gentle attitude towards him. When she looked at him, there was joy in her eyes, so she should have a good impression of him.

Sicheng hated him the first time he saw him, but Nangongjing fell in love with him immediately. It can be seen that they cannot be alone, Xi Tao dispelled his doubts and did not mention Nangongjing.
