Xitao is full of confidence in her heart, thinking that both the apprentice and Xishui City will get better and better, as long as the mermaids and the human race can coexist peacefully, then the apprentice will never be blackened one day!

The more he thought about it, the happier he was, and he swallowed the dishes slowly. The dishes on the table were all his favorite dishes. There was no garlic or carrots in the dishes. Jiuling always disliked him as a picky eater before, but now he is feeding him Even more expensive, almost everything can be done according to his wishes.

"During this operation, did you hurt the human race?"

A cold light flashed in Jiuling's eyes, and he shook his head, "I told them not to hurt others as much as possible, and this operation is the same, only a few people were slightly injured."

Xi Tao said earnestly: "Ling'er, I know you still have hatred for the human race, but after many years and the changes in the world, many people in Xishui City don't know the plight of the mermaids back then, and there are innocent people among them who can't In a nutshell."

Jiuling raised her eyes to look at Xitao, the gloom that flashed in her eyes just now disappeared instantly, and turned into a warm feeling.

"I understand, Master, I only hate those who kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I will not regard all races as bad people. I believe that there are good people like you who are kind and kind in the human race."

Xitao felt a little overjoyed after being praised by her apprentice, and her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He took a sip of tea, barely suppressed the corners of his mouth that kept rising, and said in a persuasive way: "Ling'er, since you think Master is a good person, as Master's apprentice, don't you want to be a good person too?"

He never forgets the mission of going down to earth, and seizes any opportunity to remind his apprentice to be a good person.

Jiu Ling raised her hand to wipe the water stains on Xi Tao's lips, and said, "Master, I will try my best."

Xi Tao comforted herself, don't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to take it step by step, at least now the apprentice is actively doing good, and that's enough.

He picked up the hibiscus cake on the white porcelain plate and took a bite. The hibiscus cake was sweet and soft, and it melted in the mouth.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and asked inarticulately, "Where did this pastry come from?"

"Qiqi did it."

Xitao nodded, and then vaguely remembered that Yu Qiqi seemed to have come here before, and brought a food box, and he gave Yu Qiqi all the newly acquired medicinal materials by the way, and then went to drink with the jug .

He ate the soft and glutinous pastry, and couldn't help sighing: "Time flies, Qiqi has grown into a slim and tall girl."

Yu Qiqi is smart and capable, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has ingenuity, she is no longer the cowardly and timid girl she was back then.

Time flies by, and before he knows it, he has been here for eight years, and now he is getting more and more used to the life here, Jiuling and Yu Qiqi have grown up and are gradually able to be independent.

Jiu Ling lowered his eyes, poked the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks, and said in a muffled voice: "Since Master knows that Qi Qi is already a big girl, he should understand whether men and women can kiss or not, and keep a distance from her."

Xi Tao froze for a moment, "How do you keep your distance?"

He watched Yu Qiqi grow up, just like his own sister, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with him.

Jiu Ling pursed her lower lip, frowned, and said, "Just like just now, when I wasn't here, how could you let a girl like Qi Qi stay in your room alone? It wouldn't sound good if it got out."

Xi Tao was stunned, what does this have to do with your presence?

"And some time ago, you injured your back, how could you ask a girl named Qiqi to give you a massage? If I hadn't arrived in time, would you still have to take off your clothes and ask her to rub the medicinal wine on you?"

Xi Tao blinked her eyes, Yu Qiqi is a female doctor now, she has seen many people's backs, isn't massage, acupuncture, rubbing medicinal wine very common?

"Half a year ago, you accompanied Qiqi to the mountain to collect herbs, how could you two go alone without notifying me?"

Xi Tao: "..." Do you still remember what happened half a year ago?

"It was the same last year. When Qiqi went out for consultation, it happened to be rainy. Just tell me to pick her up. Why did you go out with an umbrella without saying a word? You even fell down and asked me to carry you back in the end." .”

Xi Tao: "..." Don't bring up the old scores if the master is ashamed.

Seeing his apprentice getting more and more angry, he couldn't help being a little stunned, why did the apprentice care so much about his getting along with Yu Qiqi?And remember everything so clearly.

Xi Tao slightly raised her eyebrows, and suddenly had an idea, and looked Jiu Ling up and down a few times.

Jiu Ling is 19 years old this year, and Yu Qi is 77 years old. The two of them are at a good age for spring hearts to sprout. Could it be... Jiu Ling likes Yu Qiqi?

The more Xitao thought about it, the more suspicious she became, and she couldn't help but look at Jiu Ling twice more, with complex eyes in surprise, not only pleased that the apprentice had grown up, but also felt that the apprentice had grown up too fast.

Jiu Ling was stunned by him, and his voice was slightly stagnant, "What's wrong?"

Xi Tao looked away, feeling a little worried. He had done all the things that enlightened Jiu Ling over the years, but he was really helpless in the matter of feelings.

He has been ruthless and loveless in the heavenly court for hundreds of years, and he has never been tempted by anyone. It can be said that he knows nothing about feelings. Even if he wants to enlighten Jiu Ling, he is powerless.

He coughed lowly, and could only say: "Ling'er, as a teacher, I will keep a proper distance from Qiqi in the future."

Jiu Ling's eyebrows stretched, and he picked up a piece of homemade peach blossom cake for him, "Master, just tell me what you want to eat in the future."

Xitao absently took a bite of the peach blossom crisps, and decided to find two books about feelings tomorrow and read them secretly, so as to guide his apprentices in the future.

Peach Blossom Cake is crispy and soft, and it is fragrant when you bite into it. Xitao has always liked to eat it the most, and he quickly forgot the plate of hibiscus cake.

Xitao was biting the peach blossom crisps in her mouth, and was soon immersed in the sweet and sweet taste, eating with relish.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the peach blossom crisps on the gilded dinner plate. He slowed down his chewing, hesitated for a while, and reluctantly pushed the plate towards Jiu Ling, "Ling'er, I can't eat it for my teacher. You can send it to Jiu Ling." Go and give some to Qiqi."

Yu Qiqi is obsessed with medical skills, and doesn't like rouge and gouache, nor silk and satin. The pastry made by Jiu Ling is enough to express his heart, and it should be beneficial to their relationship.

Xitao looked at the delicious peach blossom cakes, and licked his lips with insatiable desire. He only ate one piece, which was not enough.

Jiu Ling's eyes fell on his pink and moist lips, his eyelids jumped, and he looked away.

His voice was muffled, and he said as if angry: "The food I made with my own hands is only for Master to eat. If Master doesn't want it, just throw it away."

"...as a teacher, it seems that I can still eat a little bit." Xi Tao didn't want to, and hurriedly dragged the gilded dinner plate back.

While eating peach blossom cakes, he sighed silently in his heart, Ling'er, you won't be able to marry a lady like this.

The moonlight is like water, the crooked moon is hanging in the sky, the snow is falling, and the inside of Tianchen Gate is white and quiet.

It's cold outside Luoshui Residence, but it's as warm as spring inside Luoshui Residence. Xitao knows that a mermaid's body is cold and afraid of the cold, so every winter, people burn the earth dragon inside the house to keep it warm. of.

After taking a bath, Xitao was wearing a thin shirt, sitting on the warm kang with the quilt in her arms, watching the falling snow outside.

Jiuling wiped his hair and came out of the hot spring connected to the back of the house. He was wearing a loose outer shirt. Water droplets rolled down his neckline and fell on his chest muscles with clear texture. His smooth skin glowed under the candlelight. moist light.

He didn't wear shoes on his feet, and stepped on the ground with bare feet. Master knew that he was afraid of the cold, and people kept burning the ground dragon in winter. Whenever he walked in, it was warm and cozy. Those colorful gemstones on the bed have all been replaced with smooth warm jade, and a thick cashmere blanket is spread on it, which is very comfortable to step on.

Everywhere in this room is warm, just like when he was by Master's side, as if the pores of his whole body were open, comfortable and warm.

His hair was scattered behind him, and his eyes were dark and deep. He looked different from the indifference and alienation of the day, and looked handsome and unruly.

Xitao turned her head and took only one look before withdrawing her gaze, and said casually, "Put on your clothes well, don't catch a cold."

The little mermaid is very precious, she doesn't suffer from cold at all, she will catch a cold if she is not careful, Jiu Ling doesn't like to drink medicine every time she catches a cold, she has to be coaxed by his master before she is willing to drink medicine obediently.

Xi Tao held her chin and continued to look at the falling snow outside. Fortunately, Jiu Ling came back today. If he came back tomorrow, the road might be blocked by snow.

"Master is admiring the snow?" Jiu Ling moved to Xi Tao's side and tossed her hair mischievously.

Xi Tao was slapped in the face by him, "..."

He couldn't help but glanced at Jiu Ling. Sometimes this apprentice was mature like an adult, and sometimes mischievous like a child. It was difficult for him to be a master.

Jiuling laughed and sat on the bed, snatched half of the quilt from Xitao's body, squeezed beside him, and said coquettishly, "Master, Ling'er is cold."

"You know it's cold and you don't dry your hair before you come out."

Xi Tao reprimanded her, and when she turned her head to see Jiu Ling's slightly pale lips, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

He let Jiu Ling lie down angrily, turned his fingers a few times, and used spells to help Jiu Ling dry his hair bit by bit.

In the past few years, he managed to raise Jiu Ling's body well, catch up with his peers, and even grow taller than his peers, but he couldn't let him get sick easily.

Jiu Ling is tall, thin and powerful. Although he still has the unique frailty of young people, he has a high level of cultivation, and his body is usually better than ordinary people, but in winter, he seems to be in a weak stage. He is extraordinarily fragile. I don’t know Is it because of his physique that he is particularly prone to cold in winter, and he will get sick if he is not careful.

Xi Tao had observed other mermen, and although those mermen were also afraid of the cold, they did not become weak in winter like Jiu Ling.

Whenever Jiuling reaches the 'weak period', she likes to be clingy, and always moves to Xitao's side to keep warm, hugs Xitao and refuses to let go, wishing to stick with Xitao all the time.

The author has something to say: Eight years ago, Xi Tao: Why doesn't my apprentice like me?

Eight years later, Xitao: My apprentice likes me too much, what should I do?
