Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Jiu Ling put a white velvet embroidered cloak on Xi Tao, and then helped him into the carriage with her own hands.

Xitao sat down in the car, holding the small gold-thread hollow heater that Jiu Ling had just placed in his hand, wearing the warm velvet boots that Yu Qiqi made for him, lying on the window and looking out of the car .

It was sunny, the snow had stopped at some point, the road was covered with white snowflakes, and the people who came and went were wearing thick and bloated clothes.

Jiu Ling sat beside him, and stuffed a bag of candied fruit into his hand, "I bought this for Master on the way back yesterday."

Without even looking at it, Xi Tao picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly. As he expected, the candied fruit bought by Jiu Ling really liked his taste.

He is sweet and can't eat sour, but he prefers snacks with a little sour taste. This kind of sour taste should be just right. If there is more, he will feel sour, and if there is less, he will feel that it lacks some taste. He has never said these things. , but every time Jiu Ling buys snacks that are particularly in line with his taste, it is exactly the taste he likes.

Yu Qiqi was about to go out with a medicine basket on her back, when she saw their carriage, she stood at the door and waved her hands, her pink skirt floated, a touch of spring in winter.

Xi Tao looked at her, thinking of Jiu Ling's spring heart, she couldn't help but ask, "Should I ask Qi Qi to go with me?"

Anyway, he and Jiu Ling had nothing to do and wanted to go out for a stroll, if Yu Qiqi went together, maybe it could enhance her relationship with Jiu Ling.

When he was in the heavenly court, he once heard the fairy lord Magpie Bridge say that love is the most magical magic that can soften a hard-hearted person. He guessed that if Jiuling could have a sweet love, maybe he would love her forever. Goodness, never black again.

Although Xitao felt that her apprentice was already a three-good apprentice, it would be a good thing if she could become even better.

When Jiuling heard his words, not only did he not show joy, but he even frowned. He glanced out of the window, pulled the curtain in front of Xitao with a sullen face, and blocked Xitao's sight tightly. Actions express their refusal.

Xi Tao looked at her good apprentice helplessly. Jiu Ling has always been duplicity and thin-skinned since she was a child, so he must be there. Yu Qiqi can only go out alone.

He quietly chewed the candied fruit in his mouth, thinking absentmindedly, Jiuling and Yu Qiqi were childhood sweethearts, they had suffered a lot together when they were young, and they lived together for many years, although he always felt that the two of them looked like brother and sister , I feel a little awkward thinking that they will be together, but if they are happy with each other, he is also an enlightened master, and he will definitely not stop him, and he should be happy to see it happen.

He took two more bites, and felt that the candied fruit in his mouth was not as delicious as before, so he put the candied fruit aside.

"Don't like it?" Jiuling glanced at the candied fruit that was placed beside him, took out his handkerchief, took his hand, and lowered his head to wipe off his fingers stained with candied fruit juice one by one.

"It's okay." Xi Tao was used to being taken care of by him, and she took it for granted, leaning idly on the carriage and looking at him.

Looking at Jiu Ling's drooping eyebrows, Xi Tao suddenly thought that if she followed the normal course of development, after Jiu Ling turned black, she would not only kill Luo Tianchen, but also break Luo Tianchen's fingers one by one. , the expression may be as pious and serious as it is now.

Xi Tao shuddered, and shrank her fingers back, "Ling'er, I can wipe it myself."

Jiu Ling frowned slightly, and did not let go of Xi Tao's hand. I don't know if it was his illusion. Sometimes the master looked at him with fear, just like now, the master seemed to be avoiding him.

He didn't like this feeling very much, and tried to relax his expression, making his usual cold face softer, and his movements more gentle.

He squeezed Xi Tao's fingers comfortingly, and asked softly, "Where does Master want to go?"

Xi Tao came back to her senses, and under Jiu Ling's comfort, the momentary fear just now quietly dissipated, and she relaxed again.

The apprentice is so gentle now, those things will definitely not happen.

He collected himself, listened to the sound of the wheels creaking on the snow, thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Zhibai Tea House to drink tea and listen to music."

After the snow melts, it is the coldest. Jiuling’s body is not suitable for staying outside for a long time. The special ganoderma lucidum ginkgo tea in Zhibai Teahouse is the most nourishing and nourishing in winter. You can also listen to music and watch operas there. The environment is quite elegant , the ground cage is also well burned, and the inside is as warm as spring, which is a good place to go out in winter.

Naturally, Jiuling would not object, so he wiped Xitao's last finger clean, rubbed Xitao's fingertips lightly, reluctant to let go.

Xi Tao lowered her eyes: "..." The apprentice even has bigger hands than him.

He took his hand back sadly and hid it in his sleeve.

Jiu Ling paused, his fingers hung in the air, and stroked lightly.

There was a lot of people in the Zhibai teahouse, and Jiu Ling took Xi Tao directly to the private room upstairs. The private room was separated by wooden boards and faced the stage downstairs.

After busy work, Jiuling ordered some pastries and a pot of warm almond tea, which Xitao likes to drink in winter.

Xitao was not hungry after eating the candied fruit just now, she just took a few sips of almond tea and looked at the stage downstairs with great interest.

A ditty was babbling on the stage, Xi Tao looked at it interestingly, and stared at it intently for a while, then came to her senses and found that there were many small melon seeds in the small white porcelain dish in front of her.

He looked up and saw that Jiuling was not watching the show on the stage, but was peeling melon seeds for him with his head down, with a serious look, every melon seed kernel was peeled completely by him.

Xi Tao pressed his hand and said: "Ling'er, you can watch the show with peace of mind, you can't eat so much as a teacher."

"I'm not interested in going to the theater."

"Then what are you interested in? We can go to the places you are interested in." Xitao thought for a while, "You can watch shadow puppets in the Feiying Building opposite, and you can enjoy calligraphy and painting in Sanchunyuan on the next street. Where do you want to go?"

Jiu Ling is different from other children, since he was a child, he has never particularly liked anything to play with, and Xi Tao doesn't know what he likes.

Jiuling raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "I just want to be by Master's side. We can do whatever Master likes, and I'll just be with Master."

Xi Tao pursed her lips. Sometimes Jiu Ling was so obedient that he didn't know how to treat Jiu Ling well.

Jiuling seemed to have no desires or desires, as if to him, only his teacher respected him.

Xitao opened her mouth, and was about to persuade her, when she suddenly heard a loud noise from downstairs.

He looked down, and Yang Ganfeng's hideous face appeared at the door. Yang Ganfeng's arms were wrapped in bandages, and a group of people were behind him, looking fierce and menacing.

A gorgeous woman in the middle of the stands downstairs looked back at them and suddenly screamed. She turned around and was about to run, but Yang Ganfeng's people hurriedly stopped her.

She shook her legs, looked back at Xiangyang Ganfeng tremblingly, and said in a scream: "Master! What are you doing in such a big fight!"

Yang Ganfeng's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted sharply: "You bitch! You stole my money again and came out to reward opera actors. See if I don't beat you to death!"

The people downstairs suddenly became chaotic, the woman screamed sharply, Yang Ganfeng led people to chase, the actor fled, the guest officials panicked and hurriedly avoided, and the boys of Zhibai Teahouse rushed to the door to stop and ask for money , became a mess.

Xi Tao lay on the railing on the second floor, watching the grand occasion downstairs, couldn't help laughing in the direction of Yang Ganfeng, this was a joke for nothing, he had to wait a while.

Jiuling smiled slightly, and handed over the white porcelain plate, Xitao obediently grabbed the melon seeds inside and ate it.

The other people upstairs were not in a mess either, they were sitting there discussing one after another, as long as the people below didn't disturb them.

"Why did Pavilion Master Yang get so angry?"

"He's been very angry these days."

"I heard that the disciple who went to capture the shark in the Xichen Pavilion missed again a few days ago. It seems that a group of mysterious masked men in black suddenly jumped out and took the shark away."

Xitao slowed down eating melon seeds, and unconsciously pricked up her ears.

"Since the group of men in black appeared suddenly a few years ago, they have become more and more active in recent years. They have rescued the mermaids again and again. I don't know where they came from. Lord Yang has suffered heavy losses in the past few years. .”

"Isn't that right? The strength of those men in black should not be underestimated. In recent years, they have rescued more and more mermen. However, the dragon can't see the head and tail, come and go without a trace. No matter how many people the city lord sends , can’t even find out who they are.”

The corners of Xi Tao's mouth could not help but curl up proudly. Jiu Ling was smart and steady, and he was able to deal with them with ease. Given time, neither Nangong Zhentian nor Yang Ganfeng would be his opponents.

"I heard that the master of the Yang Pavilion was so angry that he personally took the masters in the pavilion to capture the merman, but it was still useless. The group of mysterious men in black still managed to rescue the merman under his nose. In the process, he was injured in the arm by the leader of the men in black."

"The leader of the men in black has such a high level of cultivation? No wonder they are elusive and elusive."

"Master Yang was already on fire in his heart, and he was injured. After he returned home, this aunt still stole his money to reward opera singers. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?"

"It's no wonder he got so angry, this aunt is so courageous just because she is favored."

Xi Tao couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and gave Jiu Ling an appreciative glance. Yang Ganfeng was one of the best masters in Xishui City, and she didn't expect that Jiu Ling could even hurt Yang Ganfeng.

Seeing the admiration in Master's eyes, Jiu Ling bent his lips, leaned close to Xi Tao's ear and said, "Master, how is your disciple doing?"

Xi Tao silently gave a thumbs up.

He has never been stingy about praising his apprentice.

"Then is there a reward for Master?" Jiu Ling's eyes were full of warmth, and his voice was smiling.

Jiuling was too close, and his scorching breath was blowing on Xitao's ear, Xitao felt a little itchy, couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his ear, and asked casually, "What reward do you want?"

Looking at his red ears, Jiu Ling smiled lightly, then lowered his body and said, "Master pats me like he did when he was a child."

Xi Tao put her hands in her wide sleeves, and couldn't help but smile when she heard what he said, raised her arms and patted Jiu Ling's head twice, and said with a smile, "Ling'er is good."

Jiu Ling curved her lips, her brows and eyes were soft and bright.

The guard said in a respectful voice: "Master, Master Yang Pavilion please see me."

Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the noise downstairs had stopped at some point.

Seeing that the joke was caught, Xi Tao couldn't help but frowned slightly, Yang Ganfeng had nothing to do to deal with housework, what did he come here for?

Although Tianchenmen and Xichenge are both one of the three sects in Xishui City, they have always made money by their own abilities. After Tianchenmen stopped doing business with mermaids in the past few years, there is no competition. Tianchen and Yang Ganfeng also have no friendship.

Cough, Jiu Ling secretly robbed the Merman doesn't count.

Jiu Ling restrained her coquettish look just now, stood up straight and said, "If Master doesn't want to see him, I'll go and refuse for you."

Xi Tao really didn't want to see Yang Ganfeng's coffin face, but as the master of the sect, he couldn't leave everything to his disciples.

He thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let him come over."

Yang Ganfeng was very ostentatious. After going upstairs, he cleared out all the guests in the whole Zhibai teahouse. The teahouse that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet. Dare to speak out.

Xi Tao showed Luo Tianchen's cold and arrogant appearance, sitting at the table with a straight posture, her eyes were indifferent, seeing Yang Ganfeng lifting her chin lukewarmly, and Jiuling standing behind him, her expression was exactly the same as his.

When Yang Ganfeng saw them, he smiled ambiguously, came over and opened his clothes and sat down opposite Xi Tao. Jiu Ling picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for them both.

Yang Ganfeng looked at Xitao and said, "I have something to discuss with Master Luo, can Master Luo stand aside and talk to me alone?"

Xitao nodded and told the surrounding guards to retreat to the door.

Yang Ganfeng raised his eyes, glanced at Jiu Ling who was standing still, and said coldly, "You go down too."

Xi Tao said: "Master Yang Pavilion, Ling'er is my apprentice, so there is no need to shy away from it."

Yang Ganfeng glanced at Jiu Ling again, and said with a smirk: "Everyone says that Master Luo loves his disciples, it seems that the rumors are true."

Xitao didn't deny it, "I made Master Yang laugh."

Jiuling brought the tea to Yang Ganfeng, with such a thoughtful etiquette that no one could fault it, "Master Yang, please use the tea."

Xi Tao's eyes fell on Yang Ganfeng's injured arm, and she secretly bent her lips. Jiu Ling looked respectful and polite, but she really couldn't tell that he was the culprit who hurt Yang Ganfeng.

Yang Ganfeng squinted his eyes and looked at Jiu Ling's eyes. He originally thought that Jiu Ling was just a plaything of Luo Tianchen, and he didn't care at all. But after so many years, although Jiu Ling has been silent, unconsciously, He has already gained a firm foothold in the Tianchen Sect and is just showing his edge.

Jiu Ling is a mermaid, but he has been respected by the Tianchen Sect, which has never happened in Xishui City.

It is obviously not as simple as a plaything that he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Luo Tianchen.

Yang Ganfeng stood in the dark for a moment, looked away, said 'hmm' calmly, took the teacup and moistened his throat.

Xitao also bowed his head and took a sip of tea. He always had this expressionless and indifferent appearance in front of outsiders. He was dressed in white and snowy, making it difficult for people to get close.

Yang Ganfeng pondered for a moment, seeing that Xitao refused to let Jiuling leave, he had no choice but to ask, "Master Luo knows that a mysterious organization has recently appeared in Xishui City?"

Xi Tao paused, pretending not to know, and asked, "What organization?"

Yang Ganfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and pondered: "This organization has only emerged in recent years. They specialize in helping sharks. The people in my pavilion have met them several times, and they always wear veils. , making people unable to tell their real identities, the leader of this organization will leave behind a red lotus every time he saves a shark, so we call him Master Liansha."

Xi Tao cast a vague glance at Jiu Ling, "Lian kills the young master, sounds pretty cool."

Jiu Ling stood with lowered eyebrows, and secretly bent her lower lip to Xi Tao.

Yang Ganfeng continued: "This group of people come and go like ghosts and ghosts. We have been investigating for a long time but we can't find out their identities. The only thing we can be sure of is that they came to help the sharks."

Xi Tao nodded, pretending to listen carefully.

Yang Ganfeng paused, and then changed the subject: "Master Luomen, it's strange to say that my big apprentice seemed to see a merman who was rescued by him enter Tianchenmen yesterday. If you don't catch Merren again in [-], there shouldn't be any new faces, it's really strange, does the sect master know about this?"

Xi Tao had expected that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she took a sip of her tea calmly and asked calmly, "Did he get it wrong?"

Yang Ganfeng smiled and said aggressively: "My apprentice has nothing but a pair of eyes that can see thousands of miles away, and he will never admit his mistake."

Xi Tao groaned for a while, thinking about countermeasures in her heart. It seemed that Yang Ganfeng had already noticed some clues, so she deliberately tried it today.

Jiuling said from the side: "Master, there was indeed a mermaid who sneaked into the Tianchen Gate a few days ago. I have already dealt with it, because you didn't inform you when you were retreating."

Xitao glanced at Jiuling appreciatively, and nodded slightly pretending to be enlightened, "So that's the case, Pavilion Master Yang, I was negligent."

Yang Ganfeng shifted his gaze to Jiuling's face, and smiled inexplicably: "Master Luomen is getting more and more handsome, and it's rare to see such an outstanding face among sharks."

Jiu Ling is the master of the mermaids, and his appearance is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary mermaids.

Xi Tao said calmly, "Thank you, Master Yang, for your compliment."

Yang Ganfeng didn't mention what happened just now, and said: "After half a month, there will be the Mingxi Conference in Xishui City every ten years. At that time, you and I will be the leaders, and all sects in Xishui City will attend. The disciples will compete together to see who is the new generation of heroes in Xishui City, do you have the confidence to win the ranking?"

Jiu Ling's position as the Young Sect Leader in Tianchen Sect is secure, but people outside Tianchen Sect don't know how much he weighs. So I want to take this opportunity to explore his abilities.

Xi Tao naturally knew what he was thinking, and said with a slight smile, "Ling'er practices kung fu mainly for physical fitness, ranking is not important."

Jiuling is now the leader of the men in black, so naturally he has to keep a low profile. He didn't want Jiuling to reveal his true abilities, so he didn't care about the rankings. Jiuling is not a competitive person. As far as Jiu Ling was concerned, it was useless at all.

Yang Ganfeng raised his eyebrows noncommittally, just thinking that he was being modest. The Mingxi Conference was a good time for the disciples of various factions to make their mark and become a blockbuster. The winner would be rewarded with treasures from each faction. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity .

Luo Tianchen was the winner of the last Mingxi Conference, and the Luoshui sword he is using now is a treasure obtained at the Mingxi Conference.

Yang Ganfeng didn't believe that he would let Jiuling give up such a good opportunity. He touched his chin and looked at Jiuling inquiringly. He guessed that Jiuling must be hiding something now, and deliberately let everyone relax their vigilance. Unexpectedly, blockbuster.

Yang Ganfeng smiled lightly, and suddenly said: "It's strange to say that the Tianchen Sect has stopped doing business with mermaids these years, but the inside of the Sect is still as rich as ever. Yang has been curious about this for a long time. What's the trick?"

Xi Tao smiled slowly, and pretended to be teasing: "This matter is closed to make a living, if I tell Master Yang, what can Master Yang do to steal my business?"

"Master Luomen was joking, Mr. Yang is not Mr. Liansha, how could he cut off other people's money?"

"Then I will not hide from the Lord of the Yang Pavilion. In fact, there is no other business. The Tianchen Sect just no longer slaughters and sells mermaids. It has been doing business like mermaids and pearls. In the past two years, the mermaids in the sect have lived comfortably. , the crocodile silk weaves is getting more and more beautiful, the pearls are getting brighter and brighter, and they are sought after by people, and the selling price is higher than usual. These things are enough to make life safe for everyone in the door. If Master Yang is willing to do the same, It is a good thing to stop killing and buying and selling."

He couldn't help but took the opportunity to persuade him a few words, what he said was true, the crocodile silk and pearls produced by Tianchenmen were getting better and better. The human race made these crocodile silk into beautiful clothes and embroidered them with beautiful patterns. The two races cooperated tacitly and gradually compared the things of other sects. The better, it is not difficult for the two races to live in peace.

Yang Ganfeng sneered, and spit: "Mermen are animals, and animals are used for trading and slaughtering. Master Luomen is really too benevolent for women."

Jiuling's expression sank suddenly, he gave Yang Ganfeng a stern look, lowered his head, and covered the expression on his face.

Xitao obviously felt that the immortality in her body was lost in an instant, "..." Yang Ganfeng, if you blacken my apprentice's anger, I will make trouble!

Yang Ganfeng also seemed to feel the coldness around Jiu Ling, looked up at Jiu Ling, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Young sect master doesn't agree with my words?"

Jiu Ling raised a cold arc on his lips, and said indifferently and sarcastically, "Because the mermaids are not of the same kind, the master Yang thinks that the mermaids are animals, so how should the mermaids treat such a cold-blooded person as the master of the Yang pavilion? Is the Master of the Yang Pavilion an animal in the eyes of the sharks?"

Pavilion Master Yang was slow to realize that Jiu Ling was scolding him, couldn't help but slapped the table angrily, and shouted: "You yellow-mouthed kid, how can you be so rude!"

Jiuling cupped his hands expressionlessly, still behaved politely.

Xi Tao is now becoming more and more protective of the calf, and cannot tolerate others saying nothing about her apprentice.

He blocked Jiu Ling calmly, and said coldly: "Master Yang, Ling'er is young, don't worry about it."

Yang Ganfeng is Nangong Zhentian's right-hand man and has done a lot of dirty things for Nangong Zhentian. In terms of it, Yang Ganfeng is also one of Jiuling's mother-killing enemies.

Yang Ganfeng saw their master and apprentice singing together, no matter how angry they were, there was no room for them to lose their temper.

His eyes were as cold as a knife, he gouged out Jiu Ling, looked at Xi Tao, and asked with a gloomy expression, "You really don't want to catch the shark again?"

Xi Tao's face was cold, "Master Yang Pavilion, everyone has his own ambition."

Xitao gave up completely. In Yang Ganfeng's eyes, sharks are just animals that can be slaughtered casually. This is his deep-rooted idea and cannot be easily changed.

Yang Ganfeng stared at Xi Tao uncertainly for a while, squinting his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Xi Tao looked at him calmly, her eyes were calm.

After a while, Yang Ganfeng withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea and said, "Since that's the case, I don't need to say more. There is no need to mention this matter."

He waved his hand back, and a disciple brought two jugs of wine, bowed and retreated.

"Since you and I are the leaders of the three major sects in Xishui City, there is no need to hurt our peace because of this matter." Yang Ganfeng calmed down and said, "It is fate that we meet here by chance, and I happen to have two jugs of wine in my carriage , give it to Lord Luomen to taste."

Xi Tao's eyes fell on the delicate jug, and she pondered for a while, "What kind of wine is this?"

"It's my freshly brewed Qingxin wine from Xichen Pavilion, master Luomen, does it suit your taste?"

Xitao's eyes lit up slightly. After he came to Xishui City, he heard that the Qingxin Wine from Xichen Pavilion was sweet and refreshing. I want to see if it is really more beautiful than being a fairy, but I have never had a chance.

Yang Ganfeng personally bought a glass of wine for Xitao and handed it to him, "Please."

Jiuling frowned slightly, took the Qingxin wine from Yang Ganfeng's hand, took out the silver needle for testing poison and said, "Does Master Yang not mind?"

"Please go ahead." Yang Ganfeng grinned, and said in a strange way: "Could it be that the master of Luomen has done a lot of bad things, so he is so careful about eating?"

Unmoved, Jiu Ling lowered his head, tried Qingxin wine with a silver needle, and retorted lightly: "My master is open-minded, but there are many ghosts and monsters in Xishui City. It looks like a human, but it is difficult to distinguish between a human and a ghost, so I, as an apprentice, can only be careful."

Yang Ganfeng's face turned blue, and he was too angry to speak.

After Jiu Ling verified that it was not poisonous, he first poured himself a glass of wine, tasted it carefully, and then nodded slightly to Xi Tao after confirming that it was all right.

Xi Tao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass.

Jiu Ling pressed his hand and said in a low voice, "Master, I can only have one drink."

Xi Tao smelled the aroma of wine and nodded hastily.

Yang Ganfeng looked at them coldly, "Lord Luomen, your apprentice is quite a character, you have a good tongue, and you don't know how to speak, but you are still loyal to you."

When Xi Tao heard someone praising his apprentice, he didn't bother to tell if Yang Ganfeng was mocking him. He just listened to the first half of the sentence and couldn't wait to say: "My apprentice is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men, much better than your apprentices who are full of wine and food. Thank you Yang The lord praises."

"..." Yang Ganfeng's face turned blue and white, white and green again, this time he was so angry that he had nothing to say.

He felt that Luo Tianchen was deliberately provoking, but Luo Tianchen's face was still cold and dignified, without the slightest hint of provocation, he kept his breath stuck in his throat, not knowing whether to get angry or not.

Xitao ignored Yang Ganfeng's colorful face, and took a sip from the wine glass. The Qingxin wine tasted sweet, and it was indeed a good wine. He squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and drank the whole glass with his head raised.

"As expected of the wine from Xichen Pavilion, the fruit is extraordinary."

However, it is still not as good as the fruit wine brewed for him by his apprentice himself.

Yang Ganfeng glanced at the bottomed wine glass, slightly suppressed his anger, and calmed down, "If Master Luo likes it, I'll send you some more in the future."

"That's a good relationship." Xi Tao pursed her lips and smiled.

Yang Ganfeng looked at the smile on Xi Tao's face, and his eyes moved. Although Luo Tianchen's face was not stunning, his temperament has become more noble and cold in recent years, and his temperament seems to be dusty, which makes people unconscious Set your eyes on him.

Yang Ganfeng said: "Speaking of which, in the past few years, Master Luo has often practiced in closed doors and seldom went out. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Master Luo's demeanor really remains the same as before."

Xi Tao nodded perfunctorily, looking helplessly at the jug in Jiu Ling's hand, he wanted to have another drink.

Naturally, Jiu Ling knew what he was thinking, smiled at him, and then moved the jug to the side.

Xitao: "..."

Yang Ganfeng said: "Master Luomen, Yang remembers that when you were young and flirtatious, you lost the hearts of many girls when you were wandering around. To this day, the poems and paintings you made for girls are still circulated in the market. It's a pity. You only love money, and you leave as soon as you finish flirting, passing through thousands of flowers without touching your body. It is really chic."

Xi Tao didn't expect that Luo Tianchen was not only insane, but also a playboy, but fortunately Luo Tianchen didn't marry a few beautiful ladies back, otherwise he would really be difficult to deal with now.

When Jiu Ling heard Yang Ganfeng's words, she glanced at him silently, her eyes darkened.

Xitao: "..." Don't look at me, I didn't do it!

Yang Ganfeng continued: "You seldom go out these few years. I heard that those girls are very sad, and they often hang around the gate of Tianchen Gate. They just want to see your demeanor again."

Xi Tao: "..." Why have you heard so many things?

You majestic master of the faction, don't listen to gossip when you are free!

Yang Ganfeng said thoughtfully: "Do the math, Lord Luomen has also reached the age for marrying a wife. I wonder if Lord Luomen has someone he likes in his heart?"

It was the first time for Xi Tao to be urged to marry, and she felt a little fresh. Looking at Yang Ganfeng with bright eyes, she shook her head slightly.

Looking at Xi Tao's brightened eyes, Jiu Ling frowned, her jaw tightened.

He was at a loss for a moment, if the master married a wife, would he still be the closest person to the master?

He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he just felt that his breath was stuffed in his chest, and the tip of his tongue was bitter.

Seeing him shaking his head, Yang Ganfeng continued: "If Master Luomen doesn't have a favorite candidate, there is a woman in my pavilion who is beautiful and beautiful. She is the daughter of the former pavilion master and my junior sister. Sect Master, does Sect Master need me to introduce you?"

Xitao opened his mouth. Although he felt strange about urging marriage, he had no plans to get married in the mortal world. His next task this time was Jiu Ling, so it was impossible to marry a wife and have children here.

Seeing that he was about to open his lips to speak, Jiu Ling clenched his fists, and said without thinking, "Thank you, Master Yang, for your kindness, but my master is usually busy, and I haven't thought about getting married yet, so I don't bother the Pavilion." Lord."

"I didn't think about it before, but now I can think about it in time, you have many teachers and wives..."

"No need." Jiu Ling refused straight away, and said with a calm face, "My master doesn't need it."

He can take care of the master's diet and daily life, and he can also be with the master all the time. He doesn't want a teacher's wife.

Xi Tao closed her mouth, and all the apprentices he wanted to say helped him.

Yang Ganfeng sneered, and said sarcastically: "Master Luomen, you still need your apprentice to make decisions about your marriage? It may be that Yang is ignorant. Since ancient times, I have only heard that the master makes decisions about the marriage of apprentices, but I have never heard of it." Let the apprentice decide the master's marriage."

The corner of Jiuling's mouth pressed down, and his eyes stayed on Yang Ganfeng's injured arm, as if regretting that he hadn't cut it harder.

Xitao looked indifferent, and said kindly: "Don't hide it from Pavilion Master Yang, with me, what the disciple means is what I mean."

The master of this sect is a habitual apprentice, what can you do to me.

Jiu Ling relaxed her whole body, turned her head and looked at Xi Tao softly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly uncontrollably.

Yang Ganfeng clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and snorted with displeasure: "What kind of ecstasy soup did your apprentice pour into you to make you love him so much?"

Xi Tao raised her eyebrows without comment, and quietly leaned over to get the jug on the table.

Jiuling put the jug a little far away, and it took him a long time to touch the jug with his fingers. His eyes lit up, and as soon as he was about to pick it up, Jiu Ling moved the jug away first.

Jiu Ling raised his eyebrows, took away the empty wine glass in his hand, and stuffed a cup of tea into his hand.

Xi Tao looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, "..." What he wanted to drink was wine.

He was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to lower his head and take a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.

The tea flowed down his throat, and he was so bitter that he almost spit it out.

He was about to burst into tears, and frowned, but because of Yang Ganfeng's presence, he reluctantly swallowed the bitter tea.

What the boy gave him was Kuding tea, which tasted bitter and cold, and he had always disliked drinking this kind of tea.

He was very melancholy, and he didn't know where he offended his apprentice again.

He tried his best to maintain a cool look, but in fact, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his face was almost wrinkled.

Jiu Ling curled his lips almost imperceptibly, and finally looked completely good, and handed him a piece of candied fruit.

Xi Tao quickly ate the candied fruit, and when the sweetness of the candied fruit suppressed the bitterness, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and gave Jiu Ling a gloomy look.

Jiu Ling calmly said: "Master, Kuding tea clears fire and produces fluid, which is good for the body. You should drink more."

Xi Tao put down the teacup: "..." He doesn't drink whoever likes to drink.

Yang Ganfeng looked at the two of them, master and apprentice, with a dark look in his eyes.

When leaving Zhibai Teahouse, Xitao didn't forget to ask Jiuling to bring the two pots of Qingxin wine with her.

Xi Tao walked in front, and when he stepped down the last step, his body shook. He supported Jiu Ling's hand stretched out from behind, shook his head slightly, and continued to walk forward.

The Qingxin Wine from Xichen Pavilion seemed to be stronger than he had imagined, his vision gradually dimmed, and his footsteps became unsteady.

Jiu Ling had no choice but to support him from behind, bent down and hugged him into the carriage, and said helplessly, "I'm drunk now, it seems that Master won't be able to drink a cup next time."

Xi Tao glanced at the two jugs of Qingxin wine in Jiuling's hand, shook his head vigorously, almost made himself dizzy, and murmured with dizzy eyes: "Nonsense, I'm not drunk for the teacher."

Jiuling smiled lightly, and helped him sit down in the carriage.

Xi Tao leaned on Jiu Ling's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Master Liansha, why did you leave behind a red lotus after you saved the shark?"

He wanted to ask just now, but never found a chance.

Jiu Ling curled her lower lip, "Qi Qi said that Nangong Zhentian hates lotus flowers, especially red lotus."

Xitao smiled, Yu Qiqi was eccentric and had the most ghostly ideas.

Jiuling glanced at the sky outside, "Do you want to go back to Tianchenmen now?"

Xi Tao reached out and pressed her forehead, her clear eyes gradually dimmed.

He said vaguely: "Go to the calligraphy and painting workshop, I want to buy some books."

He was a little dizzy before his eyes, and he closed his eyes after speaking. Jiu Ling let him lie on his lap, and stretched out his hand to press his forehead. The movements were gentle, much more comfortable than pressing himself.

He Xitao put down his hand without hesitation, lay down on Jiuling's lap and dozed off.

I don't know how long it took, Xi Tao woke up in a daze, sobered up a little, and the carriage had already arrived at the painting and calligraphy workshop.

Xi Tao was helped out of the carriage by Jiu Ling. Although her footsteps were still a little weak, she was much more awake.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and greeted him with a smile on his face, "What do you two gentlemen want to buy? This shop is complete with calligraphy and painting, everything you need."

Xitao wanted to find two books to understand the relationship between men and women, so that he could give a few words to his apprentice when he was in love, but now that his apprentice was present, he couldn't say it directly, so he thought for a while and said, "I want to buy some scripts."

There are not only ghost stories in the story book, but also a lot of descriptions of the love between men and women. He may gain something from it by reading a few more books.

The shopkeeper led them to the bookshelf where the story books were placed, and while leading the way, he boasted, "Mr. You can have any style you want…”

Jiu Ling leaned close to Xi Tao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Master, why do you want to read the script all of a sudden?"

Xi Tao pursed her lips, and said dryly: "I'm bored, just take a look..."

Poor teachers in the world are respectful, being a teacher is all for you
