Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Xitao sat in the carriage with the book in his hands and fell asleep. He was already drunk, and when he was choosing the script just now, his eyes were dazzled and he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

Jiu Ling gathered the cloak on Xi Tao's body, Shen Mou glanced at the scriptures he was holding in his arms, feeling a little impetuous.

The butler finished handling the bills in the accounting room, and when he walked out the door, he saw the young door master walking in from outside the door holding the sleeping door master. The door master was wearing a white velvet cloak, leaning against the young door master's arms, only revealing With a palm-sized clean face and slightly red cheeks, it looks like he has drunk alcohol.

He was about to pay his respects when he found that the young master's thin lips were tightly pressed, his face was as deep as water, and his eyes were calm and pretentious. He hesitated for a moment, and hid in the accountant's room.

Although the young sect master's temperament is cold and alienated, he seldom gets angry, especially in the past few years, the gloom on the young sect master's body has dissipated a lot, and now he looks like a cheerful and upright young man, but today Why, the young sect master's face is so ugly, he thought about it, and thought it's better not to provoke the young sect master, so as not to hurt Chi Yu.

Xitao seldom makes trouble after being drunk, but he is groggy and sleepy easily. He slept all afternoon before waking up. He missed lunch. When he woke up, he was hungry, his limbs were limp, and he felt that he was almost too hungry to wake up. .

"Ling'er." Xi Tao called out in a daze, her throat slightly dry.

Jiu Ling put down the chess piece in his hand, brought him a cup of tea, and moistened his lips.

Xi Tao drank a few sips of tea, her voice was still soft, "I'm hungry, teacher."

"The meal is ready."

Xitao got up from the bed, and couldn't help but smile when she smelled the aroma of the food, she was still a caring apprentice.

He looked at the sumptuous meals on the round table, his eyes lit up, he walked over to sit down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

He ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and drank a few mouthfuls of fresh shrimp soup. He was eating vigorously when his movements suddenly froze.

He frowned slightly, looked down at the soup in the bowl, and then looked up at the various dishes on the table.

"Why is there garlic on every plate?"

He sipped the taste in his mouth, poked around in the soup bowl with his chopsticks, and sure enough, he saw a piece of fresh carrot.

"...and carrots?"

Jiuling knew his taste very well, it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake, if he did, it must be on purpose.

Jiu Ling sat down next to him, and said with a harmless face: "Master, I see that you have been weak recently, and I want to make up for you."

He picked up a piece of garlic and put it on the plate in front of Xitao, "Master, you can taste it. In fact, the taste of garlic and carrots is not bad. You may be able to accept it after a few more tries."

The corner of Xitao's mouth twitched, she pushed the plate away, looked at Jiu Ling and asked angrily, "Ling'er, has anyone bullied you in the door recently?"

Jiu Ling smiled, "Master, everyone in the Tianchen sect knows that you love me very much, and no one dares to bully me."

Xi Tao swallowed her saliva, "Then...what's wrong with your life recently?"

Jiu Ling shook his head, "No."

"Then..." Xi Tao thought for a while, "Does Ling'er want anything?"

Jiuling still shook his head, "No."

Xi Tao frowned, not knowing what to do, and looked at Jiu Ling with her lips pursed.

Jiu Ling raised her eyes, and changed the subject: "But I'm curious about one thing."

Xi Tao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yang Ganfeng said that there are still poems and paintings made by the master for those women in the market, but the disciple has never seen the paintings and poems made by the master for so long. I wonder if the disciple may be lucky enough to see them?"

Xitao wants to cry but has no tears. The person who messed around with women back then was Luo Tianchen, not him.

He is innocent!

Xi Tao thought for a while, then took out the money bag and handed it to Jiuling, "I'll give you money for my teacher, you can go to the market to buy it yourself."

Anyway, it was Luo Tianchen who was ashamed, and had nothing to do with him.

Jiuling stared deeply, "Master, those paintings and poems of yours, the ones in the paintings are women, and the characters are also women. I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to buy them and hang them in the house."

Xi Tao thinks about it too, Luo Tianchen may not be able to tell what he drew, or what he wrote, maybe it's all obscenities, but he can't stain his apprentice's eyes.

Jiuling looked at him and said, "Master, why don't you draw a picture or write a poem for the disciple, so that the disciple can observe it?"

He knew that Luo Tianchen, not his master, was the head of the romantic family who wrote poems and paintings everywhere, but when he thought of what Yang Ganfeng said, he felt uncomfortable, as if the master gave something to others, and he even I have never seen the same.

Xi Tao pondered slightly, his poems and paintings must be different from Luo Tianchen's. Since Luo Tianchen's poems and paintings are widely circulated in the market, his poems and paintings are likely to be taken by interested people to Luo Tianchen. Comparing Tianchen's poems and paintings may arouse everyone's suspicion, so he must not paint or write poems.

He pursed his lips and said tactfully: "Ling'er, both poetry and painting need inspiration. As a teacher, I don't have any inspiration now, so I'm afraid I can't do it."

Looking at his frowning brows, Jiu Ling understood that he had something to hide. Thinking about it carefully, there was indeed a risk of being exposed.

He thought for a while, and then he had an idea: "Since the master doesn't want to take up the pen, how about allowing the disciple to draw you?"

Xitao hesitated for a moment, looking at the garlic-flavored food on the table, she could only pretend to be calm and nodded, "Yes."

Tears flowed in his heart, as long as he was not allowed to eat garlic and carrots, Jiu Ling could paint whatever he wanted, if he ate such food every day in the future, he would really have a hard time living.

Jiu Ling bent his lips and smiled, removed the garlic from the plate, took another plate, and carefully picked out the carrots and garlic from the soup bowl.

Holding the soup bowl without garlic and carrots, Xi Tao instantly forgot about Jiu Ling's coercion and temptation just now, looked up and smiled at Jiu Ling, and happily drank the soup.

After dinner, Xitao actively asked, "Ling'er, how do you want to paint, and what pose do you need to pose for the teacher?"

Jiu Ling bent her lips, and stretched out her hand to straighten Xi Tao's slightly messy black hair, "Master, just do whatever you want."

Xitao nodded, holding the new scripts she bought today, sat on the soft bed opposite the desk, and read them.

Jiu Ling walked to the desk, rolled up his sleeves, raised his brush, and lightly dipped in the ink.

In order to make Jiu Ling's painting look better, Xi Tao held her posture upright at first, but after looking at it for a while, she became sluggish and unconsciously changed into a more comfortable posture.

He was lying sideways on the soft couch, propping his head with one hand, his black hair was scattered under his body, and he flipped the pages of the book lightly with his fair fingers. Get up and watch attentively.

Standing in front of the desk, Jiuling looked at Xitao with burning eyes. He wrote vigorously, swimming like a dragon, and outlined Xitao's figure with just a few strokes. When he was about to draw the face, he hesitated for a moment, and his smile faded away. The paintbrush hung in the air for a long time without falling.

He didn't know the true appearance of Master.

He frowned, and looked up, Xitao was holding the story book, he didn't know what interesting things he saw, with a smile on his lips, his eyes were bright, and he didn't seem to know any worries.

Jiuling hesitated for a while, then continued to paint with his head down.

Xitao read the script with relish for a while, and frowned slightly. The script said that when the love between a man and a woman reached the point of mutual affection, they could sleep on the same bed and cuddle each other. Isn't that what he and Jiuling do every day? ?

He read a few more pages, and the situation described in the story book was somewhat imaginative with his daily relationship with Jiuling, especially the description of the official who angered the little lady, who deliberately added salt and oil to the food to toss the official, He couldn't help but think of the table full of garlic and carrots just now.

He unconsciously raised his head and glanced at Jiuling, little lady?He shuddered subconsciously, shook his head, quickly waved away the strange thoughts in his mind, and continued to watch with relish.

The afternoon sun was warm, and the room was comfortable and quiet. After some time, Xi Tao put down the notebook in her hand, yawned lazily, sat up and asked, "Have you not finished drawing yet?"

Jiu Ling put away his pen, looked at the drawing paper on the table and nodded slightly.

Xi Tao couldn't help but wonder what she would look like in the painting of her apprentice, so she ran over on her shoes and looked down at the drawing paper.

The person in the painting is slender, standing beside the red lotus pond in a snow-colored gauze, and the red lotus in the pond is blooming wantonly, the color is outstanding, and the person in the painting is as ethereal as a fairy.

Although Jiuling didn't paint the facial features, it can be seen at a glance that the person in the painting must have a supernatural appearance.

Xi Tao remembered that he had indeed admired the blooming red lotus by the lotus pond. He didn't expect Jiu Ling to not only remember it, but also to draw it exactly. He couldn't help smiling and asked, "Linger, why didn't you draw the face ?”

Could it be that the apprentice despises his ugly appearance?

Jiuling put the pen on the black inkstone, curled his lips and said, "Master said just now that you can only paint where you are interested, and this is also true for this disciple, so I will finish here today."

Xi Tao nodded lightly, pointed to a place in the painting, and said, "Ling'er, I understand the truth, but why do you wear a peach blossom in your hair?"

The ink-splashed blue hair of the person in the painting hangs behind his back, and a peach blossom in full bloom is inserted by his ear. The peach blossom is delicate and beautiful, adding beauty to the coolness.

He is a man, and wearing a flower on his head is really detrimental to his manliness.

Jiu Ling hooked her lips, stretched out her hand to pull the blue hair beside Xi Tao's ears behind her ears, looked into Xi Tao's eyes and said, "Because the master is like a peach blossom in my heart, since I can't draw the face of the master, I will temporarily use Talk about peach blossoms for comfort."

Regardless of his master's true appearance, in his heart he is the most beautiful person in the world.

Xi Tao's ears felt hot for no reason, and she nodded indiscriminately.

Anyway, it's Luo Tianchen who wears peach blossoms, so let's wear them.

……

In the early morning, inside the Tianchen Gate, after the busy Young Sect Master had breakfast with the leisurely Sect Master, he was busy going to the weapon room to check the newly purchased swords, while the leisurely Sect Master stayed in the house and continued to read the scriptures leisurely .

Xitao held the scripture book in her hand and ate the candied fruit bought by Jiuling in her mouth, sighing sincerely.

It's great to have apprentices!

If he knew that there are apprentices who can be so leisurely, he should have accepted apprentices earlier.

He decided to take back what he said at the beginning that as long as there is no apprentice, he can continue to be a leisurely salted fish, because...he has an apprentice, so he can be a leisurely salted fish!

He couldn't think of leaving anymore, and felt that a place with apprentices was more at ease than in heaven.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the Qingxin wine placed in the corner, licked his lower lip lightly, looked outside the room, stood up quickly, and went to take a sip of the Qingxin wine, but when he turned around, he saw Xuan Xing Mr. He stood in front of him in an ethereal manner.

He thought it was Jiu Ling who came back suddenly, and almost jumped up in fright. After seeing that it was Mr. Xuanxing He, he patted his chest and said with a smile, "Mr. He, long time no see."

Mr. Xuan Xinghe still had that neither happy nor sad face, looking at his disheveled clothes, he asked: "You live a pretty leisurely life in the mortal world?"

Xi Tao smiled modestly, but couldn't help showing off in her tone, "Thanks for having a good apprentice."

Xuan Xinghe-jun raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "Your apprentice hasn't turned black yet?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xi Tao raised her chin lightly, "My apprentice is cute, cute, kind and upright, so he won't become black."

I raised it, I taught it.

Proud, wait for praise.

Xuan Xinghe Jun looked at him faintly, and immediately hit him and asked: "How far has your spiritual power recovered?"

"..." Xitao was dumb for a moment, silently retracted her raised jaw, her voice also lowered, and it took a long time before she snorted, "...[-]%."

It was originally [-]%, but after seeing Yang Ganfeng yesterday, it directly dropped to [-]%, and it hasn't risen yet.

"Heh..." Xuan Xinghe Jun sneered lightly, "Cute and cute?"

Xitao: "..."

Xuan Xinghe-jun: "Kind and upright?"

Xi Tao: "..." My heart is pierced, Old He.

Although he was a little discouraged, he was not hit, and he was still full of confidence. He believed that one day, Jiu Ling would let go of the hatred in his heart, completely stay away from blackening, and his spiritual power would definitely recover to [-]%.

Xuan Xinghe Jun looked at his trembling eyelashes with satisfaction, and said with disgust: "Can you stop staring at me with Luo Tianchen's face, I'm afraid I will have nightmares at night."

Xi Tao almost forgot that Luo Tianchen was accidentally killed by Mr. Xuan Xinghe.

Xitao couldn't help smiling, leaned closer to Luo Tianchen's face on purpose, and said gloomyly: "Will Mr. Crane be afraid? Will Luo Tianchen hold resentment towards you and want to take his life? Maybe he will suddenly appear in the middle of the night At your bedside..."

Mr. Xuan Xinghe didn't see panic, but took a step back in disgust, and pushed his face away with his hands, "Which god have you ever seen who is afraid of ghosts and gods? Stay away from me, because I'm afraid of being disgusted by Luo Tianchen's face so that I will have nightmares .”

Xitao: "..." Is it that ugly?

He unconsciously raised his hand and touched his face. Luo Tianchen looks handsome, although he can't be called outstanding, but with the bonuses of wealth, temperament, and clothing, he can also fascinate many people. No matter how disgusting Mr. Xuan Xinghe is Is it like this?

Mr. Xuan Xinghe sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at him, and urged: "Hurry up and change it back."

What was on the table was Kudingcha. He was getting angry recently, so Jiu Ling always wanted to trick him into drinking Kudingcha, and secretly replaced the tea in the room with Kudingcha from time to time.

Xi Tao watched helplessly as Mr. Xuan Xinghe drank the tea, and after waiting for a long while, he did not see any reaction from Mr. Xuan Xinghe, still with that expressionless face.

Xi Tao couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel bitter?"

It was Kudingcha that was so bitter that he almost shed tears.

"Bitter." Master Xuan Xinghe spit out a word, and continued to drink tea with a blank expression.

Xitao clicked her tongue secretly. Although everyone is a fairy, but Mr. Xuan Xinghe's cultivation is really incomparable to him.

Xuan Xinghe Jun glanced at him, and explained: "I am transformed from the White Crane Astrolabe, and my perception of everything is not as strong as yours."

Xi Tao showed a clear look, thought for a while, pointed to her face and said, "Since you don't have a strong feeling for everything, why are you so picky about your appearance?"

Xuanxing Hejun glanced at Luo Tianchen's face, and said with disgust: "I am transformed from the white crane astrolabe, and I was born to see the appearance of everyone when they were born at the beginning of the heaven, so what I see is not only The way you look now, you can still see your real appearance on top of your head. For example, there is a white crane astrolabe on top of my own head, a peacock on top of the head of the Peacock Fairy, and a red koi on the top of the head of the Koi Fairy... "

Xi Tao pointed to the top of her head and asked, "What's on the top of Luo Tianchen's head?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "It's an ugly toad."

Xitao: "..." Not only is it a toad... it's also an ugly toad...

Xi Tao's whole body froze, her complexion changed horribly.

When he thought of walking around with a toad on his head all day long, he felt dizzy. He threw Luo Tianchen's body aside without any hesitation, and turned back into his original shape. He didn't even want to look at Luo Tianchen on the ground. Tianchen took a look.

Seeing his familiar face, Mr. Xuan Xinghe finally felt more pleasing to the eye, bowed his head and took a sip of tea.

Xi Tao felt ashamed when she thought of meeting Mr. Xuan Xinghe with a toad on her head all these years. He quickly pointed to his own deity and asked, "What is on my head?"

He looked nervously at Mr. Xuan Xinghe, but don't be anything weird.

Mr. Xuan Xinghe stared at him for a while, then shook his head lightly, "There is nothing."

Xi Tao was taken aback, "Why is there nothing?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe was silent for a moment, then shook his head lightly.

Xi Tao didn't think deeply, as long as it wasn't something weird.

He was concerned again: "Where's Ling'er? What's on top of his head?"

Will Jiuling's head look like a koi fairy, with a little mermaid swimming around?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little cute.

Lord Xuan Xinghe's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he opened his lips and said, "A flower."

Xi Tao was stunned, how could Jiu Ling's cold and frosty appearance be a delicate flower when the world first opened?

He thought of the delicate red lotus imprint at the end of Jiuling's eyes, and suddenly had an idea, and said happily, "It's the red lotus, right?"

Xuan Xinghe Jun gave him a slightly surprised look, pursed his lips and nodded.

Xitao smiled and happily walked around the spot twice.

Jiuling looked cold, but she didn't expect her real self to be a delicate red lotus, and she was still a little mermaid in this life, so cute everywhere.

He imagined that the rain was hitting the lotus, and his apprentice was so weak that he couldn't help but murmured: "My apprentice is so delicate, I must take good care of him."

It turned out that Jiu Ling's true self was a red lotus. No wonder he was so afraid of the cold in winter. The lotus could not withstand the ravages of wind and snow. In the future, when winter came, he had to make the house warmer.

Lord Xuan Xinghe frowned, looked at him hesitantly, pursed his lips and said, "If the nine feathers are completely blackened, the red lotus will turn into a black lotus, and it will be completely irreversible at that time."

Xitao nodded solemnly. The red lotus is still beautiful, but I can't let the apprentice turn into a black lotus.

He was engrossed in his thoughts, shaking his head while walking, the snow-colored shimmer behind his head floated with the wind, shimmering in the sun, like crystal snowflakes falling on it.

Xuan Xinghe Jun's eyes fell on his silk silk unconsciously, and asked: "Where did you get the silk belt?"

Xi Tao stopped when she heard the words, and eagerly looked at Mr. Xuan Xinghe, her eyes shone with a crystal light, even brighter than that of the crocodile.

Xuan Xinghe Lord suddenly regretted asking, needless to say, he knew that the person who could make Xi Tao show such an expression must be Jiu Ling.

Xitao cleared her throat, raised her jaw proudly again, and raised her voice, "This is crocodile silk. My apprentice wove it for me."

Mr. Xuan Xinghe had seen this hairband a few times before, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now that he saw Xitao always wearing it on his head, he asked casually. He didn't respond when he heard the answer, but nodded lightly.

Xi Tao frowned dissatisfiedly, and shook the silk in her hands, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe reluctantly nodded, it was really pretty.

Xi Tao asked: "Is my apprentice very capable?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe was silent for a while, and then under Xi Tao's full expectation, he gave a faint "hmm".

Xi Tao was still dissatisfied, and asked again: "Is my apprentice very well-behaved and sensible?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe: "..."

"Are you very filial to my master?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe: "..."

"Is my apprentice the most obedient apprentice in the world?"

Xuan Xinghe twitched his forehead, and looked up at him unbearably, "Xi Tao, do you feel that you are a bit like that peacock fairy who always likes to open her tail?"

Xi Tao's voice froze.

Peacock Immortal is one of the immortals in the Heavenly Court. Every time he opens his screen, he always likes to wander around in the Heavenly Court. When he meets any fairy friend, he will stop him and show his dazzling tail to the other party. , Until the other party praises his beautiful peacock tail, he will give up and continue to look for the next target leisurely.

Now Xitao is like that peacock fairy, and Jiuling is like the dazzling peacock tail he raised. Whenever he meets someone, he wants to shake his feathers and show it to everyone, so that the other party can praise the peacock tail.

Very frustrating.

Xi Tao turned around and hid her embarrassed cheeks.

Xuan Xinghe raised his eyebrows lightly, he didn't make fun of him anymore, looked at Luo Tianchen who was also on the ground and said: "Your current spiritual power is enough to transform into Luo Tianchen's appearance, so don't use Luo Tianchen's body anymore , I will put Luo Tianchen's body in the storage ring for you later, and use it when your spiritual power is not enough."

Xi Tao didn't refuse, as soon as he thought of the toad on Luo Tianchen's head, he no longer wanted to use Luo Tianchen's body, and Luo Tianchen's alcohol capacity was really bad.

Xuan Xinghejun raised his finger lightly, and Luo Tianchen's body flew into his storage ring. He took off the storage ring and handed it to Xi Tao, "I'll use it temporarily."

Xitao nodded, and put the storage ring on his finger. This storage ring was in the shape of a white crane, and it fit well on his hand, but he inexplicably remembered his red lotus ring, and couldn't help frowning.

Xuan Xinghe Jun said seriously: "I came this time to remind you that the power of the deep sea in your good disciple is about to awaken."

Xi Tao frowned slightly, and nodded. He had already felt a faint wave of power in Jiu Ling's body.

"Before the power of the deep sea in his body is awakened, his mood will be fluctuated, he will be irritable, and his mind will be more difficult to control than usual. You should pay more attention."

Xi Tao worriedly asked: "Do you know what will happen when the power of the deep sea is awakened? What preparations do I need to make?"

The power of the deep sea was extremely powerful, and Xi Tao was a little worried that Jiu Ling's body would not be able to bear it.

Xuan Xinghe Jun pondered: "When the power of the deep sea is awakened, Jiu Ling will feel as if he is in an ice cave, extremely cold, but his body is scorching hot to the touch, like ice and fire. As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible. Naturally, it is unbearable, and it will take three days and three nights to return to normal."

"After three days and three nights, the power of the deep sea in his body is completely awakened, but if he wants to use this power freely as usual, it may take a while."

"Although you are his master, you can't help him. He can only survive this matter by himself."

"What if you can't make it through?" Xi Tao asked worriedly.

Mr. Xuan Xinghe put down his teacup, and said in a cold voice: "If he can't make it through, he will merge with the sea water and turn into foam to sacrifice to the deep sea."

Xi Tao's chest throbbed suddenly, and she asked anxiously, "Is there really no other way?"

Lord Xuan Xinghe remained silent.

Xi Tao said anxiously: "Mr. Crane, help me find a way, I must not let something happen to Ling'er."

Lord Xuan Xinghe raised his eyes, looked at his pale complexion, pursed his lips and said, "I'll go back to the Heavenly Court and go to the Book Pavilion to check the classics, maybe I can find a way."

Xi Tao nodded slightly with a worried brow. He was worried that Jiu Ling would be in danger, and he was also worried that after the power of the deep sea in Jiu Ling's body awakened, Jiu Ling would do something beyond his control.

Seeing his absent-minded look, Mr. Xuan Xinghe shook his head helplessly, stood up and said, "I'll go back to the Heavenly Court first, and if there's anything I can do, I'll let you know."

"Thank you."

Xuan Xinghe Jun suddenly turned into a ray of light and shadow, and disappeared in the midair.

Xi Tao sat alone in the room for a while. When he thought of the awakening of the power of the deep sea, he felt his chest was tight and worried, so he couldn't help standing up and going outside to get some air.

He always liked quietness, there was no one in the courtyard of Luoshuiju, and Jiuling couldn't come back for a while when he was busy, so he didn't become Luo Tianchen.

He wandered around the yard for a while, and finally stopped by the lotus pond, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the red lotus in the clear water of the pond, slightly lost in thought.

Mr. Xuan Xinghe said that the red lotus on Jiu Ling's head was the red lotus. He looked at these red lotus, thought of Jiu Ling, and felt better unconsciously.

Jiuling walked quickly into the courtyard and walked towards Xitao's bedroom. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person standing by the lotus pond, and looked over unguardedly. Xitao caught his eyes unexpectedly.

The snow clothes are like flowers, and the flowers are falling all over the ground, cold and inviolable.

Jiu Ling's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his eyes instantly lit up with a strong light.

His heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, beating violently one after another, everything around him quickly faded away, and wherever he looked, only the immortal-like person beside the lotus pond became more and more clear.

For some reason, he knew for certain at that moment that the person standing there was his master.

His true master.

He unconsciously held his breath, looked nervously at Xitao standing alone, and didn't dare to move, not only afraid of disturbing the beautiful scenery like a scroll in front of him, but also afraid of disturbing the people in the painting.

Xitao quietly looked down at the red lotus in the pond. The breeze brushed against his cheeks, gently blowing the broken hair around his ears, with a slight itchy feeling. Pulling her hair behind her ears, she rubbed her earlobes habitually.

Jiuling stood where he was, watching his every move intently. Every expression and movement of his was so familiar that Jiuling's fingers trembled slightly.

Jiu Ling's deep eyes fell on the snow-white silk fluttering in the wind, and he bent his lips unconsciously.

His eyes became gentle and bright, as if he had finally found an answer to his long-standing questions, standing under the shade of a tree, he smiled silently.

It turned out that his master was so extraordinary, the paintings he drew that day were less than one ten-thousandth of his master's.

Luo Tianchen looks ordinary and handsome, but Xitao is an orchid and jade tree, like peach blossoms with branches soaked in dew.

Xia Ziyue charm, untouched by the mortal world, unmoving in the clear autumn, as if floating like a fairy, has nothing to do with this worldly view.

Jiu Ling stared at Xi Tao intently, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance firmly in his heart, pious and serious.

Xi Tao's hands were hanging by her side, her clothes were fluttering, and she was flirtatious, ignorant of Jiu Ling's arrival.

I don't know how long it took, Xitao finally thought about it, swept away the previous worries, he looked at the red lotus in the pond and smiled, Jiuling's nature is not bad, even if the power of the deep sea in his body awakens, Xitao is confident that he can guide He is good, everything has its own destiny, just follow the trend.

After Xitao figured it out, he wanted to go back to the house and secretly drink Qingxin wine. Now that he has recovered his body, his drinking capacity will not be as bad as Luo Tianchen's, and he can finally drink to his heart's content.

He turned around inadvertently, and his eyes just met Jiu Ling's.

He looked at Jiu Ling, who was going back and forth, and unconsciously suffocated his breath. Remembering that he hadn't turned into Luo Tianchen yet, he couldn't help becoming nervous, and the carefreeness he had just now disappeared in an instant.

Looking at his widened eyes after being frightened, Jiu Ling couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xitao turned left and right in a panic, wanting to find a place to hide, but also felt that it was too late, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Xi Tao's eyes trembled like a deer, and her flustered body tensed up.

Seeing his appearance of being found out for his wrongdoing, Jiuling sighed helplessly in his heart, and could only continue to help him conceal it as usual, pretending not to know.

The master I recognize, I can only get used to it.

Jiuling coughed lowly, suppressed the upturned smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked over pretending to be calm.

When he approached Xitao, seeing Xitao's face so close at hand, his heart beat twice unconsciously.

He pursed his lips, suppressed all the emotions in his eyes, lowered his eyes, cupped his hands warmly and politely, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Jiuling, I don't know who is Mr.? Why are you in the teacher's yard?"

Xi Tao was so nervous that her face turned slightly pale, her lips squirmed, she couldn't answer, she looked pitiful.

Jiuling couldn't help laughing, and couldn't bear to take his eyes off Xi Tao's face, as if he was afraid of shocking him, his voice was softer: "Are you an old friend of your teacher?"

He sighed in his heart, he who was deceived, not only had to pretend to be deceived, but also found ways and excuses for the deceitful master, it was really hard.

Xi Tao blinked, seeing that he didn't doubt her identity, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Tao nodded vigorously as if grasping at a straw, "Yes, I am Luo Tianchen's friend."

Jiu Ling's eyes greedily turned around his ice-sculpted jade face, suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and asked calmly, "I don't know where sir is from, and who is his name?"

Xi Tao lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, before deciding to tell her apprentice her real name.

Master and apprentice, he didn't want Jiuling to end up not even knowing his name.

"My name is Xitao." He looked at Jiuling and said softly.

Jiu Ling's heart throbbed for a while, and he repeated it silently several times in his heart, as if he had found some treasure, and kept it in his heart as precious and precious.

"From..." Xi Tao frowned slightly, "...from far away, you may have never been there before."

Jiu Ling's eyes darkened. The place he has never been to must be far away, and he will not even be able to reach it in this lifetime.

Xi Tao took two steps uncomfortably on the spot, and asked hesitantly, "Your master just said that you went to the armory, why did you come back so soon?"

He managed to show up once with his original body, but he was caught by his apprentice.

Jiu Ling smiled when he heard the words, "On the way to the armory, I remembered that the Qingxin wine in Master's room hadn't been finished yet. I was worried that Master would drink it secretly, so I turned back and wanted to take the Qingxin wine away."

Xi Tao didn't expect her apprentice to guess all her little thoughts, and the tips of her ears blushed in embarrassment.

He pretended to be calm and said: "Your master is not a greedy person, so don't worry about it."

Jiuling suppressed a smile, looked at his red, almost transparent ears, and said, "Yes, I know."

Seeing that Xitao was only wearing a single shirt, he reached out to take off the cloak, walked over and put the cloak on Xitao's body.

Xi Tao raised her head and glanced at Jiu Ling, just in time to see Jiu Ling's clearly defined jaw: "..." Sadly, she found that the apprentice was still half a head taller than herself.

He had been comforting himself before that it was Luo Tianchen who was shorter than Jiuling, not him. Now that he clearly realized that Jiuling was really taller than him, he couldn't help but silently groan for himself in his heart. Two lines of tears.

Jiuling's fingers fastened the belt of the front of the cloak nimbly, and expertly tied a bow on Xitao's neckline.

Although his master didn't say it, but every time he tied a bow on the master's clothes, the corners of the master's mouth would rise slightly, and he probably liked it very much.

Xi Tao was accustomed to taking care of her apprentice, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she naturally let Jiu Ling put on the cloak, with her hands hanging in the sleeves, without any intention of wearing it by herself.

The smile in Jiuling's eyes grew stronger, looking at the master who had been full of flaws without knowing it, he felt helpless and happy.

On the surface, he said in a serious manner: "Master Xitao, it's very windy here, why don't you go sit in the waterside pavilion for a while?"

Xi Tao nodded hesitantly, thinking in her heart that if Jiu Ling were allowed to enter the room now, Jiu Ling would find that Luo Tianchen was not in the room, which might arouse suspicion, so it would be better for him to hold Jiu Ling temporarily.

The two walked to the water pavilion and sat down on the stone bench. The stone bench was covered with warm velvet cushions, and it was not cold at all. Because Xitao often likes to sit here, there is a tea stove on the small table, and there are many Shaoxi Tao likes to eat dim sum.

After Jiuling sat down, he cooked a pot of hot tea familiarly. When putting out the tea leaves, he thought about it and selected Kuding tea.

Xitao's complexion changed slightly, and she hastily stretched out her hand, "Kudingcha is just..." No need.

Jiuling raised his head, and smiled harmlessly, "Master Xitao, this Kuding tea can clear away heat and detoxify, and is very beneficial to the body. My master doesn't like drinking it. You must be so coincidental that you don't like it?"

"..." Xi Tao's voice was choked in her throat, she blinked her eyes, and changed the topic: "Just put more Kudingcha, I like it the most."

The smile in Jiuling's eyes deepened, and he obediently put some more tea in it.

Xi Tao wants to cry but has no tears. Is it too late to expel the apprentice from the teacher?

After a while, Xitao held a hot teacup in her hand, smelled the bitter smell wafting from the teacup, raised her head and smiled weakly at Jiu Ling, "It's too hot...I'll drink it later."

Jiuling didn't force him, and smiled softly, with gentle eyes.

Sitting side by side with Jiuling, Xitao couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He didn't expect that one day he would be able to sit with Jiuling in his real body.

That's fine, he always felt a little bit guilty for deceiving his apprentice with a fake identity, now that the apprentice has at least seen his real appearance, he feels better.

Jiu Ling bought himself a cup of Kuding tea, and asked in a low voice, "Is the place Mr. Xitao came from beautiful? Since I haven't been there, I can't help being curious."

Xitao smiled, and said softly: "Beauty is beautiful. The sun is so bright, and the clouds fly day and night, but it has not changed for thousands of years. After a long time, it will not be so shocking. Compared with it, it is not as lively as Xishui City. "

In the Heavenly Court, he has nothing to worry about, and there is no wind to come and go. Here, he has apprentices and many people who need him.

Jiuling was silent for a while, and asked tentatively, "Master Xitao, does Mr. Xitao have relatives or important people there?"

Xi Tao shook her head, "I have had no father or mother since I can remember, so naturally I have no relatives, and I have always had no relationship.
