Ning Chen

After a while, there was a "click" and tears fell, "My mother is dead."

Gu Chuchen asked again: "What about your father?"

The young man choked and said, "My father is also dead."

"..." It turns out that he is also a poor person, just like Gu Zhi and Gu Lichen.

A long cry suddenly broke the silence, Gu Zhi covered her mouth and smiled, "I'll get you some food."

Seeing that his whole body was dirty, Gu Lichen said, "Go and change into clean clothes, you should be able to wear mine."

The guy stammered, "Thank you, thank you."

After the boy changed his clothes, Gu Zhi had already brought a lot of food over, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious."

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "Slow down, don't choke."

Gu Lichen asked, "How long has it been since you ate?"

The young man wiped his mouth and said, "Seven, seven days."

Gu Zhi was surprised and said, "Seven days?!"

"Child, what's your name?" Shi Shuliu said suddenly.

The young man replied, "My name is Fu Zhaohua."

"Fu Zhaohua." Shi Shuliu repeated the name.

Gu Zhi said slowly: "Zhaohua, my name is Gu Zhi, he is my younger brother, Gu Lichen."

Fu Zhaohua nodded again and again, "Yes, yes."

Shi Shuliu suddenly had a thought, and asked, "Fu Zhaohua, would you like to stay in Qianyan Sect?"

Fu Zhaohua's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, he hurriedly said: "Yes, I am willing!"

Shi Shuliu said: "Okay, from today onwards, you are the chief direct disciple of my Qianyan Sect."

Seeing Fu Zhaohua's stunned face, Gu Zhi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and buckle up."

"..." Gu Lichen's expression changed, and he seemed displeased.

Fu Zhaohua knelt down with a plop, and said in a loud voice: "Master, please accept my disciple's worship." After that, he kowtowed his head three times, even his forehead was swollen.

"Okay, get up." Shi Shuliu raised his hand, then looked at Gu Zhi and Gu Lichen, "Zhaohua, although they are not my disciples, they have been by my side since childhood. It's your senior sister and senior brother."

Fu Zhaohua hurriedly called out: "Senior sister, senior brother."

Afterwards, Shi Shuliu waved his hand again and said, "You go down first, I still have something to discuss with your senior sister and senior brother."

Fu Zhaohua said: "Yes."

Just as Fu Zhaohua was not far away, Gu Lichen questioned, "Father, you have never accepted any disciples in the past ten years, why did you accept a Fu Zhaohua whose origin is unknown today as an apprentice?"

Shi Shuliu glanced at Gu Lichen, and said, "Aren't you also from an unknown place?"

"..." That's right, he is also a person of unknown origin, so how can he criticize others.

Gu Zhi glanced at Gu Lichen and said, "Father, like Lichen, I don't understand what you're doing."

Shi Shuliu took a deep breath, and said after a while, "...because of magnolia flowers."

Gu Zhi and Gu Lichen said in unison: "Magnolia flower?"

"..." Shi Shuliu didn't speak any more, but Gu Lichen was even more dissatisfied with such an obscure answer, "I still don't understand."

Shi Shuliu said displeased: "I have made up my mind to be a father, so there is no need to talk about it."

Gu Lichen wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Gu Zhi, "..."

Shi Shuliu stood up and walked out, but stopped after walking a few steps, "Zhi'er, come with me to the study."

"Yes." Gu Zhi's complexion changed, and she followed Shi Shuliu to the study, "Father."

Shi Shuliu said leisurely: "Zhi'er, the 'Hundred Puppet Collection' is incomparably exquisite, and Yifu doesn't expect you to know everything."

"..." Seeing that Gu Zhi remained silent, Shi Shuliu said again: "Only the chapter of 'Living Puppet', you must understand it."

Gu Zhi lowered her head when she heard the words, her voice was extremely weak, "Yes, my daughter knows."

Shi Shuliu couldn't see Gu Zhi's expression clearly, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Shi Shuliu sat in front of the desk, his eyes were full of exhaustion, "Xin Yi, everything is for you..."

As soon as Gu Zhi came out of the study, she bumped into Fu Zhaohua in the outer courtyard. She led Fu Zhaohua to the disciple's room, and took care of everything, "Zhaohua, you can live in this room, I'll help you arrange it."

When Fu Zhaohua saw Gu Zhi, he became nervous for no reason, "Thank you, senior sister, you are so kind to me, senior sister."

Gu Zhi smiled nicely, "You are my junior brother, so naturally I treat you well."

"..." Gu Zhi smiled, and Fu Zhaohua was stunned, unable to speak for a while.

Gu Zhi said again: "Li Chen lives next door to you, you are about the same age as him, so you must get along well."

Fu Zhaohua called softly, "Senior Sister."

Gu Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Zhaohua stammered out three words, "Thank you, thank you."

Gu Zhi smiled nicely again, "Okay, stop talking silly, go in and rest."

"..." Fu Zhaohua's heart thumped wildly, and he secretly made a vow in his heart that he would live for Qianyan Sect in his whole life.

44. Life and Death

"Death and life are inseparable, tell Zicheng, you taught me."

It has been six years since Wu Youduo exhausted half of her body and gave birth to Xie Zhanning safely. During these six years, Xie's couple have been carefully conditioning Xie Zhanning's body, and never let the spring in his body erupt once.

That night, Xie Zhanning was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he said arrogantly to Wu Youduo: "Mother, Ning'er can't sleep, tell Ning'er a story."

Wu Youduo pinched Xie Zhanning's rosy cheeks, and said dotingly: "Okay, mother will tell Ning'er a story about a little wolf today, okay?"

Xie Zhanning obediently tucked in the quilt, opened his round eyes wide, and looked extremely expectant, "Yeah."

Wu Youduo patted the quilt lightly, and told the story, "Once upon a time there was a little wolf who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains with his parents. Although his life was not rich, his parents loved him very much. As for him, he also loves his parents very much, and the family of three lives extremely happily, but the little wolf doesn't know that his parents planted a dangerous seed in his body when the little wolf was born."

Xie Zhanning asked childishly, "Why did the little wolf's parents plant that seed?"

Wu Youduo slowed down her movements in her hands, and said after a while: "Because the little wolf's father is a wolf, but his mother is a human being, the little wolf was born as a weak half-human body, and only by planting that seed can the little wolf grow up." It is possible to survive. Although the little wolf's parents have always protected the little wolf very well, the seed buried in his body may still take root one day, and may even hurt him. Ning'er, what do you say? , Did the little wolf's parents do something wrong, and will the little wolf blame his parents in the future?"

Xie Zhanning shook his little head, and said decisively: "The little wolf's parents are all for the little wolf to survive. They did nothing wrong. If Ning'er is a little wolf, Ning'er will not blame them."

Wu Youduo's nasal cavity was sour, and tears filled her eyes at some point, "... Ning'er is so good."

Xie Tingyun saw that the two were telling stories, so he came over and said with a smile: "Ning'er, what story are you and mother talking about, can you tell daddy?"

Xie Zhanning's grandmother shouted: "Mother is telling Ning'er the story of the little wolf."

Xie Tingyun looked at Wu Youduo, lightly held his shoulder, and called out, "Youduo..."

Wu Youduo turned her head to the side and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her throat was choked up, she was already speechless, "..."

Xie Tingyun let out a long breath, then smiled at Xie Zhanning: "Ning'er, go to bed early after listening to the story, tomorrow morning you have to practice swordsmanship with Daddy."

Xie Zhanning laughed very happily when he heard about the sword practice, and responded obediently: "Yes."

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Tingyun took Xie Zhanning to practice sword art in the courtyard. Xie Tingyun was holding a Shangpin Xianjian, while Xie Zhanning was holding a small wooden sword.

Xie Zhanning imitated Xie Tingyun's posture crookedly, waving the wooden sword in a decent manner, "Daddy, look at Ning'er's practice is right."

Xie Tingyun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Ning'er is really smart."

Xie Zhanning said crisply again: "Father, when can I use your sword to practice?"

Xie Tingyun carefully handed the fairy sword to Xie Zhanning, and said: "This sword is called 'Killing Soul', it was passed down from your grandfather to Daddy, and when Ning'er grows up, Daddy will pass it on to you."

Xie Zhanning pouted, and asked in confusion, "Grandfather? Why has Ning'er never met grandfather?"

"..." Xie Tingyun paused and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was a qualified husband and a qualified father, but not a qualified son.

Seeing Xie Tingyun's sad face, Xie Zhanning hurriedly returned 'Slaying Soul' to Xie Tingyun's hands, and said obediently: "Daddy, return it to you. When Ning'er grows up, Daddy will pass it on to me."

Wu Youduo walked towards the two with a smile, untied the silver whip from his waist and put it in Xie Zhanning's hands, "Ning'er, take it."

A silver light flashed, and it took Xie Zhanning a long time to open his eyes, "Wow, it's mother's whip."

Wu Youduo asked: "Do you like it, Ning'er?"

Holding the silver whip, Xie Zhanning nodded sharply, and said loudly, "I like it!"

Wu Youduo smiled nicely, "Since Ning'er likes it so much, then mother will give it to Ning'er."

Xie Zhanning's round face seemed to burst into laughter, "Thank you mother, mother loves Ning'er the most."

Wu Youduo reached out and touched Xie Zhanning's hairy little head, and said with a smile, "This whip is called 'Xifeng', because the place where the whip passes is like a rushing wind."

Xie Zhanning opened his eyes wide and listened very seriously, "'Xifeng'."

Wu Youduo said again: "Ning'er, mother will teach you another whipping technique today, you have to watch it carefully."

Wu Youduo used a set of eighteen whips in a row, and the places where the whips passed were like wind and thunder. Trapped in it, in the past, Wuyouduo was connected with her because of this trick.
