well-trained

Xu Yannuan looked at him suspiciously, took the pastry from Xie Nian, and sighed, "This pastry is also Master's favorite, Anian, let's send it to Master, shall we?"

Xie Nian stared at Xu Yannuan for a while, and finally turned his head to say hello.

Just remembering about the original owner, Xie Nian was a little shy, but seeing Xu Yannuan looking at him eagerly, he still compromised, "Sister, you should eat a few pieces, I brought it back for you specially, and the rest Just give it all to the master, maybe you still don’t want to eat it.”

Xu Yannuan laughed and said: "How is this possible? Since it is going to be delivered to the master, how can I eat it? This is bought by the younger brother. Today I will borrow flowers to present to the Buddha."

Xie Nian reluctantly followed Xu Yannuan down Law Enforcing Peak to Wuyou Peak, now Wuyou Peak has been completely sealed off, protected by two barriers that prevent anyone from entering, one was set up by Mu Yi himself, and There is one extra set by the head of the sect. If Han Shuwan is in the sect, it is uncertain what kind of anger will be.

Xie Nian stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the stairs all the way up to the peak. Because no one had cleaned the fallen flowers for a long time, the ground was almost covered with steps. It just so happened that it had rained a few days ago, and the moisture of the rain and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms came out , beauty is beautiful, but there is a kind of unreasonable desolation.

Xu Yannuan also stopped aside and sighed: "Last year, Master's birthday happened to be when you went out to practice. Uncle Yan said that Master's cultivation has reached a critical moment, so you must not disturb, and Master's birthday will be nothing, but this year is different. It's alright, it's fine if Ah Nian is here."

Xie Nian twitched his lips, leaned on Xu Yannuan's shoulder, curled his lips, "Maybe Master doesn't want to see me? Since it's Master's birthday, what about the birthday gift prepared by Senior Sister? It won't be true This pastry, right?"

Xie Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he leaned half of his body on Xu Yannuan, coquettishly, and said in a low voice: "I know that Senior Sister is stepping down the steps for me and Master, but Senior Sister still can't see clearly? If he doesn’t like me, no matter what I do, he won’t care. He only seeks no faults and no merits. Don’t you know that Senior Sister understands Master so well? He never takes me seriously. Senior Sister, people will be tired too. , I used the first ten years to please him, and I was tired."

The sentence "I'm tired" seems to express all the grievances and sufferings the original owner has suffered in these years. The original owner is not innocent, it is true that he is mischievous, and it is unavoidable to play tricks on fellow sects and elders, but there is nothing worse.

The fault is that he is Mu Yi's apprentice, Mu Yi's face is cold and hard-hearted, no matter how good he is, he can at most get Mu Yi a few words of "OK" and "Don't cause trouble", and he never praises him, so he can only cause trouble everywhere. Only then can his eyes stay on the original owner.

Xie Nian sneered in his heart, the original owner was really stupid, causing trouble again and again, exhausting Mu Yi's patience with him, and finally broke the relationship between master and apprentice after that trip to the secret realm.Mu Yi was really ruthless, beating people to death.

What else did Xie Nian want to say, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, 【Host, do you still remember what your mission is? 】

Xie Nian: "I don't remember, I don't know, get lost."

system:【……】

Xie Nian was still talking to the system, but Xu Yannuan directly brought him back to his thoughts, only to hear Xu Yannuan respectfully say: "Today is Master's birthday, the younger brother specially brought Master's favorite snacks from the mountain, Although the gift is light, it is also the heart of the younger brother."

The people in the mountain were silent for a long time, just when Xie Nian was about to pull Xu Yannuan to turn around and leave, the fine salsa sound came from the forest, very rhythmic, Xie Nian was stunned, did he go down the mountain?After a while, a scene was reflected in Xie Nian's eyes, what kind of scene was it, that when Xie Nian recalled it many years later, he could still smile knowingly, with unbreakable tenderness in his eyes.

It was already evening when Xie Nian came back, the setting sun in the west enveloped the entire Wuyou Peak, and the peach forest after the new rain was filled with mist. Pale golden-red sheen.

Mu Yi climbed up and down the steps, each step was methodical, half of his body leaned into the golden-red light, one side was like a god in the sky, while the other foot stepped into the world of mortals, soaked in some worldly smoke and fire, he was Xie Nian, who is already a god of the world, also looked straight at him.

The golden light gradually dissipated, and Mu Yi's cold and bored expression appeared, and he immediately said, "Xie Zigui, what are you looking at?"

Xie Nian's eyes were clear for an instant, and he saluted Mu Yi impromptuly, "The disciple was dazzled by the afterglow of the setting sun just now, and his eyes were stabbed in panic."

Xie Nian's seriousness is really bluffing, otherwise, in just over a year, almost everyone except Xu Fangshu, big and small, will have a different impression of him.

In the past, if people mentioned Xie Nian, they would sigh speechlessly, "Xie Nian? Are you talking about the one from Wuyou Peak? It's not a big deal but a big problem. He makes trouble for the senior brother every day. If I were his master, he would be pissed off sooner or later." It became "Junior Junior Brother is upright and humorous. Uncle Zhong teaches well. I don't know what Senior Brother thinks. I always look down on Junior Junior Brother. Hey, I feel sorry for Junior Junior Brother."

Seeing Xie Nian talking eloquently, showing no signs of cowardice like before, even with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Mu Yi was in a daze for a while.In just one year, he didn't even know himself as an apprentice.

The previous Xie Nian and even the Xie Nian of the previous life were always cautious when meeting him, how could they have such a confident look.

The more Mu Yi looked at it, the weirder it became, even with the slight change in Xie Nian's appearance, Xie Nian was recognized as a good-looking person in the school before, with a face like a good girl, and a pair of peach blossom eyes always with a gentle smile, but that The hostility and viciousness in the eyes cannot be concealed.

But this Xie Nian Muyi doesn't look the same as before, his eyebrows are flat, the lines on his face are more obvious, his eyes are smiling, combining gentleness and indifference, he can no longer see his disciple in those deep eyes I'm thinking about something.

Suddenly, Mu Yi's heart was seized, his cold eyes were stern, and the golden light in his right hand surged, even Xu Yannuan felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking that it was not good.

"Master!!"

A golden light flashed in front of Xie Nian's eyes, and he was very apprehensive. If it was an ordinary whip, it would be nothing more than a skin trauma, and if it was too much, it would hurt his muscles and bones, but this whip even Xie Nian felt threatened. It came from the soul threat.

Xie Nian dodged to the side, and his whole body rolled on the ground, but his waist was still lifted by the tail of the whip, and he made a "hiss" in pain, and lay down on the ground.So he scrambled and hid behind Xu Yannuan, "Senior Sister, save me!!!"

Xu Yannuan stood in front of Xie Nian, and was also quite shocked, "Master, you put away your whip. What did you do wrong? You can introduce him to explain. For more than a year, Anian has kept his own place. Go to Tianli Gate and ask, no one said anything bad about him, Master..."

Mu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xie Nian coldly and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Nian: "Master, I know that you have always looked down on me, but I didn't expect you to hate me so much."

Xie Nian rubbed his waist. Although he knew that it was the primordial spirit that hurt, he still rubbed it subconsciously. It really hurts. Since he came to this world, his majesty as the master of a world has long since disappeared. , going farther and farther on the road of being beaten.

Xie Nian thought: Damn, I can't bear it.

He's going to fight back.

Indifference for indifference.

"Did Master really care about his disciple's preferences since he was a child? Others say that he will be a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life. My father entrusted me to you. Can you really give Xie Nian the warmth that a family should have? Master, It has been more than ten years, and my disciple is really fed up. Every time you have a birthday, my disciple is full of joy at first, and ends in depression. I have followed you for more than ten years, but I just want you to look back, disciple, to see that you have a The little disciple used to regard you as a god and an object of struggle, but I am really tired."

"What are you suspecting? Doubt that the disciple has been taken away? This disciple has been practicing with the uncle for more than a year. It has been more than a year, which is enough to change a person's state of mind. The uncle is very good, like a brother like a father, at least it makes me feel I have a home, but what did you give Xie Nian? If the disciple changes, it means taking away the house? Since the master hates the disciple, why should he care whether the disciple changes?"

Mu Yi: "...".

Mu Yi's hand holding the whip froze suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, his fingers even trembled slightly, he...was he really wrong?Xie Nian's heartfelt words hit the bottom of his heart, he was right.

For more than ten years, he has been guarding against this child, for fear that he will take another detour and criticize him everywhere. How can there be a master treating a disciple like a master.

Even Lu Xiaoxiao, who doesn't care about the world and concentrates on cultivating, secretly reminded him many times that enough is enough. The apprentice is his concern and kinship in this world. If even this is cut off by his own hands... He is ashamed of Xie Zhuo's dying .

Whether it is Lu Xiaoxiao, Yan Shutong, Han Shuwan, or even the sword idiot Zhong Wuchen, they all favor this child more or less in private. Could it be that he is really wrong?Resurrecting his life made his heart covered with a thick layer of glass, so that others could not easily enter, and he guarded against his closest relatives and disciples.

Mu Yi had expectations in his heart, he also expected to be able to accept him again, pour all the love from his previous life on him, he tried, but was hit by reality again and again and couldn't straighten up.

He can't save the death of Xie Zhuo and his wife, and the disaster of the secret realm is still unavoidable. Just like in the previous life, every time Mu Yi thinks about it, a bone-chilling chill surges through his body.

Because of this, every time he falls into a deep sleep, he is always awakened by nightmares. Those hands stained with turbid blood tear him, wanting to drag him into hell together, and warn him time and time again that it is the child he doted on in the previous life and took it with his own hands. Their lives, the whole city's living beings were sacrificed. His hands, Mu Yi, had never been stained with blood, but because of a single apprentice, while enjoying his great reputation, his feet were covered with bones.

The laziness of teaching and the laziness of teachers, those blood debts of Xie Nian have entangled his whole life.
