Chu Shangshu begged for a long time with good words and good words, but there was no progress. Da Ye's young Master National Teacher was as cold as a banished fairy as the rumors said. No matter whether Lord Shangshu was moved with affection or promised heavy rewards, Master National Teacher never even raised his eyes.

Chu Shangshu was so sad and desperate.

In this sad and hopeless silence, Chu Haoran's happy and dreamy voice sounded from far and near: "Father! Father! Father, look!"

Mr. Chu came in excitedly with the little girl cultivating immortals.

The atmosphere in Wanqian Hall changed drastically in an instant.

The lord of the national teacher, who had been calm and expressionless before, raised his gaze, and stared at the ignorant little face of the girl beside Chu Haoran.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, and there was a coldness of thousands of miles of ice and snow on his face.

After a long time, he slowly loosened his fingers and gently put down the tea cover.

As for Chu Shangshu, who was still sad and desperate just now, his eyes quickly switched between his son holding the girl's hand and the girl's body—it's alive! look! Her eyes are still blinking! It is alive!

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Chu Shangshu burst out two tears of joy!

The Chu family has a queen!

"My lord!" Chu Shangshu was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and he clasped his fists to the person above him, "Can this maid—"

"Xiao Li," Chen Yubai didn't even look at him, and stared coldly at the ignorant girl beside Young Master Chu, "Come here!"

Chu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, seeing that the girl had escaped from his son obediently and ran towards the Master, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Master, who is this girl?"

Chen Yubai raised his hand and pushed the little girl running over happily behind him, his voice could no longer be described as "cold", it was almost eerie: "She is my apprentice."

He stared at Chu Haoran, who was still lingering on his apprentice with his eyes, and Mr. Chu was out of play instantly by that cold gaze, and the dreamlike expression on his face was shattered.

Chu Shangshu is an important minister of the imperial court. Of course he knew about the emperor's decree to accept the disciples of the Master of the State Teacher. He was overjoyed and said loudly: "The disciple of the Lord Master of the State—is the lady of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

Ji Xiaoli didn't know what happened, so he nodded to Chu Shangshu with a smile, "Yes! My father is Zhennan King!"

Chu Haoran's expression became dreamy again: it turned out that it wasn't "A Rich Man Meets a Poor Girl, Infatuated with Love and Compassionately Becomes a Married Couple", but "Shang Shu's Only Son Married to a Miss Wang's Mansion, Well-to-do Family Fly Together"!

The scenery can be upgraded to a higher level. With his white clothes as elegant as snow, the audience will definitely look more pleasing to the eye!

Chu Shangshu looked at the little girl with loving eyes like looking at his grandson and his mother, and said softly with a smile: "I was an official in the same dynasty as your father, King Zhennan, and I have always admired his might and bravery. , Educating children is also a good way!"

Ji Xiaoli didn't know what happened, someone spoke to her in a pleasant manner, she was very happy, smiling and nodding all the time.

Chu Haoran stood beside his father, looking at the living little girl affectionately, every time he confirmed that she was still alive, he fell in love with her more.

Chu Shangshu was talking about festive entertainment, as if his big fat grandson of the Chu family was running all over the ground in front of him.

The three joyful people were each intoxicated, only the face of the national teacher became colder every moment, and the black ice silk sleeves were wide, covering his fists that were getting tighter and tighter.

Chu Shangshu finally finished his festive words, and he left with the pride of "the Chu family no longer has to worry about the end of the family". The romantic and suave Mr. Chu, looking back three times at every step, reluctantly followed his father away.

**

As soon as the Chu family father and son left, Wan Qiantang became quiet.

Master sat there silently all the time, Ji Xiaoli endured it for a while, feeling extremely bored, turned to him and asked enthusiastically, "Master, what are you teaching me today?"

Chen Yu's white eyes were full of snow, and his black eyes were fixed on her, without saying a word.

Ji Xiaoli was so stared at by him, she didn't know why he looked like this, but she just felt that he seemed unhappy, so she asked timidly, "What's wrong, Master?"

Chen Yubai kept a cold face, but still didn't answer, the expression in his deep black eyes changed rapidly.

Ji Xiaoli's back was hairy, and she bravely stretched out her hands to tug on his sleeves, but just as her fingers touched the cold black ice silk, she was blown away by a force.

The little girl flew over half of the Wanqiantang, landed on her buttocks, fell to the ground, sat up and cried out in pain.

She was loved by Nanwang and his wife from the small town, Jidongnanxibei doted on her, even though the nuns in the princess concubine's courtyard sometimes beat her secretly, they just pinched and pushed her secretly, and it was the first time she was beaten and flew out so far.

He didn't even know what to say, his head was thrown blank, Ji Xiaoli sat on the ground by the door, tears streaming down his face, crying very sadly.

Chen Yubai watched her cry from afar, his complicated and turbulent heart just now became like the feeling of being injured when he was practicing martial arts when he was a child: pain, and not wanting to be known.

Why is this happening? He was secretly shocked and asked himself: What does it matter to him that she is crying

What happened just now? Chu Haoran held her hand, why did he almost hit the tea cover to remove Chu Haoran's arm

Chen Yubai's face was cold and expressionless, but his heart was already boiling.

Even if he doesn't ask about world affairs, he knows that his emotions at the moment are related to concern. No matter how cold-blooded and ruthless, Chen Yubai had to admit at this moment: he was tempted.

The young national teacher didn't dare and didn't want to think about it anymore, suddenly he was so angry that he stared at the weeping girl with murderous intent!

"Get out." He shouted angrily coldly.

Ji Xiaoli cried and raised his head to look at him, his tear-filled eyes were filled with doubt, fear, and sadness...

"Get out!" Chen Yubai seemed to be burned by that gaze, and with a flick of his sleeves, he pushed the little girl who was crawling and fleeing further away.

Ji Xiaoli rolled on the ground outside the door, and the door closed with a "bang" in front of her eyes. Her body ached and her heart was frightened, so she couldn't help crying loudly.

**

Ever since Ji Xiaoli came to the National Teacher's Mansion to worship as a teacher and cultivate immortals, the quiet National Teacher's Mansion often has such a movement, the old housekeeper and the servants are no longer surprised. So when the roar of the Master of the National Teacher sounded, the sweeper continued to sweep the floor and watered the flowers, and the old housekeeper was watching Xiaotian wipe a set of precious jade cups. The master's furious voice resounded through the building. Didn't shake.

The fat "idiot" in the corridor buried his head in his wings, sleeping soundly and peacefully.

After a while, a little girl's cry was faintly heard.

The broom stopped, the water poured crookedly, and Xiaotian almost hit the jade lamp in his hand in shock!

The "idiot" raised his head abruptly, and let out two "cuckoos" in disbelief.

The old housekeeper rushed to the front of Wanqian hall anxiously.

The door of Wanqian Hall was closed tightly, and the thick cold air was leaking out from the crack of the door. The old housekeeper shivered when he approached, and hurriedly called Xiaotian to go forward and help the crying man on the ground in front of the door.

"What's the matter?" The old butler asked the little girl in surprise.

Ji Xiaoli's face was full of tears, sobbing and choking: "Master... Master, he... woo woo woo..."

Although she has always done things that angered people have no choice but to do, she is always happy and makes people feel happy when they see her. Now that she is crying so pitifully, the sad "Master" is screaming The old butler remembered the time when the old master passed away—the little master was only in his teens at that time, and he stayed in front of the mourning hall without sleep for five days and six nights without shedding a single tear. After so many days, the servants were all drowsy, and even he couldn't stand it anymore. He heard a very low "Master" in a trance, and he looked quietly: he was dressed in filial piety clothes, with a heavy black iron token hanging from his waist. The thin young man held the tall coffin with his hands, resting his forehead on it, and slowly, slowly closed his eyes.

From then on, the little master only wore black clothes. He never saw the little master show a knowing smile again.

The old housekeeper was thinking about this, feeling sad, and burst into tears for a while.

Xiaotian was already terrified by Ji Xiaoli's tears, so he persuaded her softly for a moment, he was confused and didn't know what to do, when he turned around to see the old housekeeper, his face was also full of tears, the boy was young, look at this, look at that, flat Pingzui also started to cry.

The gate of Wanqian Hall was closed tightly, there was a crowd of crying outside the gate, and there was silence inside the gate.

**

From that day on, Chen Yubai refused to see Ji Xiaoli.

For the first two days, Ji Xiaoli was angry that he had shot her flying, but after two days of anger, she forgot, and started running around looking for fun things, and ran to her master to practice kung fu and cultivate immortality without any suspicion.

But her master didn't see her at all.

Chen Yubai really didn't want to see her, he didn't even need a boy to guard him, he just set up formations around the Star Observation Tower and let her wander around inside for a whole morning without turning out.

She sat on the ground tired, Xiaotian chanted the mantra and jumped past her, holding a small table with a teacup in his hand, afraid of forgetting the mantra, he could not go out like her, the boy chanted without looking sideways .

Ji Xiaoli had an idea, got up and followed him step by step, but seeing him walk smoothly to the corridor and open the door to enter, her vision went dark and she bumped into the big tree again.

Xiaotian turned his head and gave her a sympathetic look, and walked into the Star Observation Tower involuntarily.

It's a bit cold in the Star Observation Tower, and once you walk in, it's as cold as if it's frozen in summer. Holding his breath, Xiao Tian carefully put the teacup on the table, and asked softly, "Do you want some snacks, sir?"

The face of the person holding the scroll was as cold as ice, and he shook his head slightly.

Xiaotian recalled what the old housekeeper said before he came here, and continued to ask bravely: "Then...do you want to send some snacks to Miss Xiaoli? She has been trapped in the formation for several hours."

"Go and lead her away. Don't let her come again."

Xiaotian was silent, and said cautiously: "Miss Xiaoli said, you don't want to see her, she would rather be trapped in the battle. As the saying goes, 'a teacher for one day, a father for life'..." A book was thrown over , the little boy shut up immediately in fright.

"Then don't stop her, let her die!" The lifelong father roared angrily, his face even scarier than before.

The little boy didn't know which sentence he said wrongly, so he didn't dare to talk anymore, put away the scroll and went out silently.

"Eh?" He was startled when he opened the door, and stood there muttering to himself: "What is Miss Xiaoli doing climbing up the tree? This time, it's not on the tree."

As soon as the words were spoken, the cold wind blew up beside him, the boy shrank his head and looked back, the person who was still on the couch just now flew up, and a black shadow shot down the stairs like an arrow.

The sky above the National Teacher's Mansion, which had only been clean for a few days, sounded the furious roar of the National Teacher again: "Ji Xiaoli! Don't jump!"
