When this word reached my ears, the Xianling faction was already well known to everyone.
I don't believe it.
But my classmates in the academy started to face me without shyness, spreading rumors of Xiao Yihan that I didn't know where they heard it from: "Last month, a senior brother was training in Mofang Town, and he saw Xiao Yihan from a beautiful banshee with his own eyes. I took an item in it, it looks like a magic weapon of talisman paper! I think Shishu Xiao is really having an affair with a demon..."
I suddenly remembered the banshee I met many years ago when Xiao Yihan took me to practice.
I looked down at the book on the table. After reading for so many years, for the first time I felt that I was so stupid that I didn't even know a word.
The sister next to me looked at me for a while and touched my arm.
I turned to look at her, and she asked me, "Have you noticed anything wrong with your master?"
I looked at her for a long time: "There is nothing wrong with my master." I said almost word for word, "My master is very good, he is not the kind of person you said." I firmly defended him, as if defending my own beliefs .
Senior sister saw me like this and was stunned for a while, but the senior brother who was spreading rumors in high spirits sneered and said: "He is your master, of course you protect him. But the matter of fornicating evil spirits is not something you say if you don't have it. ."
At that time, I joined the Xianling School for more than ten years, and I have never had such a quarrel with anyone. Even if there was, I would take a step back when the other party was about to fight to the death, so that the other party could take advantage of it, so as not to tear his face. I'm insecure, so I don't want to offend anyone who doesn't even have a relationship with me.
But at that moment, as if I wanted to exert all the stubbornness that I had held back for more than ten years, I stared at my senior brother and said, "If I say no, there is no." I said bluntly, "You don't know me. Master, why do you slander the elders by saying some things through hearsay?"
Under the rebuttal, Senior Brother was really angry: "Senior Brother Shimen watched him make a deal with a banshee. As an immortal cultivator, he didn't get rid of the monsters, but he also traded with them. This is not a fornication. , is this called slander?"
"Then explain who, where, and when they saw all these things. There are so many senior brothers in the sect. If there is a real matter, why hide it and let the boring people spread the truth."
Senior brother seemed to be hurt by my "boring person", he immediately burned his forehead and slapped the table: "Who are you talking about!" As if he wanted to do something.
At that time, I was too daring not to be afraid of his actions. I thought to myself, even if there was a fight, I would never back down on this matter.
But just when I was about to go out of my way, the school master hurried over: "What's the noise?"
The moment the Master stepped into the door, I seemed to see a familiar figure standing behind the school gate, standing there with a jug, looking at me, the figure was a little lonely, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
But Master passed by in front of me, but in a blink of an eye, there was no one there. Fast as my eyesight.
Seeing that the Master was coming, the senior brothers also died down, and the brothers who were watching the excitement also dispersed. The Master glanced at me, didn't say anything, just took the book and started the class as usual.
It is clear that the sun is still shining in the school, the sound of reading is loud, and everything around is so normal, but I seem to hear their whispers hidden under the sound of reading, like spider silk binding me, pulling me into the abyss, Cold and unable to extricate themselves.
After the class was over, I returned to the courtyard with Yu Jian non-stop.
As soon as I arrived in the small courtyard, before entering the hospital, I heard an angry shout from the courtyard: "Do you know what your actions mean?"
It was the voice of the master. Ever since Xiao Yihan accepted me as his apprentice and he had his own independent courtyard, the master no longer came to take care of Xiao Yihan. This scolding was like the scolding I heard on the street when I first met Xiao Yihan. It's the same, but at this time, the voice of the master was full of heaviness and sighs that I couldn't understand.
I stood outside the courtyard, I didn't go in, and I couldn't leave, so I became a thief who eavesdropped on the corner, and listened to Xiao Yihan indifferently said inside: "I know that when I contact the monster, the disciples of the Xianling faction must be constantly criticized, but I have already accepted it. When the apprentice is a teacher, I don’t have to worry about my business anymore.”
For a while, what I said in the school just now seemed to turn into a slap, and slapped me hard.
"You! What kind of apprentice do you accept! You only accept apprentices for the sake of becoming a teacher. For so many years, what do you say you taught her!" The master was obviously angry, "Who are you worthy of!"
Xiao Yihan was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry for anyone, so many years have passed, and now I'm doing this, if Master thinks that I'm doing something wrong and insulting the reputation of the master, Master will expel me from the fairy sect. "
When the master heard the words, he fell silent. After a long while, I only sighed deeply and deeply, "Each has its own predestined dharma, and the master can't control you now. Whatever you want to do, just do it. It's just one day. As a teacher, you will always be my apprentice, and I will never drive you away."
There was a long silence in the courtyard, and then a flash of brilliance, it was Master Yujian who left.
I stood at the door, I don't know how long, when suddenly the courtyard door opened, Xiao Yihan saw me standing at the door, he was silent for a moment, didn't ask me anything else, just said as usual: "Yo, come back early today. what."
I looked up and asked him, "Master, when you come down the mountain, do you really meet the evil spirits?"
Xiao Yi was silent for a long time, so long that I thought he would not answer me, but he still said: "Ah, maybe it is." He said so eloquently and answered so casually, but I still asked seriously and persistently.
"Is that the banshee back then?"
Xiao Yihan nodded: "Well, yes."
I stared straight at him, and he looked at me, with the lazy smile on his face, and the corners of his slightly pursed lips seemed to build armor, resisting what he imagined, and I was about to blurt out Harsh words.
I even thought that I would question him, like what the senior brother said in the school today, accusing him of fornicating with evil spirits and betraying the immortal way, but when I opened my mouth, it was a sentence that even I didn't expect: " Did the master accept me just because he wanted to become a teacher?"
This sentence has nothing to do with what we said before. When I asked, I was stunned, and Xiao Yihan was also stunned. All the defenses he made were useless at this time.
My mouth seemed to be connected to my heart, and I naturally asked with a bit of grievance: "So when you saw any child on the street, could it possibly become your apprentice, even if it wasn't me?"
I understand, it turns out that at this moment, what I care about most is this.
After more than ten years of study and study, moral etiquette, and immortal family rules, it turned out that in my heart, I was no match for wanting to become a special existence in Xiao Yihan's mind.
Because he is so special to me.
I looked at him, stubbornly trying to get an answer.
He put away all his astonishment and stunnedness, and raised his eyes to look at the vast distance of Xianling Mountain: "Of course not anyone." Most likely come with me."
I only felt breathless for a moment, and even my heart stopped.
Yes, I was a beggar at the time, and he bought me with money.
Other children can't be bought with money, but beggars can be bought with money.
In a word, my heart is pierced through.
I stared at him in a daze, at the curvature of the corner of his mouth, and the indifference and indifference in his eyes. It felt as if my heart had been pushed into an abyss, falling all the way, being torn apart by the cold wind, stinging from the chill, and then falling to the ground, smearing into a mass of red mud.
Xiao Yihan's second sin to me is that he is the person in the world who can let down people's hearts with a smile.
