After Nie Jie came out of the fighting room with Xia Liang, who was falling apart, a staff member greeted him with a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically,
"Young Master Nie, congratulations on passing the examination. Please come with me. Because of your excellent performance, now you have an opportunity to meet Master Tianchen. If you get his approval, you can become his student."
"You mean Master Tianchen?" Nie Jie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in surprise.
This development far exceeded his original expectations.
Master Tianchen himself is a mid-level spiritual master with high combat power and noble status. Moreover, the puppets he made are hard to find and are sought after by the world.
If one can become his disciple, in addition to being able to obtain his advice, status, fame, and money will all follow.
"Not bad!" The buddy was not surprised by Nie Jie's reaction. He looked at him with a hint of envy. Thinking that Nie Jie might soar into the sky and be caught by Master Tianchen, he said, " There are three other people with you, but the master only needs one person. Although the master has a weird temper, he likes puppets very much."
Nie Jie heard the goodwill in his words, nodded at him, and said, "Thank you."
The guy didn't say anything more, and led Nie Jie into the backyard of Tiangui Pavilion. After walking for a while, he came to a quiet small courtyard and said politely, "The master is inside. Go in by yourself."
Nie Jie hugged Xia Liang and walked in with a calm expression, but his heart was secretly tense. After walking for a while, he heard movement behind him.
Looking for the sound, Nie Jie walked through the front row of houses and found an empty field behind.
There, various materials were piled up, and there were a few unfinished puppets, and next to it, there was an old man with a tool in his hand, beating and beating, surrounded by him, and three young people.
Hearing the sound of Nie Jie approaching, the three young men all turned their heads to look at Nie Jie.
Besides Sikong Han from before, Nie Jie discovered that among these three people, there was another person he knew, Nie Jiaer, the proud daughter of the Nie family's generation.
Some time ago, Nie Jia'er successfully instilled her spirit, and inherited the inheritance puppet of the Nie family - Xiushui. Her status and limelight in the Nie family were unmatched by anyone for a while.
Because of the status of the Nie family, Nie Jia'er naturally didn't need to pass the previous assessment, and was recommended to meet Master Tianchen directly.
Seeing Nie Jie, Nie Jiaer frowned, and couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. The mourner of the Nie family, who was bullied and despised by everyone, unexpectedly appeared here.
Why is he? !
Sikong Han glared at Nie Jie and the puppet in his arms, thinking of being planted in Nie Jie's hands twice today, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"What is in your arms?" Just then, a voice sounded.
Nie Jiaer and the other three turned around in astonishment when they heard this movement.
Master Tianchen, who had been silent since they arrived, now took the initiative to ask questions. This special treatment made Nie Jiaer and the others look at Nie Jie with a hint of jealousy and vigilance.
"My puppet." Nie Jie stepped forward, saluted the master respectfully, and replied.
"It has become like this, it is no longer usable, why don't you give up?" Master Tianchen stood up and asked.
"She is my puppet." Nie Jie said, "She is a part of me. Abandoning her is equivalent to cutting off my own flesh and blood. Of course I can't."
"Hahaha..." Master Tianchen laughed heartily when he heard this, looked at Nie Jie with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, then waved his hand and said,
"Okay! It's just you. From today on, you will stay here and follow the old man."
When Nie Jiaer and the other three heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they exclaimed, "Master, this is not fair! You haven't tested us yet, how could you choose him as your student so easily?! "
They are simply too unconvinced! Why!
As soon as he appeared, he got the attention of his master, and after asking a question, he was directly appointed as a student? !
"Hmph! Fair?!" The master laughed out loud when he heard this, "Whom I accept as a student, do I still need to ask your opinion?!"
"Master, that's not what we mean." Nie Jiaer held back the anger in her heart, bowed to Tian Chen, and said softly, "I just want to figure out where I lost, and I think it's better in the future." Learn from it and make corrections.”
After Tianchen heard this, he nodded in satisfaction, looked at Nie Jiaer and said, "The puppet and the master are one and inseparable. But you don't even bring your own puppets with you, how can you become a master?" A good healer."
Nie Jiaer and the others felt like crying when they heard this.
"Master, my puppet was damaged during the fight just now, so I didn't bring it with me. Is this also wrong?!" Sikong Han shouted unconvinced.
What a stupid reason!
"Oh? Yours is damaged? I think that kid's puppet is not only damaged, it's all broken and falling apart, and it's still a treasure in his arms." Tian Chen pointed to Nie Jie and said.
Sikong Han, "...".
What a Nie Jie, because of him, he was devastated again.
"Master, we..." Nie Jiaer still wanted to argue, but Tian Chen waved his hands impatiently and said, "A'nan, send them away."
The Anan he called was a tall puppet standing on the side. Hearing Tian Chen's words, this Anan responded, and then carried Nie Jia'er in one hand, Sikong Han and another person in the other, and faced outside while they were struggling and kicking their legs. go.
Nie Jie was a little wary of this rapid and astonishing development, but also a little surprised. He didn't expect that becoming a master's disciple was so simple!
However, he did not miss the jealousy and coldness in Nie Jia'er's eyes when they left. I am afraid that after leaving here, there will definitely be trouble waiting for him.
However, now is naturally not the time to think about this.
"Your first task is to repair your puppet." Tian Chen looked at Nie Jie and said without any nonsense.
When Nie Jie heard about this task, he was quite happy. This is not a task at all, it is simply helping him achieve his main purpose.
"Teacher, can I use these materials as I like?" Nie Jie pointed to the pile of things and asked expectantly.
"This is nonsense!" Tianchen glanced at Nie Jie and said, "You are my Tianchen student, and I don't like to hear nonsense in the future."
"Yes, teacher." Nie Jie replied concisely.
"Bring it here and show it to me." Tian Chen said without thinking.
Nie Jie understood that he was talking about Xia Liang, but he was still reluctant to hand Xia Liang over to him, even if it was his own teacher.
Unable to understand why, Nie Jie attributed this reluctance to being influenced by Xia Liang, because at this time, she was protesting strongly, emphasizing that no one is allowed to touch her except him.
"Teacher, I'll put her down. You can check her like this, but please don't touch her." Nie Jie walked over, put Xia Liang down, and asked.
Hearing this request, Tianchen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and said, "I don't touch it, how can I tell you how to repair it? Will you?"
"With the teacher's talent, I think you can know the symptoms just by looking at them. With my talent, as long as the teacher tells you the method, I can fix it." Nie Jie said in a flat tone, quite boastful.
"Haha..." Tianchen took a look at Nie Jie, laughed out loud, and said, "You boy, you have a bad temper with me! You are the first one I have ever seen who is so possessive of your own puppet. Humans can."
Dominating? Nie Jie glanced at Xia Liang and remained silent.
