Waiting for the conversation between the master and the apprentice to come to an end in the room, Xiaodong brought tea in. Ning Yu's eyes were red, and there were still tears in the corners of the eyes. It looked like she had cried, but her spirit was much better than before. If before Master Hu came, Ning Yu was limp and lifeless like a dehydrated flower, but now she is like a green bamboo after the rain, she is particularly energetic.
Sure enough, Master Hu explained it himself, but it was different.
Xiaodong handed over the tea, Master Hu took it and drank it without haste, and asked Xiaodong, "Will your master take you this time down the mountain?"
"ah?"
Hu Zhenren understood: "You still don't know? Your master received a post and wants to go down the mountain. This time the trip is not far away, and he will be back in about ten days and a half month."
"I didn't hear Master mention it."
It seems that Master is not going to take them this time.
As a result, as soon as Xiaodong went back, he and Mo Chen were found by Li Fulin: "You pack up and come down the mountain with me tomorrow."
Xiaodong didn't know the ins and outs at all, so Mo Chen answered yes.
Turning his head, Xiaodong asked, "Where are you going this trip?"
It's only been a few days since he came back, Xiaodong is full of energy to love his family, and he is not very interested in going down the mountain.
"Master does not have many old friends. This senior is surnamed Xie. Although he is a cultivator, he has married a wife, married a family and had children. This time he has a daughter. He is very happy. It's not too far away, if you go quickly and come back without delay, you will be back in half a month."
"Just take us there?" Xiaodong felt lingering fear after what happened to Ning Yu just now. For Ning Yu's matter, it can't be blamed on Hu Zhenren's eccentricity, and of course it can't be blamed on Ning Yu's weakness. However, it would not be accurate to say that there was no influence of this matter at all. If people are not fair, they will cry out, and if they are not fair and can't sing, wouldn't that make them more complaining
No one has any objection to the fact that the master attaches great importance to the elder brother. But Xiaodong's time on the mountain is short, and there is nothing special about him. If he is the youngest on the mountain, Xiaodong will favor him, Xiaodong is afraid that other classmates will not accept it.
"Well, not many people went this time. Brother Jiang and the others came back with some injuries and some damaged cultivation bases, and they still need to recuperate. Even if everyone is allowed to go this time, they will not be happy in their hearts. " Mo Chen smiled, "I guess other people won't complain about the partiality of the master, if they want to complain, they are complaining about my partiality."
Xiaodong said embarrassingly, "That's true."
Master is quite... fair and just. If you want to say partiality, then the senior brother is undoubtedly the partial one.
"Then do you also want to avoid suspicion with me? Let me treat other people equally?"
"No way!" Xiaodong blurted out, "You can only favor me!"
Seeing Mo Chen's smile, Xiaodong realized that he had spoken his mind, and his face flushed immediately.
Uh, it's a little bad to say that, it can be seen that he is not a generous and selfless person in essence. Everything else can be given in, but the eldest brother can't!
Mo Chen's teasing eyes made Xiaodong feel even more embarrassed, and he said stammeringly, "I, I'm also partial to senior brother."
There are comings and goings, what you have given me is good, I can take everything I have to return it.
"Yes, I'm partial to you, and you're partial to me, do we have similar tastes?"
"What kind of analogy are you making?"
Just kidding, you have to prepare for going out. Xiaodong didn't have much to clean up, and Mo Chen had a lot of things at hand. It will take another ten days and a half a month to go, and everything in the sect must be arranged.
It was another rainy day on the road, so of course Zhenren Ji went with him. For Xiaodong and the others who changed their name to Master Mistress, Ji Zhenzhen didn't have anything special to say--the meeting gift has already been given, so what else should I say? shy? Ji Zhenzhen probably didn't know what shyness was from birth.
Speaking of the meeting ceremony, Ji Zhenzhen took out the pile of things from the package and distributed them to everyone, and Xiaodong picked up an old book, which was the one he showed Ning Yu. The others picked their own way, as a senior brother, Mo Chen couldn't compete with his juniors, so he was empty-handed.
But after that, Li Fulin quietly gave the big apprentice a share. Because the resident is the elder, he has to give way to the younger ones all the time, so he can't let the boss eat everything, right
If it is said that Li Fulin must be partial to one among all the apprentices, then he must be partial to Mo Chen.
Because this child has been around the longest, he is the one who holds, coaxes, feeds and feeds the older one, and teaches him to write hand in hand, and keeps an eye on him for fear that he will make mistakes when he is practicing. If he had to say that he had spent the most effort in his life, it was this one.
If it is said who is the most important person in his life, Mo Chen will not hesitate to answer this question.
With his temperament, he is destined not to be the next head of Huiliu Mountain. Even if he is not a dragon, but a simple ordinary person, it will not work.
Brother Jiang is more suitable than him. Because Junior Brother Jiang has a public heart, he will never put his own selfishness before the gains and losses of the entire sect.
Mo Chen couldn't do it, and he knew he couldn't do it. Because in his heart, there are things more important than the interests of the sect, and even his own life.
He knew this himself, and Master knew it well. But apart from the two of them, the rest of Huiliu Mountain didn't know.
Hu Zhenren did not follow this time. For one thing, he had a disagreement with the person surnamed Xie, and the two hadn't gotten along well since they were young, so they didn't have much to say. This time Li Fulin persuaded him to go on the road together, after all... old friends and old friends left one by one, seeing each other for a while. Who knows if this is the last time
But Master Hu said: "Okay, I don't want to see him, and he certainly doesn't want to see me. It's better to miss each other than to meet each other. Let's stay safe and forget each other in the rivers and lakes."
Having said so much, Li Fulin stopped persuading him. There are people who like and don't like living in this world. Some people want to vomit when they smell ginger. Even if you say that ginger is a good thing, it will be harmful to them. For Li Fulin, Master Hu is a good friend, and Zhuangzhu Xie who posted this post is also a good friend, but it doesn't mean that Hu and Xie have to be good friends.
Xiaodong always felt that it was okay for the master to bring the elder brother with him, but if he brought him with him, he was definitely not taking him out to join in the fun. If it were a year ago, Xiaodong thought it was possible, but after going through so much turmoil, Xiaodong doesn't think Master has such leisure and ambition.
There must be some important reason why Master brought him along.
Xiaodong is not in a hurry to get to the bottom of it, anyway, the master will not harm him, and the reason for taking him along will naturally be known when he arrives at the place.
Xiejiazhuang is not the same as Huiliu Mountain. Huiliu Mountain's sect is small, and it is built on the mountain. The terrain is steep, and it is hard to get to. It is very... um, quiet.
But Xiejiazhuang is located in a bustling city with more than 100,000 households, so it goes without saying that it is bustling and prosperous. Xiejiazhuang is located in the south of the city. The manor house covers an area of several miles, and the gate and wall are particularly grand. At first glance, it looks like a wealthy family.
It was almost sunset when we entered the city, and the street was still very lively with people coming and going, the shops on the street were not closed, and there were still many small businessmen setting up their stalls with their burdens.
Xiaodong hadn't been in such close contact with human fireworks for a long time, and was in a daze for a while.
He stayed on Huiliu Mountain for only two years, but these two years seemed to be longer and more fulfilling than the previous ten years combined, so when he saw everything in front of him now, he felt as if he had passed away . (to be continued)
