As soon as the boy's voice fell, he seemed to feel that he was a little too abrupt, and he stammered and explained: "I, I didn't mean that, I'm not such a casual person. I just said, if you help me this time, I will I will help you in the future too... I heard from others that a stove maker will only be good for a few years at most, and the days after that will not be too easy."
At this time, Qiu Yutong finally understood what the other party had misunderstood. He was really speechless, and didn't know how to explain for a while, so he could only stare at the boy.
"What do you see me doing? What I said is all the truth..."
Under the condemning gaze of those beautiful eyes, the young man's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't continue speaking. He turned his head a little uncomfortably, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qiu Yutong from the corner of his eyes.
"..." Qiu Yutong didn't want to waste any more words, but in this situation, he had to explain. He frowned and looked at the boy, just about to say something, but when the boy made eye contact with him, he quickly turned his eyes away and muttered Said: "It's just for me to introduce Master Qiufeng, do you agree or not?"
Qiu Yutong said helplessly: "It's not a question of whether to answer or not, I am Qiu Yu..."
"I have other things besides the silver ticket spirit stone!" The young man interrupted him directly, then took out a lot of things in a hurry, and stuffed them into Qiu Yutong's arms in a mess, "here, this, this, This red sandalwood comb, this black jade inkstone...all for you! Oh, yes, and this string of night pearls... "
Qiu Yutong was forced to hold a lot of weird things, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He was about to explain, when a warm and indifferent voice came: "Yutong, why are you here? We are waiting for you, Why don't you go to the front hall to pick out apprentices?"
Qiu Yutong quickly stood up: "Senior brother, the head of the sect."
Xie Wanting turned the wheels of the wheelchair and slowly approached. He looked at Qiu Yutong, then at the young man, and asked doubtfully, "Yutong, who is this little friend?"
"Thanks, thank you, City Lord?!" The young man suddenly widened his eyes and stared blankly at Xie Wanting. After a while, he slowly twisted his neck in an extremely stiff manner, and looked at Qiu Yutong stupidly, as if being caught by a The thunderbolt hit his head, and he was so shocked that his tongue was useless, "He is City Lord Xie, you, you call him... Brother Sect Leader? Well, then you are..."
Seeing the child's incoherent speech, Xie Wanting couldn't help but frowned slightly. He stopped caring about the boy and looked down at the pile of things in Qiu Yutong's arms: "Yutong, what are these?"
"..." Qiu Yutong didn't know how to answer.
If I have to say it, these messy things seem to be... bribes that the young man gave him to this "favored stove" to help him introduce the "master of the stove".
"Yutong? What's wrong?" Xie Wanting asked in confusion.
Qiu Yutong hadn't answered yet, but the young man over there suddenly understood. For a while, his face changed from blue to white to red to black. : "Thank you, City Lord, these things, these things are... a little bit of my filial piety to Master!"
Qiu Yutong: "?!"
Xie Wanting asked suspiciously: "... what master?"
The young man turned around and kowtowed heavily to Qiu Yutong: "I hope the master will accept the disciple's kindness!"
Xie Wanting was slightly taken aback, and then said clearly: "So that's it. Yutong, you have already chosen your apprentice? Is it him?"
"No, no." Qiu Yutong couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, get up quickly, and don't make trouble in front of the senior brother in charge."
"Lord Qiufeng, please accept me as your apprentice!" The young man knelt on the ground, looked up at Qiu Yutong, but refused to get up.
Xie Wanting looked at the young man, seemed to think of something, couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Are you, the young master of the Chen family's mutated spiritual root? The one called... the one named Chen Yuelin?"
The boy nodded: "Well, I am Chen Yuelin."
Xie Wanting pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Qiu Yutong: "The Chen family has been innocent for generations, and his qualifications are indeed good. Otherwise, you can accept him."
Qiu Yutong quickly shook her head and said: "Senior brother, you also know that I really can't do anything about my current situation..."
Xie Wanting sighed: "Yutong, in the past I thought you were too innocent, and I always hoped that you would take in a smart and reliable apprentice, but now that you are like this... it would be nice to have a lively apprentice. .Ah, I don’t worry about you being like this all the time.”
"Brother, I..." Qiu Yutong felt very guilty, but still shook her head.
Chen Yuelin said anxiously: "Master, just accept me, I can do everything! I will take good care of you old man!"
Before Qiu Yutong had time to say anything, Xie Wanting nodded, and said kindly, "What do you know?"
"Uh, playing polo, fighting crickets, listening to ditties..." Chen Yuelin's voice became softer and weaker, and finally closed his mouth dully.
The corners of Xie Wanting's mouth twitched slightly: "These, ahem... However, it would be nice to be lively and cheerful. How about this, I will accept you as a named disciple of Shuo Xuecheng's outer sect for the time being, and you will fly here first Feng lives, as for Yutong, whether he accepts you as his apprentice depends on your luck."
Chen Yuelin nodded immediately: "Disciple understands! Disciple will definitely behave well!"
"Brother Sect Leader, I..."
Qiu Yutong wanted to say something else, but Xie Wanting had already waved his hand: "Okay, that's it. If you really don't like it, just drive him down the mountain, that's all."
"Oh." Xie Wanting had already said this, so Qiu Yutong had no choice but to shut up silently.
Chen Yuelin looked very happy, completely forgot about the "stove cauldron incident" just now, and circled around Qiu Yutong: "Master, master, master, master!"
Master... Qiu Yutong felt uncomfortable hearing this title, and couldn't help rubbing the center of her brows: "I confiscated you as a disciple, don't call me Master, just call me Peak Master Qiu."
…
In Shuo Xuecheng's disciple selection meeting, in addition to Chen Yuelin who unilaterally forcibly apprenticed to his master, Xie Wanting, Bai Hanyuan, and Sang Lingxi also accepted several disciples from aristocratic families, and everyone was very satisfied.
The peaceful days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
The weather is getting colder, and Shuo Xuecheng finally ushered in the first heavy snow this winter.
This morning, Qiu Yutong stood on the Lingxiao Terrace behind Feilai Pavilion, holding Tianzhao Yunhai in both hands, staring blankly at the heavy snowflakes fluttering in the mountains, recalling some extremely distant past events.
This winter is so cold, I don't know if Xiao'er is cold at the bottom of the cold pool
"Master!" Qiu Yutong's thoughts were interrupted by a crisp young voice, and Chen Yuelin happily jumped in, "Master, have you heard? The city lord asked us to go down the mountain to buy new year's goods!"
Every winter in Shuo Xuecheng, people are sent to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy some new year goods, such as couplets, window grilles, pastries... these things. Compared to tedious tasks such as catching ghosts and praying for rain, purchasing New Year's goods is a great job, and everyone rushes to do it.
When Qiu Yutong was a child, he always tried every means to beg his seniors to take him down the mountain to buy new year's goods, but at this moment, he felt that he couldn't cheer up when he heard that the senior brother in charge asked him to go buy new year's goods.
He also knew that the senior brother of the sect master deliberately arranged this errand for him to let him go down the mountain to relax. He was very grateful to the senior brother of the sect master, but...he was really not interested.
Seeing that Qiu Yutong was silent, Chen Yuelin approached him cautiously, and forced the exquisite brass hand stove in his arms to him: "Master, your face is pale from freezing, don't stay here, it's cold outside, go back to the house .”
Qiu Yutong sighed softly: "Yue Lin, how many times have I told you, don't call me Shizun again. If you really want to practice and prove the Tao, go to the Biyun Tower on the mountainside of Cuiping Peak and ask me for help." The third senior brother, he has the best temper, so he might accept you as his apprentice."
Chen Yuelin pursed her lips: "No, I will stay here."
"Actually, I'm not good at teaching my apprentices, it will delay you." Qiu Yutong rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, "You know now that I was injured in the secret realm before, and this Taoist body has not yet formed a pill. The third brother is comparable to me. I'm much stronger..."
Looking at his pale and fragile appearance, Chen Yuelin felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and couldn't help but said, "Thank you, the city lord, for giving me a copy of the secret formula for getting started. I'm learning it by myself right now. The master was injured, and slowly I will keep it, I will improve quickly, I... I will protect the master."
"What are you talking about? Although I am like this now, I don't need your child's protection." Qiu Yutong couldn't help but laugh.
His path of cultivation is indeed starting from the beginning, but his physical aptitude is very good, and his spiritual power is very abundant. It is estimated that he will be able to form alchemy on Jianya next month. What does this little boy think of him
"I know Master doesn't need it, but..." Chen Yuelin didn't continue, and stretched out his hand to pull him with a shameless face, "Okay, Master, let's go, let's go buy new year's goods, shall we?"
Qiu Yutong was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, and couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of the brother in charge, so he said: "Okay, I will go down the mountain with you to buy new year's goods. Just one thing, don't call me Shizun."
Chen Yuelin happily said: "Yes, Master!"
"... called Lord Qiufeng!"
"Oh, Peak Master Qiu." Chen Yuelin said reluctantly.
After the two cleaned up, Yu Jian went to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of Canglong Snow Mountain, there are many scattered small towns, the largest of which is called Qingshiqiao Town. This morning, it was the last market in the town years ago. The smell of fruits in the pot, the fragrance of girls' makeup... all kinds of tacky sounds and aromas are intertwined, which is particularly New Year's flavor.
"Selling pine nuts, fragrant and crispy fried pine nuts!"
"Steamed buns just out of the cage, steamed stuffed buns with thin skin~"
"My lord, do you want to buy a couplet? It was written by a scholar from our Li Family Village!"
"Hey, sister, look over there, there are fried chestnuts!"
"Paste the window grilles, and the coming year will be auspicious~ buy window grilles~"
Chen Yuelin dragged Qiu Yutong, and the two squeezed back and forth in the crowded market, looking around, and bought a lot of New Year's goods, such as couplets, pastries, roasted seeds and nuts, window grilles... and so on. , a lantern.
Qiu Yutong held the carp lantern forced by the other party, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Although the workmanship of this carp lantern is very rough, it is far less exquisite than the lotus silk lantern that Lu Xiao gave him back then, and there are no weird lantern riddles on it, but at this moment, Qiu Yutong can hardly hold the light Lanterns, hands shaking very badly.
Chen Yuelin looked at him blankly: "Master Qiufeng, what's wrong? You look so pale."
Qiu Yutong tried her best to gather herself, shook her head reluctantly, and said shyly, "It's nothing."
"Forget it, I'll get it." Chen Yuelin took the lantern, and asked in doubt, "Master Qiufeng, are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, let's find a restaurant, take a break, and have something to eat by the way?"
"Yes." Qiu Yutong nodded indiscriminately.
There are many restaurants and restaurants in the town. The two casually walked into a lively restaurant on the street. Chen Yuelin took out a large ingot of silver and yelled for a table of dishes. very messy.
"Lord Qiufeng, look, what is this?" Chen Yuelin mysteriously pushed a plate of food in front of Qiu Yutong, "I asked City Lord Xie before, and he said that you have liked to eat this since you were a child."
Qiu Yutong lowered his head, staring blankly at the plate of snow-white sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him, suddenly felt an unspeakable severe cramping pain in his chest, and his head was even dizzy, he clenched his teeth tightly, almost involuntarily pinched Hold your own palm, so as not to lose your composure.
Chen Yuelin asked doubtfully, "Lord Qiufeng?"
Qiu Yutong closed her eyes, tried her best to control her emotions, pushed the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Chen Yuelin, and said hoarsely, "Yuelin, eat it."
This used to be his favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that he would never get tired of eating all his life, but, but...he couldn't eat it anymore. As soon as he saw the snow-white pastry, he would think of the little apprentice who dug out the magic pill with his own hands and pushed it into the bottom of the cold pool... He couldn't face it, he couldn't help it.
"Give it to me?" Chen Yuelin blinked in confusion. He carefully looked at Qiu Yutong's drooping eyelashes, and then at the plate of snow-white sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him. He said boldly, "Master, you treat me so well."
"Hmm." Qiu Yutong twitched the corner of her mouth extremely reluctantly, but couldn't utter a complete sentence, so she didn't refute the intimate "Master".
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Yuelin smiled sweetly at him, then bowed his head happily and began to eat.
No one noticed that at a table in the corner of the restaurant, a tall man was looking at him coldly.
The man was tall and strong, with a very dull expression, his skin was scorched and haggard, but if an insider took a closer look, he would know that he was wearing an extremely delicate human/skin/mask/mask. At this moment, he was tightly holding the blue and white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to barely control his extremely violent emotions.
There was a soft "click", and the wine glass cracked a thin crack.
The man didn't pay attention to the wine cup in his hand at all, and his pair of extremely dark, pitch-black phoenix eyes just stared at Qiu Yutong's table.
He watched the man stretch out his slender white hand and pushed his favorite pastry in front of the boy without hesitation. Hearing the noise of the handsome boy chirping and the man's indifferent doting voice, he just felt There was a "buzzing" in my head, as if my chest was crushed hard by a heavy hammer full of spikes, the pain was so sore that it was almost hard to breathe.
The boy smiled and said, "Master."
The author has something to say: Demon Emperor Xiaoxiao came back to take a peek at Shizunzun.
