After Xiang Han left for a long time, Chen Shuze still had a smile on his face, unable to calm down for a long time.
Thinking that his senior admired him very much and might even want to take him as his apprentice, the corners of Chen Shuze's mouth couldn't help but slightly twitch.
Xiang Hanyin glanced out the window for a while, and then commented: "It's still a bit silly."
"Don't worry, it's normal in front of others." Big A said helplessly, he didn't know what happened to the general in this life, and he started to act stupid when he saw Xiang Han.
Xiang Han didn't stand for long before turning around and leaving. After all, Chen Shuze could see him, and if he was discovered, it would damage his image.
At this time, Chen Shuze had grown to the point where he wanted to put away everything Xiang Han had touched. But just as he was about to put the stone bench into his Qiankun bag, Chu Ming came back, lifted his clothes and sat down on the stone bench.
Chen Shuze was dumbfounded for a moment, he...he himself was not willing to sit down, how dare Chu Ming? It's too much, this is the place where the seniors just sat!
After regaining consciousness, his face darkened instantly, and there seemed to be resentment entangled in the top of his head.
Chu Ming didn't notice his change at all. He unceremoniously lifted the kettle on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and poured it down.
"Hey, this tea is full of spiritual energy, is it high-quality spiritual tea?" Chu Ming asked in surprise.
Chen Shuze's face was already black enough to drip ink. It was the high-quality spiritual tea he personally prepared for his senior. There were only ten tea leaves in total, and he was usually reluctant to drink it. What's more, Chu Ming directly used the spiritual jade cup he prepared for the senior, which he himself was usually reluctant to use!
However, at this time, he was a little lucky, fortunately, the senior didn't drink tea with him. If he really drank it, wouldn't Chu Ming be drinking tea from his senior's cup now? I can't stand it just thinking about it!
Chu Ming was startled by his resentment, quickly put down his cup and asked, "What's wrong with you?" After asking, he thought guilty, did Shuze know that he went to see Xiao Yue just now
Chu Ming felt that after all, Xiao Yue was Chen Shuze's fiancée, but now she is on good terms with him, no matter how generous Chen Shuze is, she must feel a little uncomfortable. He judges others by himself, and feels that whether he likes it or not, the fact that his fiancée is nice to others is detrimental to a man's dignity. Although Chen Shuze said that he didn't care about it, who knew what he was thinking in his heart
Chu Ming felt a little sorry, and was afraid that Chen Shuze would mention this matter. Before the other party could answer, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, I just went to inquire, and I already know who the person who made things difficult for us is."
"Who?" Chen Shuze quickly came back to his senses, and then wondered, is someone embarrassing them today
Chu Ming immediately said angrily: "Liu Hanzhou, he is Liu Meng'er's uncle and one of the four elders of Qingxuanmen."
"He's an elder?" Chen Shuze's eyes lit up. The senior seemed to have said just now that perhaps some elders would be willing to accept him as a disciple. Is this a hint? The senior really appreciates him and wants to take him as his apprentice!
The more Chen Shuze thought about it, the more he felt that he guessed right, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up again. But in the next second, the illusion was broken by Chu Ming.
"Why are you so happy?" Chu Ming was a little dissatisfied, and then said: "It is indeed the elder. I heard that he still went through the back door and made Liu Meng'er an inner disciple. He will formally accept disciples after the competition is over."
"Accept Liu Meng'er as an apprentice?" Chen Shuze's mood fell to the bottom in an instant. Every time the elders choose an apprentice, the elders accept at most one disciple, and sometimes they don't even accept it. Senior Liu has already planned to take Liu Meng'er as his apprentice, so... what about him
Perhaps, the senior wanted to accept him as a servant boy? In fact, the servant boy is not bad, at least he can be closer to the senior. Chen Shuze comforted himself, and then thought with some melancholy, who made him a fake spiritual root, and there was no hope of establishing a foundation.
Chu Ming laughed ironically at this time: "However, she is so high-profile now, she is not afraid of losing miserably."
"She is Senior Liu's nephew, so even if she loses... she can still be a teacher." Chen Shuze said hesitantly.
"That's not certain." Chu Ming shook his head, smiling quite mysteriously.
Chen Shuze didn't speak any more. He glanced at the stone bench under him, suddenly picked it up, and said displeasedly, "You've almost sat on it, get off quickly."
"Hey, don't you just sit for a while."
Chen Shuze pushed him out directly, then closed the door, worrying about the stone bench.
What if Senior Liu just casually comforted him and didn't even have the idea of accepting him as a servant? With his qualifications, how can he enter the inner sect and be closer to Senior Liu
Chen Shuze subconsciously stretched out his hand and stroked the stone bench lightly, but remembering that Chu Ming had also sat on it, his face instantly became... indescribable.
After a night of melancholy, when Chen Shuze woke up the next day, his expression was a little haggard. He took a qi invigorating pill and meditated for a while before going out.
He just took over the task of planting the spiritual valley yesterday, and he is about to go now. Chu Ming went to see Xiao Yue early in the morning, so he didn't go with him.
After Xiang Han learned that he had accepted this task, he had been guarding the Linggu Garden for a long time. At this time, he was lying on the branch of a towering old tree and reading a novel.
"Hey, it's really uncomfortable not being able to connect to the Internet. I can only find out the old cached articles."
After feeling melancholy, he lowered his head and glanced at Chen Shuze, who had already come to the garden and was working seriously, and then performed a formula to help water all the water.
But Chen Shuze was standing in the middle of the valley field, and was instantly chilled.
Xiang Han: "Uh..."
He hurriedly made up two more formulas to help the other party clean up, then stepped on the void and slowly stepped down from the tree.
"Senior, senior?" After Chen Shuze came back to his senses, his expression suddenly became bright.
"En." Xiang Han responded, and then asked nonchalantly, "You take care of this valley garden?"
"Back to the seniors, yes, but I just took over."
Xiang Han nodded and boasted, "It's well taken care of."
Chen Shuze was elated for an instant, but soon realized that he was not in charge of the Gu Garden before, and that the senior praised...it probably wasn't him, and he was immediately depressed.
"Tomorrow is the big competition, why don't you go to practice?" Worried that he would not participate, Xiang Han came to remind him again.
"Senior, actually... I haven't decided whether to participate or not." Chen Shuze said hesitantly.
"Because of spiritual roots?" Xiang Han asked with a frown.
Chen Shuze lowered his head slightly. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was obvious.
Xiang Han sighed, and was about to persuade him again, when the other party suddenly raised his head again, and asked expectantly, "Senior, if I can win Senior Sister Liu, will you accept me as... servant boy?"
He wanted to talk about disciples, but think about it carefully, which elder would accept disciples who couldn't establish a foundation? So I temporarily changed my mouth again.
page? what is that? Xiang Han shook his head directly and said, "No."
The anticipation in Chen Shuze's eyes disappeared instantly, and he lowered his head sadly. But before he started to feel sad, Xiang Han said again: "The apprentice is a little possible, but Menger's cultivation level is higher than yours, you... work harder."
Chen Shuze couldn't help but froze in place, until Xiang Han left, and finally came to his senses. His expression couldn't help but become ecstatic, he left Gu Yuan's work and went back to his residence.
Chu Ming happened to be at the residence too. Seeing him coming back so early, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Is Gu Yuan's work done?"
"No." Chen Shuze left this sentence and rushed into the room.
Chu Ming hurriedly looked up at the sky, and then said strangely: "How dare you leave the task behind? The sun didn't come out from the west today."
Chen Shuze didn't bother to talk to him, and left in a hurry after finding the identity plate, rushing to sign up.
"Hey, where are you going?" Chu Ming shouted from behind, but got no response.
On the first day of the big competition, Chen Shuze dressed neatly, even combed his hair meticulously, and looked nervous and expectant.
Chu Ming said helplessly: "It's just to add fuel, as for what? I, the righteous master, are not nervous."
Chen Shuze shook his head and said apologetically, "Brother Chu, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch your game."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because, I also participated in the apprentice selection competition." Chen Shuze shook hands firmly, his tone firm.
"But you are a fake spiritual root." Chu Ming said subconsciously, he didn't look down on Chen Shuze, because he knew in his heart that the other party was a mixed blood of human and demon, with outstanding aptitude, not some waste. But in the lower world, no one can see Chen Shuze's true aptitude, even if he wins the competition, no one is willing to accept him as an apprentice.
But Chu Ming quickly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly explained: "No, Shuze, don't get me wrong, what I mean is... According to Qingxuanmen's rules, it may be useless for you to participate in the big competition, why not?" After I build the foundation, I will help you go out and find another opportunity. I am born to be useful, believe me, you can cultivate to the fifth level of Qi refining with the aptitude of the five spiritual roots, there must be something extraordinary... "
Chen Shuze smiled slightly, shook his head and interrupted: "Brother Chu, I understand what you mean, but I still want to try."
He and Chu Ming have known each other for five years, and he understands that the other party is just talking unintentionally. Besides, in the past five years, he has helped Chu Ming, and Chu Ming has also helped him. From the bottom of his heart, he is very grateful to this only brother and doesn't care about it.
Chu Ming saw that he couldn't move him, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, anyway, the name has already been reported, so let's work hard. With your cultivation, you should be able to sweep the Qi Refining Group A."
The monks participating in Qi Refining Group A are all at the fifth level of Qi Refining and below, and the monks participating in Group B are at the level above the sixth level of Qi Refining and below Foundation Establishment, and there is also the Foundation Establishment group. According to regulations, monks with low cultivation levels can leapfrog the challenge, but monks with high cultivation levels cannot be downgraded.
However, leapfrogging means that every opponent you meet is stronger than you, and you may be eliminated very early, and you have no chance to show yourself in front of the big guys in the door, let alone being picked up by the big guys and accepted as an apprentice up.
After listening to Chen Shuze's words. Chu Ming was a little surprised, and then turned around and muttered: "Is he the protagonist? Forget it, I hope he can explode in the small universe by then."
