Chapter 623 Apprentice
Gu Shi nodded,

"to make!"

Anyway, she can do whatever she wants!
The next day, when they packed up their things and got up again, they heard someone crying outside the tent. The voice was low and sobbing, intermittent, but very miserable. Pu Yanlan walked outside and saw a group of people gathered not far away. Pu Yanlan walked over but did not see any movement. The people blocking the way involuntarily parted to both sides, revealing the person in the middle. It turned out to be a woman holding a five or six-year-old girl who was crying softly. The girl was wearing thin clothes and had her head wrapped with a headscarf. The exposed little face was already blue and purple!

The woman was holding her and crying quietly. There was a slightly younger boy beside her, staring with a pair of confused eyes, as if he didn't understand what was going on!

Pu Yanlan only took a glance and saw that the little girl was probably not dead yet, but her breath was very weak. She said to the woman,

"Show her to me!"

The woman looked up at Pu Yanlan with a blank face. Her face was thin, her expression was sad, and her eyes were full of sadness and numbness. She stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond. Instead, an equally thin man standing behind the woman and the child suddenly bent down, snatched the stiff girl from the woman's arms, and handed her to Pu Yanlan. After Pu Yanlan took it, she reached out to hold the girl's pulse, but her meridians were so weak that they couldn't even bear a trace of spiritual energy. After thinking about it, she could only take out a pill, forcibly pried open the girl's mouth and stuffed it in. The pill melted in her mouth, turned into saliva, and slid down her throat into her stomach. After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, the little girl's breathing finally became smoother. When Pu Yanlan looked up again, she found that the woman, the man and the little boy were gone!

Someone nearby saw this and said,
"The child was ill before. He became incontinent last night. The man of that family threw the child away. Today, the mother found him..."

Pu Yanlan remained calm when she heard this. This kind of thing is very common among the people. In such places, if a child is sick, the parents abandon one and keep the other. It cannot be said that it is the right thing to do, but it can only be said that it is the best choice!
Pu Yanlan nodded and said,

"If that's the case, then I'll take the child back..."

After saying that, she stood up holding the girl and looked from a distance. She saw the woman in the crowd over there looking at them anxiously. Pu Yanlan walked over with the child in her arms, and when she was about ten feet away from the woman, she took out a roast chicken, which she had bought when she left Tianliang City. She threw the roast chicken into the woman's arms.
"This child has nothing to do with you from now on!"

After saying that, she turned around and carried the child back to the camp. At this time, the escort team had packed their bags, harnessed their horses, and were waiting for Pu Yanlan. Gu Shiyi saw her carrying a child back, and came up to check. She looked at her purple face, and it looked like she was breathing in less than out.
"Where did this child come from?"

"My parents didn't want it anymore, so I exchanged it for a roast chicken..."

Gu Shiyi could tell at a glance that the child's vitality was intermittent and he looked like he was about to die at any moment.

"Can you bring this half-dead thing back to life?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"She just caught a cold. It's a minor illness. She will be fine after taking a few pills. However, her body is too weak to withstand the impact of the medicine, so we have to take our time!"

"Okay, if you want, keep it!"

Gu Shiyi had no objection. He took the child in one hand and sent him to the carriage.
"You sit inside with her, and I'll ride the horse!"

The escort team set off on their journey. They left a long row of footprints in the snow ahead. Behind them were the people in tattered clothes, who were desperately hunched over, shielding their faces from the cold wind. If they flew across the three hundred miles of snowfield, it would only take a blink of an eye, but it would take more than ten days to move forward slowly in the wind and snow. Pu Yanlan had originally planned to enter the snowfield and hear the news about Tianyi Sect, so she wanted to rush there as soon as possible to reunite with them. But now she was carrying a little girl with her, and the child was so weak that she could die at any time, so she didn't dare to be impatient!

They continued to sway on the carriage, and on the second day they encountered a spiritual storm. In the middle of the night, the howling wind was even more fierce and violent than usual. The convertible top, which was covered with three layers of animal skins, was rustling in the wind and toppled here and there, as if it would be blown over if not careful.

Gu Shiyi sat cross-legged, her demonic power circulating throughout her body. Soon her body was warm like a stove. She held the little girl in her arms to warm her up. Pu Yanlan was sitting back to back with her. She practiced the way of the ghost. Although she was not afraid of wind and snow, her physique was more yin. She felt extremely comfortable against Gu Shiyi's extremely strong and yang body. At this time, she closed her eyes slightly and gradually entered a state of concentration. She guided the spiritual energy that was surging in her dantian little by little into the vortex formed by the two golden pills, and then circulated throughout her body. Gu Shiyi was pinching the little girl's nose in her arms nonchalantly. Her body was strong, and the chaotic spiritual energy rushed into her body, constantly beating and impacting her tendons, veins, and flesh, causing her a little pain. However, this pain was not as great as the pain she felt when she used her demonic power to expand her tendons and veins. Instead, it refreshed her mind. She was just a little bored, so she took the little girl in her arms as a toy to play with.

This spiritual storm has little effect on ordinary people. Ordinary people don't have spiritual energy in their bodies. They just feel that tonight's storm is bigger and more severe than usual. Maybe Gu Shiyi played too much. The little girl in her arms, who had been sleeping all the way, suddenly had eyelids twitching for some reason, as if she was about to wake up. Gu Shiyi was very surprised when she saw this.

"You woke up so soon?"

So he lowered his head and looked carefully, and saw that the little girl's long eyelashes trembled, and finally she opened her eyes after a long while!

The little girl opened her eyes and saw a pair of big, bright, black, beautiful eyes staring at her without blinking.
"what……"

The little girl subconsciously let out a low cry from her throat. The sound was so small that if it weren't for Gu Shiyi's good ears, it would have been impossible to hear it amid the whistling wind!

Gu Shiyi smiled at her.
"you're awake!"

The little girl blinked blankly, looked around, and didn't see anyone familiar to her, so she froze in a daze. Her pale lips slightly opened, and she blinked at Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi understood that she was looking for her relatives.
"Um...are you looking for your mother, father, and brother?"

The little girl blinked.
"Oh... they should be behind us. You are sick, and my sister picked you up. You just need to take good care of yourself, and you will be well soon!" As long as you can open your eyes, it means your body is getting better. If you can take the medicine by yourself, you will get better even faster!
The little girl blinked, as if she remembered something. Her face turned pale again, and her eyes dimmed. Gu Shiyi understood that she must have remembered how she was thrown out to die, so he smiled at her and said,

"You just woke up so don't waste your energy. Close your eyes and sleep for a while. What happened before... just treat it as a dream. When you wake up after sleeping, it will be your new life!"

After that, she activated her demonic power again, and her body became warmer. The little girl yawned in her arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep again...

After a night, the weather was clear, and there was no heavy snow today. The sun shone on the snow, so bright that people could not open their eyes. It was another day of traveling. However, when the little girl woke up again, she saw not the smiling big sister from last night, but a gentle and kind little sister with elegant temperament.

"Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

The gentle young lady fed her a sip of water. There was honey in the water, which was sweet. When she tasted it, it was as if her taste buds came alive. After smacking her lips a few times, she immediately sat up, eagerly snatched the water cup, tilted her head back and drank a cup herself. After she finished drinking, the young lady gently wiped the water stains for her.

"You just woke up, you can't eat yet, drink some water first, wait a while, drink some porridge!"

"Can...can I have some porridge?"

The little girl's voice was hoarse. The little sister smiled and nodded, took the cup from her hand, and asked her to wrap herself in the quilt and sit down.
"You can drink it in a while..."

Not long after that, the older sister with a smile of white teeth brought in a bowl of steaming porridge with vegetables and finely minced meat. The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw it. She took it with both hands and immediately gobbled it up. The gentle sister asked,

"What's your name?"

"I... um... my name is Big Girl..."

"What's your last name?"

"…surname…surname Wang…"

The smiling elder sister said,

"Most girls don't have proper names. At home, their parents call them big girl or little girl. Now that she's with us, she should have a proper name. Yan'er...will you give her a new name?"

The gentle young lady thought for a moment and said,

"Then let's call her Xueying, Wang Xueying..."

A light bird in the snow!

"Okay, let's call her Wang Xueying!"

The elder sister smiled and said to Wang Xueying who stared at her with wide eyes,

"Wang Xueying, I'm Gu Shiyi, this is Pu Yanlan..."

Gu Shiyi turned to look at Pu Yanlan, thought for a moment and asked,
"How about...you take in an apprentice?"

Pu Yanlan smiled slightly.
"I checked her pulse and her physique is suitable. When she is better, I will test whether she has spiritual roots. If she does, then it's OK!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"It doesn't matter whether you have spiritual roots or not. If you don't have spiritual roots, just follow me and learn martial arts. Our Lingjing Sect also has a legacy. If you can't practice Taoism, you can learn Taoist techniques, and you will be able to make a living in the martial arts world in the future!"

So on this sunny day after the heavy snow, Wang Xuying drank the best bowl of porridge in her life, got a new name, and later she had a very gentle little master and another heroic and chivalrous master.
