Half-life immortal

Chapter 15 The Real Reason for Adopting Apprentices

Xue Qinglan didn't know that she was being missed because of a grimace. At this time, she had just arrived at Tianxuan Peak, and she was looking around curiously.

The appearance of Tianxuan Peak is different from Yuheng Peak and Yaoguang Peak. This is the world of swords. There are all kinds of weapons everywhere, most of which are swords. When you step into this place, you can feel the thick Strong sword intent, as if the air became sharper.

Boy Bai Yu turned into a little boy, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his head, and said to Xue Qinglan: "Master, this Tianxuan Peak is also called 'Sword Peak', and Zi Yuan who sits on Tianxuan Peak Zhenren is truly the number one swordsman in the world, so his disciples under the peak are also proud of the sword, and their swordsmanship is far superior to those of other peaks. When you get here, don’t say anything wrong with the sword. If you are respectful, the sword is their belief."

Xue Qinglan waved her hand and said, "Oh, I got it! I also admire the sword, okay? The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers! Don't talk about that, do you know where Senior Brother Xiqiu lives?"

Boy Bai Yu pondered: "You are talking about Master Ziyuan's eldest disciple? He is the head of the direct disciples, so he should live near Tianxuan Hall."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the top of the mountain. The naked eye could see a majestic palace built there, and it could be felt from a distance that it was the place with the strongest sword intent.

"Oh, then let's go there!" She didn't let the white goose carry her again, it was a rare visit, and it was not bad to walk for a while to see the environment of Tianxuan Peak.

Xue Qinglan walked ahead enthusiastically, and Bai Yu boy followed behind her with his head lowered, gritted his teeth, still feeling uncomfortable: "Master."

"Ah? You called me? What's the matter?"

"Do you know the one who just passed us in the air?"

"Hmm... I don't know him. What's the matter? He's famous?" She stopped and raised her eyebrows, trying to remember the man's appearance just now.But she didn't look at it carefully at the time, so how could she remember it?She only remembered the man's arrogant laughter, which made her very unhappy.

Boy Bai Yu explained nervously: "Not very famous, but too famous. His fame is almost on par with Mr. Xiqiu Zhixi. His talent, character, cultivation, prestige, and connections are all top-notch. , is not only the head disciple, the head of Tianshu Peak, but also the dream lover of all the female disciples in Taiqing Mountain, from the most noble family of Yunteng Xu, who can buy the equivalent of Taiqing Mountain by plucking a hair from his body. Such a large territory..."

The more he explained, the faster he spoke, and before he even said a few words, he was about to go crazy.

Xue Qinglan didn't take it seriously, and said, "Oh, it sounds like he's quite an amazing person. But I didn't provoke him, so I wouldn't hate me just because of a funny face, right? Then he's too idle !"

Boy Bai Yu was stunned, and said: "That's not what he said. He doesn't bear any grudges against us. There are countless boys and girls who adore him. If he mentions it to someone on a whim, we will be crossing the street." There's a mouse."

Xue Qinglan scratched her head dejectedly, and said, "Then his measure is too far from Senior Brother Xiqiu's, isn't he? Just like that, he is as famous as Senior Brother Xi? I don't think he is even worthy to carry the shoes of Senior Brother Xi!"

The more Bai Yu boy exaggerated that person, the more Xue Qinglan hated him, even before he even knew his name, he hated him from head to toe.What she hates the most in her life is the bastard who uses her status to overwhelm others, like the kind of son who casually looks down on her white goose, she is not interested in knowing it!
Boy Bai Yu sighed helplessly, feeling that he was really worrying in vain, thinking that the new owner would have some scruples because of this, but he didn't expect that he was so fearless, which really impressed him.From this battle, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of Xue Qinglan's personality.

At this time, Xue Qinglan saw Xiqiuzhi talking to two people on the side of the road from a distance, and immediately waved happily and called: "Senior Brother Xi!"

"Huh?" Xiqiuzhi was obviously taken aback by Xue Qinglan's arrival, hurriedly ended the conversation with those two fellow disciples, and walked towards Xue Qinglan.

"Hehe, Miss Xue, I haven't seen you for a day, you have become more beautiful... Oh, by the way, it's time to change your name to Junior Sister." Xi Qiuzhi was in a good mood when he saw her coming to him, with a smile on his face, and he talked to her as soon as he came up. joke.

Boy Bai Yu bowed to Xiqiuzhi, then retreated silently, leaving room for them to talk.

Xue Qinglan knew Xi Qiuzhi's temperament, so she didn't pay too much attention when she heard the words, but said with a smile: "Hey, Senior Brother Xi can really talk. Are you busy now?"

Xiqiuzhi raised his arm casually, pointed his thumb to the back, and said, "You mean the two of them? Oh, they were discussing privately over there just now and cut down two ancient trees. I just warned them to be careful. It's okay, small things, how can they be as important as our little junior sister's affairs?"

Xue Qinglan didn't notice that he called him "Little Martial Sister" when he came up. It stands to reason that she has the lowest seniority among her direct disciples, so it doesn't matter if she is called "Little Martial Sister".But the problem is that there is an unwritten rule in Taiqing Mountain, only the disciples of the same master can be commensurate by seniority, and other disciples of the same sect are already commensurate with each other's names, otherwise there are so many direct disciples in the whole Taiqing Mountain, I don't know how to rank each of them. What year to go.However, Xiqiuzhi called her little junior sister, obviously not treating her as an outsider, and Xue Qinglan had something on her mind, so she didn't notice this.

"Senior Brother Xi..." Xue Qinglan carefully chose her words, thinking about which one should be the best to ask the messy questions in her heart, and finally she planned to ask her first question first: "Why do you say Master?" Will you accept me as a disciple?"

"Ahem, this matter..." Xiqiuzhi rubbed his nose, and said with a guilty conscience: "Of course it's because my junior sister is very talented!"

Xue Qinglan pursed her lips unhappily, and said, "Hmph, that's not true! I know my own affairs, and I don't have any talent. Even if I have, it's not something that Master can just ask about my age. She doesn't even know me. I haven't even touched my hand!"

Xi Qiuzhi continued to say with a guilty conscience: "This...in fact, you don't need to touch it, just look at it. Junior sister, you don't know, you have a clear head, and you have meritorious deeds in your body. At first glance, you are reincarnated by a great chance. Broken-headed living baby! There are still a bunch of immortals and nobles waiting for you to inherit the mantle!"

Xue Qinglan didn't believe a word at all, and said, "It's no wonder! Brother, just tell the truth! When I arrived at Yaoguang Peak, it was obvious that all preparations were made, even the room was cleaned. I have planned it for a long time, just wait for me to nod, right?"

"Uh..." Xiqiuzhi felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with this little junior sister, so he said, "This...maybe Master Ling Yi has already taken a fancy to the junior sister's aptitude."

Xue Qinglan curled her lips, looked at him sideways, and said in a strange tone: "Senior brother, you really can't tell a lie! Have you noticed that every time you tell a lie, you always bring out the mantra?"

"Ah? Where is it?"

"Aren't you saying no? I said, is it because I can suppress Feng Yutian's fierceness that I was accepted? So you plan to use me as a first-aid kit and find an excuse to keep me forever?" She had already guessed this Point, so I am very sure, just waiting for Xiqiu's nod.

Xi Qiuzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Junior Junior Sister, you don't have to think so badly about us, right? Although there is a little reason for this, I guarantee that Master Ling Yi will really teach you with all his heart..."

Xue Qinglan waved a finger in front of his eyes, and said, "This is my biggest question: Why is it Master? Taiqing Mountain can completely leave me aside as an ordinary disciple, and then I will be a teacher when needed. It would be good to just take it out when I was born. But the gods bothered me to take me in as an apprentice, let me live in such a good place, use such good things, and arrange so well. This is so bizarre! I can't figure it out Already!"

She fixed her eyes on Xi Qiuzhi's eyes, so that the latter dodged and didn't know where to hide.She wanted to see what he was thinking through Xiqiuzhi's eyes. She believed that her intuition was not bad, and the rumor that she went through the back door should be related to Xiqiuzhi.

"Senior brother Xi, when the master of the Taiqing Palace wanted to accept me as an apprentice the day before yesterday, you didn't seem surprised at all and encouraged me very much. Even the piece of wood Feng Yutian froze for a moment, why weren't you surprised at all? ?” As she spoke, she approached Xiqiuzhi step by step, looking like she was interrogating a prisoner.

Xiqiuzhi was forced to question her, seeing that she couldn't hide the truth from this smart little junior sister, so she had to be honest:

"Okay, okay! Let me tell you! I went to recommend you to Master Ling Yi. I hope she can accept you as an apprentice, even if it is to introduce a master for you."

Xue Qinglan pursed her lips, as if she had expected his answer long ago, and then asked, "Why her? Where are the other uncles? What's so special about Master? How do you know she will agree?"

Xiqiu looked around, and saw that there was no one else except Boy Yu Bai who was standing far away, so he approached Xue Qinglan and whispered in Xue Qinglan's ear, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell others. It is said that Ling Yi Uncle Shi and my Master met in the early years. Uncle Ling Yi has always had a good impression of Master, and even gave up his superior position and life in the fairy world to follow Master and come to Taiqing Mountain to be a little elder. So I told Ling Yi Uncle, if her apprentice can help my younger brother, she will look at my younger brother with respect due to the love Master has for her younger brother. Of course, it would be even better if her apprentice and younger brother can be together, no If you say that kissing is more kissing, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Qinglan blushed and pushed him away, turning her back.

Xiqiuzhi scratched his head, knowing that he was about to say what he shouldn't have said in a moment of impatience. Girls are thin-skinned, how can they speak out in front of others?Oh, what a mistake...

But in fact Xue Qinglan was not blushing because of the girl's thin skin, but because of anger.

Although she knew that she had average talent and nothing outstanding, somewhere in her heart she still hoped to be affirmed by others. She hoped that others would say that she got a good master because she had something special about her.But now she is doomed to be disappointed. The reason why she got this "opportunity" is only because she is useful.

Fairy Ling Yi accepted her as a disciple only to get closer to Master Ziyuan, for the sake of Master Ziyuan!It's for Feng Yutian!It's for her personal affair!Not for Xue Qinglan's apprentice at all!No matter if it was Xue Qinglan or not, no matter who it was, as long as it had the body of a profound spirit, as long as it could gain the favor of Master Ziyuan, Fairy Ling Yi would accept him as a disciple?

So what is her excitement these two days, her longing for a new life, and her admiration for Fairy Lingyi? !

What if she is unwilling to help Feng Yutian?What if she didn't want to be with that wooden murderer?Then she is useless?Can she be abandoned by the master?She dared to say that if there was such a day, her master would definitely wish to kill her with his own hands.

To put it bluntly, her apprentice is no better than a pawn!
In an instant, all her affection and admiration for Fairy Lingyi, as well as the beautiful image she had when Fairy Lingyi taught her yesterday, instantly collapsed, shattered to nothing!
That's right, she wants to cultivate immortality, she wants to join the fairy sect, she wants to become a master, she wants to die!
but!She hopes to get everything she deserves with her own strength, wisdom and courage. She hopes to step out of a path that belongs to her, instead of being used or handed over by others!

Just like the poor have the self-esteem of the poor, she, Xue Qinglan, also has her pride.

She can be proud of victory or failure; she can be proud of getting or giving up; but she can't stand being fooled by anyone!

Her pride is never shown in front of others, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. On the contrary, Xue Qinglan is an extremely stubborn person. The light and darkness in her heart are the strongest. Sometimes she may be a kind person, but she never Not a fool.

Today, if she manages everything today, if she asks Xiqiuzhi for help, then she will be proud to say that she has succeeded.But not now, she is the one being manipulated, she has been used, if she hadn't been careful, she might not have discovered the truth, and she might have foolishly thought that she had really received a pie from the sky.

She was being fooled, and that was the worst thing she could accept.

But the person who fooled her did everything for her benefit, and she believed that neither Xiqiuzhi nor Fairy Lingyi had any intention of hurting her.Especially Xiqiuzhi, he was completely thinking of his junior brother, and what he did was also beneficial to Xue Qinglan without any harm, which is understandable.

To say that Fairy Ling Yi is also a serious person, maybe she was a little selfish at first, but after excluding those things, she is indeed a conscientious and responsible master, and she is not sloppy with Xue Qinglan.

It's just that that bit of selfishness may become a knot in Xue Qinglan's heart for a long, long time.

Xue Qinglan was very angry, so angry that she almost couldn't control her temper.But after some ideological struggle, reason still defeated sensibility.

She has become Fairy Ling Yi's apprentice, and she is done and cannot be changed.Except for this concealment and some unpleasant gossip, Shimen did not feel sorry for her, and gave her the best residence, the best exercises, the best master, and a lovely white goose.Objectively speaking, despite her little resentment, she really has no reason to be dissatisfied.

She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.This move proved to be unsuccessful, and she calmed down quickly, the flush on her face gradually subsided, and she put on a fake smile again and turned to face Xi Qiuzhi.
