Chapter 10 The apprentice was divorced (Follow up)
On the first day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan got up early and went out. He didn't see the figure who was practicing hard. There was no one to cook for him, feed the chickens, and grow vegetables. He had to do it all by himself.
I always feel uncomfortable all over.
The day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan became worried again.
"My silly disciple won't die in the Evil Forest, right?"
"He has been here twice and everything was fine. He should be fine this time too, right?"
…
On the fifth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan came to the hillside outside the village and looked in the direction Xu Yan left, but saw no one coming.
I felt relieved.
"Even if I was exposed and wanted to catch me as a liar, I wouldn't have arrived so quickly."
"Will I be found out?"
"Sigh, Xu Yan is a stupid boy with a bad brain. He comes from a good family, so there will always be people with good brains, right?"
"If this is discovered, wouldn't I be in trouble?"
Li Xuan's heart was in a mess and he was a little worried.
…
On the tenth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan was watching from the hillside. Once he realized something was wrong, he hid and ran away.
"This apprentice didn't die in the Evil Forest and never returned home, right?"
"Or, grounded?"
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Li Xuan cursed secretly: "Fuck! It's not that I had to lie to him. It's because his own brain is not working well. There is no way he can blame me."
"I did such a bad job, it's so embarrassing!"
Li Xuan sighed. He, a time traveler, was so embarrassed!
…
On the eleventh day, Xu Yan finally came back.
"Master, the disciple is back!"
Seeing Xu Yan respectfully greeting him, he was the only one here, and no group of people showed up to tie him up, a liar. Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, just come back!"
His expression was calm, as usual, as if he already knew about Xu Yan's return.
"Master, this is a little thought from my disciple."
Xu Yan placed two long boxes on the table.
"I'm interested!"
Li Xuan looked calm and raised his hand to open a box.
Inside is a sword. The scabbard is entirely golden, engraved with patterns of auspicious clouds and auspicious animals, and inlaid with nine red, white, and blue orbs in total.
Baby!
It was priceless at first glance, and Li Xuan was very excited. This silly apprentice's background was richer than he expected.
His face remained calm, seemingly unmoved.
He reached out and picked up the sword in the box. It was a bit heavy.
There are nine orbs inlaid on both sides of the scabbard, for a total of eighteen orbs. Just these eighteen orbs are worth a lot of money.
The hilt of the sword is inlaid with two larger red orbs.
Li Xuan slightly drew his sword out of its scabbard, and a golden light appeared in front of his eyes. This was a sword made entirely of gold!
Return the sword to its sheath and put it back in the box.
Li Xuan's seemingly calm face was actually trembling with excitement in his heart.
"If you get rich, this sword can be passed down as a family heirloom. You won't have to worry about escaping to the Kingdom of Wu in the future."
There was a hint of approval on his face, and he said: "I am very happy that you have this intention. Although this sword is ordinary, it is not bad to play with it once or twice."
Xu Yan was immediately excited when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Master, as long as you like it!"
"Master is truly a reclusive master. He is unmoved by such a priceless sword. He just thinks he can play with it."
My respect for Master was once again heightened in my heart.
Li Xuan opened the second box. Inside was a flawless jade Ruyi. His eyes lit up slightly. This jade Ruyi was a treasure at first sight!
"good!"
Li Xuan nodded and expressed satisfaction.
"Master, I also brought some precious medicinal materials."
Xu Yan took off the package and said.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "He also found that after taking these rare tonics, his body became better? Do you think it is beneficial to cultivation?"
"This tonic, as usual, you weigh it carefully before taking it."
Li Xuan took a look and saw that there was no nine-leaf Yuanzhi and no thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Among them, there were two five-leaf Yuanzhi and three hundred-year-old wild ginseng, which were also rare medicinal materials.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan put away the medicinal materials, started to clean up the house, and prepared to cook.
Li Xuan was satisfied. This apprentice was sensible and knew how to finish the work as soon as he came back.
"Huh? What's going on? He looks frustrated. What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Li Xuan found that although Xu Yan was working, his expression was quite depressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Could it be that someone reminded him when he returned home this time, which made him a little suspicious?
Or maybe you haven't sensed Qi and blood for a long time, haven't entered the skin refining process, suffered some setbacks when you got home, and feel depressed?
"We can't let him get depressed. He's already done this. If he doesn't continue to lie, he will easily fall into trouble."
"His confidence must be boosted!"
Li Xuan thought so, so he said: "Disciple, why are you depressed? Is it about cultivation?"
Xu Yan stopped wiping the table and said with some frustration: "Master, it's not about cultivation, it's about my disciple... When my disciple came home this time, the engagement was annulled!"
Um?
break off an engagement?
Li Xuan was stunned and muttered in his heart: "Breaking off the engagement? Your name is Xu Yan, not Xiao Yan. That's fine. There's no way to counterattack. It's such a sad story!"
"What's going on? Why did you break off the engagement?"
He asked, showing the master's concern for his disciple.
Xu Yan looked depressed, lowered his head and said: "She said that my brain is not working well, and it would be too embarrassing to be with me."
She's right, your brain is really not very good!
Li Xuan muttered in his heart.
He stood up and patted Xu Yan on the shoulder. No matter what, he still wanted to comfort his apprentice.
"You are my disciple. She broke off the engagement because she was blind."
"Master is right, I think so too."
"Then did you yell, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty?"
Li Xuan asked with a dry cough.
Xu Yan glanced at his master doubtfully and said, "Master, I am not poor!"
grass!
Li Xuan's brows jumped and he felt like his heart was being stabbed!
He immediately said with a serious face: "Disciple, why are you not poor? My teacher said that you are poor because of money? No! It is because of your poor cultivation, your poor strength, and your poor knowledge of martial arts!"
Xu Yan suddenly looked ashamed and said: "Master taught me that I am poor, I am very poor!"
Then he said: "But don't worry, Master, I haven't lost my ambition. Although I didn't shout a word about "Don't bully the poor young man," I also told her that if you ridicule me, humiliate me, and abandon me today, you will regret it someday.
It’s too high to reach, too high to reach!”
At the end of the sentence, Xu Yan raised his head slightly with firm eyes!
The corner of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart: "Why does this kid feel like a child of luck? It must be an illusion!"
"Well, disciple, you have such ambition, which is very good."
Li Xuan saw that there was still some despair in Xu Yan's eyes, so he added: "Breaking off the engagement is not a bad thing for you. You must know that only after setbacks can you be brave."
"The geniuses of ancient times all rose from setbacks."
"In the process of cultivation, we should pay attention to enlightenment, clear mind, and self-clarification!"
Patting Xu Yan's shoulder, Li Xuan said sternly: "Disciple, there is a saying, 'If you don't have a woman in your heart, cultivation is like having a god.' You have been divorced. If you have no woman in your heart and no thoughts, you must have made great progress!"
