HCB Chapter 645 My First Disciple
Chapter 645 My First Disciple
The scholar's excitement turned to curiosity: "So, that means we're just ordinary friends?"
Shijin: "Maybe they're better than ordinary friends."
The scholar asked, "Then a very good friend?"
Assorted: "Not really, nothing special, just... good friends?"
Scholar: "If one day your friend were to meet with some misfortune, would you, Immortal Master, be so heartbroken that you could not control yourself?"
Shijin thought for a moment and said, "I'll probably be sad, I'll definitely be sad for a few days. But I can't really say for sure, since I still have so many friends."
As Shijin spoke, she thought about the tens of thousands of fellow disciples in the Cangwu Sect.
They must be friends, right?
The scholar continued to inquire, "Does the immortal have many friends?"
Assorted: "Of course, who can blame me when everyone loves me and flowers bloom for me~"
Scholar: "Which of your friends does the immortal value most?"
Shijin thought for a moment, "Of course it's Duoduo!"
That's the person she's trying to win over, so naturally she values him the most!
The scholar remained silent for a moment, which was unusual for him.
But he quickly asked again, "Is the Duoduo you mentioned, Immortal Master, your wife?"
lady?
Shijin gave the scholar an approving look. Not bad, this kid knows how to read the room!
Just a moment ago he was calling her "your wife," and now he's calling her "the immortal's wife"?
It's true that "clothes make the man"!
When Yaochi Duoduo was mentioned, Shijin clearly became depressed.
"It's so late and she still doesn't come home. I wonder where that brat has gone!"
Seeing that Shijin was angry, the scholar wanted to help her, so he poured her a cup of tea.
"If the Immortal Master values his wife so much, why don't you go and find her?"
Could it be that you were worried about my health, and that's why you didn't dare leave? If so, it's my fault.
As for the tea, Shijin was also thirsty, so he took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh, you don't need to blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you. I didn't chase after her because my spiritual power is too weak to catch up with her."
The scholar paused, his eyes darkening, looking somewhat embarrassed. It turned out he had been deluding himself.
"The Immortal Master seems to have a pure and kind heart, how could he... become a Daoist couple with the Immortal Master's wife?"
Shijin sighed.
Daoist partner my ass! I haven't even won her over yet!
However, it seems that what the scholar truly cared about was not the relationship between the two, but rather Duoduo's actions.
To prevent the scholar from misunderstanding the female lead, Shijin quickly explained to him:
"No, it's really not what you saw before! Duoduo actually has her own reasons!"
Well, the main reason is that she was just too anxious, and when she got anxious, she lost her mind.
But don't worry, she was just saying that. I promise she won't actually do it!
Well… that’s what I said, but Shijin really had no idea what to do.
"The Immortal Master truly understands his wife very well. So, if the Immortal Master's wife insists on using marriage to lure out the Angry Beast, will you accompany her?"
The question about assorted ingredients left her somewhat conflicted.
After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded vigorously.
She didn't speak because she was feeling emotionally exhausted.
She thought that if Duoduo insisted on luring out the Angry Beast, then as Duoduo's friend, she would never abandon Duoduo alone.
Besides, if she doesn't stay with Duoduo, who will Duoduo marry?
Besides, she has some connection with the Angry Beast, and she can even communicate with it!
The real question now is whether the beast that came was a normal Angry Beast, or whether the one that massacred the village was actually an Angry Beast.
Shijin felt very upset because, compared to the real wrathful beast, she was actually more afraid of the Fairy of the Evening Pool who would massacre the village.
In the former case, her chances of survival are very high; in the latter, it's doubtful.
Or should we go back and find Chi'an now?
As Shijin pondered, she fell into deep thought.
Seeing her solemn expression, the scholar beside her obediently became quiet.
Shijin didn't know how long she had been lost in thought, she only knew that when she opened her eyes, she saw the scholar staring intently at her.
Shijin was startled. "What are you doing in the middle of the night?!"
However, before he could finish speaking, the scholar was suddenly thrown to the ground by a silent gust of air!
Assorted: ...?
Looking out the window again, I saw that the sky was already ablaze with the glow of dawn.
So, he had been lost in thought all night?
The scholar rubbed his chest as he got up from the ground, looking up at the assorted items with a terrified expression:
"Immortal, Immortal Master, please don't be angry! I was just worried because you've been sleeping for so long..."
Shijin quickly interrupted the scholar, correcting him seriously: "Watch your wording, it should be 'thought for too long'."
But the scholar was not convinced: "But the immortal is snoring, and the sound is extremely loud."
Assorted: ...
Okay, so he was asleep.
She knew it! How come her mind went completely blank after she started thinking?
To divert attention from the awkward situation, Shijin immediately put on a kind smile and helped the scholar up from the ground.
He asked, "Hey, what are you doing here? Why are you staring at me while I'm sleeping?"
But Shijin didn't realize that she was pulling on the scholar's sleeve, not his arm.
So, the loose-fitting clothes were torn open by the assorted pieces, almost revealing the scholar's shoulders and chest.
The scholar was so frightened that he brushed aside the assorted items and quickly turned around to re-tie his clothes.
Assorted: ...
Two grown men, is it really necessary?
Besides, you're wearing an inner shirt under your outer shirt! I haven't even seen your collarbone, why are you getting so worked up!
The scholar seemed to realize his mistake and quickly apologized to Shijin after straightening his clothes.
Assorted didn't take it seriously. We men are all about being easygoing, aren't we?
As for the scholar's purpose in coming, he was actually a little hungry because Shijin had been silent for a day and a night.
Scholar: "Immortal, are you hungry? Here you go."
Shijin brought over the tea: "What do you mean? You're giving me water because you're worried I'm hungry?"
Scholar: "Immortal Master, are you hungry?"
Shijin: "I'm hungry."
Scholar: "That's good, I'm hungry too!"
Assorted: ? ? ?
"What do you mean? Does this mean you're hungry and want this immortal to cook for you?!"
The scholar smiled sheepishly at Shijin and said, "I... I don't know how to start a fire."
Assorted: ...
Bah! Scholars are utterly useless! Our ancestors were right!
Since Yaochi Duoduo hadn't returned yet, Shijin had no choice but to stay temporarily in the Nyonya village.
Ever since the scholar was knocked to the ground by Shijin's gust of air, he has been pestering Shijin to take him as his disciple every day.
In order to get Shijin to agree, he even shamelessly started making up lies.
Today they claim to have some kind of divinely chosen spiritual root, tomorrow they say they've long admired the Immortal of Assorted Phenomena.
The day after tomorrow, he will claim that he is actually the younger brother of a high-ranking official of a major sect who was stranded in the mortal world.
Annoyed by Shijin's persistent requests, she finally agreed.
There's no need for formal apprenticeship.
However, Shijin felt that before becoming the scholar's apprentice, there was one thing she needed to know first.
So, what's your name, scholar? I can't keep calling you "scholar" all the time, can I?
The scholar excitedly replied, "My name is Joy!"
Assorted brains jumped up: ...Good, good name.
