Chapter 138 Two pieces of news: Neither child...

Neither of the two children is a stingy person, and with Fu Li, a master of keeping things balanced, except for the initial teasing of Wukong by Nezha, the two get along very harmoniously.

In the morning, Fu Li taught Nezha, Jiang Ziya taught Shen Gongbao, and Wukong ran here and there, occasionally listening in.

In the afternoon, he would play with Nezha, or Fu Li would take them out for a walk.

But this harmony was broken after three days.

Yin Hua has found a suitable house, not far from the Li family, just across the street.

But when Nezha found out, it was as if the sky had fallen. He hugged Fu Li's legs tightly and wouldn't let go. Sometimes he cried and made a fuss, and sometimes he chatted in a gossipy way, which made Fu Li feel helpless and amused.

She and Yin Hua coaxed Nezha for a long time before he finally understood why she wanted to move out.

This kind of etiquette and human feelings are not something a five-year-old child can fully understand. Therefore, although Nezha understood, he was still confused about Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao.

——If Fu Li hadn’t taken the two of them with her and only took Wukong, there would be no need to move out.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but they didn't want to bother with a little kid.

Two years later, Nezha had almost mastered all his cultural studies. Jiang Ziya was even more impressive. With just the bamboo slips Fu Li gave him daily, he studied the successes and failures of the policies of successive Shang kings, and even taught Shen Gongbao along the way.

However, Shen Gongbao had little talent for politics, but he possessed an astonishing understanding of military strategy. Over the past two years, he had focused more on learning the etiquette and moral codes of the human race, a path similar to that of Nezha.

Two years later, Taiyi Zhenren arrived and took over Nezha's education, and Fuli then concentrated on teaching Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao.

As for Wukong, although he was not yet at the age to love learning, he had learned most of the characters in Shu through subtle influence in such a strong learning atmosphere.

As for the characters used in the Central Plains, the characters used in different places were different at that time. So, like Shen Gongbao, he only learned the characters used in the capital of the Shang Dynasty.

Although the Shang Dynasty moved its capital many times, the characters used by the royal family remained the same. The characters used in Chaoge today are not much different from those used in Boyi at the beginning.

During these two years, Fu Li carefully observed Li Jing, trying to find out the reason for his bad attitude towards Nezha.

The result surprised her but not at all unexpected.

It turned out to be jealousy.

She had seen this kind of drama of parents being jealous of their children many times in her previous life, not only online but also in real life.

Therefore, she understood better than anyone else in this world that this situation was unsolvable.

The more successful their children are, the more jealous these parents become. If their children realize something and deliberately act weak and sympathetic, the parents will not show sympathy, let alone eliminate their jealousy. Instead, their mentality will swell, and they will intensify their suppression or even engage in PUA.

After much deliberation, Fu Li decided to start with Yin Hua. First, she wanted Yin Hua to see clearly that Li Jing's excessive harshness towards Nezha was not out of the mentality of "wanting his son to become successful".

At the same time, he taught Nezha not to doubt himself because of his father's denial.

In the past two years, both Yin Hua and Nezha have achieved considerable results.

Li Jing is also a decent man. Whenever there is an outsider around, he behaves like a normal father with a stricter tone.

And as Yin Hua became more sober, he pointed out to him several times, both openly and secretly, and he gradually stopped saying those words that suppressed Nezha.

Yin Hua didn't want to think anything bad of her husband. She just felt that he had realized his mistake and corrected it, and she felt very relieved.

But Fu Li knew that the other party was probably just better at hiding it.

According to her original plan, she would only stay in Chentangguan and wait for Nezha to survive the calamity at the age of seven, and then she would no longer interfere with Nezha's fate.

But Li Jing's behavior made her wary, and she decided to stay for a few more years until Nezha had completely formed his sense of right and wrong.

=====

On this day, everyone celebrated Nezha's eighth birthday together. Fu Li suddenly received a message from Qingxu Daode Tianzun, asking her to go to Ziyang Cave in Qingfeng Mountain on a certain day to attend his disciple-accepting ceremony.

Fu Li had just finished reading this when another message popped up. It was from Daoxing Tianzun. This message was similar to Qingxu's, also inviting her to attend the disciple-taking ceremony, but the time and address were changed.

Oh, by the way, there is one more difference, that is, Daoxing Tianzun specifically indicated that he is destined to have three disciples, and he wants to accept them all at once to avoid wasting everyone's time.

After reading the message, Fu Li looked at Master Taiyi, who had also clicked on the message on his phone, and asked, "Master Taiyi, have you also received messages from Masters Qingxu and Daoxing?"

"Got it, got it." Taiyi Zhenren sighed, "In the early years, the family cave was still deserted, and all the fellow apprentices envied me for having a good disciple. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, everyone wanted to take a disciple."

Jiang Ziya was quick-witted, Shen Gongbao meticulous. Both men keenly sensed that Taiyi Zhenren's sentiments were complex. However, with so little information available, they couldn't deduce their true purpose.

But Fu Li knew that the original purpose of the Xianjiao asking the Twelve Golden Immortals to recruit disciples was to let the disciples survive the calamities of the mortal world on their behalf.

However, only Taiyi Zhenren, who has actually accepted a disciple, can truly understand that once a master-disciple relationship is established, the relationship naturally changes. When the time comes to send disciples to the battlefield of Conferred Gods, it is certain that they will be reluctant to let them go.

But things had developed to that point, and it was no longer possible to change them simply by not wanting to let go. Even if he was reluctant, he still had to let go. From then on, every day the disciple was on the battlefield, the teacher would be in constant fear.

Fu Li quickly changed the subject: "Master Qingxu is only accepting one disciple this time, but Master Daoxing is accepting three at once. We need to prepare three similar gifts."

Preparing gifts is not a burden for Fuli and Taiyi Zhenren, as they have no shortage of these things.

Preparing three portions at the same time, and making sure they are of comparable quality, will take a bit more effort.

Otherwise, the three brothers, who came from the same school, ate, slept and studied together all day long, would be embarrassed to compare the gifts they received and rank them according to the gifts given by the same person.

Taiyi Zhenren said, "I still have many magical treasures that I refined myself. I can find seven or eight of them with similar functions and spirituality. Come with me to Qianyuan Mountain and pick out a few."

The seven or eight items he mentioned are naturally all valuable acquired spiritual treasures.

After all, he is one of our own disciples. How can I fool him by sending him a gift?

Fu Li shook the mirror in her hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Taiyi, you are too late. My teacher has already prepared it for me."

Taiyi Zhenren took a closer look and saw on the mirror the message that Zhao Gongming had just sent, saying that the gifts for Qingfeng Mountain and Jinting Mountain were ready, and asked her to return to Emei Mountain first, and then they would go there together as master and disciple.

Taiyi Zhenren sneered, "This old idiot is quite quick with his hands. He's showing off, isn't he?"

Nezha whispered to Wukong: "Does the teacher have a grudge against my sister's teacher?"

"I don't know." Wukong shook his head, with a small question mark on his head.

Fu Li quickly poured him a glass of wine: "Teacher Taiyi, drink, drink."

Taiyi Zhenren sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and no longer mentioned Zhao Gongming.

These two people are usually quite reliable, but when they encounter something related to each other, they tend to get angry and like to compete with each other.

After the banquet, Fu Li took Wukong, Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao back to her own house and asked them whether they wanted to stay in Chentang Pass or follow her to various caves to see the world.

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao both chose to accompany her to the apprenticeship ceremony. Wukong, however, hesitated for a moment before finally choosing Fuli over Nezha.

"I want to go with my mother, too."

Fu Li made the decision: "Okay, let's go back to Emei tomorrow and then we can go together."

As for Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren arranged a training course for him, so Fuli couldn't interfere. She sent a message to Taiyi Zhenren, who told them to go ahead and not wait for him.

So, the next morning, Fu Li and his group went to Mount Emei.

As luck would have it, Mount Emei was hosting a launch event for the latest mobile phones, the kind that was live-streamed online. They went along and each of them received a new model phone as a souvenir.

Luo Xuan, the Flame Immortal, has become the boss of the R&D department, leading about 20 to 30 people. They are either proficient in formations or weapons, and none of them are ordinary people.

After the press conference, Luo Xuan came over and first caught up with Fu Li. He then told her, "The leader is recruiting priests. I've already signed up and am preparing to apply for the position of Fire Virtue Star Lord."

He then advised Fu Li, "Although you have good aptitude, your destiny is not compatible with the immortal path. Don't listen to outsiders who say that the immortal path is noble and the divine path is lowly. We are all beneath the heavenly path, so how can we distinguish between noble and lowly? Before the recruitment meeting starts, you should also sign up."

Fu Li knew he meant well, but there were some things he couldn't say, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Master, I've already signed up. With my abilities, I can definitely become an emperor, right?"

Luo Xuan laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying, "I knew you weren't that fussy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the nerve to say such things in front of you."

He knew Wukong, but he didn't know Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao. After bowing his head and greeting Wukong, he glanced at the two and said, "Are these two also your disciples?"

Fu Li first asked the two to come forward and greet them, then introduced them, "Jiang Shang is my second disciple, and this Junior Brother Shen Gong is my teacher's newest disciple. I will be teaching him on his behalf, so he is almost a disciple."

Because there are so many secondary creations in Fengshen, the character of Shen Gongbao has both good and bad sides.

So when they first met, Fu Li watched coldly from the sidelines, neither suppressing him nor helping him, just watching him act.

Although Shen Gongbao had little knowledge and acted somewhat timidly, and was somewhat jealous of Jiang Ziya, who was better than him in every way, he never tried to trip him up.

Jealousy is human nature; the inability to control it is the key. Fu Li has always judged deeds, not hearts. Shen Gongbao's ability to control his jealousy is considered pure and kind.

As for his problems, they were simply due to his lack of resources for education.

Later, she saw that he was clearly very eager for the magic treasure, but he was still willing to give one of his only two magic treasures to Wukong as a gift. Fu Li felt that he was not timid by nature, but he did not have good things in the past, so he had to be frugal.

The combination of these two factors doubled Fu Li's fondness for him. Furthermore, she was accepting disciples on behalf of her master, and Shen Gongbao's treatment from her was comparable to that of Jiang Ziya. When she spoke to Luo Xuan, she was completely frank and natural.
