"No way! Look, I've already offered to take you on as my apprentice. Aren't you tempted?"

The old man said anxiously.

“I’m not interested. I’m still so young and have no intention of becoming an apprentice. Besides, your Tianqing Sect is so poor. I don’t want to starve to death.”

"If you are not willing to become my disciple, young friend, may I follow you?"

"Follow me?"

Su Ya countered with a question.

"Your roasted rabbit is quite good."

Suya realized that the old man was a typical foodie.

However, she is only 6 years old in body.

It's not a bad idea to let the old man follow him; it could be considered a form of protection.

So Suya nodded.

Suya looked at the nest she had built in the tree.

If she's alone, she'll hide in the bed in the space and sleep.

But now that I have a grumpy old man by my side, it's not so good.

But if you let her sleep on the branches instead of the bed, she'll never be able to sleep with her back like that again tomorrow.

The old man clearly sensed that Su Ya seemed to have something she couldn't say.

So he asked, "Young friend, has something happened?"

"Yes, there are."

"Then why don't you tell me? I might be able to help you think of a solution."

"I'm wondering how I'm going to sleep tonight?"

"Young friend, don't you have a house?"

You mean houses.

Suya shook her head.

"I think you must be someone who has space, so you shouldn't be without a house."

Suya...

"Alright, since you've eaten my rabbit meat, I'll give you this house. I built this house for my apprentice."

The old man handed over a ring as he spoke.

Suya did not answer.

She didn't want to be an apprentice.

"Then forget it, I don't want to acknowledge you as my master."

"Then consider it a gift from me to you."

In the end, Su Ya reluctantly accepted the ring.

How do I use this?

"You only need to think about the house in your mind."

Suya found a clean spot.

Then there's the house I'm thinking about.

Then she saw that there really was a house in front of her.

It can't really be called a house; it's more like a thatched hut.

Su Ya thought to herself, "Thank goodness I didn't become an apprentice."

At the same time, Suya also saw it.

Next to it, another identical thatched hut appeared.

Looks like this belongs to an old man.

"I wonder if this house can be upgraded?"

Holding the ring, Su Ya asked.

"Of course you can. This is actually a pre-built house that you put into the ring space."

The old man said somewhat embarrassedly.

The main reason is that he was really too poor.

There's no money to build a house.

The money to build this thatched hut was money he had saved up.

Of course, this cannot be told to the young friend in front of me.

Suya...

I used to think that Master Changqing was poor enough, but I never imagined that the founder of the Tianqing Sect was even poorer.

Could such a patriarch really possess some extraordinary cultivation technique?

It's worth it for those people to send them in.

It was already dark.

Suya sprinkled insect repellent powder around the thatched hut.

This was also prepared by the old Taoist priest Changqing.

Only then did they enter the thatched hut.

Then he entered his own space and lay down on the bed there.

I haven't been able to sleep since moving to a new place.

I didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly.

After Su Ya fell asleep, the old man came out of his thatched hut and counted on his fingers for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the girl's origins. The only thing he could figure out was that the girl had some connection with him.

Actually, the old man had only thought of taking on a disciple on a whim. He saw that the girl was wearing a Taoist robe, which didn't fit her quite well, probably because he had picked it up somewhere. He felt sorry for her, mainly because the girl's cooking was just too delicious.

Others build sects, so he builds his own. Others have more and more disciples, but his sect has only had him for many years.

They didn't even have a permanent residence for the establishment.

Although he claimed to be the leader of the Tianqing Sect, there are thousands of sects of all sizes in the martial arts world.

For so many years, he lived like a homeless child, without a fixed abode, and was even less successful than the Beggars' Sect.

However, when he was young, he had a natural arrogance that refused to admit defeat; to put it bluntly, he didn't respect anyone.

The thing I do most every day is fight with people.

This led to the formation of many enemies.

To avoid being discovered by his enemies, he had no choice but to live in seclusion in this dense forest.

This time, however, he unexpectedly encountered someone who shared the same illness as him.

Tianqingzi, the leader of the Tianqing Sect, has unilaterally concluded that this little girl, like herself, was forced to come here.

Moreover, he felt an instant connection with the girl.

Was it truly fate that he was destined to take this girl as his apprentice? That's why she came to his side.

(BMG interlude here: Who brought you to my side? It was the round, bright moon.)

Master Changqing: Grandmaster, of course we are related. He is my disciple, your great-great ...

Su Ya roared: You old bastard!

Reader: Of course, it's the author.

Luckily, Su Ya didn't know. If she had, the fact that the old man wanted to take her as his apprentice because of her cooking skills would have been a laughing stock.

She would be a complete kitchen idiot in modern times.

Don't let Su Ya's intelligence fool you; she learns quickly and has a high IQ, but her cooking skills are a major weakness. The phrase "inferior cuisine" doesn't even begin to describe it; someone unfamiliar with her might think she's making something poisonous.

I never expected to be praised for my cooking skills one day.

Actually, Su Ya cooked a meal once in Nanlin Town when she was very young, but she almost set the old house on fire.

From then on, Grandma Yan never let her into the kitchen again.

Suya also consciously stayed away from the kitchen from then on.

Because she was too tired, Su Ya had already fallen asleep and was unaware that the old man had actually come out of the house.

When I woke up the next day.

Suya didn't feel tired at all.

He pulled out a wooden basin from the middle and went to the river to wash up.

This old Taoist priest seems to have been prepared all along.

Everything prepared was replaced with ancient items that could be replaced with ancient ones.

After Suya finished packing.

Then he remembered to pick up the scissors and cut his Taoist robe just right.

The Taoist robes were put on in advance in the valley.

After the body shrank, the clothes also became larger.

Yesterday, Suya just tied a knot casually.

After cutting it, I just used a lighter to trim the edge.

When I came out, I saw the old man.

At the old man's feet was a pheasant flapping its wings, but no matter how much it flapped, it stayed in the same spot.

Suya then realized that this old geezer seemed to be more powerful than the old Taoist priest.

The old man woke up early from hunger.

Then he stared longingly at the thatched hut next to him.

Half an hour has passed, but no one has come out from inside.

So they had to get a pheasant, but they were afraid that if they killed it beforehand it would not be fresh, so they cast a binding spell on it.

When Su Ya came out, she looked at her expectantly.

Su Ya sighed, "I'm not afraid of getting an upset stomach from eating wild pheasant so early in the morning."

Su Yali ignored the old man and instead took out a pot, lit a fire in the same spot as yesterday, and started boiling water.

Before going to bed last night, Su Ya took stock of the things in her spatial storage and discovered there was even a refrigerator inside. Don't ask where the electricity came from; she simply didn't know.
