"Oh no, how could I forget about that thing!"
Wu Er was taken aback. Looking at the stone slab in Han Qingxiu's hand, he was covered in sweat.
Because what was carved on that stone slab was none other than a love letter, a love letter full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) vibes!
That's a whole lot of dark history!
During those two hundred years of seclusion, someone grumbled and carved these stone slabs with a wave of his hand.
The contents on the stone slab were extremely embarrassing for Wu Er; they contained all sorts of nauseatingly sweet words, and even he felt awkward looking at them.
And now that the apprentice has seen it all, wouldn't that be...?
As he thought about it, Wu Er's face turned red.
This expression is quite comical, making him look like a primary school student whose diary has been read by someone else, with an immature shyness in his eyes and brows.
I really don't know who was it that said they were a mature and reliable person not long ago?
"Xiuer, what are you holding in your hand...?"
Wu Er pretended to be calm and then walked to the loquat tree.
Han Qingxiu was engrossed in looking at the stone slab when she heard Wu Er's voice. Startled, she quickly dropped the slab.
"No... I didn't do anything..."
Han Qingxiu took a small step forward, hiding the pile of stone slabs behind her back, and put on a well-behaved smile.
Didn't do anything?!
I saw it all! You're digging up my embarrassing past!
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Wu Er was actually panicking terribly.
But if you show your panic, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that the stone slab is your dark history?
In order to prevent his apprentice from discovering his dark past and to maintain a lofty image as a master, Wu Er felt it was necessary to show his calm side.
Han Qingxiu was equally flustered. She had already guessed that the stone slab was Wu Er's dark history, but she also dared not show Wu Er that she knew it.
She knew her master all too well; he had such a temperamental nature.
If I were to reveal that it was a dark history, I'm afraid my petty master would kill me to silence me!
So Han Qingxiu also chose to play dumb.
Well, now both of them, who are actually quite sensible, are pretending to be stupid.
"What...?" Han Qingxiu waved her hands and said, "I was... I was... looking at a sword manual, a stone slab sword manual!"
Perhaps due to nervousness, Han Qingxiu mumbled a few words, not even knowing what she was saying.
Wu Er calmly nodded and said, "Good, it's good to read the sword manual. You've practiced too much, so it's good to read the sword manual and summarize your experience. It makes me very happy."
Wu Er responded to the rambling words in the most serious tone.
A normally meticulous and polite person is rambling incoherently, while a normally unruly person is speaking seriously.
This conversation was truly bizarre...
What's even stranger is that the master and apprentice were able to continue this bizarre conversation!
Okay, to be honest, this master and apprentice pair is really weird!
"That's because...after all, he's Master's disciple. Master taught him well, haha!"
Han Qingxiu responded to Wu Er's praise with this sentence.
I wonder if Han Qingxiu would feel guilty saying "Master's teachings are good".
Why did my apprentice flatter me?
This unwarranted compliment prompted Wu Er to reflect.
Although he couldn't come up with anything by himself, since his apprentice had flattered him, and his embarrassing past was still in the apprentice's hands...
It seems the only safest course of action is to return the compliment!
With his somewhat eccentric thought process, Wu Er came up with this solution.
"How could that be? I am merely an assistant. Xiu'er, you are truly gifted!"
Upon hearing this, Han Qingxiu shrank back.
Something's not right!
Something's not right!
Instead of being happy about Wu Er's praise, Han Qingxiu began to panic.
It's so unusual to praise someone in such a serious tone out of the blue!
Something unusual must be going on!
So, does this mean my master is going to kill people without them having to speak out?!
Well, it seems Han Qingxiu's thought process is quite bizarre.
There's a reason why the two of them became master and apprentice.
Then the two of them said a lot of strange things, making it sound like they were talking in riddles.
If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't understand what they were saying. In fact, even this eccentric master and apprentice couldn't quite understand it.
After chatting for a while, Wu Er saw that the time was ripe and took the initiative to launch an attack.
"Xiuer, is that a sword manual on the stone slab behind you? Let me see it, so I can give you some pointers!"
Wu Er behaved very gently, and at first glance, he really looked like a "role model for teachers".
"This..." Han Qingxiu took an unnatural breath, "It's just a simple sword manual, which I already know by heart... so I won't trouble Master."
"How can that be!" Wu Er said with a serious face, "Even if it is simple, it should not be underestimated. The simpler something is, the more essential it is. So it is better for your master to explain this sword manual to you."
After saying this, Wu Er took a step forward, trying to get past Han Qingxiu.
Han Qingxiu, of course, would not give an inch. What was behind her was her master's dark history. If someone were found to have seen it, they would be dead!
"Xiuer, move aside, I need to take a look at that sword manual!"
Wu Er forced a smile, and emphasized the last two words, "sword manual."
"Hahaha~ Master." Han Qingxiu forced a smile and said, "This kind of sword manual is too vulgar, how could it be worthy of your attention?"
They've really said everything! This sword manual is vulgar? Why would this sword manual be vulgar?
