Although Qiuniu's temperament was relatively mild among the exotic beasts, it was still one of the Nine Clans after all, so how could it be without temper? Moreover, everyone was young and frivolous at that time.
If it were today, Gong Yizhu might have avoided it and waited until daytime to talk to someone, but why would he care about that at that time? So the two of them started fighting on the spot, demolishing half of the store building in the middle of the night. In the end, it was Que Cangjiang who noticed the situation and rushed back from a hundred miles away at night to stop the two from continuing their fight.
After that, they kept greeting and fighting each other until Que Cangjiang passed away. Zhen Shuangliu disappeared from the world as if he did not exist. Gong Yizhuo stumbled into Qinglong Academy in a daze and eventually became the Mr. Gong Yi he is today.
In fact, in the later stages of the conflict, Gong Yizhu had become more and more fond of Zhen Shuangliu, but at that time the relationship between the two had become irreconcilable, and provoking each other was the only way for them to communicate their feelings.
However, he guessed that on Zhen Shuangliu's side, the psychological changes might be completely the opposite, and he might even feel hatred for him to the core - this snake charmer was a stubborn person with a one-way thinking loop, and he couldn't understand the complex emotions of more than one plus one.
Gong Yizhu habitually plotted against the snake charmer in his mind, then suddenly saw his beloved disciple standing beside him. He smiled thoughtfully and said solemnly to Luo Jiujiang, "Jiujiang, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"Why do you say that, sir?"
"I see that the corners of your eyes are messy, your nose bridge is sunken, your eyes are bloodshot, the lines between your eyebrows are messy, and your forehead is black and your eye sockets are blue... no matter how you look at it, it's a bad omen." Gong Yizhu said seriously.
Luo Jiujiang was slightly stunned by this. He didn't really believe in fate, but Master Gongyi clearly did; otherwise, he wouldn't have said things like, "Your name favors fire and overcomes water." Since the other party had said so, he followed Master Gongyi's lead and said, "Then, in your opinion, what should I do?"
"According to what I've learned..." Gong Yizhu pondered, "These facial features all point to one thing."
He repeatedly teased Luo Jiujiang's appetite, which really piqued his curiosity. Seeing Luo Jiujiang staring at him with wide eyes, Gong Yizhu smiled in his heart, but his face remained solemn as usual: "You are destined to lack a master."
"Ah?" Luo Jiujiang cried out in shock.
"Wait sir, I have a master!"
Gong Yizhu remained calm as ever, imitating Cangjiang's ability to lie three points at a time: "Oh, the one you worship can't be considered a master. Wait for me and I'll calculate. Today is an auspicious day. Ah, it just so happens that I am also a famous teacher who is hard to find in the world. You are my kind of child. Come to Jiujiang and kowtow here to become his master. You know that the master has always been easy-going and doesn't even care whether he is offered tea or not!"
"...No! That's not right! Wait! No no no sir, something's wrong!"
————————
Later, Luo Jiujiang thought back and felt that the apprenticeship had been a half-serious joke. If he had dared to agree, then Master Gongyi would have been willing to replace his master. However, seeing how hard he struggled (Luo Jiujiang hadn't even struggled that much when he was ordained to protect himself from being half-deathly killed), Master Gongyi just laughed it off.
When returning from the forest, Mr. Gongyi did not forget to ask for his opinion and helped him move the Wangtianhu engraved with the sword spirit back to the academy and erected it like a Huabiao, as if he was still the kind and dignified elder in the past.
——He didn't know what the kind and dignified elder was writing at the moment.
Gong Yizhu dipped his brush in thick ink, writing the letter with ease and grace. Even his pronunciation was melodious, and his letter was even more so, with its rhythmic flow and beautiful rhythm. But no matter how smooth the pauses were, they couldn't conceal the letter's core message: I will raise your disciple like my own son.
With his rich experience in struggle in his early years as a foundation, Gong Yizhu could foresee that when his letter reached Zhen Shuangliu, the other party would be so angry that he would bang his head against the wall.
His thoughts flowed like a spring, and he finished the work in one go. After blowing the ink dry, he pressed it with his own small seal and put it in the envelope with satisfaction. A slight smile appeared on his face, and the reflection of the bamboo forest outside the window was a beautiful scene that could not be described in words.
Luo Jiujiang happened to come in through the door carrying a cup of tea. He saw his cheerful smile at first sight and immediately complimented him, "Sir, you are truly an extraordinary person. Every frown and smile of yours is filled with the qualities of a modest gentleman."
Being a gentleman is certainly good, but a gentleman doesn't take away what others like. Gong Yizhu heard the child's implication and smiled even more deeply.
Luo Jiujiang had never said such things before, but he started saying them after he was almost "taken in as a disciple." He was on guard, knowing that if Master Gong Yi was determined, he wouldn't be able to escape. So, he decided to do the opposite. He'd been spending more time with Gong Yizhu these past few days, and whenever he had the chance, he'd say a few words like this to remind him. Gong Yizhu knew what he was thinking, but he didn't try to stop him.
The child had been serving him diligently these past few days, and Gong Yizhu had taken this opportunity to teach him more of his most valuable skills. Although the two of them weren't yet master and disciple in name only, they had already established a strong relationship.
"Come here, Jiujiang." Gong Yizhu waved to Luo Jiujiang. "Please send this letter to the Lord of the Spirit Snake Realm for me. Tell the disciples of the post office that it's from me. I want it to be urgent and delivered within a day."
"Remember, you must go and deliver it in person."
Luo Jiujiang took the letter and thought casually: The Lord of the Spirit Snake Realm? The Lord of a realm, he must be an old acquaintance of Mr. Gongyi.
For some reason, when he thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine.
The author has something to say: Mr. Gongyi (smiling): I really like the snake charmer, believe me.
[World Announcement] The Spirit Serpent Realm Master was disconnected due to anger and is currently reconnecting...
