In the courtyard, Jiang Li'an finally laughed enough and began to comfort Wei Dongliu in a hypocritical manner.

"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Wei. I think that boy is quite stupid and doesn't look like a good candidate for cultivation. How about we go to other private schools?"

Wei Dongliu gave him a blank look.

What he was looking for was not a successor, but a trusted confidant... Of course, he couldn't tell this directly to Witch Jiang.

After calming down for a moment, Wei Dongliu came up with another plan and discussed it with Witch Jiang with a smile:

Didn’t Guo Jin have to listen to his tutor?

As long as I can deal with the tutor, won’t I be able to deal with that kid as well?

Witch Jiang fell silent upon hearing this, and her mind quickly turned:

What's wrong with Wei Dongliu? Why does he keep staring at that boy?

Could it be that the young man named Guo Jin possesses some special qualifications for practicing Taoism?

After thinking for a moment, she overturned this guess:

No! Long before coming here, Wei Dongliu had decided to find a disciple who was "honest and obedient".

The same should be true for wanting to accept Guo Jin. It is unlikely that it is because he has any "qualifications for practicing Taoism".

After some time, the two saw the old tutor coming back drunkenly with a piece of bacon.

Wei Dongliu stepped forward and asked directly:

"Old sir, do you have a disciple named Guo Jin?"

The old tutor looked up upon hearing this and was about to explode, but suddenly he held himself back.

Shangdang City is close to the southern section of Taihang Mountain, and monks from the Demonic Cult often come here to collect materials. Therefore, most civilians are very vigilant and know what "there is a difference between immortals and mortals" and "being at the mercy of others" mean.

Although the man and woman in front of him did not look overbearing, they did not have the courtesy of younger generations to the elderly. When they met, they directly asked about his disciples... What if he was a cultivator?

Thinking of this, the old tutor was sobered up by the shock and stammered:

"He is not my disciple, but his mother lets him stay in the private school... May I ask what can I do for you two? Perhaps I can help..."

"This boy and I are destined to be together. I want him to learn Taoism from me." Wei Dongliu went straight to the point.

He is indeed a cultivator! The old teacher nodded hurriedly and said:

"The fact that the Immortal has taken a liking to Guo Jin is truly a blessing that he earned in his previous life! I will go and explain things to him right away!"

Taking the two back to the classroom, Guo Jin saw the old tutor coming in aggressively, and hurriedly stood up to salute, but the old tutor stretched out both hands to hold his shoulders, and said with a smile:

"Guo Jin, I have watched you grow up since you were a kid, and I have long known that you are destined to be blessed!"

"Now the Immortal Master wants to accept you as his disciple. This is your good fortune. Go pack your things and follow the Immortal Master."

Guo Jin was stunned at the time, and said after a while:

"But……"

"Don't say buts!" The old teacher knew what he was going to say, which would definitely be some nonsense like "I can't switch to another teacher".

Of course, he was very clear about Guo Jin's honesty and stubbornness.

The problem is, the person who is interested in him now is a cultivator!

If the other party killed him with a sword and then said sinisterly, "Now you don't have a master anymore," where could he go to seek justice?

Therefore, the old tutor interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his words:

"Your mother asked you to stay at my private school, but she didn't say you had to study with me!"

"In fact, your mother has asked the village chief to tell me that if there is a chance, she will send you to a better place to study. Isn't the opportunity here now?"

As soon as the old tutor mentioned his mother, Guo Jin was deceived and said honestly:

"Since it is the teacher's order, Guo Jin dare not disobey."

He stood up from the table, knelt in front of Wei Dongliu, and kowtowed to him:

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Okay." Wei Dongliu nodded.

According to the customs of mortals, one would have to bring a gift of tuition when becoming a disciple, but he naturally didn't care about these etiquettes.

Guo Jin straightened his body and looked at Jiang Li'an beside him with hesitation.

This sister obviously came here with the master. It would seem awkward if I didn't salute her. But if I did, how should I address her?

He suddenly had an idea, and turned around and kowtowed to Witch Jiang:

"Disciple greets Master's wife!"

Poof! Wei Dongliu almost spit out tears. Jiang Li'an was also a little surprised, but he reacted in an instant and did not deny it. He just smiled and reached into his sleeve, took out a silver needle, and said:

"Good boy. I don't have anything else here, only a Ca Nu Su Yin needle, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Guo Jin did not answer it. He just saw Wei Dongliu's strange expression and immediately realized something was wrong. He said cautiously:

"My master is here, I dare not accept him..."

"Take it." Wei Dongliu sighed.

As for the relationship between himself and Jiang Li'an, there is no need to explain it clearly here - the old tutor, an irrelevant person, is still there!

"Congratulations, Master, for accepting a disciple!" Seeing his unfriendly look, the old tutor quickly said, "I'll go get Guo Jin's bedding and clothes..."

"No need." Wei Dongliu waved his hand, and he and Jiang Li'an took Guo Jin out of the classroom. The two of them pulled out sword lights at the same time, and caught Guo Jin off guard, and then soared directly into the sky.

Seeing the two people disappear into light, the old tutor stood there for a while before he sat down on the ground with a cold sweat on his back.

Taking Guo Jin back to Shiping Mountain, Wei Dongliu waved his sleeves to unlock the formation and drove the sword light in.

Jiang Li'an said nothing but followed shamelessly.

After passing through a long rock tunnel, the two arrived at the heart of Shiping Mountain.

When Jiang Li'an saw the scenery in the valley, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

I saw that the swampy depressions by the lake were originally overgrown with wild flowers and weeds, but now most of them have been removed, and the few good-looking ones have been transplanted elsewhere and planted with various magical herbs and medicines.

There are many stone houses built around it, arranged like stars in a maze, seemingly random and random, but if you look closely, you will find that they contain some kind of Qimen Dunjia.

Witch Jiang suddenly remembered that the style and layout of this stone house seemed to have been seen in the illustrations of the ancient books of the Jiejiao in the Tianmo Dao, or at least it was a similar layout.

Of course, she herself did not understand the knowledge of formations and could not recognize the specific mystical aspects of them... but she could see that there was an extremely powerful formation here!

Is this person really proficient in formations? He is hiding it very well!

Wei Dongliu heard the Kunlun Mirror's prompt again, and the synchronization value of the mysterious personality rose rapidly. He thought that this Witch Jiang was really cute.

No matter if they have bad intentions or treacherous thoughts, it doesn't matter. After all, this is the territory of the Demon Sect. Do you really expect that all the monks you meet will be kind to others?

As long as it's cute, that's all!

He was secretly happy, but showed no expression on his face. He just turned around and said to Guo Jin:

"My name is Wei, and this is Fellow Daoist Jiang. Don't make the mistake of recognizing him in the future."

"Disciple greets Senior Jiang." Guo Jin hurriedly apologized nervously, "I'm really ashamed of my previous misunderstanding..."

"It's just a name, but it doesn't matter." Jiang Li'an said with a smile, "I don't think Fellow Daoist Wei will mind, right?"

Wei Dongliu: ...

He ignored Jiang Li'an and continued to talk to Guo Jin:

"Our sect is called Wanfa Tongxuan Sect, and it inherits the tradition of the ancient Jiejiao Taiyi Tongxuan Zhenren. You must remember this."

"Yes, disciple has remembered it." Guo Jin repeated it silently in his mind several times and said seriously.

The ancient Jiejiao Taiyi Tongxuan Zhenren? Jiang Li'an also secretly took note of it in his heart, planning to go back to the Biyan Palace to thoroughly investigate the details of this name.
