Chapter 221: Meeting a Bad Teacher
Li Xiu looked at him in disbelief and said, "Master, I am Li Xiu!"
The Thousand Needle Doctor looked at him in confusion: "How could I have a disciple like you?"
He took a step back, angrily looking at himself, and grabbed Tao Zi and walked towards the yard.
Tao Zi followed behind him and asked in surprise, "Hey, Brother Xiu?"
He walked angrily and said, "How can a fellow who can't even recognize his own apprentice be qualified to be a master? Anyone who wants to be my master can do it!"
The Thousand Needle Doctor looked at his back in confusion and said to his friend, "Wu Chou, there seems to be something wrong with this kid's brain."
Cheng Wuchou looked at him with a smile and reminded him, "I remember you said that you had a disciple named Xiaoxiu before. He was very clingy and you had a hard time getting rid of him."
Hearing this, the Thousand Needle Doctor was stunned for a moment, Li Xiu paused for a moment, and walked even faster.
Tao Zi glanced at Li Xiu's back and felt pity. This man really had a bad teacher.
"Xiu'er! Xiuxiu! Xiaoxiu!" The call and footsteps of the Thousand Needle Doctor could be heard from behind. "Master was wrong. Master's brain wasn't working well just now. Please wait for Master!"
Li Xiu walked faster and faster, and finally let go of Tao Zi's sleeve and escaped with a talisman.
She raised her eyebrows, realizing for the first time that Li Xiu had the potential to be a tsundere and spoiled child.
The Thousand Needle Doctor's hands flew past her, hurriedly rushing to explain.
She looked at the medical practitioner's back with great interest when a voice suddenly rang out from behind her: "Miss Tao, would you like to go for a walk together?"
She turned to look at Cheng Wuchou, smiled slightly, and said, "It is naturally my honor to be invited by the True Lord."
Cheng Wuchou was stunned for a moment, and his smile deepened.
Tao Zi looked at him, a little puzzled: "True Lord?"
He said, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of my sister."
She walked side by side with Cheng Wuchou, not falling behind even a step.
Cheng Wuchou didn't care about these things and said, "Miss Tao, if Lu An didn't catch up with his apprentice, I hope you can explain it for him."
"Explain what?"
He said, "I left Li Xiu behind because something happened to me and he was anxious to come over to heal my wounds, but I had enemies watching me, so it was not convenient to bring him here."
Tao Zi asked curiously, "Why doesn't he remember Li Xiu?"
"Not long ago, we went to a ruin. The flow of time was different from that outside. Two days passed outside, but it felt like a hundred years for us."
"I see." She nodded, and suddenly realized something, "What did the True Lord just say?"
Cheng Wuchou smiled even more.
Tao Ziming understood that this person just wanted to watch the fun.
"Ancestor!" Cheng Anran's voice rang out.
Tao Zi looked up and saw her running towards her from a distance.
Cheng Wuchou said gently: "An Ran, why are you in such a hurry?"
She called out to Sister Tao before continuing, "Ancestor, I forgot to ask yesterday, how is my father now?"
"He's still in seclusion."
Cheng Anran lowered his head in disappointment: "Ah, in that case, Anran will not disturb the ancestors anymore. Goodbye."
Looking at her hurriedly leaving figure, Tao Zi smiled and said: "You come and go in a hurry."
"An Ran has always been like this." Cheng Wuchou smiled and shook his head, then said, "I heard that you don't plan to stay long?"
Tao Zi didn't even ask where he heard it from, but simply nodded and admitted, "Yes."
"Then why not take An Ran with you? She's quite capable and has always wanted to go out and explore the world."
She refused: "I'm sorry, Zhenjun."
Cheng Wuchou continued, "Her father is only forty years old this year, but he is already in the Xuanzhao period and has unlimited potential."
"Even if you go out to explore, you don't have to look for us."
He sighed, and the smile on his face faded a little: "I have too many enemies. I never know when they will be wiped out again. I will send as many away as I can."
Tao Zi looked at him in surprise and said bluntly, "Master, you can find someone else. We have a lot of things to do here."
"If I see you like it, I'll just say it casually. If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, it's okay too."
Cheng Wuchou sent her back to Zhushuiyuan before leaving.
Tao Zi looked back at his back thoughtfully. There were not many Nascent Souls who were so approachable.
Little did she know that Cheng Wuchou's action had made Cheng Anjing think for nearly half an hour. Cheng Anran, chewing an apple, said slowly, "What's there to think about? Our ancestors have always been very kind to people who have a good impression of us."
Cheng Anjing sighed softly: "There are not many people who can catch the eye of our ancestors."
"I've already said that Sister Tao is a good person, second brother, don't you agree?"
Cheng Anyue touched her head and said with a smile: "Why do I remember you were talking about her..."
Cheng Anran hesitated for the next sentence, snorted, and said, "It's all the same. By the way, why did the ancestor suddenly come back? Logically, he should have reached the north by now."
Cheng Anjing poured a cup of tea and told them: "Our ancestors encountered some strange corpse demons and alien races on the way, which delayed their journey. So they simply came back."
Cheng Anran suddenly realized and said, "Then I was wrong about Master He. When he calculated, he said that the ancestor was safe on the road and would not return in the short term. I even laughed at him this morning."
Cheng Anyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed her hair again.
Cheng Anjing sighed: "Master He is good at fortune-telling, but even the Heavenly Dao cannot predict the affairs of alien races."
She snorted again and said, "Come on, you're making it sound like the Heavenly Dao is so powerful. Ancestor has calculated the whereabouts of Great-Aunt so many times, and the Heavenly Dao's answer has never been correct. Even if we hadn't encountered the alien race this time, it's unlikely that Ancestor would have found Great-Aunt in the north."
Cheng Anjing didn't scold her, but just reminded her: "An Ran, you can't criticize the way of heaven like this outside."
"I know."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and their indifference towards the Way of Heaven was evident in their words.
After Tao Zi returned to the yard, she stroked the little fox's fur and said, "Brother Qing, is Li Xiu back?"
Yue Qingya looked at her in surprise and said, "Isn't Fellow Daoist Li with you?"
She recounted what had just happened and everyone laughed.
Han Yueshan's thoughts were elsewhere: "Being able to get to know a Nascent Soul, this medical practitioner seems quite capable. Senior Sister, should we not use the spirit stone?"
Xi Jing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Yes, Senior Sister, the one on you..."
She remembered that there were outsiders present and swallowed the words back.
The Flower Monk didn't think too much about it and took it over and said, "Your strength is increasing too fast. It would be a good idea to let a medical practitioner take a look at it."
Yue Qingya looked over and said, "Come to think of it, it doesn't seem far away."
Tao Zi knew what he was talking about. She calculated the time in her mind and said, "I know. I know exactly what he was talking about. By the way, come here for a moment. I have something to show you."
Although Yue Qingya was puzzled, he nodded and left with her.
