Chapter 27: Tao Zi
After their excitement died down, Xi Jing suddenly became worried and said, "Master, Junior Sister said that her enemies are very powerful and numerous."
"Are you scared?"
She shook her head: "I'm not afraid, after all, I guessed it a long time ago."
The wounds all over the body, the damaged spiritual veins, the cloak that must be worn when traveling, the dagger thrown on the ground in the inn, all these things were placed in front of them. Unless they were blind and stupid, it was impossible for them not to see them.
"So what are you worried about?"
Xi Jing hesitantly said, "Junior sister, I can't stay away from people forever, but the human skin mask seems a little expensive. Master, how about you stay busy for a while and make some more money?"
The master glared at her and scolded her, "Don't try to take advantage of me until you've paid off your debt!"
Xi Jing was defeated and could only settle the accounts in frustration.
Zhao Xue hesitated to speak, and the master said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
He replied in a serious tone, "Yes, Master."
The corner of the master's mouth twitched: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Master, Junior Sister clearly has the intention to join the sect, so why do you still say that we won't live long? Isn't this making Junior Sister doubt our intentions?"
Han Yueshan sighed deeply and said, "Master, I told you not to let me read so many books. Look, my brain isn't working well anymore."
Zhao Xue pursed his lips and said seriously, "Reading can teach you etiquette. It doesn't matter whether your brain is good or not. The most important thing is that your character should not be bad."
He rolled up his sleeves, looked at his junior brother with a smile, and asked kindly, "Junior brother, what do you mean by this?"
"It's nothing, I just feel like I've read too much and my brain isn't working anymore. I really can't figure this out, so I hope you can give me some advice."
Han Yueshan looked at him suspiciously, but could only see his sincerity. Finally, he generously explained, "This way, if our enemies come looking for us, Junior Sister will take us with her to wander the world for our survival instead of leaving alone."
Xi Jing echoed from the side: "That's right, although Junior Sister is beautiful, she has a rather gentle personality. We can't let her escape alone."
Zhao Xue nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense."
The master was silent for a few seconds, then looked at his disciples and said, "Is this just my illusion? Why do I feel like you're looking forward to it?"
The three disciples all shook their heads, madly denying that they were interested in things that sounded very exciting, such as being hunted and wandering around the world.
However, after denying it, Han Yueshan still hesitated and added: "Master, if the enemy really comes, you'd better hide quickly. After all, you are old and can't stand the stimulation. You can't let us escape while preparing for the wedding and funeral at the same time."
The master's eyes went dark and he raised the crutch in his hand tremblingly. The other two disciples took a step back tacitly, waiting for the storm to come.
While they were making a fuss in the study, Yue Qiran sat in the room, deep in thought.
She could only think of one reason why Tiandao took action - aliens.
Could it be that there was a traitor within the Ming Lan Sect, and that Heaven was using her to eliminate him? But she had already left the Ming Lan Sect and was still a crippled person. Why would Heaven have to hand this matter over to her? Or was there something else going on?
Yue Qiran sat there thinking hard, but there was no result. She could only let it go for the time being, but her vigilance towards Minglan Sect became even higher.
The inner demon suddenly appeared at this moment, but she didn't even look at it and said, "Can you please not come out every day? It's very annoying."
"It's not me who's bothered by you." The inner demon said disapprovingly, "By the way, you originally planned to leave once your identity was exposed, but now it seems that's not going to work. What will you do if they come looking for you?"
"Hide Master Wen, and then take the three of them and escape."
"Master Wen? Ha, Yue Qiran, I thought you were sincere in calling him Master, but in the end, this is it."
Yue Qiran smiled calmly. It didn't matter whether he was sincere or not. What mattered was that as long as he didn't harm her, she would always regard him as her master.
"But it's also true. After two hundred years of master-disciple relationship, it's become like that. It's normal that you don't dare to give your heart easily now."
"You really want to irritate me?"
The inner demon rolled his eyes and said, "You are talking nonsense. I am your inner demon. I only want to lure you into the devil's trap. I don't want to anger you. How can I help you relieve your mood?"
Yue Qiran was speechless, mainly because it didn't seem like a demon in her heart, which made her forget about it occasionally.
"Yue Qiran, I don't think you can get what you want. After all, you treat them worse than they are now. You treated them like that before, let alone now."
"oh."
After hearing this short answer, the inner demon felt like he was having a heart attack for the first time.
Yue Qiran glanced at it and explained, "My requirements are not high. Just like any other sect will suffice."
"Difficult." It dropped the word meaningfully and disappeared. She seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, the next second, Xi Jing pushed the door open and came in, smiling and saying, "Junior sister, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held at noon."
She stood up again and went to the study, where the master sat and asked with a smile, "Miss, how old are you this year?"
Yue Qiran replied without blinking, "Eighteen."
"The Yisan Sect has always been open-minded, so you have two choices. One is to become a junior sister according to the order of initiation, and the other is to become a senior sister according to age."
She was just about to answer when Han Yueshan, whose eyes were inexplicably purple, spoke excitedly: "Of course it's Junior Sister. Junior Sister sounds so nice. Junior Sister, from now on, don't be polite. Treat this place as your own home. You can call me Senior Brother or Brother Han. Of course, Brother Han is more low-key outside."
I made a mistake before...
Yue Qiran swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and said, "Master, I want to be the eldest senior sister."
Han Yueshan was stunned, but his master spoke before him: "Okay. The apprenticeship ceremony will be held at noon. Yueshan, to celebrate having a new senior sister, from now until noon, you must pick ninety-nine peaches that look similar."
He was stunned. It was only an hour and a half away from noon. He just wanted to interject a few words, so why did the master have to make things so difficult for him?
noon
The master sat in the hall and said softly, "You have no name. Since I am your master, I will give you the name Tao Zi."
Yue Qiran, oh no, it should be Tao Zi, she kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master. I pay my respects to you, Master."
The master smiled and took out the master-disciple incense. This incense was made from master-disciple grass. Only by lighting it could it be proved that the way of heaven tacitly agreed to this matter.
Of course, generally speaking, they are all flammable.
After the simple, even crude, apprenticeship ceremony was completed, the master looked at the ninety-nine peaches and said with satisfaction, "There's no such thing as good things in the Yisan Sect, but I still have to give my disciples gifts. Yueshan, within three days, sell these ninety-nine peaches at the highest price in previous years. The copper coins you earn will be your senior sister's initiation gift."
