Chapter 1216 Cat...Owl?
When Qi Yun learned that his master's master wanted to see him, he was unusually nervous and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
“Master, actually I was from Qingqiu before, but I didn’t know how to deal with those people and couldn’t integrate, so I followed King Zhou. Over the years, I’ve rarely gone down the mountain,” Qi Yun rubbed his hands. “Is Grandmaster strict? Will he blame you for taking in a fox spirit?”
He looked down and straightened his clothes. "Am I dressed too flashy? Should I change into something black?"
"Oh, by the way, he probably doesn't know how we became master and disciple, does he?"
Before Song Chunxue could say anything, Qi Yun continued to pace around aimlessly.
"Oh no, he must think you've taken in a lazy, unruly monster. He's not going to kick me out, is he?"
"..." Song Chunxue was quite surprised; she hadn't expected him to be such a vixen.
She's definitely the shyest of all the fox spirits; even though it's our first meeting, she acts all mysterious and enigmatic.
"So, you really want to become my disciple?" Song Chunxue crossed her arms and looked at her with a leisurely air.
Qi Yun lowered his head and said, "At first, I was forced to do it. To be honest, I'm a very proud person. In all these years, no one has ever taken my pride off. You are the first. So at the time, I thought, 'I'll just do it. I won't lose anything.'"
As he said this, his voice grew softer and softer, "Besides, you're a human being. I can only call you master for a hundred years at most, and you should be in your thirties or forties now."
Song Chunxue picked up a fresh potato from the table and smashed it on his forehead.
"Fine, so you want to wait until I die to give you your freedom! You brat, I'll try to live for three or four hundred years and make you furious!"
Qi Yun covered his forehead, picked up the potato that had fallen to the ground and split open, blew off the dust, and put it in his mouth.
"Hehe, these potatoes are really delicious. Master, don't be angry. I already said it was just the beginning. Later, when I found out who your master was, I knew I'd gotten incredibly lucky... oh no, I didn't mean you were a piece of shit!"
Changfeng came in and tapped him on the head, "Insubordination deserves a beating."
"You deserve a beating." Changyun also tapped him. "How dare you make fun of your master! You'll have to sew your mouth shut from now on."
"Senior brothers, I was wrong. I really didn't mean that. What I meant was that the disciples of the Moon-Accompanying Immortal will definitely achieve the Great Dao. Even if I don't succeed in achieving it by following them, I can still prolong my life."
Qi Yun's voice was gentle, and even when he was in a hurry, he remained quite calm. After all, he had lived longer than the average person.
"That's more like it." Changfeng sat down opposite him. "Don't be nervous. He won't do anything to you because of your identity."
Qi Yun rubbed his hands together but didn't say anything.
Song Chunxue thought of what her master had said and wondered what kind of person Qi Yun really was, and whether he was pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.
Tu Dan'er and Wu Ji had disappeared somewhere, and Han Mo came in.
Whether it was her imagination or she knew she was in the wrong, Song Chunxue felt that Han Mo was much more composed than before, and no longer pretended not to see her when he saw her.
He glanced at Qi Yun indifferently and said, "Sit down. Your grandmaster hasn't arrived yet, what's there to be nervous about?"
Qi Yun looked at his toes. "I think I'll just stand here."
"Are you feeling guilty? Are you hiding something from me, afraid that my master will see through you?" Song Chunxue teased him with a smile. "If that's the case, I advise you to confess as soon as possible."
Qi Yun glanced at Song Chunxue, then pursed his lips and remained silent.
Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Mo, "Is he really hiding something from me?"
Han Mo thought for a moment, "It's not that I'm hiding it, it's just that I haven't had a chance to say it yet."
At this moment, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal stepped into the house, followed closely by Zhang Chengxuan.
This is the largest room in the backyard, used as a reception hall.
The moment the two of them entered, the room felt cramped and crowded.
"Grandmaster." Qi Yun immediately stepped forward to greet him, but when he looked up and met the gaze of the Moon-Accompanying Immortal, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal glanced at him and sat down in the seat of honor.
Qi Yun thought to himself, "I didn't expect the immortal to be so young."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could calm down, he heard someone say, "Qi Yun, come here."
Qi Yun was immediately struck dumb, instinctively standing up straight and replying in a loud voice, "Yes!"
The other younger members couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qi Yun was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face, just like when Song Chunxue first met him. Upon closer inspection, he was even moving his hands and feet in unison.
Song Chunxue looked up at the roof. Sure enough, first impressions can be deceiving; you have to spend a lot of time with someone to see their true character.
She took on the apprentice out of spite, never expecting him to be such a good-for-nothing.
She calls herself a fox spirit; she's not even as good as a hedgehog.
Qi Yun stood before the Moon-Accompanying Immortal and said, "Grandmaster."
"Stretch out your hand."
"Okay." Qi Yun extended his palm.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal pressed directly onto his wrist.
Song Chunxue turned her head and silently asked her senior brother, "Take my pulse?"
Zhang Chengxuan smiled slightly and shook his head mysteriously.
"Switch to the other hand."
"Yes." Qi Yun cooperated and extended his other wrist.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal looked puzzled. "You haven't had a master before? Nor have you consumed large amounts of elixirs?"
"I didn't feel well after taking the pills, so I didn't take them much," Qi Yun answered honestly. "But does it count if my uncle lets me take ginseng and lingzhi?"
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal cut to the chase, "Didn't your people send anyone to protect you?"
Qi Yun's expression darkened slightly. "They've probably forgotten about me long ago."
"Why do you say that the owl that suddenly appeared in the forest on the mountain is one of yours?"
Qi Yun was shocked, "A cat... an owl?"
