Chapter 950: Master, please say something, Master!
Gu Yin ruffled her hair and smiled as she took her hand: "It's good that you're relaxed and at ease. That means we've come to the right place. I'll take you to find a master!"
When the two arrived at Master Zhang Xuanyue's place, Master Zhang was waiting at the door.
"Master! Why did you come out to greet us!"
Master Zhang smiled and looked at the two of them: "Didn't you say before that you would bring someone with you when a new person comes? I guessed you were prepared, so you came out to see. This is your young friend."
Little friend? Little darling is a little shy and a little at a loss.
Gu Yin pulled the person forward: "Yes, this is the little girl I told you about before, Zhang Simin, nicknamed Xiaoguai. Xiaoguai, say hello."
Little Darling stepped forward and said, "Hello, Grandpa."
Master Zhang looked at her for a while, then reached out and calculated with his hands, frowning slightly: "How is your destiny being blocked?"
He then looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Did you guys block it for her?"
Gu Yin paused for a moment, then realized: "No, it was my master who helped. If she hadn't been blocked, she would have had a hard time moving around freely. If a weak and unlucky person encountered her, they would be even more unlucky. Xiao Guai, take out the pendant."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guai took the pendant out of her clothes and handed it to Gu Yin.
"Please take another look."
What's there to see? The moment the pendant was removed, the overwhelming malevolent aura immediately erupted! It was so powerful that he had to take two steps back!
That jet-black head is indeed a sign of being plagued by bad luck.
"Are you sure you want her to become my apprentice? I can't handle her bad luck." It would be better to just have her become Senior Jin's apprentice!
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "You can see her destiny directly! You are the perfect person to do this! No one else can see it! You are amazing! I don't need you to come into contact with her destiny, I just need you to guide her into the path of righteousness and let her know what this thing is."
To put it bluntly, it's about keeping her from going astray and making her a good person.
Gu Yin put the pendant back on Xiao Guai's neck.
Seeing the malevolent aura dissipate instantly, Master Zhang was once again shocked by Jin Wanli's methods—they were truly amazing!
"Alright, then she can become my disciple. However, I don't have any extra rooms here, so you can arrange for her to stay with the newcomer."
Gu Yin looked at the empty, uninhabited house and smiled helplessly. She was afraid of gossip. After all, only Master Zhang lived there, and Xiao Guai was already ten years old. They were not related by blood, and it wouldn't be good for her to live together.
"Okay, it's settled then. What preparations are needed for becoming an apprentice?" Gu Yin didn't quite understand the rules of Taoism.
Master Zhang waved his hand: "Outside, there's no need for such formalities; serving tea is enough."
Xiao Guai was also sensible. Without Gu Yin saying anything, she obediently went into the house, poured tea, knelt down in front of Master Zhang, and raised the teacup: "Master, please have some tea!"
Master Zhang nodded, finished his tea, and held out his hand: "This is a peach wood sword made of lightning-struck wood. You can carry it with you as usual."
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Guai reached out and took it, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's warm!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin immediately began searching, and what she found was astonishing – this was no ordinary peach wood sword!
It's a ritual implement for communicating with deities and praying for blessings! Other basic warding off evil spirits isn't a problem! Wait, what gift did her master give her when she became his disciple? I don't think so!
What a loss!
Gu Yin looked at Xiao Guai: "Well, why don't you chat with your master for a bit? I'll have someone take you back to your dorm later. I have something to attend to!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards Jin Wanli.
Jin Wanli had just come from Old Master Jin's place. Before he even entered the door, he saw Gu Yin running towards him. Judging by the speed, it was as if he was about to die and was rushing over to inherit the estate!
Jin Wanli's vision went black, and he immediately turned and left.
Gu Yin saw Jin Wanli from afar, and when she saw him about to leave, she immediately called out.
"Master! Where are you going? I need to talk to you! Don't go! Wait for me, Master!"
The shouts drew out Chi Xing and Gu Ran, who were living nearby.
"Senior, Sister Ayin is calling you! Didn't you hear her?" Chi Xing smiled and looked at Jin Wanli.
Jin Wanli closed his eyes, sighed, and turned his head.
Gu Yin ran over quickly, smiling as she looked at Jin Wanli: "Master! Where are you going!"
"I'm not going anywhere. Tell me, what do you want?"
Gu Yin pretended not to see Jin Wanli's helplessness and pulled him into the house by his sleeve.
"Come on, let's go inside the courtyard to talk!"
Chi Xing and Gu Ran followed them in, looking on with amusement.
Gu Yin poured tea for Jin Wanli first, and only spoke after he had finished drinking it.
"I just took Xiaoguai to Master Zhang's place. She successfully became his disciple, and Master Zhang gave her a lightning-struck peach wood sword! That thing is incredibly powerful; it's actually a magic weapon! You tell me, Taoist things are truly amazing, warding off evil spirits and protecting the home... No, Master, I haven't finished speaking yet! Where are you going!"
Jin Wanli stood up before Gu Yin could finish speaking.
"Oh, well, I forgot that Mr. Jin wanted to see me about something. I'll go over there. You guys keep chatting!"
Seeing that the person was really about to leave, Gu Yin quickly called out with a smile, "Master, why didn't I receive a gift when I became your disciple? Did you forget to give me one?"
Jin Wanli: "..."
Hahahaha!!!
"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough!!"
Chi Xing and Gu Ran were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight! Gu Yin was just too funny! They had never seen Jin Wanli so speechless and helpless before!
Before they were master and disciple, Gu Yin wouldn't have been so presumptuous; she was somewhat more restrained. Now, she's completely shameless! Hahaha!
Gu Yin coughed twice, suppressing a laugh: "Master, Master? Please say something, Master?"
Jin Wanli remained silent.
Gu Yin continued, "Master? Why aren't you saying anything? According to the rules, shouldn't you give your disciple a gift or something when they formally become your disciple? Don't you have this custom where you're from?"
Jin Wanli took a deep breath: "Well, I was in too much of a rush that day and forgot to give it to you. Wait here, I'll go get it."
After saying that, he walked into the house.
Chi Xing said helplessly, "Sister Ayin, aren't you afraid that Senior Jin will dissolve our master-disciple relationship by being so presumptuous?"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: "Master isn't the kind of person who's stingy! Besides, I'm so outstanding, well-behaved, and sensible! How could Master bear to part with me?"
...
Upon hearing this, Jin Wanli, who had come out of the house, paused for a moment, and when he lifted his footsteps again, they sounded somewhat heavy.
As Gu Yin listened to the change in footsteps, she put her fist in front of her mouth, covering the corners of her mouth that were turned up.
"for you."
Gu Yin quickly reached out and took the purse that Jin Wanli handed her. It was a frosted purse, and she couldn't tell what the material was.
Gu Yin opened it and poured out a piece of gold, with mysterious patterns, uh, gold?
Thinking of something, Gu Yin looked at Jin Wanli in surprise: "Master! This isn't your shell, is it!"
This looks very similar to what I've seen in the water before!
