Guan Rong couldn't help being surprised when the little boy told him that Yan was looking for him.
——His master actually came to him on his own initiative? !
As the first disciple of the master of Tianshang Mountain, Guan Rong was indeed excited and proud at first to be accepted as a disciple by Yan Chu, who was "the best in the world".
But that bit of positive emotion had long been worn away by the day-to-day interactions with the Master.
Anyone who meets a master like that probably won't be able to respect him.
Guan Rong had no complaints about asking his apprentices to run errands, cook, and handle affairs for him. After all, "disciples should do the hard work."
so!
Even if he asked his disciple to go down the mountain to buy roast chicken in the middle of the night, he insisted on eating summer berries in winter. On a whim, he sent his disciple to the Moon Altar to get cold dew wine. When his disciple came back shivering from the cold, he complained that it was too slow and asked him to put it back...
Guan Rong was not angry either.
I’m really not angry at all!
——These are all trials!
After all, not everyone is qualified to be the apprentice of the “best in the world”!
As for the other party, when teaching his disciples, he would do whatever he thought of, completely ignoring the normal progress, just based on his whim that day.
For example, one day when he came to a cliff, he suddenly said he wanted to teach his disciples how to fly a sword, and then without saying anything, he kicked the disciple next to him down... His body fell rapidly, his mind went blank, and when he was only a few millimeters away from the ground, he was pulled up by the belt, and then someone looked enlightened, "Ah, I forgot to explain the Fa Jue to you."
Guan Rong: @#￥%……&*
For example, he would often bring his apprentice to a monster that was far beyond his ability to match, and then stand by and watch as the apprentice was beaten up by the monster. Finally, he would sigh and say something like "What can I do if you are so weak?", and then casually crush the monster to death. It would depend on his mood that day whether he would continue to taunt the monster or not.
——This is nothing!
It’s all training!!
However, daily relaxation is "playing tricks on apprentices"...
This is what is really unbearable!!
For example, in the middle of the night, a world-class person suddenly appeared at the head of a disciple's bed quietly, startled the drowsy disciple and laughed at him loudly. The next day, during the morning class, he found that his expression when he woke up in the middle of the night was drawn and posted on the wall of the Tianshang Mountain disciple school, and was watched by everyone...
Guan Rong:!!!
The hand pressing on the hilt of the sword trembled slightly: There. Is. One. Day!
…
…………
Yan Chu was indeed not a very patient master. Ever since he was sure that his disciple’s ability was just acceptable and enough to deal with most unexpected situations, he simply threw the sect affairs to his disciple and went down the mountain to “travel”.
Even if he occasionally returned to Tianshang Mountain, he could not find anyone there. It was obvious that he had no intention of visiting this disciple who was being exploited by him.
However, compared with Yan Chu's previous inhumane behavior, he now just throws the sect's affairs to his disciples, has nothing to do, and travels in the mountains for more than 300 days a year.
To be honest, Guan Rong even had the illusion of breathing a sigh of relief.
——Then conscientiously take on the responsibilities that do not belong to you now.
…
But the other party suddenly said that he wanted to see him...
Given someone's bad record, Guan Rong's first reaction after hearing the news was to be vigilant after a brief surprise.
——What does that person want to do? !
But even if he had ten thousand objections in his heart, Guan Rong had to go.
It wasn't just because of the master-disciple relationship - if possible, Guan Rong would have paid a large sum of money to change his master: whoever wants to be the master's first disciple can do it! - but because that person definitely has a hundred ways to achieve his goals.
#If you make him unhappy, he will definitely make you a hundred times more unhappy to come back! #
That person's temperament was like this, and Guan Rong, as his disciple, understood it very well.
Therefore, Guan Rong temporarily put down the matters in his hands and walked towards Mingxin Tower with a heavy heart.
He was mentally prepared along the way, for example, a terrifying-looking monster would get close to his face as soon as he got there, and a smiling master would follow behind him, saying nonchalantly that it was "a gift I brought back from traveling" or something like that.
Even if he encountered such a situation, he would never change his expression!!
It will not give someone an opportunity to take advantage of it (for example, draw a picture of his expression at that time and paste it next to the plaque of Tianshang Mountain for people to see or something like that… #咬牙切牙.jpg#
Guan Rong walked into Mingxin Tower with heavy steps. This was where the head of Tianshang Mountain handled daily affairs. However, given the irresponsibility of a certain genuine head, if it weren't for the disciples who came to clean it regularly, this place would probably have been covered in dust long ago.
But it was empty-handed.
How should I put it...not surprising at all.
Calling people over and then disappearing himself is something that Director Yan could definitely do.
If this was the extent of the prank today, Guan Rong would have been relieved.
Thinking of this, Guan Rong realized with mixed feelings that his expectations of his master had already fallen to this level.
Guan Rong: “…”
“…………”
Although waiting here is an option, I don't know what kind of trouble that person will cause when he comes.
Guan Rong vaguely guessed where the other person was, but he was not sure whether he should go over there.
——But if Director Yan is really in that place, he doesn’t know how long he will have to wait...
Guan Rong hesitated for a while, but finally walked in one direction.
It is the forbidden area of Tianshang Mountain, the Demon Locking Tower.
Although it is a "forbidden area", Guanrong was taken there when he was very young because of a certain inhuman master.
At that time, he did not have the concept of "forbidden area" in his mind. Xiao Guanrong, who was exhausted by his master, only felt that the area under the tower was the safest place in the world.
Only in that place would his master, who was always thinking of new ways to play tricks on him, be a little quiet.
Xiao Guanrong, who was under pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age, finally had a place to relax. He even developed a habit of "running to the bottom of the tower when he was in a bad mood."
Of course, after knowing what that place was, Guan Rong also realized that it was not an exaggeration to say that the place was "the most dangerous place in the world", let alone safe.
——The Demon Locking Tower.
Suppressed inside are the vicious demons that have been sealed by the predecessors of Tianshang Mountain.
Not to mention if one or two monsters escaped from inside, even if a little demonic energy leaked out, it would be enough to take the life of Xiao Guanrong, who had no cultivation at that time.
The former has only occurred a handful of times since the records of Tianshang Mountain began, but each time it was a disaster for the world. The latter is not so rare, otherwise the area around the Demon Locking Tower would not have been listed as a forbidden area for the sect.
After learning the truth, Guan Rong rarely went there. When he suddenly went there this time, he actually felt a little strange.
In addition, there is a sense of unexpected security.
Guan Rong: “…”
Sure enough, compared to the monsters in the Demon Locking Tower, his inhuman master is more threatening...
"Rongrong, you're here?"
Having noticed the disciple's arrival a step ahead of time, Yan Chu was not at all surprised. He withdrew his gaze from the top of the tower, and the original expression on his face instantly changed to his usual careless smile. When Guan Rong appeared in his sight, he greeted the disciple who came over very enthusiastically.
In contrast, Guan Rong, who was being greeted, did not have such a good expression on his face.
Guan Rong:!
He managed to control his expression with great difficulty and not let it become too distorted.
——Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! After getting angry, this guy laughed even happier!!
The so-called "Rongrong" is not Guanrong's childhood name, but a nickname.
As for the origin of this nickname...
One time, a certain unkind master put a velvet flower in his apprentice's hair.
With the best ability in the world, it was easy for him not to alarm Guan Rong, whose cultivation was not yet at the highest level at that time. So, Guan Rong, who was completely unaware of the situation, wore the velvet flower in his hair for the whole day.
That day, it was the Seven Sects Competition...
Guan Rong couldn't imagine how many people saw his image that day.
——Don’t think about it, don’t think about it, as soon as you think about it your fists will harden!!
Guan Rong took a deep breath, and using his years of experience in dealing with unkind masters, he ignored the provocative smile on the other's face, took a step forward calmly, bowed his head and saluted politely, "Disciple greets Master, may I know what important matter Master has summoned me to? "
Then Guan Rong heard the other party make a low "tsk" sound, and muttered in a voice that he was sure to hear: "It's really getting less fun as you grow older."
Guan Rong:!
It was intentional!
——No, don’t be angry!
If you get seriously angry at this person, you lose!
But it is indeed the same as before, when they are under the Demon Locking Tower, the other party's behavior is always much more restrained.
Apart from the very first word "Rongrong", Yan Chu didn't cause any other trouble.
"How about I find you a junior fellow apprentice?"
Yan Chu found a place to sit down, lifted his clothes, and pulled out a piece of grass from somewhere and held it with his teeth. The furry end swayed up and down as he spoke, making his voice unclear.
This overly casual attitude really didn't seem like he was talking about the big deal of accepting a disciple, but Guan Rong knew that his master might not be a human being, but except when he was deliberately teasing people, he rarely told lies.
Now that you say that, you're probably serious.
Guan Rong’s first reaction was “Who is so unlucky to be noticed by this guy?”
After realizing your thoughts.
Guan Rong: “…”
No, that can't be said.
At least the title of "Number One in the World" is intimidating enough to deceive people... no, to gain their trust...
Guan Rong's remaining conscience prevented him from watching others jump into the fire pit. He tried to fight for this poor little boy who might become his apprentice in the future: "The matter of accepting a disciple is a serious matter, and it needs to be carefully considered."
Director Yan still maintained his nonchalant attitude and said casually, "Be careful? Yes, be careful... I am really careful this time. I have been thinking about it for several days."
Guan Rong: “…”
This casual tone is not convincing at all.
And...several days? According to his understanding of his master, this "several days" would definitely not exceed three days.
Guan Rong took a deep breath and continued, "When it comes to accepting a disciple, it still depends on your mutual consent... Master, you should ask for the other party's opinion first."
Director Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Will he be unwilling?"
Guan Rong: “…”
“…………”
This overconfident attitude made him choke, but after calming down, he had to admit that what Yan Chu said actually made sense...
After all, he is the "number one in the world". Before people get to know his evil nature in depth, I'm afraid many people would rush to become his apprentices.
When he was accepted as a disciple, wasn't he secretly excited for a long time?
Thinking of those old things, Guan Rong couldn't help but sigh deeply at his own ignorance in the past.
As for the unlucky little fellow who is about to become his junior fellow apprentice.
Guan Rong could only say: ...I'm sorry, I, your senior brother, have tried my best.
Yan Chu spat out the grass in his mouth, suddenly moved closer to Guan Rong, and asked in a relatively serious manner: "What about you? What do you think?"
"If I find you a junior fellow apprentice, will you be unhappy?"
"Suddenly, an outsider came and stole the master's attention and took away his favor."
"From now on, you will no longer be the only disciple of the headmaster, and he will endanger your position... Maybe one day, I will pass on the position of the headmaster to him instead of you..."
Guan Rong: “…”
“…………”
In the end, he couldn't control himself and showed a confused expression of "Who am I and where am I?"
Guan Rong thought it was just a routine prank, but after carefully observing Yan Chu's expression, he found that the other party was serious.
Guan Rong: ... #complex mood.jpg#
He had always thought that Director Yan had a clear understanding of how annoying he was, but now it seemed that was not the case...
The master’s “attention” and “favor”… If this master is Yan Chu, then he would have everything he wanted. Guan Rong would wish he could pack up and send them all away immediately.
As for "endangering status" and "the position of the head"...
Because of a master who didn't care about him, Guan Rong started to handle the affairs of the sect at a very young age and took on the responsibilities that the head of the sect should actually bear. Not only did he have to deal with the whims of his master with trepidation, but he also had to bear the rise and fall of the entire sect... He was burdened with a heavy burden that he shouldn't have to bear at his age...
Judging from what Director Yan meant, has he decided to pass this burden to his future junior fellow apprentice?
Guanrong couldn't help but think of what the other person had just said - "It becomes less fun as you get older."
Because he was "not fun anymore", so Yan Chu planned to find himself a new "fun"... No, a "disciple"...
Guan Rong couldn't help but look over with an expression that said "what kind of beast are you?"
Then he received a heavy blow on the forehead.
Guan Rong: “?”
Yan Chu spoke first: "I feel like you are cursing me in your heart."
"Not 'respecting teachers' at all!"
Guan Rong: ...
If you want others to respect their teachers, then at least act a bit like a teacher yourself!
"You haven't said it yet. What do you think? About your junior brother."
Director Yan seemed to be extremely persistent about the answer to this question and asked it again.
Guan Rong: ...
He found that the other party's address had changed to "your junior brother".
Guan Rong mourned for this poor little brother who was doomed to fail. He thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I will protect him well, as a brother..."
He had no way out back then, but this time it is different. He will definitely protect this junior brother from the clutches of the master.
Director Yan seemed stunned by this answer.
He stood there in a daze for a long time. After he came to his senses, he subconsciously looked towards the top level of the Demon Locking Tower. But when he raised his head, he restrained himself and looked away.
…
…………
There was a brief silence between the master and the disciple.
Guan Rong: "Master?"
He felt that Yan Chu's expression was a bit strange, as if she was laughing but also about to cry. It was so complicated that he couldn't tell for a moment whether the emotion was more positive or negative.
But that gloomy emotion only appeared for a moment. When Yan Chu heard Guan Rong's question and looked over, the expression on his face returned to normal.
Yan Chu: "What's wrong?"
He asked this question, and seeing the hesitation on Guanrong's face, he suddenly realized, "Don't worry, Rongrong, even if you have a junior brother, you are still the treasure in Master's heart."
Guan Rong: “……?!”
Is this a threat?! Is this a threat?
——It’s definitely a threat!!!
