Chapter 124: The Bad Female Master and the Reborn Blackened Loyal Dog 7
"The sword moves freely, and the footwork is not rigid."
Cha Jiu held Xuan Canglan's hand from behind and guided him to swing the sword.
Her cold voice was close to his ears, accompanied by the faint scent of orchid flowers, which made Xuan Canglan lose his mind for a moment.
"Focus." Cha Jiu noticed that he was distracted and reminded him.
Xuan Canglan quickly regained his composure and focused on the swordsmanship in his hand.
In fact, he had already learned this sword technique a long time ago.
But he still chose to pretend that he didn't understand, and practiced the sword technique under Cha Jiu's step-by-step guidance.
There is a strange sense of satisfaction in my heart.
Xuan Baiyu watched from the side, clenching the hilt of the sword in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable.
After learning it once, Cha Jiu took his hand back and patiently asked him: "Have you learned it?"
Xuan Canglan nodded: "I have learned it."
It is enough to pretend not to understand once. If you overdo it, others will think you are stupid.
Xuan Canglan still grasped the scale very well.
The teaching atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.
Xuan Baiyu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he walked over and said, "Sir, I don't quite understand this sword technique either..."
Cha Jiu interrupted him: "I just led Cang Lan to fight again. You watched it from beginning to end. Don't you understand? The Palace Master said that you are extremely talented, but it seems that is not entirely true."
Xuan Baiyu was choked by her words again.
He didn't know why, but he often felt aggrieved and speechless in front of Cha Jiu.
"If there is anything you don't understand, ask Canglan."
Cha Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat on a chair beside him to drink tea.
Xuan Canglan smiled, looked at Xuan Baiyu and said: "Do you need me to teach you?"
Xuan Baiyu clenched his teeth and uttered three words: "No need."
"Okay." Xuan Canglan walked back to his seat and continued practicing.
During this time, Cha Jiu got up and left for a while.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xuan Baiyu's swordsmanship became more powerful and he rushed straight towards Xuan Canglan, with every move being deadly.
Xuan Canglan dodged them all easily.
Xuan Baiyu was very surprised. When the two of them were in a stalemate, he asked: "You were not as good as me during the selection competition, why are you improving so quickly now? Did the Left Protector teach you privately?"
Xuan Canglan naturally would not explain that he had retained his strength during the competition.
Compared to this, he prefers to provoke the arrogant and noble Xuan Baiyu.
So he pretended to be surprised: "In half a year, it will be the assessment for the advancement of the Blue-robed Servant to the Black-robed Servant. Master is worried that I can't keep up, so he gave me more guidance. Don't you have any guidance, brother?"
Xuan Baiyu: “…”
He didn't.
He could only see Cha Jiu when he was training with Xuan Canglan.
What went wrong?
Why is Cha Jiu indifferent to his face that looks like Yu Bai?
Xuan Canglan felt very happy when he saw Xuan Baiyu's jealous and unwilling look.
He still remembered that in his previous life, Xuan Baiyu was always high and mighty, and as long as he opened his mouth, the master would offer him everything.
At that time, Xuan Baiyu never looked at him straight in the eye.
It was as if he was the lowest insect, and even looking at him for even a second was considered dirty.
But now, everything is reversed.
Xuan Baiyu was jealous of him.
How ridiculous
How smooth!
Cha Jiu, who was just coming out of the toilet, heard the system prompt.
"Xuan Canglan's favorability has reached 5%."
Cha Jiu shook the water off his hands and sighed, "Finally, it's a positive number."
System: "The road ahead is long, keep trying."
Cha Jiu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.
"A-Tong, redeem the 'Nightmare' seeds for me."
System: "Okay, the 'Nightmare' seed can make people dream about the most horrifying things in their hearts. But what do you want to do?"
A black seed appeared out of thin air in Cha Jiu's palm, and she casually threw it into the bushes in front of Xuan Canglan's room.
"I want Xuan Canglan to cry for his parents in his nightmares."
…
At night, heavy rain fell and thunder roared.
The dense rain fell on the roof tiles like a heavy hammer. The strong wind broke open the fragile windows, and the wet and cold rain poured into the dim room.
Xuan Canglan was awakened by the thunder. He was sweating profusely, breathing slightly, and staring at the curtain above his head in a daze.
He had a nightmare.
I dreamed about the night my father killed someone and defected.
He dreamed of Xuan Baiyu's contemptuous laughter when he was pushed into the Hundred Poison Pond by his master.
These dreams would recur as soon as he closed his eyes.
The original consciousness also fell into a deep sleep, and it was a very sweet sleep.
It seemed that he was the only one having the nightmare.
Xuan Canglan got up and drank the cooled tea, which slightly moistened his dry and sore throat.
The windows had been damaged by the storm and were shaking, making annoying banging sounds from time to time.
It looks like I won't be able to sleep well tonight.
A beautiful face suddenly appeared in Xuan Canglan's mind.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the room and into the heavy rain.
At this time, Cha Jiu had just finished bathing. Wearing a thin undergarment and a casual coat, he sat under the lamp and wrote something.
The system sensed someone outside the door: "Xuan Canglan is here."
Cha Jiu looked up and saw a shadow on the door.
Xuan Canglan stood there, neither knocking nor leaving.
It was as if he didn't need to come in, as long as he stood near where Cha Jiu was, his heart would be protected from the heavy rain and nightmares.
With a creaky sound, Cha Jiu opened the door.
"This door has to be repaired tomorrow." Cha Jiu said to himself, then turned to look at Xuan Canglan who was standing outside in the rain.
He was soaked all over and stood silently in the rain that was like a curtain.
"Come in." Cha Jiu said.
Xuan Canglan followed in obediently.
Bright candles were burning in the house, the elegant and fresh aroma of orchid incense filled the air, and behind the screen there was the mist and warmth after a bath.
One step difference, two completely different worlds.
Xuan Canglan stepped into the warm and quiet room, and the heavy rain and thunder behind him seemed to be blocked out.
An inexplicable sense of security enveloped him.
A clean long scarf fell from the air and just covered Xuan Canglan's head.
He wanted to reach out to wipe his wet hair, but a pair of hands came before him and landed on his head.
Xuan Canglan's vision was blocked by the long scarf.
But he could clearly feel how Cha Jiu's soft hands were gently wiping his wet hair.
She had a light scent of after-bath.
Xuan Canglan couldn't help but breathe heavily.
System prompt: "Favorability reaches 10%."
Cha Jiu looked down at his head being manipulated and asked, "Are you afraid of thunder?"
"I'm not afraid." Xuan Canglan replied sullenly, "I had a nightmare."
Cha Jiu lifted up her scarf, looked him in the eye, and joked, "If you are afraid of nightmares, you can imagine my presence in your dreams, and maybe you won't be afraid anymore."
Xuan Canglan pursed his lips and thought silently in his heart: "Dreaming of you is a nightmare."
"Change it." Cha Jiu threw him a clean piece of clothing and ignored him, sitting back at the table and writing.
Xuan Canglan changed his wet clothes behind the screen, and when he came out, he saw Cha Jiu writing all over the table of rice paper.
The above is a detailed explanation of the practice of Qingxu Jue.
Xuan Canglan was a little bit unbelievable: "Master, is this... written for me?"
Cha Jiu glanced at him casually and asked: "Do I have other disciples practicing Qingxu Jue?"
Xuan Canglan walked closer and found that Cha Jiu had explained in detail the cultivation methods of the first to fifth levels of the Qingxu Jue, covering every detail.
If Xuan Canglan had obtained this detailed explanation in his previous life, perhaps he would not have gone astray and endured bone-gnawing pain every moonless night.
Xuan Canglan didn't understand why his master in this life took such good care of him.
But in her previous life, he was also her disciple, but she never looked at him straight in the eye.
Yes.
She had said that she was only willing to personally teach the disciples she chose.
In her previous life, she chose Xuan Baiyu.
But in this life, he got there first and caught her eye.
It's just one step away, two completely different worlds, worlds apart.
Xuan Canglan felt both fortunate and unwilling for his past life.
As Cha Jiu wrote, he said, "If you are afraid of having nightmares and dare not go back alone, then sleep here."
Xuan Canglan was choked by the hot tea and coughed for a long time before he recovered. He looked shocked and said, "Sleeping...here"
Cha Jiu glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Xuan Canglan's throat was itchy, and his voice was a little hoarse: "No."
Cha Jiu chuckled, put down his pen, and reached out to pinch his chin.
She approached him slowly.
