"Master, wake up..."
Ji Motian heard the deafening sound of gongs and drums again. Looking at the gong that Su Xue was rubbing in her hand, he felt that his life was really going to be disrupted by this little demon he had picked up.
"Finally awake. Waking you up is such a tiring task. Move over a bit, let me rest." Su Xue wiped her sweat, pulled Ji Motian's arm over, and lay down on Ji Motian's big bed, stretching comfortably.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Ji Motian helped his apprentice cover himself with the blanket, then got out of bed.
For days, ever since he returned from Langgu, his apprentice had been in "morning rooster crowing" mode, always coming to bang drums and gongs when everyone else was sound asleep. Although he was old enough to be a god and didn't need to sleep, life as a god was so boring that he had to find something to do. He had finally found such a good job, only to have it end in this way by his apprentice. He was so unwilling to accept it.
"Xiaoxue, I want to talk to you about something. Could you wake me up every two days? I'll let Tong Mo play with you, okay?"
Seeing someone shamelessly occupying his bed, Ji Motian tentatively asked.
Su Xue shook her head.
"Please let me go, okay? I'll never bother with you again. You can do whatever you want. Is that alright?"
Su Xue shook her head again.
"Tell me, what is it about me that you've taken a liking to me after all this trouble?"
Seeing that her goal was about to be achieved, Su Xue could no longer contain her excitement and blurted out, "Why don't you turn Ru Yun and my brother into immortals too!"
"Impossible," Ji Motian's eyelids twitched.
"Why is it impossible? Why? Isn't it because you became a god?" Su Xue didn't understand why her master wouldn't agree when he clearly had that ability.
"What are you thinking? Do you think your master can make someone an immortal so easily? Then who in this world would be willing to cultivate seriously? You are an exception and don't count."
His disciple was unaware that she herself possessed the bloodline of the immortals and was destined to become an immortal in due time; he was merely going with the flow. However, she mistakenly believed she had the power to seize creation and the ability to guide others to immortality, achieving instant ascension. How could this be reversed?
"Ahem, Xiaoxue, you miss your brother and that Ruhua, don't you? How about this, I'll take you back to see them, okay? Don't make things so difficult for your teacher, okay? Just think of it as your teacher being afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, Su Xue realized that it was impossible for her master to turn her brother and Ru Yun into immortals, but she could go home. She was overjoyed and got up, grabbed her shoes, hugged her master, and shouted that they should hurry up and go.
Ji Motian affectionately ruffled Su Xue's messy long hair, then cast a spell and flew towards the Six Harmonies Platform.
Not far from the Six Harmonies Platform, Su Xue suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream. She looked up at her master, who had obviously heard it as well. But how could there be such a heart-wrenching scream in public from the heavens? Aren't immortals supposed to be very concerned about their image? Could my understanding be wrong? It seems I should listen carefully to my master's boasts in the future, just in case something is true.
Ji Motian found it even stranger. The Six Harmonies Platform was usually one of the most peaceful places, but today, for some unknown reason, someone was crying and shouting incessantly, and the guardian celestial messengers weren't intervening. Could it be...?
Ji Motian continued flying forward with Su Xue. The closer they got to Liuhetai, the louder the cries became. Even Su Xue, who was usually carefree, was disturbed by the cries and felt sad. Thinking of her brother who had gone on a long journey, she felt like crying.
