Venerable Mo Shang glared at Xu Errong and shouted loudly to cover up his embarrassment: "Alright, brat, how many years have you remembered this?! Didn't I just not tell you when I left? I will definitely tell you next time, okay!"
As he roared, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, alas... he was a little inconsiderate this time. Never mind, never mind, this brat was just worrying too much, he should just compromise first!
It’s just that…making promises to your own apprentice when you’re being bullied by him is really embarrassing!
How many years should one thing be recorded? It seemed something had really happened. An Ran picked up her teacup and drank, leisurely watching her senior brother and master settle the accounts. She didn't know about the previous events, so she didn't intend to participate, letting Xu Errong and Mo Shang Zun settle the accounts!
Listening to the perfunctory words of Master Mo Shang, Xu Errong frowned slightly. How could his master not know his worries?
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Venerable Mo Shang start yelling impatiently again: "Alright, alright, that's it, both of you follow me into the study, I have something to talk to you two about!"
After saying this, as if afraid of being nagged again, Venerable Mo Shang hurriedly walked towards the study, muttering as he walked: "This brat, why does he act like I owe him millions and won't pay him back? He's so fierce and not cute at all!"
Xu Errong had no choice but to follow him into the study as he and An Ran looked at each other.
In the study, Venerable Mo Shang was already sitting upright. Seeing An Ran and Xu Errong come in, he resumed his usual arrogant and crazy demeanor, puffing his beard and glaring at Xu Errong and An Ran, saying, "Why are you walking so slowly?! Even with my old bones, I can walk faster than you two!"
An Ran couldn't help but twitch her lips. "You were just running away because of what my senior brother said, okay? Of course, it's much faster than our normal pace..."
She looked at the arrogant crazy old man speechlessly. Ever since she became his disciple, he had taught her almost nothing. The occasional tips on alchemy and some wood magic were taught by Xu Errong and Teacher Mo Yu!
Didn't Master Mo Shang say back then that he would train her to become the continent's top alchemist? And now?! Ever since becoming his disciple, even seeing Master Mo Shang once was a luxury for her...
She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Master, what's the matter? Tell me quickly. We still have to go make the elixir after this!"
Venerable Mo Shang glared at An Ran and said, "Stinky girl, how dare you talk to Master like that! Master must have something important to announce if he asked you to come here. It will be of great benefit to you! Listen carefully!"
Big announcement? And benefits?
An Ran quickly restrained her nonchalant attitude, smiled charmingly and beautifully, looked at Venerable Mo Shang respectfully, thought about the benefits Venerable Mo Shang mentioned with anticipation, and said in an extremely flattering manner:
"Master, you are incredibly handsome, wise, and powerful. What you say is the truth, guiding us in the right direction! We will listen attentively, and no matter what you say, we will resolutely carry it out!"
Different from An Ran's fawning and flattering attitude, Xu Errong rubbed his forehead with a slight headache. The big and good things that his master mentioned basically made him extremely depressed and entangled!
I still remember the first time my master told me that he had something great and good to do, but he ended up throwing me into the deepest part of the mountains north of the city, leaving me to look at the pristine forest environment and comprehend the wood element!
Although his understanding of the wood element had made great progress in the end, it was still terrifying to be alone in the deep mountains and forests, surrounded by all kinds of wild beasts, and unable to escape!
Fortunately, that old lunatic knew to let Mo Yu keep an eye on him at all times. Otherwise, with his current strength, he might have died in those deep mountains...
The second time, Master said he had something great to give him, but he ended up assigning him to a city plagued by disease. Coincidentally, the city lord sealed off the city the day he arrived. If he hadn't spent those months frantically analyzing the disease and comprehending the elixir formula, he might not have been able to return...
After returning, the old madman actually said: "You are just unlucky. The plague broke out when you just went there, and the city lord even closed the city!"
Xu Errong felt that he would never forget the disgust and contempt in his tone. It was as if he had brought the plague to the people. He was so angry! He just couldn't believe that his master didn't know there was a plague!
The third time...
Xu Errong doesn't want to recall those miserable years anymore!
This time, whenever Venerable Mo Shang mentioned something important or good, he suddenly shuddered inwardly. What kind of tricks was he going to pull this time?!
This was the third time that Master had suggested something great and good. Given the not-so-good memories of the previous two times, he felt... it would be best for him to stay away...
Hearing An Ran's flattering and excited words, Xu Errong quickly stopped her: "No, Master, Junior Sister Yunxi and I think it's good to plant herbs and refine pills every day when we have nothing to do. It would be great if we could live a fulfilling and happy life every day!"
Seeing An Ran's puzzled and surprised face, Xu Errong took the time to whisper to An Ran: "Listen to me, that's right!"
Then Xu Errong looked at Venerable Mo Shang with sincerity and said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for considering us. We are both deeply grateful and will never forget your great kindness!"
After saying that, he looked at Master Mo Shang with an annoyed look on his face, and said with some sadness: "It's a pity that the two of us are so stupid. Even if it is a good thing, in our hands, I'm afraid..."
Seeing Xu Errong's expression changing instantly, and his tone that perfectly expressed his inner regret and self-blame, An Ran and Venerable Mo Shang couldn't help but twitch their lips. Should he really fight like this...
Before Xu Errong could fully express his remorse and regret, Venerable Mo Shang blew his beard and said, "Don't say so much useless things. If you know that your aptitude is not good, then you will miss these good things!"
"But..." Xu Errong was not giving up and wanted to argue something.
Venerable Mo Shang glared at him and said unhappily, "But what?! No need to explain, you must go, there is no reason!"
He glanced at An Ran, who was standing there obediently, waiting for him to say something. He then glared at Xu Errong with an unhappy look on his face: "You little bastard! Look at your junior sister, how well-behaved, cute and obedient... (several hundred words omitted below), and then look at you, still refusing good things. Would I, the master, harm you? Would I?"
(To be continued.)
