“Not disappointed.”
He let Gu Xingyun lead the way, carefully taking care of his apprentice's self-esteem.
"You've made such rapid progress in such a short period of time, which is impressive. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself. Many of them have been training outside for years and have extensive combat experience..."
Yan Huailiu racked his brains, trying to say something useful while saving his apprentice's face.
But I was really tongue-tied, and after a long pause I could only say: "You are also very good, very good."
Today was a rare day of good weather, and Gu Xingyun pulled him forward slowly, letting all kinds of emotions surge in his heart.
The Lingxu Mirror connected to his soul vibrated from time to time, clearly indicating that it was in operation.
Gu Xingyun's gaze fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands, and he hardened his heart and activated the Lingxu Mirror again.
It wasn't enough, he wanted more.
As he hadn't received a response from his disciple, Yan Huailiu was worried that he was still bothered by the competition, so he couldn't help but gently squeezed Gu Xingyun's hand and comforted him softly.
"Don't overthink it. If you feel your progress is slow, I can find some suitable tasks for you to practice on. If you encounter any problems during your training, you can ask me directly."
Gu Xingyun lowered his head and responded softly, "I understand, Master."
When they reached the fork in the road, Yan Huailiu pulled his hand back: "Go to my room and wait first, I'll be back soon."
Unsure whether the influence of the Lingxu Mirror would weaken after the distance was increased, Gu Xingyun said anxiously: "Master, wherever you go, your disciple will accompany you."
"No need. I'll go get something and be back soon." After saying that, Yan Huailiu flew away.
Gu Xingyun stood there hesitating for a long time, then gritted his teeth and walked towards Yan Huailiu's residence.
His master was easy to coax. If he woke up after coming back, the worst that could happen was... he would just find more excuses.
It was still the familiar room. As soon as he stepped in, he saw Little Lightning standing on the table, breathing heavily at him.
After not seeing this little thing for a few days, it seems to have regained its spirits.
Gu Xingyun deliberately frightened it: "Master is not coming back today, I live here alone, no matter what I do, no one will find out. Oh, my hands are itching, I always want to hit something."
Little Lightning immediately shut up, ran out at the fastest speed, and soon disappeared.
Gu Xingyun snorted, found a place to sit down, and cleaned up the hair left by Little Lightning with disgust.
The weeds in the yard seem to have grown quite a bit taller. I'll come over to help Master clean them up when I have time in a couple of days...
Junior Master's Wuya Peak has many beautiful flowers. I'll find a chance to move a few over. Master will probably enjoy seeing them...
Gu Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then looked away.
With his palm facing upwards, he summoned the Lingxu Mirror that had been hidden in the bracelet.
He has been studying the purpose of this mirror these days, and he has indeed figured out a lot.
As long as the holder of the Lingxu Mirror obtains something from the other person, he can bind his soul to that person.
It can only be bound to one person in a lifetime. If the holder wants to unbind, the Lingxu Mirror will backfire, causing injury or death.
Every time they get close, as long as they activate the Lingxu Mirror, they can deepen the soul bond between the two.
The bound person will unconsciously become dependent on the owner of the Lingxu Mirror.
It was too easy for him to get what was on Yan Huailiu.
He secretly collected a lot of hair alone, jade pendants, clothes, and various small accessories that carried the aura of his master. He had no shortage of them.
Even his master's saliva and blood could be easily obtained by him.
Fearing that one thing might not be enough, he turned all of them into media.
He even carried with him the jade pendant that Yan Huailiu had tried to give away but had been intercepted by him.
He didn't care about the consequences, he just wanted to use all means to tie Yan Huailiu to his side.
Gu Xingyun reached out and touched his waist. The cold and hard feel of his hand made him feel much more relaxed.
The first time he activated the Lingxu Mirror was on the day when those sects came to pick up their people. That time... his master, who was determined to keep a distance from him, took the initiative to hug his waist and rub against him.
The second time is today.
Outside, the Master did not refuse his offer of hand-holding and even suggested that he come here and wait.
Gu Xingyun gripped the Lingxu Mirror tightly, the carved patterns on his palm hurting him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the unique scent of Yan Huailiu in the room, his voice low and hoarse.
“Master…”
His despicable, dirty and shameful little thoughts and his almost crazy and unscrupulous desires were briefly released.
There was some noise coming from the yard. Gu Xingyun packed up his things as quickly as possible and adjusted his expression.
The words he had prepared long ago were already on the tip of his tongue, just waiting for Yan Huailiu to take the initiative to speak.
But Yan Huailiu just rushed into the house as quickly as possible and cast several cooling spells on himself: "It's so hot, so hot."
Gu Xingyun held back what he was about to say.
Master seems… okay? Didn't he see him?
"Master." Gu Xingyun called out.
"Come here." Yan Huailiu spoke quickly and beckoned him forward.
Under Gu Xingyun's puzzled gaze, more than a dozen long swords fell on the table.
Yan Huailiu raised his chin slightly like a wealthy local tycoon and said, "Pick one."
Gu Xingyun's gaze lingered on the pile of swords for only a few seconds before he turned to Yan Huailiu: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Didn't I break your sword? I'm giving it to you as compensation. If you like them all, you can take them all."
As Yan Huailiu spoke, he reached out to pick among the pile of swords and pushed a few long swords that were obviously rich in spiritual energy in front of Gu Xingyun.
"I think these are pretty good. You can try them out side by side. After all, you're going to be using them for a long time, so it's better to pick the one that's most comfortable to use."
Confused by this unconventional behavior, Gu Xingyun took a breath, calmed himself down, and casually picked up the sword closest to him: "Master, I don't know what is convenient."
He couldn't tell, he had been using that wooden sword for so many years even though it wasn't comfortable for him.
Yan Huailiu thought for a moment, then picked up a sword and called out to him, "Come out, I'll teach you some moves, and you can try them."
The expression on Gu Xingyun's face could no longer be described as surprise. He almost walked out of the door in panic.
Yan Huailiu stood in the courtyard and casually danced two sword flowers. Worried that his apprentice was scared, he reminded him considerately: "Don't worry, I know my limits and I can't hurt you."
