Cai Niu climbed onto the boy and peered into his chest to listen.
The final conclusion was reached.
"It seems like there's no heartbeat."
Rong Zi clicked his tongue. "What a pity. Should we bury it?"
Yun Jing, who had just walked up, was stunned by what he heard.
Didn't you just excitedly say you were going to have a new apprentice?
So, they turn around and bury their new apprentice?!
Just as Rong Zi grabbed the boy's leg, preparing to drag him away and then dig a hole to bury him on the spot, Yun Jing noticed Cai Niu lying on the boy's chest and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"You're listening to someone's right chest. How could there be a heartbeat on the right side?!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm a little confused about left and right." Cai Niu climbed onto the boy's left chest and listened. "It seems to be beating."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi released the boy's leg.
"Oh, I see. Then forget it. It'll save us the trouble of digging a hole."
Yun Jing: "..."
The person is still alive, but this is what Master is focusing on?
Yun Jing took a deep breath and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"Take him away." Rong Zi clapped his hands. "It's reasonable for him to repay the life-saving debt by becoming my disciple, right?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and patted Yun Jing on the shoulder with a smile.
"Aren't you happy? You're about to have a junior brother!"
Yun Jing looked down at his future junior brother lying on the ground, his expression somewhat indescribable.
He's only six years old, yet he's going to have a fifteen or sixteen-year-old junior brother...
Is this reasonable?
besides……
Yun Jing pointed to the golden jade in Rong Zi's hand and asked in confusion, "This jade seems to be the same as mine, so why is it suddenly shining?"
He remembered that when his master gave him the black jade, the jade was also glowing.
Rong Zi tossed his head casually, "Do you think anyone can just join our Rongling Sect? Your master has certain requirements for accepting disciples. This jade is used to test whether a person is qualified to be your master's disciple."
"So, the reason you took me as your disciple in the first place wasn't because you chose me or genuinely wanted to take me as your disciple, but simply because this stone chose me?" Yun Jing's words revealed the key point.
In other words, if the stone ultimately chooses someone else, the master will not accept him as a disciple.
Rong Zi noticed the resentment in Yun Jing's eyes and was momentarily speechless.
Hmm... that's a pretty good summary...
However, although she didn't choose the apprentice at the beginning, once they became Rong Zi's apprentices, they were under her protection!
...
Gu Xiaochui was awakened by a fragrant aroma.
Before he even opened his eyes, he swayed and sat up from the ground, sniffing the air, and crawled towards the direction of the scent.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaochui's nose touched something.
The aroma was so enticing that his mouth watered uncontrollably.
Gu Xiaochui swallowed hard and opened his mouth to bite.
However, when he opened his mouth to bite, he found that the thing had run away.
Gu Xiaochui frowned before slowly opening his eyes.
What comes into view is a little girl with delicate and lovely features, and a sweet dimple at the corner of her mouth.
The little girl held a piece of meat made of some unknown material with her chopsticks, and waved to him with a smile, "Hello, how are you?"
Gu Xiaochui was stunned for a moment, noticing that a little boy who looked only six or seven years old was sitting next to the little girl.
The boy looked at his expression and seemed to feel a bit...sympathetic?
Gu Xiaochui glanced at the piece of meat in Rong Zi's hand again and unconsciously licked her lips.
Who are you?
Rong Zi put the meat back into a bowl next to him and replied, "Your savior."
Gu Xiaochui is very hungry now, and he wishes he could eat a whole cow in one go.
His eyes remained fixed on the piece of meat, and he nodded absentmindedly, "Oh, th, thank you."
Rong Zi: "...That's it?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Seeing that he had lost his composure, Gu Xiaochui quickly wiped his mouth, stood up with his weak body, and then formally clasped his hands in a fist salute to Rong Zi and Yun Jing.
"Thank you both for saving my life. The village chief once said that a gentleman repays kindness. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace now, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely find a way to repay your kindness. I will go through fire and water for my benefactors without hesitation."
Rong Zi smiled and said, "You don't need to wait until later, you can repay your kindness now."
"Hmm?" Gu Xiaochui scratched his head sheepishly. "But... I don't have anything valuable on me to give you."
"We don't want anything."
"What does the benefactor want?"
Rong Zi looked Gu Xiaochui up and down, then pointed at him.
"you!"
Gu Xiaochui's pupils dilated in an instant.
He stumbled back several steps, then crossed his arms and hugged himself. "This...this...this won't do! I'm not the kind of person who would sell my body for a favor!"
Rong Zi: "..."
"Don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear." Rong Zi covered Yun Jing's ears and rolled her eyes at Gu Xiaochui. "Big brother, we're still kids, can't you be a little more naive?"
Gu Xiaochui blinked blankly, "That's not what you meant?"
Rong Zi: ...Where did this idiot come from?
"Of course not, where did you get the idea that I meant that?"
"One day, Cuihua from the east end of our village rescued Xiaohuang from being attacked by wolves. Later, Cuihua forcibly kept Xiaohuang in the village, and Xiaohuang even had five babies with Cuihua in one go."
