I slept without any dreams.
Waking up in the early morning, Nian Wanzhou stretched and yawned, feeling refreshed, and then ran and jumped around in the small courtyard.
Very energetic early in the morning.
Someone has come in.
"Master." Upon seeing that the person who had come was her master, Nian Wanzhou immediately stopped and respectfully followed the example of her senior sisters in bowing. Nian Wanzhou felt both a little afraid and a little close to this nominal master.
He looked to be only in his forties, but he was actually over a thousand years old. He gave off a mature, steady, kind, and amiable feeling, and had a very good personality and temperament.
She is the complete opposite of her adoptive father, who has the aloof and ethereal appearance of a celestial being; her personality is indeed honest and adorable.
I guess she came to see me because of Lexi's matter. Let's wait and see.
"How have you been lately?" With his daughter not around, the Grand Elder was bored and came out to find his little disciple. He was unwilling to admit that he was a doting father!
I actually needed to speak with my junior disciple, hmph!
"It's fine, Master. I went with Nan Yu to plant medicinal herbs. This way, I can strengthen my body and cultivate my character." Nian Wanzhou answered truthfully, without mentioning that she had been bullied.
Those things are things you can easily find out by asking around, so telling my master wouldn't be of much use.
It's more effective to talk to your senior sister; you can also use that to your advantage and be a little coquettish.
Wait a minute, if we're talking about seniority, then isn't her master equivalent to her maternal grandfather?
Goodness gracious! Grandpa is such a dignified yet adorable old man, quite different from Master, who is rather 'kind'.
Imagine Nian Wanzhou almost couldn't keep her composure.
"You went to grow medicinal herbs??" The Grand Elder frowned and asked. What? His own disciple went to farm? You, a celestial being, went to farm?
No, what kind of joke is this, involving sects?!
"Why did you go farming? Little one..." The First Elder was very puzzled. His fourth son, a perfectly good body cultivator, had gone to farm? "Why did you go farming when you were perfectly fine, child?"
No, it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, but this... is very puzzling and a bit outrageous.
I don't think there's a rule against physical cultivation forbidding farming, right? Although it's not proper body refinement, it's still a form of cultivation, even if it's a bit of a waste of one's immortal spirit body.
If other people found out, they'd probably scold him...
Nian Wanzhou pouted, wanting to argue, but then she remembered that this person was now her maternal grandfather, and she had to respect the elderly and care for the young, so she couldn't lose her temper with him!
"Because it's safer to follow Nan Yu. I won't be bullied, and I can avoid the other senior brothers and sisters. Master, you know I'm just a nobody in the sect, and anyone can kick me while I'm down..." But he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark. After saying that, he lowered his head in annoyance, not daring to look at the Grand Elder again.
The Grand Elder was ashamed.
He took someone as his apprentice, but he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a master and even allowed his second disciple to bully his younger disciple.
"It is indeed our elders' fault for not doing a good job, and you have suffered injustice, child." The elder squatted down and patted Nian Wanzhou's fluffy head and... tiny dragon horns.
Why hasn't it changed back yet?
It's kind of cute, cough cough.
“Your second senior brother has been confined by me. You might think this punishment is neither too lenient nor too severe, but... Lexi is the kind of person who can't sit still, especially since Wenru has gone out to gain experience.”
The elder, looking as if he had seen through everything, picked up Nian Wanzhou and said, "He only has eyes for Wen Ru. He often causes a lot of trouble in order to get close to Wen Ru. Moreover, he is fickle and restless, and it is difficult for him to sit still."
"This solitary confinement is the most agonizing thing for him. I also asked him to focus on his cultivation while in solitary confinement. This may seem easy, but it is actually very difficult to accomplish. If the mind is not calm, cultivation will stop. He is so worried about Wen Ru that he cannot calm down. This is the greatest punishment for him."
Nian Wanzhou felt much better after hearing this, "Serves him right!"
He bullied me, now look what happened! He's tormented that bastard to death, humph!
"Alright, don't be angry with him anymore. Your teacher will take you to eat something good." The elder patted her little head with a smile and took her to eat breakfast. Children need to eat something early in the morning to grow.
Nian Wanzhou happily agreed: "Okay, thank you, Master!"
She wants to eat lots and lots of delicious food to celebrate this great news.
So it seems that this cheap master isn't so bad after all; at least he's quite fair.
The First Elder thought: "Children are so easy to fool. He even let me hold him. It reminded me of how easily Wen Ru was fooled when she was little. It's just that she's grown up now and not so easy to fool anymore. Sigh."
If they won't give to the big ones, they'll just try to fool the small ones.
This is probably an inevitable stage for becoming an apprentice of the Grand Elder.
...
Nian Wanzhou was tricked by the Grand Elder into going to eat breakfast. After eating, the Grand Elder was still puzzled by her insistence on going to farm.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the energy to teach her now, he can only offer some pointers.
The child is still too young. Giving her too much guidance now wouldn't be good for her; it would prevent her from grasping the essence of the subject. We can only take it one step at a time and build a solid foundation first.
"You're probably the first body cultivator to farm~ It's really strange, why are you so interested in farming?" The elder prepared a lot of spiritual fruits and snacks for the child, stuffed them all into the storage ring, and handed them to the child.
"I think it's quite fun and gives me a great sense of accomplishment. It's similar to physical training and farming. In fact, farming allows me to expend more energy and improve my endurance." Nian Wanzhou munched on a steamed bun and put away her storage ring.
Then she added, "Master, don't worry, I'll go back and practice together after all the disciples have gathered. It won't interfere with my cultivation!"
The Grand Elder said, “What’s the problem with delaying things? If you feel there’s a change, then you’re cultivating. Physical cultivation is all about physical strength and endurance, so you can withstand beatings. Farming is also a way to improve your cultivation.”
"However, you will still have to train with me then. You need to learn the knowledge well in order to further improve your cultivation. I will also keep an eye on your cultivation. Alright, go and do your work."
As expected of the most approachable master chosen by Nian Wanzhou, she didn't say anything about her neglecting her duties.
"Alright, Master, you should go back and rest. I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me~" Nian Wanzhou hugged the Grand Elder to comfort him.
Forget it, my arms are too short to hold it!
The elder nodded solemnly, then turned away to hide his excitement. The little baby was just too adorable! He almost lost his composure and broke down.
Ah, just like Wenru when she was little, she's a lovable and well-behaved child.
The elder returned to his cave to heal his injuries, satisfied. His little disciple was very good, truly excellent.
Nian Wanzhou also left, to continue her farming career!
