After Qin Gengyun finished speaking, he really turned around and prepared to leave.

Xia Qinglian was stunned, and shouted in a hurry:

"Stop!"

Qin Gengyun turned around, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Senior, what else can I teach you?"

Xia Qinglian raised her finger and pointed at him: "How can you be so ungrateful?!"

Perhaps it was because of the change in her appearance and figure that she was no longer afraid of being recognized, and she felt more unrestrained and less deliberately cold and depressed than she was when facing Qin Gengyun.

Unconsciously, Xia Qinglian's tone had already taken on a hint of coquettishness.

Qin Gengyun said seriously: "It is precisely because I know what is good and what is bad, and I know how to be grateful, that I want to take you as my teacher. In this way, you don't have to worry that I will forget your kindness after I learn from you, and that you will have worked so hard to teach me in vain."

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly: "I am willing to teach you, why do I need you to repay me?"

Qin Gengyun immediately said: "Senior, you have a broad mind and are free and easy, but I cannot be ungrateful. If I don't understand this, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to learn the peerless skills of the senior."

Xia Qinglian was stunned. You are not so eloquent at home!

She has always been more hands-on than talkative, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute Qin Gengyun.

"Senior, if you still need to consider it, how about I come back another day?"

Qin Gengyun bowed again and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

Xia Qinglian called him, glared at him fiercely with her bright eyes, and said through gritted teeth:

"If you want to become my disciple, just do it. Stop talking nonsense!"

Qin Gengyun was delighted and immediately bowed deeply:

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

Veins popped out on Xia Qinglian's fair forehead and she hummed in anger.

Xia Qinglian, oh Xia Qinglian, how could you be so foolish that you actually taught him how to fight yourself.

Now, I have really become his master!

How can I face this guy when I get home?

"I haven't asked for Master's name yet?"

Qin Gengyun performed the ceremony of paying homage to his teacher and asked respectfully.

Xia Qinglian said unhappily: "Idiot!"

"Idiot?" Qin Gengyun was startled: "Is this the master's name?"

Xia Qinglian rolled her eyes, which was rare. The majestic mountains and rivers were undulating slightly. She paused, waited for her breath to become smooth, and finally said:

"My name is Nian Tang."

Qin Gengyun bowed and said, "Disciple will remember the master's name. Master, shall we start now?"

Xia Qinglian glanced at him angrily and said coldly:

"What's the hurry? None of the techniques I've learned are suitable for you. You need to practice a technique first before I can teach you how to fight."

Qin Gengyun was stunned: "So, I need to buy a fighting secret book?"

Seeing the painful look on his face, Xia Qinglian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth under her veil.

Who made you angry? I'm so heartbroken!

She said with a straight face, "What kind of fighting secrets can you buy? Tell me."

In fact, Qin Gengyun had told her about the fighting secrets he saw in Danfu Tower a few days ago, but now Xia Qinglian naturally had to pretend so as not to arouse Qin Gengyun's suspicion.

"Master, I saw several secret books in Danfu Building the other day, including the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, Thunder Immortal Technique, Fire Cloud Immortal Technique, Water Dragon Technique, Ice Moon Technique, Hehuan Sword Technique, and Golden Cloud Fist..."

Qin Gengyun talked about a lot of secret techniques, all of which he had glanced over a few pages of in Danfu Building that day and left a deep impression on.

Especially the Thunder Immortal Technique, Fire Cloud Immortal Technique, and Water Dragon Technique, which sound very fairy-like. If used, they would certainly be extremely elegant and could defeat the enemy with just a wave of the hand.

"Master, this Thunder Magic..."

Qin Gengyun was about to explain in detail the techniques he favored, but he heard his red-robed master suddenly speak:

"Golden Cloud Fist."

"ah?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned and said quickly: "Golden Cloud Fist? Master, that is the lowest level of the first stage, which only teaches people how to fight with fists."

After all, he is a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training. Not to mention flying with a sword and searching for enemies thousands of miles away, he should at least learn a magical technique that can control lightning and fire, right?

Is it something a practitioner should do to fight someone with fists?

Xia Qinglian glanced at him and said calmly: "You are awakening too late. You are only at the fifth level of Qi training at this age. You are already past the best age to practice immortal arts. Why don't you..."

"Well, Master is right. I will follow Master's teachings."

Qin Gengyun was a little embarrassed. He was indeed in his thirties when he started to practice Qi to the second level. Although the words "he only got it right at an old age" hurt, it was not an exaggeration.

Seeing Qin Gengyun's frustrated look, Xia Qinglian's mouth curled up unconsciously, and then she said seriously:

"If you question me again next time, I will expel you from the sect!"

"yes!"

Qin Gengyun quickly agreed, then reacted and asked curiously:

"Master, this is only the second time we've met. How do you know I'm at the fifth level of Qi training?"

Xia Qinglian then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly said:

"I was beside you when you took action yesterday, so I can naturally see your level of cultivation."

Qin Gengyun thought about it and it made sense. Last night when he killed Zhou Kun and Yang Fengshan, his spiritual power reached its peak. He guessed that his master had been hiding nearby and watching at that time.

He did not ask further questions and said respectfully, "Master, I will go buy the Golden Cloud Fist tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xia Qinglian put her hands behind her back and said calmly:

"Starting tomorrow, come find me here every other day at 3:30 pm."

Qin Gengyun asked, "Master, is it too late at 3:30 pm? I am worried that I will not have enough time to practice."

It was already past 3:10 in the morning at 3:30 in the morning, which was indeed too late.

Xia Qinglian snorted coldly.

She had calculated this time long ago. Qin Gengyun started practicing from the Chen hour every day for six hours until the You hour, and then practiced alchemy for another four hours, which is from the Xu hour to the Chou hour.

Then he has to stay for more than half an hour to practice dual cultivation with me. After he finishes the dual cultivation, he will take another quarter of an hour to come over. Isn’t that the third quarter of the yin time?

Everything has been calculated for you, yet you still ask more.

snort!

Xia Qinglian said coldly: "What did I say just now?"

"It is my fault, Master, please calm down!"

Qin Gengyun said quickly: "I will come here again at 3:30 pm tomorrow!"

Xia Qinglian hummed and waved her hand: "Go ahead."

"yes."

Qin Gengyun bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

Looking at his receding back, Xia Qinglian remembered this guy's respectfulness and fear just now, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

All at once, it was like the thawing of icebergs and the melting of spring snow, and the magnificent scenery of the snow-capped mountains lost its color.

But the next moment, that beautiful oval face was covered with frost again.

After a moment of silence, a red shadow flashed and disappeared into the snow.

…

After one stick of incense.

Qin Gengyun returned home.

Entering the bedroom, Qiu Zhihe sat by the bed and asked calmly:

"how?"

Qin Gengyun walked over to her and sat down: "I have already taken that senior as my teacher."

Qiu Zhihe was a little annoyed when she heard the word "become a disciple". She hummed and turned her head away, ignoring him.

At this time, Qin Gengyun came closer and rubbed his hands and said:

"Zhihe, it's late at night, we... should practice."

Qiu Zhihe’s body stiffened.

I am his master now, do I really have to...

What should I do?
