Chapter 3 You Are Not My Only Disciple Back at the inn, the news that He Qing had brought back a new disciple had already spread through the sound transmission talisman. The remaining disciples of the immortal sect were watching upstairs and downstairs, trying to confirm whether the news was true or not. "Are you really accepting a disciple? Doesn't the Yaoguang Sect only accept one disciple?" "Yes, and... everyone knows that Immortal Master He Qing has evil intentions towards his disciple. What is the current situation?" "Could it be... that the target has been changed?" He Qing pretended not to hear all the buzzing discussions and led Lu Li straight back to his room. However, just as they reached Gu Changnian's room, the door was opened from the inside and Hua Chiyu supported the sick Gu Changnian, as if they were about to go out. The eyes of several people suddenly met in the air, and all the rustling sounds around them quieted down, as if everyone in the inn was paying attention to the next show. You know, the leader of the Yaoguang Sect usually looks like a decent, kind and amiable person, but he will get crazy when he sees his disciple and Hua Chiyu walking together. She looked like a shrew, not only didn't she look like an immortal cultivator, but she looked like a shrew. It was really interesting. Among the four, Hua Chiyu was the first to react. He panicked and let go of Gu Changnian's hand, lowering his head anxiously: "Master."
Gu Changnian took a step forward, intentionally standing in front of Hua Chiyu, and saluted, "Master." He Qing saw him forcing himself to stand there, with his head lowered and his eyes submissive, his attitude extremely respectful, and no sign of dissatisfaction at all. He couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up in his heart. Otherwise, why do you say he is the male lead? Last night, he was molested and humiliated by his own master in front of his beloved, and then stabbed to death with a knife. The next day, he could act like nothing happened and humble himself in front of the person who insulted him. Just like what is written in the novel, he is able to endure things that ordinary people cannot endure, and he survived until three years later when he had learned enough, and then he killed the original owner with one blow. He Qing admired this kind of endurance of humiliation. However, when Gu Changnian's target changed to her, this admiration became a little complicated. The more he tried to keep his composure, the more He Qing felt like he was on edge, and even his left shoulder began to ache again... "Yeah." He Qing responded indifferently, and was about to leave with the boy she brought back. She was not interested in staying here and being treated like a monkey. But Gu Changnian stopped her and said, "Disciple, I heard that the master has accepted a new disciple?" As he spoke, he looked at the young man who was a head shorter than He Qing. The young man with delicate features had disheveled hair and was covered in blood. Although he looked so dirty, he had a calm and composed temperament and stood there without any embarrassment. He Qing also looked at Lu Li beside him and said, "Oh, yes, this is my new disciple, your junior brother, his name is Lu Li." Gu Changnian couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Master, according to the rules of our sect, you can only accept one disciple. Master, your actions this time... I don't understand the deep meaning behind them." He Qing said nonchalantly, "There is no deep meaning, I just felt that he had a connection with me, so I accepted it. As for this sect rule, it will be changed from today onwards." Gu Changnian's face was solemn after hearing this - The master did such a despicable thing yesterday, and today he brought back a handsome young man. How could he not doubt the intention? Did she want to take revenge on him, or did she change her target out of lust? No matter which possibility it was, it made Gu Changnian feel sick, but in front of so many disciples from Tianxuan Mountain, he couldn't ask more questions. He could only ask in a roundabout way: "Lu Li is almost out of danger, why don't you let your disciple take him to wash up first, and check his injuries for him." He Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, not wanting to accept this suggestion: Who knows what this girl will secretly instill in her little apprentice? However, with so many people watching, if she refused, the label of "pervert" above her head would probably become even clearer. He Qing looked down at Lu Li, but Lu Li kept staring at Gu Changnian with interest. He Qing tightened his hand and made him look away.
The two looked at each other for a short time, then Lu Li moved closer to He Qing and said in a soft voice with uneasiness and a little pleading: "Master, I just want to be with you. I'll be scared when you're not around." Realizing that Lu Li understood what she meant, He Qing was immediately ecstatic: Good boy, here's the thing! He Qing didn't want Lu Li to be alone with Gu Changnian, for fear that he would be abused, but as someone with a bad reputation, it was difficult for her to say no. But it was different for Lu Li. He himself was unwilling and it had nothing to do with her as his master. He Qing held down the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said reluctantly: "If that's the case, then forget it. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother." Lu Li responded obediently, tilted his head towards the rather surprised Gu Changnian, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your kindness." "..." He Qing did not lose his temper or even his mind. The disciples from Tianxuan Mountain who were watching were disappointed and confused, and they dispersed while talking in low voices. Hua Chiyu heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and said timidly: "If the Immortal Master changes his mind and returns to the right path, it may be a good thing for you." right way? Gu Changnian looked at the two people leaving the corridor hand in hand and shook his head disapprovingly. He thought of himself— When he first joined the sect, he also regarded He Qing as the most trusted and reliable person. But now... The past came to his mind, and Gu Changnian's disgust increased. No one knows his master better than him. He Qing's paranoia has long been insane, and she is definitely not someone who can easily change her mind. But even though Gu Changnian knew He Qing so well, he had no idea what He Qing was going to do next. ■ Lu Li washed off the blood and came out from behind the screen wearing a white inner garment. His wet black hair stuck to his clothes like seaweed, leaving winding wet marks. While wiping the ends of his hair, he quietly stared at the woman meditating on the couch by the window, his dark eyes as calm as a deep pool. The woman's thin lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth drooped naturally. It was obvious at first glance that she was a serious person who didn't like to smile. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains and her lips are like sand. She has such bright facial features, but her temperament is very cold. Lu Li had heard of this woman. He knew that she was the leader of the Yaoguang Sect and had been in love with her disciple for many years. She was despised by the immortal sect. But what I saw today was quite different from what was rumored. Her estrangement from her apprentice was too deliberate. Thinking of this, Lu Li's hand movements paused: Could it be that he was using him as a means to stimulate his beloved disciple? Now that he has been cursed and has lost his original appearance and all his skills, having this woman by his side will help him hide his tracks. A slightly sarcastic smile appeared on Lu Li's lips—— Master, huh? Oh, then, disciple, just accompany the master and have some fun. (End of this chapter)
