MTL - You Are Just Making Up the Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 10: The apprentice was annulled (please collect it for further reading)

On the first day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan got up early and went out. He didn't see the figure who was practicing hard, and there was no one to cook for him. He had to do it by himself, feeding the chickens and growing vegetables.

 I always feel uncomfortable.

 The day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan became worried again.

 “I’m a stupid disciple, won’t he die in the Evil Forest?”

“He has been here twice and everything was fine. He should be fine this time too, right?”

 …

On the fifth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan came to the hillside outside the village and looked at the direction Xu Yan left, but saw no one coming.

 He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Even if I was exposed and wanted to catch me as a liar, I wouldn’t have arrived so quickly.”

 “Will I be found out?”

"Alas, Xu Yan is a stupid boy with a bad brain. He comes from a good family, so there will always be people with good brains, right?"

“If this is discovered, wouldn’t I be disappointed?”

Li Xuan was in a mess and a little worried.

 …

On the tenth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan was watching from the hillside. Once he realized something was wrong, he hid and ran away.

"This disciple didn't die in the evil forest and didn't return home, right?"

 “Or, grounded?”

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Li Xuan cursed secretly: "Fuck! It's not like I had to lie to him. It's because his brain is not working well. He can't blame me."

 “I’m doing so bad, it’s so embarrassing!”

Li Xuan sighed. He, a time traveler, was so embarrassed!

 …

On the eleventh day, Xu Yan finally came back.

 “Master, the disciple is back!”

Looking at Xu Yan who was paying his respects, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Well, just come back!”

He looked calm as usual, as if he already knew about Xu Yan's return.

“Master, this is just a little thought from my disciples.”

 Xu Yan placed two long boxes on the table.

 “I’m determined!”

Li Xuan looked calm and raised his hand to open a box.

Inside is a sword. The scabbard is entirely golden, engraved with patterns of auspicious clouds and auspicious animals, and inlaid with nine red, white, and blue orbs in total.

 Baby!

It was priceless at first glance, and Li Xuan was very excited. This silly apprentice's background was richer than he expected.

His face remained calm and seemed unmoved.

 Hand out his hand to pick up the sword in the box, it was a bit heavy.

The scabbard is inlaid with nine orbs on both sides, for a total of eighteen orbs. Just these eighteen orbs are worth a lot of money.

 The hilt of the sword is inlaid with two larger red orbs.

Li Xuan slightly pulled the sword out of its sheath, and a golden light appeared in front of his eyes. This was a sword made entirely of gold!

 Sheath the sword and put it back into the box.

Li Xuan's seemingly calm face was actually trembling with excitement in his heart.

“If you get rich, this sword can be passed down as a family heirloom, and you won’t have to worry about escaping to the Kingdom of Wu in the future.”

There was a hint of approval on his face, and he said: "I am very happy that you have this intention. Although this sword is ordinary, it is not bad to play with it once or twice."

Xu Yan was immediately excited when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Master, as long as you like it!"     "Master is indeed a hidden master. Such a priceless sword was not touched at all. He just thought it could be played with. "

 The respect for Master in my heart rose again.

Li Xuan opened the second box. Inside was a flawless jade Ruyi. His eyes lit up slightly. This jade Ruyi was a treasure at first glance!

"good!"

  Nodded, Li Xuan expressed satisfaction.

“Master, I also brought some precious medicinal materials.”

Xu Yan took off the package and said.

Li Xuan raised his brows and thought to himself: "He also found that his body got better after taking these rare tonics? Do you think it is beneficial to your cultivation?"

"This tonic, as usual, you weigh it carefully before taking it."

Li Xuan took a look and found that there was neither nine-leaf Yuanzhi nor thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Among them, there were two five-leaf Yuanzhi and three hundred-year-old wild ginseng. They were also rare medicinal materials.

 “Yes, Master!”

 Xu Yan put away the medicinal materials, started to clean up the house, and prepared to cook.

Li Xuan was satisfied. This apprentice was sensible and knew how to finish the work as soon as he came back.

　　"Huh? What's going on? He looks frustrated. What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Li Xuan found that although Xu Yan was working, his expression was quite depressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Could it be that someone reminded him when he returned home this time, which made him a little suspicious?

Or, maybe you haven’t sensed Qi and blood for a long time, haven’t entered the skin refining process, suffered a little setback when you got home, and feel depressed?

"We can't let him get depressed. He's already done this. If he doesn't continue to cheat, he will easily fall into trouble."

 “His confidence must be boosted!”

Li Xuan thought so, and then said: "Disciple, why are you depressed? Is it about cultivation?"

Xu Yan stopped wiping the table and said with some frustration: "Master, it's not about cultivation, it's about my disciple... When my disciple came home this time, the engagement was annulled!"

Um?



Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and muttered in his heart: "Breaking off the engagement? Your name is Xu Yan, not Xiao Yan. That's fine. There's no way to counterattack. It's such a sad story!"

 “What’s going on? Why did you break off the engagement?”

He asked with a master's expression of concern for his disciple.

Xu Yan looked depressed and lowered his head and said: "She said that my brain is not working well, and it would be too embarrassing to be with me."

  She is right, your brain is indeed not very good!

Li Xuan murmured in his heart.

 Standed up and patted Xu Yan on the shoulder. No matter what, he still wanted to comfort his apprentice.

“You are my disciple, she broke off the engagement because she was blind.”

“Master is right, I think so too.”

“Then did you yell, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, don’t bully young people into poverty?”

Li Xuan asked with a dry cough.

Xu Yan glanced at his master in confusion and said, "Master, I am not poor!"

grass!

Li Xuan’s brows jumped and he felt like his heart was being pricked!

He immediately said with a serious face: "Disciple, why are you not poor? My teacher said that you are poor because of money? No! It is because of your cultivation, your strength, and your knowledge of martial arts!"

Xu Yan suddenly looked ashamed and said: "Master taught me that I am poor, I am very poor!"

Then he said: "But don't worry, Master, I haven't lost my ambition. Although I didn't shout a word about "Don't bully the poor young man," I also told her that if you ridicule me, humiliate me, and abandon me today, you will definitely regret it someday. It’s too high to reach, too high to reach!”

 At the end of the sentence, Xu Yan raised his head slightly and his eyes were firm!

Li Xuan's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart: "Why does this kid feel like a child of luck? It must be an illusion!"

“Well, disciple, you have such ambition, which is very good.”

Li Xuan saw that Xu Yan still had some dejection in his eyes, so he added: "Breaking off the engagement may not be a bad thing for you. You must know that only after setbacks can you be brave."

“The geniuses of ancient times all rose from setbacks.”

“The journey of cultivation requires enlightenment, a clear mind, and self-evident insights!”

He patted Xu Yan on the shoulder and Li Xuan said sternly: "Disciple, there is a saying, 'If you don't have a woman in your heart, cultivation is like having a god.' You have been divorced. If you don't have a woman in your heart and have no thoughts, you must make great progress!"

Asking for votes, asking for everything
