Gu Laogou, who failed to build the stone pillar perfectly, caused his face to be damaged, and got out of anger.

He put all the blame on the old man, and punished the old man for the rest of his life by doing some cleaning in the second floor of the Pavilion, never setting foot in the rest of the Pavilion, let alone leaving the Pavilion.

Since then, it has become a cage that I can never break free. When Li Lao said this, the gloom in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Ye Chenfeng sighed lightly, trying to change the topic to divert Li Lao's attention, so as to distract Li Lao's heavy depression in his heart: "I don't know who Zhiqiu mentioned in Li Lao's previous words is?"

Hearing the word Zhiqiu, Li Lao's eyes lit up significantly, but they dimmed again in an instant.

He sighed heavily, with a look of memory in his eyes: "Old Zhou and the old man have always been at odds, and the two have been fighting with each other for many years.

The pavilion master saw all this, but he didn't say anything. Because of this, the two of us fought more vigorously, and they regarded each other as lifelong enemies.

Old man Zhou, who is half an elder brother, wanted to be a peacemaker back then, but he was powerless.

Fortunately, although the two of us were constantly fighting, we did not make any excessive moves. After seven years in this way, which was not in harmony, the appearance of a man upset the balance.

This person is Zhiqiu. Zhiqiu is the Shangguan Zhiqiu who taught you the lesson of meditation. As the pearl of the dean's palm, the beauty of Zhiqiu's appearance is rare in the world.

Although she didn't know how to refine weapons, when it came to cultivation talent, among the cultivators of the old man's generation, no one could compete with her.

Gu Laogou and the old man were both young people with strong blood back then, and they both fell in love with Zhiqiu at first sight, and they both thought that only they could be worthy of a woman like Zhiqiu.

At this point, the two of us have finally turned the battle into a silent war!"

Ye Chenfeng swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect Mr. Shangguan to have such a past, and he didn't expect that Li Lao and that person would actually break out a war for Mr. Shangguan.

Li Lao paused and took a sip of tea, smoothed his somewhat dry throat, and then continued: "The two of us launched a crazy and passionate courtship offensive against Zhiqiu, but Zhiqiu didn't take the two of us seriously at first.

After all, no matter how you say it, the two of us are only well-known in the Instrument Pavilion. Don't say that in the entire Tianyun City, even in Tianyun Academy, the two of us can only be regarded as qualified.

But both of them recognized Zhiqiu as the love of their lives, regardless of whether she looked at the two of us in her eyes or not, and regardless of whether the people in Tianyun City who admired Zhiqiu could line up from the east of the city to the west of the city, after identifying the direction, they would go regardless of the wind and rain.

The eighteen-year pursuit of love has left both of us physically and mentally exhausted, but in the end, the winner is still me, a poor sour boy without a trace of the budding shadow of my ancestors. At this time, Li Lao's pride and cheerfulness even Ye Chenfeng could empathize.

Eighteen years of struggle have been in vain, which has directly distorted Gu Laogou's psychology. He is unwilling, he wants to do everything possible to break up me and Zhiqiu.

But the love between me and Zhiqiu is not something he can easily stop. So, Zhiqiu and I spent three sweet years under the jealous gaze of Zhou Laogou.

Later, what Gu Laogou, who became a superintendent, also knew for you. Zhiqiu pleaded for me, but unfortunately the dean refused the pavilion master last time, and this time he said that he could no longer agree to Zhiqiu's request.

Zhiqiu stayed in the Pavilion in a fit of rage, vowing not to see the dean again.

She originally wanted to go to the second layer of space to live with me, but Gu Laogou abused her power and arranged for Zhiqiu to teach meditation lessons in the third layer of space, so that she was not allowed to step into the second layer of space for half a step.

Without the dean's protection, Zhiqiu had to face me across the floor. Li Lao didn't know when he was already in tears, and his face was full of sadness.

After Ye Chenfeng knew that the lovers could not finally become married, his compassion was great, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red unconsciously, and he was secretly sad.

However, while he was sad, he hated Gu Chang'an's shameless behavior even more.

Seeing that his beloved was bullied by Gu Laogou, but he couldn't do anything about it, the old man punched himself hard at that time, annoyed that he was useless.

But what can I do besides blaming myself? I am sad to find that I can't do anything to make up for Zhiqiu except self-blame. Li Lao smiled miserably, beating his somewhat thin body, silent tears slipped down his old face, scattered all over the place with sorrow and vicissitudes.

Ye Chenfeng, whose eyes were red, wanted to walk over to comfort Li Lao, but found that any comfort at this moment was pale, and only by himself could he get out of the predicament in his heart.

Speaking of this, Li Lao actually squatted on the ground like a child and sobbed, and even later, he cried loudly. It was the first time Ye Chenfeng saw the white-haired old man crying, and he was crying so heartbreakingly.

He was at a loss for what to say or what to do. He just subconsciously squatted beside the old man, patted his rugged shoulder gently, and silently accompanied the old man without saying a word.

After a long time, Li Lao's crying gradually subsided, his eyes were red, he wiped away the tears, and looked at Ye Chenfeng with a little more gratitude.

This young man, who is not related to him, can accompany him silently like an old friend. With such a pure heart, it is really hard to find in this somewhat cruel world.

"The tragic past of the seniors is also deeply sad when the juniors hear it, but what does all this have to do with accepting the juniors as apprentices?" Ye Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say the confusion in his heart.

"The old man used to sneer at the stuff of the pot, but since then the emaciated old man has indulged in it, and spends his days in the cellar under the broken house borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, but he is even more sorrowful.

After spending nine years in such a decadence, it was not until the appearance of Deacon Guo that things took a turn for the better. As he spoke, Li Lao looked at Ye Chenfeng, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Ye Chenfeng was confused, "Who is Deacon Guo, and what kind of turn does this person's appearance bring?"

"Since the development of Tianyun City, there are five major forces, namely the two major trade unions of medicine refining and refining, Tianyun Academy, the Skyhawk Gang, and the Shadow Killer Organization. Deacon Guo is the third deacon of the Refiner Guild.

The president of the Refiner Guild, the six-rank senior refiner Tang Bing, has a vice president and five deacons. Gu Yan, the cabinet owner, and his only son, Gu Laogou, each occupy one, and President Tang's sister Tang Yunxi and apprentice Guo Huai Guo also occupy two places.

The vacant five deacons are fictitious, and they are held by the champions of the refiner competitions held every ten years. The vice president is voted on by the five deacons.

President Tang wanted Deacon Tang Yunxi to be the vice president, but the Gu father and son also coveted the position of vice president. With equal votes, the five deacons became a contested position for both sides.

A few months ago, President Tang sent Deacon Guo to find the old man, hoping that the old man would teach the Yin-Yang Fish Pattern to President Tang's granddaughter, Tang Xiaoxian, and help him win the championship.

In return, President Tang promised that after Deacon Tang became vice president, the old man would be given a seat in the deacon's office.

In this way, the old man will be able to break free from the shackles imposed on me by Gu Laogou in one fell swoop.

After all, he was also a deacon of the Refiner Guild, and his power and status were equal, and if he dared to have bad intentions, he would attract the earth-shattering wrath of President Tang. At that time, it should be Gu Laogou who burns his eyebrows. When Li Lao thought of Gu Laogou's embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but grin.

"That being the case, Elder Li should agree to Deacon Guo's request. And if Elder Li really agreed to them, why bother to seal the Yin Yang Fish Pattern in the Xuangang Rock and wait for the arrival of the apprentice?" Ye Chenfeng's mind became more and more confused, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

"After all, the old man is a member of Tianyun Academy, and everything on the old man's body is also given by Tianyun, and he doesn't want to pass on the Yin Yang Fish Pattern to outsiders.

Therefore, even if the old man wanted to escape and meet Zhiqiu again, he had no choice but to refuse Deacon Guo's request.

Fortunately, Deacon Guo was also generous, and he was not dissatisfied, but said that the old man could also find his own apprentices, and if the old man's apprentices became the fifth deacons, he could also help them. At that time, the promised reward will not be less. Li Lao smiled bitterly, he still couldn't meet Zhiqiu after all.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Li Lao's somewhat lonely figure, and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Even if Li Lao was deeply persecuted by Tianyun Academy, in the end, did he still have to think about Tianyun?

In desperation, the old man had to accept the apprentices himself, but the old man was arrogant and did not want to accept the mediocre as apprentices, so he sealed the yin and yang fish pattern in the Xuangang Rock, waiting for the arrival of the real Puyu.

The contest was to be held in three months, but Puyu, who the old man had been waiting for, did not come.

Just when the old man was in despair, you kid finally came. Therefore, the old man pins all his hopes on you, and you must be the old man's apprentice no matter what. Speaking of this, Li Lao grabbed Ye Chenfeng's shoulder and stared at Ye Chenfeng who was breaking out in a cold sweat, as if he was a gambler who gambled on his entire net worth.

Ye Chenfeng was obviously a little frightened, and his smile was very unnatural: "Old Li, you let go first, the junior didn't say that you shouldn't be your apprentice." ”

Li Lao shook his head and sprinkled like a child: "If you don't agree, the old man won't let go!"

Ye Chenfeng could only spread his hands helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Elder Li, the junior has agreed to worship you as a teacher, now you can let go of the junior." ”

When Li Lao heard this, the smile on the old man's face bloomed like a flower. He hurriedly let go of Ye Chenfeng, rubbed his hands full of wrinkles and calluses, and smiled: "Time is pressing, let's just abandon those red tapes, you can just change your name to call the old man the master." ”

Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to do as he was told, and respectfully called Master.

Li Lao hurriedly nodded and drank, looking up and down with great satisfaction at the precious apprentice who had worked so hard to wait.

"What are Master's plans next?" Elder Li's arrival disrupted Ye Chenfeng's plan, and he had no direction for the time being, so he had to ask.

"You don't have to go to Old Man Zhou to learn the firearm pattern anymore, the old man will naturally teach you. In the next three months, in addition to daily affairs, you can spend the rest of your time practicing the method of refining weapons with the old man.

Three months is too short, and how much you can learn is up to you. Li Lao pondered for a moment and gave advice.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, and then returned to his cave after saying goodbye to Li Lao.

Regarding the matter of apprenticeship, the Flame Blood-Patterned Tiger had no opinion, and just let Ye Chenfeng act on the camera. Ye Chenfeng planned the future plan in his heart again, and finally climbed into bed to meditate.
