Chapter 128: Decision
"Sir, this is a threat?"
Since being reborn, Lan Xi has never felt fear or even despair as he did at this moment. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She never thought that in this world, there were still people who could peek into her secrets. What if you don't admit such a secret? As long as someone believes, even the slightest suspicion, it is enough for her to die without a place to be buried. The people of this world are afraid of all the powers that surpass them, called ghosts, called demons, and never get rid of them quickly.
She didn't want to finally reverse the fate of her mother, Ah Jiu, and their family, and in the blink of an eye, she was put on the fire, pointed out, and scolded by thousands of people, and in the end, she was burned alive.
In an instant, that fear and despair reached its peak, and even though Lan Xi used all the strength of his body, he still couldn't stop trembling.
Lu Zhan locked his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that just a few specious words would scare the little girl like this. I'm afraid that this matter has always been a knot in her heart, but she hides it too well on weekdays and thinks it doesn't exist. Lu Zhan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "The old man really wants to take you as an apprentice, and you are indeed for the reason that you sneered at, which is the word fate." If you want to accept an apprentice, how can you do it without letting you see your skills? Speaking of which, Lu Zhan was already smiling bitterly.
Hearing this, Lan Xi really calmed down a lot, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhan timidly, as if to assess whether his words were credible.
Sensing the exploration and suspicion in the little girl's eyes, the wry smile on the corner of Lu Zhan's mouth couldn't help but deepen, and he almost didn't shout "wronged" twice for himself. "Fifth girl, you really don't have to doubt the old man, if the old man has any intentions, why bother to take you as an apprentice?"
Lan Xi slandered, is it suspicious that you insist on taking me as an apprentice? If you want to say that you have nothing else to do, who will believe it?
Lu Zhan said that he had never had the experience of getting along with girls, especially little girls, really...... No opportunity to show oneβs talents. "Alright! The old man admitted that the old man's ability was just to find a suitable heir. β
"You already have an apprentice."
"Shiro's kid, in the future, he will lead the troops, and it's okay to fight, but I can't count on anything else." Lu Zhan waved his hand with disgust.
Lan Xi had completely calmed down at this moment, "You are because my life is peculiar, so you want to pass on the last three things of my medical divination star?" β
Lu Zhan smiled with a wrinkled face, "The old man naturally has this plan, but you seem to be ......"
"I'm not interested." Lan Xi mercilessly refused, "So, why should I worship you as a teacher? Is there anything else you can teach me besides the ones I'm not interested in? β
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course there are, many practical ones, even if you are deep in the house in the future. Lu Zhan said busily.
"Whether it's useful or not, you have to learn it to know." Lan Xi frowned, undisguised disgust. "There's one more thing I'd like to confirm."
"What's the matter?" Seeing that this was a score, Lu Zhan hurriedly stepped forward, smiled amiably, and his smile couldn't help but bring two points of flattery, only to grow a tail and shake it to the sky.
"You took me as an apprentice, can it have something to do with the Lan family? Can it be related to partisanship? Can be with that seat...... Relate? Lan Xi squinted at him, his expression condensed.
Lu Zhan silently wiped a handful of sweat, this little girl, she is bold, she dares to say anything? However, this intelligence, this keenness, he likes it, and it is worthy of his favorite apprentice, although it is indeed a little unfounded. "Girl, you're thinking too much. Whether the Lan family stands or not, whether the party fights or not, it will not be decided because of you as a little girl. If you're still not at ease, at most...... Hide your mentor-apprentice relationship with me to the outside world. β
concealed the master-apprentice relationship, and naturally concealed the brother-sister relationship with Geng Si. Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, although she hid it from the outside world, they knew each other very well, in the future, when they took the throne, she and the Lan family could be touched, if they had something to do, but it would be fine, and the Lan family would be safe. For her, it is really beneficial and harmless.
Wanting to speak and then looking at Lu Zhan, Lan Xi couldn't help frowning, "Sir, you sincerely want to take me as an apprentice, but I am busy distancing myself from you, can Mr. still insist on doing so?" Do you feel unworthy and aggrieved? β
Lu Zhan's response was to laugh twice, "Girl! The old man accepted you as an apprentice, and he had no intention of doing so, so what is the difference between making the name of your master and apprentice public? Don't others know that I'm your master, so I'm not? If I treat you as an apprentice and you as a master, that's enough. What's more, think about it, how dangerous the battle for the heir is, the outcome is unpredictable, if you win, it's okay, if you lose, it's a disaster of annihilation, why bother to pull you in. It is really human nature for you to bear the name of the Lan family and think about the Lan family, and there is nothing wrong with it. β
Lan Xi stared at the wise man among the old men in front of him with gray hair and a calm and cheerful demeanor, and the admiration in his heart spontaneously arose, "Sir...... No! Master is so open-minded! β
Lu Zhan was lamenting that he wanted to accept an apprentice, and he had to ask for it, and suddenly heard such a sentence, at first he was just surprised with two points of disbelief, but when he reacted, the old man with white hair raised his arms and cheered like a child and ran out of the flower dock, "Lan Jingzhi, your daughter, my good disciple agreed, why don't you hurry up and prepare the offering table, the three animal fruit ceremony, let her kowtow to the teacher!" β
Lan Xi couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that having such a master is also very good! Even the quarrel between Lu Zhan and the third master outside the door became beautiful.
"Apprenticeship is not a trivial matter, why do you have to choose a good day and an auspicious day?"
"What is an auspicious day? My Lao Lu doesn't eat this set the most, I know it myself, can I still know? Besides, this big New Year, no matter how festive, where is the bad thing? It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's good at this time. β
"It's so late this day, even the Three Animals Fruit Ceremony has to be prepared, so let's do it, tomorrow will be good."
"Okay then, then I'll just wait a little longer."
Halfway through the long night, Geng Xiwu practiced a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, and when he closed the momentum, he spit softly, and he felt that he was sweating all over, so it was better to go to the well to get a bucket of cold water to flush it, Lu Zhan was in a very beautiful mood humming a little song, and came back with some floating steps.
The faint smell of wine hit the tip of his nose, Geng Xiwu frowned slightly, walked over quickly, and hugged him.
Lu Zhan stumbled under his feet, and almost completely fell on the shoulders of the seemingly thin young man, and said drunkly, "I'm fine!" Sober, but out of joy, I drank two more glasses! Don't you know, stinky boy, I'm so happy today! Stinky boy, you're going to have a junior sister, are you happy? β
Sister? Geng Xiwu's forehead twitched, and he was completely messed up in the wind. (To be continued.) )
