Chapter Seventy-Six: The Past Goes Like Smoke and Water

"Who are you?" The eyes of the water-chasing are covered with frost.

It doesn't matter who you are! I'm chasing the water so I don't want to be your substitute!

Although her master has apprentices all over the world, there are only four people who have really inherited his skills. Brother Fang, she and the senior brother who started following Master at some point.

Zhushui knew that although the three of them had good qualifications, compared to the senior brothers who had followed the master for more than 400 years, it was simply the difference between clouds and mud.

The master is eccentric, he taught her medical skills, taught her martial arts, but never taught her to cultivate immortals. The Fang brothers only inherited their master's swordsmanship, and they never received any more guidance.

The senior brother is different, he has already entered the infant stage, becoming an immortal is just around the corner, and he is as ageless as the master.

In recent years, the master has entrusted him with all the big and small things in the sect, and the three of them are like idlers of the Tianqing sect, and those ordinary disciples are full of disdain and ridicule every time they look at them.

It made the three of them very uncomfortable.

They had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to destroy Master's trust in Senior Brother and sweep him away, but when would that time come? No one knows......

She still remembers that seven years ago, on that snowy afternoon, she hid in rags on the corner of the street, beating her head and bleeding from the big beggar on the neighboring street for a dirty steamed bun.

She was a girl, with little strength, and was beaten half to death by those fierce beggars, and suddenly a slender and clean hand reached out to her, and she looked up and saw the handsome face of the man in the backlight, and he smiled and said, Would you like to go with me?

At that moment, her world froze. She nodded blankly, stretched out her little hand that was bruised from the cold, and followed him up to Longhui Mountain in a daze.

He became her master.

The master treated her very well, taught her to read, and passed on her medical skills. Buy her beautiful clothes and make delicious food for her, and she still remembers that Master's potatoes are particularly delicious! It's better than hot steamed buns!

At that time, she was simply like a fool. I feel like the happiest person in the world!

However, this happiness only lasted two years.

At the age of twelve, she saw a portrait of a woman in her master's study, who was older than her, about seventeen or eighteen years old, leaning lazily against a magnolia tree, smiling lazily, and that smile was pure she had never seen before.

The person in the painting resembles her, but she can be sure that the person in the painting is not her. Who is she? She was a little confused.

As time passed, her appearance became more and more beautiful, and she also resembled the girl in the painting. And every time Master looked at her, her heart beat wildly.

After a brief throbbing, her heart became more and more empty and dazed. She knew that the Master was not looking at her at all, but through her, at the other woman.

The night before Master's retreat, he was drunk, and when she went in to clean up the scraps, she heard him call a name over and over again.

Shigeru ......

The woman's name was Shigeru. She remembers it well.

The drunken and confused master walked up to her and hugged her, she was so shocked that she didn't dare to move, just listening to his whispering, she suddenly felt a little warm in her back, pushed him away, only to find that it was his blood.

The Master vomited blood, and she was so frightened that she ran out of the study to find the senior brother, who told her nothing, only that the master might need to retreat.

Thinking of this, Chasing Water couldn't help but smile bitterly, it had been three years, and that was the last time I saw him, embarrassed, helpless, and lonely......

"Shigeru, who are you sacred? Why are you torturing him like this? Chases muttered to herself, completely unaware that an elegant man in a azure robe was slowly walking towards her not far away.

"Senior sister, why are you still here? Didn't they tell you? Master is out of the customs, and he is waiting for us in the main hall. The man looked at the senior sister who was unable to give up, and then at the parrot frame that was still shaking and the phoenix trembling on the magnolia tree, and smiled helplessly.

"Master, he'...... He's out? It was difficult to hide his joy on the water, and he lifted his skirt and ran to the Tianqing Palace.

He's out! She can see him again! That's great!

In the Tianqing Palace, Wu Nian, who was already the head of the faction, sat upright, lowered his eyes and took a sip of the new tea in early spring. Due to proper cultivation, his face stayed at the age of twenty-five forever. Because of his stunning demeanor, he not only became the dream lover of thousands of girls in the world, but also won the favor of the eldest princess of the dynasty.

This made him very distressed, so he kept trying to find a way to escape the world for a while, but finally on that hangover night three years ago, he vomited blood while he was in the midst of the catastrophe. He finally knew that cultivators in the Tribulation Period should not be emotional, and he had committed a great taboo, so that he was consumed by his own spiritual power.

For three whole years, he had been in retreat, and he could have broken through the Tribulation Period, induced the Heavenly Thunder, tended to Mahayana, and became an immortal. But every time he thought of Amao, he suppressed the thought.

He promised Shigeru to wait for him, and sure enough, he did.

He is no longer the little novice who was stupid and almost died in the belly of the python, he is already the head of a faction, an immortal cultivator close to the Mahayana period.

He finally fulfilled his promise and was finally able to accompany her and protect her for a long time.

Wu Nian was immersed in his own complicated thoughts, completely unaware that the four apprentices were already waiting for His Highness.

Yan Ziwen is a well-behaved person, he will do his best to do any errand that Wu Nian explains, and he also takes good care of several junior brothers and sisters.

For some reason, the Fang brothers have always been a little afraid of their master, but at this time, they have all changed their ordinary style and become decent.

Only the eyes of the water were staring at Wu Nian tightly, as if she had never seen him before, and her eyes followed him for a long, long time.

Did Master forget all the events of that night? Why didn't he speak? Why not ask her how she is doing? Has anyone bullied her......

In an instant, she couldn't help but feel bitter and unwilling in her heart. He never had her in his eyes, and all he cared about was the woman named Shigeru......

"In the past three years, I have been in retreat for my teacher, Ziwen, I really worked hard for you!" Wu Nian finally spoke after a long silence.

"Don't dare to take credit! After Master's retreat, the younger brothers and sisters have been assisting Ziwen in managing the affairs of the sect, and they have really contributed a lot. Yan Ziwen bowed and spoke eloquently.

Wu Nian smiled and turned to Brother Fang and Zhushui, "Is what your senior brother said true?" ”

"Yes, yes, the three of us have been helping Senior Brother all the time, and we don't dare to slack off." Fang Yimo accepted it when he saw it, if they let their master know about the fact that they had been squeezing Yan Ziwen for three years, they would definitely be locked up!
