Chapter 187: Apprenticeship
Ziyun Mountain, Pengxuan Pavilion.
The room is hexagonal, and the sunlight shines through the spacious, bright windows with a golden glow reflected on the marble floor. Outside the window, there was the sound of a waterfall and stream in the distance, and the clouds and mist seemed to be covered in mid-air. The six walls of the house are monotonous and plain white, without any decoration.
Chen Kefan sat upright in the center of the room, his eyes slightly closed, and he calmly operated and cultivated the power in his body. Pengxuan Pavilion is built by the mountains and rivers, nourishing the spirit of heaven and earth, gathering the qi of mountains and rivers, and is an excellent place to cultivate and enhance internal strength.
"Young master, someone outside the pavilion is looking for you. A disciple in a blue and white robe stood cautiously at the door, as if he was afraid that his loud voice would disturb his cultivation.
"Who?" he asked indifferently.
"A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, holding this white feather, named Xia Yuqian. The disciple said as he held the white feather high with both hands.
Chen Kefan raised his hand, and with a fingertip back, the white feather in the disciple's hand was introduced into his hand like a thread. He looked at the white feather, and suddenly the scene of that day on the Burning Gang Mountain suddenly appeared in front of his eyesβshe pointed her sword at him angrily, her blood-like pupils were full of resentment and murderous aura, and the black shadow that appeared on her body was as evil as a ghost.
"Let her in. Chen Kefan said to the disciple.
Xia Yuqian was dressed in a plain white suit, with her hair in a high bun, which looked much more refreshing than before, although there were still faint bruises on her face, but it looked fine.
"Young Lord. Xia Yuqian saluted him a little awkwardly, not knowing if it was appropriate for her to call him so.
"You shouldn't have come to me for revenge, right?" Chen Kefan asked her playfully with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Do I have a chance of winning?" Xia Yuqian also asked with a smile after hearing this.
"I remember when I gave you this feather, I said that one day when you were desperate, you would come to me with it on Ziyun Mountain," he said, and he raised his eyes and asked with interest, "Why, so soon to be cornered?"
"Yes," Xia Yuqian pretended to sigh in frustration and said, "I quarreled with the people in the Red Fang and was kicked out, and the main family behind the Red Fang is the Han Mansion, so it will be difficult for me to go to the Han Mansion to work in the future." β
"Why are you arguing?" he asked. Xia Yuqian didn't answer, her eyes dimmed, as if she was looking down and remembering something.
"I'm sorry about Han Shaokun," he sighed, and suddenly said, "There is also the matter of what I did to you on Burning Gang Mountain that day." β
"I know you're actually doing it for my good, after all, if that god came forward in person, he might kill me directly. Xia Yuqian said with a wry smile.
"It's good that you can understand, because I really have no choice," he said, and he asked again: "Say, what's the matter with going to Ziyun Mountain to find me this time?"
"I want to worship you as a teacher. As soon as these words came out, Chen Kefan was stunned by her, because he had never accepted apprentices himself, and he had never planned to accept apprentices.
After speaking, Xia Yuqian knelt down, looked at him respectfully, and said very seriously: "I hope you can agree to accept me as an apprentice, I will study hard and practice hard, and I will never disappoint your expectations!"
Chen Kefan looked at her, but did not speak, Xia Yuqian patiently waited for his response.
After a long time, he said again: "I remember that you once said that you are just a commoner, and you want to live a peaceful life and earn money to support your family," after a pause, he asked a little puzzled: "What made you change your mind? Isn't it good to go home and live a stable life? Or are you tired of the ordinary and want to do something to get ahead." β
"For me, it is indeed a precious thing to be able to live an ordinary life, but it is indispensable to guard against others, what happened this time made me understand that I can't hide forever, only when I become stronger can I have enough strength to protect my family!" she said, she suddenly lowered her eyes again, "But with my own cultivation, the results are sometimes really unsatisfactory, I don't know if you still remember the strange exercises I used on the Burning Gang Mountain that day." β
"I remember," Chen Kefan said, his face solemn, "I was about to ask you what was going on. β
"That's because I didn't practice properly a few days ago, so I went crazy again when I made a move...... "She said with some frustration, "I don't know why, the internal force in my body is naturally a little different from ordinary people, so in the process of cultivation, if I am not careful, I will become like that." β
"Because your heart is unstable, you are not single-minded when practicing, but you are in a hurry to achieve success, and you are competitive," Chen Kefan said seriously: "You want to save Han Shaokun too much, there are too many distractions in your heart, you know, sometimes the more you want to desperately get something, the more likely it is to backfire." β
Xia Yuqian listened to what he said very humbly, nodded thoughtfully, and said sincerely: "I will listen to what you say, and I will work hard to correct it, but I really respect you and want to worship you as a teacher, if you don't take me in, then I will be completely cornered......"
"Please also help me this time, for the sake of the past when we have experienced life and death together. Xia Yuqian looked up at him, her clear eyes were sincere and bright, and people couldn't bear to refuse.
"You seem to have forgotten that in addition to my identity as the young master of Ziyun Mountain, I am also the head of the Red Sect of the Silver Hair Sect, and the god is my grandfather, even so, do you resolutely want to make up your mind to worship me as a teacher?" he finally asked her, and there was a chilling air in his cold voice.
"I believe that if you were my master, it wouldn't hurt me," her smile was soft and tranquil, and her eyes shone with a crystal clear shimmer, "I remember when I was still in Hongshan Village, one night I was very irritable, very nervous, unsteady and erratic. But that night, you took on a human form, held my hand, and handed it to me with your own hands, which made me feel like I had never felt before when I practiced the exercises. β
"So I'm sure if it's you, you'll be able to help me get back on the right track. β
Xu was moved by her sincerity, and Chen Kefan pondered for a long time before nodding slightly and agreeing: "I can accept you as an apprentice, but there is one condition." β
"You say!" Xia Yuqian seemed to see hope, and her eyes shone with a slight sparkle of light.
"I don't want you to become a person who will do anything to gain strength one day, nor do I want you to get ahead and become famous in the world, I just want you to not forget your original heart, and at the same time cultivate your mind and hone your mind." β
"Yes, I must keep it in mind!" Xia Yuqian said with a bright smile on her face, she looked at Chen Kefan, and carefully whispered: "Master......"
"Hmm. His eyes closed slightly, and he nodded softly.
"Thank you, Master, the disciple must remember what Master said, and he will not disappoint you!" she saluted happily.
