Chapter 379: A Man's True Colors

Shangguan Wan'er and Li Xian looked like thunderbolts, they didn't expect that the other party was a real old master!

I thought he was just an old man who liked to pretend to brag, but how did I know that he was an old master with a lot of background!

As for the people who had suspected the old master before, they were already trembling with fear.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Wu Zetian gave an order, and the shopkeeper climbed out of the counter and came to Wu Zetian's feet.

"What does Your Majesty command?" Kneeling on the ground respectfully, he didn't even dare to raise his head and asked.

"Clear the field, for a few days when Uncle Shi stayed with you, you are only allowed here, gold coins, I will come out." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, the eunuch beside him had already taken out a few gold coins very cleverly and put them in the hands of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took it, thanked Britannia busily, and then crawled back to the counter on his knees.

"Little girl, you have a conscience." The old master snorted lightly, found a stool and sat down, "People are old, and it's uncomfortable to stand for too long." With that, he stretched out his arms.

took a bamboo stick and put it in his mouth, raised his eyes to Wu Zetian, "You also sit down." This has already been taken over by you, and it is your territory. After the old master finished speaking, he pointed to the position opposite him.

"Okay, uncle." Wu Zetian nodded respectfully, and then walked to the old master's table and sat down.

"No...... No, Mother Emperor, he really ......" Li Xian was already frightened, where did he think that the old man who was admired by the world would behave like a scoundrel in words and deeds, where was he mistaken?

"Xian'er, this is the senior brother of my master, the old master, and the old master who is also one of the three sages of the famous mainland." Wu Zetian officially introduced his son and the old master.

Hearing Wu Zetian's introduction, Li Xian reacted, hurriedly walked up, and gave the old master a ritual of paying homage to the teacher.

But I didn't expect the old master to buy it, "Don't, you're not my apprentice, it's not appropriate for you to worship me like this." The old master interrupted Li Xian's movements, making it clear that he was unwilling to accept Li Xian as a disciple.

Li Xian didn't expect the old master to dare to refuse himself in a grand manner, if it weren't for the fact that the people here had been cleared now, he would probably have lost the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xian didn't dare to look directly into the disappointed eyes of his mother emperor at all, lowered his head, and didn't dare to raise his eyes, but he had already stood up straight.

"Hey! Old man, I want to worship you as a teacher, what's the matter? Brother Xian's identity is not enough to become your old master's apprentice? "The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the crown prince, why is he not worthy of being his old master's apprentice?

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Zetian just wanted to scold her for being too big or small. But I didn't expect the old master to laugh instead of being angry.

looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a smile, "If he wants to apprentice, I have to accept him as an apprentice?" The old master's question made Shangguan Wan'er speechless all of a sudden.

Think about the reputation of the three sages under this grass, it is an existence that is even more famous than the empress.

Especially the old master, that's a clergyman!

What is a clergyman? There is hope to be a being of God, and he has reached the age of being with God.

Such an existence, even if it is the empress Wu Zetian, in front of him, may be just a small person.

"I ......" Shangguan Wan'er was speechless.

"Little girl, the old man accepts disciples, purely based on personal preference. What the old man likes, even if he is a pawn of a peddler, the old man is willing to be his master. But what the old man doesn't like, even if he is the king of a country, he can't get into the eyes of the old man. After the old master finished speaking, his eyes stared directly at Shangguan Wan'er. Now do you still think that Li Xian is the prince or the prince, so the old man must accept him as an apprentice? ”

Shangguan Wan'er was speechless, and she didn't know how to answer the old master's words at all.

"I have always remembered my uncle's habits. I'm sorry for making Uncle Shi laugh, Wan'er, this kid, was spoiled by me. Wu Zetian hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round game, "That's it, Xian'er, since the master is unwilling to accept you as a disciple, it may be that you have no relationship with the Jixia Academy." It doesn't matter. "Wu Zetian originally wanted to cultivate an heir, but now it seems that it is obvious that Li Xian is not suitable to be this heir.

When the old master heard Wu Zetian's words, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Imperial Grandma Imperial Grandma~" A milky voice came, and everyone paused slightly, and then a little boy in a bright color robe ran in from the outside, and suddenly threw himself into Wu Zetian's arms.

Wu Zetian took the other party with a smile and hugged him.

"I didn't expect you to be old too." The old master looked at Wu Zetian, who had a loving face, and found that the high-spirited girl had already faded from her youthful appearance and became mature and dignified on the second floor.

"It's human, and it's always going to get old." Wu Zetian sighed lightly, picked up the child who called himself the imperial grandmother, and held it in his arms. "Ji'er, call the old ancestor." Wu Zetian said softly to the child in his arms.

The boy raised his eyes to look at the old master, "Old Ancestor." Then he obediently shouted to the old ancestor.

The old master raised his eyes to look at the little doll in Wu Zetian's arms, "Show it to the old man." Looking at the child's imperial face, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked for a word.

"Ji'er, show your hand to the ancestor." Wu Zetian saw that the old master took the initiative to get close to the child, and a bright color flashed in his eyes. Hurriedly asked the child to hand over to the old master.

The old master raised the palm of the little doll and looked at it carefully, and then touched his beard with a look of knowing it.

"It's a pity......" The old master shook his head.

This shaking of the head made Wu Zetian have a bad omen in his heart.

"Uncle Shi......" Wu Zetian wanted to speak and stopped.

"This kid is heavy color, if he can be far away in the future, he is still a good seedling." The old master said with a serious face.

"Ancestor, what is a heavy color?" The boy looked at the old master with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Heavy color means that you like beautiful young ladies in the future." Shangguan Wan'er has always been an outspoken existence, covered her mouth and smiled secretly, and said it to the little doll.

When the little doll heard this, she was a little confused, "Is there anything wrong with liking a beautiful young lady?" Mother said that men are true colors. The little doll's answer made everyone laugh.

Even the old master couldn't help laughing, "Okay! What a man's true colors. The old master laughed heartily, "Little doll, in the future, I will go to Jixia Academy with my ancestors, okay?" It may be that this baby still looks innocent, which touched the old master's heart that he didn't want to have more to do with the Li family's royal family, so he asked.
