Chapter 39: Apprenticeship
Forget the worries is scattered on the back mountain of the highest small courtyard, elegant and chic, the courtyard is full of all kinds of blooming flowers and plants. The door of Forget Worry Xuan was open, and a dark purple figure stood in front of the door.
The man had silky and flawless silver hair, a face like a crown of jade, a blazing eye, a hard contour of his facial features, handsome and extraordinary, as if he was in his early thirties, with a few discordant wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he was calm and relaxed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a touch of vicissitudes of the times between his eyebrows, which made people feel as if he had lived for hundreds of years.
"Little girl, you are the one who Xiaobai said that you want to learn martial arts from me?"
His voice was deep, but penetrating, just whispering, but it echoed throughout the Forgotten Worries.
"Yes," Ling Ling bowed, Mu Bai hadn't introduced him to her along the way, and he didn't know what to call him for a while, so he said, "Hello, my name is Ling Ling." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile tugged at his lips.
"It seems that Xiaobai hasn't introduced me to you yet, my name is Wei Fanhua." He said softly, turned his eyes to look at the mask on Mu Bai's face, and his eyes flashed, "Xiaobai, where did you get this mask from?" ”
Mu Bai smiled, and looked at Ling Ling on the side with his eyes under the mask, "Miss Xiaoling gave me a thank you gift." ”
"You made this mask?"
Wei Fanhua asked lightly with a smile in his eyes.
"I just drew a pattern and asked someone else to do it."
"Listening to Xiaobai, Miss Ling wants to become the number one master in Longyun Sect within three years?"
Ling Ling lowered his eyes and bowed his head, and said in a positive way,
"Yes, please ask the seniors to help."
When he heard this, he smiled softly, and his voice echoed in the Forgotten Worry Xuan,
"If you want me to learn martial arts, you want to worship me as a teacher, but whether Miss Ling can become my apprentice or not, you still need to answer a few questions, if the answer satisfies me, then I will accept you as an apprentice."
"Senior, please ask."
Ling Ling couldn't figure out what Wei Fanhua wanted, and now that she had reached this point, she could only do her best.
"Xiaobai, you take Xiaonan to the flower garden on the back mountainside to pick some flowers for the teacher."
Mu Bai understood, his obsidian-like eyes looked at Ling Ling, and smiled lightly, "Okay." ”
With a slight leap, he disappeared into the Forgotten Worries Pavilion.
"Miss Ling, I hope you answer me honestly, where did you know the patterns on the mask you gave Mu Bai?"
As soon as Mu Bai left, Wei Fanhua put away the smile on his face, although his tone was soft, but his face was straight, and his fierce gaze seemed to see through Ling Ling.
He asked her like this, could it be that he knew the pattern?
Ling Ling only felt that the worldly master in front of her was mysterious and unpredictable, and she didn't dare to ask more, after all, the current situation was that she had something to ask for others, Ling Ling gritted her teeth.
"I'll tell you the truth, there was a time when Mu Bai was injured and poisoned, and I happened to save him, while he was asleep, I happened to see the ring on his hand, and I thought ......" she wanted to hide, "The texture is very good, so I was curious to take it off and look at it, and when I watched, I found the pattern inside." ”
Listening to Ling Ling's words, Wei Fanhua raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were deeply inquiring, and he chuckled,
"Miss Ling, if you want to worship me as a teacher, if you hide any of them, you may fail."
He spoke lightly, and his eyes were deep and seemed to see through everything.
Ling Ling's heart jumped, his eyes stopped on Wei Fanhua's jade-like face, trying to find a trace of his thoughts from his expression, but he always smiled indifferently, and there was nothing else in his eyes except for the exploration of Ling Ling.
"I can tell you, but you have to promise me that we can't let a third person know about our conversation today, and if you tell a third person......"
"How about the thunder and thunder, how about not dying well?"
Although he smiled, his tone was serious.
The corners of Ling Ling's mouth raised slightly, "I believe that my seniors are trustworthy people, and I also believe that my seniors will not let me down," Since she has arrived here, as long as she has the opportunity, she must fight for it.
"To tell you the truth, I once had a mutton fat jade ring that was the same as on Mu Bai's hand."
Wei Fanhua's fingers in his wide sleeves moved slightly, "There are patterns in it, too?" ”
"Yes, that time I saw the ring on Mu Bai's hand, I mistakenly thought it was the one I used to have, so I took advantage of Mu Bai's sleep and quietly took it off, although the ring was very similar to the one I used to have, but it was not my one after all."
"How did you decide that the ring wasn't yours?" The smile on Wei Fanhua's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a little seriousness.
Ling Ling's hands in his sleeves were clenched, his lips pursed, and he took a deep breath, just say it!
"It might be a little hard to believe that ring of mine...... After staining my blood, there was a bright red and white light. ”
"Miss Ling, stretch out your hand."
He didn't ask any more questions, and his serious face returned to his first smile.
Ling Ling was a little puzzled by his sudden change, and just obediently stretched out his hand.
Wei Fanhua raised his hand to lightly grasp Ling Ling's wrist, his eyes looked at Ling Ling with deep and clear eyes, and for a moment, he withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Miss Ling's physique is different from ordinary people, although her bones are thin and small, she is a good material for martial arts."
"Huh?"
She was a little confused, and this senior Wei shook her wrist and said that her physique was different from ordinary people? Why didn't she feel like she was anything special?
"What, you don't want to worship me as a teacher?"
Wei Fanhua quipped, the corners of his eyes curved, revealing a few shallow creases.
Ling Ling immediately came back to her senses, joy instantly bloomed from her beautiful little face, she raised her hands, knelt on one knee, lowered her eyes and said,
"Disciple Ling Ling, meet Master."
"From today on, you are my Wei Fanhua's apprentice, and within three years, I will definitely train you to become one of the best masters in the Mingyan Continent."
Although his tone was arrogant, his face was full of confidence, his eyes were blazing, and he was full of spirit.
"You go to the back mountainside flower garden to find Xiao Nan and tell him that I will arrange for you to live in the Winter and Summer Pavilion."
"Yes, Master."
Ling Ling raised his hand and saluted, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Also," he said softly as he looked at Ling Ling's back,
"Winter and Summer Pavilion is not very easy to live in, but it is very helpful to you, you have to persevere. From today onwards, you will have to stay in the Winter and Summer Pavilion, read them carefully, and memorize them backwards within half a year. ”
Ling Ling turned around and saluted Wei Fanhua again, "Disciple knows." ”
"Go ahead."
"Retire in vain."
Ling Ling turned around and walked away from the Forgotten Worry Pavilion.
Thinking that she was about to learn martial arts, her heart was full of excitement, although she could expect that the process would be very bitter, but she never dreamed that she would one day become a martial arts master, now this opportunity is in front of her, not to mention for Huo Yun, just say herself, she still remembers how shocked and worshipped Nangong Lingyu's flowing sword dance in the main hall, at that time she thought that she must practice martial arts if she had the opportunity, and now, it is an opportunity.
As soon as she thought of this, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she stepped to find the flower garden.
Wei Fanhua stood in front of the door with his hands in his hands, the wind on the top of the mountain blew his silver threads, his eyes were fixed on the direction of Ling Ling's departure, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, he opened his lips lightly, and said to himself,
"One soul and two bodies, fate dictates."
