Chapter 671: Baby Apprentice
How keen was Elder Taishang's spiritual sense, so when Nangong Yingmeng, Drifting Without a Trace, and Moji Wolf, who was following from Sanzhang, came from afar, he had already discovered it. It's just that at that time, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep, so he didn't want to do much at all. Coupled with his deep internal strength, he has never been discovered by others from beginning to end.
The sound of the folding fan, the arrogant lewd laughter of Moji Wolf, etc., this Supreme Elder could hear them clearly. But he just didn't make a righteous move. First, because his mind was still a little foggy, and second, because he was surprised to find that the young man didn't seem to have really been hit.
What made the Supreme Elder begin to be deeply interested was that the young man who pretended to faint was extremely powerful enough to shake off the fatal blow of the great thief with his chest alone.
"I really didn't expect that you would be able to have such an incredible foundation of internal strength at such a young age. From that moment on, I had already decided: you are my precious apprentice, haha......"
"You, you've been there all along, and you've already decided that I'm your apprentice, so why don't you help?" Hearing the strange man's happy laughter, he couldn't help but be angry and asked.
"Baby apprentice, this can't be blamed on the teacher! Because in the teacher's opinion, since you can shake the big thief's momentum with your chest alone, you will definitely be able to defeat the big thief easily. In that case, why bother to do so much for the teacher?"
Seeing the innocent appearance of the strange man, he immediately became angry when he disappeared. "Then, later, I was tied up by Jin Xuwei of the Easy Sect, why didn't you come to the rescue? How could you just watch your apprentice being bullied like that?"
"Don't get excited, baby!" the strange man hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "how could I have watched my own apprentice being bullied?" But why didn't you break it? There must be a reason for that. At that time, the teacher was afraid that your plan would be ruined, so he didn't dare to make a rash move. ”
"Oh, if you don't come to the rescue, forget it, but you still have the beautiful name 'for my sake'?" However, it is inconvenient to say the reason why the rope was not broken by internal force at that time, after all, "the heart of defense is indispensable". Therefore, I can only suffer a dumb loss.
After thinking about it, Piao Wuxian continued to ask unconvinced: "Okay, this time you are justified." Then, in Qi Xia's arms, when I was besieged by everyone and the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, why didn't you come to the rescue?"
"When I heard the crowd shouting 'burn him, burn him,' I was really anxious...... How could I be willing to let my precious apprentice be burned to death? I really wanted to rush up and get you out, but I wasn't sure......" the strange man explained with some embarrassment.
"Who are you fooling? How can you not be sure of your skills?" asked Piao Wuxian with a look of disbelief after being killed.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you the truth, I was a little scared, that's why I didn't dare rush to save you......" The strange man said in a lower voice.
Seeing the strange man's ashamed appearance, he couldn't bear to blame anymore, but asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"Because, I seem to be missing a lot of things. There are memories in it, so now, I don't know who I am at all, and there is cultivation, and I vaguely feel that my skills are getting worse day by day. Although I remember that I was very powerful before, and I could easily deal with everyone in Qi Xia's arms, but recently, my cultivation has fallen very badly, and I can't figure out how far my cultivation has fallen. In my feeling, it doesn't seem to be a problem to deal with one or two people, but there are countless young masters of the ten major sects gathered in Qi Xia's arms...... My instincts tell me that if I make an impulsive move, I am afraid it will not be pleasing to me...... Perhaps, if the person is not saved, he will fall into it......" The strange man was still ashamed.
Drifting without a trace felt more and more unbearable when he heard it, and he really felt very strange in his heart, so he interrupted and asked, "In that case, why did you make a brazen attack in the square where there are more young masters gathered?"
"Because, you are what I think is a precious apprentice!" replied the strange man with a very determined expression, "how can I bear to see you burned alive?
Drifting away and listening, his eyes moistened, and finally he couldn't help but cry out in a mood: "Master!"
Hearing this heartfelt and sincere shout, the strange man was also greatly moved. He shouted, "Good boy," and the strange man continued: "I am lurking in the dark, and I am very anxious. I was hesitant to do it right away, or wait for the right opportunity to rescue me. And I've always wondered why you didn't do it when you could break the rope?"
"Master, in fact, the apprentice's internal strength is obtained by chance, so the effort in other aspects is really commonplace. Even if the apprentice broke the rope, he would never be able to escape, so this effort was not in vain. Actually, I'm looking for a good opportunity just like you, Master, but ......"
"It's just that I haven't found a chance, haven't I?" the strange man was overwhelmed by the call of the unwilling "Master" who had disappeared without a trace, so he said in high spirits.
"Yes!" replied without a trace.
"Haha......" the strange man was in a good mood, "we really deserve to be destined masters and apprentices, and we even have the same plan for a critical moment." Ha ha...... Yes, yes!" After a pause, when his mind had calmed down, the strange man continued, "and since then, I have been thinking this way, and have followed you all the way to the square. Fortunately, there were a lot of dragons and snakes in the square, and no one doubted me, a dirty old man. But as you said, because there are more young masters gathered in the square, I don't dare to make a rash move as a teacher. Until the loose thief ignited the fire......"
Drifting without a trace naturally knew that the "free thief" in the strange mouth was referring to Jin Xuwei, so he couldn't help but praise "good scolding", and then asked suspiciously: "Master, why did you stand up without hesitation when you lit the fire?" Aren't you afraid that even you yourself will 'fall'?"
