"Kind uncle, beautiful young lady, I haven't eaten for a few days, let's get some money. Starmark pleaded with a pair of young men and women, his pitiful appearance is indeed easy to provoke women's sympathy, and the man will naturally be more generous for the sake of so-called face, just as the man was going to throw five silver coins to Starmark City, a hand suddenly put on the man's hand holding the money.

"Huh?" The man looked up and saw an old man with a white beard, holding his hand out to give Starmark money.

At first, the man was a little dissatisfied, thinking that this person was nosy, but the next second he suddenly reacted, and the appearance of the person in front of him had been seen countless times in books.

"Abner, Great Sage Abner!" The man lost his voice, and the man turned his head excitedly to remind the woman, but it was too much, the surprise on the woman's face would not be any lower than his, and even the makeup was a little out of shape.

Abner smiled slightly, nodded to the lovers, made a silent gesture, and whispered, "I'm sorry, can I ask you not to give him alms." ”

"Well, whatever you say, you can be what you say. Although the man did not know why, he immediately nodded in agreement, and he would not question Abner's words at all. The woman moved faster, directly snatching the five silver coins in the man's hand and stuffing them into her bag. From now on, the couple will probably not give any more charity to Starmark.

Seeing this, Starmark glared at Abner fiercely. With a snort, he turned around and went to the next target to beg, but Abner followed Starmark with a ghost, intervening whenever Starmark was about to beg for money. With Abner's interference, Starmark didn't ask for a copper plate, after all, no matter Abner's identity or status, no one would risk offending him and give a little beggar a kind alms.

"Despicable!" Starmark snorted angrily. "If you have the ability, you will always follow the master!"

Flicking his arms and striding into the alley, Starmark decided to call it a day today, with Abner following, no matter how pitiful he is, as long as Abner comes forward, the copper coins that have been turned over will be recovered immediately.

The next day, Starmark changed places, thinking that he had escaped the "plague god" Abner, but he didn't expect that the "business" had just been completed three orders, and Abner appeared again, and Abner stood next to Starmark with a faint smile on his face. The two did not communicate with each other, and only when Starmark was about to succeed in begging would he open his mouth to persuade others not to give alms to Starmark.

In this way, Abner followed the star mark for many days in a row, and although the star mark changed places almost every day, he could not successfully get rid of him. Later, Abner was like an unpredictable prophet, and when Starmark arrived at the site where he was going to "start work" today, Abner was already standing there waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"Do you know you're annoyed like this! Are you a great sage or a plague god? "Starmark finally can't stand it, he can be said to be unable to make ends meet these days, although the savings are still very full, but for Starmark who has a strong desire for money, it is simply torment to see his small treasury shrink day by day.

Hearing Starmark angrily reprimand himself, Abner was not angry, but was a little embarrassed to put his finger across his nose and said, "It seems to be very annoying." ”

Whether it was Abner's words or his appearance, it was a little unexpected for Xinghe, which made him feel a little funny, but Xingji still said angrily: "At such an age, you are still cute! ”

Abner shook his head and said helplessly. "That doesn't prove that I'm right. ”

"You're just sabotaging like this, you can't prove it at all!" Starmark roared.

"I use my ability to make you unable to ask for money, which has proved that it is impossible to obtain stable money just by talking to others, or relying on your own hands and your own ability is the right way. ”

"It's not your own ability at all, it's just that you're older, and you don't respect the old!"

"Living long is also an ability. Abner remained calm.

"You !?" Starmark gritted his teeth and tried to defend himself, but Abner just spread his hands and said, "Isn't that right?"

"Count you ruthless, hum!" Saying that it was not Abner, Starmark had to turn around and walk away angrily.

In this way, for a month, two months, and three months, Abner always followed Starmark, so that Starmark had no chance to do anything at all, and his full little treasury gradually deflated.

One day three months later, Starmark set out again, ready to repeat the journey he had done every day for three months, only to find that Abner was not there.

This time Starmark was very happy, he felt that he had won, and finally used his perseverance to drive away the plague god, and his good life returned. In addition to the excitement, Starmark immediately dressed up in disguise, ready to take advantage of Abner's no longer fishing today, and regain his unfamiliar skills.

However, when he just walked towards a young man and woman, the other party walked away quickly, without giving him a chance to speak. Starmark was a little surprised by their actions, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other party was just a few people who picked the door to the extreme, or had a habit of cleanliness. But soon he found out that things were not what he imagined, and every time he walked over with his target, people would leave quickly, as if he had been infected by Abner, and became the "plague god" instead of him.

"How could this be" Starmark frowned, could it be that the old guy had used some new means?

Just when Starmark was puzzled, a man walked up to Starmark and asked in a low voice, "Little beggar, stop begging here and go to another city." After all, how did you offend Master Abner, why didn't he let others give you alms? ”

When Starmark heard the man's words, he said angrily and angrily: "I didn't offend him, it was that old plague god who pestered me and sincerely made trouble for me!"

When the man heard this, he hurriedly covered Starmark's mouth: "Shhh After looking at the surroundings, the man continued in a low voice: "You little beggar, I reminded you because I saw that you were pitiful, and you still don't tell me the truth, if you don't offend him, why did you ask me for money last time, Master Abner intervened to stop you." And I've seen it several times that the master follows you and doesn't let others give you alms. ”

Hearing the man's words, Starmark had a heart to cry, and he finally realized why Abner didn't follow him today, because in the past three months, almost everyone in Prontera City has seen Abner stop others from giving him alms, even if Abner no longer follows him, it will be difficult for him to get money again. Anyone would be more inclined to the latter than a beggar or a great sage.

"Stinky old man, old rascal! I won't get any more money for what you harmed, and if I don't take revenge, I won't call it Star Scar!" Starmark gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He didn't continue to beg, it was just useless. I went straight home, changed into clean and decent clothes, and after asking a few people, I went to a place, which was Abner's residence.

"Bang bang, old guy, open the door!" Starmark kicked the door hard.

"Who's it, the door is broken!" came a disgruntled voice from inside.

The door opened, and it was not Abner who opened the door, but Andre, and when he saw the star mark coming, he was also stunned, but he did not expect this hateful boy to run to the teacher's residence. However, Starmark didn't pay attention to Andre who opened the door, and didn't care that this was someone else's house, and went directly under Andre's arm.

As soon as he entered the house, Starmark shouted, "Stinky old man, you come out for me!"

"Stinky boy, don't call you a teacher like that!" Andre caught up with the star mark in three or two steps, and stopped the star mark who wanted to continue to break in. At this time, Andre, compared with the previous image of the gangster, has changed a lot, the big rooster head has been washed off, revealing the original bright golden hair. The clothes of the hanging children were also replaced by a standard swordsman's uniform. Although his handsome face still looks a little arrogant, it cannot be denied that he has an extra heroic spirit.

Footsteps were heard in the house, and Abner stepped out. Seeing the arrival of the star, Abner was not surprised as if he had known about it for a long time.

"You're here?" Abner smiled and handed Starmark a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

Starmark didn't take the teacup from Abner's hand, but looked at him and said, "You said that you would accept me as a disciple, does it still count?"

After hearing this, Andre stared at Starmark with wide eyes, he didn't expect that Starmark, who was stubborn at the beginning, would come to question Abner with this question. After being slightly surprised, Andre rolled his eyes and said: "Don't you dream sweetly, you didn't agree at the beginning, and now you regret it? Although the teacher does what he says, that is the opportunity for you to give up!

Although Andre has been a ruffian since he was a child, his heart is not bad, and he is even more kind to his brothers. Although he hated Starmark so much that his teeth itched, Starmark spared his life after all, so it seems that he is rejecting Starmark for Abner, but in fact he is using Abner's words to provoke Abner to accept Starmark. After André worshipped Abner, he was even more convinced of Abner's extraordinaryness, what he saw and heard, his unique insights, and his profound knowledge were all unheard of by André. Otherwise, it wouldn't have changed Andre dramatically in just three months, so he really hoped that the Star Scar apprenticeship would be successful, and this would not only be a return to the favor. Andre has chased the star mark more than ten times, and has been teased by the other party every time. In Andrei's heart, there is always a ball of fire, there is no place to release it, and there is no way to release it. The bell must also be tied to the bell, and only when the star mark is transcended in a certain upward direction, Andre can be relieved, otherwise it will be a demon in his heart that will impact a higher level in the future.

"In the apprenticeship, I must win," Andrei cried out in his heart.

Starmark glanced at Andre, and although it looked casual, he could still see a hint of gratitude in it. Then, he stared at Abner again, waiting for his answer.

Abner naturally smiled and nodded, indicating that it was still in effect, which was not surprising to Starmark. Starmark had already assumed that Abner would agree, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door. Although he is only eight years old, Star Mark is very smart, and he has been mixing in a mixed society all these years, and he has long been very skilled in controlling people's hearts, otherwise he would not be able to earn several gold coins every day, and it is impossible to play Andre, who is ten years older than him.

"Good!" Starmark nodded, snatched the teacup from Abner's hand, knelt down on one knee suddenly, and said loudly, "Master, please drink tea!" Without half a moment's hesitation, he immediately offered tea to the teacher.

Abner Dao was a little surprised at this time, and he didn't expect the star mark to be so simple. Smiling, he took the teacup, took a sip, and helped Starmark up. After the apprenticeship, Starmark officially became Abner's disciple from this moment.

Later, Starmark did not follow Abner like Andre, and he chose to leave that day, leaving only a sentence that made Andre scratch his head.

"I will follow the teacher's orders, use my own hands, and use my skills to make money. With that, Starmark slammed the door and left.

Looking at the back of the starmark in the distance, Andre felt a little uneasy, the starmark's words made him feel that something was wrong, at least it was completely different from what he thought, the starmark was obviously not here to apprentice, but was brewing some plan.

"Teacher, star mark him," Andre asked tentatively.

Abner stopped André from continuing, and how could he not see what André could see. Abner took the tea he had given before Starmark, took a big sip, and said to Andre, "Remember, from now on, you are a family, and we should respect the choices of your family." ”

Andrei nodded ignorantly, not knowing what Abner was thinking, but could only see that the smile on his teacher's face was even stronger.

Since then, the star mark seems to have evaporated from the world, and Andre has looked for the star mark many times, but there is no trace of him, and when he asks about Abner, the other party only laughs and does not say anything. Time passed day by day, and slowly the star marks faded out of Andrei's life.

The starmark disappeared without a trace, but time did not stand still, and just like that, eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
