Inside the wooden box is a purple and black bamboo stick that is only the thickness of a little finger.

Li Yan found good bamboo, tough enough and not easy to break, said to be a stick, in fact, more like a wooden whip, will not hurt bones, but enough to torture people.

He doesn't leave any love for himself.

Wei Youfang is not a soft-hearted person, a mistake is a mistake, he will be punished if he should be punished, and he will not release water because of Li Yan's good attitude.

- This is the agreement between the master and apprentice for many years.

The long stick bit Li Yan's back like a poisonous snake, he was stunned and didn't say a word, only gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing to ensure that his state did not drop.

Half a year ago, it wasn't a big mistake, but because he acted too rashly and was taught a lesson, he almost couldn't get out of bed, and he didn't know how to get through the night.

But he is really grateful and respectful of Wei Youfang.

The teacher is like a father, although Li Yan's father is still alive when he was five years old, the first emperor may not even remember what he looks like, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his parents died.

And after falling into the ice lake that day, although he was saved, he had nowhere to go.

It's only a matter of time before you freeze to death somewhere no one.

If there was no mercy from Wei Youfang, where would it be today?

Over the years, in order to raise him and not be discovered by the palace, the master has worked hard and endured a lot of hardships, and there is no place to stay overnight in the most difficult time.

Not to mention that such a strict teaching is for his good, Wei You Fangen will not do anything too much to him as far as this is concerned.

Moreover...... Li Yan is now in a high position, no one can remind him or dare to remind him how dangerous his situation is, and the surroundings are full of beautiful words, dragging people into the abyss with sweetness and coaxing.

He hasn't even reached the age of twenty, and no matter how old he is, he will eventually have something to think out of his mind.

He needed someone, a teacher to remind him of all the time, to wake him up from his bustling dreams, to tell him how dangerous the road ahead was, and how many murderous knives hung in the shadows.

Thousands of dollars are easy to come by, but Masters are hard to find.

Li Yan has always felt that he is lucky.

He clenched his hands so that his muscles were bruised, his joints were so white that there was no blood, and sweat was dripping from his cheeks.

Although Wei Youfang is a child's body, his martial arts are extremely outstanding, and he used full strength in a few swings, and Li Yan was almost thrown to the ground by the momentum.

Dealing with paperwork until late at night every day, and rarely doing anything to exercise, Li Yan took the time to think about it when he was in severe pain, and felt that he should also take care of his body.

Don't be stunned here with a few sticks, that's a shame.

I don't know how long it took, he was a little confused, his thoughts couldn't stop wandering, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Li Yan came back to his senses instantly.

After he and his sister left, there was only a master and a scholar, and there was no one living around.

This small courtyard is in the deepest part of the villa, and the scholar is very sensible, so he won't come here at this time, and neither will Gonggong Hai.

…… Li Yan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Wei Youfang glanced at him, Li Yan took a deep breath and nodded at him.

- The door is opened.

It was already pitch black outside, the night was thick, and a few stars could be faintly seen in the sky.

Fu Yao, dressed in a pale red plain robe, cautiously probed inside, but saw Wei You looking at him expressionlessly.

Somehow, she was a little afraid of this little child, who was fierce at first glance, and subconsciously stepped back: "You...... You ......"

You haven't been able to come out of the word "good" for a long time, Wei Youfang asked lightly: "Why is the queen mother here?" ”

Fu Miao didn't expect that it was Master Li Yan here, thinking of those strange sounds of breaking the air, she suddenly became worried, so she looked sideways inside.

There was no one behind Wei Youfang.

Fu Yao scratched his head, he couldn't understand what Wei Youfang was doing alone to make that kind of sound, and didn't Li Yan stay with him, how could he not see anyone.

As if seeing Fu Yao's doubts, Wei Youfang said again: "Looking for the emperor?" ”

Fu Yao's eyes lit up and nodded, but he remembered something and immediately shook his head again.

Seriously speaking, she didn't actually come specifically to find Li Yan, she just chased the rabbit and got lost, but this matter is too complicated for her, and she may not be able to explain it clearly until the next day.

Wei Youfang frowned, not understanding what she meant, but he had no intention of guessing, and acquiesced that Fu Yao was here to find Li Yan, so he made an excuse at random and said: "The emperor has gone to rest, the night is dark, Niangniang go back quickly." ”

"I ...... I ......" Fu Yao bit her lip and whispered, "Lost ......"

Wei Youfang: "......"

I don't understand why his stupid apprentice likes such a troublesome person.

At the moment, he couldn't find anyone else to help, Wei Youfang sighed, helpless: "I'll take you over." ”

With that, he turned and went inside, stepping over a screen to carry the lantern.

Li Yan knelt behind the screen and silently said thank you to Wei Youfang with his mouth.

Wei Youfang was silent and went out with the lamp.

From here to the house where Li Yan was a child, it will take about a cup of tea, Wei Youfang looked indifferent and quiet, but he seemed to be a person who likes to talk, he didn't take a few steps, and suddenly asked Fu Yao: "Niang Niang is afraid of me?" ”

Fu Yao: "Hmm...... No...... Also, it's fine. ”

I'm a little scared, but I'm not so afraid, after all, it's only the first time I've seen it. She was obviously more afraid of talking than that.

But Wei Youfang didn't seem to notice this, and walked two steps in front of her: "It's okay, it's normal, many people are afraid of me." ”

"......" Fu Yao: "...... Oh. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Wei Youfang walked unhurriedly, and suddenly asked, "What does the queen usually like to eat?" ”

Fu Yao: "......"

Fu Yao was about to cry.

It's not that I think the conversation is awkward, it's just that ...... She really didn't know how to answer!

And it's literally I don't know!!

Fu Yao thought about all the dishes he usually ate, trying to remember their names, but to no avail.

She could only try to sum up some commonalities: "...... Fragrant? Sweet...... Hmmm......"

Fu Jiao tried his best to describe: "Yellow? …… Purple? ”

Wei Youfang: "......"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you." Wei Youfang looked like he had a headache, didn't speak anymore, and only walked forward with a lantern.

Fu Yao exhaled.

…… Finally finished asking.

Unexpectedly, before this breath was completely relaxed, Wei Youfang suddenly stopped, carried the lamp, turned around in the night, and looked at Fu Yao.

Wei You was expressionless, but he didn't know if it was because the aura on his body was too serious and heavy, or because the night was too dark and the lights were too dim.

Fu Yao felt that his emotions were very solemn, as if he was going to die in the next moment.

She was stunned by this gaze, and couldn't help but step back: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Youfang asked, "Do you like Li Yan?" ”

Fu Yao: "...... Yes? ”

Hi, like?

What is like? What does it mean to like?

Fu Yao's eyes widened, and his expression was a little dazed.

As if he wanted to know the answer urgently, Wei Youfang repeated it again very seriously and persistently, "Do you like him?" ”
