Chapter Eighty-Four: So, What About the Price of Growth?

"Master, where did you pick me up?"

The question is somewhat sudden.

Chen An was stunned and replied, "I don't remember." ”

He didn't really want to mention that past, so as not to make Su Chi recall the bloody scene at the beginning.

"What, what's the problem?"

He then asked rhetorically.

But the girl had already lowered her head and whispered no.

Because she lowered her head, Chen An couldn't see her expression clearly, but he also had some guesses in his heart.

He didn't debunk it, and she didn't continue to ask.

Only Chu Qingli, who had been watching from the side, felt the strange atmosphere between the master and apprentice.

……

……

After Su returned to the valley for a long time, it was as if he had changed from before.

For her cultivation, she no longer fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, but studies and practices diligently every day, and can even meditate in the cave for several days in a row.

This kind of hard-working behavior, in the past, will never appear in this lively and active girl.

Chen An saw it in his eyes, a little surprised, but also a little relieved.

It's like a good child who has been raised for a long time, and finally became enlightened and knew that he had worked hard to cultivate.

Su Chichi's talent is already extraordinary, and with Chen An's careful teaching, he has made rapid progress, and his cultivation is naturally rising.

In the third year after she returned to the mountain, she could already faintly touch the threshold of breaking the realm.

It was also this year that Chen An found an excuse and drove Chu Qingli and the fox demon down the mountain together.

He didn't have any other ideas, he just didn't want to renew the incident and implicate innocent people.

On this day, Chen An meditated and practiced in the cave as before.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a practice, and its practical use of napping is more appropriate.

His cultivation is equivalent to picking it up for nothing, and he really hasn't experienced the feeling of not bullying the poor of a young man.

The white skirt fluttered, and Su broke in belatedly.

Her face faded a little, and her temperament became a little cold.

Often only when getting along with Chen An will the naughtiness of the little daughter's family be revealed.

These details also reminded Chen An one by one.

Su Chi Chi grew up.

She is no longer the little girl who is willing to share everything with her master, and she also has her own little secrets.

In the past three years, except for becoming more fond of cultivation and becoming colder, Su Chichi and Chen An's relationship has not changed much.

Just like now, she can still be coquettish at Chen An.

"Master, I want to go down the mountain."

Chen An didn't stop him, but just smiled and responded.

But Su didn't leave in a hurry, but shook the man's arm unrelentingly.

"Master, other people's apprentices go out to the mountains and rivers and lakes, but the master has to take out the magic weapon to take care of the family background and give it to the apprentice, don't you want to mean it?"

Chen An was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

"It's true, everyone else has it, and my family naturally has to have it too."

"And what kind of artifact do you want?"

Su Chichi's eyes moved slightly, and he first talked a lot of nonsense, such as what kind of flying boat to travel, self-defense jade pendant that can resist the blow of the immortal, and so on.

It wasn't until Chen An agreed that she seemed to mention it inadvertently.

"Master, you say, is there any magic weapon in this world that can make people kill people across borders?"

Chen An replied casually: "That's a lot, for example, the Kunlun faction has a treasure of the town faction, called the Taishi ruler, and the ruler holder can make the spiritual power contained in the ruler for thousands of years, if you can communicate with the instrument spirit, even if it is held by mortals, there is a chance to kill the monk." ”

"If it is replaced by a Yuanying Monk, as long as it is used properly, it is not impossible to defeat a strong enemy across one or two realms."

Su Chichi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Then a powerful immortal like the master, will there be a day when he will be defeated?" ”

Chen An glanced at her and said, "Of course, Mahayana immortals are also human beings, but they can't break my body protection god by waiting for idle means." ”

This matter, as Su Chichi, who gets along with Chen An day and night, naturally knows about it.

She fell silent and didn't ask any further.

It wasn't until three days later that Su Chichi found Chen An again and asked his master to create the sharpest magic weapon in the world for her.

She can make the Yuan Infant cultivate, and she can also easily pierce the body protection god of the Mahayana monk.

Su didn't hide it for a long time, so he said it as he was.

She had already prepared the next master's interrogation, or about Sujia Village, and the two had a complete showdown.

But Chen An didn't say anything.

He even smiled and agreed.

didn't ask a word, as if no matter what Su Chi wanted to do, he would be willing.

Su Chi Chi quickly left in despair.

No one knows what she's thinking at the moment, and what it's like.

She vaguely felt as if something was wrong, but as if she was in a trance, she couldn't muster any energy to think about it.

She is like a marionette who has been manipulated, only by completely cutting off all the past with someone and taking revenge can she kill her demons and regain her sanity.

In the cave mansion, after Su left for a long time, Chen An sat alone in place.

He didn't meditate, and his posture seemed casual.

Half-sitting, half-lying, in the secluded cave, a man's muttering sounded.

"Is there any divine weapon in the world that can make a mere Yuan Infant behead Mahayana?"

……

……

But despite having said that, three months later, Chen An still forged a 'divine weapon' and delivered it to Su Chichi.

The divine soldier is a long sword, the sword body is bright, and the sound of the sword is clear and pleasant.

Whoever sees it has to call it a good sword.

During this time, Su Chichi began to become more and more reticent.

Chen An sometimes thinks to himself, maybe this is the process of growing up?

So, what is the price of growth?

Chen An's thoughts jumped out of his mind, and he was thinking wildly.

He didn't have much to do in the valley, so he often thought about it like this.

This day was the day when Su came to say goodbye.

She has already got everything she wants, and there is no other reason to stay.

Chen An had a whim, and took her to do what the two of them often did when they were children again.

For example, to bully and bully the tiger spirit who swallowed the essence of the sun and the moon in the forest.

For example, pick up a fishing rod without bait and go fishing in the lake called the Great Lake.

He also took Su Chichi to see the bamboo forest outside the valley.

When he first arrived in the valley, Chen An cut down bamboo and built houses here.

The fishing rods and bamboo chairs of the two of them are all made of the bamboo here.

I still remember that most of the bamboo in the bamboo forest at that time was taken away, and it looked particularly miserable.

When the mountain wind blows, only the few surviving bamboos shake.

Now that the time has passed, Chen An has come again.

The bamboo forest has been restored to its original pomp, dense and lush, rustling.

In the end, Chen An took Su Chichi's hand and returned to the valley.

In the evening, the sunset is red.

From a distance, there are still some blue-purple colors that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Chen An pulled the girl who didn't say a word, took a handful of water, and gently wiped her face.

He smiled with some emotion.

"I remember when I was a child, you were naughty, and you often got mud all over your face, on your clothes, everywhere."

Su Chichi's face was expressionless, and he let the man fiddle.

She said: "It's because I was ignorant when I was a child, which annoyed the master. ”
