"Are you willing to be my disciple...?"

When these words fell on Andrei's ears, it was like a bombshell exploding, and his spirit was in a trance, and he couldn't believe what he had heard, what kind of identity was Abner, that was a savior-like figure, and what about him? Just a homeless and unemployed gangster who was disliked by everyone! How many dignitaries and nobles wanted their children to worship Abner as a teacher? Andrei couldn't believe that Abner would take a fancy to him.

If this is pie in the sky, then this is still a king-size one, which directly smashed Andre into a daze, and even he himself didn't think what he heard was true.

"I... I seem to have auditory hallucinations, well, how could the great sage be willing to take me as an apprentice? It must be auditory hallucinations..."Andre smiled self-deprecatingly, but then the "auditory hallucination" came again: "Young man, don't you want to?"

"Of course you do! André didn't take it seriously, and underestimated himself, but he still didn't think that those words really came from Abner, but only thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

Abner looked at Andre and nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Well, before you, I also took in four apprentices, so you are my fifth disciple, young man, what is your name?"

This time, Andre was completely stunned, he looked at Abner in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time, if it weren't for the faint pain on his forehead because of the arrow from the star mark before, he might feel that he was still in a state of auditory hallucination, no, it should be said that he was daydreaming.

"I... Did I hear you right? No, are you willing to take me as an apprentice?" At this time, Andre finally came back to his senses and asked tentatively, don't look at his usual timidity, but at this time he is worse than a child, and his voice was full of apprehension.

Abner smiled and nodded, "Yes, can you tell me, what's your name?"

"My name is Andrei!" André almost shouted this, and to confirm that it was not a dream, he squeezed his thigh until he gasped in pain. It was only at this point that Andrei was truly sure that it was not a dream, that everything was real, even if it was too incredible for him.

"Come here. Abner beckoned to Andrei. Andre was like an obedient pug, hurriedly trotting over, he actually wanted to use it too, so as not to look so hairy, but he couldn't control the excitement in his heart, even if he tried his best to restrain himself, the speed of the upside down on his legs was still fast.

Standing beside Abner, Andre felt like he was in a dream, and at this time, he wanted the world to know that he was lucky. And this first person is the star mark that just made Andre feel powerless to face.

Andre looked at Starmark with a smug look, and at this time, Starmark was squinting, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and his lips were pursed, looking not very happy. In Andrei's opinion, this must be jealous of his opportunity, and being able to worship under Abner is no different from one step to the sky. If André were to describe him, he was like a scavenger, and suddenly one day someone came to tell him that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor and was going to pick him up and enjoy the glory and wealth. Andrei's previous frustration disappeared in an instant, and his mood changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he felt that he had finally turned over, and in the end he had won by himself compared to the star marks!

At this time, Starmark spoke, but he didn't say it to Andre, but looked at Abner and said with a disgusted expression: "Stinky old man, why are you in my way." ”

As soon as Starmark said this, Andrei's jaw almost knocked off, and before Abner could speak, Andrei shouted directly: "You stinky boy, how can you talk to the great sage like this, no, how can you talk to my master!

The star mark glanced at Andre, full of disdain for the other party to become a master so quickly, and the master's shout. Starmark rolled his eyes, and then saw the corners of his mouth rise upward, raised the star-shooting crossbow in his hand, and shook it in front of Andre, looking like he was smiling but not smiling.

Seeing this, Andrei's face changed dramatically, although his heart was still full of fear of shooting the star crossbow, he still took a step forward and blocked in front of Abner, and said to the star mark with a slight tremor in his voice: "You... I'll tell you, don't mess around, this is a great sage!"

"Great Sage, what does it have to do with me?" Starmark snorted, disapproving.

André was about to speak, but Abner took a step forward, stepped over André, and then said something to the starmark that made Andrei's jaw almost fall to the ground.

"Are you willing to be my sixth disciple?"

Andre's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Abner even wanted to accept Star Mark as a disciple, although he admitted in his heart that Star Mark was probably, probably, and indeed a little better than himself, but he was still inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he just felt that he had surpassed Star Scar, if the other party also became Abner's disciple, wouldn't the gap be pulled back?

"This stinky boy, you're lucky, huh. Andre secretly said in his heart, at this time he had forgotten that he still felt that he was lucky.

Unexpectedly, Starmark's next answer made Andre almost drop his jaw again.

"Why do you want to be your disciple? Be your disciple, can you give me money?" Starmark suddenly became serious, and then tilted his head to look at Abner and asked.

Abner didn't speak, but Andrei couldn't help but reprimand first: "Money, money, you stinky boy has fallen out of his eyes! You know money! What is the use of asking for so much money! You are already rich!"

Abner may have also been asked by Starmark, and did not answer Starmark immediately, but Starmark took over and said: "Of course money is good, if you have money, you have everything, you have food, clothing, shelter, by the way, you will have a sense of security." With that, he shook the star-shooting crossbow in front of Andrei again.

Seeing the star-shooting crossbow in Starmark's hand, Andre was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't say a word to refute him

At this time, Abner finally spoke, only to hear him smile and say, "You are right, there are indeed many conveniences of having money. But before he could finish speaking, Abner spread his hands and continued with a helpless expression: "But alas, I don't have any money. ”

"What are you talking about if you don't have money?" Starmark snorted, raising his leg to leave.

Seeing this, Andre hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the star trace, and then said with a fierce face: "You guy, why are you so ignorant!"

Starmark glanced at Andre, his eyes showed boredom, and then he picked up the star-shooting crossbow again, and Andre suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it.

At this time, Abner spoke again and said to Starmark, "I see that you have been begging before, and although you have a good income, this is not a long-term solution after all. Although I don't know very much, I still think that making money should rely on your own hands, your own ability and hard work, if you just rely on other people's handouts, it will not be guaranteed, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Xingji snorted sarcastically: "If you find someone else through your own ability, what's the difference, I don't have to worry about food or clothing now, I don't need you to meddle with things." Since you don't have any money, don't think about being my master. This time, Starmark reached out directly like Andre to pull it away, although he couldn't pull Abner and Andre away at all, and it seemed that he only drilled between the two, but Starmark still had to prove his dissatisfaction with his actions.

Looking at the back of the starmark fading away, Abner shook his head with a smile, and then suddenly raised his voice and said, "If I help you prove that begging is not a long-term solution, will you be willing to be my disciple?"

Starmark didn't even look back after hearing this, but just waved his hand and said, "Then prove it to me first." ”

After Starmark left, he returned home and changed into clean and tidy clothes, at this time he looked like a young master from a rich family, how could he still look like a beggar.

This time, Starmark naturally did not go out to beg again, but went to a flower shop, bought a bouquet of irises, and then hired a carriage to drive towards the east of Prontera.

Yong'an Cemetery, this is the closest cemetery to Prontera, Starmark said to the coachman when he arrived, and then got out of the car and walked towards the depths of the cemetery.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Starmark came to the deeper part of the cemetery, which was much more elaborate in terms of scenery and cemetery layout than the outside. Of course, the price here is also very high, requiring a management fee of 100 gold coins per year, which is absolutely difficult for ordinary families to bear, so most of the buried here are the deceased elders of some large families.

Starmark walked to a new-looking tombstone, placed his iris on it, and then stood quietly in front of the tombstone, not moving, not speaking, just silently watching it. At some point, the wind and snow became much heavier, and a layer of snow gradually accumulated on the ground around it. However, in front of Starmark, there was no snow, only a thin layer of ice.

A drop of transparent liquid fell on the thin ice, slowly dispersed, and superimposed into a new layer of ice shell. The clear liquid came from Starmark's eye sockets, and at some point, he burst into tears. The small body trembled in the wind and snow, and Starmark had obtained a decent material life with his cleverness and cleverness, but he was still a seven-year-old child, a lonely child who had lost his mother and did not know where his father was.

"I miss you so much..."There was a cry in Starmark's choked voice, in front of his mother's tombstone, all the strong disguises were torn apart, and that young and lonely heart trembled in this merciless wind and snow...
