In the middle of the day, five young people in their twenties were sitting in the elegant courtyard.

Nie Qinghui, who was born with a yellowish hair, was the oldest of them, twenty-two years old, from Nie Rongqing's lineage. Sitting on his right was Nie Qingfu, who was from the same lineage, two years younger than him and the same age as Han Qing. On the right side is Nie Qingrou, who was added by Zhuo Yuming's blue eyes in the assessment and plans to be accepted as a personal heirloom in the future.

Zeng Yue and Han Qing are also teenagers, and after a morning, except for Nie Qingrou, who has a relatively cold temperament, the four young men are basically familiar with each other.

Zhuo Yuming, who was sitting opposite the five people, explained the cultivation method of the Human Emperor Sutra to the three of them, and then asked them to understand and ask questions on their own.

Nie Qingrou, who is usually taciturn and hardly talks to her clansmen, asks more questions than the other two clansmen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is very detailed. Zhuo Yuming also answered them one by one, as a master, he naturally would not be impatient with his diligent disciples.

Perhaps it was the illusion of the blue eyes and white pupils of the third level yesterday that left a deep impression, and the eyes of the two brothers Nie Qinghui looking at Zhuo Yuming were full of awe, but they were a little restrained and didn't dare to say too much.

In fact, although the performance of these two brothers yesterday was remarkable, they actually failed to get Zhuo Yuming's attention, and the identity of the registered disciples was actually more of an explanation from the Nie family. After all, the Nie family still values the inheritance of the human emperor, and since Zhuo Yuming has made a promise, he naturally has no intention of breaking his promise.

"Okay, you can go back and retreat. It will take a long time for the Human Emperor Sutra to dissolve the Taiyin Sutra in your body, and when you have completed the recultivation of the exercises, you will come to me again. ”

Seeing that none of the three of them asked any more questions, Zhuo Yuming asked them to go back and prepare for the retreat.

"Qingrou, you stay, for the teacher to have something to say to you. ”

Nie Qingrou had just gotten up, and when she heard Zhuo Yuming's roll call, she sat down again.

After nodding to Nie Qinghui and Nie Qingfu, who were saluting, looking at Zeng Yue and the two of them, who were still sitting in place, Zhuo Yuming frowned slightly, looked at them playfully, and did not make a sound.

Han Qing, who was more active, took the lead in reacting, dragged the dazed Zeng Yue up, and after saying goodbye to Zhuo Yuming, he walked out of the courtyard quickly.

"Master, did you leave me alone for something important?"

Seeing that Zhuo Yuming had actually driven out the two senior brothers who had entered earlier, Nie Qingrou couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. After all, she was just getting started, although Zhuo Yuming didn't look like that kind of stern and old-fashioned old gentleman, but she couldn't figure out Zhuo Yuming's temper, and she was also a little upset in her heart.

The reason why Nie Qingrou was able to participate in yesterday's selection was because of Nie Yingrong's strong recommendation and Nie Rongzheng's approval. Otherwise, with the many branches of the Nie family, which of those powerful elders is not a young man who wants to stuff his own lineage into it, how can he still get her to be alone like rootless duckweed.

"Qingrou, what is the cultivation?"

Zhuo Yuming didn't pay attention to her doubts, but asked with a flat face.

Nie Qingrou looked at this young and really young master, and there was no trace of emotion on his calm face. I was a little puzzled why she was just left behind but just asked such a clueless question, but Nie Qingrou didn't dare to slack off, thought about it a little, and said: "My generation of monks practice the Tao, naturally for the sake of longevity and longevity, and live with the sky. ”

Zhuo Yuming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone was deliberately gentle: "Since you worship under my door, you naturally want to treat me as a master sincerely, even if your original intention is just to learn my magic powers." Respecting teachers is the most basic. For the teacher, be sincere. Let me ask you again, what is your practice?"

Biting her lower lip gently, Nie Qingrou's gaze was a little evasive.

Looking at the young woman who was silent, Zhuo Yuming just stared at her softly, and did not open his mouth to urge. The courtyard fell into a brief silence except for the rustle of the breeze on the leaves.

"Practicing is about becoming stronger. ”

After being silent for a long time, Nie Qingrou finally spoke, still with her head down, just looking at the ground, and her voice was low.

Zhuo Yuming smiled and asked, "Why do you become stronger?"

Raising her head suddenly, the young woman's gaze no longer dodged, and her delicate face was full of stubbornness. She looked at Zhuo Yuming without showing weakness, and said word by word: "Becoming stronger is so that those who look down on me don't dare to look down on me anymore." ”

It seems to echo the surging of the girl's heart, the wind in the courtyard suddenly became fierce, and the branches and leaves of several old acacia trees were pulled to make a sound, which seemed to echo the girl's heart.

Zhuo Yuming's color was solemn, and there was a hint of majesty hidden in his indifference, just staring at Nie Qingrou's autumn eyes, as if he wanted to go straight to his heart through his eyes.

Seeing Zhuo Yuming's serious appearance, Nie Qingrou, who had passed with a sense of anger, suddenly felt a little weak.

It seems that the master seems to be a little displeased.

Also, who in the world practices for the sake of gambling with a group of people in the family? If you say this yourself, you will inevitably disappoint the master, is it possible to bother to train a disciple to come out, just to fight for a breath in the clan. But he also said before that in order to prove the immortality of the Great Dao, he asked him to be more sincere. Now that the words in my heart have come out and caused trouble again, what can I do with myself?

Unconsciously, this girl who is not yet twenty years old feels a little aggrieved in her heart.

Will I just apprentice in the morning and be expelled from the door wall at noon? If that's the case, I'm afraid it's unprecedented. It's just that after going back, the gang of people in the family must have had a weird sneer.

"People look down on you because of your father. You want to be strong so that others will no longer dare to look down on your father. In the final analysis, your cultivation, your desire to become stronger, and the desire for others to fear you, all originate from your father. Pure and gentle, cultivation is not about purifying the heart and having few desires to attain the path of enlightenment. All kinds of people in the world have their own origins and hearts. As a teacher, I don't think that the purpose of your practice is wrong, but I just want you to figure out what you are practicing for. Remember, in the midst of adversity in life, it is the time of practice. ”

Zhuo Yuming's expression was serious, but his voice was gentle.

Looking at the young master in front of her in a daze, Nie Qingrou was a little speechless for a while.

There is no expected rebuke and harsh words, nor is there reasonable disappointment and anger. Zhuo Yuming's words were completely unexpected by Nie Qingrou, she just looked at Zhuo Yuming silently and couldn't help but lower her head.

Zhuo Yuming stood up and slowly walked towards the wing.

"My parents died early when I was a teacher, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals. But I think that if my father and mother have a spirit in heaven, they should be relieved and proud to see me today. As a child, it should be good to make your father and mother proud. ”

A soft word seemed to poke the girl's heart, and drops of crystal tears slowly slid down her face.

The girl wiped a handful of tears and smiled.

Brilliant as the stars.
