"Now, would you like to worship me as a teacher?" Yebai asked again.

Ah Xiao was stunned for a moment, and was about to refuse, but Yebai said again: "Let you worship me as a teacher, it is your master's intention, if you don't believe it, you can take a serious look at the letter she wrote to you, she asked me to take you in, but you and I are not relatives, the only way is to worship me as a teacher, as for this master, whether you want to call it, whatever you want." ”

Is that what Master meant?

Ah Xiao hesitated, although she didn't want to be arranged, but she would still conscientiously abide by the master's order, since Ming Muli asked Yebai to take care of her, it was the master's order, and she had to listen.

Seeing that the expression on Ah Xiao's face slowly relaxed, Ye Bai said slightly: "If you are willing, then kneel down and kowtow to the teacher." ”

Ah Xiao thought about it seriously, and finally knelt down, she seriously kowtowed three times, toasted Yebai with a cup of tea, and then slowly got up and stood up.

Yebai took a sip of tea and said softly: "Since you have worshiped the teacher, don't think about leaving here anymore, settle down your mind, listen to and learn well on weekdays, if you have any questions, you can come to Qingming Hall to find me." ”

Ah Xiao hummed perfunctorily, turned around to leave, and Yebai said again: "Also, on weekdays, I am far away from Qiran, Senior Brother Qu has always protected him, and when I am not there, no one protects you." ”

"I don't need anyone's protection. Ah Xiao replied firmly.

A hint of incredulity flashed in the white eyes of the night, but he concealed it well, and was not noticed by Ah Xiao, he put down the teacup and said calmly: "Then when I am not there, Yichen, you take care of it more." ”

"Why?" asked Ah Xiao, puzzled.

Yebai said: "He is my disciple, your own senior brother, he has been unable to speak since he was a child, and he is often excluded and bullied on weekdays, when I am not there, you help him a little." ”

"Got it. After Ah Xiao agreed, Yebai waved her hand, and she turned around and left the Qingming Palace.

I don't know who leaked the news, the news that Ah Xiao worshiped Ye Bai as a teacher reached the ears of all the disciples of the Purple Star Sect in less than a while, Ah Xiao was on the way back to the dormitory, and the disciples who passed by all cast disdainful glances at her, and she vaguely heard the conversation of several female disciples......

"She's Ah Xiao. ”

"That's right, it's her, the girl who made Elder Jiangliu angry at the apprenticeship ceremony, and made Elder Yuexia ugly in public. ”

"Didn't someone say just now that she worships the sect master as a teacher? ”

"Cut, I see, it's just stained with the light of her master Ming Muli, otherwise she is like that, she is not educated and her temper is so bad, how can the sect master accept her as an apprentice. ”

"That's right, look at her proud face, let's stay away from her together, I don't know if people don't like us one day, just like beating Zhu Ning, let's look good. ”

"I heard that she knocked out Senior Brother Pingkun in front of Senior Brother in the cafeteria yesterday, and today she openly opposed Elder Jiangliu in the academy, and she was not punished?"

"It's also punished, people are now the sect master's own disciples, who dares to punish her, isn't there a master of Ming Muli, what's the big deal, what is the pride, cut." ”

The three female disciples chewed their tongues and left, Ah Xiao's steps became slower and slower, and finally stopped, she stood in the middle of the road, looking at the shadow cast in front of her by the moonlight, motionless for a long time.

Stained with Ming Muli's light?

If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual power in her body would not get out of control, she wouldn't worship Yebai as a teacher, from beginning to end, she never cared how many people she would kill when her spiritual power was out of control, no matter how much blood was shed and how many people died, she didn't want to and didn't need to care, but......

"Ah Xiao, no matter what others do, you have to be a kind person. This is what the village chief's grandfather told her, and when the whole village excluded her and bullied her, the village chief's grandfather left her this sentence.

For so many years, Ah Xiao has always remembered this advice, and has always tried her best to control the spiritual power in her body, but her grandfather has never told her what good and evil are.

Good people, evil people, how to tell the difference, she has killed people, is she a wicked person? But that was not her intention. Is she a good person? But she's killed people.

Ah Xiao turned her head and looked at the backs of the three female disciples leaving, they were still taunting and chewing their tongues, and those words came out of their mouths, so simple, it seemed that they didn't waste a little bit of strength. Are they good people? But the words they say, aren't they slandering others, are they evil? But they haven't killed or harmed anyone.

Ah Xiao raised her head leisurely, looking at the full moon that appeared from the thick clouds, her thoughts seemed to be slowly drained by something, she raised her hand and held the purple star stone that fell on her chest, if she took it off now, she would lose control and kill, did she want to do this?

But what the three of them said, kept repeating in her head, and she really wanted to...... Kill them.

Just as she was about to tear off the pendant, suddenly a hand was on her shoulder and patted it lightly twice, Ah Xiao was startled, and slapped the hand away with her backhand while stepping forward.

Bai Yichen looked at her with a smile, holding the back of his hand that was reddened, and didn't seem to care about the pain.

Seeing him at this moment, Ah Xiao felt impatient, she kept taking deep breaths to calm her mood, looked at the little mute with a peaceful face in front of her, and shouted loudly: "What are you going to do." ”

Bai Yichen thought that he had scared her, even if he had really scared her, he hurriedly waved his hand, took out a piece of paper from his arms and quickly wrote something on it, and then handed the paper to Ah Xiao: Are you okay?

Ah Xiao threw the paper back to him, and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked in the direction of the bedroom, Bai Yichen followed closely behind her, and handed it to Ah Xiao as she walked: If you need help in the future, you can come to me.

Ah Xiao glanced at the words on the paper lightly, ignored it, and strode on.

She didn't want to stay here anymore, if she really couldn't control the tearing off the pendant for a while, if she really killed someone, the village chief grandfather who was watching her from the sky, would definitely be disappointed in her.

Ah Xiao walked very fast, Bai Yichen couldn't follow her closely, and wrote down what he wanted to say, he sighed, made up his mind, accelerated his pace and ran in front of Ah Xiao, and stopped her with open arms.

Ah Xiao didn't expect Bai Yichen to run to the front to stop her, her feet couldn't stop for a while, she showed a surprised expression, and suddenly crashed into his arms. And Bai Yichen, he just wanted to stop Ah Xiao, but he didn't expect her to really bump into her, just like that, in front of the public, the two fell to the ground 'embracing'.

Ah Xiao didn't come back to her senses for a long time, her head was buried in his chest, she smelled the faint soaphorn incense on his clothes, Bai Yichen made a gesture of surrender with both hands, looked down at the person in his arms, and didn't dare to move.

The disciples who passed by stopped in unison, looking at this outrageous scene, and whispered one after another, all kinds of sighs came, Ah Xiao reacted, quickly turned over and rolled off Bai Yichen's body, and then stood up on the ground.

A crisp voice sounded in Bai Yichen's ears, pulling his complicated thoughts back to reality, he turned his head to look, a piece of jade pendant fell to his ear, under the light of the candlelight on the side of the road, he could vaguely see a few cracks on the jade pendant, and there was still a little bit of paste color completely different from the jade pendant, he quickly picked it up, turned over and stood up.

Without waiting for Bai Yichen to speak, Ah Xiao snatched the pendant in his hand and carefully checked it, seeing her distressed expression, Bai Yichen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that there was something that could make her so precious, this jade pendant must be very important to her.

The jade pendant was not broken, Ah Xiao carefully took the jade pendant into her arms, glanced at Bai Yichen and turned to leave, she just took two steps, and her wrist was grabbed by a powerful big hand, it was strange that she didn't have the urge to get rid of it this time.

Ah Xiao stopped, turned her head to look at the little mute behind her, and asked impatiently, "What do you want to do?" ”

Bai Yichen hesitated for a while, easily opened her, and then hurriedly took out the paper and said what he wanted to say on it, and flipped it to Ah Xiao: Master said, let me take you to the back mountain tomorrow to pick spiritual grass.

"Got it. Ah Xiao responded perfunctorily, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at her back, Bai Yichen seemed to have something to say, he raised his hand to stop her, but he thought that he couldn't speak, he sighed helplessly, withdrew his hand, followed her silently, and walked back to the bedroom.

Early in the morning, before dawn, all the disciples were called by An Mu and Chen Feiyuan to gather in the courtyard, the morning wind was very cold, and bursts of chill penetrated through the gap in the purple robe, everyone shivered with cold, and looked at the two people standing in front of them with sleepy eyes.

Mu Yangsheng yawned and asked weakly, "Senior brother, why did you wake us up this early in the morning? ”

"That's right. ”

"It's early in the morning, so don't let people have a good rest. ”

Chen Feiyuan looked at the complaining crowd with a calm expression, and said softly: "Today's listening has been canceled, and the elders have specially instructed me and An Mu to take you to the back mountain to pick spiritual grass." ”

"What kind of spiritual grass are you picking, senior brother, if we don't sleep well, we won't have the strength to practice in the afternoon. Luan Yiran muttered.

An Mu smiled at her gently: "It's not that you want to pick for a long time, as long as you pick enough spiritual grass needed for Elder Yuexia's incense class tomorrow, you can go back to the bedroom to rest." ”

"Then why do you want to go at this time, it's not dawn yet. Luan Yiran sighed and asked, although she was a dragon and didn't need much sleep, but now, she has been on land for a long time, and she has long been used to sleeping, and if she doesn't get enough sleep, she will be very uncomfortable.

Chen Feiyuan explained: "This incense class needs the colorful flower heart of the sun spirit, and this spirit flower can only bloom at the moment when the sun rises, and we have to pick its flower center when it blooms. ”

Ah Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, glanced at Luan Yiran, and asked, "What is the sun spirit?"

Luan Yiran patiently explained: "The Sun Spirit is a very rare and strange spirit flower, it grows in cold places, but it only blooms in summer, and only blooms at the moment when the sun rises on a sunny day, the flower heart of the Sun Spirit has a refreshing effect, and the effect is hundreds of times better than other spirit flowers and grass of the same attribute." ”

She said and turned her head to look around, and then said: "The Purple Star Sect is located in the Cold Mountain, and the back mountain will be as cold at night as the outside of the enchantment, only after the dawn, the temperature on the mountain will gradually soften, so the environment here is very suitable for the growth of the Sun Spirit, so this is also the place where the Sun Spirit grows the most in the whole continent." ”

Ah Xiao nodded, and fell silent again, Sun Spirit didn't say it in the book, and she didn't see it, but she was a little curious.

An Mu glanced at everyone gently, and said, "Everyone, let's hurry up, there is still a distance from here to the back mountain, we have to arrive before sunrise." ”

Although they were very unhappy, everyone agreed, they sorted out their clothes, and followed Chen Feiyuan and An Mu out of the courtyard together.

Luan Yiran held A Xiao's arm intimately, rested her chin on her shoulder, and asked curiously: "Ah Xiao, I went to bed early yesterday, I don't know when you will come back, I heard a few disciples just now, Qingming Jun accepted you as an apprentice?"

Ah Xiao nodded, "Hmm." ”

"The pendant you wore around your neck was also given to you by Qingming Jun?" Luan Yiran looked at her with watery eyes, her eyes full of curiosity.

Ah Xiao stared at him for a moment and did not speak...... It's really from the apprentice, but, it's not a gift, it's just a deal, Yebai and Ming Muli are the same, they both keep her by their side in the name of the apprentice, just because they're worried that she will harm people, heh!

Luan Yiran leaned into Ah Xiao's ear and whispered, "I heard that Ye Ying also worships Elder Changfeng as a teacher." ”

At the mention of Ye Ying, Ah Xiao's brows furrowed inadvertently, a trace of displeasure flashed on her face, and then she let out a 'hmm' without care.

Luan Yiran hugged her arm, tilted her head, and sighed: "Alas, I think I am a dignified princess of the East China Sea, but no elder is willing to accept me as an apprentice, if my father knows, he will definitely think that I have disgraced the East China Sea." ”

"You can go to worship Qu Jiangliu as a teacher. Ah Xiao suggested.

"Then forget it, hehehe......" Luan Yiran hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, as if she realized that something was wrong, and suddenly looked at Ah Xiao with a wicked smile, "Ah Xiao, it turns out that you still know how to joke, hehehe!"

Ah Xiao was stunned, brainless?

Luan Yiran then sighed: "I always feel that you seem to have changed as a different person in the past few days. ”

"Is it, where has changed?" asked Ah Xiao rhetorically.

Luan Yiran thought about it, and the expression on her face gradually became serious, "When you were down the mountain, you didn't talk to anyone, even to me was cold, and your eyes, looking at everyone, looked murderous, recently, not only will you take the initiative to talk to me, but your eyes have also become calm, and, you see, you have hugged you for me." ”

As she spoke, she lifted Ah Xiao's arm up like a child showing off her 'booty'.

Ah Xiao glanced at her, and then looked at the arm that was tightly hugged, as if it was indeed the case, if it was before, she would never let anyone touch her, let alone hold her, even if she touched her shoulder, she would immediately turn around and give that person a fist, but now......

In the past eight years, Ah Xiao didn't even let Ming Muli touch it, once she fell into a deep trap, Ming Muli wanted to pull her up, Ah Xiao didn't want to live or die, she pulled the rope by herself, and climbed out of the trap step by step.

Luan Yiran showed a bright smile at Ah Xiao, and said coquettishly: "Ah Xiao, does this mean that you have regarded me as a friend?"

Ah Xiao was stunned for a while, never spoke, looking at the pair of eyes in front of her who were smiling sincerely, but she didn't know that the corners of her mouth were inadvertently raised slightly, and her answer had silently given the answer in her heart.

"Perhaps...... Right. ”

Suddenly, Chen Feiyuan and An Mu, who were walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and everyone followed their line of sight, looking at the thin figure running towards the crowd, Ah Xiao was turning his head to look, and Luan Yiran next to him raised his hand excitedly and shouted: "Yuchen!

Chen Yuchen saw Luan Yiran, directly ignored the brother who wanted to stop her, ran to Luan Yiran's side, and hugged her affectionately, "Sister Yiran, where are you going this early in the morning?"

Luan Yiran was about to speak, but Chen Feiyuan's helpless voice gradually approached from the side, "Chen'er, why did you come out, the grounding is not over yet, hurry back." ”

"Grounded?" Luan Yiran looked at Chen Feiyuan suspiciously, then looked at Chen Yuchen in his arms, and asked with concern, "No wonder I haven't seen you in the past few days, it turns out that you have been grounded, what's the matter?"

Chen Yuchen pouted and explained to her aggrievedly: "On the day I went up the mountain, I secretly went to the back mountain to pick spiritual grass, and when my brother found out, he punished me for grounding, and I came out when the time came today." ”

When she said the second half of the sentence, she still looked at Chen Feiyuan with her hands on her waist, and her cute appearance when she spoke made people want to kiss her.

Luan Yiran looked at Chen Feiyuan suspiciously, and complained: "Senior brother, didn't Yuchen just go to pick a spirit grass, why did you ground her, I often go there, your brother is too strict." ”

Chen Feiyuan sighed deeply, and the expression on his face gradually became serious, "You ask her, when did she go." ”

Luan Yiran looked at Chen Yuchen, who was hugging her waist tightly, and the latter knew what she was going to ask, so he consciously spoke: "...... at night"

An Mu gently patted Chen Feiyuan's shoulder, signaling him not to be angry, then looked at the two of them and explained: "There will be spirit insects coming out of the mountain at night, Chen'er doesn't know how to deal with those spirit insects, if you are bitten, you will be poisoned and comatose at least, and you will die at worst, it is because you are worried that your senior brother will be so angry." ”

Chen Yuchen saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said aggrievedly: "I know, I won't go at night in the future, brother, don't be angry." ”

As she spoke, she let go of Luan Yiran, walked to Chen Feiyuan in broken steps, pulled up his arm and shook it gently, and the coquettish and soft tone made anyone feel numb when they heard it.

"Senior brother, why don't you let Yuchen go play with us. Mu Yangsheng suddenly interjected, and hugged Ah Xiao and Luan Yiran's shoulders very unceremoniously as he spoke.
