On the main street of Qingrui City, a gorgeous carriage was moving slowly, driven by a knife-wielding swordsman who looked a little extraordinary, and a group of soldiers in armor followed behind the carriage.

Those pedestrians who were originally walking on the road all took the initiative to avoid this pedestrian, for fear of disturbing these adults.

It is clear that the person sitting in the carriage must have a certain status.

And the figure sitting in the carriage at this time was Liu Pingsan's apprentice who had not long left the inn.

Chen Chu lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the scene outside, then put down his hand and said to Liu Pingsan with a little apprehension: "Master, why did you say that the city lord called us over?"

Liu Pingsan thought for a while and replied, "Probably because of me." ”

"Oh. ”

After a while, Chen Chuyi, who was still restless, probably to dispel the tension in his heart, asked again: "Master, have you seen many big people like the city lord before?"

Liu Pingsan opened his eyes, touched Chen Chuyi's head, and said softly: "Xiao Chuyi, in fact, Master, like you, lost his parents because of an accident when you were so old, and then began to live alone. ”

"Then Master, aren't you nervous? To be honest, I'm really nervous at this moment, I don't know what the City Lord's Mansion is like, and I don't know if the City Lord is fierce, what if he wants to trouble us?"

"No, silly apprentice, when you really begin to understand the truth of this world, you will find that there are indeed many things in this world that are worthy of your awe, but they are definitely not worldly powers. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Pingsan's eyes looked at the gap in the open curtain, and said with an open heart: "Before, a grandfather told me that the only thing that is truly worthy of awe in this world is nature and the way of heaven, and other mortal things, even those who cultivate immortals and immortal figures, we can respect, but we must not be afraid, whether it is to be a person or to practice, we need to maintain a pure heart, only in this way can we not be defeated by ourselves before being defeated by the enemy." ”

Liu Pingsan suddenly remembered a sentence, so he whispered: "This is probably the meaning of 'not being happy with things, not being sad with yourself'." ”

Chen Chu nodded as if he didn't understand, but his mouth was praised again and again: "Mmmmmm, Master, as long as you say it, it must be very reasonable! Even if I don't understand it now, I will definitely understand it in the future." ”

Liu Pingsan smiled dumbly, nodded Chen Chuyi's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Why didn't I find out yesterday, you still have an oily and slippery side." ”

"Hehe, isn't this just revealed, Master, you will definitely see more in the future, but I don't know if Master, do you like me like this? ”

"Silly apprentice, where do you like it or not, you can do what you want, as a teacher, in these small issues, it will definitely not suppress your nature. ”

"Well, I knew that you were the best, Master. ”

After finishing speaking, he climbed up to Liu Pingsan, rubbed his shoulders again, and beat his legs.

In fact, Liu Pingsan not only didn't feel that his apprentice was bad like this, but he was a little relieved in his heart.

What happened yesterday actually made Liu Pingsan's heart a little worried, he was really afraid that because of this incident, Chen Chu would lose his heart early, and even affect his mood because of it.

At this time, I can see that my apprentice has begun to gradually recover the youthful heart of this age, even if there is still a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes, but Liu Pingsan believes that his apprentice will be able to get out of that experience by himself, just because he has that pure heart.

In the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Mo Qianshan was sitting in front of the desk at this time, supporting his head with one hand, and gently tapping the desk with his index finger with the other.

At this moment, the voice of the porter came from the door: "Master, the guest has arrived." ”

Mo Qianshan first glanced at the door, and then at the man in Confucian clothes who was standing next to him, the latter nodded, so he also nodded to the porter and said, "Please let them in." ”

When he arrived at the destination, Chen Chuyi looked at the two gates of the City Lord's Mansion, and did not dare to step for a while, Liu Pingsan smiled, took the apprentice's hand, and the master and apprentice walked into the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the gatehouse.

City Lord Mo Qianshan looked at the pair of masters and apprentices in front of him, looked at them carefully, took the initiative to look at Chen Chuyi who was standing next to Liu Pingsan, and said with a sincere face: "What happened yesterday is the problem of me, the city lord, and the fact that I didn't protect the residents of the small city well. ”

Chen Chu's face was a little ugly, but he still took the initiative to speak: "City Lord, you are serious, I know that you also have your own difficulties. ”

"Child, don't worry, as the city lord of Qingrui City, I will definitely try my best to seek justice for you!"

For the city lord of a city, he is too familiar with such a set of rhetoric, it is nothing more than a "drag" decision, as for how much effort will be done in the end, how much work will be done, but it is not necessarily.

But Chen Chuyi definitely wouldn't have such a life experience, he just said with a firm face: "It's troublesome City Lord, but I will also cultivate well, and I must avenge my father and mother with my own hands when the time comes!"

Mo Qianshan nodded with a smile, patted Chen Chuyi's shoulder, and said, "Young man, you should have such ambition. ”

Then, the city lord turned to look at Liu Pingsan.

Since the city lord of the other people had talked about this, Liu Pingsan couldn't say anything more, so he hugged Mo Qianshan and took the initiative to speak: "City Lord Xie is willing to ask for justice for my disciples." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Mo Qianshan's eyes, he originally thought that Liu Pingsan brought this child over today, just to let him give an explanation for yesterday's incident, but he didn't expect that this child actually worshipped Liu Pingsan as a teacher.

He looked at Liu Pingsan again, then laughed, pointed to the row of tables and chairs next to him, and said: "Yes, yes, if you are really a hero, please sit down, you masters and apprentices, let's sit down and talk." ”

I saw the city lord of Mo beckoning to the door, and suddenly a slender and graceful maid appeared, serving all kinds of melons, fruits, wine and meat, and setting a full table.

When Mo Qianshan toasted Liu Pingsan, Liu Pingsan politely rejected Mo Qianshan on the grounds that he was still young, and the latter nodded with a smile, so he didn't force it anymore.

After three rounds of drinking, the man in Confucian costume who was sitting on the side of Mo Qianshan suddenly asked: "I don't know if the little brother passed by my Qingrui City yesterday, did he come out to try with the elders of the sect? Where are those seniors? Can you introduce us to get to know each other?"

The Confucian man's tone was full of obvious tentativeness.

Liu Pingsan pondered for a moment before he replied: "The kid is just a loose cultivator with no sect and no sect, there are no sect elders, and he passed by here yesterday just because there was one thing to deal with, and he happened to pass through Guicheng along the way. ”

"That little brother, the spell you cast yesterday related to thunder power......"

When the man in Confucian costume said this, he deliberately paused, then pretended to be embarrassed and explained: "Oh, my memory, how can I ask these things casually as an outsider?"

Liu Pingsan smiled, his face unchanged and said: "It's okay, in fact, my thunder-driving technique was learned from a senior master before, and the name of that master, I am not convenient to disclose." ”

The scholar smiled and said, "That's how it should be, I'll just ask casually, little brother, don't take it to heart." ”
