Xu Bing looked at the old man with a smile on his face, and was about to pay homage to him, but the old man suddenly shouted to stop, and muttered to himself, "Something is missing."

The old man thought for a moment, only to see that he touched his waist, and suddenly a chair appeared in his hand, and he put the chair behind him, and then sat on it himself.

Then he took out a table and placed it in front of him, and an incense burner, in which there were even several half-burned pillars of incense, which he placed on the table in front of him.

The old man stared at the incense burner for a moment, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he shook it off, and at the same time said to himself, "My old man is not dead, and he can't use incense, he can't use incense."

After doing all this, he looked at Xu Bing again, "Okay, good apprentice, hurry up and apprentice." Even rubbing his hands together while talking, it seems that he is looking forward to this apprenticeship.

Xu Bing saw that the old man had no other movements, so he knelt down and said, "Today, Xu Bing is here to worship the old man as a teacher, and in the future, he will listen carefully to the teacher's teachings. After speaking, he kowtowed to the old man in front of him three times, but outside the suburbs, there was no tea to respect, which could be regarded as a gift of apprenticeship.

However, the old man didn't care about this at all, but hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Bing up, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, all the tables and chairs on the ground were gone.

He looked at Xu Bing and said, "Good man, from today onwards, my old man will be your master, and you will have to listen to your master in the future, do you know?"

Xu Bing didn't reply, but nodded seriously at Shizun.

The old man was very satisfied, laughed, and seemed to think of something, touched his hand on his waist again, and the next moment he saw an extra dagger in his hand.

This dagger is very similar to the dagger used by Xu Bing, both of them are pitch black. However, the difference is that the handle of this dagger is inlaid with two crystal-like objects, and in the center of the dagger's body, there is a gap that is slightly shorter than the whole dagger. These two embellishments make this dagger look much more beautiful.

The old man handed the dagger to Xu Bing and said to him, "This dagger is not a good treasure, but it can also be used for self-defense, after all, you have not cultivated yet, and no matter how good the magic weapon is, it will not be able to exert its power, so I will give this dagger to you as a gift for the teacher."

Xu Bing looked at the dagger in front of him, raised his hands to take it, and looked at Shizun and said very firmly, "Thank you, Master."

"Haha, yes, yes, much better than the old man's other apprentice. Good boy, you remember, for the teacher's surname is Ma Yujian, known as Yujian Zhenren, if you encounter trouble that cannot be solved in the future, you will mention the name of the master."

"No, in the future, you have to practice with the master, and with the master here, you won't encounter any troubles that can't be solved."

"Okay, good disciple, the master will return to the sect in three days, and you will go back with me when the time comes. It's almost dawn, so you go home first and discuss with your father and mother, so that they don't worry, and then your brother's mansion will find you a teacher three days later."

While the old man spoke, he kept yawning in his mouth, and his body flew towards the place where Fancheng Shen Mansion was located without stopping.

Xu Bing was still in place, looking at the figure of Shizun leaving, bowing to him again, and then put away the dagger given to him by Shizun and ran in the direction of Xu Mansion in Fancheng......

When Xu Bing returned to Xu's mansion, there was already a faint flush in the eastern sky, and when he came to the front hall, he saw Xu Tianrong and Lin'er who were waiting anxiously at a glance.

Seeing Xu Bing coming back, Lin'er shouted "brother" and jumped up and hugged Xu Bing. "Brother, why did it take you so long to come back, you scared Lin'er to death, Lin'er thought something had happened to you." Lin'er said that there were some tears in her eyes, and she was about to burst out of her eyes.

Xu Bing touched Lin'er's head and said softly, "Don't worry, my brother's martial arts are good, and it will be fine." After speaking, he pulled Lin'er and walked over to Xu Tianrong.

When Xu Tianrong saw Xu Bing coming back, he was also smiling at this time, and said lightly, "It's good to come back, come and eat something."

The three of them walked to the back hall together, about what happened last night, but Xu Tianrong didn't ask Xu Bing.

At the dining table in the back hall, the three of them sat around eating the meal, Xu Bing glanced at Lin'er, then moved his gaze to Xu Tianrong, and paused before he spoke, "Dad, the child will leave home in a few days."

Before Xu Tianrong could react, Lin'er suddenly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

As he was talking, Xu Tianrong suddenly interrupted Lin'er's words, "Listen to your brother."

"Dad, the child failed last night's mission, and the other party is a disciple of an immortal."

But......

The immortal also adopted the child as a disciple.

When Xu Tianrong heard Xu Bing's words, his eyes suddenly brightened, he looked at Xu Bing, and said with some doubts, "Before my father remembers, on top of the test of the Cloud Holy Sect, didn't that immortal say that Bing'er was not qualified enough to practice?"

The child thought the same, but last night the immortal took out a spherical pre-spirit stone and asked the child to test it with blood, and finally a four-colored light cluster appeared on the pre-spirit stone. According to Shizunruo, there seem to be two kinds of spiritual roots in my body, which seem to be Lei Yin spiritual roots, and the specific situation is not clear to the child, so I can only ask Shizun to solve my doubts in the future."

When Xu Tianrong heard this, there was a burst of joy in his eyes, and he muttered in his mouth, "Two kinds of spiritual roots, four-colored light, could it be the heavenly spiritual root that the immortal said before, I didn't expect Bing'er to have this creation."

Lin'er listened to the conversation between her father and her brother on the side, and she also became happy, but soon, there was a trace of sadness on her face, she looked at Xu Bing and said, "Is my brother leaving this time to follow your master to practice?

Xu Bing saw Lin'er's slightly pursed mouth, smiled and said, "Silly girl, this is my brother's home, even if you go farther, you have to come back."

Xu Bing seemed to think of something as he spoke, and turned his head to Xu Tianrong and asked, "By the way, Dad, you said before that if the child can practice, remember to find his mother back, where did she go?"

Xu Tianrong heard Xu Bing's words, but the original smile on his face disappeared at this moment, he looked into the distance, and said with a little reminiscence, "Your mother disappeared before your father brought you back. At that time, Lin'er had just been born, and your mother was still very weak and had been lying in bed, but on the night of Lin'er's full moon, your mother suddenly disappeared." Xu Tianrong said, there was a trace of wetness in his eyes, "Your mother is missing, it is really missing, there is no trace left, not even any sound is made, so far, fifteen years, fifteen years, fifteen years......"

Lin'er only knew at this moment that it was not that she had no mother since she was a child, but that her mother disappeared shortly after she was born. She looked at her father's sad eyes, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, got up and came to her father's side, and hugged him tightly.

Xu Bing didn't actually have any emotions for the mother Xu Tianrong said in his mouth, but when he saw Xu Tianrong's sad appearance, he also had some uncomfortable feelings in his heart. After all, Xu Tianrong adopted him when he was five years old, and now more than ten years have passed, he has long regarded the other party as his biological father, and even so, Lin'er's mother is also his mother.

Xu Bing looked at Xu Tianrong and said very firmly, "Dad, don't worry, no matter where my mother is in this world, as long as the child still has a breath, she will definitely be found back and our family will be reunited."

When Xu Tianrong heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face again. In his heart, he has long regarded Xu Bing as his own child, and now he is even more happy to see Xu Bing so determined. However, he also knew that even if Xu Bing became a monk, it would be too difficult to find his wife, after all, she had been missing for fifteen years, and no trace had been left, not to mention that Xu Bing had never seen her. But Xu Tianrong didn't say what he thought in his heart, he wanted to give himself a hope, and he also wanted to give his daughter a hope.

Xu Bing also stood up, came to Xu Tianrong, and hugged the two. The father and son hugged each other like this, with low cries and faint laughter......
