Chapter 3 You are more than just an apprentice
Back at the inn, the news that He Qing had brought back a new apprentice had spread through the transmission talismans. The remaining Xianmen disciples were watching upstairs and downstairs, all trying to confirm whether the news was true or not -
"Have you really accepted a disciple? Doesn't the Yaoguang Sect only accept one disciple?"
"Yes, and... everyone knows that Immortal Master Heqing has evil intentions towards his disciples. What is the situation now?"
"Could it be... that the target has been changed?"
He Qing pretended not to hear all these buzzing discussions and led Lu Li all the way back to his room. But as soon as he reached Gu Changnian's room, the door opened from the inside, and Huachiyu supported the sickly man. Gu Changnian seemed to be about to go out.
The eyes of several people suddenly met in the air, and all the rustling sounds around them were quiet. It seemed that the entire inn was paying attention to the next good show.
You know, the leader of the Yaoguang sect usually looks nice and kind, but whenever he sees his apprentice and Hua Chiyu walking together, he always goes crazy.
With that look, let alone a cultivator, she looked like a shrew, which was wonderful.
Among the four, Hua Chiyu was the first to react, fearfully letting go of the hand holding Gu Changnian, and lowered his head uneasily: "Master Immortal."
Gu Changnian took a step forward, deliberately blocking Hua Chi Yu, and saluted, "Master."
He Qing saw him standing here with his body supported, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes filled with respect, showing no dissatisfaction at all, so he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.
How else to say that he is the male protagonist?
I was humiliated by my master in front of the one I loved just last night, and then he drew a knife to kill him. The next day, he acted like a normal person, keeping his posture so low in front of the person who insulted him.
Just like what was written in the novel, he was accustomed to endure things that ordinary people could not endure. He waited until he had learned enough after three years to kill the original owner with one blow.
He Qing admires this kind of humiliation and bearing the burden.
However, when the person Gu Changnian wanted to kill was her, this admiration became a bit complicated.
The more he remained calm, the more He Qing felt like a thorn in the side, and even his left shoulder started to hurt again...
"Yes." He Qing responded with a nonchalant reply, leading the young man he had brought back to leave. She had no interest in staying here and being looked at like a monkey.
But Gu Changnian stopped her: "Disciple, I heard that Master has accepted a new disciple?" As he spoke, he looked at the young man who was a head shorter than He Qing.
The young man with delicate features had disheveled hair and was covered in blood. He was obviously so dirty, but his temperament was calm and calm, and he didn't feel any embarrassment when he stood there.
He Qing also looked at Lu Li beside him and said, "Oh, yes, this is my new disciple, your junior brother, his name is Lu Li."
Gu Changnian couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Master, according to the rules of this sect, we can only accept one disciple. Master's actions... the disciples don't know the meaning of it."
He Qing said casually: "There is no deep meaning, I just felt that I was destined to him, so I accepted it. As for this sect rule, it will be changed from today on."
After hearing this, Gu Changnian looked solemn——
Master just did such a despicable thing yesterday, and today he brought back a beautiful young man. How could he not doubt his intentions?
Did you want to take revenge on him, or did you change the target out of lust?
No matter which possibility it was, it made Gu Changnian sick, but in front of so many Tianxuan Mountain disciples, he couldn't ask more questions.
He could only ask for instructions in a roundabout way: "Lu Li will be out of danger. Why don't we ask my disciple to take him to wash up first so that we can check his injuries."
He Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, not wanting to accept this suggestion: Who knows what this guy will instill in her little apprentice secretly?
However, with so many people watching around her, if she refused, the word "pervert" above her head would probably be marked more clearly.
He Qing looked down at Lu Li, but Lu Li kept staring at Gu Changnian with great interest.
He Qing tightened his hand and made him look away.
The two met each other's eyes for a short time, then Lu Li moved closer to He Qing, and said in an uneasy and slightly pleading soft voice: "Master, I just want to stay with you. If Master is not here, I will be afraid. " Realizing that Lu Li could understand what she meant, He Qing was immediately overjoyed: Good boy, let's get on the road!
He Qing didn't want Lu Li to be alone with Gu Changnian to avoid being poisoned, but as someone with a bad reputation, it was difficult for her to say her refusal.
But it was different for Lu Li. He didn't want to do it himself, and it had nothing to do with her, the master.
He Qing held down the raised corners of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said reluctantly: "In that case, that's it. Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness."
Lu Li obediently agreed, tilted his head towards the surprised Gu Changnian, and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness."
"..."
He Qing didn't get upset or even angry. The Tianxuan Mountain disciples who were watching were disappointed and confused, so they dispersed in low voices.
Hua Chiyu let out a long sigh of relief with lingering fear, and said timidly: "If the immortal master changes his mind and returns to the right path, it may be a good thing for you."
right way?
Gu Changnian looked at the two people leaving the corridor hand in hand and shook his head in disapproval.
He thought of himself——
When he first started, he also regarded He Qing as the most trustworthy and reliable person.
But now...
Past events came to mind, and Gu Changnian felt a surge of disgust in his heart.
No one knows his master better than him. He Qing's paranoia has already become crazy. She is by no means someone who can change her mind easily.
But even though Gu Changnian knew He Qing so well, he didn't have the slightest idea what He Qing was going to do next.

Lu Li washed away the blood all over his body and came out from behind the screen wearing a white undershirt. His wet black hair stuck to the clothes like seaweed, leaving winding wet marks.
While wiping the ends of his hair, he quietly stared at the woman meditating on the couch by the window, her dark eyes as calm as a deep pool.
This woman's thin lips were pursed tightly, and the corners of her mouth were naturally drooped. It was obvious at a glance that she was serious and did not like to smile.
Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her lips are as if they were coated with sand. Such bright facial features, but her whole body has a very cold temperament.
Lu Li had heard of this woman and knew that she was the leader of the Yaoguang Sect. She had been in love with her apprentice for many years and was cast aside by the immortal sect.
But what she saw today was different from the rumors. Her alienation from her apprentice was too deliberate.
Thinking of this, Lu Li's movements froze: could he be using him as a means to stimulate his beloved disciple?
Now that he has been cursed and lost his original appearance and all his skills, having this woman by his side will help him hide his traces.
A slightly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Lu Li's mouth——
Master, huh?
Oh, that disciple, just have some fun with the master.
