Chapter 244 Apprenticeship
Tang Xuyou thought about it, but he really couldn't think of it.

He could only smile wryly, and said: "You don't need to cover it up mysteriously, what exactly are you going to do, let's be honest."

Tang Chengnian smiled and maintained the gesture of arching her hands. With her body shape, it wasn't serious, but rather funny.

"I'm here to apprentice." She smiled.

"Apprenticeship?" Tang Xuyou hesitated for a moment and then added, "Me?"

"Elder Tang, you are obviously pretending to be confused! When I came to the inner gate, I didn't go anywhere. The first person I came to was you, and the person I was looking for was you. Besides you, who else could I learn from? ?" Tang Chengnian was still smiling.

Tang Xuyou was a little embarrassed, but more still puzzled.

He was really confused: "But why would you think of asking me to be your teacher?"

This time, Tang Chengnian, who really understood, showed a puzzled expression: "Elder Tang said that, does it mean that he doesn't want to accept me as an apprentice?"

Tang Xuyou was very upset, how could he answer this!
If she said no, she would definitely hit the snake with a stick; if she said yes, she would definitely offend Mingchu.

Now, Tang Xuyou couldn't help thinking, did he offend|offended Mingchu when he didn't know it, and he deliberately punished himself?

"Hahaha... I'm just kidding. Don't worry, Elder Tang. This matter was not my uncle's idea."

Tang Chengnian burst out laughing for no reason and said quickly.

Tang Xuyou smiled wryly: "You child..."

He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then... is it Elder Mingyue?" He was referring to Mingyue Jin.

Tang Chengnian quickly shook his head, "This is not my little uncle's idea."

It seems that Ming Yuejin usually punishes these inner sect elders. Thinking about it carefully, this group of elders who are domineering in front of outsiders have to live under the rule of the ice cube Mingchu and the tricky Mingyuejin , is also pretty miserable.

Of course, she could only take pleasure in the misfortune.

Tang Chengnian smiled secretly, but he didn't expect that his shining eyes had already betrayed him.Although Tang Xuyou didn't know what she was thinking, he guessed it pretty well.

He shook his head helplessly, knowing that his status as master-apprentice could not be dismissed, but he was really not sure if he could control himself as an apprentice who was as naughty as her little uncle's.More importantly, Tang Xuyou still didn't understand why Tang Chengnian insisted on worshiping him as his teacher, couldn't it be Mingchu?Can't Mingyuejin work?What is special about him, if it is said that he is close, he thinks he has not met her a few times, especially after entrusting her to Chang Xinchen to take care of her—to be honest, from his point of view, Chang Xinchen I'm afraid she is closer to Tang Chengnian than him.

If this doubt cannot be dispelled, Tang Xuyou would not dare to accept her as his apprentice.

Of course, due to Mingchu and Mingyue Jin, if Tang Chengnian could give him a reasonable reason, he would naturally not refuse.

"Miss Tang, you and I know each other well, let's just say it straight, why do you have to worship me as a teacher?... With all due respect, no matter if it is the head of Mingyue or the elder of Mingyue, their cultivation base is higher than mine. , and have the experience of educating disciples, he must be more suitable as a master than me. Even if you leave these things aside, the head of Mingyue and elder Mingyue are still your two uncles. If you talk about trust, I don’t think I am qualified to compare with them. ?” Tang Xuyou is not a person who underestimates himself, but he is also not a person who is arrogant, what he is best at is finding his own position.

He was only puzzled by this one, if he couldn't solve it, he wouldn't feel at ease.

Tang Xuyou talked eloquently for a long time, but he didn't hear an answer for a long time.

If it was normal, and he said so many words, Tang Chengnian would probably have returned with a long list of words, right?

He sighed and thought to himself, could it be that he has some kind of masochism, and it would be nice not to be scolded?
"Cough cough."

Tang Chengnian coughed and drew Tang Xuyou's attention back.

He hurriedly looked at Tang Chengnian, with the appearance of a fairy on the surface, but he was so nervous that he was dying in his heart.

Now that he had finished speaking, he was worried that he would offend Tang Chengnian if he spoke too much.

Fortunately, Tang Xuyou got a response from Tang Chengnian before his heart fluttered.

"Elder Tang, don't worry, you are the person that uncle and uncle trust, and I will naturally trust you as well as they do. Even if you said so much today, it is only because of your cautious personality, there are people like you It’s too late for me to be a master.” Tang Chengnian spoke first to appease her, but she had already expressed her attitude very clearly, that is, the status of master and apprentice, and she was convinced, “As for why you don’t learn from uncle and uncle... It’s really inappropriate.”

Tang Xuyou asked hesitantly: "Is it because of this?"

"I said it too generally." Tang Chengnian chuckled, "Actually, my identity, except for close people like you, must be kept a secret. My parents...don't know when I will offend you They dare not vent their anger on my parents, but it does not mean that they dare not vent their anger on me. I am just a seven-year-old child, and I am just a little Foundation Establishment cultivator. Take care of me, even... tie me up. It's too easy to let me go. If I learn from the elder uncle or the younger uncle, I will live under the nose of others, and sooner or later I will be found out. Therefore, out of this consideration, I must not learn from the two uncles. .”

She explained it in such detail that Tang Xuyou couldn't find any problems after listening to it.

He asked again: "Then, why me? Even though you can't ask Master Mingyue or Elder Mingyue in person, you can ask them for advice in private."

Tang Xuyou really didn't have experience as a master, and he was not good at the fire spirit root spell, so he was afraid that it would delay Tang Chengnian.

Tang Chengnian quickly explained: "You don't have to worry, the two uncles do teach me from time to time."

"Then why do you have to be a teacher? Isn't it okay to not have a master?" Tang Xuyou was puzzled.

"You are an elder of the inner sect, and you have a special status. Naturally, you don't know that a disciple without a master will be oppressed by the inner sect." Thinking of this, Tang Chengnian was also a little irritable.When her reputation was not obvious before, it was comfortable to go from the outer door to the inner door, and from the inner door to the outer door, but now the inner door disciples all recognize her face, and there are more people who come to make trouble.

Obviously just passing by once, he was stopped three times.Three times!

She is not afraid of challenges, or even provocations, but she is always troubled by others, like an unbeatable fly flying around her every day, buzzing, buzzing.It's not harmful, it's annoying!
Tang Chengnian said very resolutely: "I need to use your identity as a shield, at least to screen out those useless people. After that, if you really want to trouble me, at least you can think of some smart ways. I think , fighting wits and courage is always more interesting than being harassed|harassed all the time."

She was right and well-reasoned.

But precisely because of this, Tang Xuyou thought of teasing her: "But why should I help you?"

"For our mentorship!" Tang Chengnian laughed.

At first, Tang Xuyou didn't understand what she meant, "What do I want the relationship between master and apprentice?"

Tang Chengnian shook his head pretending to be disappointed: "If Elder Tang doesn't understand, then I'm afraid I really have to worry about whether you are suitable to be my master..."

Although most of it was deliberate, Tang Xuyou still heard a trace of hesitation.

It's so strange, when Tang Chengnian shamelessly wanted to recognize him as his master before, Tang Xuyou was a little unhappy, but now that Tang Chengnian wanted to withdraw, he was even more unhappy.

Seeing that Tang Chengnian refused to speak, Tang Xuyou knew it was a test for him!
But what did Tang Chengnian's words mean?
He lowered his head and began to think.

The relationship between master and apprentice...

Master and apprentice...

mutual affection……

Master and apprentice...

Could it be that the key point is this "master and apprentice"?
understood!Tang Xuyou laughed out loud.

"Hahaha...Miss Tang, you are so generous!"

"Let me be bold, you really took advantage of it, and I will accept the generous evaluation." Tang Chengnian responded with the same smile.

Naturally, she would not naively think that because she was Mingchu's niece, Tang Xuyou would help her unconditionally.

Even if it is just for the title of master and apprentice.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Tang Chengnian had proposed her reward.

And that reward, in her words, is also in her request.

Come and go, there is nothing more than the same sentence, the status of master and apprentice.

The relationship between mentor and apprentice.

Master and apprentice.

No matter what agreement she made with Tang Xuyou this time, in the eyes of outsiders, they are master and apprentice.

Both are prosperous.

If she strives for success, people will only say how successful Tang Xuyou's apprentice is.

If she becomes famous in the future, these honors will also be draped on Tang Xuyou's body.

Although this is the world of cultivation, it is still an ancient era after all. Once the master-disciple relationship is established, it is difficult to let go.Moreover, this has nothing to do with feelings, but is an unspoken rule established in the secular world. If someone does not abide by it, he will be a public enemy - which means that today, Tang Chengnian's reward is actually supervised by the people of the world. .

Although everything has to wait for Tang Chengnian to grow into a person who can have a place in the eyes of the monks in the world, however, Tang Chengnian is full of confidence in himself.And what Tang Xuyou has to do is to bet on whether she will be successful or not.

Even if he couldn't, he actually didn't suffer much.

There is no harm for all benefits, and a fool would not agree.

Tang Xuyou immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will take you to the Deacon Hall to register later."

Once the master-student status is registered and the sect is announced, it is considered established.

Tang Chengnian immediately bowed down again, and automatically and consciously changed his address: "Greetings, Master!"

"Okay, these ceremonies are all that's left. After the registration is over, drink a cup of apprenticeship tea." Tang Xuyou doesn't really think that she is Tang Chengnian's real master. After all, she has just said that Mingchu has been there teach her.Not to mention that he had no experience in teaching apprentices before, even if he had, he could only be called a classmate in front of Mingchu.
