My apprentice is a little weird?

After breakfast, everything seemed to return to calm and there was no movement.

The morning sunshine is always so refreshing and is perfect for digesting food after a meal.

Jiang Yan was wearing a gray gown, with a black jade hairpin on his head, and carrying the same bookcase as Ning Caichen on his back, standing at the door of Li's mansion.

The left hand was still holding little Shen Ming.

"Qiao'er, just send it here, and we'll say goodbye here."

"Remember, go to the City God Temple to worship more often when you have time."

Jiang Yan bowed slightly towards Li Qiaoer, warned her again, then turned and left without looking back.

As he walked, he uncorked the gourd and took a sip of wine.

Li Qiaoer pursed her lips, looked at Jiang Yan's back, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Jiang, can you take me away with you?"

Jiang Yan didn't stop or turn around to talk to her, as if he didn't hear what she said.

He was just a passer-by, a passer-by who broke into her world because of his greed for wine. The two should not have any intersection again, and it was natural for him to leave at this moment.

Li Qiaoer's fingers were trembling, and she clenched her teeth. She couldn't help but close her eyes, bent her legs and knelt on the ground.

He bowed deeply to Jiang Yan's back and did not get up for a long time.

Jiang Yan finally turned around to look at her, looking at Li Qiaoer who was kneeling alone in front of the door, and looking at the empty Li Mansion.

Finally, there was only a sigh.

"I'm not a saint after all, so I'm sorry."

Shen Ming looked at Jiang Yan, not understanding what he was apologizing for, and just pulled his hand.

Jiang Yan smiled again and walked away holding Shen Ming's hand.

After a long time, Li Qiaoer stood up and looked at the empty street.

He lowered his head and looked at the Tongxian Order in his hand with a strange expression.

"We will definitely meet again..."

…………

Jiang Yan held Shen Ming's hand and walked on the busiest street in Lianshan City.

The Chinese New Year is just three days away, so every household has put up couplets and hung up red lanterns. There are people coming and going around, and it is very lively, without any influence from the Xu and Wu families.

It seems that he still doesn't know what happened.

Shen Ming also seemed to be in a good mood since leaving Li's house, and even walked in a hopping manner.

Full of curiosity about this new world, children's nature is instantly stimulated.

She looked here and there, dragging Jiang Yan around everywhere. However, she didn't dare to get close to the crowd, and would only pull Jiang Yan to ask curious questions.

"Master, look what this is!"

“That’s a lantern.”

"Master, look what that is!"

“That’s called lion dance”

"Wow! Master, Master, look, look! That, that!!"

Shen Ming shook Jiang Yan and pointed at the long parade in the distance.

Jiang Yan also looked at it with interest.

There was a long procession of people beating gongs and drums, and in the middle there were dozens of people carrying a sedan chair with a statue of a deity sitting inside, covered with a red cloth.

And that statue was the new City God of Lianshan City.

This event was also Lianshan City’s exclusive event in the past, welcoming the gods!

The faces of the people leading in front were covered with paint, as if they were dressed as some evil spirits subdued by the City God.

It looked ferocious, and scared some children into crying.

When they reached Jiang Yan, one of the men dressed as evil ghosts suddenly lowered his head and put his terrifying face close to Shen Ming!

Then... Shen Ming blinked, and the evil ghost also blinked.

"Uh...little girl...you are quite brave..."

The evil ghost smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

Shen Ming suddenly pointed at the sedan chair in the middle.

"That old man seems to be smiling at this side"

The evil ghost man was stunned and turned his head to look.

But I saw that the red cloth on the City God statue had been lifted up, revealing his solemn face! Staring here!

This immediately scared the man!

"Oh, please don't blame me, Grandpa City God. Please don't blame me, Grandpa City God. I was a child who didn't know the severity of his words and offended Grandpa City God."

The evil man apologized repeatedly and wanted to pull Shen Ming to apologize as well.

But the young man next to the girl bowed slightly and saluted the statue of the City God.

The evil ghost man's eyes blurred and he seemed to see a figure flash across the statue of the City God. He couldn't help but shook his head. When he looked again, the figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Am I confused? This... little girl... eh? Is she a human?"

When the evil ghost man turned around and looked again, the two people beside him had disappeared.

No matter how he looked around, he could not find any trace of them.

"Me! I didn't see a ghost in broad daylight! Oh, please bless me, City God! Please bless me, City God!"

The evil ghost man kept praying, and walked away slowly along the team with trepidation.

In another sparsely populated alley, two figures, one big and one small, were walking side by side.

The picture is very harmonious.

Suddenly, the young man raised his hand and hit him on the head.

"Hey, why did Master hit me again?"

"We came here illegally without reporting it."

"He didn't intend to show up anyway, so we just pretended we didn't see each other, but you just called him out directly."

Jiang Yan taught calmly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

The true form of the City God was actually seen by Shen Ming?

You have to know that she hasn't started practicing yet, but she was able to sense the existence of the City God with her spiritual sense alone, and even saw through him with her naked eyes.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, if he did not release his spiritual power, he would only be much stronger than an ordinary person and would not be able to see through the disguises of some monsters.

It is even more difficult for them to see through the worship of gods like the City God.

"I...I don't know..."

Shen Ming said with some grievance.

Seeing that the little tear was about to fall again, Jiang Yan had no choice but to comfort her. He reached out and rubbed her little head and said:

"But it's okay. The City God usually only cares about the affairs of the underworld. Although the City God of Lianshan City has some connections with immortals, as long as we don't cause trouble, he usually won't care."

“Even if we see it, we can only file a case at most.”

As he said this, Jiang Yan recalled the moment when the City God suddenly appeared.

It seems... the first thing he looked at was Shen Ming? Was it because she had revealed his true identity? Or...

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and asked:

"Ming'er, how did you see the City God just now? Did you feel anything unusual?"

Shen Ming was comforted and her mood improved. She held Jiang Yan's hand and thought.

"Hmm... I don't know, I just felt a little familiar, and then I saw it."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Ordinary people generally feel close to gods when they see them offering incense and worshipping them.

Then the City God should have noticed the pure and spiritual aura in Shen Ming.

After all, this cannot be covered up, but there is no need to make a fuss about it.

There are people with clear talents and pure hearts.

It's just that Shen Ming's is more obvious~

"Forget it, we're almost out of town anyway."

Jiang Yan shrugged the book box on his back.

"If you see anything strange next time, tell me first, remember?"

"Yes, Shen Ming will remember it."

"This is so good"

Jiang Yan stroked her head, and the two slowly walked out of the alley.
