My apprentice is a little weird?

It was not until this moment that Jiang Yan finally sensed that familiar breath.

It was his master Chi Xiaowen!

"Oh my god! Why is Master here?! Wasn't he in seclusion to achieve immortality? Why did he come out so casually? Did he fail to break through? But the way he looks now... doesn't seem like it..."

Jiang Yan's body trembled slightly, and his hands covered his hips unnaturally? Then he turned around calmly and bowed solemnly with both hands.

"Hello, Master."

Shen Ming lowered his head and obediently stood beside Jiang Yan, bowing along with him.

"Hello, Master."

Chi Xiaowen smiled faintly and nodded, but without saying much, he walked straight past Jiang Yan and Shen Ming and came to the front of the Fifth Elder. He pointed his finger and a pill fell into the Fifth Elder's hand. He turned sideways and met Lu Ming's gaze.

Lu Ming's figure became more upright, and an easy-going and calm aura spread out, but beneath the calmness there was an unstoppable sharpness hidden.

Chi Xiaowen was wearing a white beard and a white robe. There was no spiritual energy following his body, and no magic power flowing in his body. His body was neither tall nor straight, and he looked like an ordinary, amiable old man on the street.

"Brother Lu, how are you..."

As his voice fell, the sharp edge surrounding him quietly disappeared, as if the breeze was blowing on willows, naturally and smoothly.

Lu Ming stared at Chi Xiaowen with his eyes fixed, but after looking at her for a long time he couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, he nodded slowly.

"After not seeing you for so many years, I never thought that I still can't see through you."

After these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere gradually rose.

After taking the pill, the Fifth Elder began to recuperate, but he also kept a part of his attention on this place.

Just when she thought the two would suddenly attack or exchange some sarcastic remarks, she heard two loud laughs, and then the two patted each other's shoulders like old friends who had met after a long separation, and walked away for a stroll...

Fifth Elder:?

…………

Another half day passed until the sun set in the west before they slowly stopped, but looking at the expressions of both of them, they seemed to be still unsatisfied.

In the end, Chi Xiao politely declined Lu Ming's invitation, saying that he would first deal with the affairs within the sect and then visit Chengfeng Sword Sect in person. Only then did the other party reluctantly let him go.

During this time, Jiang Yan and Shen Ming maintained a bowing posture from beginning to end and never raised their heads.

The two of them were muttering to themselves, and would communicate with each other from time to time.

Jiang Yan: "It's over, it's over, why did Master come? This time we have made a mess of things, it's all your fault!"

Shen Ming blinked: "How can you blame Shen Ming? Who can predict such a thing? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself, Master."

Jiang Yan: "? What does it have to do with me? If you hadn't insisted on arresting me, why would there be so many troubles now? Maybe I would have saved enough money to go home! Then I can try to bring you back with me. I don't believe that you didn't predict my character and I would definitely come back!"

Shen Ming: "Uh... well... Shen Ming just couldn't bear to leave Master~ I don't dare to take any risks, so I can only choose to give up Master's idea~"

Jiang Yan: "Speak again!"

He raised his leg under the long gown and kicked Shen Ming next to him. Shen Ming's face remained serious. His body just swayed slightly and then regained stability with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Yan: "...you're squeezing my legs..."

Shen Ming's expression remained the same, and he maintained the posture of bowing his head.

Jiang Yan: 'You @%?'

…………

While the two were fighting and joking in private, Chi Xiaowen had already finished his conversation, parted ways with Lu Ming, and then brought the fifth elder, whose injuries had mostly recovered, to come over to them.

Jiang Yan quickly sent a message to Shen Ming, who pouted and let go of him, then lowered his head solemnly and maintained the posture.

Chi Xiaowen walked past Jiang Yan with a calm expression, and at the same time, Jiang Yan and Chi Xiaowen spoke at the same time.

They were not just playing around just now, most of them were actually thinking about how to deal with this situation in the future.

Of course, there are also some fun activities to relax and have fun...

"Master, we know we were wrong! Please punish us, Master!"

Let’s talk, their bodies all bent down to 90 degrees, and their postures were not humble at all.

However, Chi Xiaowen did not stop and continued to walk forward. There was never any trace of their shadow in his eyes, nor did he stop on them for a moment.

They passed by straight away, causing a breeze to blow Jiang Yan's hair into a mess, and in the end, only their backs were left...

Jiang Yan's heart twitched violently at this moment! Inexplicably, the bad feeling from before became even stronger at this moment!

This strong sense of uneasiness made him subconsciously take a step forward.

"Master! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have escaped from the mountain gate without permission! I shouldn't have faked my death to deceive my fellow disciples and elders! I am willing to return to the mountain gate to accept the punishment!"

Chi Xiaowen's back suddenly paused.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan's heart finally eased and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Chi Xiaowen's subsequent words made him open his eyes wide and look frightened.

"From now on, you and I will end our master-disciple relationship."

"I am no longer your master, and you are no longer my disciple. There is no place for you in the Ancient Immortal Sect anymore."

"Shen Ming Yiran, because of your dereliction of duty, from now on, your status as acting head will be revoked and you will be expelled from the Ancient Immortal Sect."

"From now on, the two of you are not allowed to call yourselves disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect, nor are you allowed to set foot into the Ancient Immortal Sect. Those who violate this will be killed."

Chi Xiaowen's expression did not change from beginning to end, and his tone was unusually calm, as if he was just narrating a trivial matter.

As he raised his hand, a ray of golden light broke out of Shen Ming's storage bag and fell into his palm. It was a jade token representing his identity!

As the Ancient Immortal Sect developed, it had already developed the identity jade card to the highest level, incorporating all the scattered functions, and naturally also including the information of authenticating the headmaster.

At this moment, Chi Xiaowen gently pinched the jade token and it shattered instantly!

The bright golden light emanated from his palm, flickering and shining like a firefly in the dark night.

The fifth elder was caught off guard and stunned by this series of unexpected situations. After a moment of pause, he hurriedly moved to Chi Xiaowen's side.

"Brother! Isn't this a bit too..."

However, before she could finish her words, she met Chi Xiaowen's dark eyes that contained no emotion, and all her words stopped...

My voice unconsciously became choked...

"Brother... are you really going to be so heartless?"

Chi Xiaowen ignored him and turned his body to glance at Jiang Yan as before.

"You, let's go."

Jiang Yan's body, which had already become somewhat exhausted, could no longer support itself and he fell to his knees with a thump. He supported himself on the ground and did not dare to look up. His arms were shaking and he pursed his lips tightly.

"Master...why did it come to this..."

"Are you allowed to leave without saying goodbye, but I am not allowed to be driven out of the mountain gate?"

Chi Xiaowen turned and left. His steps were steady but his figure flashed with every step. In a moment, only a blurry figure was left.

"You must know that everything in nature has its own destiny. All beings are equal in terms of destiny, regardless of their status. Every living being is independent and belongs to itself. They play different roles in their own eyes or in the eyes of others. No one will always revolve around others, and no one will always be satisfied with everything."

"You take yourself too seriously."

"This is the last lesson."

Chi Xiaowen's figure was no longer in sight. The Fifth Elder stood there in silence with trembling lips. After a long while, he suddenly turned around and his figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye...

Jiang Yan knelt on the ground with his head pressed against the ground. The remnants of the curse that had been steadily suppressed in his body were now unrestrained and raged wildly through his body!

The hideous black lines slowly covered his entire body! But he was oblivious to it and only hummed softly.

"No...I didn't..."

"Master, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will help you to bear them together... You will definitely not expel me... There must be something forcing you, right? It must be like this!"

"Master!"

This is what Jiang Yan heard in the last moment before he fell into a coma...

………………

Shen Ming hugged Jiang Yan tightly in his arms, his eyes full of sadness.

She was not sad because she was expelled from the mountain gate, but she was heartbroken for Jiang Yan's sadness at the moment.

"Master~Don't be afraid, Shen Ming is with you..."

She comforted him softly, and at the same moment she suddenly looked up and met Lu Ming's eyes.

But the strange thing was that Lu Ming didn't seem to be surprised by what happened to her at this moment? He just watched quietly?

Shen Ming's eyes flickered and he transmitted a message.

"Our promise..."

Lu Ming was silent, then his body turned into a sword, broke through the clouds and quickly flew away.

"Is this considered... invalid?"

A smile slowly formed on Shen Ming's lips, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Jiang Yan on the forehead.

"Master~"

She picked up Jiang Yan, and a cloud of mist rose from her feet, covering them. Before she disappeared, she glanced at the lush and green Danguo that exuded a fatal temptation.

These are all Dao fruits that have not yet fully matured! They are Dao fruits that come from the fallen spirits in the Nether Dust Realm!

"What a pity~ We can't confirm whether she is dead or not~"
