My apprentice is a little weird?

Shen Ming nodded blankly, then stood up.

Then Jiang Yan hugged Shen Ming and picked her up, supported her buttocks with his arms, let her sit in his arms, and then walked towards Chi Xiaowen.

Shen Ming naturally hooked her arms around Jiang Yan's neck, then tilted her head and leaned against his shoulder, muttering.

"Master, who are you meeting here in the middle of the night? Shen Ming is so scared... I'm afraid that Master doesn't want Shen Ming anymore..."

Jiang Yan gently stroked Shen Ming's hair and said softly:

"No, Master will not abandon Shen Ming. I am here just to meet the people in the Immortal Sect. Those are the masters and sisters in the Ancient Immortal Sect, and they will also be your future masters and uncles. That is the old man."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed his chin towards the distance.

At this moment, Chi Xiaowen was using his magic power to condense a water mirror in the air, and was carefully combing his slightly messy hair in front of the water mirror.

The ruler in his hand disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a bamboo whisk.

He gently swung it in his arms, looking like an immortal.

Jiang Yan's mouth twitched. What a different treatment...

At this point, Jiang Yan hugged Shen Ming tighter. He must not let go at this time! If he let go, he would be grabbed and beaten by his master again!

Judging from his understanding of his master, that was for sure! So he had to use the emperor to control the princes!

Shen Ming's originally uncomfortable mood was somewhat dissipated by Jiang Yan's hug. Although some of it still remained, she still snuggled in his arms affectionately.

"Ahem! Ming'er, that old man is your master's master."

"He's a bit stubborn. Ming'er, don't call me Master. Call me Master. When you get up there, don't say anything. Say hello to him first. Remember, make use of your advantage as a child! If he wants to hug you..."

Shen Ming looked up reluctantly, her eyes rolling, remembering the impression of her master that Jiang Yan had described to her before, and couldn't help but curl her lips, with a sly light flashing in her eyes, "Let him hold me~"

"Don't let him hold you! If he takes you away, I'll teach you a lesson! Teaching others a lesson while educating them is his specialty!"

"So you must stand on the same front with me!"

"Okay, I will hold on to Master tightly and won't let go no matter what happens!"

Jiang Yan felt relieved. This disciple was not raised in vain. He could still be used to take the blame at the critical moment.

As they were talking, the two of them slowly walked in front of Chi Xiaowen.

"Master...Hello, Master~"

Shen Ming was indeed obedient. As soon as they met, he addressed Chi Xiaowen as "Master" in a soft and sweet voice. His expression was timid and he seemed a little scared. He also hugged Jiang Yan's neck tightly with both hands, showing that he was very shy.

Chi Xiaowen's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Ming for the first time!

Hearing that somewhat timid and childish voice, he nodded happily.

Jiang Yan also had a smile in his eyes, and felt that he had passed this level, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he heard Chi Xiaowen ask with a smile again.

"Baby is so cute, what's your name? How old are you this year~"

Shen Ming spoke timidly, "Age... I don't know, name... my master gave me one before."

Chi Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Yan also turned pale instantly, feeling something was wrong. He quickly tried to cover her mouth, but Shen Ming had already spoken: "Call me Li Goudan."

"Oops!"

“Li…Li…Li…traitor!!”

Chi Xiaowen's beard fluttered in the wind, he picked up his whisk and chased Jiang Yan to beat him!

Jiang Yan had already started running with Shen Ming in his arms, and while running he turned back hurriedly to explain!

"No, Master! Her name is Shen Ming! What a nice name! Not Li Goudan!"

"So, were you planning to take this name?"

"Ah, this... is a bit like that~"

"Traitor! How dare you give such a smart kid this name!"

"I didn't take it!"

Jiang Yan held Shen Ming and ran in front, Chi Xiaowen chased after him. Shen Ming had a smile on his face, put his arms around Jiang Yan's neck, snuggled in his arms and squinted his eyes.

"Who told Master to go with someone else behind Shen Ming's back today~"

Of course, Chi Xiaowen didn’t really do anything to Jiang Yan in the end.

After all, he was holding Shen Ming from beginning to end.

Jiang Yan smiled crookedly: Humph, how to hit? It doesn't matter if you hit me, but if you hit his cute little disciple, it would be a sin~

So, at the end of the chase, Chi Xiaowen slowly stopped, panting lightly (pretending)

"Good boy, your cultivation has improved in the past three years. Even your master can't catch up with you."

Jiang Yan grinned.

"Stop hitting me, Master. Take a break. Your divine consciousness is almost exhausted. Stop wasting your energy."

Chi Xiaowen coughed twice, then straightened his clothes and stood up straight.

"Humph, after all these years away, you've finally done something useful and found a good disciple."

He only took a glance and saw through Shen Ming. His talent was even better than Jiang Yan's at the beginning! The whole person exuded a special aura.

People at his level would feel a natural sense of closeness to her at first sight.

With such talent, how could he not be happy? So he couldn't suppress the curled corners of his mouth.

"My dear disciple, come here and let the master hug you~"

As he was about to step forward, Jiang Yan stepped back! Shen Ming also cooperated and shrank into Jiang Yan's arms, looking a little scared.

"Hey~ Master, little Shen Ming is shy now. This is the first time he meets you and he is not familiar with you yet, so don't hug him for now. It won't be too late after we return to the Ancient Immortal Sect."

Jiang Yan said this with narrowed eyes and looked at Chi Xiaowen.

"Boy, you are quite clever~"

"Hehe, it's mutual. If I give Ming'er to you, you'll be angry and hit me. As her master, how can I still save my dignity if I get hit in front of her?"

"Face? Do you have that?"

"Hey~ Master, this is too much. I am just shameless, not disrespectful~"

The two of them communicated secretly through voice transmission, and then both chuckled.

Chi Xiaowen stroked his beard and looked at Shen Ming kindly:

"What a pity, Master, I am just a divine thought, not my real body, so I cannot bring a gift to my little disciple~"

Then his expression changed, and he said coldly to Jiang Yan: "Humph! Traitor!"

Jiang Yan had no choice but to smile along.

"Have you had enough fun outside? When are you going to come back? Don't let my little disciple suffer with you."

"Right away, right away~ Aren't we just going to meet the mother bear and then go back directly~"

Chi Xiaowen nodded slightly, then flicked his whisk, and his whole body began to gradually become weak.

"Take good care of my granddaughter, don't let her get wronged, otherwise~ hehe!"

"Of course, of course! I definitely will! Master, take care~"

"Hmm~"

Jiang Yan looked reluctant, but his eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at Chi Xiaowen who was gradually fading away.
