My apprentice is a little weird?

Xin Lai narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his head with an expression of "understanding".

Then he secretly gave Jiang Yan a look.

The other party also understood and sent a message back.

"What's the matter? With your personality, why would a child this old still cling to you?"

"Well... it's a long story. If you want to be strict, she is actually more than a hundred years older than you and me combined."

Xin Lai's wine jug shook and almost fell to the ground, and he choked and coughed repeatedly.

'Ahem! What did you say?! Is she also an immortal?'

"No, eh... it's a long story, and it seems like a troublesome matter..."

"I understand. Don't explain. I'm too lazy to understand your circle, so don't tell me."

'...'

Xin Lai looked at Shen Ming with some emotion, which made her look puzzled.

"Master...are they whispering to each other?"

"Why did you hide it from Shen Ming?"

Shen Ming frowned slightly, crossed his lowered hands, held his wrists, and gently pinched the black hair tie on them with his fingers.

Seems like you want to untie it?

"If she sticks to you like this, then I'm going to sleep, right?"

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and quickly sent a message.

"No, no, no, I haven't had enough tonight, and we haven't seen each other for a few years, so we need to have a long chat and reminisce about the past."

"Then she..."

"Tsk, I am a cultivator after all, it would be easy for me to control a kid who hasn't practiced yet~"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan moved his feet to stand behind Shen Ming, then slowly raised his hand~

Xin Lai sat up straight and prepared to see how he would solve Shen Ming's problem. Would he cast a spell to make her unconscious~ or create an illusion to stay here with her?

When Xin Lai thought of Jiang Yan's extraordinary methods, a hint of yearning welled up in his eyes.

then…

boom! !

Jiang Yan raised his knife and slashed down with his palm! !

Shen Ming only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then his eyes went dark. He fainted decisively and quickly, without even being able to react...

Jiang Yan held the unconscious Shen Ming with one hand and grinned, then made an OK gesture to Xin Lai.

Xinlai's eyelids twitched when he saw this! He almost broke the wine bottle! He couldn't help but speak directly.

"You knocked her out straight away! You, you, you! Aren't you supernaturally powerful? Why don't you use your fucking magic?!"

"How could you have the heart to kill such a young child? And he's your own disciple?! You are such a beast!"

Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly...

He put his hand on the place where she was hit, and the free spiritual energy in the air was drawn in and flowed into her body to restore and relieve the pain.

"There's nothing I can do about it... Ming'er... is a little special. My magic power only seems to have one effect on her, while the other effects are reduced."

"I'm afraid she'll wake up and start crying and making a fuss. It would be bad if she disturbs Mrs. Hui in the middle of the night~"

Xin Lai really has nothing to say to him...

"You... you really deserve it for my niece not listening to you. You even knocked out your apprentice just to get some wine... you're really outrageous..."

"If she knew you did something like this after she woke up, tsk tsk tsk~"

Jiang Yan's face straightened.

"Well, I am very confident in my skills. I can help my daughter Ming'er sleep painlessly and make sure she will forget what happened yesterday when she wakes up."

"I have experimented with this on Zi Ran many times, and I can now do it perfectly. The force is just enough to stun the person without hurting his brain!"

Xin Lai… was completely speechless… turned around and said “I’ll wait for you on the third floor”, then went upstairs…

Jiang Yan smiled, carried Shen Ming to a quiet private room, then gently put her on the bed and tucked the quilt in so that only her little head was exposed.

"It looks much cuter this way. My Ming'er is so pretty~"

Jiang Yan said this softly, then reached out to smooth the hair on her forehead and pinched her little face.

"Ming'er, be good and sleep well~"

Then he stood up and took away Duan Haonan's magic weapon, the Shadow-Invisible Silk.

"I didn't expect that the invisibility cloak from the beginning could be refined into this level by Xiao Yuandun~ It can be said to be invincible in the same class."

Jiang Yan rubbed it, then rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Do you want to take it back~"

……

Somewhere outside the Fulai Inn, Duan Haonan was sitting cross-legged to absorb the power of the moonlight, when he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in his heart!

It was as if something important was about to leave him.

He was immediately forced out of his cultivation state!

"What is this! Am I going to be in trouble?"

He was restless and kept stretching his hands to calculate, but he couldn't figure out anything.

This made him uneasy and extremely anxious...

…………

Inside the Fulai Inn, the second floor had fallen into silence since Jiang Yan left...

Shen Ming was sleeping (unconscious) with even breathing, but his eyelids were blinking slightly and his head was shaking from time to time, and he looked like he was sleeping uneasily.

Under the quilt, the hair tie on her wrist had been untied at some point.

…………

The third floor is different from the second floor. It does not have that many rooms, but is instead a large room.

The interior layout is not as magnificent as outsiders imagine, but rather very ordinary.

There are rows of bookshelves here, displaying precious classical books from all over the world and piles of dynasty chronicles.

Each book was marked, and it seemed that someone had read them frequently.

There were more than a dozen jars of wine stacked in the corner of the room. They must have just been taken out of the wine cellar, and they still exuded a faint aroma of wine.

There is nothing special here, just an ordinary study room of a certain size.

But there is something special about it, and that is the floor-to-ceiling window in the middle that is almost as tall as two people!

The window has no window frames or screens, only a piece of transparent crystal!!

The moonlight shines through the crystal clear glass into the house and lands on the small table in front of the window. One can clearly see a few side dishes and wine plates on the table.

In this technologically backward era, being able to use such a large piece of transparent crystal as a window requires not only forward-thinking, but also incredible financial resources!

The latter accounted for ninety-nine percent.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh every time he saw it.

"You are such a glass..."

"Well, this is crystal. It's natural crystal that I spent a lot of effort to get~"

Xin Lai walked to the corner with a little pride, picked up the wine, then limped to the small table and put the wine on it.

Then extend your hand to lead.

"Please~"

Jiang Yan had a smile on his face.

"You are so fussy. You have to get it yourself even though you have a weak leg. Why would I do it myself? Why are you being so polite? You are just trying to save face."

As he said this, he sat down opposite him, uncorked the wine and poured a glass for Xin Lai.

Xin Lai picked up the wine cup, gently shook the wine in the cup, letting it rotate along the wall of the cup, and looked at Jiang Yan with a smile.

"We are different from you. Although you have been trying to change us, some ideas have already been formed and cannot be easily changed."

“Although I wanted to do it, I didn’t realize it was impossible until I tried it.”

"I can't do it, and neither can you"
