Four Lifetimes Dream

"Elder Xi, if you don't use this herb anymore, it will rot in the ground. Just think of it as a little alms to me. Don't be so stingy!" Li Sheng felt a little embarrassed when he was caught.

But what she said was true. It would be a waste to keep so many herbs. It would be better to give some to her. She could save people at the critical moment.

"I am stingy? My dear Lord, you should speak with conscience! Your beloved disciple has been with me for seven years, and I have spent a lot of energy on him. Now you actually say that I am stingy. Isn't this a poke at my heart?"

Xi Xiao covered his heart and spoke with regret.

This heartless girl, he helped her so much, but she still called her stingy, it's so sad!

"...Elder Xi, in fact, if you are willing, he can also be your precious disciple." Li Sheng was speechless for a while after being left heartbroken by his look of grief, and then he spoke slowly.

She and Luo Ci Yan didn't even have a formal apprenticeship ceremony, so they couldn't be considered master and disciple.

When she sent a letter to Xi Xiao asking for his help in rescuing Luo Ci Yan, she had already said that if he did not mind, he could accept Luo Ci Yan as his apprentice. After all, the recovered Luo Ci Yan was a rare genius who absolutely met his requirements.

"Forget it. I'm not kidding you anymore. It's been seven years. When do you plan to return to Lingyue Peak?"

When talking about this, Xi Xiao felt a bit of a headache. He didn't know how those people from Lingyue Peak knew that this girl was with him, and now they were clamoring to see her!

"... Let's talk about it when I'm free!" Li Sheng was stunned for a moment. She had been staying in Yunyuan Island for the past few years. Even if she came out, she had no time to return to Lingyue Peak. She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it had been seven years since she last went back.

She has been really busy these years, and originally planned to go back after she was done with her work, but she never expected to come across the case of the missing girl in the capital, so she had to give up.

"Young Master, Lingyue Peak has never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court. Now the case of the missing girl has obviously involved the imperial court. I hope you will act with caution!" Xi Xiao reminded.

The case in the capital has now alarmed the entire court. It is not a good thing for her to be involved in it at this time.

"Elder Xi, don't worry. I know what I am doing!" It is because Lingyue Peak does not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, so this time, she used the identity of 'Qi Ran' to investigate the case. In this way, no one will know that people from Lingyue Peak are involved in this case.

Moreover, she was not interested in the affairs of the court. The current situation was no longer just about the affairs of the court. It was about whether every family of the people could live a happy and healthy life.

Every time a woman goes missing, a family becomes depressed and a pair of parents become heartbroken, so she cannot turn a blind eye to these things, let alone leave them alone!

If we rely on the imperial court for everything, how many more innocent women will have to die before this case is truly over?

"It's good that my young master is aware of this. You are still injured. After collecting herbs, go to rest early and don't mess around!" Xi Xiao warned before leaving.

If the people at Lingyue Peak knew that this little ancestor was injured, then his Jueyuan Valley would be in a state of chaos.

Before he left, Li Sheng quickly replied "OK". In fact, Xi Xiao was a very good person, just with some quirks in his personality.

Because of Li Sheng's arrival, Xi Xiao arranged a quieter place for her to live. On her way back, she ran into Luo Ci Yan who was looking for her.

"Something happened to your sister again?" This was the only possibility that came to her mind when she saw Luo Ci Yan.

"No!" Luo Ci Yan answered hurriedly when he saw her about to walk towards Luo Shuanghan's room.

"Then what are you doing... Hey!" Li Sheng just wanted to ask him what he wanted to see her for, but he knelt down to her knees with a bang.

"I'm not dead yet, what are you doing?" Li Sheng was caught off guard by his action. Why did this guy like to kneel down to her at every turn?

After all, he is a villain, can't he have some backbone? I am really afraid that one day I will be struck by lightning because of him.

"Master, it's Aci who is useless. I have put you in trouble time and time again because of me. It is Aci who is sorry to you, Master!"

If it wasn't for saving him, she wouldn't have been unable to touch a sword for the rest of her life, and she wouldn't have nearly died! It was because of him that Master suffered so much!

"I thought it was a big deal, but it's just a trivial matter. Is it worth making such a fuss about it?" Li Sheng squatted in front of him, feeling a little amused.

Just because of this, he gave her such a big gift?

"I saved you not to gain something from you, nor to make you kneel down before me so submissively. I just want you to understand that not everyone in this world is a bad person, and not everyone is a good person. I hope that you can distinguish right from wrong in the future, and don't forget what your original self was like!"

In this world, there are countless people who lose themselves along the way, fail to distinguish right from wrong, and just go with the crowd. She doesn't want him to become that kind of person.

The most precious thing in a person's life is to reach the end, look back, and still see your original appearance, and be able to say to him with a clear conscience, "You are good."

"Master, don't worry. Aci will do it!" Luo Ci Yan replied very seriously, as if it was a promise to her, but also like a warning to himself.

After getting his answer, Li Sheng stood up:

"Get up, this is all my fate, so you are not to blame. Protecting you is my decision alone, and it has nothing to do with you!"

The purpose of her coming into this world was to protect him. Even if in the end, he would hurt her for another woman, she could not blame anyone.

"Master... why do you want to protect me?" From childhood to adulthood, except for his parents, no one has ever protected him so desperately.

He also knew that in this world, there was no hatred without reason, nor was there love without reason. He had never met his master before, so why was she so good to him?

"Of course it's because..." Li Sheng paused, leaned over, hooked his chin with his index finger, looked at him carefully for a while, and then said,

"You're good-looking!"

Luo Ci Yan really deserves to be ranked first in appearance. He is truly a handsome man who can charm thousands of girls!

I don't know why Su Yuan in the novel would give up such a handsome man and insist on sticking to Huan Qian, that crooked tree. The original owner did the same thing. What kind of vision do they have!

"Master..." Luo Ci Yan felt embarrassed when he saw Li Sheng was looking at him distractedly, so he called her.

When Li Sheng heard his voice, she immediately pulled herself back to her thoughts and calmly took her hand away from his chin:

"…I'm just kidding. I just want to find someone to take care of me in my old age, and you seem to be a good match!" Just thinking about finding someone good-looking to take care of me in my old age makes me feel great!

"Ah?" Luo Ci Yan was a little overwhelmed. His master was so young, but he was already thinking about retirement?

"If you really feel sorry for me, remember to be more filial to me in the future. Although there is no apprenticeship ceremony, you should at least call me Master. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Even if I am a girl, as long as you need me, I can be both your father and your mother at any time!"

She can play any role for him as long as he wants!

Luo Ci Yan: “…” Master wants to be both his father and mother?

Luo Ciyan felt a bit confused at this moment. Could it be that his master was seriously injured and there was something wrong with his brain? !

Hu Hu: “…” The host’s plan is quite good, but why does she have such an idea?

Couldn't she have other ideas besides being his parents? If this continued, when would the main quest be completed?

"Alright, get up quickly and don't kneel down all the time in the future, as if I'm bullying you!"

She doesn't have the habit of bullying children. He kneels down at every turn, which can easily be misunderstood as her bullying a child!

After Luo Ci Yan got up obediently, Li Sheng returned to his room and rested for nearly three hours. Before dawn, he rushed back to Su City.
