Demon Lord became my apprentice

The next day, Murong Li came to Cong Rong's house, bringing a richer gift than before, saying it was for Cong Yi's celebration.These years, Murong Li used the banner of coming to see Cong Yi, and gave them good things a lot.Cong Rong didn't want to owe her favors, and would refuse at first, but after a long time, Cong Rong didn't want to be entangled endlessly in these meaningless trivial matters, so she let her go.

Apart from talking too much, Murong Li has almost no other obvious and annoying shortcomings.When I was young, I was willing to play dice with Cong Yi, and I got a lot of money from being poked by Cong Yi secretly.Cong Yi gets along well with her just because of sending money to her door.

Even though Murong Li is the noble eldest lady of Misty Pavilion, she can't hang out as she pleases.In the winter in the north, night fell early, Murong Li insisted on lingering until after dinner, and the personal maid Shao Xia reminded her again and again before she slowly got up.

"Brother Rong, Cong Yi," Murong Li was reluctant to leave, "I will come to see you some other day."

Cong Rong also got up and said calmly, "I'll take you out."

Cong Yi didn't say anything, quietly followed the master, and sent Murong Li away together.

When he got to the door, Murong Li reluctantly turned his head back again and again, as if he was standing still, and he didn't walk a few meters for a long while.

Just when Murong Li was about to walk away, Cong Rong suddenly spoke in a low and cold voice, "He, is he all right?"

he?

Murong Li was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that what Cong Rong said about him was Sect Master Cong.

Since more than ten years ago, Murong Li mentioned the joint office in front of Cong Rong, which offended Cong Rong. Since then, she has never mentioned any news about the Xianmen family in front of Cong Rong.

"Forget it." The moment Murong Li was stunned, Cong Rong changed his mind, "You go."

Murong Li came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Some time ago, when I was practicing, I was too hasty, which brought out my old illness. Now, after a few days, I'm much better."

For the first time in more than ten years, Cong Rong took the initiative to ask Sect Master Cong, and Murong Li seemed a little excited at the moment, she knew that her brother Rong was not really heartless, he just didn't know how to face those things.

"It's getting late, hurry up and go back." Cong Rong said expressionlessly, as if he wasn't the one who asked the question just now.

After finishing speaking, Cong Rong turned around and went back to her small courtyard.Cong Yi silently glanced at Murong Li, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He wanted to investigate, but he didn't know where to start.

Murong Li was not shocked by Cong Rong's indifference, and said goodbye to Cong enthusiastically.

Years later, Cong Yi and his entourage set foot on the road to Beijing to rush for the exam.Beidufu is not far from Daxing City, it can be reached in about ten days by horse-drawn carriage.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, Cong Rong was taking care of the fairy grass alone in the courtyard, when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Cong Rong put down the jade bottle containing mountain spring water, got up and went to open the door.

Outside the door, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and black robes stood with his hands behind his back. His brows were somewhat similar to Cong Rong. I don't know if it was because he hadn't seen him for a long time, or because of Cong Rong's illusion. The man in front of him seemed to be a lot haggard .

The visitor was so unexpected that Cong Rong froze in place for a moment.

"Seventeen years have passed," the middle-aged man said with a sense of loss, "It has been 17 years since you left Shuofangzong in a fit of anger."

Yes, 17 years have passed, no matter how much resentment there was back then, looking back now, everything seems to have happened in the previous life.

Cong Rong didn't want to talk to him, so he said coldly, "I don't know why Sect Master Cong is here?"

Sect Master Cong did not directly clarify the purpose of coming here, but continued to stay on the topic just now, "Maybe it is because I am getting older, and there are no close people around me, and when I think back to the past, the trivial things that were too troublesome back then It has also gradually become something that people can't forget. In the past few years, I often imagined that if I had been patient and dealt with the relationship between your mother and Rui'er's mother, would they not have come to the point where you could die."

Cong Rong didn't want to hear his high-sounding confession, so he said in a choked voice, "People cannot be resurrected after death, so what's the use of talking about it now?"

Sect Master Cong smiled wryly, probably because of his emotional ups and downs, Sect Master Cong coughed in a low voice.

Is his injury still not healed?

Cong Rong remained silent.

Sect Master Cong covered his mouth and nose with a brocade handkerchief, coughed for a while, and then gradually stopped, "I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness, but to see how you are doing."

Hearing that, Cong Rong really wanted to question him, he had been away for 17 years, and now it was too late to see if he was doing well.Thinking about the way he was coughing just now, Cong Rong controlled herself and didn't say a word.

Sect Master Cong calmed down, and said in a sense of loss: "Back then, both of you and I were young and vigorous, and neither of us would bow to each other. What happened after that was fate, and no one expected it... The death of your eldest brother hit me hard. Now, you have passed the age of [-], and I have reached the age of knowing my destiny. The hostility and impulsiveness in my body have gradually been smoothed by time. Especially in the past few years, my body The situation is getting worse and worse, and the old disease relapses frequently, although it has been kept hidden from the outside world, it still failed to hide it after all."

Decades ago, the Yingzhou Cong family who was good at forging, to be precise, should be the Yang family in Yingzhou was targeted by the demons. In one night, the whole family was destroyed. Sect Master Cong had a fate, and was rescued by the old Sect Master Cong who came in time He fell down, but because of serious injuries, he fell to the root of his illness.

For some reason, Cong Rong felt inexplicably agitated when he heard this, especially when he mentioned his elder brother.His father and his mother seem to have great difficulties, and everyone bears a tragic fate, but these have become an excuse for them to hurt others invisibly.

Cong Rong said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

In the past, if Sect Master Cong heard Cong Rong talk to him like this, he would definitely do something.But this time, he just lowered the corners of his eyes silently, and murmured: "People can only truly appreciate the value of family affection when they become weak. I know that when I say this, you will definitely think that I am hypocritical, or even Selfish, but no one wants to be lonely when they should be enjoying family happiness."

Sect Master Cong looked at Cong Rong sadly, and pleaded in his slightly trembling voice: "A Rong, come back, even if it's because I'm your own father, give me a chance to make up for you."

Cong Rong refused in a cold voice: "I'm doing well, and if you don't bother me, it's the best way to make up for me."

Sect Master Cong was silent for a moment, then said disappointedly: "I can understand that you don't want to go back to Shuo Fangzong. I have reserved a place for you in the Joint Office. I hope you can think about it again."

Not waiting for Cong Rong to refuse again, Sect Master Cong added: "Your little apprentice is going to be fifteen this year, I heard that he passed the Xie Yuan exam in one fell swoop. He is talented and intelligent, which is very similar to you." While speaking, Sect Master Cong Looking around at the fairy grass in the courtyard, he continued: "Most fairy grass has the effect of washing the marrow, so he must have a lot of talent in cultivation. Humans have long been fascinated by the matter of cultivating immortals, and I think he is no exception. .As a competent master, I think you should not let him waste your talent in vain, or watch him walk ahead of you in a hundred years."

If Sect Master Cong can find him here, then it is not surprising that he knows Cong Yi's existence.However, Sect Master Cong didn't know that the more he wanted to use Cong Yi to persuade Cong Rong, the less likely Cong Rong would agree to return to the Immortal Sect.

Sure enough, Cong Rong didn't waver at all, and said in a blunt tone: "You don't need to worry about this matter, his life is bad, and he can only admit defeat when he meets an incompetent master like me."

However, based on what Sect Master Cong knew about Cong Rong, he did not believe that what Cong Rong said was what he thought in his heart.Before turning around to leave, Sect Master Cong patted Cong Rong on the shoulder, and said confidently: "At my age, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I hope you can understand my hard work. A Rong , Dad is waiting for you to come back at the Joint Office."
