Master is unreliable

Duan Li's eyes gradually cleared up, he sat up, his voice was hoarse after waking up: "Why did you go for so long this time?"

As he got up, part of the cherry blossom petals scattered on his body fell into the lake.The fish in the lake seemed to smell something, jumped out of the water first, and ate the petals.

Chu Lan said: "The task this time is to escort the merchant ship. The distance is a bit far, so it will take a long time."

Duan Li glanced lazily at the fish jumping up in the lake, raised his head and asked Chu Lan, "Is the trip going well? Are you injured?"

Chu Lan shook her head and said, "Master, this disciple was never injured."

Duan Li hummed, "It's good that you're not injured." He didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Lan started contacting the tasks released by Tianzhaomen half a year ago, and Duan Li would secretly follow them the first few times, but she was relieved when she saw that Chu Lan could handle them well.

For this task, Duan Li didn't show up throughout the whole process. Although Chu Lan felt a little disappointed, she didn't want Master to work too hard.

He tidied up his mood, took the food box and said, "Master, this time I went to Huadu Town and brought you something back."

Duan Li became interested. Every time his apprentice went on a mission, he would bring him something when he came back.Sometimes it's for playing, sometimes it's for eating, all of which are things he has never seen before, but they all suit his wishes.

Duan Li said: "Oh? What is it?"

Chu Lan opened the lid of the food box, and saw a small light green porcelain bowl in the box.

There are pure white bean curds in the porcelain bowl. The bean curds are sprinkled with fresh fruits and crystal red beans, and sprinkled with honey, which looks very attractive.

Chu Lan rushed back with Yujian all the way, without much delay, so the ice cubes in the box did not melt much.

At this time, a curl of cold air rises from the bottom of the box, wrapping the small light green porcelain bowl in it, making people more appetizing.

"It's iced bean curd." Chu Lan smiled and handed the spoon and the porcelain bowl to Duan Li, "I've never eaten this kind of bean curd before, but I tasted it, and it tastes good, so I brought two servings for Master."

Duan Li took a sip and nodded with satisfaction: "It's delicious."

The smile on Chu Lan's face became brighter, and he said, "As long as Master likes it." Then he opened the food box on the next level, took out the bowl of crab yellow bean curd, and put it in front of Duan Li.

The food boxes in that store are very particular, with ice cubes on the top layer and special materials on the bottom to insulate the coldness of the ice cubes, so this bowl of crab roe tofu is still hot.

Duan Li said: "You eat too."

Chu Lan shook her head: "I have eaten, these are filial to Master."

Duan Li said: "Should I have dinner after eating these?"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the lake again, "I saw just now, the fish in this lake are very fat, let's catch a few and bring them back later, I want to eat braised fish tail, you can do it."

He sighed again: "I really can't compliment Qingxiufeng's chef's skills. In the few days you're not here, I'm going to starve to death as a teacher."

Ever since Duan Li tasted Chu Lan's cooking five years ago, he seldom wants to eat meals cooked by Chef Qingxiufeng.Often he would rather be hungry than go to the dining hall to eat.

This is what Chu Lan discovered later.After finding out, he simply became Duan Li's personal chef. Besides his daily practice, he also provided Duan Li with three meals a day.

Of course, his behavior also caused dissatisfaction among some people.

One day, Wei Ping and Lei Kai came to Qingxiu Peak on business, and somehow ran into him busy in the kitchen.

Wei Ping immediately became angry, and despite Qi He's nice words, Wei Ping still scolded Chu Lan bloody.

Chu Lan honestly admitted her mistake, and when Wei Ping left, she turned around and went back to the kitchen.It is very "unchanging".

Chu Lan's behavior won the unanimous admiration of Qingxiu Peak's disciples.They all praised him for being brave enough.

In the past five years, Chu Lan's craftsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds. If he wanted to, he might be able to work as a cook in the palace.

Naturally, as his skills improved by leaps and bounds, Duan Li's mouth became more and more tricky.

After hearing Duan Li's words, Chu Lan said, "Okay, I'll do it when I get back. I'll catch a few fish first." He was about to do it, but Duan Li stopped him.

Duan Li picked up the bowl of crab yolk bean curd and handed it to him.

Chu Lan said with a smile: "Master, this bean curd is not big, you just treat it as a snack before meals, don't hold it..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Li picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of bean curd to his lips.

The warm spoon touched her lips, Chu Lan subconsciously stepped back, and the spoon quickly chased after her.

Duan Li said: "Ah, open your mouth."

The two stalemate for a while, and finally Chu Lan lost the battle. He opened his lips and slid a spoonful of tofu curd full of crab roe fragrance into his throat, warming it all the way to his stomach.

Duan Li said: "How does it taste?"

It was the first time Chu Lan was fed by someone since he could remember, and that person was his master. He coughed a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's...very delicious."

After finishing speaking, Duan Li scooped up a spoonful of bean curd with the spoon in his hand and brought it to his lips.

that spoon...

Chu Lan called out to Master, and wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He watched Duan Li put the spoon into his mouth.

Chu Lan's face flushed instantly, he had already used that spoon.

Duan Li obviously didn't care about this, he nodded, and said, "This tastes good too." As he spoke, he took another spoonful, and Chu Lan hurriedly snatched the bowl from his hand.

Duan Li held the spoon and tilted his head in doubt, as if asking him what he was doing.

With a red face on her face, Chu Lan said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Master, it's my disciple who didn't think carefully. I'm afraid your stomach won't be able to stand the alternation of hot and cold. Give me this bowl, and I'll give it to you next time." Do."

Duan Li smiled and said, "Okay." He put the spoon back into the bowl, then stretched out his hand to grab the Jiyuan sword that Chu Lan had placed in the stern of the boat.

Chu Lan was eating bean curd with her head down, when she suddenly saw a flash of light beside her, and when she looked up, she saw Duan Li pulling out the Jiyuan sword.

Before he could ask Master what he was going to do, he saw Duan Li inserting the Jiyuan Sword into the lake holding the hilt.

The lake trembled, and after a while, all the fish in the lake floated on the water with their white bellies turned over.

These fish obviously couldn't bear the lightning strike and passed out.

Looking at the "magnificent" scene on the lake, Chu Lan twitched the corners of her mouth.

If Bi Lingxian Jun knew what his master had done with the artifact he gave him, his expression would be very exciting.

Duan Li picked up a few fat fish, threw them on the boat, then threw the lake water off the Jiyuan Sword, and put the sword back into its sheath.

After Chu Lan finished eating the bean curd, she put away the bowls and spoons, then got up and took the oars on the canoe and started paddling.

The two went ashore quickly, and Chu Lan followed Duan Li with the fat fishes. When he left, he turned around and saw that some of the fish had regained consciousness and sank to the bottom of the water. Only then did I feel relieved.

After returning, Chu Lan made braised fish tail.

In addition, among the few fish that Duan Li picked up, there was a mandarin fish, so he made another squirrel mandarin fish, fried two side dishes, and made millet porridge.

Duan Li ate a full meal and was very satisfied.Seeing that he was satisfied, Chu Lan was naturally very happy.

After eating, Chu Lan went into the firewood room to wash the dishes, and when she bent down to fetch water, something slipped out of her neck.

It was the jade pendant that Liu Chengqi gave him when he was dying.Chu Lan paused for a while before continuing.

After he packed his things and washed his hands, he held the jade pendant and stuffed it back into his clothes.

When he stepped out of the woodshed, he saw Duan Li still sitting at the small stone table in front of the woodshed. Chu Lan walked over and called out to Master.

Duan Li hummed, got up and said, "Go back."

Chu Lan nodded: "Okay."

After handing in the task, Chu Lan had two days off. He wanted to stay on the mountain to practice, but his master obviously didn't think so.

"You must know how to combine work and rest. If you practice hard all your life, then what's the meaning of life? You should really listen to those brothers... No, they are not your brothers. In short, they are right, you should relax, don't The only thing that is full of heart and eyes is cultivation."

Chu Lan thought, he was really relaxed enough.

Even if there are no missions, there will always be a few days in a month to go down the mountain with Master.In the entire Tianzhaomen, there is probably no disciple who is as relaxed as he is.

But Duan Li obviously didn't want to hear his excuses, so he dragged the people and ran down the mountain, "I heard that there is a lantern festival in a nearby town these few days, it's very lively, apprentice, let's go and have a look."

Chu Lan sometimes felt that it was really not easy for him not to become a stubborn poor student all these years.

It's just that the two of them had just arrived at the edge of the peak, and before they had time to go down, they were invited over by the disciples sent by Qi He.

The disciple leading the way quickly stopped in front of a room: "Master is inside, you go in."

Chu Lan thanked her and went in with Duan Li.

Chu Lan has been to this room before, and this is where Qi He works. As soon as he stepped in, besides Qi He, Lei Kai was also present.

In addition, there was a person standing in the room, that person was wearing the clothes of a disciple of Tianzhaomen.Hearing the movement, the man turned around, and it was Wei Ran.

Chu Lan was a little surprised, but then thought, five years have passed, Wei Ran's punishment is over, and it's normal to come out.

Duan Li brought Chu Lan into the house as if he didn't see Wei Ran.

Qi He smiled and said, "Qi'er is here." Then he cast his eyes on Chu Lan.

Chu Lan took the initiative and said: "Master, I was with Master just now, and I heard that you want to see Master, so I followed along." She glanced at Lei Kai, "If it's inconvenient, Lan'er will take my leave first."

Qi He said with a smile: "There is no inconvenience, you can stay here."

Chu Lan nodded and stood quietly aside.

Qi He looked at Duan Li and said with a smile: "Qi'er, that's right, my teacher called you here today because I have something to do for you."

He put it succinctly. It turned out that a wounded demon broke into a small town and took several hostages.

Qi He said: "Nowadays the demon race is raging, and the disciples in the sect have many tasks, and there is really no spare manpower. I want you to come here as a teacher."

Duan Li raised his eyebrows: "Leave it to me?"
