Chapter 884: Chase Him Out of the Sect
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The person lying on the bed was Xie Qiao’s junior brother after all. No matter what, she had to be careful.
She brought her bamboo basket over.
There were two large bamboo baskets with many things inside.
Xie Qiao took out seven lamps from inside. These lamps were relatively small and were not quite the same as the one she used earlier.
In addition, Xie Qiao took out scissors, mirrors, scales, and a ruler one after another. Then, she said, “Send someone to get rice. We also need more rice.”
Zhao Xuanjing immediately asked Zhou Weizong to do it. “Go out and buy some rice. We’re new here, so we can’t trouble the Meng family.”
Zhou Weizong immediately responded.
“There’s a child in the Meng family who has great talent. He seems to want me to take him as a disciple. He also said that if I don’t like him, I can check out the other children of the Meng family. I’ve been here for so long, and they’ve been taking care of me. It’s not good for me to refuse. When your junior brother’s health is better, I’ll go and see how talented these children are,” Li Shiyan said.
He had his principles when accepting disciples.
Talent, appearance, and character had to be satisfactory.
In fact, he had enough disciples. There were six of them, and he did not want to accept any more.
However, the Meng family had been tending to Sang You when he was sick. It would be too cruel if he did not even want to give pointers to their children.
“Teacher, you are getting old. If you think that their talent is not bad, you can get Eldest Senior Brother to take them in,” Zhao Xuanjing said when he saw the tired look on the old man’s face.
“Yes, Teacher. I have also started to take in disciples. Now... I have two disciples. Their talent...” Xiao Yurong thought of Xie Pinghuai and could not say anything about his talent, he had to bite the bullet and said, “One of them is quite smart, and the other one... is quite special. When they make you their grandmaster, they will be officially accepted into the sect.”
“Let’s talk about it later.” Li Shiyan was more picky.
Disciples or grand-disciples, whether they were good or not, he had to check them out first.
He will not accept a random grand-disciple.
There were too many things that a scholar had to decide. If his disciples took in an ambitious and unruly person, it would ruin the reputation of all his disciples and grand-disciples. He had to take it seriously.
Xiao Yurong was now as obedient as a rabbit. He looked especially cowardly.
After saying that, he saw that his teacher did not look kind, so he was even more afraid.
He would not be... kicked out of the sect because of Xie Pinghuai, right?
“Chusheng...” the old master called.
Xie Qiao felt strange. In the past, her teacher often called her “girl” or “Xiao Qiao”…
It was her name Mo Chusheng that sounded odd!
If his teacher’s voice was a little cold and rough, it would sound like he was calling her an animal and scolding her.
Li Shiyan also felt it. After thinking for a moment, he took back the name he had just called out. “Girl, how is Taoist Master Mo Now?”
“S-Senior Brother is great. The Water Moon Temple’s incense offerings are also not bad. His days are much more relaxed than before,” Xie Qiao immediately said.
“That’s good. He’s unreasonable, but he’s a good person. I haven’t seen him for a long time. I really want to talk to him again.” Li Shiyan missed the days when he lived in the Water Moon Temple very much.
At that time, this girl... was very young, like a small carrot.
Sometimes, she was reading with him, but she did not make any sound. When he looked again, she had fainted. There was no color on her face at all.
There were a few times when her breathing was weak, as if she was about to die. Mo Lingzi’s heart ached so much, and he even advised that she should stop reading. It was too tiring for her!
However, after the girl woke up, she continued to read with a serious expression.. No one could stop her.
