"Alright, stop crying." Dao Xuzi was finally annoyed by the crying, "If you keep crying, this robe of mine will become a rag..." He said disdainfully as he took off his outer robe and threw it to Tang Wanqian, "Making me sick enough to vomit last nightâs meal..."
Tang Wanqian didnât mind, and actually held the robe as a cloth, starting to wipe his face and nose, "I just want to take on a disciple, why is it so difficult?"
Yang Ruxin twitched the corner of her mouth but managed to hold back her laughter.
"Itâs really hard to take on a disciple like yours, considering all those messy affairs of the Tang Sect, how dangerous and troublesome it is? You want Xinxin as your disciple, wouldnât she have to follow the trouble?" Dao Xuzi tapped the back of his left hand with the palm of his right hand, "Donât talk about âskills never being a burdenâ; this girl may lack inner strength, but she is inherently capable. Along with my medical skills, she could dominate the Wulin... Otherwise, could you have emerged victoriously?" The Blood-drinking Sword was retrieved from Wanren Villa, and that indeed relied on true skills, "Moreover, your Tang Sect is a chaotic mess. If Xinxin acknowledges you, sheâd have to clean up after you..." Tang Kun is your disciple, becoming the bane of the Tang Sect is because you, the Sect Leader, could not recognize people well, isnât that trouble you brought onto yourself?
"What exactly do you mean?" Tang Wanqian glared, "Donât you want to go to Shushan and have a look? Iâve wanted to go there all my life."
"Shushan..." Dao Xuziâs eyes instantly brightened.
"Yes, Shushan." Tang Wanqian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Back in the day, you almost died there, you know, so technically, Iâm your lifesaver..."
"Enough, my disciple saved you too, letâs not talk about things that are useless." Dao Xuzi waved his hand and then looked at Yang Ruxin, "Why donât you also acknowledge him as a master?"
Yang Ruxin frowned, whatâs the old man implying? Isnât this change in attitude a bit too unprincipled? Shushan? Could it be the Shushan she thought of?
Dao Xuzi smiled brightly, "So have you reached a consensus?"
"Heihei, isnât Master thinking of getting you a bit more benefits?" Dao Xuzi chuckled, "For the sake of Shushan, just agree, anyway, you can learn his little skills with a bit of spare time..."
"Is it really for my benefit?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "But I donât feel itâs to my advantage, it seems more like something youâre interested in..."
"Oh dear, dear disciple, itâs all the same," Dao Xuzi pleaded.
"Then first tell me whatâs with Shushan?" Yang Ruxin curled her lips, wondering if it was the Shushan she had heard about on TV, where Nuwa resided, though later it was said that Shushan is Emei Mountain?, but Emei Mountain has only monkeys, why would an old man have an interest in monkeys?
"Shushan..." Dao Xuzi exchanged a look with Tang Wanqian, a hint of excitement in his tone, "Xinxin, I told you about Xiaolunâs background before, right?"
Yang Ruxin blinked her eyes, then nodded, "You said it was the egg of a serpent left by Nuwa in the human world, hatched after tens of thousands of years, then every hundred years it undergoes metamorphosis. When I encountered Xiaolun, he had just undergone metamorphosis not long ago... But you said he is a hermaphrodite, yet now he has found a partner and had children..." Gu Qingheng said a little golden snake was born, no one knows how it mutated.
