Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 687 Conversation
Hu Yi never expected that Lin Beichen would actually agree to take her as his apprentice.
Happiness came too suddenly and she was not mentally prepared at all, so she ran to Lin Beichen and hugged him.
This sudden hug made Lin Beichen feel a little uncomfortable. Although he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, since it was a prompt from the system, he was helpless.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Although I have agreed to take you in as my apprentice, you still have a long way to go. You still have to figure out many things on your own."
Hu Yi couldn't control her joy and kept hugging Lin Beichen, with no intention of letting go.
Lin Beichen said embarrassedly: "You may be happy, but can you put your hands down? You are strangling me like this and it is difficult for me to breathe. Are you trying to murder me?"
Hu Yi finally reacted, and at this time Zhou Yi also rushed in. Seeing Hu Yi, he was extremely surprised.
"Why did you come in again? Didn't I tell you that he would not accept you as his apprentice? Why are you so stubborn? Do you want to leave on your own this time, or do you want me to chase you away?"
Zhou Yi was a little unhappy to see that his words were ignored. He gestured to Lin Beichen what to do, but Lin Beichen did not speak.
Zhou Yi was about to drive Hu Yi out angrily, but at this moment, Hu Yi suddenly said, "I am now Lin Beichen's apprentice, so you'd better be polite when you speak."
Zhou Yi could tell that this was a joke, but he didn't quite believe it. Lin Beichen said one second that he didn't accept any apprentices, and the next second Hu Yi had already become his apprentice. This was hard to accept.
He turned to look at Lin Beichen: "Really?"
Although Lin Beichen didn't say anything, he had already tacitly accepted the fact of accepting a disciple. Zhou Yi patted his forehead and whispered, "I said that no one can change what you have determined. It seems that I was wrong."
In order not to violate the system's orders, Lin Beichen had no choice but to accept a disciple. But now that he has accepted a disciple, he must fulfill his responsibilities as a master.
"Take her out for a meal. Look at her frail body. If you don't take her out for a good meal, others will think that I, her master, am mistreating her."
Although Zhou Yi was extremely reluctant, he still said sarcastically: "Okay, my dear master who 'doesn't accept apprentices'."
In response to Zhou Yi's sarcasm, Lin Beichen quickly explained: "Don't be so implicit. I did say that I would not accept any apprentices, but this time the system showed that I should accept her as my personal disciple."
So that's what happened. After Zhou Yi understood the truth, he stopped making things difficult for Lin Beichen. He thought that the disciple Lin Beichen accepted might not be a simple person.
Lin Beichen frowned, feeling puzzled. Logically, the system wouldn't give such a prompt, and they had no reason to suspect that the system would make a mistake.
The three of them came to the restaurant, and Zhou Yi ordered a lot of fish and meat in one go. After ordering the dishes, he kept glancing at Lin Beichen next to him, giving people the illusion that he had to look at Lin Beichen's face before ordering.
Looking at the food on the table, Hu Yi swallowed her saliva. But she still knew some basic etiquette, and she didn't dare to pick up the food with her chopsticks before Lin Beichen spoke.
Lin Beichen didn't want to embarrass her, so he said to Hu Yi: "Eat if you want. I don't have so many rules here. I will tell you slowly later."
Hearing Lin Beichen say this, Hu Yi didn't even use chopsticks. She just grabbed the food with her hands and started eating it voraciously.
Zhou Yi and Lin Beichen were both shocked by the way he ate. Zhou Yi stared at Hu Yi in amazement, while Lin Beichen thought to himself: Am I accepting a disciple or a savage?
Zhou Yi couldn't bear it any longer and coughed. Hu Yi stopped, still chewing her food, and stared at the two of them with a dull look, only then realizing how ugly her eating habits were.
As a master, Lin Beichen could only comfort her: "It's okay, eat slowly, everything on the table is yours, no one will snatch it from you."
Zhou Yi directly picked up the chopsticks and put them in Hu Yi's hand, telling her: "Chopsticks are not for decoration, they are used to pick up food."
Hu Yi held the chopsticks in his hand, and had not yet swallowed the food in his mouth. He could not speak, but kept chewing. It took a long time before he swallowed it.
After the two looked at each other awkwardly, Zhou Yi patiently taught Hu Yi how to use chopsticks. Although a little embarrassed, Hu Yi still learned it. Just like when she learned to meditate, although it was her first time, she still did it well.
Lin Beichen felt that Hu Yi's behavior was a little unusual, so he asked directly: "Where are you from? Why do you want to be my apprentice?"
Hu Yi, who was learning to use chopsticks, heard Lin Beichen's question and turned to look at him, but didn't say anything. It was obvious that she was a little absent-minded.
This made Lin Beichen somewhat suspicious of Hu Yi's purpose in approaching him. Did she want to harm him? However, the system showed that she was to be accepted as a personal disciple, which did not make sense.
Seeing that Hu Yi was slow to answer his question, Lin Beichen was puzzled, but he did not continue to ask. Instead, he thought Hu Yi's chopstick movements were quite funny.
"If you do it like me, you can't even use chopsticks properly. What else do you want to learn from the master?" Lin Beichen said.
Hu Yi smiled bitterly, and then looked at Zhou Yi with a firm look. She thought to herself that as long as she wanted to do something well, she would succeed.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yi learned to use chopsticks in just a few minutes. Zhou Yi felt that this was a very difficult thing for someone who had never used chopsticks before.
He praised: "I didn't expect you to have some talent."
After Zhou Yi praised her like this, Hu Yi's confidence was surging. She turned to look at her master and said confidently: "My talent is not only reflected in using chopsticks, you will know it later."
Zhou Yi teased Hu Yi that she was a little proud. The three of them finished their meal chatting and laughing. But after the meal, Lin Beichen felt something was wrong. When he asked Hu Yi about her origins, Hu Yi hesitated to answer.
Although Lin Beichen thought Hu Yi was a little strange, he didn't think much about it. He just changed the subject and said, "The apprenticeship meeting will be held in three days."
Hu Yi was so excited that she couldn't even imagine that she could become Lin Beichen's apprentice.
"No need to wait three days, I want to become your disciple right now!" Hu Yi said.
But she was taught a lesson by Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi gently patted her head and said, "You still have a long way to go. Don't be so impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I said it will be three days later, it will be three days later."
Back in the house, Lin Beichen continued to meditate and practice. Now that he is a master, he knows that he must continue to improve his abilities to be worthy of this status.
At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly noticed something strange, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted to the empty room: "Who?" As a breeze blew, an old man appeared in front of him. Seeing this, Lin Beichen was shocked, because this old man was the one who competed with him on the day of the ceremony.
Lin Beichen suddenly became nervous. He had no idea why the old man came here, but he knew that this old man was no ordinary person and his strength was unfathomable.
Seeing this, the old man smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous. If I had any ill intentions towards you, I would have dealt with you that day."
The old man's words revealed confidence, but Lin Beichen did not let down his guard. After all, it was only the second time they met, and he could not easily trust the other party.
Lin Beichen said coldly: "You can come here easily, which shows that you have some ability. But I think you can't be here to show off your ability, right?"
The old man laughed loudly. He admired Lin Beichen's intelligence and sharpness. It was because he saw Lin Beichen's potential that he decided to come here for a talk.
However, Lin Beichen did not want to have too much entanglement with the old man. He said domineeringly: "I don't want to know the purpose of your coming here. I just hope you leave as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the old man did not move, but slowly approached Lin Beichen and sat down in front of him. He seemed calm and composed, without any sign of nervousness.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of leaving, Lin Beichen wanted to ask someone to drive him away. But the old man spoke first: "Don't bother to drive me away, I'm here to discuss something with you."
Hearing this, Lin Beichen was not in a hurry to chase him away, but wanted to see what the old man's purpose was. He thought that it would not be too late to chase him away after he figured out the old man's intention.
Seeing an opportunity, the old man immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I think you are very capable, and I want to cooperate with you. As long as we join forces, there is nothing we can't accomplish."
In response to the old man's praise, Lin Beichen just smiled and thanked him. But he didn't know why the old man wanted to cooperate with him, so he refused directly.
The old man was not discouraged. He said firmly: "Don't be so quick to refuse. Don't you want to know what I want to discuss with you?"
Lin Beichen's attitude was very firm. He believed that everyone was selfish and the old man must have something to ask of him before he wanted to cooperate. He said, "No matter what you say, I don't want to know your purpose and intention. There is no cooperation between us."
The old man was still smiling, secretly praising Lin Beichen's firm stance. But he did not intend to give up, because this matter was too important to him, and he could not do it well alone.
Lin Beichen also had a question in his mind, that is, during the ceremony, the old man's ability was obviously higher than his, but he still spoke for him. In order to figure this out, he asked: "You are not just a missionary, right? Tell me, who are you? Only if we are sincere to each other can we proceed to the next step of cooperation."
Seeing that Lin Beichen was already wavering, the old man said a few perfunctory words and then stated his position. He said that if the two of them cooperated, there would be a bright future.
Lin Beichen fell into deep thought. Although he didn't know the old man's purpose, he guessed that their encounter at the last ceremony might have been a foreshadowing of this meeting.
Therefore, Lin Beichen did not continue to reject the old man, but wanted to hear what reasons he had for him to cooperate with him. He asked: "Since you don't want to tell me who you are, then you should at least tell me the purpose of your visit this time, right?"
The old man asked back: "If I tell you the purpose of this trip, will you consider cooperating with me?"
Lin Beichen couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are too confident, aren't you? We haven't discussed anything yet, but you are already planning to cooperate. Are you really so sure that I will agree to cooperate?"
Lin Beichen finally had no choice but to discuss the missionary issue with the old man, even though he did not agree at first. But from the old man's firm attitude, Lin Beichen saw that the old man would never give up if the matter was not resolved.
The old man noticed that Lin Beichen's expression had eased, and he immediately seized the opportunity.
"Lin Beichen, this matter will also be of great benefit to you Taoists." The old man said sincerely.
"Of course I have my own selfish motives, I admit that, but I believe you are not such a petty person."
Lin Beichen didn't expect the old man to be so straightforward and get to the point right away.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Beichen looked up at the old man: "Since you are so frank, if I still insist on my own opinion and refuse to agree to your request, wouldn't it seem that I am unreasonable? Well, I promise to let the missionaries live in the Taoist temple. Shouldn't you be satisfied with this?"
The old man was overjoyed to hear that Lin Beichen finally gave in. The purpose of his trip was finally achieved.
"Hahaha... That's great, Lin Beichen, it's settled here. I will arrange for missionaries to move into the Taoist temple as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble." The old man looked happy.
Lin Beichen seemed relatively calm, just looking at the old man seriously. After discussing this matter, Lin Beichen felt a little complicated and indescribable.
Suddenly, Lin Beichen walked up to the old man and asked seriously, "Why don't you want to reveal your true intentions?"
The old man didn't expect Lin Beichen to ask this suddenly. He looked at Lin Beichen in surprise, then just smiled meaningfully and did not answer Lin Beichen's question.
"Goodbye..." After saying this, the old man suddenly disappeared.
Lin Beichen couldn't help but sigh: "It's always like this, it's really hard to figure out. Why do you have to hide it and pretend to be mysterious?"
The next day, before Lin Beichen had time to tell Zhou Yi about this matter and let him prepare, the old man had already brought the missionaries to the Taoist temple and couldn't wait to stay there.
The old man looked at the missionaries and said happily, "From now on, we will live in this Taoist temple. Everyone should be careful in what they say and do, don't cause trouble, and don't damage the reputation of the missionaries. Do you understand?"
"Yes..." the missionaries answered in unison.
Zhou Yi heard the noise outside and rushed out with his men. He was surprised to see that the missionaries had already arrived here, and the leader was an old man.
He looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "What are you doing? Why did you come to our Taoist temple? Please don't disturb us, or I will be rude to you. Leave quickly, I don't want to make everyone unhappy."
The old man saw Zhou Yi's attitude and guessed that Lin Beichen might not have told him about this matter yet. So the old man walked up to Zhou Yi and said, "We will not leave. We came here today to live here. So let's not have any unhappiness and live in peace from today on."
"What did you say...I don't believe you! It's just a dream to want to live in our Taoist temple!" Zhou Yi shouted in confusion and anger.
"Come here, drive them all out of the Taoist temple!" Zhou Yi ordered angrily. (End of this chapter)
