Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 204
Conscientiousness

In the dim thatched cottage, Li Ming picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, while Ye Hongyu in a red dress graciously filled Li Ming's wine glass.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine glass but didn't drink it, but looked at the nervous Ye Hongyu with great interest, and said:

"Little girl, just tell me what you want, although I may not agree."

Hearing that Ye Hongyu shook the little hand holding the jug, the wine dripped down the spout on the ground, a pair of slightly disturbed eyes sneaked a glance at Li Ming who was still there, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I can Do you practice with you?"

The girl's voice trembled slightly, her bright eyes stared nervously at Li Ming, and her white and tender empty hand pinched the corner of her skirt uneasily.

She wants to leave here, leave this place that makes her feel dirty, she wants to pursue power, the kind of power that allows her to protect herself.

"The wine is almost finished." Li Ming said quietly, taking a sip of the wine.

Hearing this, Ye Hongyu couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment, and then saw Li Ming roll his eyes at the flagon in his hand before reacting, hurriedly straightened the flagon, looking at the light flagon and the large pool of wine on the ground, Ye Hongyu's face turned pale. Hong put down the jug, and said, "Senior, I'll get you some wine right now."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to go out to get some wine, but was stopped by Li Ming with a wave

"No need, I'm not an alcoholic, just have a taste."

Li Ming waved his hand, and an invisible force stopped the girl. What he drank was loneliness, not wine. If he drank too much, he would be too lonely.

"Senior has agreed!"

Ye Hongyu's joyful appearance did not have a trace of the indifference and aloofness of a future Taoist, love and hate free and easy, after all, she was just a young girl.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy. I have something for you to do. If you can do it, I will accept you."

Hearing this, Ye Hongyu couldn't help being taken aback, and his mood instantly felt like a roller coaster of ups and downs.However, facing this rare opportunity, Ye Hongyu did not hesitate, his small face was full of determination
"Senior, please tell me, Red Fish will do my best to complete it."

Seeing the girl's resolute expression, Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his fingers to lightly touch Ye Hongyu's white and tender eyebrows. Seeing this, Ye Hongyu resisted the instinct to avoid, she believed that Li Ming would not be like that person. Also want to hurt her.

Touching a trace of warm breath with her fingertips, Li Ming slightly nodded and turned to look outside the door and said, "Did you see the footprints outside?"

Ye Hongyu nodded hastily. The row of footprints across the lake is still on the lake. Such a miraculous thing, let alone her, can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

"Follow the footprints to the end, find a shop selling roasted sweet potatoes, and bring me a big black donkey and a roasted sweet potato."

"It's that simple?"

"Ah."

After getting an affirmative answer, Ye Hongyu turned around and hurried out, her non-procrastinating behavior showed a hint of demeanor.

Li Ming looked at Ye Hongyu's fiery figure and shook his head slightly, then turned to continue studying the heavenly book.

Ye Hongyu's appearance was just a small episode to him, and the test of accepting her as an apprentice on a whim was nothing more than a random one. It didn't matter if he could pass the test and accept her as his apprentice, but if he couldn't pass it, it could only mean that the other party was not qualified to join him.

At this time, Ye Hongyu outside the door was standing by the lake, looking at the footprints that suppressed the entire lake, hesitating for a moment before carefully closing his eyes and taking a step forward.

The imaginary sound of falling into the water did not come, Ye Hongyu opened her eyes cautiously, and looked at the footprints under her feet in amazement, but the feeling of walking on flat ground made her very novel and unusual.

However, just as she took another step, an invisible pressure instantly pressed on her body, and she couldn't help but staggered. Fortunately, Ye Hongyu had also practiced and reacted quickly, and hurriedly stabilized her figure.

Feeling that the mind power of the non-confusing state in the sea of ​​consciousness was also suppressed to the point of being unable to mobilize, Ye Hongyu couldn't help muttering: "It really isn't that simple, but I won't give up just like that."

A look of determination appeared on her immature face, and her petite body walked on the lake step by step under the pressure, but the small lake took her half an hour to walk.

Ye Hongyu wiped the sweat off his brow with a small white hand, and looked back at the lake, but there was a smile on his face, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment filled his heart.

After calming down, she turned around and continued to take firm steps, but she didn't notice that there was a figure sneaking close to the lake in the distance.

The person who came was a round and plump boy. At this time, the boy was looking at the footprints on the lake curiously, looking eager to try.

"What is that tigress Ye Hongyu doing?"

He saw Ye Hongyu's footsteps walking along the waves just now, and he was puzzled and at the same time had an urge to try.

The boy cautiously stretched out his chubby feet and wanted to follow Ye Hongyu's example and set foot on the lake.
"Chen Pipi, if you want to die, you can step on it."

"Who! Who is playing tricks!"

Scared by the sudden sound, Chen Pipi quickly withdrew her little feet and looked around nervously, but there was no one around except for the night wind blowing towards her face.

Being blown by the night wind, Chen Pipi's body couldn't help shaking, her chubby face looked around suspiciously, and her heart felt hairy

"Isn't it something dirty?"

Chen Pipi couldn't help shivering when he thought of this, but he remembered the miserable howls that came out from the back mountain from time to time. Don't get close to the monsters suppressed by Zhishouguan. Since then, he has never dared to step into the back mountain.

Just when Chen Pippi's heart was trembling, that ethereal voice sounded again
"Jie Jie Jie, it's been a long time since I met a child with such delicate skin and tender meat, the taste is really nostalgic, the meat won't taste good if it's dead."

Hearing that creepy laughter, Chen Pipi's face instantly turned pale, and he shook his head crazily and shouted:

"Don't eat me, my meat doesn't taste good! Help, the ogre monster has escaped!"

Chen Pipi ran towards the light while shouting, but her chubby legs ran faster than adults

Inside the thatched cottage, Li Ming looked at Chen Pipi who broke in with a smile in his eyes. The elegant and easy-going appearance made Chen Pipi feel relieved a lot when he came in.
Today Zhishouguan was there when the audience greeted Li Ming. He must be a master who can make Zhishouguan treat each other with such courtesy. It should not be a problem to deal with the monsters outside.

Thinking of this, Chen Pipi hurriedly said: "Senior, there are monsters outside who want to eat people!"

Hearing this, Li Ming narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a creepy smile.
