But, the next moment.

A pair of cool hands covered her palms, forcing Chen Huijie to return to the position where she was about to draw her sword.

"That's enough, Huijie." The man's gentle voice sounded in her ears. "You've been great, take a rest."

Chen Huijie was stunned. The thin layer of black mist on the surface of her body dissipated, and her snow-white hair turned back to blue.

Viego pulled her back to the campfire and made her sit down.

"Don't be too anxious." He smiled and handed her a wooden stick with freshly baked potatoes, saying:

"You are already a genius, Huijie! It only took you half an hour to be able to cover your entire body with black mist and draw your sword to attack at the same time. This is the first time I have seen such talent!"

Chen Huijie stared blankly at the pair of green eyes with a gentle smile, and after a moment she came to her senses, took the potato, curled her lips, and whispered back:

"You have only accepted me as your apprentice, so of course this is the first time I've met you."

"Oh, you found out." Viego laughed, then stopped smiling after a moment and said seriously:

"I understand your desire to become stronger quickly and to set high standards for yourself, Huijie, but I still want to tell you - too much is as bad as too little."

After all, the Curse of Ruin is not a force of truth, goodness, and beauty, or a gentle force.

It is a curse after all, but Viego is special enough to become its king.

But if my cheap apprentice is impatient and uses the black mist day and night to train himself...

It was hard for Viego to say whether the Curse of Ruin would affect the mental health of his apprentice.

Even if it doesn't happen, this mentality of being impatient for quick results and demanding too much from yourself is not a healthy state. It is easy to put too much pressure on yourself and fall into a bad mentality of anxiety and impatience.

Since he had accepted the man as his apprentice, Viego felt that he should shoulder the responsibility of a master.

Caring for apprentices, respecting apprentices, and paying attention to their physical and mental health are what a good master should do.

Therefore, Viego felt that he needed to temporarily act as a spiritual mentor and enlighten his apprentice.

"......" Chen Huijie pursed her lips after hearing this, and was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously to Viego: "I understand, Master."

Viego was stunned for a moment.

Just agreed?

He was ready to persuade the people with earnest words, appealing to their emotions and convincing them with reason.

Chen Huijie saw Viego's doubts, thought about it, exhaled a breath of relief, and laughed, saying:

"I'm very happy that you care about me like this. You are my master, and as an apprentice, of course I have to listen to you - I am no longer in the rebellious stage."

Come to think of it, I have already worshipped such a powerful senior as my master, and sooner or later I will be stronger than that Old Deng. Why should I care about his past disappointments?

You shouldn't live for anyone, nor should you work hard for anyone's expectations or satisfaction...

Just for myself and for my ideals.

Huh, Wei Yanwu?

Old Poker should...

I can't even get past my master!

Viego thought about it and felt that it was true, but he still felt comforted by his apprentice's good behavior.

He couldn't help but pat Chen Huijie on the head and said with satisfaction: "So good."

The good disciple blushed and leaned back to avoid Viego's hand: "Don't do this... I'm not a child anymore."

"Who said only children can be patted on the head?" Viego raised his eyebrows and retorted righteously.

So Chen Huijie raised his hand and touched his head.

Seeing the astonished look of his master, Chen Huijie blinked, his red eyes shining brightly under the flickering bonfire, and his smile was cunning: "Who said that only children can be patted on the head?"

"Okay!" Viego was furious: "You dare to touch the master's head on the first day of being an apprentice. I dare not think about what you will do to me in another year or two!"

"Then...I'll read the e-book with you as an apology?"

"You wanted to find someone to watch it with you, didn't you?"

"Just tell me whether you want to see it or not!" Chen Huijie shook the tablet in his hand.

Viego snorted coldly.

Then he came over.

"Just watch!"

Beside the campfire, a girl's smug hum was heard.

......

early morning.

Chen Huijie woke up from the tent and groaned in confusion. "Hmm..."

She rubbed her eyes, stared at the roof of the tent for two seconds, and finally woke up.

Recalling everything that happened yesterday, I really felt like I was in a dream.

I actually worshipped a senior master like this...

But Chen Huijie knew that it was not a dream.

She could still feel the coolness coming from the triangular brand on the inside of her wrist, and the dilapidated black mist in the brand that she could control at any time.

Chen Huijie walked out of the tent and saw a white-haired man sitting by the campfire.

She made up her mind and walked over.

"Good morning, Master."

"Good morning, Huijie." The man smiled and handed over a steaming food box. "Breakfast, would you like a bite?"

During his trip to Syracuse, Viego bought many small items in his car that could increase his happiness in life, and lunch boxes were one of them.

After confirming that he was able to eat, even though he didn't really need to eat, Viego still tried his best to maintain the habit of eating.

But it felt a bit bitter to hold a can of food in his hand every day when eating, so he bought a box of disposable food containers. At least when he ate, he felt more comfortable looking at them.

Chen Huijie smiled and took the food box. "Thank you, Master."

"Oh yeah..." She suddenly remembered something. "When you were branding me yesterday, it caused such a big commotion, but didn't it cause any trouble?"

"What kind of trouble could it be?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"For example... your enemies or something will come to you after seeing your unique power characteristics and the strange phenomena in the world..." Chen Huijie couldn't help laughing as she said this. "That's what's written in the novel."

Viego laughed and shook his head, rubbing her head, messing up Xiao Longnu's hair, which was not smooth to begin with after waking up:

"First, I don't have any enemies, and even if I did, they wouldn't come looking for me. Second, what happened yesterday wasn't a strange phenomenon. I just saw that you were looking forward to some strange phenomenon, so I deliberately created that momentum, so no one would associate it with me."

Chen Huijie was stunned and looked at Viego in amazement. "Master, was that the noise you made yourself?"

"Really?" Viego raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly: "Why, are you shocked by the strength of your master?"

"... a little bit." Chen Huijie said honestly. "I thought yesterday was just like what is written in novels, that the phenomena of heaven and earth that come with top-level skills and will appear when you pass on your skills and break through..."

"It's not impossible... but you and I definitely won't get this kind of treatment." Viego said: "I'm not from Yan Country, where can I get Yan Country's top-level skills for you to use?"

"That's true." Chen Huijie smiled, and when Viego raised his hand, she took the initiative to rub her head against him.

"...?!" Viego was stunned: "You are not..."

"You are willing to make such a big noise for me, it's not impossible for me to pat your head." The obedient disciple smiled and wrinkled her nose at him, revealing her girlish cuteness: "But you can only pat me if I take the initiative to let you do so!"

The cheap master was willing to deliberately create such a big scene just because of her careless words to make her happy. He doted on his apprentice so much, so it was not a big deal for his apprentice to let him touch his head occasionally to make him happy...

The master dotes on his apprentice, and of course the apprentice also dotes on the master.

This is the true meaning of reciprocity, a two-way journey!

The blue-haired dragon girl sat by the campfire, looking up at the shocked white-haired man with a huge smile on her face.

"Master, what are we going to learn today?"



Chapter 175: You are not as good as me!

"Let's get in the car first." Viego said:

"Today's exercise can also be done in the car. You sit in the same car with me, and then you can use the hook to pull your car behind mine."

"Yes, Master." Chen Huijie nodded, finished his breakfast, got up and took the initiative to hook up the car.

Viego stared at her back with a slightly subtle look in his eyes.

Ever since he had enlightened his cheap apprentice last night, he felt that the speed at which the fragments in his apprentice's body transmitted power through the air had increased significantly. He was no longer on guard and trusted him wholeheartedly.

Is it because my personality charm is too strong, or is this girl too easy to attack... No, it's because she is too gullible, or is it because I accidentally found the right way to get along with her?

Judging from Chen Huijie's performance, it is actually more like the first or third possibility.

but...

It doesn't matter which one.

They are all my disciples anyway.

Viego shook his head, stopped thinking about it, got up and started packing up the tent and campfire.

After a while, Chen Huijie got into Viego's car and looked at him with red eyes, eyes sparkling: "Master, what should we do now?"

"Just like last night, cover your whole body with black mist." Viego said:

"I will deliberately take the bumpy terrain and sneak attack you at any time. If you can keep the black fog from dispersing for half an hour and avoid my sneak attack, then you will have mastered this skill."

If the cheap apprentice can multitask and remain highly alert in such a situation, maintaining the black fog state while avoiding sneak attacks, then there is no need to worry that she will be distracted and unable to maintain the black fog during the battle.

Viego started the car, thought for a moment, turned the car around and headed east, which was the direction where Dayan was. He patted his apprentice on the shoulder to show encouragement: "Come on, Huijie."

"Okay, Master!" Chen Huijie nodded seriously, his hair turned white, and he controlled the black mist to cover his whole body...

The next moment, Viego suddenly attacked, his index finger left a shadow like lightning, and poked Chen Huijie's cheek!

Chen Huijie reacted in time, reached out and grabbed Viego's fingers, and couldn't help but smile.

like...

It’s not that difficult.

The next moment, the off-road vehicle waded over the rocks and the body of the vehicle shook violently. Chen Huijie's body shook with it, and he was distracted for a moment, and the black fog dissipated directly.

Viego raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't be discouraged. Try again."

"...Yes, Master!" Chen Huijie suppressed his pride, nodded, reflected silently for a moment, and once again controlled the black mist to flow through his body.

Five minutes later, Chen Huijie once again dispelled the black fog with another bumpy ride.

Viego encouraged:

"Stay focused, let's try again."

"it is good!"

Seven minutes later, Viego poked his apprentice's soft cheek with his finger and said:

"Don't let your guard down while controlling the black fog."

"Okay, Master."

......

The whole day passed quietly between teaching, practicing and traveling.

In the evening, the afterglow of dusk shines on the earth, and the off-road vehicle is still driving on the wilderness.

Chen Huijie looked out of the car window casually, but actually her eyes were on the side-view mirror, observing the movements of the white-haired man in the driver's seat. Her body seemed relaxed, but in fact, the black mist kept flowing, keeping her tense at all times.

The next moment, Viego made a lightning-fast move and stabbed his cheap apprentice in the waist. At the same time, the car body turned, drifted on the spot, and drove onto a section of road paved with stones. The car body began to shake violently.

Chen Huijie's eyes were as fast as lightning. He raised his hand in time to block the attack of his cheap master. Even under the violent turbulence, the black mist in his body remained stable. He even took the opportunity to stretch out his other hand, reaching for Viego's throat, trying to counterattack!

Viego blocked her palm, smiled, drove out of the gravel road, parked the car to the side, and looked at the co-pilot: "Congratulations, Huijie."
