The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 32 Accepting an Apprentice

He has not been in the hut of Lingcao Hall these two days, Bai Chen was afraid that the disciples of Lingcao Hall would not take good care of him, so he kept him there.

Du Zhong slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist tremblingly in front of his eyes.

Before Shen He left, Bai Chen took him outside the house after healed him.

The two stood behind the house and whispered, thinking that he couldn't hear, but he was just physically weak, not deaf. Thank you, really not.He heard Bai Chen ask softly, "How is he?"

Shen He was quiet for a moment, without saying a word, Bai Chen asked again: "How long can I live?"

"...It is reasonable to say that it should be able to age slowly like a mortal, but...well, I can't say for sure."

Du Zhong looked down at his trembling fist, and there was no big disturbance in his heart.He couldn't hold his hand tightly anymore, he simply couldn't use his strength, and he didn't know if he would get better in a few days.

The conversation over there paused for a while, and Bai Chen finally said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Bai Chen exchanged a few words with Shen He and asked about the current situation, and the two of them had nothing to say.

"Then Master Bai, I'll leave first? Call me again if you have anything to do." Shen He said goodbye to him, and left directly after seeing the other party's consent.

The ability of Chu Yufeng's chief disciple is naturally beyond doubt, if he can't say for certain, then there is a high probability that it means that things are very bad.

Bai Chen stood on the spot and pondered for a while, then came out from behind the house, and saw Du Zhong standing tremblingly on crutches, she was taken aback for a moment.

He hurried over to support Du Zhong, and blamed him, "Ah Zhong, why did you come out?"

"Come out to get some air." Having more personal support made him feel much more relaxed, and Du Zhong let out a long breath, "It's still a bit... stuffy to stay in the room all the time."

"Senior brother didn't think it through." Bai Chen supported him to stand still for a moment with a worried face, and then hesitated to say, "Don't worry, senior brother won't abandon you just because of such a trivial matter."

You told me not to worry, but you were more worried than me.If you haven't measured my value, and never thought of abandoning others from the beginning to the end, how can you think that I'm afraid that you don't care about me?

Am I going to get better like this?

Because of his words, Du Zhong clenched his cane tightly, and his whole body trembled.When Bai Chen saw it, she immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

He came back to his senses and froze for a moment: "I... I'm fine."

Bai Chen also said that out of good intentions, besides, he has no obligation to support him at all, what happened to him just now?

Du Zhong rubbed his forehead, and immediately changed the subject, ready to draw attention to another thing he had been thinking about: "This time I was careless, I really don't blame Qingli. Senior brother, don't punish him too much."

"What?" Bai Chen was taken aback, with a trace of confusion on his face, "I just let him face the wall, and didn't punish him."

Didn't punish him?Du Zhong smiled awkwardly: "Then I...why haven't I seen him? I thought it was senior and you were punishing him."

"That's your apprentice. If you do something wrong, it's up to you to make a decision. I haven't been so unreasonable as Yuezu, have I? Ah Zhong, you don't understand me very well." Bai Chen squeezed his shoulders flatteringly, showing With a gentle smile, "He came to see you once, but you were still asleep at the time, so I didn't know. I thought he left you a message."

"That's it." Du Zhong looked at his cautious look, and tapped his cane with his fingertips while thinking wildly, "I feel a little awkward staying here, and I want to go back. Please call Qingli to pick me up Let's go."

"Senior Brother, I'll just take you back." Bai Chen patted him lightly, and seeing the confused look in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck, opened the folding fan and fanned it, then asked hesitantly, "Then A group of brats went out to practice in a team... He didn't tell you?"

Going out in a team to practice?Du Zhong was taken aback, didn't even say hello?He folded his hands to hold the crutches, subconsciously squeezed each other several times, and then said, "I really didn't tell me."

"In less than an hour after you came back, he pulled a few other children to form a team. You were still asleep at that time, and it was normal if you didn't know." Bai Chen said immediately, "He probably thought you wouldn't wake up so soon. come over."

Even if you think he won't get better so quickly, you shouldn't be so anxious to go out with a team while he is still lying on the sick bed?Du Zhong thought, self-reliance is not in such a hurry?

or rather...

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment, it was a good thing for Gu Qingli to have a companion to accompany him, what difference would it make if he was there or not?It's impossible for him to lead Gu Qingli around for the rest of his life, and he did ask Gu Qingli to make more friends before.

"Then brother, send me back."

"Okay." Bai Chen immediately responded, took out a flying magic weapon, and helped Du Zhong up.

In the past, he has always been forbidden to fight and withstand falls, and his physical fitness is strong, so a short flight is naturally nothing, but now it is just a magic weapon that lifts into the air, which makes Du Zhong feel uncomfortable.

He didn't want to trouble others, so he forcibly endured it, but Bai Chen had already seen the clue from his expression.Bai Chen didn't say anything, but slowed down the flight thoughtfully.

The magic weapon flew slowly, and it took a full cup of tea to reach his small bamboo house.Du Zhong smiled awkwardly: "Brother wasted time..."

Bai Chen also smiled at him, shook his head without saying a word, and carefully helped him down: "Do you want me to send some handyman disciples here?"

"No, but there is still a small matter that needs to take up some more of your time." Du Zhong took a few breaths, and stopped a disciple of the Lingcao Hall who was walking towards them, "Call all the disciples from this spiritual field."

The disciple was stopped, and immediately greeted the two of them respectfully, and then asked cautiously: "Master, what's the matter?"

"I want to take in an apprentice." Du Zhong smiled, "Don't play tricks."

"Accepting...Accepting disciples?" The disciple's eyes widened in surprise, and he raised his head and stared at Du Zhong rudely, "Are you accepting from the disciples of the outer sect's handyman?...Accepting direct disciples?"

Du Zhong nodded with a smile, and the disciple immediately ran away in a hurry.

He originally planned to ask Bai Chen for a good seedling to take in another apprentice, but he didn't expect this delay, he became like this in a few days, he was no longer worthy of a disciple with good aptitude.

The idea of ​​taking in another apprentice and getting another family member became stronger after Gu Qingli got rid of him and went out alone.

"It just so happens that you are here now, let you get acquainted, and I won't go there in person if I have something to do in the future."

"Ah Zhong, you want to recruit apprentices? In such a hurry?" Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, "There is no need to choose from among the handyman disciples, right? I can send you a few and you can pick them yourself."

"If you send someone with good qualifications to me, won't the child blame me to death?" Du Zhong shook his head with a smile, a bad person is a perfect match with a bad talent.

Bai Chen wanted to say something more, but hesitated for a while and still didn't mean to rebel against him.

In the distance, a group of half-grown children jolted over and stood obediently around Eucommia, their eyes full of hope.

They are a group of disciples who are handymen from the outer sect, the lowest level of the Tianxuan Sect, scum with no qualifications and no merit.But this does not affect their self-motivation, and they always hope that one day they can become inner disciples and become prosperous.

It doesn't matter how high they fly, as long as they can build a foundation, as long as someone can protect them from dying outside.

Although he is only the elder of the Lingcao Hall, being his personal heir has always been a good thing that he never dared to dream of.

Du Zhong looked around at the eager children surrounding him, and finally locked his eyes on a thin child standing outside.

The child had a stern face, and there was a trace of hope in his eyes, but he restrained himself very well, probably because he didn't want to have too much hope for becoming an inner disciple.

This is a bit similar to Gu Qingli when he was a child, he was restrained in everything, referred to as Mensao.

Du Zhong walked towards him, watching the little hope in the child's eyes gradually turn into panic.He originally wanted to hug the skinny child into his arms, but he had no choice but to give up because he had no strength, so he reached out and touched his little head: "Just him."
