Just like last year, after it snowed for a month, the academy gave students a holiday. Those who wanted to go home could go home, and those who didn't wanted to could stay in the academy and continue practicing.

Demon Realm students Hua Xiaotian and Hua Xiaoyu found Li Xiuyuan buried in a pile of books in the library.

"Hey, little handyman, we have something to ask you!" Hua Xiaoyu, who was enchanting and cute, was wearing a purple dress and looked at Li Xiuyuan and called out.

"Do we know each other?" Li Xiuyuan looked up at the boy in front of her. The girl was confused.

Hua Xiaoyu was startled, looked at him and smiled: "You don't know me, but I know you? I am Hua Xiaoyu from the Demon Realm, and this is my brother Hua Xiaotian."

"So you two are from the Demon Realm!" Upon hearing that they were students from the Demon Realm, Li Xiuyuan's attitude became a little better. After all, he and Hua Tianyu were friends.

Hua Xiaotian glared at Hua Xiaoyu and stepped forward to hug Li Xiuyuan and salute: "We have a letter from our eldest brother, inviting the young gentleman to come back to the Demon Realm with us as a guest."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He looked at the two of them and replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go this year. My level is not as high as yours, so how can I dare to go out?"

When Hua Xiaoyu heard this, she glanced at him with disgust and said with a smile: "Big brother said we can protect you. This time there are six of us going home!"

Now Li Xiuyuan finally understood. It is clear that there are many of us, so we are not afraid. We can protect you when you visit the Demon Realm.

It's just that he is really powerless right now, and he probably won't go anywhere before next year.

But I also thought that I had to go to that place, even if it wasn't for myself, it was for Qing Ying's sake.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and took out a jar of newly brewed wine in the spring and put it on the table. He looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Please bring this jar of wine to Hua Tianyu. I brewed it in the spring. You can drink it now."

Already."

When Hua Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but reach out to grab the wine jar. Halfway through, Hua Xiaotian blocked her hand. After looking at Li Xiuyuan, Hua Xiaotian put away the wine jar.

"In this way, I would like to thank Mr. Tianyu for his kindness!"

After speaking, he glared at Hua Xiaoyu, looked at Li Xiuyuan and continued: "Mr., don't you think about it? We also have fine wine in the Demon Realm, and a lot of elixirs from Lingshan. Maybe we can help you."

"No, let's wait until next year!" Li Xiuyuan thought that since he had made a decision, he would not easily waver in his determination to practice.

Hua Xiaotian smiled and replied: "I will reply truthfully and wait until next year to go with Mr. Xiao."

"Well, I'm also very interested in the Demon Realm. Let's wait until my realm reaches a higher level." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Then let's take our leave and not disturb Mr. Young's practice."

Hua Xiaotian said goodbye to Li Xiuyuan, holding Hua Xiaoyu's hand and walking out of the library.

Hua Xiaoyu looked back at Li Xiuyuan and whispered to Hua Xiaotian: "What's wrong with you today? Being so polite to a little handyman? You're not such a person normally."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Until the two of them walked out of the library, Hua Xiaotiandi said: "He is a good friend of Brother Hua. Do you want to go back and get scolded?"

Thinking about the competition between Li Xiuyuan and Qin Yiyuan, Tian Xiaotian continued: "He is a disciple of the Master. It is said that even the dean does not dare to mess with his teacher."

Hua Xiaoyu curled her lips and complained: "Can that little handyman in the Jindan realm still make it to heaven?"

"You are stupid. He is younger than you. If he waits until he grows up to be as big as you, I'm afraid he will be even higher than you in cultivation."

Hua Xiaotian shook his head and walked forward.

Fortunately, I stopped this little witch, otherwise she might have been able to slap away the wine jar that Li Xiuyuan gave to Hua Tianyu on the spot.

"Oops! Wait for me!" Hua Xiaoyu shouted from behind.

...

After leaving the library, he returned to the bamboo house and bowed to the master. He looked at Wei Qing, who was sitting aside and learning to boil water and make tea, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Teacher, the academy is going on holiday again." Li Xiuyuan looked at the Master and said.

"So what? Does it have anything to do with your practice?" The Master looked at him and smiled.

Wei Qing looked confused, scratched his head and asked: "It's a holiday in the academy? Can I go home and play for a while?"

Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised and said with a smile: "You still want to go home and play? Then you can leave tomorrow and you won't have to come back again."

"You came back early today. Did something happen?" The master poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "The library shouldn't be closed at the moment, right?"

"Senior brother is so fierce!" Wei Qing stared into his eyes and said, "I was just saying casually, you said you were trying to scare me."

"The students from the Demon Realm came over and invited me to come with them." Li Xiuyuan looked at the Master and replied softly: "I rejected them, so I came back earlier to see Wei Qing."

Wei Qing looked at him in confusion and surprise, and asked: "Senior Brother, what do you think I am doing? I heard that the girls in the Demon Realm are all very beautiful. Do they all know Senior Brother?"

"That's because I want to do something for you!" Li Xiuyuan took two sips of hot tea, put down the cup, and said angrily: "From tomorrow on, you can go to the kitchen backyard to chop firewood."

"Senior brother, you actually asked me to chop firewood? You are so cruel!" Wei Qing said with a smile: "I am practicing with the teacher, how can I have time to go to the kitchen to chop firewood?"

The master looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "You have already decided, then I will throw this guy into the kitchen and chop three years of firewood first!"

When Wei Qing saw that the master had admitted the truth, he quickly asked: "Speaking of which, I have just built the foundation. Teacher, are you cruel enough to ask me to do the wood chopping skills?"

"Your senior brother was chopping firewood in the kitchen when he first entered the academy. Haven't you ever chopped firewood at home? Or is it better to go to the kitchen and teach you how to do it?"

The master felt that Li Xiuyuan's decision was correct. Now that the relationship with the academy has been eased, the first thing to do is to let this little guy go and polish it up.

When Wei Qing heard this, he said with a bitter look on his face: "Since the teacher and senior brother have asked me to go, I will go and give it a try."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said seriously: "Starting from tomorrow, I will go to the kitchen to chop firewood every morning when I get up. After finishing the kitchen work, I will stay there to have lunch, and then come to the teacher again."

"Just do what your senior brother says!" The master looked at the two of them, waved his right hand vigorously and said, "Whether you want to learn sword skills or sword skills in the future, chop this firewood for me first."

"I will only teach you once tomorrow, and you can practice slowly by yourself from now on." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "If you want to practice differently from others, you have to start from the most basic practice."

Wei Qing was startled when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "If my father knew that I was chopping firewood in the academy, would he laugh at me?"

"You don't have to go. Just like the children at the foot of the mountain, they grow up under the care of their parents!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and added seriously: "Don't worry, if you go home, neither the teacher nor I will advise you. You have to think about it and decide whether to go to the kitchen."

Wei Qing was a little confused by Li Xiuyuan's words. He scratched his head and said nothing for a long time.

The Master suddenly frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to take Qingying to the Demon Realm? Isn't there an opportunity right in front of you?"

After saying this, the Master raised his head and glanced outside the house, only to find that the green eagle had gone wild in the mountains and had not come back yet.

"If I go out in such a state, I will either be laughed at or bullied by others. I'd better wait until next year to reach a higher state. Don't worry!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the Master and replied softly.

Wei Qing looked at him and raised his chin slightly, and said very proudly: "I will not be scared away by my senior brother. I will practice well with my teacher."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and said, "In that case, I'm just waiting for you to practice well and then surpass me."

The master looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "Practice is not easy, Wei Qing, you have to study hard with your senior brother."

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Wei Qing is very strong. He can chop wood in the kitchen no matter what. I also imagine that I can become the most powerful practitioner like my senior brother."

The master replied: "The realm is just a realm, and it has nothing to do with personal practice. If you don't lay a good foundation, you will have to wait and see if you have a realm in the future!"

"Teacher, don't worry, I understand." Wei Qing looked at the two of them and said, "How can I be like my senior brother and not let the students in the academy laugh at me?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "Don't worry, as long as your cultivation reaches the realm of golden elixir, the teacher and I will ask the dean to get a place as a formal student for you."

In his opinion, Wei Qing's home is at the foot of the mountain. After all, the villagers in the town are worldly people and need some light to shine on their heads. Not everyone is like him.

"That's the truth!" The master also looked at him and said, "I will tell the dean about you some other time. It is not difficult to become a formal student of the academy."

Master also understood what Li Xiuyuan meant and looked at him deeply. He was becoming more and more satisfied with the disciple he had unintentionally accepted.

"Can I?" When Wei Qing heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "If I can become an official student, I will be the only academy disciple in the whole town."

"You already are!" The Master glared at him and said, "However, in the future, the academy will recruit a few more disciples from the town to join the academy."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he thought carefully and said: "This is indeed a good idea. Just protecting them is not enough. We need to train some powerful masters in the town so that they are not afraid of bandits."

"I want to tell my father the good news and let more villagers know the good news."

Wei Qing looked at the excitement of the two and said, this news is undoubtedly a big deal for the people in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

The master shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can talk about it when you go back during the Chinese New Year. The academy does not recruit new students so quickly. It has to be done every three years!"

"That's good news too!" Wei Qing said with a smile: "If I hadn't met my senior brothers and teachers, I might never have been able to enter the academy to practice. The same goes for the children at the foot of the mountain."

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, and lowered his voice and said: "This matter has not spread in the college yet. Junior brother, please don't tell it, otherwise the dean will be angry."

Wei Qing looked at him as if he were a ghost and said in disbelief: "Senior brother, you are too cruel. I don't understand. With your cultivation level, you can already become an official disciple of the academy."

"My path is different from yours. No matter how high my cultivation level is, I will never become a formal disciple in the academy. You must not learn from me."

Li Xiuyuan knew why Master agreed to give Wei Qing a formal quota, but neither he nor Master knew when the day of Master's ascension would come.

Once the Master leaves this world, he must find a suitable master for Wei Qing, and he is the least able to teach. Only by placing Wei Qing among the formal students of the academy can the Master leave with peace of mind.

The more Li Xiuyuan refused to join the official ranks of the academy's students, the more curious Wei Qing became and kept asking questions.

"Senior brother, aren't you afraid of others laughing at you?" Wei Qing thought for a moment and asked seriously: "If senior brother reaches the Nascent Soul realm and is still a handyman in the kitchen, more students will laugh at you."
