"Ah? Me? My name is Shang Qinglin..." the little Taoist priest said obviously a little cautiously. At this time, he still didn't believe that I actually wanted to accept him as a disciple, and he was a senior one.
"Shang Qinglin? His name is very good. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?" I asked.
The little Taoist priest scratched his head, hesitated for a while, and then hesitantly said: "A disciple who can be the leader will definitely be willing, but, it's just me..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I have someone I like, and I promised her that we would return to secular life together and go home together in two years..." the little Taoist priest said after holding back for a long time.
At this moment, the disciples below burst out laughing, making the little Taoist priest blush.
This little Taoist priest is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and now he has made a private decision for the rest of his life, and he has even found his true love on Maoshan Mountain. I was dumbfounded.
I said: "Who is your true love?"
The little Taoist priest blushed and looked at the female disciples on the other side, and then his eyes fell on a little girl in the crowd.
I took a closer look and found that the little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old as the little Taoist priest. She had pretty features and looked quite innocent.
"What's your name?" I asked.
The little female Taoist priest quickly stood up and said shyly: "My name is Liang Yulang."
"Very good, our childhood sweetheart, Shang Qinglin, are you willing to be my disciple, or do you really plan to go down the mountain in two years?" I said.
The little Taoist priest suppressed his blush, and his eyes wandered back and forth between me and the little female Taoist priest. It looked like he was full of tangles.
Finally, he said: "I want to be the master's disciple, but I also want to be with her. Can I ask the master to accept us both as disciples? As long as she is here, I will be there..."
I can’t tell that this little Taoist priest is still a lover!
But soon, the expression of Elder Yuntian beside me suddenly darkened.
He said coldly: "How presumptuous. The master wants to accept you as his disciple, which is already your greatest blessing. How dare you ask for more?"
When Elder Yuntian said this, the little Taoist immediately stuck out his tongue and did not dare to say any more.
But I glanced at Elder Yuntian noncommittally, and then said calmly: "Elder Yuntian, don't be angry. On the contrary, I find Shang Qinglin's request very interesting. So, I agree to your request. You and her, I
Accept them all as disciples, but I also have a request."
"Master, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." The little Taoist said with great joy.
"I want you to assume the role of the chief disciple of Maoshan Sect. The love between children will be discussed later when they grow up. For now, learn your skills well and take care of your junior brothers and sisters. What do you think?"
"I listen to the leader, and I must be their senior brother..."
Well, seeing the determined eyes of the little Taoist priest, I knew in my heart that children like Shang Qinglin are sometimes more innocent and obedient. As long as I say something, they will naturally work hard to do it.
Elder Yuntian on the side saw that I had agreed, so naturally it was hard to say anything more.
Immediately, I asked the disciples to disperse, leaving the four mountain guardian elders to explain some things about the reorganization of the core disciples, and announced that Elder Yunyue would be responsible for all subsequent matters.
Half an hour later, the elders left, and I returned to my Head Hall with Xiao Wu and the newly adopted pair of young Taoist priests.
The Head's Palace is very big, so it's okay to accommodate a few more people. After settling the three little ones, I was called out by Chen Xiao.
Outside the headmaster's hall, Chen Xiao looked at me with a half-smile but not a smile. After a long time, he said, "Little guy, you seem to be a lot more mature and steady when you come back this time."
I also smiled. Chen Xiao was right. After I returned to Maoshan this time, not only my body but also my mentality had changed.
When it comes to facing some things, I appear to be much more mature and steady. This was completely unimaginable given my careless personality before.
I said: "People will always change. I'm not young anymore. I can't be as idle as before."
Chen Xiao patted my shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Chen Mie is indeed right about the person, but you still have to be careful about Yuntian. I grew up watching him. He is a shrewd man, but sometimes he can be very arrogant."
Report."
"I know, but I am also doing it for Maoshan's good, and if he dares to cross the threshold, I will naturally not turn a blind eye." At the end of the sentence, my tone became a little more serious.
Chen Xiao showed a look of appreciation in his eyes, and then said: "Then what are your plans next? Do you know the news about her?"
The woman Chen Xiao was talking about was naturally Mu Qing.
"I know." I nodded.
When we were at the crematorium, Xiao Yuqi told me that Mu Qing and Qin Shihuang would be getting married in five days.
When I returned to Maoshan, I spent more than a day, and now it was less than three days before the wedding of Mu Qing and Qin Shihuang.
I gritted my teeth, with a firm look in my eyes, and said, "I plan to leave tomorrow!"
Chen Xiao asked: "A person?"
I nodded. Going to snatch a bride is a private matter. If I go alone, the impact on Maoshan can be minimized.
But Chen Xiao said: "Little guy, you are the leader of Maoshan now, and every move you make represents Maoshan. It would be boring to do things like snatching a bride alone."
I raised my eyebrows, but before I could say anything, Chen Xiao showed a smirk and said: "As the head of the clan, you are going to steal the bride anyway, are you afraid of the repercussions? Bring more people and make a big fuss this time.
One thing, I have seen those righteous disciples unhappy for a long time. If they just jump out and make irresponsible remarks, don’t worry, I can also settle the accounts with them..."
Obviously, Chenxiao was supporting me. In this case, I had nothing to be embarrassed about, so I immediately nodded and said yes.
…………
A few minutes later, while Chen Xiao and I were discussing other matters in Maoshan, suddenly a Maoshan disciple came from behind and said to me respectfully: "Master, there is a female pilgrim who wants to name you and wants to see you."
"Female pilgrim?"
"Well, it seems her name is Fang Xueer. She said she must see you today."
My mind froze, my brows raised, and I thought, why is she here? You know, when I returned to Lu County and the crematorium, she might not have known, but now she came directly to Maoshan.
But I soon got rid of my doubts. Fang Xueer has a very close relationship with Gu Yanran and Xiao Yuqi. When I went back the day before yesterday, Fang Xueer was afraid that she had heard news about me from Gu Yanran, so she came after me.
Arrived at Maoshan.
When I think of Fang Xueer's heartbroken look when I left last time, I can't help but feel a little guilty.
