Chapter 226 Senior Brother
Chapter 226 Senior Brother
"I like this child very much. She has a kind personality and is loyal and righteous. I want to make an exception for her. Maybe, I will only have you two disciples." The old ancestor did not think that she would be rejected. Under her gaze, Li Yirou clenched her fists unconsciously.
At that moment, she thought of that strange dream.
"Disciple...I am willing." It doesn't matter, Ji Shiyan said it's okay, the ancestor is such a righteous and powerful formation master, and he hasn't seen her space, so he won't have the intention to kill people and steal treasures.
Besides, the old ancestor seemed like the kind of person who disdained lying. She said that she liked her kind nature, so it should be true. She glanced at the Jindan cultivator beside her.
He smiled a seemingly sincere smile, "Alright, Master likes me, I will definitely take good care of you and learn from your kindness."
Disciples of the same master will not address each other based on their cultivation level. He and Li Yiru can just call each other brothers.
As he said this, he put his arm around her shoulders affectionately. Li Yirou suppressed the discomfort in her heart and stepped away unnoticeably.
She didn't like this male cultivator very much. He was smart and eloquent, but too hypocritical and looked down on people from the bottom of his heart, which made her feel uncomfortable.
He deliberately said that the master just liked her personality, and was also reminding her to see the reason for her existence.
"Since you are willing, let's hold the apprenticeship ceremony together the day after tomorrow." The ancestor handed her a storage ring, "A small gadget, a meeting gift. There are also things for inner disciples. After the apprenticeship ceremony is over, you can find a chance to pick up your friends first."
"Thank you, Master!" Li Yirou took it, feeling excited but also a little worried.
The Jindan male cultivator looked at her, "Okay, I'll take you back to the cave with me." He seemed happy to take care of her, "Junior brother, my name is Situ Chuan, what's yours?"
"Senior Brother, I am down there." Hearing her call herself "down there", Situ Chuan was satisfied.
"Master has to go back too. It's a good opportunity for us to listen to the happenings in the Western Realm together." The old ancestor led them back to the cave and asked a few more questions about the situation in the Western Realm on the way.
Situ Chuan finally sighed, "How dare he pretend to obey but actually disobey! The lower world should be more convenient for living. Even mortals without spiritual roots can easily survive there, but he turned it into a mess."
"Yes, I just came to Wuji Palace, and I thought the things here were so cheap." Li Yirou added silently, "But the price of spiritual plants is higher than that in the Western Realm. At that time, I thought that I must bring my friends over."
"Junior brother is really loyal and righteous." The Jindan cultivator sighed. Li Yirou seemed to hear him say this with gritted teeth. He probably looked down on her for becoming his junior brother just by caring about her good friends.
Unfortunately, the ancestor admired such people, but was not satisfied with her spiritual roots.
"It's my senior brother who takes such good care of me. I feel happier now that I have a master and senior brothers." After Li Yirou finished speaking, she looked at the old ancestor with admiration, a glimmer of tears in her eyes.
She acted up on purpose, so what could Situ Chuan do to her?
As expected, his expression froze, and he stopped smiling behind the ancestor. He felt very disgusted with Li Yirou.
"Fang Ye, you can live next to me." He took Li Yirou to the cave of Ancestor Tiancun. It was a rather exquisite courtyard with lush greenery. Li Yirou liked it as soon as she saw it.
The ancestor lived next to them, with a bamboo forest between them, so they did not disturb each other.
Situ Chuan was in the backyard, and Li Yiru was arranged to live in the small courtyard in the front.
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother." After she finished speaking, Situ Chuan suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "I wanted to be your only disciple, but you intervened."
"Master values me more than I can." Li Yirou lowered her head, but she kept recalling the dream in her heart.
There was also a senior brother who was very much liked by the ancestor, but perhaps his arrogance and scheming were too obvious.
So the ancestor specially accepted her as his disciple and told him what kind of disciple he liked, hoping that even if he was pretending, he could be as "kind" as her.
Really, she was used to make up the numbers. Li Yirou was very worried that the ancestor would not really push them all into the seal in the future...
But it’s just a dream, and many things are different. Let’s take a look first. In short, the ancestor seems serious now, but this senior brother is very weird.
Li Yirou was in the cave, imprinted with her consciousness, and sent a communication talisman to Ji Shiyan, but she didn't expect him to reply, "See you the day after tomorrow."
She thought that one of them had woken up, so Ji Shiyan wanted to come and see her, but she didn't take it seriously, put aside all distractions, and further consolidated her cultivation.
Two days later, Li Yirou changed into the clothes of an inner disciple, thinking that she was just going to the ancestor's house for a formality.
Unexpectedly, Situ Chuan brought him to the auditorium.
"Junior brother, please don't embarrass Master and me." Although he said so, he looked like he was ready to watch a good show.
There were many guests from various major sects, among whom was Ji Shiyan who followed Qin Yunzhou.
"Congratulations, old friend Tiancun. If you don't accept any disciples, it's fine. But now you have a pair." A Yuanying cultivator said congratulatory words, "It's a little gift for the two youngsters. Please accept it quickly."
What he took out were two spiritual stones, chalcedony. Chalcedony is the center of the spiritual stone vein. After the spiritual energy is exhausted, it can absorb spiritual energy to recover by itself. It also contains Yuan spiritual energy, which can be used as a treasure to replenish spiritual power during battle.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor. I will definitely turn your kindness into motivation, practice hard, and live up to the expectations of Master and you!" Situ Chuan first responded smoothly, and Li Yirou was amazed.
This high EQ response seemed to be intelligently synthesized. He is definitely the most polite and talkative child in the eyes of the elders.
Li Yirou also took it with both hands, "Thank you very much. Your thoughts are precious, and the gift is even more precious. I will definitely work hard like my senior brother and live up to your kindness."
She managed to utter a word of thanks, and Situ Chuan looked at her in surprise, as if he had not expected that she was not stage-frightened.
Qin Yunzhou also gave them gifts. Li Yiru winked at Ji Shiyan, and Ji Shiyan smiled politely, pretending to be quite serious.
After Li Yiru and Situ Chuan paid their respects to the old ancestor and made their master-disciple commitment to the statue, the old ancestor lit the soul lamps for them.
If an accident happens but the soul lamp is not extinguished, it means the disciple is still alive and the master will try his best to save him.
If something really happens, the sect will definitely investigate it thoroughly.
"I have only wanted you two to be my disciples throughout my life, so today, I will offer sacrifices to the gods and accept you as my personal disciples. Tiancun will teach you two disciples wholeheartedly and love them as if they were my own children.
In this world of cultivation, you must not use my reputation to cause trouble, or I will punish you severely. But if anyone dares to bully you two without reason, don't blame me for protecting you."
Patriarch Tiancun's speech was extremely domineering, but there were only sounds of congratulations at the scene.
After she finished speaking, she lovingly touched the top of Li Yirou's head as she knelt on the ground, and her eyes focused more on her.
Situ Chuan showed a bit of jealousy, and he and Li Yirou responded in unison: "Disciple will not let Master down."
Li Yirou was slightly moved. The ancestor actually swore to the statue.
