Chapter 9: A Dragon City and a Thousand Mountains [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The campfire crackled and the temperature in the cave gradually rose.

"I don't blame you, Master."

Wei Mingqi's hands moved lightly, and his voice was also: "I only blame myself."

Xie Beiling turned her head sideways.

"You are young."

She said with relief in her tone: "Don't go astray because of this matter, leave everything to me, I will bring Li He back."

"..."

Wei Mingqi's eyes flickered.

He already had a premonition that it was not a good idea for him to stay with Xie Beiling now, as he would be a burden to her for every day he stayed.

Even if Li He was fine, it would not be easy for Xie Beiling to go to Lu to save her, not to mention that she had to carry a burden with her.

"Wei Mingqi."

The woman in front of him suddenly called his name.

Wei Mingqi came back to his senses, only to see that pale face was full of determination: "Promise me that you won't go astray."

"what?"

Wei Mingqi blinked and quickly assured: "No, no, I promised Master that I would be a hero who serves the country and the people—"

"I don't need you to serve the country and the people."

Xie Beiling interrupted him and turned back, her voice lowered a little: "I swore in my heart that I would teach you well. You...as long as you don't do anything against your conscience, you can live any way you want."

Wei Mingqi's heart suddenly softened.

This woman was even more gentle than he thought, so gentle that she was fine as long as he didn't do anything harmful. As her apprentice, how could he withstand such education?

"When I grow up, I want to marry many wives. Is this against the will of heaven?" Wei Mingqi boldly revealed his ambition.

"..."

Xie Beiling clenched her fist, but finally let go silently:

"Not counting."

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to add: "But you are not allowed to force decent women. If I hear you, I will clean up your family even if you run away to the ends of the earth."

Wei Mingqi didn't pay attention to the previous part, because judging from his modeling after growing up, it was more likely that he was forced by a decent woman.

In contrast,

"Master, you finally agreed to accept me as your disciple." Wei Mingqi was so excited that his hands moved faster.

"..."

Xie Beiling said nothing with her back to him, but Wei Mingming kept staring at her, and finally noticed that she nodded her head slightly.

"Master."

After being happy, Wei Mingqi restrained his smile and said seriously: "No matter where I go or what I encounter in the future, I promise you that I will never go against my conscience."

He couldn't see Xie Beiling's expression at the moment because his back was turned, but after a moment, he heard a "hmm" from the front.

"Just remember."

This was probably the most harmonious night for the master and the disciple.

until--

"somebody is coming."

Xie Beiling suddenly pulled up his Taoist robe and picked up the sword beside him.

Wei Mingqi had just promised her to be a good person, but now he was furious and wondered if this group of people would ever stop.

He was right not to go against his conscience.

But his conscience has flexible standards, and this group of people really pushed him into a corner. When he grows up, they will go door to door to find the suspects.

When the little one beats the big one,
Beat the old one in front of the elder one.

Slightly——

The sound of wheels crushing the remaining snow slowly approached. The person who came was unhurried. Soon, an old man in a black robe walked into the cave.

Seeing him, Xie Beiling, who had been on high alert, relaxed a little and bowed first:
"Wang Gong."

"Thank you, Xiao Daoshou. After so many years, you are even more elegant than before."

The old man who replied had a kind face. Although he was so old that his hair and beard were all white, his body was still tall and strong, standing like a white ape.

Although Wei Mingqi was a little unfamiliar with this person at first, after hearing Xie Beiling's name, a person immediately appeared in his mind.

A dragon city and ten thousand feet mountain.

There is also a saying in the martial arts world: "A name that will live forever", which refers to the Wanren Mountain, which once stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhen Qianqiu and was regarded as the two great mountains of martial arts.

Of course, the latter never acknowledged this "reputation".

Because the old man was a eunuch who had served three dynasties and guarded the palace for sixty years, and was also the "Regent" entrusted by the former emperor.

In the background of "Four Symbols", the last stop of the young palace master who is determined to challenge the secular world is Longcheng.

then……

A hundred punches destroyed the ten thousand feet high mountain, and there is no more regent in the world.

Since then, the Guanzhong court, which lost its pillar of defense, has been in turmoil, the entire secular world is trembling, and no one can control Chaotian Palace anymore, and the game has ushered in the prelude to chaos.

Of course, none of this has happened yet.

It is hard to say whether it will happen in the future, but the arrival of Wanrenshan, a milestone character, also shows that the Guanzhong court, the largest force in the world, did not treat the prophecy as a joke, and even attached extraordinary importance to Wei Mingqi. "Is this the Lord of Chaotian Palace? Well, he is a little thinner, but his bones are excellent."

After greeting Xie Beiling, Wan Renshan cast his gaze over:

"No wonder he was able to beat me, the master, to death with random punches in the future. He truly has the qualities of a dragon and a phoenix."

"..."

This kind of praise is weird and scary.

Wei Mingqi just gave an awkward smile, wondering whether he should get close to the old eunuch, when he saw Xie Beiling coming over and protecting him behind him.

"He is only eight years old now—"

The good woman said firmly: "I can teach him well."

Wanrenshan nodded with a smile.

"I know he's only eight years old. If he were ten years older, I wouldn't waste my time talking to you and would just kill him right away."

"..."

Seeing the silence between the master and the disciple, Wan Renshan sighed and said, "In fact, according to my opinion, his future has been exposed by Master Taixuan, and everything will be easier in the future, so there is no need to worry too much. But -"

"The Queen Mother is worried about this."

Hearing this, Xie Beiling silently clenched his sword.

With Wan Renshan's martial arts attainments, this little trick could certainly not be hidden from him. He waved his hand, signaling Xie Beiling not to be nervous.

"Since it's me who's here, it means there's still room for improvement. Little Taoist Priest, can you listen to it?"

"Please speak, Lord Wan."

"he--"

Wan Renshan pointed at Wei Mingqi and said, "You have to come back with me. This is the Queen Mother's bottom line. I can assure you that his life will not be in danger."

Xie Beiling frowned after hearing this.

This condition sounded good at first, and she also believed in the character of "A Dragon City and Ten Thousand Mountains", but not having to worry about her life was one thing, and how she lived was also very important.

Being under house arrest for a lifetime, living as a useless person means you have no worries about your life.

If it was a week ago, she might have agreed, but now they are master and disciple, how could she let Wei Mingqi live like that?

"no--"

"Okay! I'll go back with you!"

At the critical moment, Wei Mingqi spoke behind her back, giving his master a stab in the back.

"You have no place to speak!"

Xie Beiling turned sideways and spoke in an unprecedentedly stern tone:
"You stay aside!"

"..."

Wei Mingqi was not frightened by her. She took the initiative to spread her "wings" and walked towards Wanrenshan.

Behind him, Xie Beiling grabbed him again.

Wei Mingqi turned around.

"Master."

He looked up at Xie Beiling and reached out to hold the hand that was holding his clothes: "I promised you that I would not go astray in this life and that I would live with a clear conscience. You also promised me that you would let me choose my own way of living."

Every word that followed was stuck in my throat, as hard as a knife.

“…This is what I chose.”

Gently take away that delicate hand.

"Next time we meet, I will be taller than you, and you won't have to hold me in your arms anymore. Master, I don't want to be a demon anymore. I want the world to reconsider my name."

"You, you must be well too. Even if you can't save Li He, you can't get yourself into trouble. Just wait for me to grow up. I will personally collect Dongfang Ming's debt in the future."

After saying that, he turned around immediately, not wanting Xie Beiling to see his red eyes.

He might dream about this good woman in the future, but even so, he could no longer stay with Xie Beiling.

He can't be a burden, he can't drag down those who are good to him. He needs to grow up and become stronger so that he can fulfill his promise to Xie Beiling.

The Guanzhong court is a big tree.

Wei Mingqi believed in his own value. He would never be a useless person under house arrest for his entire life. He would just lie dormant for a few years.

When he proves himself, that will be the day when a dragon emerges from shallow water.

"Oh, the youthful vigor and vitality, I am so envious." Sitting in the carriage, Wan Renshan beside him suddenly sighed.

This is a thigh.
But Wei Mingqi didn't want to pay any attention to the old eunuch now, until the horse in front was waving the whip and was about to set off, he finally couldn't help but lift the curtain.

At the entrance of the cave, a figure was reflected in the dim light of the fire.

"..."

Wei Mingqi stared for a moment, then finally let down the curtain and set off for Beijing.

We will meet again one day.

This year, he was eight years old.
