My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 291 Destined

The smile on Shen Ming's face gradually faded and became calm, with a hint of grief and sadness in his eyes.

The old city god could sense the obvious change in his mood and was shocked: "Could it be that... But how could this be? His cultivation is considered to be above average, and he has the support of the sect behind him, so how could it be..."

He was overwhelmed with emotions and decided not to ask about it anymore.

But seeing that Shen Ming seemed immersed in memories and unable to extricate himself, he frowned slightly, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Everyone has his own destiny, which is the way of heaven. There are many unpredictable things in the world, and they cannot be easily shaken by human power."

"Everything is destined at birth, and will complete its mission at the right time and place. All humans can do is to adapt to it. It is destiny and time."

"So... don't be bound by the past..."

Shen Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "It's destined~"

"It's destined..."

Jiang Yan, who was beside the two of them in a dream, repeated it and fell silent.

"It's destiny, it's destined~ It feels a bit like my life."

"I could have continued my journey, but I was chased by a witch and luckily I turned back to Lianshan City."

'Then, at the right time, in the right place, and at the right opportunity, I met Shen Ming and brought him back to the Immortal Gate...'

"Really~ I can't make any mistakes~"

Jiang Yan looked up at the sky with some emotion. At this moment, the dark clouds had parted and the sky was clear and blue without a single cloud.

Just like Shen Ming's eyes, pure and flawless, so charming~

Shen Ming remained silent, muttering something, but no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, revealing a strange smile? But it quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Grandpa is right. Shen Ming has learned a lot."

She bowed with both hands to salute the old city god, and the other party responded with courtesy.

"I'm not teaching you, I'm just afraid that you might feel depressed and say that."

The old City God seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment. After all, he thought that he had enlightened a former junior, so naturally he would feel much better.

He stroked his beard and stood up:

"In that case, I will go back now. I just wanted to say hello and make some friends, haha~"

"Well~ If Shen Ming has time in the future, he will visit Grandpa~"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll set up tea and wait for you anytime~"

The old city god stroked his beard, chuckled, turned around and left. After Shen Ming watched him go away, he turned into a beam of light and suddenly disappeared on the spot!

Not leaving any trace!

…………

"What a fast escape method, what a brilliant breath-hiding technique. I never thought that the Ancient Immortal Sect would produce such a monster, and this person actually knows nothing about it~"

"Ah...it seems that we are ignorant. After nearly a hundred years of getting along, we are no longer worthy. It seems that we need to send some trusted disciples to the outside world to inquire about the situation~"

At the ruins of the former City God Temple, Yi and C sighed loudly as they watched Shen Ming disappear in the distance, but their words hinted at someone wanting to hear them.

Shang Nian stood beside Leng Xin with a normal expression, not seeming to be affected at all.

He raised his hand holding the pink cloud mirror.

"Your stuff"

Leng Xin also remained calm and took the cloud mirror in his hand. Then he turned around and left, holding Li Qiaoer's hand, taking Qin Xiangling with him.

There was no language, action or eye contact during the process.

"Xiao Xin..."

Shang Nian subconsciously reached out his hand, but ultimately failed to take the next step. He silently withdrew his hand with a gloomy look in his eyes...

After a while, he turned around and looked at B and C behind him.

B: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

C: "I used up too much energy just now to suppress the demon. I'm going to go and regulate my breathing."

The two of them escaped, and only he and the old city god who had just returned were left at the scene...

"Hey~"

He sighed, turned to greet the old city god, and his face returned to its calm state.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything unusual here?"

The old city god carefully felt it and then said leisurely:

"Nothing unusual, he died completely, I can be sure of that this time~"

"After all, he is just a remnant soul. Even if he was in his prime, forcing the passage open would have cost him half his life, not to mention that he is only a remnant soul now~"

Shangnian nodded: "That's good. Then, old man, do you feel that you have been affected in any way? For example..."

"It doesn't matter~ Although I am the same city god as him, and I replaced his divinity and possessions so that he could not be resurrected, I have never had any contact with him from beginning to end. At most, I have some sense of connection with him~"

"This has no effect on me, and I have many believers to help me stabilize, so it will not affect me at all~"

Shangnian looked at the old City God quietly, and seeing the smile between his brows, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mr. Old Man...seems very happy today?"

The old city god stroked his long beard and smiled faintly:

"I solved a major hidden danger and met an ancient person. Although there are still some imperfections, it finally made me feel relieved~"

"My mood naturally improves as well, hahaha~"

Shangnian thought about it and didn't say anything more. He was also in a relaxed mood at the moment, and the burden in his heart was also lightened a little.

"That's good..."

………………

At this moment, Lianshan City is at the busy street leading to Lingxiang Realm.

A loving "couple" walked side by side. The man had an "ordinary" appearance and an unremarkable figure, but his overall temperament had an indescribable sense of elegance and easy-goingness that made people feel friendly at first glance.

There is a small black gourd pendant hanging around his waist, which sways with his movements, which is quite interesting.

The woman next to him held his arms, clinging to him like a naive and romantic child, acting coquettishly and making trouble for him, but occasionally she would be hit on the head by the other party, but she would just shrink her neck and take it, and then continue to do what she wanted.

The man looked troubled and helpless, but there was a look of doting in his eyes.

…………

"Husband~"

"........."

"Ms. sir~"

"........."

"Sir~"

"Hey~ Don't call me in that tone! And, we're just pretending!"

Jiang Yan couldn't help rubbing his arms, which were covered with goose bumps. Every time he heard Shen Ming talk to him in that tone, he would always feel as if ants were crawling all over his body.

Shen Ming smiled slyly, leaned over him and picked up the naughty long hair on the side of his cheek, shaking it back and forth in his hand, teasing his neck~

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Are you tired of your wife and falling in love with the new?"

Jiang Yan: (ー_ー)
