My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 114 Don’t Go…

Jiang Yan looked apologetic and gently rubbed Shen Ming's head.

But my heart was pounding with emotion and I couldn't calm down at all.

"This... this is not right? It's fine that I'm special to Ming'er, but why am I treating Lingbao like this? This is Lingbao, after all."

'Even if her physique is special enough to make Sister Bao feel close to her, it shouldn't be so outrageous...'

"Could it be true what Ming'er said? What's mine is Master's, and what's Master's is mine..."

"That's too fucked up... Why do I have this ominous feeling that I'm born to be defeated? If she surpasses me in cultivation in the future, and then remembers the little things I did to her when we were young..."

"Wouldn't it be easy to control me? What can I do to her?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and his attitude towards Shen Ming became better~

Ahem, it’s better to be steady ~ I’m definitely not a coward!

.........

The sun was high in the sky, shining on the dense bamboo forest of Zhufeng Mountain.

The sunlight shines through the layers of bamboo leaves and falls on the ground in spots. The breeze brings a refreshing feeling, which is very comfortable.

In the meantime, two figures were slowly crawling halfway up the mountain.

"Ming'er, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Do you need a rest?"

"Huha~ Ah... Master... Shen Ming... Shen Ming feels that the biggest problem right now is not whether to rest or not..."

"Oh~ Ming'er, do you want to drink water?"

Jiang Yan was dressed in a relaxed manner, wearing a loose blue shirt, with his long hair casually tied up. He was holding a folding fan in his hand and strolling leisurely on the path in the woods with a comfortable expression, as if he was a scholar who came to the mountains for fun, feeling very comfortable.

From time to time, he would turn around and use kind words to care for Shen Ming, giving her encouragement all the time, just like a kind teacher and friend.

but…

"Master~ Shen Ming is not thirsty, so Master, can you share the things that Shen Ming has?"

Shen Ming was seen bending over slightly! She was carrying a package on her back that reached her thighs, a pendant hanging around her neck, a circle of rice cakes and snow cakes wrapped around her waist! She was leaning on a cane!

The small body was almost wrapped up.

Walking with difficulty on the steps covered with moss and dead leaves.

"Shen Ming... Shen Ming is almost dying of exhaustion... Master, don't you know how to share the burden?"

Jiang Yan stood tall and waved his folding fan.

"Hey, this is all for the purpose of tempering your mind and body. If I help you, I will actually harm you. After all, everything you learn in cultivation can only be acquired through your own practice, and I can't give it to you~ So... Ming'er, don't let your teacher down~"

Shen Ming was so tired that he was out of breath and his whole body was covered in sweat.

His clothes were almost sticking to his body, and every strand of hair was dripping with sweat as if it had been washed.

Along the way, Jiang Yan has been teaching her how to "walk". This kind of walking is of course an alternative method of practice.

It is also recorded in "Cultivation of Immortality from Beginner to Mastery", that is, mobilizing magic power to stimulate a certain part of the body with a special frequency and intensity, and then combining it with corresponding movement training, which can improve the body's strength to a limited extent!

Similar to body training.

But that book is ultimately a general commodity, not as good as the one-on-one personal guidance from a teacher like Jiang Yan, which can be adjusted and changed according to actual conditions.

The result is... Shen Ming is so awesome.

Don't think that Shen Ming only has this little bit of stuff on her now. In fact, Jiang Yan secretly added some stuff to her.

But every time, Shen Ming would get used to it after just quarter of an hour?

When Jiang Yan saw this good material, on the one hand he was a little surprised, but on the other hand he really wanted to see Shen Ming's limits.

So keep adding.

"Ming'er, don't stop. Keep going. I think you still have some energy left."

Jiang Yan encouraged him, but Shen Ming simply sat down on the ground, looking up at Jiang Yan with resentful eyes.

"Shen Ming is so tired. Shen Ming won't carry me anymore."

Jiang Yan quickly squatted beside her and fanned her with a fan.

"Are you tired, Ming'er?"

"Master, can't you see? Shen Ming has no strength left, and his whole body is covered in sweat, which makes him smell and sticky... He looks so embarrassed and ugly..."

"Yeah, it's really embarrassing..."

"Then Master, help Shen Ming carry it!"

Shen Ming's eyes sparkled, and he was about to take off the huge thing on his back!

However, Jiang Yan stood up directly, fanning himself with a folding fan and walking forward, but after three breaths, only a residual shadow remained.

Shen Ming stared at the receding figure in a daze, then heard a voice gradually fading away into his ears.

"Come on, Ming'er. I know you don't want others to see you in such a mess. I understand~"

"So I didn't see anything. I will go up there and wait for you."

"If you can't come up, then Ming'er will have to spend the night here."

The sound was getting farther and farther away... The figure was getting smaller and smaller, until it could no longer be seen...

.........

Jiang Yan's idea was very simple. He had been too doting on Shen Ming recently, and he couldn't go on like this, otherwise she would become dependent on him and ask for his help in everything, just like this time.

He clearly felt that Shen Ming still had a lot of strength left to use, but he just lay on the ground and refused to move.

If he had dared to do this when he was a child, his master would have whipped him like a top and there would have been no room for negotiation.

But if he really wanted to do it... then of course it was impossible for him to do it, and even if he forced Shen Ming, she probably wouldn't succumb to his tyranny...

So I can only choose to settle for the next best thing and run away! Use cold violence to urge and spur on ~

Don't you want to be lazy? Well, take your time and rest. I won't follow you and leave you alone.

Jiang Yan has used this method countless times in his past and present lives, and it works every time! It is always useful for dealing with children~

And considering Shen Ming's terrifying spiritual perception of him, Jiang Yan really left this time and stayed far away to ensure that Shen Ming would not sense him.

To be safe, Jiang Yan even resisted the urge to send out his divine sense to investigate, so as to achieve true isolation and leave only one target for Shen Ming.

…………

And on Shen Ming's side.

After she found out that Jiang Yan had left, she immediately chased after him. However, Jiang Yan was obviously walking very slowly, but he still disappeared from her sight little by little...

Because I ran too fast and didn't pay attention to my feet, I was tripped by a protruding rock and fell to the ground.

My knee is swollen from the fall...

"Master, why are you running? Wait for me!"

Shen Ming didn't care about the injury to his knee. Instead, he struggled to get up and limped towards the direction where Jiang Yan disappeared.

But she stopped running.

She couldn't run anymore...

At this moment, the whole world became strange.

Complex emotions such as loss, panic, fear, and anger welled up in his eyes.

She felt lost because Jiang Yan didn't pamper her as usual this time... and he didn't show up after she got hurt...

The fear was because he watched Jiang Yan disappear little by little, but he was powerless to catch up...

I was afraid because I couldn't sense the Master anymore...

The Master disappeared...truly disappeared...without a trace...nowhere to be found...

Only the unchanging bamboo forest around her was left to accompany her...

"Master, come out quickly and stop playing hide-and-seek with Shen Ming!"

"Hmph! Master, don't let Shen Ming find you! Otherwise, Shen Ming will bite you hard!"

"Master, where are you? Come out. Shen Ming won't bite you anymore."

Shen Ming looked around in confusion and fear, calling out to Jiang Yan, but he could only hear his own voice echoing through the forest.

She stopped calling, and for a moment everything was silent. A boundless feeling of desolation and silence instantly invaded her whole body and occupied her entire mind!
