Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chapter 173 Master

Leng Youran is not as free and easy as him.

Maybe it’s because I feel Lingyin is so lovely.

He has lived for nearly a thousand years and has never taken a human life. The only cause and effect involved is them.

Especially her.

"From now on I'll call you Grandpa, okay?"

Lingyin's heart trembled.

He had never heard such a name before.

Over the years, he had heard the most about the master, the Taoist priest...

Because of his status, they were mostly respectful and rarely showed any interest in getting close to him.

Now, when he heard the little girl call him "Grandmaster", his already cold heart began to feel a little different.

The words he wanted to refuse turned into, "Forget it, Taizu. This makes me look too old. If you don't mind, you can call me Master from now on!"

When he said this, not only Leng Youran was shocked, but even Lingyin himself was shocked.

His hands rested on his knees helplessly, and he was secretly annoyed at himself for saying such a thing.

He kept making excuses for himself in his heart, thinking that it must be because he missed the master who raised him in his previous life too much, and when he saw Leng You, he felt very close to him, so he decided to raise a child.

It must be like this, it must be.

After figuring this out, he looked at Leng Youran, who was not far from him, awkwardly and uneasily.

As for Leng Youran, ever since Lingyin said that, she has been watching his every move.

She was afraid that Lingyin had just spoken hastily and it didn't count.

What she just said came from the heart. She really respected him from the bottom of her heart and wanted her to be the Taizu.

Also, he was old enough for his grandfather to call him his adoptive father, so she felt no burden calling him Taizu.

As early as when she said that, she had already figured out how to tell her grandfather, but she didn't expect that he wanted to be her master.

"Okay, Master. Tomorrow I will tell my grandfather that you will be my only master from now on."

Lingyin felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he heard her answer. He stroked her hair with his dry hands, his face full of love, "Okay, you will be my only disciple in this life. But Master has nothing to teach you now. If you are willing to learn the I Ching, I can teach you, but..."

"I don't want to learn. I just want to be the master of my own destiny. I don't want to get involved in other people's destiny."

For her, knowing some things is not necessarily better than not knowing them.

Life is full of unknowns, so why bother intervening early?

"Well, actually, I don't want you to learn it either." These things are bound to have disadvantages and shortcomings, and what he lacks is family affection.

This was also the reason why he didn't want her to call him Taizu from the bottom of his heart.

If they became his grandfather's elders, they would be his family, and this might bring bad luck to them.

He didn't want to see this happen from the bottom of his heart.

"Master, are you tired? Let me help you rest for a while. The air in that room is very good, and you can see the gardens in front and behind the space."

"Well, I am a little tired, but I can go by myself. You should go and rest early too!"

Leng Youran wanted to go forward to see him off, but was firmly rejected by Lingyin.

I could only watch him stagger towards the room.

Only after he closed the door did Leng Youran look away and walk upstairs.

After hearing the noise of her coming upstairs, Lingyin relaxed his tense body. He leaned weakly against the door, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

With trembling hands, he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief and walked tremblingly to the bedside.

Lying on the familiar yet unfamiliar Simmons mattress, a smile from the heart spread across his pale face.

At this moment, he desperately wished he had more time.

Not for anything else, just for the little disciple he just accepted.

As I was thinking, I fell into a deep sleep.

Leng Youran had already returned to the room upstairs, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

She used her mental power to see clearly what was happening in Lingyin just now.

She really wanted to see him, but she knew that Lingyin didn't let her see him into the room because he didn't want her to worry.

She didn't dare appear in front of him, for fear of breaking the "secret" he wanted to hide.

Seeing that he had fallen into a deep sleep, Leng Youran withdrew his mental strength.

Thinking of the wooden sign that had just been left outside, he suddenly appeared beside the stone table where they had just met.

He picked up the wooden plaque on the table and gently rubbed the black Buddhist beads inside with his fingers.

May Master live longer, longer...

Early the next morning.

When Leng Youran helped Lingyin out of her yard, Old Man Leng was already waiting outside.

He was not very calm that night. He didn't know what the two of them talked about, nor did he know why Lingyin came this time.

When he saw Leng Youran walking out with someone, he was stunned at first. When he saw clearly what he was wearing, he took a few quick steps to meet the two of them.

The tone was full of uncertainty. "Ran'er, he is..."

Leng Youran smiled brightly, "Grandfather, this is my master!"

Lingyin also nodded immediately, "Yes, I am this girl's master."

Old Master Leng was stunned on the spot.

Master?

No!

Someone who could be his ancestor is now his granddaughter's master?

"Ji...Dao...Ling..." For a moment, Old Man Leng didn't know how to address Lingyin.

"Just call me You Xian from now on!"

You Xian?

laid back...

Leisurely...

Leng Youran suddenly thought of this for some reason.

The corners of his mouth lifted as he agreed, "Well, Master's name is You Xian, and mine is Youran. From now on, we will live a leisurely and carefree life."

Old Master Leng looked as shocked at this moment as Leng Youran did last night.

He didn't know what happened to them that night.

For example, why did the High Priest suddenly become like this?

For example, why did he suddenly accept You Ran as his apprentice?

I wanted to ask, but found that they seemed to have already discussed everything.

I could only respond, "Okay, from now on I will call you Mr. You."

No matter what happened between the two, Ling...Old Yu has now become the master of his granddaughter.

Now that he can live with them, he is very happy.

In the future, he will treat him like a grandfather or a father.

After figuring this out, Old Man Leng walked to You Xian's right side, held his other arm, and together with Leng Youran, they supported him on both sides as they walked towards the front yard.

When they arrived, everyone living in the Leng family was there.

Even the three Leng Yuyang brothers and Zhuang Chenxu who were outside rushed back.

Fearing that the two would be confused, Old Master Leng explained, "Your eldest brother and his friends heard that your grandmother and her friends were coming, so they rushed back. They left after breakfast."

"Well, actually, those places are already on track, so there's no need for Big Brother and the others to be so anxious."

"Don't say that. Those naughty boys finally have something to do, so let them hone their skills outside. Do you really expect them to rely on you for everything?" Old Master Leng disapproved.
