Half-Tried Deity - Chapter 137-2
Chapter 137: Recruiting Apprentices (Part 2)
Later, when her mother died, her father directly drove her out of the house, calling her a “monster”. She begged for food until the Liu Family. At the beginning, the Liu’s butler would give her some food, but one time he was caught by Young Master Liu. Young Master Liu grabbed a handful of loess and poured it into her bowl, and forced Qiao Qiao to drink it up, otherwise he would file a report to the government accusing her of stealing things from Liu Family..
Qiao Qiao was young and didn’t know that Young Master Liu was just scaring her, so she really drank the porridge mixed with loess that night.
Seeing Young Master Liu laughing at her before leaving, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt her eyes were blood red at the time, and then she lost consciousness.
Qiao Qiao didn’t know that because of that incident, she had accidentally planted a monster seed into Young Master Liu’s body.
Qi Huan couldn’t help sighing after listening to Qiao Qiao’s story. After Qiao Qiao’s eyes had completely turned into monster pupils, her pupils became silver. Her silver pupils actually looked almost the same as the whites of the eyes, which was quite scary at first glance. How could ordinary people know that these eyes had supernatural powers, they only knew that Qiao Qiao was different from others, so she was a monster.
“I ask you, do you think shifu will accept Qiao Qiao as an apprentice?” Although Qing Yun Sect had always liked to accept disciples with problematic backgrounds, Qiao Qiao was a little different. Her background was completely fine, but her identity was the problematic one. She was like a problematic child.
“You can ask him.” Mo Ye shrugged, not commenting on Qi Huan’s thoughts. Besides Qi Huan, he had no interest in anyone.
Looking at the mortal world with cold eyes, immortals and devils were essentially the same. Only Qi Huan still had the softness of a human heart. Perhaps this was why Liu Dao selected her alone.
She did not need to respect heaven and did not need to fear immortal ghosts. This was Qi Huan, his Qi Huan.
“Then I’ll take in Qiao Qiao first, and I will ask when I meet him again another day.” Qi Huan liked to do things before informing her shifu.
At the mention of Qi Huan wanting to accept Qiao Qiao as a disciple, Qiao Qiao immediately cried out loud. She never thought about it. Not only did Qi Huan save her but also accepted her as an apprentice. She had never received this kind of kindness. This kind of kindness was the kindness that couldn’t be repaid in a lifetime.
Neither Qi Huan nor Mo Ye had apprentices before. When Qi Huan became Xu Kong Zi’s apprentice at the time, it was merely an invitation from Xu Kong Zi. At that time, Xu Kong Zi’s status was high and scary. And whatever worshipping things like worship the sect, worship the heavens and earth, all of these she had never done before, she even gave Ling Feng Zi a cup of tea.
Therefore, Qi Huan thought for a while, and finally decided to follow the teaching she saw on TV. She asked Qiao Qiao to pour her a cup of tea, then she took a sip, and asked Qiao Qiao to bow down to her, and that was it for the apprenticeship ceremony.
Who would have thought that Qiao Qiao, who would have become a rampant demon in the immortal world tens of thousands of years later, would have her entire life changed only with a cup of tea to worship her shifu in a small place called Jinxiu City.
After taking a sip of the bitter and astringent tea, that no one knew how long it had been left outside, Qi Huan held her breath, with tears in her eyes, swallowed the sip that was comparable to venom.
She was anxious to have Qiao Qiao to be her apprentice, so she drank the tea regardless of how long it was left by the last owner. Will I have a stomachache? She rubbed her lower abdomen, feeling a little worried.
The apprenticeship ceremony was over, Qi Huan was also a little relieved. Actually, she saw Qiao Qiao so pitiful, so she suddenly had the thought of accepting apprentices, anyway, she was self-willed, presumably her shifu was already prepared mentally, so what if Qiao Qiao had monster pupils, she was her apprentice now, and whoever dared to bully her in the future, as her shifu, Qi Huan would not allow that to occur at all.
Of course, if she couldn’t beat them, then she would ask Qiao Qiao to run together with her.
After accepting the apprentice, Qi Huan suddenly realized a problem. How was she going to teach QIao Qiao?
Her shifu had never done anything to help her before, so she asked her Junior Nephew to give her a bunch of books for her to choose. She had basically self-studied her way in cultivation.
But how should she teach Qiao Qiao? Qi Huan didn’t have any books with her now, and even if she had, could Qiao Qiao understand what it said?
As a result, they stared at each other in the study room. After Qiao Qiao was cleaned, she looked like a charming girl. She was a little thin, she had no muscles in her arms, and she had a sharp chin, but she looked much more lively in the little red dress Qi Huan had just bought for her.
“Ahem, Qiao Qiao, or… how about, let’s learn to read first?” At the beginning, it seemed that she had learned to read first and then the immortal law, so Qi Huan believed that one should learn the words in cultivation first.
Qiao Qiao blinked and looked at Qi Huan suspiciously, “Shifu, I can write!”
