"Ah, giggle, the fish is smiling at me.”A crisp child's voice came from not far away. A wooden boat carrying three people slowly slid over from the water.
Sitting at the bow of the boat was a mischievous young man wearing a rabbit mask. He was sitting at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face. He was barefooted, and his legs were swinging from time to time, stirring up waves of water. Seated in the boat was a peerlessly beautiful woman. Her elegant and smooth brownish-red hair was particularly eye-catching. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were looking in the direction where the young man was sitting. Her gaze was a little erratic, and it was unknown what she was thinking. These two were Chun Ye Feng and Zhao Mei Ming. Standing at the stern of the boat was a white-haired old man wearing a straw raincoat and a yellow-brown bamboo hat. He was currently looking at the young man at the bow with a kind smile, as if he was infected by his innocence.
Zhao Mei Ming opened her mouth." Hey, kid, why do you want to be my disciple?"”A beautiful and pleasant note flew out from her lips, intoxicating people like a beautiful piece of music, making their hearts clear.
"You're strong. Is there a need to ask?" Kaede Haruno, who was sitting in front of the boat and playing with the water, replied impatiently. It was as if he was answering an idiot's question. He looked a little unwilling.
Zhao Meiming was annoyed by his disdainful tone." Brat, I haven't said that I want to take you as my disciple yet. If you talk to me in this tone again, I'll throw you off the boat!"”His tone was a little vicious.
"You won't. You're a good person.”Kaede Haruno suddenly said seriously.
A good person? Upon hearing Kaede Haruno's words, Zhao Mei Ming couldn't help but recall the scene that happened at the border between the Country of Waves and the Country of Fire four hours ago.
"Sister, are you lonely at night?"
"Little brat, do you want to die?" Zhao Meiming couldn't stand being teased by a child for no reason.
"I know you won't kill me." Kaede Haruno said with certainty, as if he didn't care about Zhaomei Ming's threat.
"Why?" Zhao Mei Ming couldn't help but feel curious about this masked youth.
"Because you are a good person." His tone was still as sure as ever.
Zhao Meiming was stunned. Because I'm a good person? "Why do you think so?" In the end, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Feelings. The feeling in my heart when I see you tells me: You are a good person."
"Stop flattering me. Tell me quickly, what's the matter? Don't tell me any more nonsense.”Zhao Mei Ming couldn't stand Kaede Haruno's mushy words anymore and interrupted him.
"I want to take you as my master." The young man said in a rare serious tone. He looked at Zhao Meiming with eyes full of desire and anticipation.
Zhao Meiming was only slightly stunned by Kaede Haruno's answer for a moment before she recovered. After all, she was very powerful. In the past, many people wanted her to be their master, but she rejected them all on the grounds that she was not strong enough and needed to focus on cultivation. Just as she was about to reject Kaede Haruno, she saw the hopeful look in his eyes and could not bring herself to say it. " What's your motive for taking me as your master?"”As if she was afraid that he didn't understand, she hurriedly added," What do you want?”
"I obtained the method to become stronger." Kaede Haruno replied firmly.
"Then, the last question, what is the purpose of becoming stronger?”Zhao Meiming had asked this question to too many people, and the answers were nothing more than power, money, and so on. Even if some people didn't say it out loud, when they answered this question, the attentive Zhao Meiming could see the insincerity in their eyes. Therefore, until now, no one's answer could satisfy her.
" Uh..." Kaede Haruno seemed to be stumped by Zhaomei's last question. He lowered his head and pondered over something.
Zhaoming felt that she was going to be disappointed again. Just as she was about to leave, Kaede Haruno raised his head high, his eyes full of fighting spirit and hope." I got strong so that I could protect the people I cherish the most and help those who need help."”The sincerity in his eyes was genuine.
Zhao Meiming heard Kaede Haruno's answer and suddenly felt a string in her heart being gently plucked. The vibration caused ripples in her heart. From an objective point of view, Kaede Haruno's thinking seemed a little narrow, but it was very real and simple. It was tens of thousands of times better than those hypocritical people who talked about the country, the public, and their hearts were filled with their own self-interest. Besides, if you don't love your family, how can you love everyone? If he didn't start by protecting the people he cherished, how could he be expected to protect the illusory concept of the country? Looking at Kaede Haruno's sincere eyes, she knew that he was not lying to her. Eyes were the windows to the soul. She could not find a trace of hypocrisy or impurity in Kaede Haruno's eyes. There was only sincerity.
Zhao Meiming was very satisfied with Kaede Haruno's answer, but she still didn't want to accept him as a disciple so easily. Otherwise, as a master, it would be very embarrassing. As the saying goes, things that are easy to obtain are often not cherished. Love was like this, so was apprenticeship. Hence, Zhaomei Ming couldn't help but tease Kaede Haruno." If you want to be my disciple, you can. Hurry up and give me your master's ceremony!"”Zhao Meiming crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked away casually, as if she didn't care about Haruno Feng. However, she was secretly observing Haruno Feng's reaction.
Kaede Haruno hesitated when he heard Zhao Meiming's request. He was silent for a long time, and when Zhao Meiming was about to run out of patience, he finally gritted his teeth and said regretfully," Forgive me for not agreeing." A man has gold on his knees. He worships heaven and earth and his parents.”The loneliness in his eyes made the audience cry.
Zhao Meiming was shocked. He didn't expect the youth in front of him to have such a backbone. This made her feel helpless and she did not know what to do. In fact, she had already acknowledged this disciple in her heart, but she could not rush to make him her disciple in this situation. That would be too degrading.
"Then say a few good words to me and praise me. That should be enough, right?”Zhao Meiming finally couldn't help but make a request that didn't seem like a request to her. He had thought that Kaede Haruno would be able to complete it easily.
Kaede Haruno turned around and left immediately after hearing this request. This action confused Zhaomei Ming, who was waiting for Kaede Haruno to praise her. "Hey, where are you going?" Zhaomei Ming called out to Kaede Haruno, who was about to leave.
"Go home." Kaede Haruno replied matter-of-factly.
"Go home? Aren't you going to take me as your master?" Kaede Haruno's answer made Zhaomei Ming even more confused.
"Do I have to praise you before I acknowledge you as my master?”
"Yes, that's right." Zhao Meiming, who couldn't figure out what Kaede Haruno meant, answered truthfully.
"Oh, then I'd better go home.”Kaede Haruno's tone was as calm and ordinary as if he had gone to the market to buy groceries but had not bought anything back.
"Wha…what?" Zhao Meiming couldn't believe her ears and said uncertainly," Can you repeat what you just said?”
"Oh, I say, then I'd better go home.”He repeated the words again and turned to leave, ignoring the stunned Zhao Mei Ming.
