This was a very strange thing. The old Celestial Master was usually kind and amiable to other disciples, but his attitude towards Ruoshui was very different. Not only was he not kind at all, but he was also very strict. If Ruoshui made the slightest mistake, the old heavenly master would definitely beat him up.
Because of this, Ruoshui was not afraid of anyone in Mao Mountain, but the old heavenly master!
Carefully tidying up her clothes, Ruo Shui carefully walked into the hall.
Ruoshui had just entered the hall when the old heavenly master opened his eyes. It was a pair of bright eyes that did not look cloudy at all. On the contrary, they were full of spiritual light, like the eyes of a newborn baby. It was impossible to tell that these were the eyes of an old man who was close to a hundred years old.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Ruo Shui subconsciously shivered, and a flattering smile appeared on her tender little face.""Celestial Master, you called for me."
The old heavenly master nodded. When he saw the smile on Ruoshui's face, he frowned. Ruoshui was so frightened that she quickly wiped the smile off her face and subconsciously took a step back while covering her buttocks.
The old heavenly master was amused by Ruoshui's actions. He waved his hand and pointed at a futon not far away from him."Come here, Ruoshui, sit here.”
"Oh."
Ruo Shui nodded and obediently sat on the futon in front of the old heavenly master. She subconsciously revealed a flattering smile and asked,"Celestial Master, why did you call me over?”
Ruoshui knew very well who was the biggest backer in the entire Mao Mountain. Of course, it was none other than the old heavenly master in front of him! As long as he clung tightly to the old heavenly master's thigh, he could ignore everyone else.
"How have you been recently?" The old heavenly master asked. His aged voice contained a touch of deep concern.
The moment he saw Ruoshui, he could remember the scene where he had picked her up by the river. The first time he saw Ruoshui, he felt that he and Ruoshui were fated. Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring Ruoshui back to the mountain gate. The original plan to travel around the world was canceled because of Ruoshui's arrival. From that day until now, it had been 16 years. The old heavenly master had never left the mountain again. No one knew why. Only he knew that he was doing this to take care of Ruoshui.
Although he was not related to Ruoshui by blood, the old heavenly master had long regarded Ruoshui as his son and grandchild. The clever Ruoshui was also deeply loved by him. However, he was worried that Ruoshui would become too cunning when she grew up, so he was usually strict with him. However, everything was for Ruoshui's sake.
In two days, it would be his hundredth birthday. The old heavenly master did not know when Ruoshui's birthday was. Although he could calculate Ruoshui's eight characters according to divination, he did not do so. Instead, he set Ruoshui's birthday on the same day as his birthday. Therefore, Ruoshui would turn sixteen in two days.
Sixteen years old meant adulthood, which meant that Ruoshui had grown up! The old heavenly master knew very well that there was no one in the world who could live forever. He was already old and could not take care of Ruoshui forever. Thus, he wanted to hear Ruoshui's thoughts so that he could arrange his future path.
Hearing that the old heavenly master was concerned about how she was doing, Ruoshui subconsciously complained,""What else can I do? Going up and down the mountain every day, closing the door and opening the door was so boring!”
"I feel bored!" The old heavenly master nodded. He was not angry at Ruoshui's casual attitude in front of him. Instead, he continued to ask,"Then what do you think is not boring?”
"It's just like what my senior brothers said!”Ruo Shui's eyes lit up, and she could not help but stand up from the praying mat, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she said,""Traveling the world, slaying demons and protecting the people!”
"Do you also want to kill demons?" The old Celestial Master smiled kindly and stroked his long white beard.""Do you know that slaying demons is a very dangerous job? I have sixteen disciples. Do you know how many of them are still alive in this world?”
Ruo Shui shook her head honestly. However, I only know of Senior Martial Brother One-Browed, Senior Martial Brother Lin, Junior Martial Brother Four-Eyed, and Junior Martial Brother Thousand Crane. I've never seen anyone else.”
The old Celestial Master nodded." You are right. Other than the five of them, the other disciples of mine who are still alive in this world are your Eldest Senior Brother Shi Jian and your Tenth Senior Sister Sugarcane Lady.”
"Big Senior Shi Jian? Tenth Senior Sister, Sugarcane Lady?" "Then why haven't I seen them come back to the mountain to see you?"”
The old Celestial Master replied softly," Your Tenth Senior Sister, Cane Lady, did not come back because I did not want her to come back. I took her in as a disciple because I felt sorry for her, so I had no choice but to let her join Mao Mountain. After she finished her studies, she was ordered by me not to return to the mountain before she left the mountain. As for you, you are the Eldest Senior Brother Shi Jian. Humph! Back then, I made a mistake and accepted him as my disciple. Although he is the strongest among your senior brothers, he is the one who disrespects his master the most. In the future, you can pretend that you don't have this eldest senior brother.”
"Oh! Ruoshui knows." Ruo Shui quickly nodded, obediently indicating that she would listen to the old heavenly master.
He was very worried that the old heavenly master would transfer his anger towards his eldest senior brother to him. If that happened, his butt would suffer again!
The old heavenly master quickly restrained the anger on his face and looked at Ruoshui gently.""I have 16 disciples, and only seven of them are still alive in this world. The remaining nine have all died on the path of slaying demons and devils. Ruoshui, do you still want to slay demons and devils?”
"Of course I do!" Ruoshui answered without hesitation,""I'm so bored staying in the mountains that I'm about to die. Even if I die killing demons, I won't die of boredom, right?”
"Hahahaha!" The old heavenly master was amused by Ruoshui and laughed out loud.""You little brat, you will know when you start killing demons and devils. It is not easy to kill demons and devils. However, since you have given your answer, I will give you a surprise on your birthday the day after tomorrow!”
"Surprise?" Ruo Shui's eyes lit up as she looked at the old heavenly master curiously.""What surprise?"
The old heavenly master shook his head with a smile and said mysteriously,""You'll know when the time comes! Since you feel that guarding the mountain gate is boring, then you should rest for the next two days and not go. The person guarding the mountain gate will make other arrangements.”
