I sat there scratching my head and thinking hard for a long time, but in the end I couldn't figure it out.
It must be said that Zhou Ling still cherishes her life very much. She knows that what her mother has foreseen is not simply encountering danger, but dying in such a cruel way. She has to reconsider the issue of whether to stay or go.
However, before she had thought it through, her master had already made clear arrangements for her.
"What are you worried about, little girl? I, your master, have traveled all over the country for so many years. Will I fall into this trap now? I'm telling you, I definitely won't. Do you know why I'm called Long Aotian?"
In fact, if he had his own protection, Zhou Li would usually feel at ease leaving his daughter to him for teaching.
Even Zhou Li tried to stop it this time, which shows that it is not a simple matter.
But the mother and daughter had already run far away to talk in private, and he couldn't follow them to eavesdrop. He had no choice but to guess the reason in his mind.
The mother and daughter are not ordinary monks. They have another identity called wizards.
All Long Aotian’s knowledge about wizards comes from movies, but he only knows some simple settings and he doesn’t understand the complicated ones.
But one thing is that the wizard's special talent is the ability to foresee future dangers, get warnings, and find ways to avoid them.
Could it be... that... Zhou Li’s obstruction was due to this?
And when he came over to make arrangements, he found that Zhou Ling's face no longer had that stubborn look on it, but was weighing things carefully.
Well, it must not be a simple danger. Is it necessary to weigh it?
So he came clean and stopped pretending. Although he was trying to comfort his little disciple, his bigger idea was to reveal his own identity.
Yes, we have been master and disciple for so long, and I still find it difficult to talk about these rather embarrassing plot arrangements in the book. So my disciple doesn’t know many things. I only know that he came from a book and originally had a system, but the system was gone. And his existence itself makes him the male protagonist of the book.
"Why is he called Long Aotian? Isn't it because the name is a bit silly..."
Zhou Ling subconsciously wanted to answer her master's words, but before she could say anything, she suddenly realized that she almost blurted out her true thoughts!
Although when I first heard the name Long Aotian, I thought it was domineering, but also stupid.
But now, she also has the title of Long Aotian's apprentice. After hearing it for a long time, she actually reversed her impression of him. She felt that there was nothing wrong with the name Long Aotian. Although he was a fool, he was domineering enough and had the potential to be a leading man.
However, the master’s expression now seemed as if he wanted to reveal some shocking news to her, and Zhou Ling didn’t know if she could bear it.
"I am actually... the hero of this book."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ling's eyes, which were originally filled with excitement and waiting, suddenly dimmed.
"Didn't you mention this earlier? Master, how could you have forgotten?"
"You kid, I haven't finished yet, don't interrupt."
It was really hard to say what was going to happen next, so Long Aotian chose to say half of it and keep the other half to himself, thinking it over. However, seeing the slightly disdainful look in his disciple's eyes, he really wanted to knock her on the head.
But now was not the time to spend time together in private. Everyone who should be here was here. Not far from his little disciple was her biological mother, and to the right was her possible future stepfather. If he reached out and knocked Zhou Ling on the head in front of both of them, she would not learn her lesson if he knocked her too lightly, but if he knocked her too hard, then it would be over...
Although it was just a normal interaction between master and disciple, these two people took care of Zhou Ling as if she were their own eyeballs. If he dared to take action in front of them... the scene was too beautiful, he couldn't even imagine it.
The content of the conversation between the two is confidential, so a soundproof barrier was set up. However, the soundproof barrier only blocks the sound, it does not block the picture, so we still have to be careful about the movements.
"You are stupid, think about it again, what does the male lead mean."
Not wanting to be too blunt, Long Aotian decided to wake her up.
"What else can a male protagonist mean? He has the aura of a male protagonist. In a book, he is invincible. He can level up, fight monsters, and act cool. He can do everything..."
Halfway through his words, Zhou Ling looked up in shock and met his master's approving gaze.
"Oh!" She was full of surprise, slapped her forehead with her hand, and suddenly realized.
“Master, you are the hero of this book, so your name is Long Aotian. This means that no matter what danger you encounter, you can turn it into safety, and you can even pretend to be the boss?”
"Keep a low profile." Long Aotian didn't expect that his disciple would speak so bluntly. He looked around awkwardly and found that many people's eyes were focused on them.
Well, I just hope none of them can lip-read.
"Then I don't need to follow Master. Master, you don't know, my mother foresaw that I...I...I would do that thing!"
Both of them have things that they cannot say to each other, but as master and disciple, once a teacher, always a father. Zhou Ling is like Long Aotian's biological daughter. Their fates are connected, and there should be no secrets between them.
Therefore, for these things that cannot be said explicitly, it is possible to express them in another way, such as by hinting or using gestures.
Zhou Ling's performance was a little superficial. As she was talking, she suddenly raised her hand and wiped her neck. She stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes and tilted her head.
Long Aotian understood immediately and nodded approvingly.
"So, Sheng Yuan will stay with you, and I will go alone. But I cannot guarantee that I can avoid danger without you, so even though you stay here, you must be very alert to the surrounding situation. By the way, let me remind you that the most important thing is not to let that old guy named Sheng mention his broken sword in front of others just to show off."
They were talking about the precautions, but as they were talking, Long Aotian couldn't help but want to complain about Sheng Yuan.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Ling was also very supportive and acted as the supporting actor.
"Haven't you noticed? This old guy is in love, and his mind is full of your mother. He can't do his work, and he can't fight. Last time I asked him to help clear the way ahead, but what happened? In the end, the sword was not used. He used the Lian Fu to blast it out. So if you encounter danger, he will subconsciously draw the sword to show off. If you miss the opportunity, you may all die here."
Why does anyone with a little talent want to be a sword practitioner?
The living conditions of a sword cultivator are difficult in the early stages, and there are not many opportunities to earn spirit stones. If you don't have a strong background or backing, you will have to endure a lot of hardships as a sword cultivator all alone.
However, once you become a sword cultivator, you will be able to endure hardships and become a superior person.
Fighting against opponents of higher levels is no problem, and being extremely powerful will earn you respect.
Most importantly, the sword cultivator is handsome! (End of this chapter)
