774 Separation of Master and Disciple
“That’s better.”
Old Wu was satisfied.
Su Xiaolu returned to her room to rest. She released Mantis Shrimp. There were only a few Interface Stones left in the Space. Mantis Shrimp had finally grown to the size of a two-month-old puppy. It was completely black, even its tongue was black.
At night, Old Wu specially ordered food from the restaurant.
Su Xiaolu officially attended the Apprentice Ceremony.
Gui You drank the tea and gave Su Xiaolu a gift.
Su Xiaolu put it away.
“Where did this little thing come from?”
Looking at a pure black puppy, Gui You was a little curious. He had seen many black dogs, but this was the first time he had seen one so black.
Su Xiaolu picked up Mantis Shrimp and said to the two Masters with a smile, “Master, you definitely won’t be able to guess who this is.”
“This was the little cub we picked up when we first entered the foreign land. You said it belonged to a mouse, but it didn’t. Now that it’s grown up, don’t you think it’s becoming more and more like a big bear?”
Su Xiaolu was very proud. She had raised Mantis Shrimp herself.
They watched him grow up and slowly turn black.
The change in Mantis Shrimp’s fur started after eating the Interface Stones. It was also because he ate the Interface Stone that he grew faster.
“This thing grows so slowly. It’s been a few years, but it’s only grown so little. If it has to grow that big, I don’t know how many hundred years it will take.”
Old Wu sighed. At that time, he should be gone.
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and smiled kindly. “Girl, cultivate well. With every level you advance, your lifespan will increase. This guy will be your right-hand man in the future.”
Every time a true cultivator advanced, their lifespan would be different. This path was very difficult, but Old Niu had also said that as long as she was not trapped by love, she would definitely succeed.
Old Wu drank a glass of wine and became more serious. “Girl, you have to work hard. Live for thousands of years and tell Master what it will be like thousands of years later.”
Su Xiaolu stuck out her tongue. “Master, if I live for so long, wouldn’t I have become an old demon? There are no immortals in the world now. In a few thousand years, this spiritual energy will deteriorate and this era will pass.”
Gui You suddenly said, “Who said that there are no immortals now? They might be hiding somewhere far away from the mortal world. Girl, go and take a look for us.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the expectant expressions of her two Masters and nodded. “Alright, I’ll definitely cultivate hard. I want to become an Immortal and a god. I want to live for thousands of years.”
Unknowingly, Master Gui You had become childish as well.
Seeing Su Xiaolu speak, Gui You and Old Wu smiled.
Su Xiaolu was also happy.
Mantis Shrimp was also touched by the two Masters and was fed a lot of delicious food. Mantis Shrimp’s cute voice sounded in Su Xiaolu’s mind. He said in a childish voice, “Xiaolu, your two Masters are really good people.”
He was worried that Su Xiaolu would not be in the mood to cultivate, but Gui You and Old Wu had given her so much support. They were really good people.
If she wanted to live for thousands of years, she would definitely have to diligently cultivate and survive Tribulation Transcendence. Ahhh, he was too happy.
Su Xiaolu touched the fur of Mantis Shrimp and replied proudly in her heart, “Of course. They’re the best Masters in the world.”
After dinner, Su Xiaolu performed acupuncture on Old Wu.
Old Wu smiled and said, “Girl, I’ve taught you a hundred acupuncture techniques. The hundred silver needles today are up to you.”
Su Xiaolu looked up proudly. “No problem.”
She already memorized the array formation by heart. Taking the needle and inserting it was completely subconscious. Her hands moved faster than her brain.
Old Wu was very satisfied. The student had surpassed the master. Such a powerful disciple was his.
There was no need to specially remember the time, but when the time came, Su Xiaolu retracted the needles one by one. These were all things that a doctor was confident in, and she made no mistake at all.
“I’m relieved. Go and rest. Sleep well. Everything will definitely be safe and smooth for you.”
Old Wu waved his hand kindly. He was completely at ease with Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu packed up the silver needles and returned to her room. Mantis Shrimp was asleep, but when it heard Su Xiaolu’s movements, it automatically moved sideways to the bed.
Su Xiaolu fell asleep. The bed was warm.
At dawn, Old Wu and Gui You quietly left the courtyard.
Old Wu frowned. “Will the girl be angry if we leave like this?”
Gui You’s expression was calm. “Then what should we do? We people of the martial world are like this. It’s inevitable that we’ll feel sad after saying goodbye. It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other again.”
“That’s true. The girl is all grown up and has a lot of emotions. If she cries, I won’t even know how to leave. Forget it, let’s go.”
Old Wu sighed in his heart and felt inexplicably melancholic. He took a step forward first.
Gui You smiled and followed.
Su Xiaolu should have her own life. In the martial world, there were many things she had yet to see. Young people should be allowed to venture into the martial world, but old people like them were not suitable to interfere. They were just her stable backers.
Su Xiaolu slept until dawn.
She stretched and felt that it was a little too quiet outside. In the past, the old man should have been cultivating. With the old man’s temper, it was impossible for him not to make a sound.
Su Xiaolu frowned slightly and quickly got out of bed to run out to open the door. She choked and shouted, “Master, Master Gui You—”
The small courtyard was quiet and there was no response. Su Xiaolu muttered to herself, “They’re really two annoying Masters.”
She knew that they had already left.
It was time for her to walk the rest of the way herself. Two years of companionship was enough.
Mantis Shrimp ran to Su Xiaolu’s feet and bit her skirt. Its childish voice sounded in Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, are we leaving too? Where are we going?”
Mantis Shrimp was looking forward to Su Xiaolu’s answer. He remembered everything Su Xiaolu had said, but he didn’t know if Su Xiaolu remembered it as clearly as he did.
He had his plans in his heart.
Su Xiaolu picked him up and smiled. “Let’s go find Interface Stones at Changzhou.”
The first Interface Stone was obtained from her eldest cousin’s house. At that time, he said that it was a gift from Changzhou to her great-grandfather. Su Xiaolu decided to go there and see if she would find anything.
“Yay, Xiaolu, you’re the best.”
Mantis Shrimp was overjoyed. Su Xiaolu still remembered. He was so touched. It felt good to be valued.
Mantis Shrimp tilted its head and leaned against Su Xiaolu’s chest. Listening to her strong heartbeat, it thought that Xiaolu was really a healthy human being. At this moment, her body was in its best state and she was energetic. She was really suitable to roam the world.
Su Xiaolu put Mantis Shrimp back into the Space. She packed her things and closed the courtyard door carefully. She went to get the horse and rode away. Finding Interface Stones and finding An Lie were all part of her plan, but it was all up to fate. She didn’t know which direction An Lie had gone, so she prioritized finding the Interface Stones. Every time she arrived at a new place, she would ask if there was any news of their whereabouts.
