Half-Tried Deity

Chapter 137.3: Recruiting Apprentices (Part 3)

“…” Qiao Qiao took a brush from the side and wrote her name on the rice paper in large seals. Qi Huan almost hit her head onto the table. She wanted to cry. This was irrational. Why did her apprentice write better than her? It seemed that she was even better to be a shifu, she had studied for thousands of years~~~

Seeing her shifu run out of the study room carrying the skirt, Qiao Qiao put her hands on her chin, with a sweet smile on her face. In fact, she only recognized a few words before, and after the age of seven, she never went to school again.

These were all taught by Master, although Master was still very scary, Qiao Qiao had now learned to get used to the terrifying atmosphere of Master. The master said that the master was very busy, and she didn’t need her to teach such small things. In order to avoid mistaking the children, this was actually what Mo Ye wanted to say in his heart.

Although Shigong’s face was slightly distorted when she said this, Qiao Qiao still learned very carefully. She only took a look at the words and she could remember them completely. In the end, it didn’t take long for her to learn literacy. But her shifu seemed to be hit hard?

“Why is this?” Qi Huan rushed into Mo Ye’s arms, barely biting the handkerchief. People who didn’t know thought Mo Ye had bullied her, but she was actually hit by her apprentice.

Mo Ye, who was busy in the kitchen, took out time to pat Qi Huan’s back, and put a freshly washed fish into a pot with one hand, “Hey, isn’t it good that she knew how to read.”

“But if she knows how to read, what can I teach her!” In this world, Qi Huan was probably the only shifu who would ask such a thing.

“…Perhaps you can teach Qiao Qiao “The Monster Pathway”, you can also practice it.” Mo Ye suggested, and then turned the fish over with a shovel.

“But she is human, um… After we finish our cultivation, will she become a monster?”

“You won’t, maybe she might.” Mo Ye’s words were uttered very simply.

“Ah? Then, no, no, it’s too dangerous.” Qiao Qiao had a pair of monster pupils. If she became a monster, then things would be even more troublesome. Qi Huan immediately shook her head to express her disagreement. As for herself, Qi Huan didn’t think much about it, anyway, she had already completed “The Devil Pathway”, so she was not afraid of “The Monster Pathway”.

“Why don’t you ask her.” Mo Ye led Qi Huan, who had been blocking him, aside, and focused on the stewed fragrant fish in the pot.

In fact, Mo Ye had his own thoughts when he made this suggestion. Since Qiao Qiao had become Qi Huan’s apprentice, he naturally couldn’t ignore her. Although he wasn’t one who would help his lover’s friends, he still wanted to at least give a direction for Qiao Qiao.

She was borned with monster pupils, even those high level monsters couldn’t bear the power of monster pupils, let alone a human. So, sooner or later, Qiao Qiao would die. She might still have a chance to live if she cultivated “The Monster Pathway”.

Mo Ye’s answer failed to satisfy Qi Huan, but seeing that he was not ready to continue the conversation, Qi Huan could only walk out of the kitchen faintly, and ran to the pavilion in the garden to daydream.

“Shifu, what’s the matter?” Qiao Qiao, who ran out of her study room after practicing calligraphy, happened to see Qi Huan raging on the flowers in the garden. Seeing the flower stems and petals everywhere in the pavilion, she glanced at the half-bald flowers. Qiao Qiao sincerely mourned the beautiful flowers in the garden.

It was not easy for their seniors to plant those flowers. The seeds planted in the morning could turn into flowers at night. However, her shifu had damaged half of the garden.

“Qiao Qiao, come here, I have something to ask you.” Qi Huan couldn’t think of anything, so she finally had to agree to Mo Ye’s method, and let Qiao Qiao choose what she wanted to learn by herself.

Qiao Qiao went over obediently and stood beside Qi Huan, looking at her curiously.

“I have two kinds of books here. One is that after complete cultivation, you can directly soar and become an immortal just like a normal person. In the future, you may be able to become an ordinary immortal. Then, this other book here may turn you into a monster. After cultivating this book, you may be able to control your eyes and they will no longer threaten your life. However, those who want your eyes will not let you go. Which one do you choose?”

If Qiao Qiao chose the former one, Qi Huan would go to all the cultivating schools in the world to look through and find the secret book suitable for Qiao Qiao.

“I choose the latter one.” Qiao Qiao gave Qi Huan the answer almost immediately. Since no matter what book she practiced, her eyes would be coveted, so she could simply take a gamble. If she lost, she would die. Anyway, she felt that it was already a gift from heaven that she could live until now.

“…” Qi Huan was very upset by her apprentice’s quickness. She had been worrying about the matter for so long but her apprentice made the decision immediately.
