After two calm days at Mr. Yao's Manor, Gu He took the initiative to approach Xiao Yi Xian. He asked her to accompany him into the Demon Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs. This was sothing Xiao Yi Xian had been anticipating. Without much thought, she agreed wholeheartedly when Gu He approached her. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
With several experiences of herb-gathering on the mountain, the relationship between the current Xiao Yi Xian and Gu He had beco quite familiar. During this ti, Gu He generously shared his knowledge of alchemy whenever Xiao Yi Xian had questions, earning even more of her respect.
On this day, after returning from herb-gathering on the mountain, Gu He freshened up and was about to begin his cultivation.
At that mont, a knock echoed through his room, followed by the lodious voice of Xiao Yi Xian outside. "Sir, I've made so chicken soup myself. Would you like to have so?"
Hearing the voice, Gu He opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flickering within. Why was Xiao Yi Xian coming to find him so late? Bringing chicken soup? "Co in," Gu He's clear voice resonated shortly after.
Creak!
As Gu He's words faded, the door was pushed open, and the graceful figure of Xiao Yi Xian slowly entered the room. With a food container in her hands, she raised it toward Gu He and playfully said, "Mr. Gu, I've been in Qing Shan Town for a while now, and I haven't had the chance to let you taste my cooking yet."
After spending a few days with Gu He, Xiao Yi Xian had noticed that this esteed alchemist didn't seem to carry an air of superiority; he was approachable. Thus, she had fully relaxed around him, no longer as reserved as she had been initially. "Sure, I'll taste your cooking," Gu He always had a smile on his face, and he felt sowhat anticipatory.
In the original work, it seed to ntion that Xiao Yi Xian was quite skilled in cooking. If he were to take this girl under his wing, wouldn't he be in for a treat?
The obedient Xiao Yi Xian served a bowl of chicken soup to Gu He. After taking a sip, Gu He's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect your cooking to be this good, young lady." Gu He didn't hold back his praise for Xiao Yi Xian.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on." Seeing Gu He enjoying her chicken soup, Xiao Yi Xian bead with happiness. Every day?
At these words, Gu He blinked slightly, then put on a regretful expression, hesitating before saying, "I did want to have your chicken soup every day... but unfortunately..."
"What's unfortunate?" Xiao Yi Xian was a bit puzzled.
"Unfortunately, I'll be leaving Qing Shan Town in a little while," Gu He said slowly. "Ah... You're leaving, sir?" Upon hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Yi Xian was taken aback.
During this period, she had learned a lot about alchemy from Gu He and gained significant benefits. She felt that if she continued learning from him, she might beco a true alchemist herself.
Now, with Gu He suddenly ntioning his departure, Xiao Yi Xian found it hard to accept. "Well, I've been in Qing Shan Town for quite so ti. It's probably ti to move on," Gu He said, a touch of sadness in his tone. "It's a pity, though. After leaving Qing Shan Town, I won't be able to taste your cooking anymore."
"When do you plan to leave Qing Shan Town, sir?" Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips, asking. "Perhaps tomorrow, or the day after. It should be within these two days," Gu He took a sip of the chicken soup, then continued slowly.
During this ti, Gu He believed he had left a favorable impression on Xiao Yi Xian. He intended to propose the idea of her becoming his apprentice on the day he left Qing Shan Town. If she agreed, he would stay a bit longer. If she declined, he was prepared to leave for the Tagre Desert directly.
He had inquired with the system, and it confird that a disciple must genuinely acknowledge him as their master. Forcibly taking on a disciple wouldn't trigger the system's return chanism.
Hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Yi Xian fell silent for a mont. After hesitating for a while, her gaze gradually turned resolute, and she said with a hint of implication, "Actually, sir, if you truly wish to have chicken soup every day, there might be a way."
"Oh?" At these words, a hint of curiosity appeared in Gu He's eyes as he said, "Please, tell more."
"If you're willing to take as your apprentice, I'd be happy to cook chicken soup for you every day," Xiao Yi Xian's face blood with a playful smile, her gaze fixed on Gu He. Xiao Yi Xian's tone carried a touch of teasing as if she were joking with Gu He.
But in reality, at this mont, Xiao Yi Xian felt incredibly nervous. She wasn't certain if her words would anger Gu He. As Gu He heard Xiao Yi Xian's words, his expression montarily froze. And once he processed her words, a sense of anticipation rose within him.
Could it be that Xiao Yi Xian... is indicating that she wants to beco my disciple? With such thoughts swirling in his mind, Gu He also worried that Xiao Yi Xian might be joking. Thus, he carefully considered his words, his gaze shifting to the petite figure across from him. With a light chuckle, he said, "Haha, if you're willing, I certainly will take you as my disciple."
"Are you serious, sir?" Hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened, excitent gleaming in her gaze. Imdiately, she rose from her seat, gracefully bowed to Gu He, and her lodious voice rang out, "Disciple greets the teacher."
???
Watching this sequence of actions from Xiao Yi Xian, Gu He's expression turned sowhat bewildered. Xiao Yi Xian, it turns out, is actually serious...
