Master is too ambitious

Chapter 70: Think Carefully

After practicing for more than 500 years, going through various tests, and achieving the primordial spirit, Ji Qian felt that he should be able to handle everything with ease. But at this moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and was almost shocked stupidly by Su Feng.

Su Feng saw Ji Qian's shocked expression. This was the first time he saw his master lose his composure like this, but he also thought his master looked very cute. He said, "I thought I did it very obviously, but it turned out that the master didn't feel anything at all."

Ji Qian collected his thoughts and signaled Su Feng to let go of his hand. He then felt that it was inappropriate to discuss this in the Kuaiyi Fa Tie Building, so he said, "We'll discuss this in Qing Jing Pavilion."

Su Feng let go of Ji Qian's hand, and Ji Qian quickly went down the stairs and went towards the Jingjing Pavilion. Su Feng followed closely and entered the Jingjing Pavilion. Ji Qian directly set up a magic circle for the Jingjing Pavilion.

Ji Qian sat down. He now had a headache. He had always abided by the boundaries and had never done anything out of line. How did things turn out like this? Which step did he take wrong?

But he neglected that love is something that cannot be controlled.

Su Feng sat opposite Ji Qian as usual. Seeing Ji Qian staring blankly with an expressionless face, he asked, "Master, are you surprised?"

Ji Qian sighed, thought for a moment and said, "I have never thought about these things, so I was naturally surprised when you suddenly said this to me."

Su Feng lowered his eyes and said, "Master only cares about cultivation." He seemed a little aggrieved and said, "He doesn't care that much about me either."

No one had ever spoken to Ji Qian in such a tone before. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him focusing on cultivation, but after Su Feng said that, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and said, "This... doesn't seem to be the case?"

Su Feng said, "Master usually just drives me away, and only lets me stay to answer questions about cultivation."

Ji Qian held his forehead and said, "You are a top-grade Jindan master, how can you follow me every day?" He paused, and then said, "Besides, you said you have someone you like, so I will naturally keep my distance from you."

Su Feng smiled and said, "Why can't I follow my master? What rule in the sect stipulates that a Jindan Grandmaster can't follow his own master?"

"You..." Even though Ji Qian was eloquent, he was speechless.

In the past, Ji Qian could always calmly reject all kinds of suitors, but when he encountered someone who kept pestering him, he would naturally not hesitate to strike back hard.

But Su Feng was different after all. Su Feng was his apprentice and, to some extent, his own person. So how could he bear to say harsh words and make Su Feng sad.

Su Feng said to himself: "I used to chase Master all the time. Can I stop doing that now that I have achieved the Golden Elixir?" He paused and said: "Besides, I knew when I achieved the High-grade Golden Elixir that I loved Master."

Ji Qian looked at Su Feng. When he first met him many years ago, he was just a little kid in tattered clothes hawking things on the street. Later, he became his apprentice and always followed him in silence. After experiencing the world and achieving a top-grade golden elixir, he seemed to have become more cheerful.

In the past, Ji Qian always thought that as long as Su Feng did not turn evil and destroy the Taiyi World like in the original work, and practiced diligently, he would keep Su Feng as his disciple. However, he did not know what went wrong, and the free-range disciple fell in love with him.

Seeing that Ji Qian had remained silent, Su Feng asked, "Master, are you thinking about how to make me give up?"

Ji Qian said: "Intellectually, I should ask you to give up."

Su Feng lowered his head, his hairband drooping around his neck, like a lost puppy, but he said firmly: "It is my business that I like Master, Master has no right to ask me to give up, and I just want to tell Master, not to ask for anything from Master."

Ji Qian smiled helplessly and said, "I will consider this matter. You go back first."

Su Feng raised his head suddenly, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Master, what do you mean by this? Are you agreeing to me?"

Ji Qian chuckled and said, "Just because I said I'll consider it doesn't mean I'll agree to it. Don't push your luck or I'll beat you up." He paused, feeling that what he said wasn't quite right, and said, "Go back first and let me think it over."

Su Feng laughed. His smile was full of vigor and vitality, which dazzled Ji Qian. Su Feng said, "Then I will go back first." He said worriedly, "Even if Master doesn't agree to my request, he can't chase me away."

These words were really humble, which made Ji Qian feel even more reluctant.

As soon as Su Feng left, Ji Qian collapsed on the jade table, holding his head in pain, looking half dead.

The system rubbed its hands and said, "Ha... a bit of an unexpected development, host?"

Ji Qian pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "You know, right?"

"Uh" The system touched its bald head and decided to take the initiative to accuse Ji Qian, saying: "It's so obvious, everyone knows it, only you don't know it, can you blame me for not reminding you?"

Ji Qian sighed and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. Can't I be the hero of a level-up novel in my world?"

The system laughed and said, "Why didn't you tell him just now? You should have rejected him harshly, become his disciple to the death, and then let him go!"

Ji Qian was silent for a while, then said helplessly: "I can't bear to do it."

Ji Qian knows himself very well. He is too proud and only wants to make friends with like-minded people with excellent character. However, there are too few such people. Therefore, he has very few friends and he cherishes them very much.

Actually, when I think about it, the reason why I only focus on my own things is because I was bullied in my youth, and I subconsciously avoid being hurt when I grow up. Sometimes I feel lonely, but I seem to enjoy being alone. Over time, I actually get used to it.

After coming to the Taiyi World, cultivation became his mainstream life, and he finally found something he wanted to do. Although he accepted the task of stopping Sufeng from turning evil and destroying the Taiyi World, after really coming into contact with Sufeng, he found that this person was completely different from the original one, with good character and a sincere heart. So he put aside his prejudice, accepted him as his apprentice, and regarded Sufeng as his own person in his heart.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ji Qian never thought about love affairs. What's more, some of those who said they liked and loved him in the past wanted to insult him and see him perform, while others did so because of his good looks and good family background. They said they liked and loved him, but in fact, everything they did was hurting him. These people forced him to break off all feelings and love.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Feng actually fell in love with him, which made him feel very confused.

He couldn't say anything cruel to Su Feng, but if he agreed to it, he would feel sorry for Su Feng. After all, Su Feng liked him, and doing so would really be a waste of his feelings.

Thinking back to when he was clearly educating Fang before, and now that he had run into the same situation himself, he was still hesitant. It really is karma, and no one can escape this fate.

The system said, "What are you reluctant to part with? Didn't you say before that if he dared to do something evil, you would send him to reincarnation? Why are you reluctant to part with it?"

Ji Qian lay down and stretched out his arms, saying, "...Can it be the same? He is my apprentice, and he did nothing wrong."

The system said, "Hehe, I don't know what to do if he is your apprentice, a paper tiger."

After a pause, the system rubbed its hands and said slyly: "Host, I have calculated for you. You are going to fall in love soon."

Ji Qian said, "Have you switched to the matchmaker system?"

The system choked and said, "Well, forget it, I won't care about you anymore."

The system stopped talking. Ji Qian lay in the pile of books, covered his eyes with one hand, placed the other on his chest, and took a deep breath.
