Chapter 45 No confidence
"Master, you were going to take my junior brother as your disciple, and you went to the capital and lost twenty years of your life for this. Why do you suddenly not want to take my junior brother as your disciple?"

Not to mention Liu Dongzhu, even Zhang Guihua, Wang Lin, Guo Xuesong and even Yuan Liang found it difficult to understand why Taoist Xuanqing would suddenly say such a thing.

Especially Yuan Liang, after learning that Taoist Xuanqing not only killed the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion but also went to the capital and shortened his life by 20 years in order to accept Wang Ping'an as his disciple, it was impossible for him to say that he had no opinion on Wang Ping'an in his heart, because he cared about Taoist Xuanqing so much.

of course.

It was because he cared a lot about Taoist Xuanqing, so even though he had a huge objection to Wang Ping'an, he knew what Taoist Xuanqing was thinking and didn't say anything.

He could only bury his opinion of Wang Ping'an deep in his heart.

How to know.

His master, Taoist Xuanqing, would suddenly change his mind and decide not to accept Wang Pingan as his disciple.

This was something he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried!

You have to know that his master sacrificed twenty years of his life in order to take this kid as his disciple. If he suddenly decides not to take him as his disciple, wouldn’t it be a waste of his life?

Zhang Guihua was surprised and asked, "Master Xuanqing, you went to the capital and lost twenty years of your life to take this boy as your disciple. How come you suddenly don't want to take this boy as your disciple? Is there something about our family's safety that makes you unhappy?"

She was actually very satisfied with the fact that Taoist Master Xuanqing, who was a successful Taoist, was planning to take Ping'an in as his disciple and not stop him. Ping'an got married and had children. It was not only because Taoist Master Xuanqing was capable.

From now on, her family will practice Taoism with Taoist Master Xuanqing safely and will be able to protect themselves without having to worry about being persecuted by demons and monsters.

Taoist Xuanqing is also very concerned about the safety of her family. He can even shorten her life span by twenty years. If he doesn't care about this, what else does he care about?

With such a master, how could she not be satisfied?
"Master Zhang, you misunderstood. I am not dissatisfied with your grandson. On the contrary, I am very satisfied with him!"

At this point, Taoist Xuanqing paused, looked up at Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms, and said with a bitter smile: "But it is because you are too satisfied that you cannot accept him as your disciple!"

He actually wanted to say that no one had taught Wang Ping'an the prayer scriptures, but he was able to learn it just by watching his apprentice recite it a few times. Moreover, this kid was born not long ago, which was enough to show that this kid's terrifying talent in practicing Taoism was as outrageous as a demon.

just.

He didn't know whether the Wang family would understand or believe what he said, but he knew that it would pose a great danger to Wang Ping'an and even Liu Dongzhu.

Even though this trip to the capital cost him twenty years of life, the Prime Minister's daughter would not attack Wang Ping'an and Liu Dongzhu again. However, if she knew Wang Ping'an's terrifying talent in cultivation.

First of all, Wang Pingan and even Liu Dongzhu will not be let go!

Liu Dongzhu looked confused and said, "Master Xuanqing, since you are very satisfied with our Ping An, why do you suddenly not want to accept our Ping An as your disciple?"

Taoist Xuanqing said self-deprecatingly: "Because my ability is limited, I don't want to delay your young master!"

"My abilities are limited, and I don't want to delay!"

Guo Xuesong, who was originally chatting with Wang Lin—or not chatting, but talking about Wang Ruhai’s affairs, could no longer stand when he heard what Taoist Xuanqing said, and jumped out and said:

"At least you have achieved success in Taoism, and you are a Taoist from Ziyang Palace. Maybe Ping'an is very talented in Taoism. Although I can't see it, your ability is more than enough to teach a child?" Taoist Master Xuanqing lost twenty years of his life to accept Wang Ping'an as his disciple. He would never believe that Wang Ping'an's talent in Taoism was average.

I just can't understand it. Taoist Xuanqing was extremely happy when he learned that the Wang family was willing to let Ping'an become his disciple. How could he suddenly decide not to accept this kid as his disciple?
suddenly.

Guo Xuesong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he said thoughtfully, "Could it be that you, Taoist priest, made a mistake before, and just checked Ping An again, and determined that Ping An was not a good candidate for cultivation, so you did not plan to accept him as a disciple?"

Although he also wanted to accept Wang Ping'an as his apprentice because of Wang Ruhai, and although he didn't like what Wang Ruhai did, he more or less believed in the truth that 'like father, like son' and 'like daughter', and thought that Wang Ping'an might have a talent for studying.

Maybe he will be better than his teacher!

He has lived for most of his life and feels that he has lived enough. His talent for reading is limited and he no longer expects to achieve anything in the imperial examinations. His current greatest hobby is to cultivate the seeds of reading.

but.

Considering the heavy price Taoist Xuanqing paid to accept Wang Ping'an as his disciple, it is obvious that Taoist Xuanqing likes Wang Ping'an very much, so how could he steal his love away?

"Mr. Xiucai, you misunderstood. Ping An's ability in cultivating the Dao cannot be explained by the fact that he was born with a good talent. He is a genius born to cultivate the Dao!"

Taoist Xuanqing shook his head, couldn't help but sigh, and said seriously: "It is precisely because of this kid's talent that I can't accept him as my apprentice, so as not to delay his future development."

At this point, Taoist Xuanqing paused, his face full of self-mockery, and he spoke again: "Just as you just said, Scholar, I am actually just a wild Taoist priest. My own abilities are limited, and I can't teach any powerful disciples!"

"Master Xuanqing, don't underestimate yourself. Ever since you settled in Hutougou, all the demons and monsters that caused trouble in the past have died at your hands, not to mention that you are from Ziyang Palace!"

Guo Xuesong saw that Taoist Xuanqing didn't seem to be joking, and was shocked. He found it hard to understand what talent Wang Ping'an had in cultivation that would make Taoist Xuanqing say such a thing. He advised again:

"Even if your strength is limited, you accepted Ping An as your disciple just to enlighten him. When he has learned all your skills, can't you recommend him to Ziyang Palace? Are you lying when you said you have the ability to send your own disciples to Ziyang Palace to study?"

Taoist Xuanqing shook his head.

He was sent to Ziyang Palace to study since he was young. Although his talent and strength were limited and he was mediocre among the geniuses and geniuses in Ziyang Palace, he still gained admission into Ziyang Palace through his own efforts.

You can establish your own sect and affiliate yourself with the Zi Yang Palace.

If a talented disciple is discovered or received, he can be sent to the Zi Yang Palace.

in the past.

The leaders of Zi Yang Palace did come from other small Taoist temples.

"If that's the case, then why do you still refuse to accept Ping An as your disciple!"

Guo Xuesong snorted coldly: "Could it be that you have no confidence and can't even do enlightenment?"

Taoist Master Xuanqing gave a bitter smile and wanted to shake his head, but when he thought of Wang Ping'an's terrifying talent for Taoism, he was really worried that he might not even be able to do the enlightenment.
