Chapter 480 Going Home (10)
On the way back, Xia Nianchen remained silent the whole time. However, his occasional glances at the girl beside him revealed his inner unrest.
He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Yan Xue couldn't help feeling a little impatient when she saw that this man was secretly looking at her for the third time.
She couldn't help but say, "Hey, what do you want to say?"
Xia Nianchen was very conflicted. Before today, he wanted to marry her, but now he found that he was not worthy of her at all.
Xia Nianchen's face flushed instantly. After hesitating for a long time, he stammered, "I...I want to take you as my master!"
After hearing this, Yan Xue was stunned for a moment, then she looked up and down at the boy in front of her.
After a while, she shook her head and said lightly: "You are too old."
Xia Nianchen raised his head quickly, looked at Yan Xue earnestly, and said, "I know, but I really want to learn. Please teach me."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Yan Xue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the boy carefully.
There seemed to be a faint golden light emanating from the boy's body, which showed that he had done good deeds in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Yan Xue took out a stone from her bosom and handed it to Xia Nianchen, "Hold this stone in your hand and let me see it."
Xia Nianchen stretched out his hand without hesitation and held the stone tightly.
After a moment, the originally ordinary stone began to slowly emit a faint light.
Yan Xue raised her eyebrows. Wow, he actually has spiritual roots. Although it is a hidden mixed spiritual root, it is also very rare.
Just like in their Qingyuan Mountain, only the four brothers and sisters had spiritual roots. Later, the master adopted more than 100 children, but none of them had spiritual roots.
Xia Nianchen stared at the girl in front of him: "Xiaoxue! Master Xiaoxue, please teach me! I swear I will study hard!"
Yan Xue frowned slightly and responded in a serious tone: "The road of cultivation is full of difficulties and hardships.
Are you sure you are ready to endure these hardships? "
Xia Nianchen nodded without hesitation and said, "I'm ready! No matter how difficult it is, I will never back down!"
As soon as Xia's mother returned home, she went to her son's room. She knew that her son had taken Xiaoxue out to play today, and she wondered if there had been any progress between the two.
When Xia's mother pushed open the door, she saw her son holding a torn book with full concentration.
She walked forward curiously and asked softly, "Son, what are you looking at?"
When Xia Nianchen heard his mother's voice, a look of pride immediately filled his face.
He quickly stood up, carefully handed the yellowed old book in his hand to his mother, and said excitedly: "Mom, look!"
Mother Xia took the book and looked at it carefully. It was "The Jade Sutra".
She couldn't help but look puzzled and muttered to herself, "What is this?"
Before Xia's mother could react, Xia Nianchen snatched the book back from her mother's hands and held it tightly in his arms as if it were a rare treasure.
At the same time, he said with a hint of resentment: "Mom, you are really ignorant! Let me tell you, today I have officially accepted Xiaoxue as my master!"
"What?"
When Xia's mother heard this, she was stunned. It seemed as if a group of crows were flying over her head, cawing.
She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "How did my daughter-in-law suddenly become a master? What's going on?"
Xia Nianchen's face was filled with unconcealed admiration, and he said excitedly: "Mom, do you know? Today, Master actually took me to see a ghost!
My master is so amazing, she can open the gates of hell so easily!"
After saying this, Xia Nianchen even straightened his chest, as if he wanted everyone to see the pride in his heart at the moment.
Then he stood up again, cleared his throat deliberately, and announced loudly:
"I have good news for you. Master Xiaoxue has officially accepted me as his disciple. From now on, I am the third generation disciple of Qingyuan Mountain!"
Although the master said that he was only worthy of being an outer disciple, that was not the point. There was no need to tell his mother about it.
Hearing this, Xia's mother hurried forward and gently touched her son's forehead.
He murmured to himself with some worry: "The child doesn't have a fever... Why is he just talking nonsense?"
Xia Nianchen suddenly opened her mother's hand and yelled in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Mom, what are you doing?
I'm not kidding you! I'm now seriously embarking on the path of cultivation!"
Seeing her son so serious, Mother Xia couldn't help but feel a headache, and advised earnestly:
"Son, don't be confused. What's the point of practicing or not? I heard that only one out of ten thousand people can succeed.
It’s more important for us to live an honest life!”
But Xia Nianchen was not moved at all, instead she refuted confidently: "Mom, you don't understand this, right?
Master Xiaoxue has said that I have the qualifications to practice!
Although this qualification may be a little lacking, you have to know that many people don’t even have this!
Besides, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Diligence can make up for lack of talent’. As long as I am willing to work hard in my practice, I will be able to be as great as Master in the future!
By then, our Xia family will be able to bring honor to our ancestors!"
Looking at her confident son, Mother Xia felt her head buzzing and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
She staggered back to her room, sat down on the bed, and told her husband exactly what her son had just said.
Although Xia Guangzhi was full of surprise, he was thoughtful and thought much more deeply than ordinary people.
There are still many things in this world that they don't know. The Xiuzhen Sect really has magical powers.
If his son could really enter Qingyuan Mountain, it might be a turning point for the Xia family in the future.
