Chapter 238: Kneeling
Chapter 238: Kneeling
Mo Zheng, feeling a little dizzy, walked into the dining room surrounded by Lin Moran and Hua Jiantang.
From a distance, he could see several peak masters and senior brothers sitting in a circle. Li Fuyi straightened his back and knelt upright in the middle.
No one said anything, but the atmosphere was a little tense. For a moment, Mo Zheng didn't want to go in.
With this attitude, he would be criticized even if he went in...
But looking at Li Fuyi's back with the word "determination" on it, she couldn't just leave him like that and retreat alone.
A few steps away from the door, he patted Lin Moran, who was supporting him, and said, "Xiaoran, Xiaohua, can you...step aside for a moment?"
Lin Moran and Hua Jiantang nodded obediently, but simply retreated to the corridor on the side and did not go far away.
They are quite conflicted now.
Things have already happened. If Li Fuyi dares to do something but not take responsibility, or blindly puts the blame on the efficacy of the medicine, it will make all of them unhappy.
Fortunately, as soon as he came back, he expressed his deep love for his master and wanted to ask all the uncles and aunts for permission to let him and his master become Taoist partners.
Although they were made to kneel down as punishment by the straightforward Master Changxun, they felt secretly relieved.
Looking at Master’s attitude, he also has feelings for him, which can be considered as mutual affection.
Uncle Qie Yubai said that this was a good thing. Now the two of them had physical contact. Although the master had been in a coma for three days, his recovery was unexpectedly good.
If the two can settle down and continue with the treatment, the passion will be gone in just forty-nine days.
Not only will it be harmless to the Master, but it will also nourish his immortal body and immortal veins to become more pure and strong.
But their dreams...the warnings in the dreams really made the two senior sisters and brothers feel a little uneasy.
After all, Lin Jiner's matter has always been there.
Although Li Fuyi personally killed all the people from the Ghost Realm in the battle, it seemed to outsiders that he had avenged Li Jiner.
But the last time they questioned Li Fuyi, he didn't tell them specifically what happened at Jiuhe Peak.
In terms of emotion, Li Fuyi and they are brothers who live together day and night, and are also like family members.
How could they hope that he would turn against his most beloved master?
If both of them can be happy and finally become a couple, it would be best if the warning in the dream fails to come true.
With all these things mixed together, the two of them could only wait and see, and it seemed that nothing they said was right for the time being.
He looked at Master Mo Zheng's back with worry and watched him go into the dining room.
As soon as Mo Zheng came in, he met the gazes of his six fellow apprentices and his junior sister Liu Xingrou, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck for a moment.
It’s still the same old rule, grinning means smiling.
Hi... As the old saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
When Shen Changxun met Mo Zheng like this, he could only breathe heavily through his nose for a while, feeling angry at his lack of fighting spirit.
However, when Nan Yubai and Liu Xingrou "escorted" Mo Zheng over, he still got him a new cup, poured him a cup of warm tea and placed it next to him.
Mo Zheng held the water cup and sighed in his heart. In this room, no matter whether they were men or women, every one of them was a ruthless person. They had sharp tongues but soft hearts towards their own people.
I don’t know what sin the original owner committed, but such good brothers and sisters were harmed as well. It’s so unfair for them just thinking about it.
But now was not the time to praise his original body's good fortune. He put down the teacup and took the opportunity to glance at Li Fuyi, who was kneeling in front of him. Meeting his sparkling eyes, he said, "Ahem..."
"How come he can choke even when drinking water? Is Yubai okay?" Seeing this, Shen Changxun frowned and looked at his junior brother Nan Yubai with some worry in his eyes.
Nan Yubai covered his forehead helplessly, thinking to himself: Senior Brother Changxun must have done this on purpose...
Mo Zheng put down the teacup, "Um...let Fu Yi get up. This matter can't be blamed entirely on him. Lin Jiaojiao's drugging was an emergency."
The more he spoke, the drier his voice became, because it was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him seriously.
Mo Zheng was silent for a while, then calmed down and said, "Fuyi, get up. Your master will allow you to get up."
Upon hearing this, Li Fuyi showed a sunny smile on his face, but he still knelt firmly, not moving at all.
He looked up at Mo Zheng, his eyes filled with determination and deep remorse, "Master is right to scold me. If it is Chinese medicine, I can't use Master as an antidote."
"No matter what, I'm just taking advantage of the drugs and being a rogue. I deserve to be punished!"
"I accept the punishment."
"I just hope that after I am punished, all the uncles and aunts will allow me to marry my master. I am serious about my love for him. It has nothing to do with anything else." After saying that, he kowtowed twice to show his sincerity and determination.
Mo Zheng blushed and his heart beat fast for a moment. This... was a proposal in public!
"Ahem!" Shen Changxun coughed twice and pointed outside. "Since you accept the punishment, go kneel outside. I'll let you in again someday."
Li Fuyi gave Mo Zheng a soothing look, saluted quickly, stood up, walked out the door, and knelt in the sun from a distance.
"Hmph! Little brat!" Shen Changxun cast a magic circle to cover the small dining room, preventing anyone outside from hearing their conversation.
As if that wasn't enough, he even slammed the door shut.
After making sure no one outside could see, Mu Jinshu took the initiative to ask, "Master Brother, what do you think?"
Mo Zheng's old face flushed, and he squeezed out a sentence, "Fu Yi is very good, I... also have intentions with him."
Although he was a little embarrassed and timid, his seriousness was obvious.
Then he heard several people in the small dining room breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Shen Changxun, who had just looked disgusted and the most stern, grinned.
This made Mo Zheng look at this and that in surprise, with the expression on his face changing all the time.
Seeing his expression, Liu Xingrou couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm afraid that guy will force you to do it regardless of your wishes. Ultimately, you have to be willing to make the most important things in your life."
"But~" His eyes flashed with cunning,
"It seems that we were overthinking it." She smiled happily with a hint of sarcasm, and was satisfied with Li Fuyi's confession and Mo Zheng's reaction.
Mo Zheng's face turned even redder, as his thoughts were all seen through.
But at the same time, he also felt relieved, because his fellow disciples all cared about him and wanted to protect him, and they hoped that he could be truly happy.
Their approval and blessings meant much more to him than he had imagined.
"Master, if you're happy, that's great." Nan Yubai saw the atmosphere in the dining room relax and joked, "The brothers are worried that you'll be doing this reluctantly in order to protect Junior-Junior Nie Fuyi."
"That's great!"
"Then I will take Junior Brother Fuyi back later and talk to him about the things to pay attention to when it comes to dispelling the emotional tide. If the Dao-Bound Ceremony is not allowed, it will be two months later, right?"
He counted on his fingers and found that there would be an auspicious day two months later, which was perfect for marriage, commemoration of the Dao, and the establishment of the family name.
Mo Zheng took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to his fellow apprentices present: "Mo Zheng, thank you all for your concern..."
