After Lu An walked out of the restaurant, his face instantly improved and he let out a sip of wine.

While walking, he thought about the information he had just learned and sighed softly. It seemed that this apprentice had been admitted.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the alley, I saw Xue Nian sitting on the ground.

When Xue Nian saw Lu An coming out, she hurriedly got up with a smile on her face, but she was a little restrained, her hands moving around, and she didn't know how to put them.

"Why didn't you go back?" Lu An asked.

"Since I brought the master, I must take it back." Xue Nian scratched her head, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

When Lu An saw this smile, his heart felt warm. He touched his head unconsciously and said with a smile: "Let's go, then let's go back."

Xue Nian was touched by Lu An's head, and suddenly she became happy and jumped in front of her.

Lu An looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them were speechless all the way and wandered back.

Xue Nian took Lu An back to the door, then bowed respectfully to Lu An and said, "Master, have a good rest today and you must win tomorrow!"

Lu An smiled again and replied, "No need to be so restrained. We are friends now, and we are just a few years apart."

Xue Nian shook his head stubbornly and replied, "Although I have never read a book, I still understand one thing. I have heard of the four words of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao."

Lu An nodded, "Then have a drink together?"

Xue Nian's face was happy, but she still shyed and asked in a low voice: "But I can't drink?"

Lu An smiled and said, "How can a real man not drink? Let's go and take you to have a meaty meal today."

After saying that, Lu An pulled Xue Nian directly in.

He took out a few side dishes he had just bought on the road, put them in place, and poured another pot of sorghum wine he snatched from Lao Xiao.

Since Xue Nian came in, she looked restless and looked at Lu An who was cooking and pouring wine, but she didn't know how to interfere.

Lu An poured a glass of wine for Xue Nian, then poured a glass for himself, and then looked at Xue Nian quietly.

Xue Nian was uncomfortable all over when she was seen. She held the glass of wine in her hand, looked at Lu An, then picked up and smelled it. Her nose shrank, her brows tightened, and she looked up at Lu An again.

Lu An raised his hand and signaled Xue Nian to have a drink.

Xue Nian took a deep breath and went in with a sip. Then she struggled very much, and her whole face became distorted.

"Swallow." Lu An said.

Xue Nian swallowed with breath, breathed a sigh of relief, then her expression stretched out and then changed again. She felt that the throat was burning, and she involuntarily spit out her tongue, venting, and shaking her head.

After a long time of rest, Xue Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and let out a long sigh, but after drinking this cup, his face turned rosy.

Lu An smiled at Xue Nian and drank the glass of wine, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Xue Nian shook her head, frowned and replied, "It's too choking and spicy, it's a bit difficult to swallow, but after drinking it, my body is warm and comfortable."

Lu An nodded, poured another glass of wine for Xue Nian, and said, "Drink slowly, don't worry."

Xue Nian took the wine glass and nodded.

Lu An also drank a drink, then looked at Xue Nian with a red face and asked, "Why do you want to be my teacher so much?"

When Xue Nian heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Because of what the master did, I think it's right!"

"It's right?" Lu An asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's just right. What I said made me think that the soldiers should be what the master said. People who are as timid as rats should not join the army. If I have this ability, I will teach them a lesson." Xue Nian replied honestly.

"Oh? That's the reason?" Lu An asked a little disbelief.

Xue Nian nodded, "Yes, although I don't have much contact with my master, judging from the days we got along, the master is very kind-hearted, very organized in his life, and has his own scale in his heart. He is fair in his work, peaceful in others, and decisive in killing. This scale is exactly what I don't have. Moreover, the master is so young and has such strong strength. He will definitely become a big shot like Lord Yan Qingyan in the future, hehe." Lu An nodded, and did not continue to ask this question. Instead, he raised his glass and touched Xue Nian for a while, and the two of them drank it all in one go.

After two glasses of wine, Xue Nian's eyes turned red and even his tongue began to flutter a little. He burped from time to time. Lu An picked up the chopsticks and signaled to eat some food.

Xue Nian picked up two chopsticks of dishes, then suddenly pointed at the steamed buns on the table with his finger and asked in confusion: "Master, why do you like eating steamed buns so much? I thought it was strange before. Every time there are steamed buns, according to a big man like you, shouldn't you eat meat every day, right? Why do you love this steamed bun alone?"

"What about you? What do you like to eat?" Lu An did not answer, but instead asked this question.

"I? It's enough to be full. There is no so-called likes or not. Of course, if I'm as good as the master, then I will definitely eat enough fish and meat every day. I will definitely not eat steamed buns. What's the good thing about steamed buns?" Xue Nian replied without thinking.

Lu An nodded without refuting, and asked another question, "Then why do you think I like to eat steamed buns? Instead of eating big fish and meat?"

Xue Nian leaned on the chopsticks, thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe this steamed bun is very meaningful to the master, and it just so happens that the master is not tired of eating it. Just like me, although he doesn't like eating steamed buns, I don't hate it either. Of course, it's also possible that the master was used to eating big fish and meat, and then fell in love with this steamed bun, hehe."

After hearing this, Lu An nodded and replied, "It's true, what about you? Is there anything that is particularly meaningful to you?"

Xue Nian smiled and replied, "I didn't have it before, but now I may have it." After that, he raised his wine glass and shook it.

When Lu An saw this, he smiled silently.

Xue Nian raised his glass with both hands and toasted Lu An with a glass of wine. Lu An touched it gently and drank it all in one go.

"Master, are you willing to accept me as your disciple now?" Xue Nian asked anxiously.

Lu An shook his head.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" Xue Nian asked unwillingly.

"It's not that you are wrong, but that I am not qualified enough." Lu An replied truthfully.

"Why? Then why can Gu Yan?" Xue Nian asked.

"Gu Yan? He is not my apprentice himself. He is the apprentice of one of my elders. This time he went out, it was the elder's instructions that he asked him to learn something from me. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed, so he was not my apprentice." Lu An explained.

After hearing this, Xue Nian was suddenly happy and said happily: "So, I am the master's pioneer disciple."

Lu An glanced at Xue Nian and replied indifferently: "I want to be my apprentice now, but it doesn't mean it's not possible. I can accept you as my apprentice, but this master is registered. When you find a more suitable master in the future, you can worship him as your master."

Xue Nian knelt down and said, "I will pay my respects to the master. I will be my master for one day and be my father forever. In the future, even if there are more powerful people who want to accept me as my disciple, I will not agree."

Lu An helped Xue Nian up and continued, "What you think so now does not mean it will be the case in the future. Now you don't have enough knowledge. After you experience some things in the future, you will feel that I am actually a very ordinary person, not as casual as you imagined, and not as strong as you think. However, since you have this idea now, I still have to say something. If you do something bad about killing and setting fire in the future, I will definitely not let you go and will definitely erase you with my own hands."

Xue Nian nodded immediately and replied: "If I really do something like murder and setting fire, I will punish myself and apologize without the master."

Lu An nodded, "Xue Nian, I don't know what kind of person you will become in the future. Now it happens to be in a chaotic world. Although the northern border looks solid, it is very likely that it is not stable, so don't go with the flow in the future."

"What does it mean? Master, don't you let me follow you?" Xue Nian asked in confusion.

Lu An nodded, "It's useless for you to follow me, I can't teach you anything, and I'm not strong enough now. You should continue to be in the army in the past few years. Then I will talk to Lord Yan and let you practice for a while."

Xue Nian hesitated for a while, but when he saw Lu An's face was very serious, he could only nod.

"Xue Nian, do you think it's comfortable to live a good life or a bad life?" Lu An asked suddenly.

Xue Nian was stunned for a long time, her eyes flashed constantly, and then suddenly replied coldly: "It's comfortable to be a bad person."

Lu An was surprised at this answer and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because good people don't live long, bad people live long." Xue Nian said with cold eyes.

Lu An looked at the hint of hatred in Xue Nian's eyes and did not refute it. It seemed that he had encountered many things at a young age. Lu An was also very sensible and did not continue to ask about this matter. The knot in his heart could not be solved in just a few words. Then he asked softly: "Then do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"

"The master must be a good person." Xue Nian said with a very quick reaction.

"Oh, then what do you mean is that I won't live long?" Lu An asked with a smile.

Xue Nian waved his hand quickly and said no, but after thinking about it carefully, it was wrong, and immediately shook his head again, looking entangled.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian who was confused by himself and smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm definitely not a good person, because there is too much blood in my hands, but I can't even say bad people, because I didn't do anything bad and careless. I'm just an ordinary person. Do you understand this?"

Xue Nian nodded and shook her head without understanding.

"Actually, I don't understand either, hahaha." Lu An suddenly burst into laughter.

Xue Nian looked at the master in front of him with an inexplicable look, feeling a little weird. I don’t know how to describe it, but it felt like it was too casual, completely contrary to the side I saw before. This sudden change even made him a little uncomfortable, but he felt a little close. This long-lost feeling is really good.

"Xue Nian, do you want to know how I spent it when I was a child? And the story of this steamed bun." Lu An suddenly said on a whim.

Xue Nian nodded excitedly, looking curious.

Lu An then took a sip of wine, then told Xue Nian something with a smile on his face, and Xue Nian heard it very seriously, with admiration, fear and incredible face. Then he nodded constantly and laughed twice from time to time.

The two of them drank until late at night.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian who was sleeping soundly on the table, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to the distance.

"Mr. Jiang, now I finally know your expectations for me at that time, which disappoints you. Over the past year, I have not finished reading the book you gave me, and I have not yet understood the principles in this book, let alone the expectation of me, reading the books, walking slowly, thinking twice, and talking carefully. Reading the books, walking slowly, thinking three times, and talking carefully."

"I can't beat others, and the reasoning is enough, otherwise I will really be a bit embarrassing. But don't worry, although I haven't become what you want, I will definitely teach this young man well according to the requirements you gave me, and I will never let him become a so-called hero, let alone a so-called devil."

"There is still the future. I will definitely read more. I want to be a scholar. To reason with others. If you don't understand, then use a sword to reason. Holding a book in your hand and carrying a sword on your back will definitely support the backbone of our scholars. In this way, you will never be bent by the beard. Hehe, I don't know how you are doing now. I've come out to see this world. As you said, the more you look, the more exciting it becomes. This person is all kinds of things, and it's very lively."

......

the next day.

Xue Nian, who had been sleeping for a night, was stabbed by the sun, opened her eyes hazy, drooping her eyelids, and her face was covered.

"Awaken?" Lu An was eating steamed buns aside.

Xue Nian nodded.

"Come here for breakfast." Lu An said.

Xue Nian came over quickly and felt her stomach empty. She picked up a steamed bun and started gnawing.

"Master, you must win today!" Xue Nian suddenly spoke.

Lu An smiled and replied, "It's okay to beat others, just don't embarrass others."

Xue Nian didn't understand what this meant at all, and looked puzzled.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian in a confused manner and then changed the statement, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and it's okay to lose. Just win back next time."

Xue Nian nodded immediately and said with a smile: "I often hear our deputy generals say this, but they always say it after losing, and it's not ashamed. The master is still smart. Now I say it's not embarrassing to lose, hehe."

Lu An glanced at it, then he then covered his iron sword with cold blood on his back and his waist.

Open the door.
