Chapter 2908: Accepting a Disciple
In a small town in the west of Ziyang Continent, an ordinary young warrior came, holding the hand of a little girl. The little girl was very beautiful, like an elf. Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, she was still beautiful. Needless to say, she would definitely be a top beauty when she grows up.
Unfortunately, the little girl had a cold personality. She kept walking with her head down, and her face was very gloomy. It seemed that everything around her could not attract her interest and attention.
"Alas..."
Lu Li looked back at An Luer and sighed slightly. He had already left the An family's territory with An Luer. He bought new clothes for An Luer, took her to eat delicious food, and helped her refine spiritual medicine to suppress the cold and yin energy. An Luer was good at everything and cooperated with everything, but she seldom spoke, like a child with autism.
Lu Li took him out of the town and walked towards a nearby town. There was a strange place there, and he wanted to see it. It is said that there is an immortal tree over there. It has remained the same for hundreds and thousands of years. It has never changed. It does not shed leaves, bloom, or bear fruit. It has been like this for thousands of years.
Many people have visited this tree, but no one has found any clues. Many people want to cut it down, but ordinary warriors cannot destroy it at all. Then an emperor from Ziyang Continent came over. After observing it for a long time, he said that this tree is an ominous tree and asked people not to approach it or destroy it.
Everyone naturally believed the emperor's words, so no one approached the tree and no one paid attention to it. Lu Li did not believe in the ominous saying at all. Since he came here, he naturally had to go and see it.
The town was not far from the city. Lu Li walked into the town with An Luer. There were not many people in the town, only a few hundred people, and no strong people. The strongest was a three-tribulation. The strange combination of Lu Li and An Luer attracted a lot of attention, but the people here were very simple. No one showed malice to the two of them, but smiled at An Luer.
An Luer had no expression on her face and kept walking with her head down. Lu Li shook his head secretly and walked to the foot of a hill next to the town, where he saw the immortal tree.
The tree was very big, with lush branches and leaves, and there was nothing underneath. There was not a single weed for miles around, and only some thick roots could be seen. Lu Li stood under the tree and looked at the tree. After a while, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. An Luer sat cross-legged on the side, practicing silently alone.
Lu Li stood there for a full hour. When he opened his eyes, he was full of doubts. He found some strange things about the immortal tree, but he couldn't understand it in a short time. He always felt it was mysterious.
"Stay here!"
Lu Li looked at it for a while and made up his mind. This tree touched him deeply in his soul. He believed that if he stayed here for a while,
he would definitely gain something.
If he was alone, it didn't matter. But if An Luer was here, Lu Li would be particular. An Luer is a child, and now is the time for her to grow up. She is still traumatized. If she is not guided well, she will go astray.
He thought about it and walked to An Luer, smiling and said: "Luer, can we live here for a while?"
An Luer opened her eyes, did not speak, but nodded slightly. Lu Li said again: "Then how about we work together to build a house? A house that belongs to us."
In fact, there is an inn in the town. Lu Li has a lot of magic stones, and he can also buy a small manor. But Lu Li did not do so, but chose to build it with An Luer.
An Luer's family was destroyed. She must feel like a homeless child now. If she can rebuild her home with her own hands, it will definitely give her some sense of accomplishment and security.
"House? Good!"
Sure enough, An Luer's eyes lit up slightly and stood up. Lu Li looked around and took An Luer to another hill next to him. There were many trees and a stream there.
Lu Li took out a sword and handed it to An Luer, saying, "You go cut down trees, and I'll go build the foundation!"
"Okay!"
An Luer went up the mountain with the sword, and Lu Li went to the nearby big rock. He then split the stones into square stones, and then brought the stones over to start building the foundation next to the stream at the foot of the mountain.
Although An Luer was small, she was in the second calamity realm, so cutting down trees was naturally not a problem. She turned back quickly and transported the big tree trunks back.
After Lu Li built the foundation, An Luer had already cut down more than a dozen big trees and came back. Lu Li taught her how to split the trees and then quickly built them up. It was a waste of talent for Lu Li, an emperor, to build a house. Soon a large wooden house and a small wooden house were successfully built.
Lu Li only did some simple things, but let An Luer do those trivial things. For example, building a small bed for An Luer, digging a toilet, and making wooden tables and chairs, Lu Li guided them, and An Luer completed them alone.
Then Lu Li took out some quilts from the space ring and asked An Luer to spread them. He also waved his hand and asked An Luer to collect some flowers and plants to decorate her room.
"Xue Ling'er, set up a protective formation!"
Lu Li considered that he might have to meditate under the immortal tree during this period, so he asked Xue Ling'er to set up some magic arrays to protect An Luer. Although the distance was very close, no one could easily get close with his perception, but Lu Li still decided to be careful.
An Luer came back from collecting flowers and plants, and brought back a stray puppy. Lu Li did not blame her, but nodded slightly and said, "Keep it, it will keep you company. Go and give it a bath, it stinks!"
An Luer smiled for the first time and took the stray dog to the creek. Lu Li looked at the stray dog with a melancholy look in his eyes.
He thought of Xiaobai, the little beast that grew up with him and fought with him. Xiaobai had been missing for many years and had never been found. Lu Li was desperate and thought that Xiaobai should be dead, otherwise it would not have appeared for so long.
When An Luer came back, Lu Li took out some broken gods and asked An Luer to go to the town to buy some food.
He did not need to eat, but An Luer did. He asked An Luer to go because he wanted her to get in touch with other humans. He just sensed that there were some simple civilians in the town, and hoped that the kindness of these civilians could heal the trauma in An Luer's heart.
An Luer listened to him very much and went to the town with the puppy. Lu Li stood there without moving, but his divine thoughts were always locked on her. It was not until she successfully bought some meat that Lu Li nodded slightly.
He grilled the meat himself and made a delicious dinner for An Luer. The puppy also got some. After eating, it lay down at An Luer's feet obediently.
Lu Li ate almost nothing. After An Luer finished eating and asked her to clean up, Lu Li looked at An Luer seriously and said, "Luer, do you want revenge?"
"Yes!" An Luer looked at Lu Li with a firm face.
"Then you become my disciple!"
Lu Li nodded slightly and said, "Kowtow three times. From today on, you are my disciple, Lu Li. I will teach you everything I know. Whether you can become a strong man depends on whether you work hard."
Upon hearing this, An Luer immediately knelt down heavily on both knees and kowtowed three times: "Greetings, Master!"
