Chapter 458 3 Raw Stones
"Yes, yes, this Taoist name is indeed suitable for me, so little system, please quickly retract your magical powers!"
Bai Yue had no choice but to ask Xiao 1 to stop the magic sound attack immediately.
"Don't you like this name?"
Lingxuzi finally couldn't suppress the uneasiness surging in his heart. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and there was a hint of cautious tentativeness in his voice.
"No, no, this name is quite good. It's like being foolish while being wise!"
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Xiao 1's familiar electronic voice immediately followed, so fast that it seemed as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"No, you are mentally retarded!"
"..."
Bai Yue simply chose to ignore the system's unremitting mockery of her. Just as she moved her wrist slightly and was about to imitate Xiao Yi's movements and bow with one hand, Lingxuzi suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"What? Are you regretting this?"
Bai Yue raised her eyes, her eyes full of confusion, but saw Lingxuzi stretch out his long arm and pull her into his arms. His palm pressed against her waist through her clothes. The next moment, the two of them leaped out of the hall like an arrow.
"You can all go your separate ways. When you return..."
In a flash, she vaguely heard Lingyou's voice calling everyone from behind, and the wind whistled past, blowing her hair into the air.
"Is the apprenticeship over? Where is this person taking me?"
Bai Yue looked up at Lingxuzi suspiciously, only to see that his jaw was slightly tense, his eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes, and his face was as calm as a deep pool without ripples, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"Master, what are we doing..."
"Apprenticeship!"
The other party interrupted Bai Yue's question with very concise words, and when she heard the word "apprentice", the confusion on her face became even stronger.
"But just now we were in the main hall..."
"That was just the naming, the formal ceremony is coming next!"
Lingxuzi's face was still calm and indifferent, but the red tips of his ears quietly revealed his confused thoughts that he was trying hard to suppress.
"Oh!"
After listening to the explanation, Bai Yue lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing her so quiet, the other party couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts again.
"I remember she wasn't very talkative before. Why did she become so cold after meeting me this time? Could it be that she's already tired of me?"
The more Lingxuzi thought about it, the more panicked he became. His heartbeat was booming in his chest like a drum, and his arms around Bai Yue tightened unconsciously. Bai Yue noticed this slight abnormality, and she couldn't help but look at him.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?"
When she thought about the other person suffering from psychological stress disorder, she couldn't help but worry that he might have a seizure at this time.
"No, Dr. Lu's medicine is very effective. I'm already much better!"
When Lingxuzi saw Bai Yue taking the initiative to care about him, all his anxieties disappeared in an instant like morning dew meeting the rising sun. He looked at the genuine worry floating in her eyes, and suddenly warmth spread in his throat. His fingertips gently curled up and stretched, as if he wanted to carefully gather this tenderness into his palm.
"Brother Lu's medical skills are of course beyond reproach. Back then..."
Bai Yue suddenly paused here. Lingxuzi, who wanted to continue talking to her, saw this and couldn't help but ask.
"What happened then?"
"I was impressed by his medical skills at first, and I've admired him ever since!"
When she thought that the three words "Wenqu Kingdom" might remind Lingxuzi of herself, she skipped it and changed the subject.
"I adore him so much... So you adore him?"
The expression on Lingxuzi's face was like a thin layer of ice on a cold pond. The fingertips hanging by his side suddenly clenched the hem of his Taoist robe, and his knuckles turned blue and white.
"Admiration? Uh, Master, didn't you use the wrong word? Isn't respect more appropriate between men?"
She was confused by the other party's choice of words, and Lingxuzi was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
"If you were a woman, would you love him?"
"Master, you can't joke like that. I'm a real man. It's absolutely impossible for me to fall in love with a man!"
Bai Yue didn't understand why the other party would make such an assumption, so he could only raise his hand and swear, saying that he was definitely a straight man.
"..."
Lingxuzi watched her movements in silence. Bai Yue was worried, fearing that she would be thrown out in the next second. Just as she was panicking, the two of them finally landed on the ground. When she looked up, she saw a huge rock with a bumpy surface, about two meters long.
"This is?"
Looking at the bumpy surface of the stone, Bai Yue concluded in his heart that it must be a meteorite. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the rough texture, Lingyou's hurried shout suddenly came from behind him.
"If you touch it, you will find that this is the treasure of Zixiao Temple, the Three Lives Stone!"
"..."
When Bai Yue heard this name for the first time, she did feel a little uncomfortable. At this moment, the system in her brain suddenly laughed strangely, and even a bunch of devilish expressions such as "Who is mentally retarded? You are mentally retarded" popped up in front of her.
"Master Lingyou, Master Lingxi! Why are you here too?"
Bai Yue waved his hand as if to swat away a fly, dispelling the ghost face jumping in front of him, and then respectfully bowed to the two of them with one hand.
"Haha, isn't today a big day for you and the headmaster? So we both came here to be witnesses."
As Ling Xi spoke, he glanced at Ling Xuzi meaningfully, but the other party had already turned to the Three Lives Stone. In the end, no one could see through the expression hidden in the shadows.
"A big day? Are you talking about becoming a disciple? Then should Senior Brother Ling Wei and that little brother Xiao Yi come over too? After all, today is also their big day..."
Before Bai Yue could even utter the word "zi", Ling You suddenly started coughing loudly. When Ling Xi saw this, he knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly tried to make amends with a smile.
"You are our master's only disciple, so the ceremony of becoming a disciple is of course different from that of ordinary disciples. Come, come, come, now hurry over and worship the Three Lives Stone with your master!"
"Worship together... the Three Lives Stone?"
When Bai Yue heard this word, she couldn't help but think of the popular three-life love story in modern romance dramas. At this time, looking at Lingxuzi's back, she actually felt that he had a bit of the loneliness and coldness of the tragic male protagonist.
