Chapter 354 - 351: The Master Is Too Frivolous
Qin Liuxi returned to her own shop and from a distance, saw her precious apprentice sitting cross-legged on the stone slab at the entrance, deep in meditation, which made her chuckle.
Teng Zhao seemed to have heard the laughter, abruptly opened his eyes, and turned his head to see that it was indeed his mischievous master, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Liuxi had not returned home all night, so he didn’t sleep a wink, either. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still feared that she would leave and not come back, abandoning him.
Qin Liuxi had already approached and sat down next to him, leaning over: "Why is our Zhaozhao sitting here and meditating? Don’t you think it’s dirty outside? For your cultivation, I’ve set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the Daoist Room and inscribed it with Scripture Runes. There’s also a Daoist essence inside. Cultivating there would yield twice the results with half the effort."
Regarding her unceremonious lean, Teng Zhao stiffened and shifted to the side, and she just followed suit.
Perhaps feeling that this movement was uncomfortable for them both, he sat back up straight.
Qin Liuxi pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, ruffling his hair: "What have you been up to these last couple of days?"
"Cultivation, talisman drawing, reading, memorizing the meridian charts, memorizing medical texts, and distinguishing medicinal herbs," Teng Zhao responded concisely.
Qin Liuxi’s eyes curved in a smile: "Being studious is good, but you must also understand the importance of balancing work and rest."
"No need," Teng Zhao refused coldly. He thought his schedule was well-organized and fulfilling. Like a sponge, he was absorbing knowledge he had never seen before, endlessly. Most importantly, he was very interested, unlike before, when he mostly just played chess and practiced calligraphy.
Qin Liuxi used both hands to adjust his face, pinching it together and said, "What the master says goes. You’re already seven; you can still play."
Teng Zhao glared.
