Early the next morning, before dawn, Meng Xiuyuan picked up his bag and prepared to set off.

When he walked to Zixiao Palace, he looked from afar and saw that Zhou Zhiruo had already been waiting there.

Spring is not yet open, and the weather is already cold. In addition, it is the morning when the sun has not yet fully risen. The mountain wind blows, making people tremble.

But if Xiao Zhou Zhi was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would not see her, he would miss her, so he didn't find a place to shelter her. Instead, he stood straight at the center of the entire martial arts training ground.

I don’t know how long she had been waiting, but she saw that her face was already pale and she was trembling when she spoke:

"Yeah...benefather."

While speaking, Zhou Zhiruo wanted to step forward and take two steps, and then salute Meng Xiuyuan.

But I didn't expect that it would be fine if I didn't move. When I moved, my legs were already numb and I had been standing for a long time, and I leaned forward alone but couldn't take a step, so I fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan waved a palm from afar, and used soft strength to lift Zhou Zhiruo's body up, then slowly walked to her and asked:

"How long have you been waiting here?"

Although Xiao Zhou Zhiruo felt that his legs were suddenly numb and tingling, he did not dare to neglect Meng Xiuyuan and quickly replied:

"Since your benefactor yesterday, I have never dared to leave here. I have only been to the cottage a few times in between..."

Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, because from what he saw, Zhou Zhiruo's expression at this time was completely different from lying.

This little girl actually stood in the cold winter with the mountain wind for half a day and a night.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but speak:

"You are so determined.

Let me ask you, didn’t I say I left early this morning? Didn’t you hear it clearly?

Even if I have to wait for me earlier, I will wait until midnight, and it will definitely be time to come.

Why do you have to suffer so much? Do you want to show your sincerity in apprenticing to a disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo nodded sincerely:

"I will not hide my benefactor, Zhiruo does have this thought in his heart.

Since you said you were going to test me, I naturally didn't dare to let my benefactor down.

Last time my benefactor asked me to make a choice, and I regretted it for a long time when I made a mistake.

I will never miss it again if I have another chance in front of me…”

Seeing that she was so young, she said such mature and resolute words, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed extraordinary as a person who could stir up the martial arts world in the original work.

Seeing the little girl's face was uncomfortable, shaking, and unsteady, Meng Xiuyuan paused for a moment and then spoke:

"You stretch out your hand."

After all, she was young and had no time to protect herself. Zhou Zhiruo had to stand for so long, and Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but worry about her.

Although she was going to test her, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want her to destroy the foundation of her body, so she would have any root cause.

Zhou Zhiruo didn't quite understand what Meng Xiuyuan meant, but he hurriedly did it and stretched out a cold little palm.

Meng Xiuyuan had nothing to worry about a child. He held her hand and slowly entered the pure yang true energy into his body using the technique of the [Healing Chapter] in the Nine Yin Sutras.

Zhou Zhiruo, who was originally cold and numb and had unbearable pain in her legs, felt a warm and comfortable warm current pouring in from her palms, which soon spread and surged through her body.

Every time this warm current reaches the body, all the cold and pain there will be dispersed, as if ice and snow melted under the warm spring sun.

Even the numb and tingling legs gradually relieved the pain because the meridians were unblocked.

Zhou Zhiruo felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but feel excited. He was surprised by Meng Xiuyuan's magical true energy, and also excited by the attitude Meng Xiuyuan showed.

In the faint morning light, Xiao Zhou Zhiruo looked at Meng Xiuyuan and couldn't help laughing:

"Thank you, Master..."

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he was shocked by her words and quickly interrupted:

"Wait, don't scream.

I don't know what you misunderstood, but I haven't said even half of the words I want to accept you as my disciple.

Don't make your own decisions."

"Oh..." Zhou Zhiruo blushed and was very disappointed when he heard this.

She thought that waiting for Meng Xiuyuan here was a test. So when she saw Meng Xiuyuan taking the initiative to use her skills to warm her up, she regarded it as her acceptance of herself and willingness to accept herself as her disciple.

Now it seems that she is smart enough to do it herself.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan did not have the habit of embarrassing others. Instead, he turned the Pure Yang true energy into Zhou Zhiruo's body twice, and then slowly took it back.

Then, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Zhou Zhiruo and explained:

"I have a booklet here, which is my diary, and I will leave it to you for safekeeping.

During my time down the mountain, you need to read it through.

When I come back, you have to find something from this book, something you think I'm doing wrong, and point out my mistakes in person.

And, then I will ask you to explain clearly, if it were you, what would you do about this matter?

Do you understand?"

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly felt that the warmth in his body was being pulled away and he was not very adaptable. After hearing Meng Xiuyuan talked so many words, he was even more stunned for a moment.

But after a moment, she still reacted, nodded first, and then asked Meng Xiuyuan carefully:

“I have already recorded what you said.

But I still don’t recognize words, how should I read your diary?”

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this:

"This is also one of the tests you have to do, and you will naturally solve them yourself."

After saying that, Meng Xiuyuan ignored Zhou Zhiruo, turned around and flew up, floated out a few steps on the way down the mountain, and his figure gradually dissipated in the distance.

What Zhou Zhiruo was so fashionable and didn't know was that the book she held in her hand was better than a "handbook for eliminating evil".

Its original body is the thin book used by Meng Xiuyuan to record the bandits described by Manager Dong on the road.

After Meng Xiuyuan returned yesterday, he added many details overnight, including the actions of the evil people he had heard and seen along the way, as well as the means he used to kill and eliminate them.

Even Meng Xiuyuan briefly described the story with the Gesang family and what he saw and heard in Hongmei Villa.

So Zhou Zhiruo waited for Meng Xiuyuan for one night. In fact, Meng Xiuyuan didn’t have a good rest, but instead lit the lights and stayed up late, and wrote for the whole night.

The purpose is mainly to give Zhou Zhiruo a shocking education.

In fact, Meng Xiuyuan's mind was actually inclined to affirm whether to accept Zhou Zhiruo as his disciple when she mentioned it yesterday.

In the original work of Yitian, there are not many outstanding people from the younger generation. Apart from Zhang Wuji, the protagonist, the ones that can be counted are Zhou Zhiruo and Song Qingshu.

If you say that as the master hopes, you have to find a talented successor, then Zhou Zhiruo, who comes to your door, is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, when it comes to personal background and moral character, Zhou Zhiruo was just a ten-year-old fisherman girl at this time, and it was the time to educate her.

Meng Xiuyuan doesn't care about what others do.

But if he really accepts disciples, Meng Xiuyuan dared not say that he would cultivate a hero who is kind and righteous and hates evil, but at least he cannot go too far against his own values.

With the martial arts methods that Meng Xiuyuan possessed and Zhou Zhiruo’s own talents, if she became a disciple, she would inevitably become a peerless master in the future.

With this ability, you naturally don’t have to care too much about gains and losses like ordinary people. In this chaotic world, you can live like Meng Xiuyuan now, just like Meng Xiuyuan is now.

Since this is the case, there are enough selfish and useless people in this world, so there is no need to add one.
