Chapter 1082 Last Wish
An hour later, Su Yi ended the discussion with Master Jue. Seeing the sunset slanting down, Su Yi said goodbye at the right time.
"Master, it's getting late and I want to leave. Thank you very much, Master, for condescending to discuss important matters with me, a nobody like me. I'm very grateful!" Su Yi said with cupped hands.
Master Miejie said with profound eyes: "There is no way to go without friends. Who in the world does not know you? Su Shaoxia, people like you will become famous all over the world sooner or later! I am really impressed that I can get to know a young knight like you." I’m glad that I have a successor to the righteous path of martial arts!”
"Master, I'm so flattered that I don't deserve it." Su Yi hurriedly humbled himself.
Master Jiejie said seriously: "The plan you and I have made today is related to the safety of the martial arts in the Central Plains, and even our Han family's plan to resist the Yuan Dynasty. It is really no small matter! I should be the leader of the six major sects and act according to the plan. On the contrary, Su Shaoxia is on the side. You are alone, so be careful and don’t take risks.”
"Thank you so much for your concern, Master!" Su Yi said, "I was just investigating in secret, but Master wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy with open swords and spears. I can't help you. I would like to sincerely wish Master and Zhengdao Wulin a great victory!"
After a pause, Su Yi said with emotion: "My master made three last wishes before his death. I have been at a loss since I left the world, and I am frightened and don't know how to fulfill my master's wish. It was not until I met my master today that I finally understood I have confidence and hope, and I’m so lucky to be able to work with my master on big things!”
"Respect your master's three last wishes?" Master Miejie's eyes flickered, "Listen to Su Shaoxia, does your last wish of respecting your master include expelling the Tartars?"
"Master Tai Ming Jian!" Su Yi clasped his fists seriously, "My master followed the ancestral precepts all his life and lived in seclusion. It was only before his death that he realized his falsehood and decided to let me, the Xiaoyao Sect, break the oath and show it to save the people. He made three major wishes before his death. Hope I finish it.”
"The first one is to drive out the Tartars and restore our Han family! Because of this, I have overestimated my ability and participated in such a grand martial arts event with my humble body, trying my best to keep the anti-Yuan fire."
Master Miejie said with emotion: "My master Guo Xiang also had three wishes before his death. The first one was to drive away the Meng Yuan and restore our country. It is a pity that the younger generations are unworthy and have done nothing for decades, which actually brought shame to our ancestors... Back then... I also aspired to do great things, but it's a pity..."
Master Miejie felt a little sad, as if she remembered the high-spiritedness of her youth.
Su Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled and continued: "Fortunately, my master's second last wish has been fulfilled, which is to find the Nine Yang Manual that was lost by Senior Doujiu Monk."
Master Miejie's expression changed, and his attention was instantly pulled back.
It would be a lie to say that she is not interested in the "Nine-Yang Manual". After all, the Emei Sect was established based on only one-third of the Nine-Yang Divine Art.
If Su Yi was an evil heretic, the exterminator would have long ago found a way to restrain Su Yi and force him to reveal the contents of the "Nine Yang Manual".
To deal with the enemy, Master Miejie would do whatever he wanted.
But now Master Miejie has completely trusted that Su Yi is a fellow martial artist and an upright young warrior. As a result, she will not despise taking advantage of others.
Therefore, Su Yi mentioned the "Nine Yang Manual" three times today, and Master Jiejie responded with silence and did not make any remarks.
It’s just that the mood is inevitably complicated.
Master Miejie changed the subject and said, "So, has Master Su fulfilled his third wish?"
Master Miejie asked casually, but Su Yi looked embarrassed: "Uh... this... not yet, not yet... haha..."
Seeing that this confident and graceful young knight rarely showed off his girlishness, Master Miejie was greatly amused and curious in his heart: "Is this the third last wish of my respected master, is it difficult for the young knight to express it?"
"That... is not true." Su Yi said awkwardly, "This... since it is the master's inquiry, I will naturally tell you the truth. My master has been lonely all his life, and I am afraid that I will learn from him and waste my life for the sake of the sect. Therefore, his third last wish is for me to marry at least four wives and have eight children... Haha, I am ashamed, ashamed..."
Master Miejie was too dumbfounded.
It took a long time for her to come back to her senses. She couldn't help laughing, but also sighed: "My dear master, I can best relate to this wish. If he hadn't regarded you as his own, he would never have made this wish."
"Yes, my master is indeed very good to me." Su Yi agreed, "Because of this, I will definitely fulfill his last wishes one by one, and I will never hesitate in the slightest."
Master Miejie couldn't help but ask: "So, has Young Master Su found the person he likes?"
"Never, never." Su Yi showed a look of embarrassment again, hesitated slightly, but still clasped his fists and said to Master Jue: "I'm going to take the liberty of saying that Emei is a well-known and decent sect, and the disciples under it must all be of good character. If there are female disciples of the right age, I hope Master Tai can cut off love and make a match."
Miejie was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression: "Young Master Su, you actually asked me to be your matchmaker and introduce one of my disciples to you as your wife? You really..."
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Su Yi became even more astonished, "I have just entered the world of mortals and know nothing about men and women. If I rely solely on myself, I may not be able to fulfill my master's will. I am a senior who I respect, so I have to ask for help rashly."
Master Miejie still had a strange look on her face, as if she couldn't laugh or cry: "Well... ask me to be a matchmaker..."
She has lived for such a long time, and this is the first time for an older girl to get on a sedan chair and be asked like this.
"Well, it's just that I've said something before. This girl has to accept that I have a wife." Su Yi said, "It's not that I'm being carefree, it's just that I can't disobey my teacher's orders..."
"Okay, this matter... I will think about it." Master Miejie interrupted him hastily.
"Thank you for your concern, Master." Su Yi bowed respectfully.
Master Miejue shook her head: "My sect will have to rest here for one night before setting off. Young Master Su, please go ahead."
"Yes, I will ask Xu Da and the other three to meet up with the Emei Sect before Master leaves." Su Yi said, "I'll take my leave!"
Master Miejue nodded and was about to say "I'm sorry I can't see you off", but suddenly something happened in her mind and her eyes swept over her disciples one by one.
Finally, her eyes fixed on Zhou Zhiruo.
"Zhiruo, come here!"
Zhou Zhiruo hurried over and bowed her head respectfully: "Master, what do you want?"
"Please see Young Master Su off for me and give him some dry food and water." Master Miejue said.
"Yes, Master!" Zhou Zhiruo responded without hesitation and turned to Su Yi and said: "Young Master Su, please!"
Su Yi bowed to Miejue again and said goodbye, then politely nodded to Zhou Zhiruo, and the two walked out together.
Nun Miejue looked at the backs of the two people leaving and felt that they were particularly well-matched. She couldn't help but think about it.
Zhou Zhiruo is exactly 18 years old this year. In modern times, she is just the age to finish the college entrance examination and enter the university campus.
But in her time, she was already a famous female knight of the younger generation.
Because she has been practicing martial arts since childhood, her legs are very slender and tight, strong and contain wild beauty.
But her upper body is full of the slender and delicate beauty of Jiangnan women.
She is not as petite and unruly as Yin Li. She has a perfect blend of gentle and delicate temperament and cold and dynamic temperament.
Zhou Zhiruo is curious about Su Yi, a master who has always been strict, and is so kind to a young man. He also implicitly puts him on an equal footing to communicate with each other. This is unimaginable in Zhou Zhiruo's view.
Especially Su Yi's martial arts.
In the inn before, he was able to fight with his master on equal terms. How did she do it when she was so young and could develop such a shocking internal force?
She was born in the Emei Sect and rarely came into contact with men of the same age. At this moment, she walked side by side with Su Yi. The unique masculine scent of Su Yi went straight into her nose, making her heart pounding. She was curious and excited, but also shy.
She just lowered her head and said nothing. She took Su Yi to get dry food and water. Seeing that she was about to fill a bag, Su Yi saw that she was still stuffing it in, so she reminded her: "Miss Zhou, you don't need so much."
"Oh." Zhou Zhiruo stopped putting it away, packed the bag and handed it to Su Yi.
Su Yi took it and thanked her with a smile.
"You're welcome." Zhou Zhiruo replied, and then stopped talking again.
Su Yi asked, "Among the disciples of Master, it seems that Miss Zhou is the youngest?"
"That's true. I entered the sect late. Master often said that I was her last disciple..." Zhou Zhiruo said softly, while walking with Su Yi, she entangled the hair hanging on her chest uncomfortably with her hands.
"Master thinks highly of Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou is young and promising, and has a bright future." Su Yi nodded seriously.
Zhou Zhiruo said, "Young Master Su is also a young man. I think Master thinks highly of you. She has never been as kind to us as she is to you."
"You mean, Master is usually very strict with you and not kind at all?" Su Yi said.
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Zhiruo was startled and hurried to explain, but when she saw Su Yi's half-smile, she immediately knew that she was being teased.
Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she turned her head away shyly and whispered: "Young Master Su... so bad."
"It's better for a man to be a little bad," Su Yi said with a smile, "No one loves a man who is too honest."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart was pounding, and she was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She thought that this man was so shameless. He told people whether he loved her or not when they met for the first time. Isn't it too frivolous?
She wanted to scold him, but she couldn't say anything harsh with her temperament.
She just whispered: "Young Master Su... don't say such things to Zhiruo."
"You don't like it?" Su Yi asked with a smile.
"I..." Zhou Zhiruo's face was already red to her ears, "Young Master, please respect yourself."
Su Yi laughed and changed the subject: "Su's journey is dangerous, and I don't know whether I will live or die, but before leaving, I can have a beautiful woman like Miss Zhiruo to see me off. Even if I die, my life will not be in vain."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart beat even harder.
She rarely came into contact with men, and now she met an offensive player like Su Yi, and she couldn't stand it at all...
"Are you...are you going to do something very dangerous?" Zhou Zhiruo asked hesitantly.
"It's very dangerous, but I have to go." Su Yi smiled, "Miss Zhiruo, do you listen to your master?"
"Of course." Zhou Zhiruo didn't know why Su Yi suddenly asked this. She felt that this man was so strange and unrestrained. She didn't know what he was thinking.
"That's good!" Su Yi nodded and asked again, "What do you think of a man having three wives and four concubines?"
"This..." Zhou Zhiruo was a little confused. Is this a question that should be asked when they meet for the first time?
Fortunately, the two of them had already left the poplar forest at this time. Su Yi suddenly stopped, looked back at Zhou Zhiruo who looked confused, and smiled: "Miss Zhiruo, I hope we can meet again. If we meet again, are you willing to dance with a sword for me?"
"I..." Zhou Zhiruo's heart jumped up again, "Young Master Su, please respect yourself!"
She said weakly.
"Okay, take care of yourself." Su Yi smiled, "You should take care of yourself too."
Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly clasped his fists: "Take care, Young Master Su, too."
Su Yi smiled and clasped his fists: "No need to see me off, Miss Zhiruo, goodbye!"
"Young Master Su, goodbye!" Zhou Zhiruo said.
Seeing Su Yi turn around and leave, Zhou Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. She felt that the conversation just now was more nervous than dealing with the demon cult demon.
She took a few deep breaths before her breathing calmed down, and her hot cheeks gradually recovered. Then she turned back to the temporary station and returned to her master.
She originally thought that she could go to rest as long as she told her master, but she didn't expect that she was stopped by her master.
"Zhiruo, what did you and Su Shaoxia say?" Master Jue asked.
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned and said hurriedly: "Return to Master, we... didn't say anything."
She was a little uneasy and didn't know what Master Mie Mie meant.
"What do you think of Su Yi?" Master Jue asked again.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's hesitation, Master Jue emphasized: "Say whatever you think. Master must listen to the truth!"
"Yes!" Zhou Zhiruo didn't dare to hesitate anymore, "This disciple thinks that Su Shaoxia... is a bit frivolous, but he is still honest."
"Frivolous..." Master Miejie frowned, "What did he say to you? Or did he do something abrupt?"
Zhou Zhiruo blushed and said, "He, he told his disciples about love and stuff, and he also asked them what they thought of three wives and four concubines..."
Master Miejie was stunned for a while, and his expression suddenly became weird.
He really doesn't know anything about men and women. How could he ask his daughter about this when they meet?
Master Miejie was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Master?" Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but spoke anxiously when she saw Master Miejie's expression was strange but she didn't say anything.
Master Miejie came back to his senses, coughed softly and said: "Zhiruo, Su Yi is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen who is both good in character and martial arts. This person will definitely be in the martial arts world in the future." The most rare thing is to shine and achieve something. , He has a kind heart and a big heart. You are my most proud disciple. For an outstanding young hero like Su Yi, you should have more contact with him and communicate more with him, both with you and with our Emei sect. It’s all good, understand?”
Zhou Zhiruo said respectfully: "Master, this disciple has written it down."
But he was thinking in his heart, when Su Yi asked himself if he would listen to the master, could he have guessed what the master would say?
When she thought of this possibility, her heart suddenly became confused again, and a strange and complicated feeling arose spontaneously.
