The prince is very fierce

The lake is as flat as a mirror, the ripples caused by the oars spread, and the full moon in the water rises and falls.

There was only one small boat on the vast lake. Under the night wind, the whole world became quiet.

The men and women in white are sitting on the small boat, far away from the world. Under the reflection of the starry sky, they feel like they are floating in a lonely boat in the river of stars.

"It's a pity that I shouldn't have accepted you as my apprentice..."

Ning Yuhe's hair beside her ears swayed gently with the night wind. The paddle in her hand stopped at some point. She just looked at the full moon in the sky and thought of something. There was a bit of longing in her eyes, shining brightly. It was completely different from the gentle and quiet person in the past, and even showed a bit of agility that only a little daughter could have.

Xu Buling sat in front of him and looked at the moon in the sky:

"Why? Do you think I'm not suitable to be an apprentice?"

"No...it shouldn't be collected..."

Ning Yuhe sat quietly on the boat, her green earrings swaying in the night wind, and thought for a while:

"... When I was a child, I was just a concubine. I had no status at all in the prosperous Tang family. I was not even as good as the older maids. My martial arts talent was acceptable, but the swordsmanship of the Tang family was passed down from male to female. Naturally, I was not convinced...

...At that time, like you, I also longed for the free world. At that time, I thought about becoming a heroine when I grow up, traveling around and doing chivalry, and then I met a Jianghu hero who had the same atmosphere. Let’s travel around the world together…”

Having said this, Ning Yuhe raised his eyes and looked at Xu Buring's side face:

"Do you remember the last time we rode a horse back together after being attacked by assassins outside Chang'an City?"

Xu Buling's memory is still fresh. The bellyband is still in the box. How could he forget: "Of course I remember that I risked my life to save the master, and the master bandaged my wound..."

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to look at the moon in the sky:

"My childhood imagination was just like that. I was a chivalrous girl riding a horse and wielding a sword, traveling around. Suddenly one day, I met a special person in a special place. Maybe we took a boat together, and then we met like that. On...

... That man was gentle, elegant, and handsome. He might be a scholar who didn't know martial arts, or he might be a knight with strong martial arts skills. He was kind-hearted and polite in conversation. He happened to look at me one more time... Then there were two people riding a horse. Horses travel all over the world. Until one day when we were tired from walking, we went back to the place where we first met, the thatched cottage and bamboo house, raised our children, and lived in peace and quiet until the day we closed our eyes... That's what I imagined the world to be like..."

Children of the Jianghu, chivalrous and tender, who in the world does not yearn for them?

Xu Buling had a smile in his eyes: "Actually, the Jianghu in my imagination is similar to what Master imagined."

Ning Yuhe blinked his eyes and sighed faintly: "It's a pity that fate has played a trick on me. Before I grew up, I went astray. I became a queen first, and finally I went to Changqing Temple and became a man who has cut off the world of mortals. Taoist nun...I thought I would never take that path in my life, but I didn't expect that I actually found the knight in my imagination..."

Ning Yuhe turned his head and looked at Xu Buling as he spoke, with a sincere look and a bit of regret:

"... He is handsome, gentle and elegant, and he is also highly skilled in martial arts. The key is that he also has a chivalrous heart. The only shortcoming is that he is a bit lustful..."

Xu Bu Ling originally nodded slowly, but when he heard the last sentence, his face stiffened slightly, looking a little innocent.

"But I'm very satisfied. I thought that such a man could only exist in my imagination, but I didn't expect that I would meet him so suddenly... It's a pity that I came ten years too late. I shouldn't have accepted you." As an apprentice..."

After Ning Yuhe finished speaking softly, he looked at the full moon in the lake, showing a bit of disappointment.

Xu Bu Ling was silent for a moment, sat a little closer, pressed closely against Ning Yuhe, and said curiously:

"If I didn't become a disciple, would I just..."

Ning Yuhe shook his head and naturally rested his head on Xu Buling's shoulder, looking at the full moon in the lake:

"If we didn't become apprentices, we should be able to be a couple of heroes like we are now. I am a few years older than you, so you wouldn't care..."

"Of course not."

Xu Bu Ling's body visibly stiffened slightly, his soft hair stuck to his cheeks, and the faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, feeling a little distracted.

Ning Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, then thought for a while: "I really want to get married. I have had enough of being alone in the Taoist temple. I just escaped from the emperor's marriage. No one in the world dares to marry me... You can't even marry the Queen Mother." If you dare to touch me, you should dare to marry me, right?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"...Alas~"

Ning Yu rolled her hair around her ears with her jade fingers, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I have accepted you as my apprentice. The master-disciple status is as high as heaven, and you can't mess around... In fact, it's okay to be a master, that's all. By staying with you, I have fulfilled my childhood wish..."

Having already taken such initiative, Xu Bu Ling seemed unable to sit still. After a little hesitation, he raised his arms and put his arms around Ning Yuhe's shoulders, and said softly:

"Master hasn't taught me anything anyway, so it doesn't count..."

"No... I am a serious woman of the Jianghu, and the master and the disciple are the master and the disciple... But it seems to be God's will. When I left Changqing Mountain at the beginning of the year, I read the fortune for myself, and the hexagram was 'When you encounter a trapped dragon and it turns into rain, don't look at it, because if you look at it, it will be difficult to look back'. At that time, I thought I could see a real dragon, and I looked for it along the way, but I didn't find it, so I thought the hexagram was fake... In the end, I found out that the trapped dragon was you, and the rain was the queen mother. I saw you two doing something... Since you have seen it, you can't look back. Something will definitely happen to us. This is God's will..."

Xu Buling didn't believe it, but at this time, naturally He followed the words and said:

"Since it is difficult to change the will of heaven, then find a way. Master expelled me from the sect and followed the will of heaven..."

Ning Yuhe shook his head gently: "Even if they are expelled from the sect, they are still master and apprentice. How can a master marry his apprentice? If it gets out, people will laugh at him... But since the hexagram has come true, this disaster will come sooner or later. You and I are definitely destined to be together. If there is such a day, you must never tell anyone about it..."

This is not a question of whether to tell anyone or not...

Xu Buling thought for a while, raised his hand, lifted Ning Yuhe's chin, and looked at the white cheek close at hand:

" Master, do you like me?"

"I..."

Ning Yuhe's face turned red, showing a rare shyness. She turned her eyes away and thought for a while:

"I don't know... But you blocked the arrow for me that time, so I must like you. Riding on the horse, I bandaged you with a bellyband for some reason, and I was distracted. I was thinking about these things at the time... Later I found out that you had seen my body. I was not angry at all, but I felt ashamed. I am your master, how could you look at me and hide it from me... I regretted it a few days after leaving Chang'an... You see, I saved me because of you. , we are not master and disciple yet. It was probably arranged by God. I took you as my disciple for no reason and ruined things. If I hadn't taken you in, we might have been together... I just like knights. For someone like you, I can only say that fate is playing tricks on me. God deliberately targeted me..."

Xu Buling thought for a while: "When I said I would marry you, I really wanted to marry you... Of course, I wanted to take responsibility for my master's body..."

"I don't need you to take responsibility..."

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly: "I am your master, you have to be filial to me."

"..."

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly, speechless...
