Chen Duo's eyes lit up and he looked at the Daoist without blinking.
"First, be my apprentice."
Lu You's voice is very calm.
"I will completely solve your Gu Poison problem and let you live like a normal person.
I will also take over the cause and effect between you and Nadou Tong. But you must promise to inherit my mantle wholeheartedly, and you must pass on what I teach you in the future.
I know that you are determined to die, so I give you a task that you can stick to.
There is no need to establish a sect, as long as you find a suitable successor and continue the lineage."
Chen Duo nodded slightly and continued to listen carefully.
"Second, don't be my apprentice, but accept me as your adoptive father, and I will adopt you as your daughter."
Lu You Put up your second finger.
"You are a poor person. I find you quite pleasing to the eye. You just need to provide for me until the end of your life."
In the same way, I will solve your Gu body problem, and I will also deal with the cause and effect between you and the company.
You can even learn from my inheritance, but I will still find another Inheritor, so you don't have to bear the responsibility of carrying it forward.
You can learn it, you can not learn it, you can even forget it completely, it's up to you."
"Third, don't be my apprentice."
Lu You paused slightly and continued.
"But I will help you mediate with the company so that they will no longer pursue you.
I will use a more dangerous way to solve your Gu Poison problem. If it succeeds, you can live a free life outside. If it fails...
You will turn into ashes."
"As for the fourth... everything remains as before, you just pretend you have never met me, and I will not interfere with your subsequent affairs."
Lu You finished speaking, retracted his finger, and waited for the girl in front of him to answer.
Chen Duo's eyes are bright.
"Can I really choose?"
"Of course, you can choose whatever you want. No matter which one you choose, I respect you."
Outside the yard, Chen Junyan suddenly called out several times.
Woof woof woof!
In the distance, villagers in the village were laughing, and their laughter floated in the wind.
Ma Xianhong stood at the door of the house, sighing in his heart. At this time, he could not choose for the other party. The most important promise between him and Chen Duo was freedom.
Even if he wanted to say, choose 1 or 2, he couldn't shout out.
Chen Duo lowered his head and looked at his hands on his knees. Those slender hands were wrapped in dark green protective clothing, and the details could not be seen through.
But only she knows what is contained in these hands...
Can I really still live like a normal person? Can I really expel it from my body?
Uncle Liao... I seem to have a choice now. Will you be happy for my choice...
She slowly closed her eyes, her face dazed.
"Master..."
When she said these two words, her voice was very light, as if she was shy, but also confused and chewing.
"Go ahead and choose, Chen Duo, you can do it."
In a daze, Chen Duo saw a young man in front of her, grinning and talking to her with a playful face.
"Chen Junyan, would it be better if I chose the first one?"
"I don't know. I'm just a figment of your imagination. You should make your own choice. No one's opinion matters. Isn't this what you desire most? Chen Duo..."
Chen Junyan scratched the back of his head, gave a thumbs up, and finally dissipated.
"I choose the first one."
But after she said it, her shoulders finally relaxed, as if she had put down something extremely heavy.
Chen Duo stood up and knelt in front of Lu You. At some point, there were crystal tears in his eyes.
"Start over, girl."
Lu You looked at her and suddenly smiled.
Even Sukuna can choose to start over, so what can't you do, silly kid.
Although you don't know who Sukuna is.
However, it is gratifying that I did not expect to achieve one of the two goals of going down the mountain now.
He showed a satisfied smile
"Very well, here's a cup of tea. From today on, you are my apprentice.
I will solve your Gu body problem, but I still need some time to prepare.
During this period of time, you will live in Biyou Village, eat and drink as you please, and play as you want."
Chen Duo poured a cup of tea for Lu You, then handed it to Lu You, then blinked his dark green emerald eyes, a little confused. "Is that it? Master."
"That's it."
Lu You replied, then drank the tea in one gulp.
"Don't worry about your cultivation. You have very good qualifications. Once the problem of the Gu body is solved, you can start practicing. I think you will be able to get started soon."
Chen Duo nodded obediently.
"During this period, you come to my place at two o'clock every afternoon, do you understand?"
"Understood, Master."
"If someone from the company comes to Biyou Village to look for you, ask them to come to me directly."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Duo still answered obediently, Lu You gently rubbed the other person's head. This girl has a quiet and peaceful temperament, which makes people feel pity for her.
In the following time, Chen Duo told Lu You about his past, revealing everything, even his thoughts of killing Liao Zhong.
"Uncle Liao... is a good man and the most important person to me. I hope he can approve the choice I make, even if I die..."
Death is really not scary to Chen Duo.
It's scary to have no choice.
Lu You was very pleased that the other party told everything.
No matter what, he doesn't like his apprentice who is hiding something from him. If the other party is willing to tell the truth, that's pure trust.
Even if Lu You didn't actually do anything, but just gave her a chance to make a choice, she would still be very grateful, and maybe she could still live a normal life?
Of course, she didn't dare to hope, fearing that this was just a dream, fearing that Lu You was simply using her... fearing that everything was a lie.
But at least, she feels happy now.
She chose a new path, and no one opposed or even approved of her.
When the time was almost up, Lu You took Chen Duo to eat the lunch prepared by Ma Xianhong, and then returned to the courtyard on the mountain for meditation.
As the sun set, Chen Duo squatted on the roof, looking up at the orange sky, and the light illuminated her holy face.
The little local dog lying next to the door immediately came over wagging its tail and rubbed its head against her calf.
Chen Duo squatted down and touched the dog's head.
Show a sweet smile.
However, in the following days, Biyou Village was not as leisurely as before, but gradually became lively.
After the news of Lu You's temporary stay at Biyou Village spread, Outsider came in an even more constant stream, not only those who came to submit clues about Gong Qing, but also those who had great knowledge.
Who doesn't want to see what kind of person this so-called living god is?
Of course, it would be difficult for most people to even meet Lu You if they weren't reporting clues.
After all, the village chief Ma Xianhong and Top Talent have told them not to take them to see Lu You if they are idle people.
After all, they are the ones responsible for the reception. If they let people go casually and end up annoying Lu You, they will definitely not be implicated.
But it is not without benefits for Biyou Village.
Because some people don't want to leave after they come.
Most of these are casual cultivators, running around without a plan. Considering that there are many Outsiders to partner with and there are also wholesale magic weapons to collect, what can you do if you join them?
Biyou Village's current place is quite big, with many houses. After all, Ruhua is there, and it is indeed very simple to build. Anyway, there is no shortage of places to live.
Ma Xianhong also has a character that doesn't refuse anyone who comes. As long as he doesn't have malicious intentions, he is willing to take him in.
Naturally, as time goes by, more and more Outsider live in the village, and eventually the original thirty or so turn into dozens, and the number is still increasing.
Of course, there are only those Top Talents. Most of those talented Outsiders have their own teachers.
It is impossible for them to completely join this originally unknown village.
Lu You also reminded Ma Xianhong: "People can pretend. If you think you can distinguish the good and evil of everyone, then so be it."
After Ma Xianhong heard this, he stopped receiving these Outsider. Of course, the increase in root equipment also made his Body-Cultivation Furnace progress soar, and it was almost complete.
