I have no regrets about my 2D world!

If it wasn't for buying some wine, he might not even bring any change.

As a successful Qi-refining practitioner, he no longer needs to eat.

Li Bai thought carefully about what else he could do, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything. He couldn't take out the gift, and it was not his turn to protect Huo Qing'e with Luo Bai there. Saying it out loud would only make him a laughing stock.

However, Luo Bai didn't make it too difficult for him. After seeing his thoughtful expression, he smiled and said, "No need for any gifts. This little girl is just an ordinary person now. Even if Brother Li gives her something, she won't be able to use it. If you really feel bad, you can help her out if you see her in trouble in the future."

"Thank you very much, Brother Luo." Li Bai responded with a fist salute.

Fortunately, Luo Bai gave him a way out, otherwise he would have wanted to go to some monster's cave to look for gold, silver and treasures.

But... am I still an ordinary person now?

Li Bai looked at Huo Qing'e thoughtfully, and glanced at Su Daji behind them.

"By the way, Brother Luo, is there any use for you keeping this monster? If there is any use, please keep an eye on it. Don't let it escape. Also, is it true that you said she stood still and I couldn't cut her down even if I chopped her?"

Li Bai looked at Su Daji curiously.

Now he is normal and doesn't care what happens to this monster, as long as she doesn't come out to harm people again. After all, being locked up is no different from being dead for these monsters that feed on humans.

So compared to Su Daji's future, he is now more interested in Su Daji's body and identity.

But before Luo Bai could open his mouth to explain, a figure quietly emerged.

"It's true, young man. You can't cut her without her defense."

Chapter 8: Master and Disciple Meet

Hearing a familiar voice coming from nowhere, Li Bai turned around to check, and was surprised when he saw the owner of the voice.

"You are the immortal from that time!"

"Indeed, young man, we meet again." Jiang Shang responded with a smile, then looked at Luo Bai: "I thought it was a pity that Su Daji was going to escape, but I didn't expect her to fall into your hands. It seems that God doesn't want her to live any longer."

"I didn't expect her to come here, but she did come at the right time." Luo Bai responded with a smile.

"How about taking her as Qing'e's apprenticeship gift? Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Shang was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, of course it's fine."

Seeing Jiang Shang's satisfied look, Luo Bai nodded slightly and pulled Huo Qing'e behind him to the front.

"Qing'e, this is the Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya from history. He is also the master I found for you to teach you the immortal arts. Are you willing?"

Huo Qing'e stared blankly at Jiang Shang in front of her. She never expected that a historical figure would appear in front of her like this, and he seemed to be very familiar with her Abai.

Seeing Huo Qing'e's stunned look, Jiang Shang didn't care. Instead, he said gently, "Qing'e, is that so? I am Jiang Ziya, who assisted King Wu in defeating King Zhou. If you are satisfied with me and are willing to be my apprentice, you can just call me Master."

"Master...Master..." Huo Qing'e murmured.

Satisfied, very satisfied. This is a famous figure in history and an orthodox immortal.

She originally thought it was just a legend, but she didn't expect it to be true!

"Hahaha, good, good, from today on, Qing'e, you will be one of the third generation of disciples of my sect. I didn't bring anything with me due to the hasty meeting today. When I bring this nine-tailed fox back, I will ask my brothers to train her into a magic weapon as a gift for you to become my disciple."

Jiang Shang was very happy. He was originally a little worried about what kind of disciple Luo Bai would find for him, but when he saw Huo Qing'e, this worry disappeared instantly.

Although he doesn't have much talent, it doesn't mean he won't appreciate other people's talents.

In his opinion, Huo Qing'e's talent is absolutely top-notch. With his guidance and Huo Qing'e's diligent practice, she may be able to become an immortal in less than a hundred years. If she can obtain some elixirs, rare treasures, etc., it may take even less time. Her future achievements will definitely be far superior to his.

Seeing that Huo Qing'e seemed to have not yet reacted, Luo Bai gently touched her and said, "Why don't you say thank you quickly."

"Thank you, Master!" Huo Qing'e shouted loudly.

With Luo Bai's reminder, she finally came to her senses. After saying thank you, she wanted to kneel down and salute, but before she bent down, she was dragged up by a soft force.

"No need for such a grand ceremony. To become my disciple, you only need to respect me in your heart, no need to show it."

"Yes, thank you, Master." Huo Qing'e responded after a slight pause.

Seeing that Huo Qing'e did not insist, Jiang Shang felt relieved.

His lineage still attaches great importance to etiquette. They usually bow to greet their senior brothers when they see them, and kneel down to worship when they need help from their master. However, looking at Huo Qing'e, it seems that she has a close relationship with Luo Bai.

Even if there is only a possibility that the two of them will be together in the future, he will definitely be held accountable for what happened today, whether Luo Bai knows it or not.

There is no other reason. This world does not allow people who look like sages to perform any etiquette to other people, unless they are also sages. If sages do not allow it, let alone the people who are closest to the sages.

If Luo Bai ever thinks of this matter one day, with just a thought, the heaven and earth will come to him to take action on his behalf without him having to do it himself.

So even if there was only a slight possibility, he would not want to see that happen.

"Okay, originally I should have taken you back to the sect to train, Qing'e, but recently there have been a lot of troubles because of this nine-tailed fox. How about you stay here for now and I'll pick you up after I've dealt with these things?"

"Of course you can. Just go and take care of your own things first." This time it was Luo Bai who responded.

"Qing'e, please stay here with me for now. You can come over anytime you're done with your work. I'll also leave this fox demon to you."

As he spoke, Luo Bai waved his hand, and Su Daji, who had been standing aside, floated in front of Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang narrowed his eyes and waved his sleeve at Su Daji, and Su Daji's figure disappeared.

"In that case, I'll go take care of other things first."

"You walk slowly."

Jiang Shang nodded gently and turned to leave, but when he passed Li Bai, he paused briefly, glanced at him, and smiled slightly, saying, "Keep going, young man. I hope to see you in heaven one day."

After saying that, the figure disappeared.

After Jiang Shang left, Li Bai looked at Luo Bai with a complicated expression.

Their conversation just now did not avoid him, what with Jiang Ziya, Su Daji, and becoming a disciple. His brain was a little confused now.

The fox demon he's been chasing is Su Daji?!

That old immortal turned out to be Jiang Ziya, and he stayed here just to capture Su Daji?!

This newly recognized sister-in-law actually became Jiang Ziya's apprentice?!

Also, this big brother seems to be even more powerful than Jiang Ziya?!

What happened in just a quarter of an hour was enough to keep him awake tonight. While connecting these things in his mind, he suddenly thought of another thing.

Although his ancestor was also an immortal, he was definitely not as famous as Jiang Ziya. After all, he was just a wandering immortal, so he should have needed to bow when seeing Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya seemed to respect Luo Bai very much, so Luo Bai's status should be higher than Jiang Ziya.

So the question is, as Luo Bai's brother, if he meets his ancestor one day, how should he address him?

Was it he who saluted the ancestor, or was it the ancestor who saluted him?

Li Bai couldn't help but hold his forehead.

No, my head itches. I need a brain.

Although these thoughts were rather troublesome, they only lasted for a moment in Li Bai's mind.

Temporarily discarding these thoughts in his mind, Li Bai looked at Luo Bai with a wry smile and said, "Brother Luo, what happened today is really serious. Can you let me go away and sort it out? We can continue another day."

"Of course. Brother Li, you must have a good rest when you go back." Luo Bai chuckled.

"Phew, thank you very much, Brother Li. See you later!"

"See you later."

Seeing that Luo Bai agreed, Li Bai did not stop, without even drawing his sword, he turned around and walked slowly.

Watching Li Bai's figure gradually disappear, Luo Bai glanced at Huo Qing'e beside him.

"Let's go back. The show is over. It's time to get back to work."

"Oh, alright."

Then, Luo Bai brought the still confused Huo Qing'e back into the house.

And just as they entered the house, people gradually appeared on the originally empty street, and soon it became lively.

......

night.

In the imperial city.

"How is it? Have you found any news about that demon fox?"

It was still the familiar secret bedroom, the familiar curtains, and the familiar voices, but the person who came this time was someone else.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have received information from a Qi cultivator named Li Bai."

The visitor held a rolled-up paper in both hands and stood in front of the curtain with his head bowed.

"Put it there."

"Yes." The visitor placed the toilet paper on a tray beside him, then bowed and left.

After a moment, a hand reached out from behind the curtain and picked up the roll of paper.

“...Boss Luo...Huo Qing'e...Immortal...” the owner behind the curtain muttered to himself.

Chapter 9: Imperial Decree? Marriage Contract!

A brand new day begins with the little maid serving tea and water.

"Qing'e, give me some of those snacks."

"Qing'e, I'm a little thirsty, pour me a glass of water."

"Qing'e..."

Luo Bai sat leisurely on the lounge chair at the door, basking in the sun, and from time to time he called Huo Qing'e to do some small things.

"Qing'e..."

"Stop shouting, Abai, you're so annoying!"

Finally unable to bear Luo Bai's constant shouting, Huo Qing'e walked out of the house with a puffed face and sat next to Luo Bai.

Looking at Huo Qing'e's dissatisfied expression, Luo Bai smiled and said nothing.

Ever since she became Jiang Shang's disciple a few days ago, Huo Qing'e has become arrogant in front of him.

That night, he dared to tell him to serve tea and water, and said that he would definitely surpass him in the future. He made him do these things now so that he would have a reason to protect him in the future.

Then Huo Qing'e spent the whole night on the roof letting the cold wind blow, which cleared her little head.

It is possible that she will surpass Luo Bai in the future, but that doesn’t mean she is better than Luo Bai now?

After figuring it out, Huo Qing'e has been obediently responding to Luo Bai's orders these days.

I can pour tea when I am asked to, get things when I am asked to, and lie on the bed when I am asked to... No, I haven't done that yet.

In short, be obedient in all ways.

However, this state did not last long. Now she decided not to do it. She just let the cold wind blow. She wouldn't get sick anyway. Just consider it as wintering in advance.

"Haha, you can't bear it. Aren't you still thinking about protecting me in the future? This level of practice is far from enough." Luo Bai said with a smile.

"I quit! Whoever wants to protect you can do it! What do you call it... giving up? Yes, I am giving up!" Huo Qing'e said angrily, staring at Luo Bai, as if she wanted to see another expression on Luo Bai's face.

However, Luo Bai kept smiling without any change.

"You're not fit for practice if you act like this."

"It's not like I'm repairing it with you anyway!"

"But I can tell Jiang Ziya."

"you!"

Huo Qing'e was full of disbelief, as if she had not expected Luo Bai to say such words. But seeing that Luo Bai did not seem to be joking, her dissatisfied expression disappeared, revealing a pitiful look.

"Abai, I know I was wrong. You must not do this. If my cultivation is slow and I cannot become an immortal because of this, then you... you will never see me again... wuwu..."

Her look really made Luo Bai not even blink.

"Really? Then you better be obedient."

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, my shoulders are a little sore." Luo Bai suddenly frowned.

Huo Qing'e immediately came behind him.
