The Disciple's Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 3

[Chapter 3: The disciple is too diligent and the master seems a bit lazy]

“Master, it’s time for dinner.” Dahu washed her face and called the master to eat.

“Hmm.” Li Xu tasted it. He didn’t expect that the dishes cooked by the disciple didn’t look very good, but they tasted really good.

Seeing that Dahu was still looking at him foolishly, her eyes were curved with a smile, and there were two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Li Xu looked at her and said:

“You eat too, don’t just stare at me, if you look too long, you will be immersed in the master’s face and can’t extricate yourself.”

“Hehe.”

Dahu sat down.

The master and the disciple began to eat.

After eating, Dahu ran to wash the dishes.

[Washing dishes, reward 100 diligence points, balance 3300 diligence points]

After washing the dishes, Dahu ran over excitedly: “Master, when will you teach me to practice?”

“Why are you in a hurry? Let’s talk about it later.”

“When is later?”

“Seven days later.”

Now the company is recruiting employees, and new employees report for work. Don’t they just slack off in the first week?

He had to follow this standard when recruiting apprentices. No matter how hard it was, he couldn’t make his apprentices suffer.

Besides, how could he teach his apprentices if he didn’t rest well? He

also wanted to use this time to find out what the system was like.

Also, after seven days, the ingredients in the kitchen should be almost used up.

He had to go to Fu Nong Town in Yuyang County to buy ingredients every half a month. When he did, he could teach her while buying ingredients. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

Dahu nodded and said, “Okay, Master, I’ll look around the academy.”

Li Xu said, “Just feel free. You’re welcome.”

After Dahu left, the system prompted again after a while.

[Cleaning the water tank, reward 100 diligence points]

[Cleaning the kitchen, reward 1,000 diligence points]

[Cleaning the green jade steps, reward 200 diligence points]

[Removing weeds from the garden, reward 500 diligence points]

[Mopping the corridor, reward 100 diligence points]

…

The system’s prompts never stopped, and diligence points floated out every once in a while.

Li Xu stayed in the room quietly, thinking: “It’s great to have a capable apprentice.”

[Remove weeds from the flowerpot, reward 100 diligence points, balance 10,000 diligence points]

[Do you want to consume 10,000 diligence points to exchange for Taoism?]

Li Xu said: “Hurry up and exchange.”

[10,000 diligence points have been consumed, successfully exchanged for the first-grade Taoism, Sowing Beans to Make Soldiers, balance 0 diligence points]

[Note: There is no upper limit to the diligence points earned during the system working hours;

a maximum of 20,000 diligence points can be consumed per day, and Taoism is randomly selected]

Li Xu touched his chin and said:

“Two kinds of Taoism every day, day by day, I am afraid that I will never use up all the diligence points, and I don’t know if the system will upgrade when it accumulates to a certain level?”

He was looking forward to it.

“Master, there are ducks and many rare birds and animals in the lake below the waterfall. Should we feed them?” Xiao Daxu hurried over.

“That’s a mandarin duck, not a duck. Don’t worry about such mature creatures. They will find food when they are hungry.”

“Oh, then Master, what are you doing? Why do you stay in the room all the time?”

“If I don’t stay in the room, where else can I stay?”

“Master, let me help you clean the room.”

“Is there such a good thing?”

Li Xu stood up and saw Daxu sticking her buttocks out and bending over to do intense exercises.

Starting from the coffee table, to the chair, and then to the window and the bed, her smell and traces were everywhere.

System prompts popped up one by one.

[Wipe the chair clean, reward 100 diligence points]

[Arrange the chairs neatly, reward 100 diligence points]

[Wipe the table clean, reward 100 diligence points]

[Fold the quilt, reward 100 diligence points]

[Wipe the window, reward 100 diligence points]

[Mop the floor, reward 100 diligence points]

…

[Wipe the threshold, reward 100 diligence points, balance 3000 diligence points]

After half an hour, the diligence points no longer popped up. It seems that my room is still too clean, unlike her room, which has more than 10,000 diligence points.

Li Xu asked, “Little Da’er, aren’t you tired?”

Da’er moved around in the room and said, “Master, I’m so bored and I always want to find something to do.”

Li Xu said: “Why don’t you go read some books? There is a library. You can work beside me, and I will just watch. I look a little lazy.”

He argued that he was not lazy, but his apprentice was too diligent.

Daxu shook her head: “Master, I don’t like reading. I would rather mop the floor than read.”

Okay.

You win.

Li Xu smiled: “Daxu, have you ever been exposed to cultivation?”

“Master, you don’t know, I have been to the top ten academies in Zhuanxu Country, and worshipped ten teachers, all of whom were very powerful teachers recommended to me by the chief priest of the Imperial Academy.” “But my comprehension is not good.

The cultivators with the worst comprehension can often communicate with the heaven and earth and break the mirror in half a year, but I can’t communicate with the heaven and earth in two years.”

“The chief priest of the Imperial Academy thought that there was something wrong with the teaching methods of the academy and the teacher, so he kept changing academies and teachers for me.”

Two years in each academy, which means that she couldn’t break the first realm in twenty years.

“These teachers were very patient in teaching me at the beginning, but in the end they all terminated the master-disciple relationship and asked me to find someone else. Finally, the chief priest of the Imperial Academy told me not to worry and told me to go west.”

“If I meet a teacher who is willing to take me as a disciple, then this teacher will be my lucky star.”

Li Xu smiled. It is not certain whether he is Xiao Daxu’s lucky star, but Xiao Daxu must be his lucky star.

“Do you also know the chief priest of the Imperial Academy?”

The chief priest of the Imperial Academy is the most powerful person in the Imperial Academy.

The country where Li Xu lives is called the Zhuanxu Dynasty, also known as the Zhuanxu Kingdom.

The Zhuanxu Kingdom has 72 counties and 360 academies.

The county he lives in is Yuyang County, and the academy is Taixu Academy, which ranks second to last among the 360 academies.

“Of course I know him. He is very polite to me, probably because I am the little princess of Qingqiu Kingdom.”

“Is it the Qingqiu Kingdom that borders the Zhuanxu Kingdom, the largest tourist country in Daozhou?” Li Xu looked at her in shock.

He knew this country. He heard that the scenery was beautiful, there were many monsters who turned into peerless beauties, and there were special services. They were good at singing and playing the flute.

It seemed that the hidden identity the system was talking about should be this one.

“Yeah.” Daxu nodded.

“I picked up a little rich woman this time.”

It seemed that the lazy lifestyle could be further refined.

Li Xu suddenly frowned: “No, why don’t you look like a rich person?”

“I was scared by a pack of wolves in the morning, lost my way, and was chased by two snakes for no reason. I crossed the bridge, but the bridge broke. The piranhas in the river chased me for a long time. The storage ring was lost. I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. As soon as I got ashore, I met three monks who said they wanted to peel my skin to make clothes. Then I met you, Master.”

“Storage ring, such a luxurious thing actually has it.”

Li Xu can only afford the cheapest storage bag at present. She even has a storage ring. She is worthy of being a little princess.

“Master, that storage ring is not expensive, only 500,000.”

Haha.

Is this the concept of a rich woman? I have a small vision.

[Trigger the mission, help the apprentice Daxu find the lost storage ring, and you will be rewarded with a fifth-grade Taoist method if you succeed]

Li Xu heard the voice in his mind, stood up, and slapped the table.

“It doesn’t matter whether you find the storage ring or not, the key is that you dared to bully my apprentice. Come on, take me to which bridge? Which river? Which group of piranhas are chasing you? Master will help you get revenge.”

“Master, no need.”

“No, this deep hatred must be avenged, little Daxu, lead the way.”
