Li Shiyan could not bear to see Xie Qiao blaming herself and holding back. She was a poor child to begin with. It was already very hard for her to be in poor health. How could she bear such a trivial matter?
âThey are just two grand-disciples. Just accept them. If there is a problem, teach them well. If they are not taught well, itâs your junior brother who is useless. Punish him as well.â Li Shiyan thought for a moment and said, âIn that case, if my sect only has good children who are eager to learn, no one will be able to disgrace my sect. My name will become more and more famous, but it also makes me look hypocritical. As the saying goes, thereâs no discrimination in teaching. If any kind of child can come to my sect and become good, thatâs what I and your junior brothers are capable of.
âTheyâre all young children. Although their personalities are fixed, their character can still be changed. Itâs good to accept them.â Li Shiyan added.
âTeacher is forgiving.â Xie Qiao immediately flattered him. After saying that, Xie Qiao said mysteriously, âTeacher, do you know who I have seen recently?â
Seeing her excited face, Li Shiyan could not help but laugh. âAlive or dead?â
âDead.â Xie Qiao sat up straight.
âTo be able to make you so happy and specially come to show off in front of me, it must be a long-dead scholar, right? This personâs reputation is probably great, but I donât know if heâs from the current dynasty or the previous dynastyâ¦â Li Shiyan could not guess.
If it was a living person, there were not many famous scholars in the current dynast. He could still guess it.
However, if it was a dead person, then the range would be huge. Xie Qiao did not keep him in suspense. âRecently, Iâve seen many ghouls left in the world by the Baili family of the previous dynasty. There are many of them, and the most famous ones are also here. The most important one is an old ancestor of the Baili family, Baili Ji. Iâve talked to him a lot!â
After Xie Qiao finished speaking, Li Shiyanâs hand that was holding the teacup trembled. âWho?!â
âBaili Ji!â Xie Qiao was very satisfied with her teacherâs reaction.
Although her teacherâs talent might not be inferior to Baili Ji, the era was different. Baili Ji was an old senior. Not only that, Baili Jiâs ârepresentative workâ was one of the reasons that caused the dynasty to change!
This person was bound to be a legend.
âItâs actually that old senior!â Li Shiyan was so excited that his face was flushed with yearning. âIs he as powerful as the rumors say?â âOf course. Itâs just that Iâve been busy with other things recently and didnât chat with him about calligraphy and poetry. However, he said that he would spend some time to teach me. If itâs possible, Iâll help him select some students to give pointers to,â Xie Qiao added.
âThatâs easy. Iâm old, and I donât have enough energy, so there are only a few of you as disciples. However, over the years, Iâve seen many talented people. If their character is suitable, he can guide them. Even if he wants to accept disciples, he can accept as many as they want!â
However, all the Baili family members were dead.
They could not accept disciples in the name of the Baili family. âBut your health is lacking, Iâm afraid your energy is not as good as mine.â Li Shiyan was a little worried.
âThereâs no rush in this matter.â Xie Qiao smiled, âLetâs talk about it in the future. Perhaps Senior Baili has his own ideas about accepting a disciple? In a few days, weâll let him choose for himself.â
Although the Baili family was gone, the family must have had some good friends in the past. Even if they had nothing to do with the Baili family as time had gone by, there was still the friendship from the past. Perhaps the Baili family already had their own ideas and arrangements.
