Chapter 4

Ye Ziheng stepped forward and asked, "My child, where are your parents?"

The child looked at him expressionlessly, as if thinking and examining.

Ye Zijin frowned, why doesn't this look like the eyes a child should have?
Without waiting for Ye Zijin to search carefully, the child lowered his eyes, staring at his toes expressionlessly.

Ye Ziheng and Ye Zijin looked at each other, and were about to ask again, but their eyes accidentally noticed the child's feet.

Ye Ziheng's face changed suddenly, and he said loudly to Ye Zijin, "Junior Sister, what do you think this is?"

Ye Zijin followed Ye Ziheng's line of sight, and saw two burnt "trunks" at the child's feet.

No, it’s not a tree trunk, but two burnt corpses!

Ye Ziheng frowned, looked at the child with complicated eyes, and asked softly, "Are they your parents?"

The child's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked down at the corpse at his feet, and nodded expressionlessly.

It turned out that the child stood here for a long time and did not leave because he was guarding his parents.

However, he also seemed a little too calm.

Ye Zijin thought about it, children around five years old might be stunned by such an accident.

Ye Ziheng gently stroked the top of the child's hair, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The child raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in front of him, and seemed to realize that the two were not malicious to him, so he said slowly, "My name is Chu Yanzhi."

His voice has the peculiar childish tone of a child, which makes people's hearts soften when they hear it.

Ye Zijin smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that she was really overthinking just now.

Except for Chu Yanzhi, they found no other living people in the city.Therefore, only one of Chu Yan can be taken away.

"I checked his roots just now, and he is a rare and good seedling. Why don't we bring him back to the Tianjue Sect together, and let his junior sister teach him, I don't know what the junior sister thinks?"

"Shall I teach him?" Ye Zijin's starry eyes widened.

"You have the highest aptitude in the sect, and you have no other disciples under your seat. It is most suitable for you to teach him. Alright, it's settled!"

Fearing that Ye Zijin would refuse, Ye Ziheng patted Chu Yanzhi's head lightly, and gave him a look, "A Yan, hurry up and kowtow to your master."

Chu Yan is small, but his mind is very bright. I saw him stepping up his short legs, stepped forward and respectfully kowtowed to Ye Zijin, "A Yan pays homage to Master!"

The little man has just come out of the shower, washed the dust off his body, and put on clean clothes. The whole person is completely reborn. His skin is pink and white, his little head is round, and his eyes are sparkling. A small glutinous rice ball carved with jade.

Facing such a well-behaved little person, it was difficult for Ye Zijin to say no to him.

So, Ye Zijin accepted an apprentice in such a muddle-headed way.

Until leaving the inn and taking the carriage, Ye Zijin felt a little unreal.

She looked down at the little glutinous rice balls beside her, and saw that he was sitting beside her with his hands folded on his knees, with a straight body, like a primary school student listening carefully in class.

Ye Zijin was amused by Chu Yanzhi, "Little Tangyuan, riding in a carriage is not a military posture, so you don't need to be so serious. Are you not tired if you keep tense like this?"

The little man blinked his round eyes, then shook his head vigorously, "I'm not tired."

She looks so cute, but her temperament is as serious as that of a little old man. This contrast is so cute that it almost makes Ye Zijin cute.
