Chapter 320 The Hardship of Tutoring Homework
Qu Le held up five fingers and said, "I'm willing to pay five thousand taels!"

Pan Yun's face was full of smiles, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, my second senior brother is still in need of a disciple. I see that you have good aptitude, so I will accept a disciple on behalf of your master."

Miao Zhen at the side said: "... Junior Master, should I ask Master about this?"

In the entire Sanqing Mountain, she is the master with the most disciples.

Qu Le also shook his head, "I want to take Master Xuanmiao as my master."

The smile on Pan Yun's face fell, and she said expressionlessly: "Wake up, my senior sister doesn't accept disciples."

Qu Le said: "If you can get Master Xuanmiao to accept me as his disciple, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels."

Pan Yun sneered, "Ten thousand taels of gold?"

Qu Le was stunned, and after a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I must have 10,000 taels of gold, then it's 10,000 taels of gold, as long as I can worship Master Xuanmiao as my master."

Pan Yun: …

She looked Qu Le up and down, stretched out her hand and said, "First, give me fifty taels for helping you catch the criminal."

Qu Le was startled and said, "I haven't caught the person yet."

Pan Yun: “Prepaid.”

"No, that won't work. I haven't found any information yet. I'm not sure if I can find the person. How can I pay in advance?"

Pan Yun: "To be a member of Sanqing Mountain, the most important thing is self-confidence. You don't even have the confidence to catch a criminal, so how can you join Sanqing Mountain and dream of becoming my disciple?"

Pan Yun narrowed his eyes, "You can't even take out fifty taels of silver, right?"

Qu Le: ...

"You can't even take out 50 taels of gold, and you want to pay 10,000 taels of gold? Are you dreaming?!"

Qu Le was hit several times by Pan Yun. He couldn't fight back or dodge, so he could only hold his head and shout loudly: "I don't have any money on me, but my family has!"

Pan Yun: "Didn't you run away from home?"

"I ran away from home, but I am the only son of my parents, and I am the only grandson of my grandfather. All the money in my family is mine. When I go back, my grandfather will definitely give me money."

Pan Yun became curious, "Is your family so rich?"

Qu Le said proudly: "Of course, my father was able to marry my mother because my family is rich."

This sounds a bit wrong, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

"How about this, since you are so sincere, how about I let you be the third disciple of my second senior brother?"

Miao Zhen: "... Junior Master!"

Qu Le: "No, I only take Master Xuanmiao as my master!"

Pan Jun couldn't help but sigh and waved his hand, saying, "Then there's no room for negotiation."

She could put someone under the name of Second Senior Brother, but she didn't dare to put someone under Xuan Miao's name.

Pan Jun called Miao Zhen, "Let's go!"

Miaozhen quickly responded, picked up Pan Xiaohei and followed Pan Jun.

Qu Le gritted his teeth and ran after him, following behind Pan Yun and saying, "Can't you say a few good words for me and Master Xuanmiao?"

Pan Yun ignored him.

"If you can get Master Xuanmiao to agree to accept me as his disciple, in addition to the ten thousand taels of gold, I am willing to give you a thousand taels as a gift."

Pan Jun quickened his pace, fearing that he would fall in love the next second and then commit suicide.

Qu Le followed with big strides and raised the price: "Two thousand taels."

Pan Jun is about to fly.

Qu Le trotted after him and shouted, "Five thousand taels!"

Pan Jun stopped and looked back at him. "Well, draw a few lines with me and see how they go."

Pan Yun looked around, found a place to squat down in the leeward direction, took out cinnabar and yellow paper, stuffed a pen into his hand and said, "Look carefully, and draw as much as you see."

After saying that, he moved his fingers in the air. Wherever he moved his fingers, white spiritual energy floated, forming a rune that swayed in the air, just like lines dancing.

Qu Le was stunned, holding the pen in a daze, and muttered: "This is it, this is it... This is cultivation, I, I want to become an immortal."

Pan Jun looked at him silently, Miao Zhen also looked disgusted, and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Junior, I don't want him to be my junior apprentice, let alone my senior apprentice brother."

Pan Yun was very tempted by the money and whispered to comfort her, "Let's wait and see."

Then, Qu Le hesitated for a long time, and then he drew a horizontal and a vertical stroke on the yellow talisman and stopped.

Pan Jun looked at him expectantly with her watery eyes, but when she saw him stop, the light in her eyes went out.

She covered her chest and said, "This is even more painful than when I thought I didn't have the talent for cultivation. I didn't feel this painful when I practiced for a long time but didn't improve my cultivation. How could your talent be so poor?"

Qu Le was unhappy and said, "I want to practice, not be a Taoist priest who draws talismans. Your talisman twists and turns like a bug. Who can draw it in one glance?"

Miao Zhen said: "I can."

Qu Le looked unconvinced.

Miao Zhen: "When my fourth uncle was young, he was tested for his talent and he was able to draw it in one glance."

Pan Jun raised his hand and said, "I drew it in one glance, too."

Qu Le: "... Me, my master is certainly powerful, you guys are also a little powerful, but I'm not bad either, I have excellent bones, before I even reached 20 I've already defeated everyone in the Wulin Alliance." Pan Yun: "You Wulin Alliance people are really weak."

"By the way, you are invincible in the Wulin Alliance, so is Alliance Leader Lin a winner or a loser against you?"

Qu Le's face smacked and he remained silent for a long while.

Pan Yun drew the talisman again, and this time he made it stay longer. Qu Le still only drew two strokes. The magical thing was that the two strokes this time were different from the previous one.

The most important thing is that no matter whether it was this time or the last time, the spiritual energy surrounding them did not move at all, just like Qu Le’s invisible cinnabar pen.

Pan Yun: ...Sometimes I just want to give up, thinking that the world is just like this, why do I have to have this money?
Money is so hard to earn!
Thinking of the mountain temple, the poor believers and the master who were starving, Pan Jun forced a smile and said, "It's okay, let's go stargazing instead."

The next moment, Pan Yun took Qu Le and Miao Zhen to the roof.

Although Guangxin Prefecture is a provincial capital, it also has a curfew. Late at night, except for a few scattered lights, the entire city is shrouded in dim moonlight.

So except for the circle around the moon where there are fewer stars, the rest of the sky is full of stars.

Pan Yun pointed to a star and said, "Here, let's take the simplest one. These seven stars connected together form the Big Dipper. I ask you, where is the handle of the dipper pointing now?"

Qu Le tried hard to raise his head, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Which seven are they?"

Pan Yun: "...You are so old, but you don't even know the Big Dipper?"

Qu Le frowned, "Who said that when you grow up you have to know the Big Dipper?"

Pan Yun: "...That's right, I'll teach you now."

Pan Yun tried to smile and pointed out the stars one by one. "See? These seven stars put together look like a spoon. They are located in the north sky, so they are called the Big Dipper."

Pan Jun turned his head to look at Qu Le, and seeing that he had a confused look on his face, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "You..." Could it be that you still don't recognize him?
Before he could finish his words, Qu Le had already asked, "This field of stars is so densely packed that it looks like there are more than a hundred of them. If you point your finger upwards, there will be a field of stars. How can I recognize which one it is? Not to mention connecting them all together."

Pan Yun: "...the seven brightest ones!"

Qu Le: “I think they are all quite bright.”

Pan Yun looked at him silently.

Qu Le finally gave in and could only continue to recognize it. After Pan Jun's half a day of hard work, he finally connected the seven stars.

Miao Zhen on the side snorted coldly, and sat on the roof holding Pan Xiaohei to watch the fun.

Pan Jun didn't say anything, but Qu Le couldn't help but turn around and glare at her.

Pan Yun: "...Why are you glaring at her? Let me ask you, what is that star called?"

Qu Le looked up along the direction of her finger and said, "Yu Heng!"

Miaozhen burst out laughing.

Pan Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and slapped him on the head, angrily saying: "Yaoguang, Yaoguang, that's the Yaoguang star!"

Pan Jun looked at the sky which was about to turn white, and the stars in the sky gradually disappeared. The starry sky became sparse, and only the Big Dipper was still hanging firmly in the sky.

Pan Yun suspected that it was because daybreak was approaching and the small stars surrounding the Big Dipper disappeared, making the Big Dipper more conspicuous, which allowed Qu Le to connect the dots.

Pan Yun: "Let's not talk about who these seven stars are. I want to ask you, in this season, which direction does the handle of the dipper point to?"

Qu Le's mind was like paste. He clearly remembered what Pan Jun taught him just now, but now he couldn't remember anything. He could only guess randomly: "Dong?"

Pan Jun had no expression on his face, so Qu Le shouted, "I know, it's Nan!"

Miaozhen finally couldn't help it. She was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that tears were about to come out, and she almost pinched Pan Xiaohei by accident.

Pan Xiaohei was much more direct. He just opened his mouth and laughed silently, letting Qu Le and Pan Jun see it, as a way of mocking them.

Pan Yun suffered a heart attack.

Qu Le was worried and said anxiously, "That's west, it can't be north, right?"

Pan Yun: "Why can't it be North?"

"Didn't you just say, 'Handle west, handle south, handle east' or something like that?"

Pan Jun: "This is the formula I asked you to memorize. It consists of four and a half sentences. How about the dipper handle to the west? How about the dipper handle to the south? I have repeated it several times. Haven't you memorized it yet?"

"The handle of the dipper points to the southwest and east, so how could there be no handle to the north?" Pan Yun was very disappointed. "The handle of the dipper points to the north, and the whole world is winter! It's winter now, winter, isn't it pointing to the north?"

Qu Le nodded, "You are right."

"To your head," Pan Yun stood up and called Miao Zhen, "Let's go!"

Qu Le hurriedly followed, "Wait for me, I..."

"Shut up, stop," Pan Yun yelled, "If you keep following me, it won't be you and I catching the murderer, but I will become the murderer!"

Pan Yun spent half the night with a vicissitude of life. She shook her head in disbelief and said, "It's hard to imagine. I never suffered the pain of tutoring in my previous life, but I have to suffer it at a young age in this life."

Pan Yun yelled to Pan Xiaohei in her heart: [Even my second brother doesn’t make me so powerless! ]

"You are not suitable to come to Sanqing Mountain, really!" Pan Yun said, "You can give the 10,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver to whoever you want. I won't make any money from you!"

After saying that, Pan Yun turned and left.

Qu Le wanted to chase him, but Miao Zhen stepped in front of him, looked back at him, and said coldly: "Don't follow us anymore. We in Sanqing Mountain will not accept you. Don't even think about becoming my junior brother..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Huo!"

　good night
