Chapter 149.2: By Hook Or By Crook
Elder Yan was just thinking of saying sothing more when the clear sound of laughter was heard from outside. “What Elder Jin said is absolutely right. Then let the Martial Arts Departnt join in the fun as well.”
A muscular and strong built figure with burly looks, the man who looked to be about forty years old ca walking in. “I heard the commotion in here and was wondering what happened. So it turns out that a young prodigy has appeared. This year’s recruitnt trials is really quite a show!”
Elder Jin’s eyes imdiately widened as he stared warily at the man, coming to move himself between the man and Qing Yu. “Why is this old fella doing here?”
“Haha. Elder Jin, you said that everyone would want to fight for a prodigy didn’t you? I am rely here to compete fair and square.”
“Don’t even think about it. The young lady is such a petite fair skinned doll and exquisitely beautiful. Letting her fall in your boorish hands will just wreck such a delicate flower. Keep your nose out of this.” Elder Jin scoffed, his beard bristling.
Hearing herself being described in such a manner, Qing Yu could not help but arc her lips up to laugh, before she said in a soft voice: “I am grateful for all the love so many teachers have shown here but..... I’m afraid that I will have to disappoint you.”
Hearing that, everyone there was taken aback.
Has she just rejected them? This was the first ti ever that a disciple has rejected a teacher’s invitation to join them. But if it was this young lady here, she really had what it took to be so arrogant.”
The man who had been blocked off by Elder Jin like he was a thief imdiately beca anxious. “Young lady, don’t listen to the nonsense that old man Elder Jin spouts. Although I might look a little boorish, I am actually very gentle at heart. You are so gifted and looks so lovable, I will not be fierce to you.....”
Panicked, he could no longer be bothered to maintain a polite front and just called Elder Jin an old man, which infuriated Elder Jin so much his eyes were staring daggers right at him.
Elder Jin then retaliated by rcilessly putting the man down. “Lass, you must not believe a word he says. He is always berating the girls in the Martial Arts Departnt into tears every other day, completely lacking the poise and deanor a teacher is supposed to possess.”
After he finished he did not forget to make himself look good. His face was earnest and sincere as he said: “It’s better that you co to our Elixir Cultivators Departnt. We are very liberal in there where disciples have a lot of freedom and we do not push for intensive cultivation practice everyday. My First Disciple, your Eldest Senior Tan Lin Ruo is also a very gentle and amiable person and is especially good looking. If you need help in any way, you can look for him anyti you want.”
Not only Elder Jin who was closest to them and the teacher from the Martial Arts Departnt, as Elder Jin’s voice had not been soft at all, none of the others there were deaf so they all heard him loud and clear.
[What! ?]
[In order to convince the young lady to join his departnt, Elder Jin was even shalessly making use of his First Disciple’s good looks? ! !]
[If Tan Lin Ruo were to know that his Master was using him like this, he would surely be heartbroken!]
