Shi Honggui glared at Hao Pengyou, then turned to Dugu Qianye and said, "Is that girl interested in becoming my disciple?"
"What? Old man, are you actually taking on a disciple?" Before Dugu Qianye could react, Hao Pengyou, who was standing beside her, already exclaid, "Didn’t you say I was your last disciple?"
"When did I say that? I don’t rember," Shi Honggui retorted with a huff and a fierce look, "How about it, little girl, do you want to be my disciple?"
Uh, what is this situation? Although she felt that the old man wasn’t bad, it wasn’t to the extent that she would acknowledge him as her master, right?
"This..."
Just as Dugu Qianye was about to refuse, Hao Pengyou, who was beside her, grabbed her arm and said, "Don’t refuse, the old man may be unreliable, but there are benefits to following him!"
Benefits? Dugu Qianye looked at Hao Pengyou with confusion. Could it be that this old man is so important figure?
Shi Honggui looked at Dugu Qianye with satisfaction, waiting for her to accept him as her master.
"This, I really didn’t—" have that intention. Dugu Qianye began to speak but was interrupted by Hao Pengyou.
"Girl, it’s not bad to be my, Hao Pengyou’s, junior sister. We have four brothers, but no junior sister. If you join us, we will definitely cherish you! Or are you looking down on because I’m just a butler from a local Spiritual Master Association, that my status is too low?" Hao Pengyou spoke while looking at Dugu Qianye with a wronged expression.
This, Dugu Qianye really didn’t know what to say. Shouldn’t the selecting of disciples and taking on a master be more solemn? Why did it feel like they were picking cabbages? Tsk, tsk, thinking this way, wouldn’t she be the cabbage!
But considering Shi Honggui’s age, and that he only had four disciples up to now, it seed that he wasn’t the type to randomly take on disciples. Having just arrived on the Spirit Void Continent, having soone from the Spiritual Master Association as a master should be a good thing, right?!
"I’m okay with becoming a disciple, but I must make it clear: I have so issues with the Jin Family, and my current situation with the Le Family is similar, cough, trouble seems to like a lot." Dugu Qianye said, figuring it was better to lay out her situation beforehand, to avoid any issues later. Phew, she was not so rchandise!
"Haha, that makes it more fun! I, the old man, have been idle for decades. If it weren’t for this little monkey to ease my boredom, I would have died of tedium. Stirring up trouble, huh? No problem, whatever ss you want to get into, go ahead. If you can’t settle it, I’ll clean it up for you!" Shi Honggui said, bursting into laughter. Only, the logic of his words sounded bizarre!
"Wow, you’ve only been on the Spirit Void Continent for a few days, yet you’ve already offended the Jin Family of Chichi. Your ability to attract trouble even surpasses mine back in the day!" Hao Pengyou exclaid with shock, "Co on, tell , how did you manage to offend the Jin Family?"
Sweat ford on Dugu Qianye’s brow as she truly found this pair, old and young, to be abnormal!
Nevertheless, she recounted how she had accidentally killed a mber of the Jin Family upon her recent arrival on the Spirit Void Continent, after which Hao Pengyou doubled over with laughter.
"Haha, you’re really cursed, aren’t you? To even drag a feud upon yourself in such a manner, haha, it’ll definitely be fun to follow you. Wherever you go, take with you, okay? I can be your enforcer."
Dugu Qianye gave Hao Pengyou a look. She couldn’t tell his level, but with his beanpole fra, could he really be an enforcer?
"Don’t underestimate , your senior brother, I’ve got so good qualities!"
"Cough cough," Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but cough.
Then Dugu Qianye respectfully served tea to Shi Honggui, knelt down, and kowtowed three tis. This was her first true experience of formally taking a master, and the first ti she knelt down since coming to this world!
Although Dugu Qianye had not been too eager to take a master before, she still felt the sincerity in his eyes. He ntioned his troubles before, not wanting to involve him. He had lived for so many years and was accurate in judging people—this girl was soone who treasured relationships and loyalty!
Shi Honggui drank the tea Dugu Qianye offered for taking on a disciple, took out two books, and handed them to Dugu Qianye, as well as a purple Crystal Card.
"You’ve just advanced to Divine Level, and you’re still unfamiliar with it, so this book includes an introduction to the Divine Level, its application, and so Divine Level Spiritual Techniques. Take a look, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask your senior brother or ."
Dugu Qianye glanced at the thin book, thinking to herself that she really needed to understand the Divine Level and find information on it, and here it was being provided. This master didn’t seem too bad.
"This book is about so knowledge of Transmission Arrays. Since you’re now my disciple, it’s essential for you to understand this. Of course, how deeply you’ll delve into it will depend on your talent. If it’s good, that’s great, if not, I won’t force it."
Dugu Qianye looked at the other book, "Transportation Formation thods," feeling a bit puzzled. Why would Shi Honggui give her sothing so important just like that? And wasn’t this a secret of the Spiritual Master Association? How did her master have it?
"Inside this Crystal Card, there are ten million Purple Coins. I was in a rush when I left and didn’t bring much money. You’ve just arrived here and must be in need of money, so use this for now."
Wow, ten million Purple Coins and he says it’s not much. The Spiritual Master Association must be rolling in wealth; even a master like him is so rich, who knew how wealthy it could get?!
"Master has given you a welco gift, so as your senior brother, I can’t be left out," Hao Pengyou reluctantly took out a Crystal Card, saying, "There are only five million Purple Coins here. Make do with it for now, buy whatever you see, and if it’s not enough, just charge it to the Spiritual Master Association’s account. Hmm, next ti we’ll plunder your second senior brother; he’s the wealthiest."
Dugu Qianye happily collected the cards into her Space Ring—today she had made twenty-five million in total. Hehe, money, no one ever complains about having too much of it. Plus, she got her hands on the secretive knowledge of Transmission Arrays. It seed like taking a master was quite worthwhile; soone to support her and provide money for her to spend.
"Thank you, Master, and my fourth senior brother," Dugu Qianye said with a smile. Then she took out so Spirit Fruit liquor brewed by Dudu from the Refining Demon Pot and placed it in a Space Ring, handing it to Shi Honggui, "Master, here’s so liquor made from Spirit Fruits; I hope you like it."
Dugu Qianye noticed a faint scent of liquor emanating from Shi Honggui, indicating that he, too, must be a connoisseur of fine liquors.
As expected, Shi Honggui’s interest peaked when he heard it was liquor, especially a type of fruit liquor he’d never heard of before. He quickly took out a jar from his ring, opened it, and the aroma of alcohol filled the room.
"Delicious!" Shi Honggui sniffed it once, said excitedly, and then filled a large bowl to the brim, took a sip, closed his eyes to savor it, and praised, "Excellent liquor!"
"Wow, not bad, not bad, much better than those other liquors!" Hao Pengyou very consciously took out a large bowl and poured himself a serving.
Dugu Qianye discovered that although the vessels the two n used looked like bowls, they were actually Holy Artifacts! What a couple of prodigals! Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but remark inwardly. Shi Honggui might not hold a high position, but he was definitely rich!
