âMaster!â Zheng En looked at the little old man, a little embarrassed. He didnât expect his master to be His Excellency Du Min. In this way, wouldnât the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters be his senior brother? Then Sun Weiâ¦?Alas! This relationship is really messy!
âMaster!â Ren Li called out excitedly when he saw his master. He hadnât seen his master for many years, but his master actually ignored him. Why was that??Boohooâ¦
âHmph! Heâs your junior brother, Masterâs new disciple,â the little old man introduced simply. In fact, he came to Blue Cloud City with two main objectives. One was to exchange herbs, and the other was to inspect the Lan familyâs fifth young lady. However, he had already completed these two objectives.
âHello, Junior Brother,â Ren Li said politely.
âUh! S-Senior Brother!â Zheng En stammered. He was still a little unaccustomed to the change in identity because it was really too sudden for him!
âMaster, let me introduce him to you. He is your grand-disciple, Sun Wei!â Ren Li pulled over the dazed Sun Wei and introduced him.
âOh!â The little old man didnât even raise his eyelids and just responded indifferently.?Hmph!?Those who dare to bully my disciple arenât qualified to be acknowledged by me.
âUnfilial disciple, quickly address him!â Ren Li patted Sun Weiâs head and urged him with some displeasure. At the same time, he couldnât help muttering in his heart,?This disciple of mine is usually quite smart. Whatâs going on today?
âThereâs no need. I canât bear it,â the little old man said coldly.
âMaster!â Ren Li was a little puzzled.?Master seems to be very displeased with my disciple! Is it because of this little girl? Junior Brother is with them, so it appears Master should also know this girl.
âMaster, although Sun Wei has a feud with them, I believe that this is definitely a misunderstanding,â Ren Li tried to smooth things over.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs that so?â The little old man raised his eyelids slightly.
âLass, itâs just a misunderstanding between you two, right?!â Ren Li gave Leng Ruoxue a meaningful look.
Leng Ruoxue pretended not to see and said without giving him face, âI donât know. You have to ask your disciple!â
Seeing that Leng Ruoxue was unwilling to cooperate, Ren Li could only scold his disciple. âSinful disciple, tell me. Is this a misunderstanding!â
âMaster, they are not qualified to participate in the exchange at all. Moreover, do you remember who this Zheng En is? Grandmaster is being deceived by him!â After regaining his scenes, Sun Wei roared with raging jealousy! Why could Zheng En have such good luck? Fifteen years ago, Zheng En was only a loser under him. But fifteen years later, this damn Zheng En actually became his Uncle-Master. How could he accept this! He was so jealous!
âUnfilial disciple, do you know what youâre saying?â Ren Li roared with some displeasure and stole a timid glance at his master, only to find that his masterâs expression was very ugly. His heart skipped a beat and turned half cold!
âMaster, he is Zheng En. Zheng En! Donât you remember that you expelled Zheng En from the Alchemist Association Headquarters fifteen years ago?â Sun Wei reminded.
âUh!â With Sun Weiâs reminder, he really remembered that he had expelled an alchemist from the headquarters fifteen years ago.?But is that person really the same person as my junior brother in front of me? Is Master being deceived?
âMaster, heâ¦â Ren Li looked at the little old man, not knowing what to say.
âI know who he is. In addition, I have to tell you that he is now my disciple, your junior brother!â the little old man said very seriously.
âYes, Master.â Since his master said so, he naturally couldnât say anything as his disciple! Moreover, his master had always been stubborn. There was no way he could change his mind!
âGrandmaster, you canât accept this person as your disciple. Heâs not worthy at all. Heâs a sinner of our alchemy world!â Sun Wei was so jealous that he was about to go crazy. He didnât give up and persuaded him with a face full of respect.
âSun Wei, right?! Do I need your permission to accept a disciple? Moreover, I donât acknowledge that you are my grand-disciple, so donât act so friendly!â the little old man said disdainfully.?Hmph!?I met Sun Wei yesterday, so why didnât he treat me respectfully then? He changed his attitude after knowing my identity today!
âGrandmaster!â Sun Wei was a little dumbfounded.?Why is he protecting Zheng En even though he knows his identity?
âI said donât call me Grandmaster.â The little old man didnât intend to acknowledge Sun Weiâs identity at all.
âGrandmaster, Iâm doing this for your own good! If outsiders know about what happened regarding Zheng En back then, it will affect your reputation.â Sun Wei still acted the same as before, calling out shamelessly and even having an expression that said âIâm doing this for Grandmasterâs goodâ!
âI believe the truth of what happened back then will come to light one day. But what I want to tell you is that Zheng En is my disciple. If any of you dare to look down on him, then donât stay in the Alchemist Association,â the little old man shouted at everyone present with a glare. He didnât care if these people knew what had happened back then, but whether they did or not, he wouldnât allow these people to look at his disciple with different eyes!
After this, everyone present hurriedly nodded. Alas! No one dared to disobey him! He was a god-like figure in the hearts of all alchemists!
âMaster!â Zheng En was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes, and he was so excited that he could barely speak!
âSilly boy, how can I be at ease if youâre so easily bullied!â the little old man said helplessly.
Zheng En lowered his head and said guiltily, âMaster, Iâm too useless.â
âYou are very useless, but you are lucky.â The little old man gently patted Zheng Enâs head and scolded him with a smile.
âYes.â Zheng En nodded.
âYour Excellency Du Min, Iâve heard a lot about you!â the Lan familyâs first elder said when he saw that the matter was almost resolved.
The little old man narrowed his eyes and questioned with some displeasure, âLan family brat, are you here to chase my disciple and the others out?â
âOf course not. Iâm just here to understand the situation,â the first elder said tactfully. In this situation, how foolish would he be if he still had to consider which side to stand on!
