That word of being called âshifuâ left her feeling very much guilty inside.
On the other hand, Nangong Zhun was stunned and started at the woman with a inexplicable look of shock like heâs ready to cry. âShifu, do you not want me anymore?â
Bai Yan smiled and shook her head: âI just feel that Iâve failed in being your shifu and doesnât deserve it. I taught you nothing so far. Whatever achievement you have today is your own effortâ¦.â
In just a few years, this boyâs strength has increased a lot, and perhaps in the future he would stand at the peak of this world.
âIt was Xiachen who saved me from the hands of that bully. I didnât have a mother, and it was you who let me have a taste of a motherâs warmth in that few days we were together. In this life, I will only look to you as my shifu and mother!â Nangong Zhun stubbornly raises his face, those eyes determined and unyielding. âI know where you are now, isnât it just the Celestial Realm? Wait ten years, after ten years, I will definitely go find you!â
Bai Yanâs smile became more and more obvious: âAlright, Iâll gladly wait for you.â
Nangong Zhun breaks into a smile at the approval: âShifu, my father ran away from home since last year and left me the Liu Huo Kingdom. Iâm not able to do it yet, but I promise that I will turn this kingdom into a nation worthy to stand beside the three great powers. I will turn it into an empire. That way you wonât lose face when I go to the Celestial Realm.â
His shifu was recognized as the most extraordinary person in these lands; therefore, how could he bring shame to Bai Yanâs prestige by bringing nothing to the table?
âItâs good to have ambitions,â Bai Yan pats the young lad on the shoulder, âsince you already assumed the position of a king, whereâs your queen?â
Nangong Zhun shakes his head: âI donât want to marry a wife so quickly. I envy you and your husband, Shifu. In the future, I also want to have only one love for one life. Until I meet a suitable woman, I wonât marry.â
A cultivatorâs life expectancy was extremely long anyways, he had plenty of time to wait.
âThatâs fine, I like and support your idea.â Bai Yan felt proud of the boyâs determination and pleasing personality. Turning to the dowager, âYour Highness, I hope that you wonât force Zhun to marry either, I want him to be happy.â
The empress dowager smiled bitterly as a response, âI donât have a problem with my grandson not marrying either, but those ministers have other ideas in mind and constantly attempts to dump their daughters on him. I was hoping you can speak with them and refuse on Zhunâs behalf Yanâer.â
Bai Yan narrowed her eyes in thought.
Why do kings and emperors have all numbers of wives? Probably not because the man himself actually liked those females, but rather itâs because of the ministers wanting to send their daughters into the royal bed chamber.
âHighness, you can tell them to come speak to me next time. I will be happy to lecture them on this subject in the Demon Realm. Since the barrier separating all three realms are gone, I know they can travel if they dared.â
The dowagerâs heart slowly eased up at the promise.
Going to the Demon Realm to find her? Those ministers wouldnât dare!
âLittle Zhun, I havenât taught you anything so Iâve always felt guilty about failing you as your mentor. This is a good opportunity so take these elixirs. They can help you greatly in your cultivation.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
