987 Taking in a Disciple for the First Time
The entire mountain forest was in a mess. The smell of blood filled the air. Blood flowed like a river, and bodies piled up like mountains. It looked as if two armies had collided.
However, only the people present knew that there was no such thing as a collision between the two armies. Although they had contributed, in reality, it was Chu Yunfan who had single-handedly turned the tide. He had blocked this terrifying monster swarm with his own strength.
The way the guards looked at Chu Yunfan now was completely different from before. Before this, in their eyes, Chu Yunfan was just a sick man, and only the eldest miss believed that this Chu Yunfan had strength.
Chu Yunfan didn’t even try to defend himself, so they were even more certain that he was just trying to make things difficult for them.
But now, in their eyes, Chu Yunfan had completely changed. He was shrouded in a mysterious veil.
A top-tier master!
He might even be more powerful than the most powerful person on their team, Uncle Lin. At the very least, Uncle Lin couldn’t do what Chu Yunfan had done.
Although they were all Innates, there was still a huge gap between each Innate. Chu Yunfan could easily kill them all with a few casual moves.
As for being even more powerful, they did not even dare to imagine it.
Divines were extremely powerful in the Holy Land because Chu Yunfan was extremely young. It wasn’t because of his strong cultivation that he could remain young.
He was extremely young.
The junior city lord, Lin Haoren, who was around Chu Yunfan’s age, was at the seventh Innate Stage. This level of cultivation was already very amazing, but compared to Chu Yunfan, it was nothing.
In their eyes, the peak of the Innate Stage was already unimaginably powerful. It was the peak that most ordinary people could reach.
Chu Yunfan walked straight to the center of the group, and the way everyone looked at him had completely changed.
“Many thanks for your saving grace, Brother Chu!” Lin Haoren stepped forward and said as he bowed deeply.
Chu Yunfan didn’t stop him but just looked at Lin Haoren in surprise. Lin Haoren didn’t like him at all before, and he always spoke coldly to him.
But now, Lin Haoren was willing to bow to him and was able to stretch and shrink at will. It was indeed a little interesting.
“Brother Chu, you’re so powerful!” Lin Chenxi said excitedly. Although she was the young miss of Tianhe, she was only a teenage girl.
“Will you accept me as your disciple?” Lin Chenxi asked expectantly as she looked at Chu Yunfan with her big eyes.
“Miss Lin, you come from a prestigious family. I believe that the city lord of Tianhe has arranged a master for you, right?” Chu Yunfan said, shaking his head. “You should think about that first.”
Chu Yunfan wanted to refuse because he had not yet made up his mind to someone’s master. Although in terms of cultivation, there were not many people in the world who were stronger than him, in terms of age, he was only in his twenties.
If it was an ordinary person, they might still be at the age of learning.
However, he thought of something, so he didn’t refuse.
“You’re right.” Lin Chenxi’s petite face was serious as she spoke. After pondering for a moment, she said, “I’ve thought it through. You can be my master.”
Chu Yunfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Chenxi’s thinking was unpredictable.
“Mister Chu, our miss originally had a master, but now that the Fluttering Blooms has been destroyed, you need not worry about that. I think that even the city lord would not object to the miss having you as her master,” Uncle Lin said.
Uncle Lin was thinking even further. The current situation in Tianhe was not ideal. If he could recruit a great expert like Chu Yunfan, it would be no different from Tianhe having another strong ally.
Moreover, he always had a feeling that the peak stage of the Innate Stage might not be the limit of Chu Yunfan’s strength. Even if Chu Yunfan was only at the peak stage of the Innate Stage, judging from his age, the possibility of him entering the Divine Abilities Stage in the future was very high.
It was necessary for Tianhe to rope in a future Divine.
Chu Yunfan could immediately tell that although Lin Haoren and Lin Chenxi were the leaders of this group, Uncle Lin was the real master.
“That’s right. My father dotes on me a lot. He won’t object to it!” Lin Chenxi skipped over to Chu Yunfan’s side and hugged his arm.
Chu Yunfan’s arms sank into two soft mounds, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of a young girl.
“And Master, you said you would help me, but you won’t even agree to such a small request.”
“Fine…” Chu Yunfan muttered to himself for a moment before saying, “In that case, I’ll take you in as my disciple in name only.”
“Why only an in-name disciple?” Lin Chenxi pouted. However, she still hurriedly gave a big bow and said, “Greetings from your, disciple, Lin Chenxi, master.”
Even Lin Chenxi, who had a carefree personality, did not dare to be careless in this matter. After all, acknowledging a master and learning from a teacher were two different concepts.
A teacher was only responsible for passing on knowledge and dispelling doubts. However, if it was a master, it was a different concept.
His status was even comparable to her father’s.
“All right, since I’ve become your master, I have to give you a gift,” Chu Yunfan said.
He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a small porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. “This bottle contains ten Innate Pills that I made. They will help you in your cultivation.”
Of course, these were the Innate Pills that Chu Yunfan had concocted himself, but he didn’t use them up yet. Its efficacy was much better than the ones on the market, so he decided to use it as a greeting gift.
“That’s great! Master, you’re so good to me!”
Lin Chenxi’s smile immediately returned and she took the small porcelain bottle from Chu Yunfan.
On the other side, Uncle Lin’s eyes lit up when he saw Chu Yunfan grabbing something out of thin air. This either meant that Chu Yunfan was an expert in the Divine Abilities Stage, or he had a spatial magic treasure like an interspatial ring. No matter which one it was, it meant that Chu Yunfan was not simple.
“All right, it’s getting late. Mr. Chu, let’s hurry back to Tianhe,” Uncle Lin said quickly.
“Okay.” Chu Yunfan nodded.
“It’s a shame. These carcasses are of great value. When we get back, we’ll immediately ask Father to send people to fetch them. We’ll take as many as we can.”
Lin Haoren looked at the carcasses all over the ground.
The group quickly resumed their journey and headed in the direction of Tianhe. They finally arrived before dark.
