Chapter 348: A Big Mistake

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The area of the Shadow Tower was much larger than they had imagined.

In front of them, the attic courtyards were arranged in a labyrinthine fashion. The farther they went, the wider the spaces between the buildings became. Further back, a mountain stood tall.

The mountain was cloaked in a dark green hue, surrounded by lingering clouds and mist.

As they reached the foot of the mountain, Hall Master Lin let out a whistle, and in an instant, a cry echoed from above.

Gu Qingluan looked up and saw a large eagle soaring towards them.

The eagle had a massive body, and as it approached, it seemed to biot out the sun, causing a gusty wind.

It landed in front of the two of them, emitting a rumbling sound from its throat.

Hall Master Lin was the first to hop onto the eagle’s back, signaling for Gu Qingluan to follow.

She calmly descended onto the eagle’s back beside him.

The giant eagle flapped its wings and took to the sky.

Its speed was astonishing, and the wind howled as they soared through the air.

Throughout the journey, Hall Master Lin attempted to build a rapport with Gu Qingluan, engaging in conversation.

Honestly, if Gu Qingluan hadn’t started off with a negative impression of him, she wouldn’t have minded him at all.

But maybe he thought she was close to Fourth Master Tang, which is why he kept trying to get on her good side. Despite his efforts, she stayed cautious, suspecting that he had hidden intentions.

Hall Master Lin may have thought she and Fourth Master Tang were close, but no matter what he said, Gu Qingluan felt he had hidden intentions, which led her to remain cautious in her responses.

Before long, the giant eagle landed on a platform halfway up the mountain.

As soon as they touched down, the eagle took off.

They followed a stone-paved path forward.

Ahead, a group of people came into view, with Su Haisheng and Su Ziyin from the Cang Hai Palace leading the way.

The other party also noticed Gu Qingluan and Hall Master Lin.

“Teacher Jun!” Su Ziyin’s eyes lit up, and she rushed towards them with excitement.

Su Haisheng’s face immediately darkened, and he sternly shouted, “Yin’er, come back!”

However, Su Ziyin paid no heed and ran up to Gu Qingluan, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at her. “Teacher Jun, are you here to treat Hall Master Wen?!”

Ignored by Su Ziyin, Su Haisheng was infuriated but refrained from scolding his own granddaughter. Instead, he glared menacingly at Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Ziyin. “Teacher Jun? I’m afraid you are addressing me wrongly.”

“I didn’t address you wrongly! Did you consider my previous proposal? My medical talent is really exceptional, and you have no reason not to take me as your disciple! You don’t need to worry about my grandfather; I’ve already persuaded him,” Su Ziyin said with her cheeks blushing, her bright black eyes eagerly fixed on Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan glanced at Su Haisheng.

The latter snorted.

Su Ziyin turned back to him and coquettishly said, “Grandfather, please quickly tell Teacher about your consent. You promised me, and you can’t go back on your word!”

It’s a mystery how she convinced Su Haisheng, but despite his grumpy demeanor, he grumbled, “Kid, if my granddaughter wants to be your student, consider yourself lucky. Refusing her would be a big mistake!”

Gu Qingluan found his reaction amusing.

She crossed her arms and asked with a half-smile, “I’ve only heard forced buying and selling, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone forcing others to take on a disciple. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sabotage your little granddaughter after becoming her teacher?”

Su Haisheng’s expression changed, and he sternly said, “You dare!”

“Grandfather! Teacher is just teasing you! Teacher would never mistreat me, right? I’m so cute; you surely wouldn’t bear to scold or hit me, right?” Su Ziyin turned back to Gu Qingluan and blinked her big eyes. “Right, Teacher?”

Cute and adorable beings could always melt hearts.

Even Gu Qingluan, in the face of such a young girl, couldn’t help but show a bit more leniency.

However, willingly accepting a disciple and being coerced into it were two different matters. Moreover, this Cang Hai Palace’s little princess seemed to have been pampered quite a bit, so if she was to accept her as a disciple, she would need to put her to the test.

Gu Qingluan said, “If you want to become my disciple, there are a few conditions..”
