Chapter 289: Chapter 46: Master Binglan sure knows how to have fun_2

While speaking, she hurriedly paid respects to Master Binglan who was stunned, and said, “Master, this brat is my great-nephew, who has been stubborn since childhood. If he has offended you this time, please forgive him. Shouzhe, don’t you hurry and apologize to Master?”

She spoke as if Master Binglan was full of disbelief and Fang Youan was indeed surprised.

Was this formidable kid really a descendant of Junior Sister Longyan’s family?

After hearing his ancestor’s reprimand, Wang Shouzhe quickly adjusted himself and sincerely apologized to Master Binglan: “I apologize for any offenses I may have caused earlier, I hope you can forgive me.”

Master Binglan’s eyebrows twitched twice.

She would like to hold a grudge against this brat, but could she really do that even knowing that he was the descendant of Longyan?

Hopelessly, she narrowed her eyes slightly: “This longevity fruit is for Longyan?”

“Yes.” Wang Shouzhe answered honestly, “That’s why I could not sell the Longevity Fruit to you, Master.”

“That’s good,” Fang Youan said with a small smile, “Both Master and Shouzhe want to give it to Sister Longyan, isn’t that wonderful?”

“Who said it was wonderful?” Master Binglan gave him a cold glance. “If I give it to Longyan, it’s from me, if he gives it to Longyan, it’s from him. Don’t mix everything into one.”

“Well … Master is right.” With a cold sweat, Fang Youan stopped talking.

Having accompanied Master for many years, he was familiar with her temper.

At this time, she must be feeling angry. Unable to vent at Wang Shouzhe due to respect for his cultivation and generation level, wouldn’t it be reasonable to vent her anger by hitting him?

“Here are one thousand Spirit Stones, as the premium for your Longevity Fruit.” Master Binglan threw out a large bag of Spirit Stones and spoke coldly, “The Longevity Fruit is more useful for those below the Heavenly Human Realm, so its total value is much lower than a Rank Six Dan Medicine like the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

“Ah… Master, aren’t we being a little too formal?” Wang Shouzhe responded with a bitter smile, “I also planned it for my ancestor’s use, isn’t it the same? Why should you waste your money?”

“This sacred fruit is a gift that I have prepared for my disciple’s return, and it is an urgent need for her.” Master Binglan said calmly and convincingly, “If I give it to you, what will I give? Take the spirit stones and give me the object.”

Ah, Master, what you say makes so much sense. You’re so forceful!

Wang Shouzhe looked helpless, and under her intimidating eyes, he offered the Longevity Fruit.

After receiving the Longevity Fruit, Master Binglan handed the sacred fruit to the Old Ancestor Longyan and said, “Longyan, back then I couldn’t help as much as I wanted to because of the rules of the Academic Palace. Let this token be a representation of my guilt.”

“Master, absolutely not!” Old Ancestor Longyan hurriedly said, “Back then, it was all my fault, my stubbornness. Moreover, if it wasn’t for the letter you sent back then, the Wang Family would have been annihilated.”

Master Binglan, who is not good at persuading words, cast a cold glance at Fang Youan.

Fang Youan quickly understood and persuaded, “Sister Longyan, Master has been thinking about you all these years. You also know about the strict agreements between our Purple Abode College and the Da Qian Imperial Household, so we can’t really help you.”

“And you understand Master’s personality, if you don’t accept it, Master may not be able to get over it.”

Hearing this, Old Ancestor Longyan had to kneel and pay her respects, “Master, thank you for your grace.”

After gracefully receiving the Longevity Fruit, she was quite excited and happy. Not because of the fruit, but due to the utmost good care of her Master.

Thus, a trace of gloom in Master Binglan’s eyes finally disappeared.

Master and disciple were both very happy.

Wang Shouzhe watched so intently that the corners of his mouth twitched incessantly.

This Master Binglan has really twisted logic, they are all for Old Ancestor Longyan, but after this round, he gains an extra one thousand Spirit Stones!

Since she liked it so much, Wang Shouzhe would not be polite and put the Spirit Stone in his storage ring.

At this time.

Master Binglan reluctantly sighed: “It’s a pity, Longyan, you want to guard your family, and due to the Academic Palace rules, I can’t give you the title of Named Direct Disciple.”

And Old Ancestor Longyan also said: “Thank you, Master, for taking me back in. It’s a great joy. From now on, I’ll be an informal student, but of course, still a disciple of yours.”

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe interjected and suggested: “Ancestor, you can ask Master Binglan to accept you as a Named Direct Disciple.”

Named Direct Disciple?

People such as Master Binglan paused, wondering about this peculiar type of disciple.

“In fact, I have an obligation to guard my family and so I cannot stay long term in the Academic Palace. However, Master insisted on taking me as a disciple, at least nominally. Therefore, after this battle, I will be made his Named Direct Disciple,” Wang Shouzhe explained. “We won’t need the resources of the Academic Palace for cultivation, but our Master can give us some assistance. Hence, there is no need for us to stay and safeguard the Academic Palace.”

“If the Academic Palace ever needs help in the future, we can lend a hand. It’s effectively an advanced version of the foreign students.”

Listening to this made Master Binglan’s brows furrow!

An advanced version of foreign students?

This master-disciple pair really knows how to play their cards.

However, this Named Direct Disciple idea seems much better compared to foreign students. Plus, it will bring people closer together.

This compromise made Master Binglan quite cheerful, consequently giving her consent.

After sorting out this issue, Master Binglan was in high spirits.

She looked at Wang Shouzhe, her voice cold,”For Longyan’s sake, I’ve begrudgingly forgiven you. But the Mysterious Ice Palace will not, I will have Ji Mingyu work hard on her cultivation and take revenge in the future.”

Wang Shouzhe didn’t mind.

Ji Mingyu wasn’t his match now, and even after ten or eight years, the gap between them would only grow larger.

Just then, Ji Mingyu, who had just been treated, came to apologize.

When she arrived at the doorstep and heard her Master’s bold declaration, her recently-recovered flush face turned pale – her Master wanted her to seek revenge? But the Bloodthirsty Vines were just too terrifying!

Ji Mingyu, who had nearly been reduced to a dried corpse, really didn’t want to fight Wang Shouzhe anymore.

“Get lost, lad.” After her threats, Master Binglan impatiently shooed Wang Shouzhe away. “Go as far away as possible, don’t let me see you again.” She feared that she might not be able to control her temper and would give the brat a good beating.

“In that case, Shouzhe will take his leave, Master.” Wang Shouzhe was used to her fiery disposition, and calmly saluted her before leaving the Mysterious Ice Palace.

Master Changchun, noticing this, tried to quietly follow him out.

However, he heard Master Binglan call, “Where is Senior Brother Changchun going? You rarely come here. At least have a cup of tea before you leave.”

“Senior Brother? Sister Binglan, you are finally willing to call me ‘Senior Brother’ again!” Master Changchun shivered with excitement. “After so many years, you’ve finally forgiven me.”

Wang Shouzhe, who had just reached the door, gasped.

He thought to himself, it seems there is still some unresolved tension between Master Changchun and Master Binglan.

“Forgive you? Ha!” Master Binglan sneered, “You wish! I will never forgive you in my life. But since my senior brother rarely visits my Mysterious Ice Palace, I, as a junior sister, should ensure you are properly received. Come, follow me inside.”

Inside? Wang Shouzhe was stunned. These masters were moving fast.

“Inside?”

However, Master Changchun, upon hearing this, was anything but exhilarated. Instead, he shivered, waved his head furiously, and responded, “No, no, I have some important matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”

“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, but then we should discuss the unforgivable thing you did to me in front of the Instructing Dao Palace in Changchun Valley.”

Such explosive news?

Wang Shouzhe’s ears were perked up.

Just when he was about to listen further, he was grabbed by Old Ancestor Longyan and dragged out of the Mysterious Ice Palace.
