Chapter 2: First disciple!
Chapter 2: First disciple!
"Uh!" Ming Zhin clutched his head in pain and hearing his yell, the others also snapped out of their shock.
*tap* At this time, suddenly one of the province ministers rushed out from there, leaving the others confused. Eh?
Meanwhile, Ming Yuelin found herself captivated by the alluring man, unable to tear her gaze away.
Try as she might, she couldn\'t look away from his mesmerizing presence, feeling drawn to him in a way that she couldn\'t quite explain.
Feeling her stare, Zhang Yuan gently turned his eyes to her. *gasp* Ming Yuelin gasped in surprise and averted her gaze, her heartbeat again rising above the charts.
Seeing her adorable blushing face, Zhang Yuan chuckled in his heart \'She is cute.\'
Bearing the pain, Ming Zhin looked at the old man "Father, your illness..."
Huh? The old man\'s heart boiled in anger "What illness? I can still live for another hundred years, how dare you disrespect me, you failed as a son."
The ministers facepalmed themselves, seeing the Father and Son familiar banter as this is not new to them.
Another minister approached Zhang Yuan, offering a deep bow filled with gratitude "Thank you, Master Yuan, for treating Our Highness."
Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod and Ming Zhin turned his head to the other minister "Go and bring 10000 gold coins and 1000 platinum coins for Master Yuan."
"As you say, Your Highness." The minister rushed out of the room to bring the prize.
However, at this time, the minister who left the room first came with another young man beside him.
*thud* Both of them quickly fell on their knees in front of Zhang Yuan and the man spoke in a respectable tone "Master Yuan, here, this is my son."
"I have been trying to find a suitable Master for him but it is fate that brought you to us. Please, accept him as your disciple."
Hm? Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to the young man kneeling on the floor and instantly knew he was worthless.
He shook his head gently "No, I can\'t accept him as my disciple."
Huh? The minister was dumbfounded and raised his head "Master Yuan... may I know the reason? My son is the most talented young man in this Ming province."
"So I am sure, under your care, he will be an exceptional cultivator."
Ming Zhin\'s eyebrows twitched in anger, seeing his minister getting ahead of him.
In a stern voice, he spoke "Master Yuan has already declined your request so move, you cunning minister.." he kicked the minister and son out of the way as they rolled on the floor.
*thud* He humbly lowered his head in front of Zhang Yuan "I hope Master Yuan will accept my daughter as a disciple."
Eh? Ming Yuelin was startled to hear this, Father?
Ming Yuelin\'s mother, who was beside her, pulled Ming Yuelin\'s hand and brought her in front of Zhang Yuan, as she also knew it was the perfect opportunity and she shouldn\'t let it slip.
She kneeled first and also made Ming Yuelin kneel on the floor "Please Master Yuan."
Zhang Yuan glimpsed at the beautiful young woman \'This is her second life and she also has a great physique. On top of that, she is a woman.\'
Zhang Yuan nodded his head, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Happiness flooded Ming Zhin\'s heart and he hit his head on the floor three times. "Thankyou Master Yuan."
Huh? He accepted me just like that? Ming Yuelin looked at Zhang Yuan in shock.
The mother also smiled warmly "Thank you for your Grace. Yuelin, what are you doing? greet your Master."
"Ah!" Ming Yuelin cupped her hands and bowed her head "Disciple Ming Yuelin greets the master."
Zhang Yuan spoke in a soft tone, "I won\'t always stay in this province."
Ming Yuelin nodded her head without hesitation. "The disciple understands. I will travel with Master."
Ming Zhin and her mother felt a sense of reluctance and uncertainty, but they know that they would never be able to find another master as skilled and knowledgeable as Zhang Yuan.
Who could treat an illness that had gripped that old man for years with a gesture of his hand?
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and three of them stood up from the ground.
As Ming Zhin turned his eyes, he saw his father sleeping on the bed "Father?"
Zhang Yuan spoke glimpsing at the old man "He is just resting, give him these pills when he wakes up. It will increase his vitality and body strength."
Zhang Yuan gently waved his hand and a pill bottle materialized out of thin air.
The people\'s jaws gaped upon seeing Zhang Yuan take a pill bottle out of nowhere. He did not use any spatial artifacts... then how?
Seeing the pill bottle floating near him, Ming Zhin accepted it with trembling hands "Thank you, Master Yuan."
Now they believe that they are incredibly lucky that Zhang Yuan decided to take their daughter under his wing and mentor her.
Ming Yuelin also looked at him in astonishment. How is he doing this?
Shaking her head in bewilderment, she spoke with a slight bow "If Master allows, I will prepare my things for the travel."
Zhang Yuan gave a nod and Ming Yuelin left the room to pack her belongings.
Ming Zhin hurriedly took a large chair from the side "Master Yuan, please be seated."
Zhang Yuan sat on the chair and Ming Zhin eyed at his wife. The woman nodded her head and came beside Zhang Yuan "Master Yuan, would you like something to drink?"
...
Some time later, Ming Yuelin entered the room with a large bundle of clothing and various other items in tow. "Master, I am ready."
Zhang Yuan stood up from his seat and came beside her.
Ming Yuelin felt a wave of nervousness wash over her as he slowly approached her, causing her to cast her eyes downward and a subtle flush of color to spread across her cheeks.
Coming close to her, Zhang Yuan extended his hand and Ming Yuelin glimpsed at the shimmering golden ring resting in his open palm.
"This will be my first present for my new disciple, a spatial ring."
S-Spatial ring? The Ministers and Ming Zhin were stunned to hear this. He is giving it for free?
Tears cascaded down the woman\'s cheeks "I am glad, my daughter is in great hands."
With a hesitant heart, Ming Yuelin stretched her hand to take the ring from his palm.
*gik* Her body stiffened as she felt the touch of his skin on her fingertips and the blush on her face grew deeper.
She quickly took the ring and bowed "T-This disciple will accept Master\'s grace."
Zhang Yuan gave a solemn nod "Bid farewell to your parents and friends and come soon. I will be waiting outside."
"Yes, master."
...
As Zhang Yuan stood outside the courtyard, he caught sight of the stunning young woman walking to him. He couldn\'t help but admire her beauty as she gracefully made her way towards him.
"Master, I am ready to leave." A sense of determination and anticipation filled her heart, knowing that she was about to embark on a new adventure that would forever change the course of her life.
Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod and as Ming Yuelin blinked her eyes, she was startled.
H-Huh? What happened? She looked around at the lush green fields now she is in and as she turned around, she couldn\'t find her home anywhere.
However there is simple large wooden house in front of her, in the middle of the lush greenery.
Zhang Yuan\'s voice reached her ears. "This is my place. It is already evening and we can talk later. Now I have an important thing to do."
Ming Yuelin turned her head to Zhang Yuan who was walking towards the edge of teh cliff and she quickly understood they were in top of some mountains.
Not refuting his order, she walked to the wooden house to meet his other disciples.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan reached the edge of the cliff and chuckled "Dear, stop playing... "
"Heh, I can\'t escape from my Husband\'s eyes after all."
In the next instant, the purple haired woman appeared in front of him and she extended her hand, caressing his soft cheeks.
"Husband." She muttered in an affectionate tone as she moved closer, their noses brushing slightly before their lips met in a sweet, lingering kiss.
