"Master, you …"
Although Jiang Desen and the rest couldn't criticize Xue Long's actions, they still found it a little hard to accept.
With Xue Long's esteemed status, he had actually become Mo Qingyun's servant. This was too much of a blow to them.
In addition, Xue Long hadn't said a single word about Mo Qingyun killing Shui Han. This more or less caused them to feel a little disappointed.
Xue Long could ignore this, but they couldn't do the same. They couldn't treat Mo Qingyun as normal.
Soon after, the gazes that Jiang Desen and the rest looked at Mo Qingyun underwent an enormous change. A sliver of enmity faintly surged out.
Xue Long's old face immediately changed when he saw the expressions of Jiang Desen and the rest. He could see some clues.
Soon after, Xue Long no longer hesitated and immediately pleaded to Mo Qingyun, "Master, if my disciples have offended you in any way, please don't lower yourself to their level."
Sweeping his gaze over Jiang Desen and the rest, Mo Qingyun nodded at Xue Long and said, "I have no enmity with them. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't kill them for no reason. You should understand my personality. I'm not a bloodthirsty person."
The expressions of the surrounding people immediately became strange when they heard Mo Qingyun's words.
If you weren't a bloodthirsty person, then no one would be a bloodthirsty person.
Not long ago, you've already killed someone without even blinking.
"Many thanks, master!"
Xue Long's expression immediately relaxed when he heard Mo Qingyun's guarantee. His heart that had been hanging in the air immediately relaxed.
He'd been very worried that Mo Qingyun would hold a grudge against Jiang Desen and the rest because of what had just happened.
The expressions of Jiang Desen and the rest couldn't help but change when they saw Xue Long's actions.
At this moment, they felt a little less resentment towards Xue Long, and a little more understanding and gratitude.
Xue Long had chosen to submit to Mo Qingyun not only to protect his own life, but also to protect the lives of the others.
This was because once they started fighting with Mo Qingyun, they would most likely not be able to escape today.
After subduing Xue Long, it was rare for Mo Qingyun to continue staying. He stood up and said to Xue Long, "I won't be attending your birthday celebration. Prepare a small courtyard for me. When your birthday celebration is over, take me to Wang Chang's residence."
Mo Qingyun didn't like this kind of noisy occasion.
In addition, because of what had happened just now, his presence would put a lot of pressure on everyone and make the atmosphere of the birthday party oppressive.
Therefore, it was better for him to leave.
"Master is going to look for Wang Chang?"
Xue Long was shocked. He immediately guessed Mo Qingyun's intention. He was going to teach Wang Chang a lesson.
Knowing Mo Qingyun's thoughts, Xue Long didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master, please follow me. I will arrange a place for you to stay."
Seeing Xue Long's action, Mo Qingyun nodded and left with Xue Long.
Soon, under Xue Long's lead, Mo Qingyun arrived at a small courtyard.
"Master, please stay here for now. This subordinate will take his leave."
After bringing Mo Qingyun into the small courtyard, Xue Long excused himself from Mo Qingyun and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing Xue Long turn to leave, Mo Qingyun called out. He glanced at Tan Heping and said, "Xue Long, I heard that you're going to recruit a last disciple at your birthday celebration?"
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Mo Qingyun's question, Xue Long immediately nodded and didn't dare to hide anything.
Seeing Xue Long's reply, Mo Qingyun pointed at Tan Heping and said, "Just now, I killed one of your disciples. Now, I will compensate you with one. Take Tan Heping as your last disciple."
"Master, you want him to be my disciple?"
Looking at Tan Heping beside Mo Qingyun, Xue Long was slightly surprised. He was very surprised by Mo Qingyun's actions.
In his opinion, with Mo Qingyun's attainments in formations, he was completely capable of personally instructing Tan Heping.
Seeing Xue Long's reaction, Mo Qingyun knew what he was thinking. He explained, "Tan Heping and my identities are a little complicated, so it's not convenient for us to take him as a disciple. In addition, his purpose in coming here to celebrate your birthday is to take you as his master."
Hearing Mo Qingyun's words, Xue Long's heart thumped as he thought of a possibility.
Following this, Xue Long's gaze towards Tan Heping changed greatly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if Tan Heping had something to do with him being able to keep his life.
With the enmity between him and Mo Qingyun, Mo Qingyun should have killed him.
However, Mo Qingyun had spared his life. Could it be that he wanted Tan Heping to take him as his master?
When Xue Long thought of this, he didn't dare hesitate at all. He immediately replied to Mo Qingyun, "Master, don't worry. I'll definitely teach you everything I know and do my best to guide Tan Heping's cultivation."
"Mm!"
Mo Qingyun nodded in satisfaction when he saw Xue Long's attitude. He waved his hand at Xue Long and said, "Alright, there's nothing else. You can leave now."
Tan Heping immediately became extremely excited when he saw Mo Qingyun's actions. Even his body began to tremble in excitement.
Although he hadn't been able to take Mo Qingyun as his master, being able to take Xue Long as his master was something he hadn't even dared to dream of.
More importantly, with Mo Qingyun's instructions, Xue Long would definitely teach him everything he knew.
Thinking of this, Tan Heping found it even harder to remain calm. He was filled with gratitude towards Mo Qingyun.
"Master, Tan Heping wants to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony. I'll take him with me."
After deciding to take Tan Heping as his disciple, Xue Long asked Mo Qingyun for instructions and prepared to take Tan Heping with him.
After all, Tan Heping was one of Mo Qingyun's people. He couldn't take him away from Mo Qingyun as he pleased.
"Alright!"
Mo Qingyun nodded in agreement.
With Mo Qingyun's tacit approval, Xue Long took Tan Heping and left.
After taking Tan Heping out of the small courtyard, Xue Long revealed a curious expression and asked Tan Heping, "Heping, what's your relationship with Master? I don't think I've seen you by his side before. "
"I won't hide it from Master. Actually, I met Senior Mo by coincidence on my way here."
Mo Qingyun could ignore Xue Long, but Tan Heping didn't dare to. He responded respectfully.
As for his relationship with Mo Qingyun, he recounted it without missing a beat.
"You're saying that you just met?"
After listening to Tan Heping's narration, Xue Long revealed a surprised expression. His mood became complicated.
He originally thought that Mo Qingyun wanted him to take Tan Heping as his disciple because he had a close relationship with Tan Heping.
After all this time, it turned out that Mo Qingyun and Tan Heping didn't know each other at all. This was a bit awkward.
Although his guess was wrong, Xue Long didn't dare to neglect Tan Heping. He still decided to teach Tan Heping everything he knew.
With his understanding of Mo Qingyun, once Mo Qingyun acknowledged someone, he wouldn't care about that person's identity.
