"Hehe, Master is wise. In fact, I came to find you tonight not only to perform a formal apprenticeship ceremony, but also to ask for your help." Gong Shaoxi was not offended by Xiao Chen's rebuke at all. He grinned and insisted on kneeling on the ground, looking at Xiao Chen with a face full of longing.
"Stand up first! How will it look if others see this? Don't you want me to treat your father's illness? I promise you, there's no need to kneel! "Xiao Chen waved his hand and motioned for Gong Shaoxi to stand up.
Xiao Chen felt that Gong Shaoxi was making a mountain out of a molehill. The apprenticeship ceremony was just a formality. Why did it have to be so grand? But no matter what he said, Gong Shaoxi kept kneeling and refused to get up.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to pick up the cup in his hand and drink a few mouthfuls of tea, taking it as accepting him as a disciple.
"Thank you, Exalted Master, but I still can't get up, because I want to ask for your help with another matter. My father also wants to be apprenticed to you. If you agree, then I will be his Senior Brother from now on!" Gong Shaoxi said seriously as soon as Xiao Chen finished his tea.
"Pfft —" Xiao Chen didn't even have time to swallow the tea in his mouth. When he heard this, he sprayed it all over Gong Shaoxi's face.
However, Xiao Chen had forgotten to apologize. At this time, he was looking at this strange father and son pair in disbelief. He didn't know what to say at all. Weren't these two people's imaginations too f * cking big? Father and son actually want to be Senior Brother and Junior Brother?
"Exalted Master, don't worry. I won't deny him as my father. It's just that in front of you, we will be Senior Brother and Junior Brother. In front of outsiders, we will still be father and son. There is no difference." Gong Shaoxi seemed to have guessed Xiao Chen's doubts and immediately added.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth but still couldn't say anything. He just turned to look at Gong Ruitong, who was sitting on the side with a smile, and then looked down at Gong Shaoxi, whose expression didn't change at all. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning from head to toe, no, hundreds of times!
Gong Shaoxi thought that Xiao Chen was wondering why Gong Ruitong didn't kneel to him and quickly continued to explain. "Exalted Master, because my father is injured, it's not very convenient for him to walk. this time, I will kneel to you on his behalf!"
At this moment, the tea on Gong Shaoxi's face was still dripping down, dripping onto the ground. There were still a few yellowish-brown tea leaves hanging near his nostrils, but he didn't seem to feel it at all. He continued to look at Xiao Chen with reverence, his body not moving at all. It seemed that as long as Xiao Chen didn't agree, he would kneel and not get up.
Hong Zhu, who was sitting on the side, also had a shocked expression. He thought to himself, Do the sects in the cultivation world have any lower limits? One is a father, the other is a son. Now, not only are they going to enter the same sect, the father and son have to address each other as Senior Brother and Junior Brother!
The strangest thing is that the two of them don't think there's a problem. Instead, they both look as if it's only natural. This is too strange!
"Ahem …" After a long silence, Xiao Chen finally came back to his senses. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and looked at Gong Shaoxi with a strange expression. "I say, the cultivation world is really messed up. Although I don't mind taking in another disciple, I think … the two of you, father and son, should reconsider it carefully? After all, the son is the Senior Brother and the father is the Junior Brother. This kind of thing is strange no matter how I hear it. If this gets out, you will definitely become a laughing stock! "
"Don't worry, Master!" Gong Shaoxi patted his chest loudly and said righteously, "We will definitely know what we are doing. We won't say it casually and lose face for Master Immortal!"
"Don't worry, Exalted Immortal Xiao. My son and I are still quite tight-lipped. Tonight's matter is only known to the few of us here. It will definitely not spread!" Gong Ruitong also chimed in.
"Then … Alright!" Xiao Chen saw that this strange father and son pair would not give up until he agreed. He could only nod helplessly. "In any case, to me, there's no difference between one and two disciples. If I'm free, I will naturally give you some pointers. However, if I go out to travel and gain experience, the two of you will cultivate and comprehend on your own!"
"Of course, of course!" Gong Shaoxi immediately got up and calmly wiped away the water stains and tea leaves on his face. He smiled and echoed, "Exalted Immortal Master has told me this before. On the way here just now, I specially told my father about it. He has already remembered it!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen had finally agreed, Gong Ruitong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He said with some embarrassment, "Master, I'm really sorry about what happened this morning. I … I was blinded by greed and failed to recognize Mount Tai. I said such disrespectful words. Please forgive me, Master. Please don't stoop to my level!"
"That's right. Junior Brother is young and ignorant. He spoke without thinking. I hope Master won't blame him! "Gong Shaoxi quickly echoed.
"… It's okay. I'm used to it anyway." Xiao Chen waved his hand speechlessly. "I'm not such a narrow-minded person. You don't have to take it to heart."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master! Thank you for speaking up for Father, Senior Brother! " Gong Ruitong saw that Xiao Chen really did not mind. He was full of joy and thanked him. He then asked with a face full of anticipation, "That … Disciple would like to be bold and ask Master, what is your current strength? Could it be the legendary Original Soul Realm? "
"Original Soul Realm? What's so great about that? Legendary? You're too easily satisfied! "Xiao Chen curled his lips in disdain and played with the cup of tea that had been emptied.
Gong Ruitong and Gong Shaoxi looked at each other. Did they hear wrongly? Exalted Immortal Xiao actually felt that Original Soul Realm was not powerful enough?
Seeing that the two of them were in a daze, Xiao Chen put down the teacup in his hand. He pinched his chin and asked calmly, "Speaking of which, since your Burning Sky Faction is so powerful in Liuxian Prefecture, can you find a Original Soul Realm Cultivator for me? It just so happens that I have nothing to do now. I can beat up this type of cultivator to try it out! "
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gong Ruitong's mouth opened wide. He was so shocked that he could not say anything.
Master could even beat up a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage? Could it be that he had already reached the level of the Mysterious Ascending stage that he had only seen in the ancient books?
That must be it! Master could cripple Ying Taiqi with one move. Such a powerful strength could not be achieved by just a Original Soul Realm Cultivator! He must have already reached the Profound Ascension stage!
