Yang Wu entered a state of enlightenment for a full seven days before he slowly woke up.
In these three days, he digested every word that Hao Ren passed down to him. There weren't many words, but each one was like a pearl, filled with profound truths. It was all-encompassing, and the Dao could transform into a myriad of things. For a time, he only understood half of it. Perhaps as he grew, he would be able to comprehend these Great Daos. Just like when he obtained the will of his ancestor on the twelfth floor of the God of War Pagoda, he needed time to comprehend it.
Yang Wu looked at the meditating old man not far away. He bowed ninety degrees and said, "Many thanks, Master."
"This is our master and disciple relationship. I can only pass down this much. How far you can grow in the future will depend on your luck." Hao Ren opened his eyes and looked at Yang Wu.
Yang Wu firmly said, "I won't disgrace the sect."
At this moment, he finally regarded himself as a disciple of the Heavenly Palace, as Hao Ren's disciple.
This master of his had great fortune. Although he was strict with him, he wasn't stingy. He passed down the essence of his life's cultivation to him in one go. This was something that no one could easily do.
Hao Ren looked at Yang Wu with satisfaction and said, "You still know how to be grateful. Not bad." After a pause, he said, "What's inside the ice gourd?"
Yang Wu discovered that the ice gourd had unknowingly appeared outside his body. He heavily slapped his forehead and said, "My little sister is inside."
The next moment, he said to the ice gourd, "Little Nannan, come out."
At the same time, he discovered that the ice gourd was surrounded by many ice lotuses and a gourd vine tree. He didn't understand what was going on.
The ice gourd swayed and flashed with multicolored light. Little Nannan appeared outside the ice gourd. She had a confused expression as she said, "Big brother, you called for me?"
Without waiting for Yang Wu to respond, a force bound Nannan and swept her in Hao Ren's direction.
Yang Wu shouted in alarm, "Master, please be merciful."
Hao Ren's eyes glowed as he looked at the little Nannan. The little Nannan looked back at him with a timid face. The big eyes stared at the little eyes, which was particularly interesting.
"Grandpa, are … are you a bad person?" Little Nannan asked in a mosquito-like voice.
"Haha, how could Grandpa be a bad person? Look at Grandpa's righteous face, upright and chivalrous. He doesn't even want to trample an ant to death. He's a good person who can't be any better." Hao Ren revealed a rare smile.
Yang Wu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He exclaimed in his heart, "Is this old man really my master?"
The impression that Hao Ren gave him was that he was incomparably harsh, strict, and old-fashioned. He wasn't too friendly to him, but he suddenly spoke so amiably to little Nannan, which really made him scratch his head.
Little Nannan tugged at Hao Ren's beard, blinking his innocent eyes as he said, "Grandpa is so kind." After a pause, she retracted her hand and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I broke your beard."
She accidentally broke three strands of Hao Ren's beard.
Yang Wu's heart was incomparably nervous. Would that guy flip out?
Hao Ren stared blankly for a moment before saying without a care, "It's fine, it's fine. Isn't it just a few strands of beard? They'll grow back. "
"Really? Then can I tug at Nannan again? "
"Uh … As long as you like it, I'll let you tug at it every day."
… …
"Could it be that this old man is a pedophile?" Yang Wu's eyes widened as he thought to himself.
Other than this conclusion, he couldn't explain why Hao Ren was so good to little Nannan.
Hao Ren and little Nannan teased each other for a while. Yang Wu discovered that Hao Ren didn't have any ill intentions towards little Nannan, so he relaxed.
Yang Wu walked over and said, "Master, she's my little sister. Can you let her go first?"
He was still very afraid that his master was a pedophile.
Hao Ren hugged little Nannan and smiled, "Very good. She's your little sister, so she's this master's disciple." Then he asked little Nannan, "Are you willing to take Grandpa as your master?"
Little Nannan looked at Yang Wu and asked, "Big brother, what is taking a master?"
Yang Wu was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's to follow him in cultivating martial arts. You'll become his disciple and he'll be your master."
"Then I don't want it. I just want to follow big brother in cultivating." Little Nannan replied without hesitation.
Hao Ren anxiously said, "I'm his master. I'm much stronger than him. He still doesn't have the qualifications to leave my tutelage."
"But I still want to follow big brother."
"If you follow your master, it won't hinder the feelings between you two. If you both take me as your master, you can often cultivate together. Isn't that good?"
"Big brother, will you really always follow grandpa in cultivating?"
"Uh … I don't think so."
"Then I'll always be by big brother's side."
"Yang Wu, from today onwards, you'll cultivate by my side every day."
… …
Yang Wu was confused.
Just a moment ago, his master had said that he had taught him everything that needed to be taught. The rest would depend on his own luck. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
"Master, this isn't too good. Just now …" Yang Wu said gloomily.
In fact, he quite liked the days of free cultivation. He didn't want to be watched every day. That way, he wouldn't even have his freedom.
"Are you the master or am I the master?" Hao Ren said with a serious face.
"You're a bad person. Don't yell at my big brother." Little Nannan unhappily said.
Hao Ren hurriedly whispered, "How is grandpa a bad person? Grandpa is teaching your big brother to respect his master."
"You're yelling at big brother. You're a bad person. Let go of me." Little Nannan said with a sobbing tone.
Hao Ren was so scared that he panicked. He hurriedly let little Nannan go and then continued to lower his attitude and said, "Okay, okay. Grandpa will listen to you. I won't yell at your big brother anymore. Is that okay?"
"You can never yell at my big brother. Otherwise … Otherwise I'll cry in front of you." Little Nannan pouted her little jade lips and said seriously.
"Okay, okay. I'll never yell at you. You have to believe that grandpa is a good person. Do you want to eat the candy grandpa gave you?"
"No, I want big brother."
Yang Wu looked at the little Nannan who was running back and then looked at his master who had a deflated face. He almost laughed out loud. He laughed in his heart and said, "This old fellow also has a day like this. Truly, there is always one thing to conquer another."
Yang Wu picked up little Nannan and said, "Little Nannan, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I still haven't finished eating the candy that big brother gave me." Little Nannan replied.
When she entered the ice gourd, Yang Wu gave her some candy to quench her hunger. One candy could keep her from being hungry for three days.
"Little brat, what kind of candy did you give her?" Hao Ren couldn't help but shout after hearing this.
Little Nannan stared at Hao Ren and said, "You're yelling at big brother again. You're a bad person. You're a bad person …"
Hao Ren was defeated again.
His begging was unable to obtain little Nannan's forgiveness. He could only ask Yang Wu for help.
Yang Wu turned a blind eye to it. He wanted to test little Nannan's position in his master's heart.
Hao Ren said to Yang Wu in a low voice, "My good disciple, you have to prove it for your master. Master has been so good to you. I've just passed on my life's knowledge to you. Who else has been as good to you as your master?"
"This shameless old man. He really has ideas about little Nannan. He's too perverted." Yang Wu was even more certain that Hao Ren had ulterior motives towards little Nannan. He said to Hao Ren, "Master is not bad, but sometimes he's still very fierce to me."
"Bad person." Little Nannan immediately echoed from the side. She then said, "Big brother, let's quickly get away from this bad person."
Hao Ren looked at Yang Wu and said, "A strict master produces a fine disciple. If I'm not strict with you, how will you become a capable person in the future?" He then smiled at little Nannan and said, "Don't worry, master will treat you and your sister well in the future. I won't be fierce anymore. If grandpa is fierce again, you ….. How about you pull grandpa's beard?"
"Really?" Little Nannan asked.
"Really." Hao Ren patted his chest.
Little Nannan wasn't stupid. She asked Yang Wu, "Big brother, what do you think?"
Yang Wu also didn't dare to take a foot and an inch. He nodded and said, "We'll trust him this time."
Hao Ren gave Yang Wu a look as if to say, "Brat, at least you're tactful."
The next moment, Yang Wu added, "If he's fierce to big brother again, you'll pull out all of his beard."
Little Nannan clenched her fists and said, "Listen to big brother, pull out all of his beard."
Hao Ren couldn't help but stroke his beard. He complained in his heart, "This time I've met the little ancestor."
Hao Ren naturally wasn't a pedophile. He had taken a fancy to little Nannan's physique. She might be the best successor to the Heavenly Temple.
Little Nannan had been bored for many days. Yang Wu let her play nearby.
Following this, Hao Ren really did reveal to Yang Wu that little Nannan wanted to take him as her master. He wanted Yang Wu to think about her, so as to not ruin little Nannan's life.
"Shizun, you can't always force people to take you as a disciple." Yang Wu said.
"Humph, what do you know? The only people who can enter this master's eyes are you and your sister." Hao Ren said coldly.
Yang Wu rubbed his hands and asked, "Shizun, you … you really didn't take little Nannan as your disciple because you like her?"
"Of course I like this little girl. Otherwise, why would I take her as my disciple?"
"Fuck, you old pervert, you won't even let off a child."
"Impudent!"
Bang!
Yang Wu was in for a tragedy.
He even dared to curse his master. He was sent flying by his master's palm and his bones were almost broken.
Little Nannan began to cry loudly.
Hao Ren cursed inwardly, "This is bad!"
He had just promised that he wouldn't be fierce to Yang Wu. Just as he finished speaking, he injured Yang Wu. He couldn't keep his beard.
Over the next two days, Hao Ren used all kinds of methods to curry favor. He took out candies, spirit flowers, and even found a young spirit monster. However, he couldn't coax little Nannan to forgive him. His beard was completely pulled out.
Yang Wu finally understood that his master wasn't a pedophile. Rather, he thought highly of little Nannan's talent and wanted to take her as his disciple to inherit the will of the Heavenly Temple.
Yang Wu considered it over and over again before reluctantly agreeing to his master's request to call little Nannan to take him as her master.
During this time, he ruthlessly extorted a large sum of money from his master. Imperial edicts, holy objects, spirit pills, and so on, he plundered a pile. That old man didn't seem to care too much. For little Nannan, he was even willing to take out all his savings.
In the end, little Nannan reluctantly took Hao Ren as her master.
When she took him as her master, little Nannan made him set three rules. First, he wasn't allowed to bully her big brother. Second, he wasn't allowed to bully her big brother. Third, he wasn't allowed to bully her big brother.
Only after he agreed did she perform the ceremony of taking him as her master.
"In the end, who is the master here?"
