Rural Strongest Little Divine Doctor-Chapter 1716: Ensuring the Safety of Master and Disciple
Luo yang smiled wryly.
Having him face that stranger alone, Luo yang was indeed a bit apprehensive.
After all, they had fought before, and Shadow Fist gained no advantage.
If they fought again, he would likely be beaten again.
"Sister Hua, we need to work together to get things done. Relying on me alone, how can we manage?" Luo yang said with a smile.
"Haha, that person is only afraid of you!" Hua XiYi said.
Surviving last time, Luo yang still had lingering fears.
Who could guarantee he would survive meeting that stranger again?
Luo yang said, "This can’t be done by one person. We need to think of a way. Let’s all rest for a bit, calm down, and see if we can come up with a feasible plan. We’ll meet here again in three hours."
The fright at the hotel room had left everyone mentally exhausted, and they really needed a rest.
So Luo yang called Wuweizi, asking him to find a few rooms for Hua XiYi and others to stay temporarily.
Wuweizi wanted to refuse, but he didn’t have the guts.
Once everyone returned to their rooms, Luo yang decided to visit Master Shi Tai to inquire about the usage of the Chaos Orb.
Talking about this topic wasn’t convenient in front of others.
"Little Sasha, you stay here and wait for me. I’m going out for a bit," Luo yang said.
He stepped out and went straight to find Master Shi Tai.
When he arrived at the door of Master Shi Tai’s elegant inn room, it was Hua’er who opened the door. She had a slight prejudice against Luo yang, and upon seeing him, she lightly pouted her red lips.
"Miss Hua’er," Luo yang greeted.
Hua’er rolled her eyes without responding.
Once inside, Master Shi Tai asked, "What brings you here?"
Ever since witnessing Luo yang’s exceptional medical skills, Master Shi Tai had seen him in a new light.
Luo yang said, "Sister Shi Tai, I’ve long admired Qi Xing Cave. I heard from my sister, Sister Hua, that Qi Xing Cave is very formidable. I wish to be your disciple."
Master Shi Tai gracefully declined, "I’ve told you before, I don’t take male disciples."
Whether or not she took disciples wasn’t important; Luo yang just wanted an excuse to inquire about matters from Master Shi Tai.
If not as a disciple, suddenly discussing such important matters would arouse Master Shi Tai’s suspicion.
Seeing Luo yang glance repeatedly at Hua’er, Master Shi Tai, perceptive as ever, smiled slightly.
"Sister Shi Tai, just take me as a disciple temporarily, consider it as half a disciple, what do you say?" Luo yang sincerely asked.
"Your abilities are on par with mine, I don’t have the capability to take you as a disciple, otherwise I would hinder your future," Master Shi Tai said.
To suddenly discuss the Chaos Orb at this moment would indeed be too abrupt.
If Master Shi Tai realized Luo yang came for the Chaos Orb, that wouldn’t be good.
Luo yang humbly continued, "Sister Shi Tai, then what would it take for you to accept me as a disciple?"
At this, Hua’er sneered, "Unless you can become a woman!"
That demand was rather difficult.
Master Shi Tai hurriedly said, "That’s uncalled for!"
Hua’er hummed softly, and Luo yang laughed, "Little Sister Hua, I’m lucky to be your fellow student."
Seeing Hua’er’s slightly indignant expression and lightly bitten lips, Luo yang felt even happier.
"Xiao Luo, you are an extraordinary person with limitless future prospects. Becoming my disciple will only restrict your development," Master Shi Tai said.
"Sister Shi Tai, hear me out. Coming to you as a teacher, it may seem I’m here for Little Sister Hua, which I admit, I’m attracted to her. But I have another much more important reason," Luo yang said.
Seeing Hua’er’s face flush slightly, her pouted lips higher than ever.
Master Shi Tai stared at Luo yang, waiting for him to continue.
Luo yang cleared his throat and said, "I heard from Sister Hua, I mean my foster sister Hua XiYi."
Seeing Hua’er about to roll her eyes again, Luo yang quickly explained.
"My foster sister said Sister Shi Tai has unmatched skills, if I could learn them, they would be very useful for me in the future," Luo yang said.
He actually didn’t know a thing about Master Shi Tai’s skills.
But flattering words are always easy to listen to.
Master Shi Tai appeared very pleased, her smile broadening.
"Did Laughing Girl say that?"
"Yes, Sister Shi Tai, please accept me as a disciple."
"Xiao Luo, I really can’t accept," she said softly but more gently.
Luo yang knew he needed to push just a little harder to succeed.
"Sister Shi Tai, just take me as half a disciple during a trial period, then if you find I’m worthy, make it formal. If there are any inconveniences, we don’t need to acknowledge it in front of others, how does that sound?" Luo yang suggested.
"Xiao Luo, if you want to be my disciple, first retrieve the Blood Devil," Master Shi Tai set a condition.
That condition was truly difficult.
Luo yang said, "Sister Shi Tai, first take me as a half-disciple, and once I retrieve the Blood Devil, I’ll be fully your disciple, how about it?"
No matter how one looked, Master Shi Tai had the upper hand.
"Alright, it’s a deal then!" Master Shi Tai chuckled.
"Master, the person we encountered at the hotel, was he The Tenth Mu Tan?" Luo yang asked.
On such grave and serious topics, Master Shi Tai’s expression darkened.
Thinking for a moment, Master Shi Tai said, "I’m not sure, but that person’s aura was so heavy, it was likely The Tenth Mu Tan."
Luo yang said, "I heard from Sister Hua..."
Noticing Hua’er looking over, Luo yang smiled and said, "I heard Big Sister Hua say that Blood Devil alone might not be enough to suppress The Tenth Mu Tan; we also need the Soul Bead for assurance, isn’t that right?"
Master Shi Tai nodded, "That’s just speculation, not necessarily true. Right now, without the Blood Devil, obtaining the Soul Bead is difficult. We can only rely on you."
This made Luo yang tense.
After all, the previous time he frightened away the stranger, Luo yang himself didn’t know how it happened.
Perhaps the Blood Devil and Soul Bead he carried made the stranger leave.
If he encountered the stranger again, it likely wouldn’t be as easily resolved.
If the stranger realized Luo yang had the Blood Devil and Soul Bead, he would surely hound him.
This wasn’t good.
Regardless, if he couldn’t handle the stranger, it would be a troublesome issue.
"Master, as long as I’m alive, I will ensure the safety of you and Little Sister Hua," Luo yang said.
Hua’er let out a soft disdainful snort once more.
Master Shi Tai turned to glance at Hua’er and said, "Your brother has a sincere heart, don’t treat him that way."
The words were somewhat stern, yet Hua’er was still unmoved, refusing to heed her master’s teachings.
Luo yang laughed, "Master, Little Sister Hua is a little prejudiced against me, but once she knows me better, she’ll realize I’m a good person."
Hua’er’s mocking smile grew more pronounced, her expression all the more intense.
After some thought, Luo yang decided it was time to ask about the Chaos Orb.
If he could learn the method of using the Soul Bead, even better.
It was indeed a shame to possess two treasures and not be able to use them.
