C742 Acknowledgement of Master

In the Pan Yun Mountain Range several kilometers away from the Profound Sect, a careless figure was carrying a young man in linen clothes as he flew above the mountain range.

"Let me go, who are you? Open me!" A series of shouts and struggles could be heard from time to time. This young man in linen clothes was Wuliuqi.

Wuliuqi, who was originally going to participate in the test for the new disciples, was inexplicably kidnapped by this impoverished middle-aged man. He was in a very bad mood, but he also saw that the other party was fighting against so many great cultivators from Xuan Li alone, and only the Master of the Profound Sect was able to restrain this person and let him know that the person who kidnapped him was also a powerful cultivator.

Yu Shunnian, who was carrying the Wuliuqi, did not look too good at this moment. A trace of paleness could be seen on his rough face, which reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that he had been injured during the fight with the Master of the Profound Sect.

"What are you shouting for, brat? It is your good fortune that I took you away. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to beg me." Yu Shunnian cursed when he heard Wuliuqi's voice.

But when he finished speaking, his expression changed drastically. His face instantly flushed red, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat.

Sensing his own abnormality, Yu Shunnian immediately descended towards the mountain range below. Once he landed on the ground, he immediately let go of Wuliuqi and sat down cross-legged, starting to suppress the injuries in his body.

Wuliuqi, who had been released, wanted to flee, but as soon as he took a step forward, he felt his legs tremble, and a sense of weakness washed over him, and then he fell to the ground.

It turned out that Wuliuqi had been so frightened in the air that his entire body had gone limp, and now that he was on the ground, he had no strength left to get up at all.

"Damn it, why are my legs going soft at this time?" Wuliuqi's heart was racing in his chest. He didn't know why the middle-aged man wanted to capture him, but the man was too powerful. It was too dangerous for him to stay here any longer.

After a long time.

"Pfft."

Yu Shunnian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the flush on his face quickly faded. It seemed that he had suppressed the injuries in his body, but he did not open his eyes.

As he did so, he felt his body begin to regain its strength. He saw that the man did not open his eyes and quietly got up from the ground to leave.

"Where are you going?" At this moment, Yu Shunnian's voice suddenly rang out and he opened his eyes at the same time. He saw Wuliuqi trying to escape on his tiptoes.

Hearing Yu Shunnian's voice, Wuliuqi's body stiffened for a moment before he suddenly sped up and ran towards the dense forest of the mountain range without looking back.

"Am I that scary? This kid is really..." Yu Shunnian was stunned for a moment when he saw Wuliuqi running away, then shook his head helplessly.

He stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. After looking around for a while, he turned into a shadow and chased after him.

"Run! I don't care who he is, but if I fall into his hands, I will die without a doubt!" Wuliuqi was sweating profusely, and he was running with all his might, trying to get away from the impoverished middle-aged man.

But a ghostly figure was following him at a steady pace. He did not notice the figure behind him, and after running for nearly an hour he stopped, exhausted, his hands on his knees, and began to pant.

"I... I think it's about time." The man had probably not caught up with him after running for so long, but he still looked back uneasily.

He was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and he saw that the impoverished middle-aged man was behind him. He was leaning against a big tree and drinking leisurely.

When Wuliuqi saw this scene, he wanted to continue running, but he really couldn't run anymore. His legs felt numb.

When Yu Shunnian saw the other party looking at him with such fear, he put away the bottle gourd in his hand and even shook his head.

"Brat, am I that scary? It's not like I'm going to eat you. Why are you running away? And can you outrun me?" With that, Yu Shunnian appeared in front of Wuliuqi in a flash.

When Wuliuqi saw him arrive in front of him in an instant, his eyes narrowed, and a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead. He really couldn't figure out how this man could be this fast and not seem to be out of breath at all. Could this be a cultivator?

Yu Shunnian squatted down and looked at Wuliuqi closely, as if sizing him up.

"You're quite stubborn, and you don't look like a pampered scion of a noble family. That's what I like about you." Yu Shunnian commented and laughed.

"You... What are you trying to do?" Wuliuqi was a little worried that the other party would try to kill him, so he asked anxiously.

"Don't be afraid. I kidnapped you to give you an opportunity." Yu Shunnian looked at Wuliuqi and said in a bewitching tone.

"What... what opportunity?" Wuliuqi rolled his eyes when he heard that. He did not know what the other party meant.

When Yu Shunnian saw the look on Wuliuqi's face, he straightened his body and smiled. But no matter how he looked at it, that smile seemed to be filled with malicious intent, making Wuliuqi even more vigilant.

"Kid, how about you acknowledge me as your master? I am a cultivator at the peak of the Gang-realm. You saw it just now at the Profound Sect. Even a group of elders couldn't do anything to me. If you become my disciple, I will definitely teach you to become a genius. At the very least, you will have 80% of my strength." Yu Shunnian boasted, and at the same time, he told him about his achievements in the Profound Sect.

When Wuliuqi heard that Yu Shunnian wanted to take him in as his disciple, his heart stopped for a moment, and he didn't know what to do. He originally wanted to join Xuan Li Sect, but he was captured by this person. Furthermore, this person seemed to have some kind of conflict with the Profound Sect. If he joined Xuan Li Sect, wouldn't he also have to go against the Profound Sect?

"No... nothing much. I can't go against Xuan Li just because I want you to be my disciple," Wuliuqi said timidly.

Yu Shunnian thought that he would successfully accept this disciple, but he didn't expect to hear this answer. He was so angry that he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

"So what if I go against Xuan Li? Didn't you see that no one can stop me when I kill my way in? You won't be mistreated if you become my disciple." Yu Shunnian said snappily.

"But you still can't beat the Master of the Profound Sect. You just vomited blood." Wuliuqi said in a daze.

He was just telling the truth, but that was something that Yu Shunnian had to swallow. He wanted to retort, but what the other party said was the truth, and it made his face fall. He thought to himself, This kid is trying to piss me off.

As he thought of this, he changed his expression and glared fiercely at Wuliuqi.

"I don't care. If you refuse to acknowledge me as your master, I will kill you right now. Do you want to die right now, or do you want to make an enemy out of Xuan Li?" Yu Shunnian threatened Wuliuqi.

"Ah..." When he heard Yu Shunnian's words, Wuliuqi felt a sudden fear in his heart. Although he did not want to be enemies with Xuan Li, he did not want to die here.

Wuliuqi did not dare to say anything at this moment, but Yu Shunnian's move was quite effective. Wuliuqi remembered that the other party was indeed very strong. Other than Master of the Profound Sect, no one else could stop him. He thought that it would be better to submit to the other party than to die here. The other party had also said that he would teach him well.

After all, he wanted to become a cultivator and change his fate. It was easier for him to accept this.

"I... I don't want to die. I promise you that I will acknowledge you as my master." Wuliuqi looked at Yu Shunnian and said timidly.

"At least you reacted quickly, hmph." Yu Shunnian snorted when he saw that the other party was willing to acknowledge him as his master.

However, he was conflicted in his heart. When other people took in disciples, they would send out a message, and someone would immediately come looking for him. He had to abduct the disciple, and he had to coax and scare the disciple. This made him feel defeated. After all, he was still a cultivator at the Astral Realm.

In the end, in this forest, Wuliuqi paid his respects to Yu Shunnian and became his disciple. Although Wuliuqi did not understand this strange master of his, he knew that he was very powerful. Although he might have some relationship with Xuan Li in the future, he could at least learn some true skills from him. In a sense, Wuliuqi was still willing to acknowledge him as his master.
