C114 Apprentice

“I know him.”

Yun Hong’s voice was complicated and he didn’t know what he was feeling. He said, “This old man is Zi.” He suddenly realized that Long Zixuan’s identity was different. He paused for a while and said, “This old man and Dean Long have known each other for a long time. We are good friends, but I didn’t expect that Dean Long would be the new Dean of Haoyuan Academy. I didn’t expect that he would be the master of my little girl.”

After he finished speaking, Yun Hong shook his head and sighed. The friend who was drinking tea and playing chess with him the day before was now a different person.

The friend who was drinking tea and playing chess with her was a senior to him a few days ago. Now, he was a senior to her.

“So that’s how it is.” Dean Xiao was enlightened and laughed. He said, “That’s good. Since General Yun and Dean Long know each other, I won’t say anything more. If you have anything to say, you can say it yourself. I will be a witness.”

Long Zixuan nodded and said, “That’s good.”

Then, he looked at Yun Hong and smiled. He said in a low voice, “Grandpa Yun, no matter who I am, I will always be Zi Xuan in your place. I just don’t know if you can trust Third Miss to take me as her master.”

Feng Yu clenched her fists. She hadn’t woken up from the strange incident of this man turning into her master. If she said that she was worried, who knew if someone would listen to her.

He was the leader of the Sacred Martial Arts Institute. Why would he come to the Haoyuan Institute to be the dean? Was the Emperor the one who asked him to come? Logically speaking, Beiming Jiuli wouldn’t order him to do anything.

Judging from Principal Xiao’s attitude, it was most likely that he would become her master. Since that was the case, why would he ask his grandfather if he was worried?

Many thoughts flashed through her mind.

Principal Xiao was surprised to see Long Zixuan’s attitude toward Yun Hong. The person he knew might always look like a nice guy with a good temper, but he knew that he was cold and arrogant. It was difficult to get close to him, and he wouldn’t really put someone in his eyes.

He looked at Yun Hong again, but he didn’t know what was special about him that made this young man in front of him treat him so differently. While he was looking at Yun Hong, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

He also wanted to befriend this young man, but Yun Hong didn’t care about him at all. Sigh, how could he be compared to the old man of the Yun Family?

Yun Hong didn’t expect that Long Zixuan would give him so much face in front of Principal Xiao. Although his status was different, he still didn’t change.

This discovery made him extremely happy. He nodded and said with his beard raised, “Don’t worry, of course, don’t worry. No matter if it is cultivation or character, Zi Xuan is the best. Besides, you saved…”

He was so happy that he almost told Yun Yixuan that he saved Long Zixuan. Luckily, Yun Yixuan glanced at him and stopped him.

Then, he clenched his fists and coughed a few times. He pretended to be serious and said, “Anyway, if you are the girl’s master, I am very satisfied.”

Seeing that he didn’t say anything wrong, Yun Yixuan secretly sighed in relief. He relaxed his fists and sighed. It seemed that he had to keep an eye on him.

Long Zixuan finally felt relieved. When he asked Yun Yixuan to keep it a secret for him, he didn’t take Grandpa Yun’s temper into consideration.

Fortunately, Yun Yixuan reminded him and didn’t let him say anything wrong. He just didn’t know if the girl would doubt him.

His eyes fell on Feng Yu. This girl was wearing the same dress as the one she wore at the palace banquet. He felt that she was very pretty, but she was still a bit too ostentatious. He wanted to take off the veil on her face so that others could see the scar on her face.

His eyes were hidden, so no one noticed it. Feng Yu looked at Yun Hong suspiciously. He stopped halfway and swallowed it. It seemed that he couldn’t say anything. What was it? Who was he saving?

She couldn’t say it out loud, but she couldn’t let anyone know.

Just when she was lost in her thoughts, her arm was pulled forcefully in front of Long Zixuan. As long as she raised her head slightly, she would be able to see that devilish face, and then the dark purple mark between her eyebrows.

“Girl, I think no one is more suitable to be your master than Little Brother Zixuan. Get ready to take him as your master.”

There was no need to think too much. She knew that the person who pulled her was Yun Hong. Yun Hong looked at Long Zixuan and was more and more satisfied. He didn’t know what kind of parents could give birth to such an outstanding youth.

Yun Yixuan and Feng Yu were speechless. They didn’t know why this old man liked Long Zixuan so much. As the saying goes, a teacher is a father for a day, and a father is a teacher for a lifetime. So, could he not be so casual when choosing a master for her?

Long Zixuan saw Feng Yu’s speechless expression and felt that it was very interesting. He smiled and said, “Let’s forget about the ceremony. It is too troublesome. In any case, with the witness of Principal Xiao and Grandpa Yun, I can just exchange a token of acknowledgement with the third young lady.”

He naturally had other ideas.

Principal Xiao didn’t dare to refute his suggestion. He thought to himself, This person is indeed a weird person. He doesn’t follow the rules at all. He doesn’t care about the secular world and etiquette at all.

“That’s fine. The ceremony is indeed troublesome.”

Yun Hong nodded and said. He was a casual person. He had been wandering outside for thirteen years, so the pedanticness in his personality had long been erased. He hated those complicated things, but he liked to simplify everything.

He looked at Feng Yu and said, “Little girl, quickly take out the apprenticeship ceremony.”

Yun Yixuan glanced at Long Zixuan with a weird look. He still couldn’t figure out this person. Since he had come to the Hao Yuan Academy to be the master of someone else, he could just forget about the apprenticeship ceremony.

Sigh, what a freak. He sighed and looked at Feng Yu. He thought that it would be great if this person could be the master of his third sister. At least, with such a powerful master, those people who wanted to kill his third sister, such as the assassin from that night, should think about their own strength.

Sometimes, the word ‘master’ wasn’t just a nice word. It also represented a backer. With the famous Lord of the Sacred Martial Division as a backer, many people would be willing to do it. His third sister was quite lucky.

Among so many people, Feng Yu was probably the happiest. She didn’t need to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, because she would be happy if she didn’t. Not only did she need to kneel and serve tea, but she also needed to kowtow and swear. If it was an old man who was about the same age as Yun Hong, she would just grit her teeth and endure it.

But what about this Long Zixuan?

He was about the same age as her big brother. If she had to serve tea and kowtow to him, she would never do it. She would rather not be his apprentice than kowtow to him.

So at this moment, this guy said that the apprenticeship ceremony was fine. Feng Yu was so happy. Of course, she didn’t show it. She lowered her head and quietly took out the box that contained the Sky Lotus Flower.

She was thinking that since the Sky Lotus Flower was so precious, she should secretly change it and save it for saving her life. However, since this guy was so tactful and even skipped the ceremony, she could only close her eyes and give the Sky Lotus Flower to him.

After all, it was not easy to be her master.

She walked to Long Zixuan and handed the box to him with both hands. However, she could not say the word ‘master’. If she wanted to call this evildoer master, she had to go through her own heart first.

Therefore, Director Xiao, Yun Hong, and Yun Yixuan all looked at her. Of course, there was also a certain unfeeling evildoer. These few gazes made Feng Yu’s scalp go numb.

“Girl, quickly call master.”

Yun Hong saw that she had not called him master for a long time. He frowned and became anxious. If there were no outsiders, he would want to slap her on the head. What was this girl planning to do?

Yun Yixuan’s eyes fell on Feng Yu and he could not help smiling. It seemed that it was quite difficult to make his third sister call Long Zixuan master.

He looked at Long Zixuan again and did not speak.

Long Zixuan looked at the little girl in front of him with interest. A faint smile flashed across his eyes. He dropped his hands and deliberately did not accept the gift that she presented.

He wanted to see if this girl would call him Master today.

Yun Hong’s anxious voice sounded in her ears, but Feng Yu was still hesitating. She knew that she had to call him Master, but she just couldn’t call him Master.

She decided to close her eyes and said through gritted teeth, “Master, this is the gift that I have carefully selected. Please accept it.”

She closed her eyes and couldn’t see him anymore. Feng Yu thought that she was deceiving herself. The person in front of her wasn’t that monster, but the old man who tortured her in her previous life.

Thinking about it, she could call him Master. After saying that, she relaxed. Not only did she relax, but even Yun Hong was relieved.

He looked at Long Zixuan and said, “Zixuan, although this is just a small gift, it is something that I have selected for a long time. I hope you don’t mind.”

“No,” Long Zixuan looked at Yun Hong and said, “Grandpa Yun, I don’t mind.”

Yun Hong nodded and said happily, “Good. Then, please accept it.”

Long Zixuan nodded and said, “Okay.” He looked at Feng Yu and reached out his big hand. He took the box and said, “Since it is something that I have carefully selected, I will accept it.”

Feng Yu rolled her eyes. This monster had entered the role quickly. He was already her master. She really admired him.

"Yun Fengyu, from now on, you are my disciple. I will only take one disciple in my life. Although I might not be the best master in the world, I can guarantee that as long as you want to learn, I will teach you everything I know. As for how much you can comprehend, it will depend on your talent."

Just as Feng Yu was complaining about this cheap master, the demonic voice suddenly sounded in her ears. This was the first time she had heard him speak in such a serious tone, so she couldn’t help but listen carefully.
