As he excitedly rambled on, Gu Xiaonan approached Gu Qingluan and politely said, “Mom, we should wait for the person responsible for the accident to bring the compensation.”
“It’s okay, well wait here with you,” Gu Qingluan replied with a smile as she gently took his small hand. “You did great just now.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaonan’s bright, black eyes formed crescent moons.
Gu Qingluan performed the Cleansing Dust Technique on his little hand, cleansing away the dirt that had stained it.
At that moment, a heavy figure, like a rolling ball, rushed over.
“Are you this boy’s mother? I’ve observed that your son has extraordinary aptitude and talent. He’s a promising medical student. As long as you allow him to become my disciple, 1 guarantee that in twenty years, no, just ten years, he will become renowned throughout the world and be respected as both a medicine master and an alchemist!”
Wei Yuantong spoke endlessly, his excitement causing him to turn red, and his flesh trembled like a large sponge cake.
Gu Qingluan, Gu Xiaonan, and Feng Yuanxi quietly stepped back, and Gu Qingluan set up a barrier in front of them to shield them from the spittle shower.
Wei Yuantong was puzzled, but it didn’t deter his passionate speech. “Madam, you must believe me. With such talent, if not properly guided, it will go to waste. As long as he becomes my disciple, his future achievements will be immeasurable!”
“Madam, what do you think?” He believed he was speaking with utmost sincerity, and every word came from his heart. Children might not understand, but adults would surely be moved and entrust their child to him, right?
In anticipation, Gu Qingluan replied, “No need, thank you.”
Wei Yuantong was shocked.
He was actually rejected!
“No, madam, did you not understand what 1 just said? Don’t you want your child to become a great physician and alchemist? In this continent, both of these professions are highly regarded. 1 am a renowned figure in both fields. As long as your child follows me, his future will be limitless. Do you understand what 1 mean? You must carefully consider this; don’t ruin your child’s prospects!”
He earnestly persuaded her, his face turning red, and his chubby cheeks quivered, diverting attention to his facial fat.
Gu Qingluan thought to herself, “Is this guy a big scammer?”
Regardless of whether it was a physician or an alchemist, none of them should be this overweight, right?
A few acupuncture needles or a slimming pill could quickly transform a person’s body.
With such a massive physique, he was either ill or lazy.
In any case, he must have nothing to do with alchemy or medicine.
So, she ruthlessly declined once again.
Wei Yuantong became anxious. “Hey, are you clueless, woman? Don’t you care about your child? Do you know who I am?”
Seeing that Gu Qingluan remained entirely indifferent, he no longer cared about revealing his identity.
“1 am Wei Yuantong, the director of the Alchemy Hall at Qiankun Academy, one of the five Grand Masters of Alchemy on the entire continent!”
After boldly introducing himself, he awaited Gu Qingluan’s change in attitude.
Gu Qingluan, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, asked, “You are Wei Yuantong?”
“That’s right! I never change my name or hide my identity. I am Wei Yuantong! If your child becomes my disciple, not only will he have the opportunity to obtain sacred-grade elixirs, but he may also become a Grand Master of alchemy in the future.”
He arrogantly raised an eyebrow.
Surely, she would agree now, wouldn’t she?
“No need,” Gu Qingluan calmly rejected for the third time.
Moreover, considering that Xiaonan was about to enroll in Qiankun Academy, and even if he didn’t have another mentor, she was fully capable of teaching him herself. She had no desire for this overweight old man to have a detrimental influence on her son.
She certainly didn’t want her lovely son to turn into a round ball one day. She felt that Xiaonan was fine just the way he was now..
