The reason why Yu Qing Qian showed her near expert-level plant inscription and potions skills was to be admitted to the Holy Academy as a special exception.
“Sure! Since Senior is so generous, then Junior will accept.”
Yu Qing Qian looked at Elder Gu and continued: “I choose the opportunity to enter the Classics Collection Tower for reading, so I ask Elder Gu to help apply for it after returning to the Holy Academy.”
Elder Qi from the Imperial Academy heard Yu Qing Qian’s choice and a bitter smile rose on his lips. Once more the Holy Academy snatched it again this time. After returning, the Headmaster might be furious for a while again.
Elder Gu laughed: “HAHA, little girl, your choice is definitely the wisest. As for the opportunity to enter the Classics Collection Tower for reading, don’t worry, this old one will help you fight for it when I return.”
Then his tone changed and he looked at Yu Qing Qian with a half-smile: “Are you really not going to consider other options? Such as having me try to ask the Headmaster of the Academy to accept you as disciple?”
In his opinion, a good seedling like Yu Qing Qian needed a good Master. However, among the Ancestors of the Holy Academy, only one was interested in accepting a disciple—but last year, he had already accepted Feng Chen as his direct disciple and said no to more disciples.
Other than those few, only the Headmaster of the Holy Academy might still accept disciples. With Yu Qing Qian’s talent for plant inscriptions, if he kept being persistent, he still had a chance to get him to accept Yu Qing Qian as his disciple.
Before Yu Qing Qian could say anything, Gu Yan, in the small pagoda inside her body, snorted coldly: “Is that whatever Headmaster as powerful as me? Humph, acknowledge what acknowledge.”
“Master, how can you be so sure that they’re not as amazing as you?” Yu Qing Qian telepathically said in amusement, “You’re strong in plant inscriptions, but maybe they’re better at potions and forging than you.”
“I’m strong in plant inscriptions, but I’m also rather proficient in potions and forging. I will definitely be more than enough to guide you in the early stages. I’m an all-round talent, but I was just more passionate about plant inscriptions at the beginning.’
Gu Yan asked aggrievedly: “You don’t really want to acknowledge that Headmaster of the Holy Academy as Master do you?’
There was no rule on the continent that one could only have one Master. Many devilish geniuses practically had several Masters.
For example, someone like Yu Qing Qian could have a Plant Inscription Master as a Master, and at the same time, acknowledge an Apothecary as a Master—there was no conflict there.
“Master, you alone is enough for me!” Yu Qing Qian smiled in spite of herself.
When Gu Yan heard Yu Qing Qian’s words, his wrinkled handsome face glowed with brilliance, “That’s my precious disciple, you need to believe that those people are definitely novices compared to me, your Master.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Master, you’re the most powerful.” Yu Qing Qian catered helplessly.
Then she looked up at Elder Gu and said tactfully with a smile: “Elder Gu, acknowledging a Master depends entirely on fate and cannot be forced. If there is Master-Disciple fate between Headmaster and I, then I will naturally acknowledge him as Master, but if there is no Master-Disciple fate, then I don’t want to force it either.
“So I still choose to go to the Classics Collection Tower to read.”
Elder Gu stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said with a smile: “That’s true, to be master and disciple requires fate. Little girl, you see things more clearly than this old one.”
He only had seventy percent confidence that the Headmaster would accept Yu Qing Qian as his disciple too, and that was due to Yu Qing Qian’s devilish talent in plant inscriptions, but if the Headmaster didn’t like Yu Qing Qian, then if he reluctantly took her as his disciple, he probably wouldn’t teach her wholeheartedly.
However, he liked Yu Qing Qian’s temperament more and more. To even give up such an opportunity, she was truly a rare, calm and composed person.
Most of the people below cursed Yu Qing Qian for being too stupid and not knowing how to take advantage of opportunities when Yu Qing Qian declined Elder Gu’s offer to acknowledge the Headmaster as Master.
One must know that the number of geniuses among the young generation who wanted to acknowledge the Headmaster of the Holy Academy as Master were definitely as many as crucian carps crossing the river.
Yu Qing Qian choice made these people who could only pray to enter the gate of the Holy Academy unable to remain emotionally stable—comparing oneself to another could infuriate oneself to death!
