788 Accepting a Disciple
Guan Xiaoyan had seen Xue Fanxin’s ability to ‘run quickly’, so he was not shocked by Ye Jiushang’s sudden appearance. However, it had happened too suddenly and he was not prepared, so he was shocked.
“Brother Ye Jiu, at least say something when you come over. Otherwise, you’ll really scare people to death.”
“I want books on cars, planes, robots, and all kinds of information technology. The more the better. Get them for me.” When Ye Jiushang saw Guan Xiaoyan, he went straight to the point. Furthermore, he spoke in a commanding tone. He was not begging Guan Xiaoyan, but ordering him.
Guan Xiaoyan had long seen that Ye Jiushang was interested in cars, planes, and so on. Getting these books was not difficult for him. However, just as he was about to agree, a thought flashed through his mind. He thought of a good idea, so he said with a smile, “Brother Ye Jiu, I’ll help you get those books, so can you teach me martial arts? Please, please. Just teach me a little martial arts. I don’t want it to be too powerful. I just want to be able to protect myself.”
Ye Jiushang did not say a word. Instead, he stared at Guan Xiaoyan coldly and remained silent for a long time.
Being looked at by Ye Jiushang like this, Guan Xiaoyan felt his hair stand on end. His entire body was so cold that he was trembling. Because he was too afraid, he quickly changed his mind. “Brother Ye Jiu, pretend I didn’t say anything. I’ll definitely find those books for you as soon as possible. I’ll find as many as you want…”
“Kneel.”
“Ah?” Guan Xiaoyan was only halfway through when he suddenly heard Ye Jiushang ask him to kneel. This puzzled him, and he asked in confusion, “Why should I kneel?”
“To recognize me as your master.”
“Master? What master?”
Xue Fanxin stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. She saw everything clearly and could guess Ye Jiushang’s intentions. Hence, she answered for him, “Ah Jiu means that he is willing to take you as his disciple, so quickly kneel down and acknowledge him as your master. To be his disciple is a good thing that even gods dream of.”
Only then did Guan Xiaoyan come to a realization. Although he was still in a daze, he was very happy to acknowledge Ye Jiushang as his master. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Jiushang. He mimicked the scene on television and said, “Master, please accept a bow from me. No, three bows.”
Ye Jiushang naturally accepted Guan Xiaoyan’s kneeling. After he finished kowtowing, he said, “Get up. From now on, you are this lord’s disciple. We’ll talk about teaching another day. Find all the books I want now.”
“This… This lord?”
What lord?
“As this lord’s disciple, you only need to listen to my orders. Don’t ask too much about anything else. I’ll naturally let you know what you need to know. Go and deal with the books immediately. The sooner the better. Bring Little Meow along. It can protect you.”
“Yes, I’ll go and do what Master asked me to do immediately.” Guan Xiaoyan carried Little Meow, who was eating fish, and quickly went out to do work.
Although he had inexplicably acknowledged a master, he had a strong feeling that following this master would not be wrong.
After Guan Xiaoyan left, Xue Fanxin walked downstairs and asked, “Ah Jiu, why do you suddenly want to take Guan Xiaoyan as your disciple? Don’t forget that we’ll return to the Tongxuan Continent sooner or later. It’s impossible for Guan Xiaoyan to follow us. Furthermore, you referred to yourself as a lord in front of him just now. Could it be that you want to tell him our background?”
Based on her understanding of Ah Jiu, he would never do anything useless, so there must be a reason why he had taken Guan Xiaoyan as his disciple, and this reason was definitely not simple.
