Taking a Disciple

Perhaps sensing that all eyes were on her, this domineering little girl actually showed a frightened expression.

After scanning the four people present, the little girl took off running up behind Mo Tang, tugging at his clothes to cover her small body, then peeking out with her round little head, blinking her eyes as she looked at the others...

Upon seeing this, the clone simply smiled silently.

"Haha, it seems that although I've separated all my past memories into this body, my temperament hasn't changed; I still like handsome men..."

Venerable Lei: "..."

Mo Tang: "...!"

Ying Li: "!!!!!!!"

Ying Li felt that his worldview had been completely shattered...

The person who had been his teacher for decades had not only changed from a man to a woman, but also to such an unreliable one, which he found difficult to accept at first.

After the laughter subsided, the clone's gaze suddenly lingered on Mo Tang. After a long while, it turned to Venerable Lei and suddenly said, "Old Lei, how about we make a deal? Let me, the original body, become your disciple."

These words once again shocked the three men present.

Especially Mo Tang, whose eyes held a hint of confusion and panic...

What's going on? Why are you shoving such a tiny baby at me? I'm not exactly a stay-at-home dad!

Venerable Lei did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the clone, and said in a deep tone, "Oh? You're just going to hand her over to someone else like this?"

This so-called body reconstruction is similar to reincarnation and rebirth in the cultivation of immortality in a previous life. However, most people who do this need to have disciples, relatives, or friends to guide and enlighten them...

Otherwise, what if you die before you've even grown up?

Similarly, although the little girl's body had been reshaped by the essence of Dou Sheng, her physical talent had become extremely extraordinary...

But in the end, it's still just a little thing that doesn't know anything. If Venerable Lei had any bad intentions at this time, the ending would probably be terrible.

Seeing Venerable Lei's reaction, the clone merely smiled slightly and said, "At this moment, the essence of that Dou Sheng has completely merged into this body. Even if you were to refine her in a pill furnace, you would only end up with a pile of ashes. So I'm not worried about you, old Lei, doing anything to the original body..."

That's true, but the implication of those words is that they're telling Venerable Lei that this girl no longer has any Dou Sheng essence, so he shouldn't even think about it.

Venerable Lei remained expressionless, still looking at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Alright, the reason I want this girl to join your Wind Thunder Pavilion is because of my own little selfish motive."

Seeing Venerable Lei's reaction, the clone could only sigh and say, "As you can see, although this clone of mine is quite powerful, without the support of my original body, it will completely dissipate in three years at most. At that time, there will be no more Venerable You Quan in this world, only a newborn girl You Quan..."

"Perhaps this name is the last trace I leave in this world..."

Even with Venerable You Quan's personality, he felt somewhat lost at this point.

However, this emotion didn't last long. The other party composed himself and continued, "This clone of mine can't last long, and my disciple..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ying Li beside him, which immediately startled the latter, who then looked over expectantly.

"But my disciple's cultivation level is just so-so... He hasn't even broken through to the Dou Zong in all these years. That's all he'll achieve in his life, so I'm not comfortable entrusting You Quan to him."

"Originally, I planned to take the little girl to Central Plains during these three years, and then find a suitable family to place her with. That way, when she grows up a bit, she can find her own way based on her own abilities..."

"It's just in time that you've arrived. Although you, Old Lei, aren't much stronger than me, at least you're still a Venerable. The Wind Thunder Pavilion can barely be considered a first-rate force in the Central Plains. If we entrust You Quan to your training, it might be safer in the future."

If what Venerable You Quan said before was still normal, then his later comments about the Wind Thunder Pavilion and Venerable Lei made the latter's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

No matter what, I am one of the Four Directions Pavilion Masters, Dou Zun level expert. Do you think it's appropriate for you to make such a judgment?

Clearly, Venerable You Quan felt his assessment was appropriate.

However, she also had to admit that the current Venerable Lei and the Wind Thunder Pavilion were definitely the best support for her to rebuild her cultivation!

More importantly, Venerable You Quan had a vague feeling that this old man Lei's disciple was probably an even more extraordinary being than his master. If he let his original body follow him, he would definitely not suffer any losses in the future!

"Well? Old Lei, have you thought it through? This is a potential star who could potentially become a Dou Sheng in the future... As long as your Wind Thunder Pavilion nurtures him properly, you'll definitely produce a Dou Sheng within a hundred years. At that time, your Wind Thunder Pavilion's status in Central Plains will probably leap to be on par with the two giants, the Soul Hall and the Pill Tower!"

That sounds a bit like trying to fool people.

However, Venerable Lei was genuinely tempted...

Although he had never even considered becoming Dou Sheng, it would be quite good if he could cultivate a high-level Dou Zun for the sect...

Moreover, both of his disciples are from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and it's a certainty that they will become Dou Zun in the future.

With four Dou Zun, Wind Thunder Pavilion is not only comparable to the other three pavilions of the Four Directions Pavilion, but also to the Two Sects and Three Valleys!

Having thought of this, Venerable Lei was tempted.

However, this matter still requires his disciple's approval, since it was he who accepted the disciple.

Seeing Venerable Lei's gaze, Mo Tang knew that the old man was tempted...

He turned to look at the little girl hiding behind him, who was also looking up at him at that moment.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Mo Tang saw confusion and helplessness in the other person's big, watery eyes.

Although she has a bit of a temper, after all her past memories have been erased, this girl is now a truly helpless little girl... At that moment, Mo Tang felt his heart was touched.

He reached out and ruffled the little thing's head. Seeing the little thing's pouty and angry expression, Mo Tang finally nodded.

"Alright, from now on she will be my disciple, and my only disciple in this life..."
