Chen Xianwei gave a smile that did not reach his eyes. "You're celebrating too early. Who's to say I won't take in a disciple someday who awakens Heart Fire within ten days?"
Qi Yuan was beyond hope. Rather than hope for something from a madman, it was better to hope for a slightly smarter Malevolent Spirit.
"Forget about someday. Teach your current student properly first. If you can't even teach your first student well, how can you teach a second?"
Laughing as he spoke, Wu Zhen turned and left.
Chen Xianwei watched Wu Zhen leave, his expression dark. He lifted his head, glanced at the sky, and frowned.
"Why is there only one sun? It hurts my eyes to look at it. If there were another one, it'd be much more pleasing."
After grumbling, Chen Xianwei headed toward Qi Yuan's courtyard.
The vast Shen Residence was less a manor compound than an enormous estate.
Thanks to the existence of the extraordinary, labor in this world was far more powerful, and its buildings were taller and more magnificent as well.
After passing through elegant courtyards and buildings, Chen Xianwei arrived at the courtyard where Qi Yuan lived.
"Young Master, today I will teach you how to refine artifacts."
Perhaps because of Wu Zhen's blow, Chen Xianwei decided to stop telling stories and begin teaching Qi Yuan artifact refining.
"Master Chen, you should tell stories instead. I'm more interested in the stories you tell," Qi Yuan said directly.
"Alas." Chen Xianwei sighed deeply.
Sure enough, what madman wanted to refine artifacts? He wanted to hear stories.
He had to be coaxed like a child.
Thinking of this, Chen Xianwei felt his future was bleak. He had no idea how long he would have to teach Qi Yuan.
