At Laozi's words, he grew even more embarrassed.
After all, this was essentially creating trouble for Yuanshi Tianzun. But at this point, there was no way he could go back on his word.
With that in mind, Laozi pointed at Shao Lin beside him. "Second Brother, I found you a Direct Disciple."
Without further nonsense, Laozi sent a brief message explaining the agreement he had reached with Ancestor Kirin and its conditions.
"Elder Brother, you..."
After hearing Laozi's explanation, Yuanshi Tianzun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He had thought something serious had happened, only to find that this was the situation.
Finding him a Direct Disciple was indeed rather excessive, but it was not entirely unacceptable.
Especially since Shao Lin was Ancestor Kirin's son and possessed immense potential.
He might have refused before, but after accepting Zhenwu and Bai Jie, he had become far less restrictive in this regard.
Most importantly, Laozi had not chosen the indiscriminate Sect Master Tongtian to be Ancestor Kirin's son's master, but him, Yuanshi Tianzun. That was a recognition of his worth.
At that thought, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately said, "What are you saying, Elder Brother? Since you have already agreed to it, I naturally will not refuse!"
After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun looked toward Shao Lin. "You are Ancestor Kirin's son?"
Ancestor Kirin's son!
Upon hearing this, Zhenwu's pupils constricted as he stared at Shao Lin in shock.
He had thought the Pure-blooded Kirin, Young Emperor, beside Li Yun was already shocking enough. He had never expected Ancestor Kirin's son to come here as well.
Coupled with Laozi's earlier words about finding a Direct Disciple, did that not mean Ancestor Kirin's son would also join the Chan Teachings? Perhaps even as a Direct Disciple?
"Yes, Saint Yuanshi!"
Shao Lin stepped forward and bowed.
