"What? I was wondering why I seemed to be related to you! You want me to take you as my disciple, so does that mean I have to acknowledge you as my master?" Yuan Ci muttered unhappily. Dongfang Fu raised his brows and barked, "You little brat, are you so thick-skinned that you're asking for a beating?"
Yuan Ci hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly, frightened. "I just thought I wasn't qualified to acknowledge you as my master. I do have some self-awareness, you know."
"Hmph! At least you know how to behave!" Dongfang Fu snorted coldly.
Zhao Qian merely smiled and said, "Neither of you understood. I first looked at Master Yuan Ci, then at Senior Dongfang Fu, and said that the two of you were master and disciple!"
"Ah? What!" Dongfang Fu immediately leaped to his feet. His face was full of displeasure as he said, "You mean he's the master and I'm the disciple? Little girl, you'd better think carefully before you speak!"
"This... I didn't say anything wrong..." Zhao Qian suspiciously took out her compass and seemed to calculate it again. In the end, she still said, "That's right. He was once your master. It's marked in the cycle of karma... For example, if he taught you spells or something similar, that can also count, even if you didn't have the formal master-disciple title. As long as the connection existed, it counts."
"Ah?" Dongfang Fu was stunned, while Yuan Ci immediately put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! I told you! I am the reincarnation of a Buddha Venerable, so of course tremendous opportunities await this Buddha grandpa! Senior Dongfang, you ought to be grateful for what happened back then! If I hadn't taught you Buddhist arts, you probably wouldn't be this arrogant and overbearing
