Xiao Wu Takes a Master, Qian Renxue Appears

Everyone's attention was drawn in the direction Lin Mian was looking, and they all turned to look there.

"Is there someone else? Could they be the accomplices of those people?" Ning Rongrong whispered to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer. Instead, she raised her guard and waited for the hidden person to appear.

Just as everyone held their breath, the person in hiding finally stepped out.

She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, with delicate features that seemed too perfect to belong to the mortal world.

Her long golden hair lent her an air of nobility, especially her smooth, straight legs, which made it impossible to look away after just one glance.

This person was Qian Renxue, who had arrived in Suotuo City yesterday.

The moment they saw her, even Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were slightly stunned and felt somewhat inferior.

The two of them could undoubtedly be called beauties, but compared to Qian Renxue, they appeared somewhat immature.

When it came to figures, Zhu Zhuqing naturally had the advantage. Her perfect body was enough to drive any man mad.

Yet compared to Qian Renxue, her bearing carried a few more traces of youthfulness. She did not inspire the same urge to conquer her that Qian Renxue did.

That urge was enough to make the hearts of every man who encountered Qian Renxue race wildly.

As for Ning Rongrong, she naturally could not compare to Qian Renxue in terms of figure either.

Although their temperaments were somewhat similar, Ning Rongrong was livelier and more spirited, like a proud little princess.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, possessed an incomparable nobility, like a queen ruling over the world.

The two temperaments each had their own charms, and both held an extremely strong attraction for men.

Overall, Qian Renxue was currently more alluring than Ning Rongrong.

"Senior, you noticed me long ago, didn't you?"

Qian Renxue showed no embarrassment at having been discovered. She stepped out openly, a lovely smile on her face.

"Master, who is this woman? Do you know her?"

Ning Rongrong was the first to step forward, her eyes carrying a hint of hostility.

Although she was still somewhat afraid of Lin Mian, her feelings had quietly changed after learning his true identity.

Especially after realizing that her master had not poisoned her, that change became even more apparent.

She now vaguely regarded her master as her own and would never allow any woman other than Zhu Zhuqing to steal him away.

Qian Renxue looked at her and keenly noticed the hostility in her eyes.

However, she did not care. Such a little girl was nothing to fear, especially since she was the senior's disciple. That made her even less threatening.

She had not come here to become a disciple.

"Little sister, you're Senior's disciple, aren't you? You're truly beautiful."

Qian Renxue praised her and closed some of the distance between them, intending to reach out and pat Ning Rongrong's head.

However, Ning Rongrong dodged her.

"Don't touch me! Who exactly are you? When did you meet Master?"

"Little sister is shy now. I met Senior much earlier than you did. We met more than ten years ago."

Lin Mian watched the farce unfold, feeling somewhat speechless.

Why were they all so troublesome?

Seeing Ning Rongrong practically ready to bare her teeth, Lin Mian finally spoke.

"Enough. What are all of you doing?"

"Qian Renxue, why did you come here alone? Do the people at the Hall know? Does your grandfather know?"

Qian Renxue obediently stopped, her eyes glistening pitifully as she stared straight at Lin Mian.

"I came out to train and accidentally wandered here. Then I found you, Senior.

Of course the Hall knows I came out, but Grandfather does not."

Her voice was as pleasant as a lark's, making it difficult to bear scolding her.

But Lin Mian certainly could. This little girl's tricks were still far too crude.

"Since your grandfather doesn't know, hurry back. If something happens to you, neither he nor I will be able to explain it."

As for Qian Renxue's claim that she had found this place by accident, Lin Mian naturally did not believe it.

Those two old fellows must have carelessly let something slip.

"I've already written to Grandfather. He'll agree. Besides, Senior, you don't want me to go back alone, do you? What if I really run into danger?"

Qian Renxue's voice took on a hint of coquettishness, making one unable to help softening.

With such a stunning beauty acting cute before him, perhaps no man could help but soften his heart.

So she's a shameless wild woman. No wonder she looks so seductive. She even wants to seduce Master. How hateful.

Ning Rongrong thought viciously before speaking in a mocking tone.

"Since you could find your way here, are you really afraid of encountering danger on the way back? I think you should leave early, or your grandfather will start worrying about you."

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Rongrong with great displeasure.

A mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dares to sneer at me? Once I return to Spirit Hall, I'll definitely have a few worshippers wipe out your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Fine. Since you've already found this place, stay here for now."

"When I have time, I'll send you back, so your grandfather doesn't come looking for trouble with me when he can't find you."

Although he was not afraid of that old fellow Qian Daoliu, Qian Daoliu had entrusted his granddaughter to him. If something happened to her, it would still be troublesome.

"Alright, Senior. I'll obediently listen to you and definitely won't cause trouble."

A brilliant smile bloomed on Qian Renxue's face as she immediately promised him.

Since her master had said so, Ning Rongrong could only accept it despite her displeasure.

She was still somewhat afraid of Lin Mian and did not dare talk back to him.

Xiao Wu's mind was in chaos now, and she did not know where to go.

She wanted to return to the Star Dou Great Forest, but she could not make up her mind.

The moment she saw Tang San preparing to attack her, she completely gave up on him.

So everything in the past had truly been fake. His kindness toward her had really come with conditions.

Hearing the commotion nearby, Xiao Wu finally made up her mind and understood what she needed to do.

She came before Lin Mian, suddenly dropped to her knees, and spoke loudly.

"Senior, please accept me as your disciple. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."

If not for this senior, Tang San might have captured her today.

Since he had once said that he wanted to take her as a disciple, she might as well acknowledge him as her master.

With such a senior as her backing, at least her safety would be assured.

Lin Mian looked at the kneeling Xiao Wu. Rather than agreeing immediately, he asked,

"Have you truly made up your mind?"

"Yes, I have decided. I hope Senior will grant my wish."

Xiao Wu spoke firmly.

"Good. From this day onward, you are my disciple. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong are both your senior sisters."

"Your disciple Xiao Wu greets Master."

After Xiao Wu kowtowed, the ceremony of taking a master was complete.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Qian Renxue watched the scene without any envy in her heart.

I don't want to be a disciple. If I'm going to be anything, I'll be the master's wife.
