Chapter 21: Breaking Free of the Mirror Image
Zhang Bian was overjoyed. The chance was too rare to miss. Without a second thought, he dropped to his knees before Tang Changsheng. "Senior, please accept me as your disciple!"
Tang Changsheng regarded Zhang Bian in silence for a long while, then said slowly, "You're a little old, but that doesn't matter too much..."
Zhang Bian was delighted to hear Tang Changsheng's tone soften and hurriedly kowtowed again and again.
This Method was extremely important to Tang Changsheng, and he had already intended to cultivate a power base in this world. He smiled. "In that case, I'll take you as a nominal disciple for now. I'll give you a test. If you can complete it... the next time I come, I'll accept you as my disciple!"
He had someone bring him paper and a brush. After a moment's work, he had written out the General's Temple's introductory mental Method in Acquired Scattered Characters. He handed it to Zhang Bian.
"When I return, I'll see how much you've understood!"
Zhang Bian took it and looked. For a moment, he felt dazed: every character seemed to move. Yet when he looked closely, nothing appeared to stir at all.
Delighted, he knew that if he worked hard enough, he would surely be able to read this secret script. "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
In learning, seniority did not matter; the one who had attained understanding was the teacher. As a Yin God True Person, Tang Changsheng had every right to accept Zhang Bian's bows.
Sun Ningyuan and Yang Wang, standing nearby, felt their hearts burn with eagerness and a touch of resentment.
The two of them had discovered this opportunity first, yet Zhang Bian was the one Tang Changsheng had taken as a disciple.
