Zhang Fengge Becomes a Disciple

On the summit of a deserted island, Shen Ge sat on the edge of a cliff, a bottle of wine in his hand. Waves crashed against the shore, splashing droplets of water onto the rocks.

Shen Ge just stared at the bright moon in the sky without saying a word, only occasionally taking a sip of wine.

In Zhang Lingyu's room, Zhang Fengge sat in a chair with her legs crossed, trimming her nails. Hearing the door open, she said without looking up, "Oh, isn't this my dear father? You finally know how to come back? Tell me, what kind of father are you, sending your own daughter away?"

"Have you forgotten? Our father used to treat me like his precious darling. How come he's turned me into a nightmare now?"

Zhang Lingyu frowned, exuding the aura of a stern father, and snapped, "Seriously, stop being so sarcastic. I'm your father."

Zhang Fengge stopped what she was doing, glanced at Zhang Lingyu, and said, "Yes, you're my father. Even if you arrange a marriage for me, there's nothing I can do."

Zhang Lingyu almost laughed in anger. She looked coldly at her daughter and asked in a cold voice, "What, you don't think much of Shen Ge? Do you have the right to say you don't think much of her?"

Zhang Fengge glared back defiantly, her tone slightly sharp as she said, "I don't have the right to say I look down on Shen Ge. She's great, but I don't like your attitude of making decisions for me without informing me! No matter what, I'm your daughter, your own flesh and blood. At least respect my opinion!"

"Fine, I respect your opinion. I'll leave you be; you have no chance anyway." Zhang Lingyu glanced at her and said, "Now, get out of here. Your father is going to cultivate."

"Fine, I'll leave then." Zhang Fengge pouted, seemingly somewhat displeased.

After leaving the room, Zhang Fengge glanced back at the house before quickly leaving.

More than half a month later, Shen Ge leisurely returned to the house he lived in on Yaoguang Island.

He had barely stepped inside when Fairy Miaoyin arrived to pay her a visit. Looking at Fairy Miaoyin standing at the door, Shen Ge paused for a moment before saying, "It's truly a case of timing being better than early. Look, I've barely gotten home and a fairy has already come to my door."

Fairy Miaoyin smiled lightly and said, "What, Fellow Daoist Shen, are you not welcoming me?"

"No, no, please come in." Shen Ge stepped aside and gestured for her to enter.

After entering the courtyard, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Fairy Miaoyin took out the Phoenix Cry she had acquired earlier, and then took out a piece of paulownia wood, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you have kept me waiting for so long! I have been gathering these materials for several years, just waiting for you."

"Oh, right, I also have a dragon tendon here. Could you please install it here later?"

Shen Ge picked up the item and examined it for a while, then patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll give you a brand new Phoenix Cry in five days at most."

After exchanging words for a while, Shen Ge went into the room to repair the Law Treasure, while Fairy Miaoyin stayed in the courtyard to wait and protect him.

Three days later, there was a sudden knock on Shen Ge's courtyard gate. Fairy Miaoyin scanned it with her divine sense and her expression immediately showed some surprise.

What's she doing here?

Although somewhat surprised, she opened the door anyway.

Outside the door, a small head peeked in. When she saw Fairy Miaoyin in the middle of the courtyard, she paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to be there.

"Sister Miaoyin, what a coincidence!" Zhang Fengge greeted her warmly as she entered. "I didn't expect to see you here. You're here to...?"

At this point, Zhang Fengge raised an eyebrow and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"You came to repair the Law Treasure, but what are you doing here instead of staying on Sea Billow Island? Did your father send you?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Fengge patted his chest and said, "I've come to become his apprentice. Uncle Shen is not only highly skilled, but also an expert in weapon crafting. I want to become his apprentice."

"Become an apprentice?" Fairy Miaoyin glanced at Zhang Fengge and chuckled, "If I remember correctly, you should have the three Spirit Root of water, wood, and earth, right? Your aptitude is passable, but you can't learn weapon crafting. What kind of apprentice do you want?"

"Becoming an apprentice doesn't necessarily mean you have to learn weapon crafting; I can learn other things."

"Yes, you can learn other things, but I don't know if he has anything else he can teach you."

Three days later, Shen Ge finally came out of his room. When he saw another woman sitting in the courtyard, he was slightly taken aback before saying warmly, "My dear niece, what brings you here? Did your father send you here specifically to apologize?"

"There's really no need for that. Our relationship doesn't require this kind of thing."

Zhang Fengge blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Fairy Miaoyin, standing beside her, chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you've guessed wrong. That child has come to ask you to be his disciple."

"Become my apprentice?" Shen Ge glanced at Zhang Fengge in surprise, then chuckled, "No problem, as long as you're willing, I can take you as my disciple."

Zhang Fengge's eyes lit up, and forgetting all shame, he quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "Disciple Zhang Fengge greets Master."

Shen Ge waved his hand to help her up, and said with a slightly serious expression, "Now that you've become my disciple, there are some things I need to make clear to you first. Although your master is a Rogue Cultivator, I've already taken in two disciples, so you can only be the third."

Shen Ge paused for a moment, a nostalgic look appearing on his face. "Your senior sister should be close to reaching the Golden Core by now. Time really flies."

Fairy Miaoyin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Shen Ge's eldest disciple had already Golden Core, so wasn't she, at the Early Golden Core Stage, in the same generation as his disciple? This made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Shen Ge started to have a headache, a headache so intense it felt like it was tearing his soul apart.

Ah~

Zhang Fengge immediately stepped forward and asked with a worried expression, "Master, what's wrong? I just became your disciple, don't scare me."

Fairy Miaoyin, with her vast experience, immediately noticed Shen Ge's unusual behavior. She took out her Law Treasure and began to play a calming and tranquil melody.

Amidst the melodious and soothing piano music, Shen Ge gradually calmed down after a full quarter of an hour. At this moment, a violent killing intent suddenly appeared around Shen Ge, as if he wanted to destroy everything around him.

Although the killing intent came and went quickly, Zhang Fengge, who was closest to him, was still hit. Even with her Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, she couldn't withstand it. She coughed up blood and flew backward, her aura weakening considerably.

Fairy Miaoyin immediately took out a healing pill and gave it to her, which relieved her injuries.

"I'm sorry, I lost control." Shen Ge got up and said apologetically, then took out a high-quality healing pill and gave it to Zhang Fengge.
