Chapter 141: Nalan Yanran's Apprenticeship
Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts were clear. Although she knew her teacher had taken her as a disciple due to her Poison Body, she harbored no negative feelings.
Possessing the Poison Body and a penchant for researching poisons, she was destined to activate her Poison Body.
Without her teacher's guidance, she might have become a detested poison woman. Her teacher had saved her, fulfilling her dream of becoming a prestigious alchemist. With such a great favor, what more could she wish for?
In Xiao Yi Xian's heart, she had decided to serve by her teacher's side for a lifetime, showing filial piety.
However, Gu He was unaware of Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts. At this moment, a white figure flashed through his mind. Nalan Yanran had the idea to become his disciple, indicating Yun Yun had returned. Moreover, Nalan Yanran had mentioned the matter of apprenticeship, suggesting Yun Yun hadn't forgotten their agreement from the cave. Yun Yun agreeing to let Nalan Yanran become his disciple also implied she had forgiven him.
It must be the case.
Thinking of this, Gu He inexplicably felt happy, sensing that Yun Yun still held a place for him in her heart.
Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a smile and asked, "When did the sect master return?"
Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment and replied, "The sect master returned about ten days ago."
Gu He nodded and said to both of them, "Return to your cultivation. If you make any breakthroughs, I'll reward you."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded and left, reluctantly taking Qing Lin with her.
After they left, Gu He remembered the Heavenly Serpent Technique he had just received. He entered the system space with a thought.
Upon entering, Gu He saw a floating blue scroll in the void—the Heavenly Serpent Technique.
With a thought, Gu He called out in his mind, "System, extract the Heavenly Serpent Technique."
As his words fell, the blue scroll in the void vibrated slightly and turned into a blue light, entering Gu He's mind.
Following that, a mysterious message appeared in Gu He's mind—the content of the Heavenly Serpent Technique.
Gu He closed his eyes, focusing on absorbing the information. After a moment, he finished reading the content.
The Heavenly Serpent Technique was a cultivation method practiced by the ancient Heavenly Serpent clan. When cultivated to the extreme, it could evolve into the legendary ancient Heavenly Serpent, a ninth-rank magical beast.
Gu He's eyes showed a hint of surprise. The Heavenly Serpent Technique could evolve into a ninth-rank magical beast when cultivated to the utmost.
This technique is extremely suitable for Little Qing Lin.
Gu He didn't intend to practice the Heavenly Serpent Technique himself. He planned to give it to Little Qing Lin once she reached the Fighter level. It was a perfect fit.
After sitting in the pavilion, Gu He noticed the sky was dimming. He decided to return to his room.
After a month of travel and hard work, Gu He was starting to feel tired. Now that he had returned, he needed a good night's rest.
...
Perhaps it had been a long time since he had a proper rest. Gu He slept straight through the night until noon the next day.
"Chief, Sect Master, why have you come?"
It was only when he heard Xiao Yi Xian's voice in the courtyard that Gu He fully awoke.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran had come?
Could it be about the apprenticeship?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Gu He was immediately wide awake, getting out of bed.
"You've come to look for the chief. I'll go get him."
Just then, Xiao Yi Xian's voice sounded again, and soon, footsteps were approaching Gu He's room.
Squeak!
Gu He pushed the door open and said, "There's no need to call."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Gu He as he came out and quickly said, "Chief, the Sect Master and Nalan Yanran have arrived."
Gu He nodded and walked out of the room, heading towards the courtyard.
As he raised his head, Gu He saw Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran sitting in the pavilion not far away.
Today, Yun Yun was wearing a white dress. When the gentle breeze blew, the white dress swayed gracefully.
Her eyes were serene, her features cold, and her lips curved into a subtle smile, appearing to be smiling at all living beings.
Dressed in white, her beauty was unparalleled.
Her starry eyes reflected a chilling aura comparable to the peak of an ice-capped mountain, exuding a coldness that repelled people from miles away. Her black hair cascaded down like flowing clouds, scattering around her waist, and her elegant demeanor was otherworldly, like a banished immortal residing in a heavenly palace.
Seeing the beautiful lady not far away, Gu He's eyes slightly narrowed.
Yun Yun looked exceptionally captivating today.
Evidently, before coming here, Yun Yun had dressed up carefully.
Realizing this, a faint smile appeared on Gu He's face.
The so-called gentlemen would risk their lives for their friends. Yun Yun, who usually didn't care much about her appearance, had dressed up exceptionally today.
Gu He couldn't help but think that perhaps Yun Yun had someone she wanted to show her beauty to.
Inevitably, he put himself in that role.
Suppressing the hint of delight on his face, Gu He tried to remain as calm as possible and approached the pavilion.
"I greet Elder Gu He."
The moment Gu He appeared in the courtyard, Nalan Yanran immediately noticed him and stood up to pay her respects. Her attitude was highly respectful.
After Gu He nodded at her, he turned his attention to Yun Yun and said, "Sect Master."
Gu He had a refined smile on his face, trying to appear gentle. "It's been a long time. I wonder if the Sect Master has been well recently?"
Looking at Gu He, who was elegant, amiable, and friendly, Yun Yun's eyes revealed a trace of complexity. However, she quickly regained her composure and remained silent for a moment. Then, she slightly opened her red lips and said, "I brought Yanran here to request apprenticeship. I wonder if Elder Gu He is willing?"
On the side, Nalan Yanran's heart skipped a beat when she heard her teacher's words.
Although she had already learned from her teacher that Elder Gu He had the intention to accept her as a disciple, wasn't it normal to have some small talk?
Didn't you see Elder Gu He being friendly and making casual greetings?
Teacher, shouldn't you at least respond to him?
You're just getting straight to the point. Is that really okay?
Seeing her own teacher's calm yet somewhat indifferent expression, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt that her plan to become a disciple might fall through.
