The change in the atmosphere seemed to cheer everyone up.
“You’re Feng Wu, aren’t you?” The Master Teacher smiled at her.
Feng Wu tilted her head. “And you’re the Master Teacher?”
The Master Teacher nodded. “Feng Wu, I’d like to ask you: Do you want to be my disciple?”
At those words –
Everyone else went pletely silent.
No one made a sound.
Sefiro looked like she was being choked. She just stood there, looking rather dumb.
In fact, Sefiro didn’t know what to think.
WHAT?!
What did the Master Teacher say?
“Do you want to be my disciple?”
Sefiro wondered if the world had gone crazy.
She had wanted to bee his disciple since she was born.
Her talented senior brother had always been deemed the most qualified one to bee the Master Teacher’s disciple.
The Master Teacher had been searching for a disciple for years and years.
But…
Feng Wu? Why? Sefiro couldn’t believe her ears.
While Sefiro refused to accept reality, Feng Wu was surprised as well.
She looked at the old monk in confusion.
“Master Teacher, what did you just say?”
The old monk studied Feng Wu, and the more he looked at her, the more amazed he was.
She was such a treasure.
He wondered which master had done the trick, hiding the girl’s talent from the world.
“Your physical features are unmatched. You’re such a genius! A genius!”
If Master Teacher Si Basi was only interested in having Feng Wu as a disciple in the beginning, after he looked past the deceptive trick and saw how talented she really was –
He decided that it had to be her!
Yes, he was staring at Feng Wu as if she was an invaluable treasure, the one-of-a-kind type. The look gave Feng Wu the creeps. She stepped back and gave Si Basi a strange look.
“Hey, kiddo, what are you afraid of? I won’t eat you,” Si Basi said grumpily.
That tone and that look…
Sefiro was so angry!
This wasn’t possible!
It shouldn’t happen!
Sefiro remembered clearly that the Master Teacher always looked aloof and unattached even when he spoke to her father. He had always looked like a statue in a shrine!
But why did he look like an ordinary grandfather when he talked to Feng Wu?
No! No! No!
Something had to be wrong!
Feng Wu had no idea how the Master Teacher treated the others. She only knew that the old man was up to no good!
Therefore, she stepped back, stared at the Master Teacher cautiously, and was ready for a fight.
The Master Teacher looked at Feng Wu in resignation. “You’re such a cautious girl, aren’t you? Look at him.”
The Master Teacher pointed at Seven and said grumpily, “If it weren’t for me, you’d be dead now.”
Feng Wu had her suspicions before, but what the Master Teacher said confirmed them.
