445: Chapter 445: Junior Palace Master 445: Chapter 445: Junior Palace Master With the protection of Xuji True Master, and Lin Yifan’s self-assurance, An Qi felt much more at ease.
She believed in Lin Yifan’s strength, he would definitely ensure her safety.
“Grandma, I want to deal with things here before going back with you, is that okay?” An Qi proposed her plan.
“That’s fine, as long as it’s not too long, there’s no problem,” Xuji True Master answered.
“Alright then, go back and wait for my ssage,” An Qi replied.
“Oh co on!
That’s usually what the Master says to the disciple, when has it ever been the other way around?
Such lack of manners!” Lin Yanping scolded angrily.
An Qi’s attitude infuriated her; everyone wanted to learn Xuji True Master’s secret techniques and showed the utmost respect, yet An Qi’s arrogance was unbearable to watch.
However, what she didn’t understand was that from the beginning to the end, it was Xuji True Master who was pleading with An Qi; so if one is willing to strike and the other is willing to endure, how could An Qi be blad?
“Silence!
In the future, she will be your Junior Palace Master.
You all should respect her just as you respect , understand?” Xuji True Master rebuked.
“Why should I?
I’ve been in the sect longer than she has.
If respect is due, she should respect as her senior sister.
Why should I respect her?” Lin Yanping was furious, feeling this was utterly unfair.
“Because she is my future heir.
If you don’t like it, then leave Cinnabar Palace, I won’t stop you,” Xuji True Master retorted with dominance.
“Master, the five-year agreent isn’t even up yet, why are you in such a hurry to appoint a Junior Palace Master?
Won’t you be laughed at if she can’t beat when the ti cos?” Lin Yanping challenged.
“Stop being disgruntled.
If she really can’t beat you after five years, I’ll transfer the position of Junior Palace Master to you,” Xuji True Master responded.
“Fine!
This is a promise from your own lips, Master.
Rember to honor it when the ti cos,” Lin Yanping felt so consolation.
As long as there was a chance for a turnaround, what was there to fear?
If An Qi truly had the ability to defeat her, recognizing her as the Junior Palace Master was not too much to ask.
After all, the position of Palace Master should be occupied by the capable.
“Hmph!
If you truly have that ability, what would it matter to appoint you as the Junior Palace Master?” Xuji True Master snorted coldly, with a well-laid plan in her heart.
Her words had an implication: An Qi was just the person she favored for the mont; if soone better than An Qi ca along, she would not hesitate to replace her.
This left Lin Yifan sowhat worried.
Despite these Great Powers’ current facade of compliance, the mont you lose your usefulness, expect to be treated coldly.
He now sowhat regretted letting An Qi wade into these troubled waters.
The point raised by Lin Yanping suggested that the contest for the Palace Master of Cinnabar Palace would be fierce, just like the struggle for the position of Valley Master in dicinal Saint Valley, fraught with danger and unnecessary strife.
But all these were his conjectures.
If An Qi was truly outstanding and strong enough, she could surely convince every disciple of Cinnabar Palace.
Now, he looked forward to what achievents An Qi would have in the future, whether she would surpass him and beco a great figure.
If that were the case, he would feel a bit suffocated, having to be protected by a woman.
“No, I must also beco stronger,” Lin Yifan silently vowed to himself.
“Grandma, I don’t want to be any Junior Palace Master, I just want to cultivate in peace.
Once I have enough strength, I’ll co back to protect my family and live with Yifan,” An Qi responded.
This was her original intention for becoming a disciple under Xuji True Master, not to take her place.
“Alright, alright, alright!
Do as you wish, I won’t stop you,” Xuji True Master said jubilantly.
She didn’t want to pressure An Qi now, lest An Qi had second thoughts; once An Qi gained so strength, she would still pass on the position of Palace Master to her, of course, provided that An Qi achieved the effect she desired.
“Pfft!
Acting all noble now, if you were really that high-minded, you wouldn’t have agreed to join my master’s sect!” Lin Yanping said with complete scorn.
Ever since An Qi woke up, her jealousy had grown; initially, it was because of Lin Yifan’s affection, then due to Xuji True Master’s esteem.
She longed for the attention of these two, but neither had shown her any, which filled her with resentnt.
“Thank you, granny,” An Qi sincerely thanked her.
“Then rest well here this month and put everything in order.
I will co to fetch you personally in a month’s ti,” Xuji True Master instructed.
“Mhm, understood,” An Qi responded.
After giving instructions, Xuji True Master left the hospital with Lin Yanping.
Now, only four won and Lin Yifan remained in the sickroom.
At this mont, the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward because among the four won was an outsider.
Zhou Jiajia and the others didn’t dare to be too affectionate with Lin Yifan, to avoid embarrassnt.
Just then, sothing broke the stalemate.
“Ahem!
Master!
Master!
I’m the little ginseng, quick, look at !
Look at !” The millennium Blood Ginseng tried hard to grab An Qi’s attention, desperately wanting her to notice it.
An Qi felt sothing tugging at her right pinky finger and curiously turned to look, the next scene startling her.
“Ah!!!
What is this thing?
Why is it so red?
And it has eyes, a nose, and a mouth; most importantly, how can it talk?” An Qi asked in a panic, her heart filled with imnse fear.
She had never seen such a thing before and it was truly terrifying.
“This is the millennium Blood Ginseng I brought back for you from the Jiminy Primitive Forest in Feizhou.
It’s what saved your life,” Lin Yifan answered.
“You’re telling that I was saved by this herb?” An Qi found it hard to believe.
How could a Blood Herb possibly bring back to life soone who was seriously injured and comatose?
It was utterly inconceivable.
“Yes!
Is there a problem?” Lin Yifan asked back.
“How can a herb possibly revive soone that even modern dical science can’t save?” An Qi questioned.
“Because it is a Spiritual dicine, possessing a millennium of cultivated essence blood, that’s how it could save you,” Lin Yifan explained.
“Millennium essence blood?
Does it cultivate by absorbing blood?
Isn’t it a demon then?
That’s too horrible!
Yifan, you need to kill it quickly, to prevent it from causing harm,” An Qi was afraid, truly afraid; she didn’t want such a thing near her.
Lin Yifan broke into a sweat, unsure of how to reply.
He had lived with the millennium Blood Ginseng for so long and had not seen it absorb any blood.
But he couldn’t rule out the possibility that the millennium Blood Ginseng cultivated by absorbing fresh blood.
The question now was up to the millennium Blood Ginseng to answer.
Only it knew how it had cultivated.
“Master!
Master!
Don’t be afraid, don’t disdain , I’m very gentle, I don’t bite or suck blood, please believe ,” the millennium Blood Ginseng pleaded innocently.
