"I won’t accept discipleship unless you call Master."
Julian Linfield glared and huffed, "I’ve crafted flutes for decades, why should I be your disciple?"
"Because apart from making flutes, you’re not as good as in anything else," Nora Scott retorted confidently, then gave him a sidelong glance, "Besides, is my mother-in-law not impressive enough, or can I not hook up with soone of equal renown as you?"
"You’re comparing them to ?"
Julian Linfield felt insulted.
[Julian Linfield: You insult !]
[Mother-in-law?! You showed off your husband, then your brother, and now your mother-in-law?! Nora Scott, you’ve hurt , you’re finished!]
[Highlight! Nora Scott’s mother-in-law is skilled in playing the bamboo flute! Netizens, quickly dig deeper!]
[Why do I feel that Master Linfield didn’t even realize he started a livestream? Hahaha, his reaction is too cute! Parents everywhere want to send their kids to you to be disciples; stop clinging to Nora Scott! Let her go and yourself too, she plays the bamboo flute terribly!]
...
Seeing him anxious, Nora Scott took a sip of tea and then beckoned him over with a finger.
Julian Linfield leaned in.
Nora Scott whispered, "I’ve recently acquired a secret recipe for pancakes; make them according to this, and your pancake business is guaranteed to flourish."
Even though the voice was low, it was captured in the livestream.
[OMG, this gesture is so cute!!!!!!]
[Who wants to team up with tonight to catch this dog of a man! Ahhh, Heavenly Immortal, if you sweet-talked like that, I’d definitely co running!]
[Damn, her fingers hooked, and my face is now rubbed against the screen.]
[Hahaha, using a pancake recipe to bribe Master Linfield is genius!]
[Nora Scott, show so respect, that’s a National Music Master we’re talking about, can you maintain so of his ethereal and noble image?!]
...
"...Well, okay then."
Julian Linfield said begrudgingly, his expression and tone quite haughty, but he was reluctantly appeased by Nora Scott.
Afterwards, Julian Linfield took several bites of his food but still couldn’t let go, "Didn’t you already have a master? Can’t you have one more?"
"He can teach martial arts for self-defense; what can you teach ?" Nora Scott was very self-aware, "Street performance? I’m afraid I’ll get chased away for noise pollution if I play the flute."
Julian Linfield was astonished, "You’re quite self-aware?"
Nora Scott didn’t want to respond and instead asked him back, "Aren’t you constantly criticizing my lack of talent with the bamboo flute, aren’t you afraid that taking as a disciple will ruin your reputation?"
"I now feel that teaching soone with as little talent as you is a challenge in itself." Julian Linfield rolled up his sleeve and continued, "Besides, what’s reputation worth? When you were in the circle, people constantly criticized you, disliked you, and once you left, hey, suddenly you’re a master now?"
Nora Scott took a bite of her al and said, "You’re quite insightful."
Julian Linfield countered, "Aren’t you the sa?"
Nora Scott earnestly said, "Then I still need to counter back."
Julian Linfield: "..." Alright, back in his day, if anyone dared to criticize his work, he would travel three days and nights to the person’s doorstep just to confront them.
Master image?
Nonsense.
Once your work becos famous, over ti, people naturally start attributing various titles to you. Clearly just an ordinary person, and yet it makes you seem so cultured.
If it wasn’t for wanting to pull Nora Scott into the spotlight, he wouldn’t bother participating in such programs.
[Hahaha, I get it now, the relationship between these two is simply based on shared tastes.]
[Don’t bother with master and disciple; just beco good friends across generations!]
[Does it an that criticizing Nora Scott will get attention? Hold on, let cultivate my skills as a troll and ponder how to criticize Nora Scott.]
[Julian Linfield’s master image has crumbled, but he’s quite interesting, living transparently and freely. Hahaha, reputation is worth nothing, and he dares to say it.]
...
"Having one more master isn’t excessive." Julian Linfield advised earnestly, "Wouldn’t having to protect you be good?"
Nora Scott bit into an eggplant slice, "My master."
"Hmm?"
Julian Linfield was curious.
Nora Scott furrowed her brows, "To him, my sole use is to help him repay favors all over the world."
"..."
"Free labor errands, understand?"
Nora Scott’s head ached just thinking about it.
Defying the master’s orders was difficult.
Once a teacher, always a father, it’s not sothing to joke about.
Julian Linfield was astonished, sympathizing as he looked at her, then said, "Then why not ditch him and take as your master, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?"
Nora Scott sneered, "Who knows if you have debts out there."
"Can I trick you?"
"Who was responsible for my one and only food poisoning that landed in the hospital?"
Julian Linfield: "..."
[So miserable, Heavenly Immortal has it tough.]
[LOL, their conversation is so amusing to follow!]
[Hahaha, so taking disciples serves this purpose too?]
[I was wrong. I thought earlier that Nora Scott was too harsh on Master Linfield’s pancakes, now I think... Heavenly Immortal indeed has it tough, I shouldn’t have criticized you. Master Linfield, please let our Heavenly Immortal go!]
Julian Linfield murmured defensively, "That’s because you are too delicate."
"Delicate?"
Nora Scott was incredulous.
She’s climbed mountains, traversed seas, battled against nature, fought with thugs, and sparred with professional assassins... She’s tired of hearing terms like "tough". For the first ti, soone used the words "delicate" to describe her.
Nora Scott felt her skin prickling with goosebumps.
Julian Linfield asked, "Otherwise, why did no one else fall sick after eating it?"
"..."
Nora Scott was speechless.
Soon, Julian Linfield proposed another idea, "If you take as your master, I won’t force you to eat pancakes."
Nora Scott tilted her head, "Really?"
Julian Linfield grumpily said, "I’ve never taken on a disciple, can’t you let experience the feeling?"
Livestream Audience: !!!!!
[What did I just hear?]
[Am I deaf?]
[!!! It’s over! No matter what, Rosa Sullivan is finished!!!]
