Not every disciple of Eternal Spring Valley is qualified to call Changchun Ascendant their master.
Only those who reach the level of Core Disciple are considered the true disciples of the Ascendant and are entitled to address him as Master.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Wang Shouzhe expressed his gratitude, took out so trinkets, and then carefully observed the straw hut before him.
Compared to the surrounding high-level Spirit Plants brimming with Spirit Light, the straw hut appeared quite ordinary. However, Wang Shouzhe dared not show the slightest disrespect.
The owner of this straw hut was none other than the illustrious Changchun Ascendant.
He tidied his robe, and with a solemn expression, respectfully clasped his hands toward the hut, saying, "Outer Disciple Wang Shouzhe requests an audience with Changchun Ascendant."
"Creak~"
The simple wooden door opened on its own, slowly swinging wide.
A gentle voice from inside the straw hut said, "Co in."
Following the instruction, Wang Shouzhe entered the straw hut and found its interior quite simple. Besides a few basic wooden tables and chairs, there was only a ditation mat.
Changchun Ascendant maintained his rustic farr appearance but carried an aura of vitality, gentle and substantial, making one inadvertently feel a sense of kinship.
"Shouzhe greets the Ascendant."
Wang Shouzhe promptly stepped forward to pay his formal respects according to the proper etiquette.
"Sit down~"
Changchun Ascendant nodded at him, his deanor kind.
Wang Shouzhe took a seat as instructed.
"At the crucial mont, why did you stand up for my Eternal Spring Valley? Don’t tell you have a sense of honor for it," Changchun Ascendant remarked. "Or are you trying to curry favor with , Shouzhe?"
After speaking, he cast a glance at Wang Shouzhe, seemingly with profound significance.
This glance naturally made Wang Shouzhe feel thoroughly analyzed.
Were an ordinary person in his place, they would likely be overwheld by this aura, struggling to speak.
But Wang Shouzhe was far from ordinary. He wouldn’t claim to calculate every step nor affirm that each action carried deep intention.
However, at least this move was far from simple on the surface.
Being summoned this ti was sothing he had pondered over.
Imdiately, he calmly explained, "Reporting to the Ascendant, Shouzhe intervened at the last mont first to repay the Ascendant for his previous guidance, and second to build a good relationship, hoping that my Wang Family could gain a foothold in the Academy." He spoke honestly.
This straightforwardness left Changchun Ascendant slightly stunned. Was the kid cunning, or was he candid?
"I have never liked fighting, nor do I interfere in worldly affairs. What I dislike most in this life is soone like Shouzhe, who is adept at scheming," Changchun Ascendant said with a slightly displeased expression, "However, I also dislike owing favors. Therefore, let this piece of Ancient Tree Armor and these two Immortal Tree Leaves serve as your reward for this endeavor."
With that, he produced a palm-sized piece of tree bark and two tender green leaves radiating life essence.
Wang Shouzhe was well aware these were precious, having seen them on Li Yuzhe earlier.
It was quite apparent that Changchun Ascendant intended to draw a boundary between them.
Wang Shouzhe took the Ancient Tree Armor and Immortal Tree Leaves accordingly, then rose to show gratitude to Changchun Ascendant, "Shouzhe thanks the Ascendant for his rewards. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave."
"Oh?"
Changchun Ascendant raised his brows slightly, "After all I’ve said to you, you don’t wish to defend yourself at all?"
"The Ascendant speaks the truth; Shouzhe is indeed one adept at scheming. What is there to defend?" Wang Shouzhe replied with a carefree smile, "Ascendant, I bid you farewell."
Saying so, he moved to leave.
"Wait."
Changchun Ascendant suddenly called him back.
His gaze upon Wang Shouzhe was complicated, and he felt sowhat congested inside.
Undoubtedly, he admired the youngster very much.
His stern reprimand was rely to make him aware of his mistakes and return to the right path.
As long as he showed a desire to correct his ways, would not the Ascendant, as a ntor, grant him a chance to and?
After all, wasn’t he looking to latch onto a powerful figure? Why not promptly bow and beco his disciple?
Unexpectedly, this lad positioned himself resolutely, ready to depart without further ado?
This greatly disheartened the Ascendant, who had earnest intentions.
"Ascendant, do you have any other matters?" Wang Shouzhe’s manner was polite and respectful, yet slightly distant.
What do you an by other matters?
If I had nothing, would I summon you from afar, just to fill ti?
Lad, can’t you follow the usual approach?
Despite being perturbed inwardly, Changchun Ascendant continued to present himself as a concerned elder, "Shouzhe, is your bloodline Upper Grade? And is it Wood Bloodline or sothing else?"
"Reporting to the Ascendant," Wang Shouzhe answered respectfully, "Indeed, my bloodline talent has undergone a Triple Awakening, yet I am unsure about its precise nature."
Nonsense.
This Ascendant had perceived it long ago, and truly, your bloodline is extraordinary.
Furthermore, if not for the Triple Bloodline, would you have defeated the Core Disciple from the Carefree Lineage?
Changchun Ascendant’s expression faltered slightly, encountering yet again a situation of awkward small talk.
Lad, you talk about latching onto a powerful figure, but you can’t beco a disciple?
Changchun Ascendant found himself wistful, having been turned down once for Core Discipleship. Would he, head held high, plead with you repeatedly to beco his disciple?
However, this lad achieving a Triple Bloodline Awakening at Spirit Platform Realm is effectively a Purple Mansion Seed.
Such Purple Mansion Seeds will inevitably reach Celestial Human Realm in the future, and certainly have the qualifications to strive for Purple Mansion Realm.
