"Yan Que? What's this girl doing here alone?"
Xu Fan muttered inwardly, but outwardly he directly spoke to dismiss her, "Awake, but needs quiet recuperation. Is there sothing you want from ?"
Regarding Yan Que, Xu Fan couldn't say he disliked her, nor did he have a hint of fondness for her. From the first mont he saw Yan Que, Xu Fan deed her a spoiled little girl, even though he himself was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager...
"No, nothing."
The voice outside sounded a bit flustered, even sowhat at a loss, as if their roles had reversed, as if Yan Que was the guest and Xu Fan was the master of the Six Gods.
"Has this girl changed her nature? Wandering here for nothing? Could there be so sinister plot?" Xu Fan wondered silently, yet he said nothing, waiting for Yan Que to leave.
It wasn't Xu Fan judging Yan Que unjustly; it's just that Yan Que's previous personality was truly too wicked, forcing Xu Fan to remain vigilant.
However, after waiting for a full minute, there was no sound of footsteps outside the door, but Yan Que's slightly timid voice sounded again, "Brother Xu, I'm here to check on you..."
Pffft!
Xu Fan was almost shocked to the point of spitting blood when he heard those three words 'Brother Xu.' Such a lawless little demon lord actually calling him Brother Xu? And in such a gentle tone?
I knew it was a trick!
"Uh... Little Que, we're not eting for the first ti; no need to be so courteous. Just say what's on your mind."
Outside the door, Yan Que blushed furiously when Xu Fan called her Little Que. Her previously fluent speech now stuttered, "Brother Xu, I... I actually have no particular issue, just wanted to chat with you."
No issue, my foot! Such oddly gentle tones clearly signal "I have sothing!"
Xu Fan was intrigued; a thousand thoughts flashed across his mind, but his face remained unfazed as he calmly spoke, "Oh? Did the White Tiger and other seniors send you, or did you co of your own accord?"
The matter of the Fire Spirit Fruit is crucial for the Six Gods. The White Tiger and Azure Dragon are smart enough not to delay a mont. In all likelihood, Yan Que ca on her own! As long as it's not representing the Six Gods, it's a trivial matter.
"I ca on my own. Previously, I had many misunderstandings with you, Brother Xu. Today I ca specifically to apologize to you."
Indeed, it's the girl's own idea.
Such a rambunctious girl being so strangely gentle today? Could she be scared by yesterday's events and truly co to apologize?
Xu Fan never seriously dealt with Yan Que before. Now at the point of cooperation with the Six Gods, with the principle of avoiding complications, he laughed, "They say you don't know soone until you fight with them! I never took the misunderstandings to heart; if you hadn't brought it up, I might have already forgotten."
"Alright, I accept your apology, it's nothing."
Outside, Yan Que's expression was sowhat complex.
Previously, with the help of biological injections, Yan Que beca one of the heads of the Six Gods at the age of twenty, a prodigy who disregarded others utterly. But after eting Xu Fan, everything changed.
Xu Fan is not only younger than Yan Que but more talented and extraordinary. After the series of events yesterday, Yan Que was thoroughly convinced that there was an insurmountable abyss between herself and Xu Fan! Moreover, this abyss would only widen, becoming more and more unattainable!
A genius only admires other geniuses! Talented like Yan Que, she's only willing to bow to those who are more exceptional than herself!
Thus, after a sleepless night of tossing and turning, Yan Que finally arrived here and mustered the courage to speak the words that had been tumultuously brewing within her, "Brother Xu, please take as your disciple! I want to beco stronger!"
Pffft!
Xu Fan could no longer hold it in this ti; the tea he had just drunk spurted out entirely.
Take in a disciple? Did I hear wrong?
Xu Fan stood there in a daze, then saw Yan Que push open the door, looking at him resolutely, bent her knees, and directly kneeled in front of Xu Fan, as if saying she wouldn't get up until he agreed.
"What's this woman up to?" Xu Fan was completely baffled. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't fathom what was going on inside Yan Que's head.
How old is Xu Fan? Yan Que might be young, but she's a few years older than Xu Fan. How can Xu Fan be her master? Moreover, Xu Fan's own ti is too precious to split in half; where would he find ti to teach Yan Que?
Most importantly, we're really not close, okay? Though Xu Fan had t Yan Que several tis, and with today's apology forgiven, their relationship can't be considered bad, but certainly not close.
Xu Fan had been wandering the martial arts world for years. While he might not be extrely prudent, he understands the basics of human relations. In contrast, Yan Que grew up pampered within the Six Gods, sheltered by seniors, and doesn't understand such subtleties. What she thinks, she does!
As the saying goes, a flurry of punches can knock out the master, Yan Que's series of moves left Xu Fan genuinely baffled. Despite not understanding Yan Que's true intentions, Xu Fan couldn't just rashly accept a disciple.
"Ahh, sorry, but I've been rather busy lately, not considering accepting disciples. How about I introduce so suitable people to you?"
Xu Fan's gentle refusal was barely out when Yan Que stood up abruptly, tears in her eyes, "Xu Fan! Taking as a disciple, is it such a burden for you?"
The instant flip in mood, indeed Yan Que's style.
"Um..." Xu Fan wanted to know what was in this woman's head, but he ultimately didn't say it out loud, rely spreading his palms helplessly.
"Hmph! I was going to tell you sothing about biological injections, but now it seems unnecessary!" Yan Que snorted coldly, tears still clinging to her eye corners as she turned and left, leaving Xu Fan utterly bewildered.
With a disciple like that, whoever was foolish enough to be her master would sure live ten years less! Might even get frustrated to death soday!
With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Xu Fan threw the chaotic apprentice-seeking matter out of his mind; arguing with such a barely grown girl was just asking for trouble.
"Hahaha! Old Brother Xu!"
Outside, the White Tiger and Azure Dragon and others arrived in alliance, their voices preceding them.
Xu Fan remained seated, the table in front of him densely packed with Fire Spirit Fruits.
The eting was naturally joyful for both sides.
The White Tiger and others left satisfied, bringing along two thousand Fire Spirit Fruits, which not only secured White Tiger's position but also would allow the Six Gods to rapidly grow into the core strength of the Huaxia cultivation world in a short ti.
The agreent between the two parties had long been established. Xu Fan's three conditions had already been t by the Six Gods, with only the most critical one remaining—the biological injection!
