The two returned to the Gambling Stone Field, and everything inside was normal.
Lin Dong saw three people go out, and two ca back, curiously asking, "Mr. Chu, where’s my master? Where did he go?"
"He has so matters to attend to and will return a bit later."
Chu Ge said.
Lin Dong made a sound of acknowledgnt, recalling sothing, he quickly said, "Oh right, Gu Tong’s relative is here."
Chu Ge was taken aback, Gu Tong’s relative?
"That’s Dao Liu, the senior."
Lin Dong added, "Currently, Dao Liu is with Gu Tong in the resting room. He has been waiting for you for a while now; it seems he has sothing to discuss with you."
Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand."
In the eting room, Dao Liu was sitting there, sipping the tea Gu Tong brewed for him.
"You an, this tea is specially made by Chu Ge?"
Dao Liu took a small sip, a faint tea aroma spread in his mouth, familiar yet strange.
Gu Tong nodded, "The water used to brew this tea is made by converting the Spiritual Liquid he refines every day in a certain ratio."
Dao Liu took another sip, loving the rich aroma.
"Not bad, even brewing tea requires skill; it seems I haven’t misjudged."
"..." Gu Tong curled his lips, feeling very downcast as he asked, "Master, do you really intend to take Chu Ge as your disciple?"
Dao Liu raised his eyes and glanced at him, teasingly, "Why, you jealous if I take him?"
Gu Tong rolled his eyes, gave a light scoff, and said, ", jealous? Ridiculous! I just feel that with Chu Ge’s carefree personality, he wouldn’t agree."
"Whether he agrees or not isn’t up to him. If he wants to delve deeper into cultivation, becoming my disciple is the wisest choice."
Gu Tong cast a disdainful look at him; his master always found ways to indulge in self-love.
Soon, Chu Ge ca up to the eting room; the door was open, and as he entered, he saw Gu Tong and Dao Liu having a heated conversation.
Rather than a conversation, it seed more like a heated debate between the two.
"Senior Dao Liu."
Chu Ge smiled at him and said, "Why have you co over today."
Dao Liu, seeing Chu Ge, no longer paid attention to Gu Tong. He smiled slightly and approvingly said, "Chu Ge, you’re quite good. To think of using Spiritual Liquid to brew tea, quite promising."
Chu Ge chuckled, sat opposite Senior Dao Liu, suspecting he wasn’t simply here to drink tea.
"Now that you’re here, I’ll head down to get busy."
Gu Tong suddenly stood up; he didn’t want to see Dao Liu being rejected by Chu Ge, lest the anger be taken out on him.
Once Gu Tong left, Dao Liu set down his teacup, his eyes sharp, and said smilingly, "Chu Ge, how is your martial arts training going recently?"
Chu Ge was taken aback, "Why does Senior Dao Liu suddenly ask?"
"Just curious to ask, seeing you’ve slowed down considerably since stepping into Innate Grandmaster."
This is an undeniable fact; once Ancient Martial Artists step into the Innate Grandmaster, regardless of who, the progress inevitably slows down.
Chu Ge sighed lightly, "Why ask, Senior Dao Liu with your experience naturally understands the obstacles involved. It’s not easy to advance."
Dao Liu gave him a deep look, then chuckled lightly and said, "I have a training thod; I’m wondering if you’re interested?"
Chu Ge raised his eyebrows, looking surprised at Dao Liu, "Senior Dao Liu has a good thod to enhance progress?"
Dao Liu smiled slightly, "First, just say if you’re willing."
Chu Ge scratched his head sowhat bashfully and laughed, "If there’s a good thod to improve my martial arts, of course I’m willing."
Currently, he relies solely on Crystal Jade for cultivation, but it’s very difficult to collect, so he hasn’t seen one for a long ti.
Jian Chunqiu suggested finding soone for Dual Cultivation, but he didn’t want that. After all, the True Qi from Dual Cultivation has impurities, not so pure.
Dao Liu gave Chu Ge a deep look, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually, I’ve seen potential in you for a long ti. You’re a talent that can be molded. If you want to effectively enhance your martial arts..."
Dao Liu suddenly leaned forward, his eyes fiery, looked at Chu Ge and smiled, "Would you consider becoming my disciple?"
Chu Ge was stunned, he looked at Dao Liu in surprise, coughed lightly, and said, "Senior Dao Liu, you’re joking, right?"
Dao Liu gently shook his head, "Do I look like I’m joking with you?"
"But..." Chu Ge hesitated a bit.
Dao Liu squinted his eyes as he looked at him, "Why, you’re unwilling?"
Chu Ge felt troubled; he didn’t want to be anyone’s disciple, as a matter of respect for his family’s elder.
Chu Ge sighed, "Thank you, Senior Dao Liu, for the recognition. But I’m used to being free, not liking restraints."
Dao Liu wasn’t expecting Chu Ge to reject him, "Don’t you want to improve your martial arts?"
Chu Ge smiled wryly, "Of course I do, though there are many thods, not to ntion it shouldn’t be rushed."
This gentle form of refusal left Dao Liu feeling sowhat unaccepting, "Chu Ge, you should know, I never actively seek disciples."
Chu Ge nodded slightly, he gratefully looked at Dao Liu, saying, "I know, Senior Dao Liu’s reputation in the world is unparalleled. I also understand how fortunate it is to be recognized by Senior Dao Liu. But this matter of apprenticeship, it’s too abrupt."
Dao Liu looked at Chu Ge; he realized he might have been too hasty, "I know the world of martial arts has been unrestful lately, considering the Black Widow’s situation has been troubling, so fine, I won’t pressure you. Take your ti to think it over; when you’ve made up your mind, it won’t be too late to find ."
After speaking, Dao Liu stood up and made to leave, reaching the door, seemingly recalling sothing, he turned back and said, "Chu Ge, the tea you brew is excellent, could you send so next ti?"
Chu Ge laughed, "It seems Senior Dao Liu is a lover of tea."
Regrettably, he didn’t have any Spiritual Liquid with him at the mont, otherwise, he’d have given it directly to Dao Liu.
"Next day, I’ll send you a bottle of Spiritual Liquid. Right now I don’t have it on ."
Chu Ge explained.
Dao Liu nodded approvingly, he hmm’ed and said, "Alright, I’ll head back now."
Dao Liu went downstairs, without returning to the Gambling Stone Field. Recalling Gu Tong’s words about Chu Ge not readily agreeing, he didn’t want to give Gu Tong the chance to ridicule him.
Dao Liu, hands behind his back, swaggered out of the Gambling Stone Field, yet unexpectedly encountered Gu Tong at the entrance.
Gu Tong smiled at him and said, "Master, how was it? Did Chu Ge agree?"
