The savage smile in Meng Jifang’s heart had yet to fade, and he thought of his current situation…
It was not any better.
He was even worse off than Meng Yan, the foolish person. At least he did not know anything about human affairs, and he did not know what stupid things he had done.
Marquis Meng looked at Imperial Duke Meng’s eldest grandson, then he looked at his own son. He suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing at all to get his son to acknowledge a master.
Mo Chusheng was surrounded by important figures, both the Crown Prince and the young heir. She was very impressive. If this person was willing to accept his son, who was a profligate son, as her disciple, it would seem that his son had hit the jackpot…
As he was thinking, Xie Qiao came down.
She was not surprised to see the father and son.
“You’ve changed your clothes?” Xie Qiao was quite surprised. “Can you accept it?”
“Yeah,” Meng Jifang said listlessly. “I… don’t want my parents to die before I do… So… I want to take you as my master…”
“You’re not a good person at all,” Xie Qiao said. “You have many flaws. It’s true that your filial piety is hard to e by. However, if you bee my disciple from now on, will you be as filial to me as you are to your parents?”

If she really accepted him, then they would be like mother and son.
There were not many disciples in the Water Moon Temple. In the recent few generations, they had been passed down from one generation to the next. Therefore, it was very likely that Meng Jifang would be the next successor of the Water Moon Temple.
He would have to be taught strictly and take on a big responsibility.
Of course, this person was not great. He was a bit older and muddle-headed. However, the divination… was being more and more obvious. There was definitely something to be learned.
Fortunately, it was not too late to learn the Dao.
Meng Jifang was a little flustered. He turned his head to look at his father. Marquis Meng was silent for a moment, then turned his head.
“Yes, if I acknowledge Master… From now on, Master Mo will be like my… direct elder. I will be filial and serve you. I won’t offend you.” After Meng Jifang said that, his heart was filled with bitterness.
“Disciple…” Mo Lingzi shouted at Xie Qiao, then he suddenly paused. “You can’t just accept disciples, right? He’s quite wicked.”
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and said, “You’re right. Since you were wicked in the past, if you want to join my sect now, you must pay your old debt. Young Master Meng, I’ll give you a month. If you can lower your head and kneel to apologize to the people you’ve bullied and let them take revenge, while the Meng family is not allowed to interfere, then I can accept you as my disciple.”
There were many people that Meng Jifang had let down.
In the Royal Academy, many humble class students had been insulted and bullied by him.
He should not have hurt anyone’s life, but he had done a lot of bullying.
“Also, as you know, our Water Moon Temple is different from other Taoist temples. Apart from performing some rituals, we also have to learn the ability to capture ghouls and remove bad luck. You once sat in a carriage with Jiang Jinlu. What he heard and saw are what you will face in the future. Have you thought it through? If you can’t accept it… why don’t you go to other Taoist temples and bee an ordinary and well-behaved young Taoist master?”
Xie Qiao explained her request clearly so that this person would not regret it.
If she really accepted him, she would definitely teach him well.
In addition, it was not good for her to hide her identity to her disciple. When he entered the sect, he had to pay his respects to the Great-Grandmaster. He would also have to understand the people in her sect.
As for whether or not he would reveal the secret…
She was not afraid that he would reveal it. She was more afraid that he would not dare. Once he nodded his head and confirmed his apprenticeship, there would be karma. If he dared to act rashly, it would hurt himself the most.
Xie Qiao’s words successfully woke Meng Jifang up.
He was a person who cared about his reputation, and he did not have much courage. Apologizing to those people, as well as facing the ghouls, were things that he feared and could not do…
