Just moments ago, she was on the brink of violence, and now she wanted to become a disciple. She doesn’t even know how to restrain her temper. Only someone insane would accept her as a disciple!
“What’s it got to do with you?” Su Ziyin glared at him fiercely. “You have no reason to bark!”
“Show me how much you can bark then!” He Lianjun immediately retorted.
Su Ziyin was left speechless.
Unable to argue with him, she could only “kill” him with her big eyes, then turned her head and ignored him. She then looked at Gu Qingluan with some discomfort. “You… are very talented, and I’m smart too. If you accept me as your disciple, you won’t tarnish your reputation. Have you ever considered it?”
Seeing her awkward expression, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Su Ziyin’s face immediately darkened, and she blushed slightly. “What are you laughing at?”
“If you want to be my disciple, have you asked for your grandfather’s approval?”
The medical skills of the Canghai Palace were renowned throughout the world. If their people took outsiders as their masters, it would undoubtedly lead to much criticism.
Su Ziyin said, “My grandfather dotes on me the most, he will definitely agree.” “Oh, are you sure?”
“Of course!” Su Ziyin affirmed.
Gu Qingluan looked behind her. “From what I see, it may not be so. You better communicate with him first.”
Su Ziyin sensed something was amiss, turned around, and saw Su Haisheng standing behind her with a stern expression.
“Grandfather, did you hear our conversation?” She went up and held his arm. “I want to be a disciple of this noble gentleman.”
“Nonsense!” Su Haisheng scolded, “The Canghai Palace has collected countless medical books throughout history, and there are countless experts in medical skills in the palace. How much have you learned? Taking an outsider as your master, can you even imagine how others will view our Canghai Palace?”
Su Ziyin was startled by his harsh tone.
She had been spoiled throughout her childhood, with her grandfather always showering her with affection.
She had never experienced such a scolding before, and her eyes welled up with tears for a moment.
Su Ziyin pouted and retorted, “Why should I care what outsiders say? 1 just think this noble gentleman is amazing! Can anyone in the Canghai Palace match his acupuncture skills? He was able to detoxify these people so quickly when no one else could. With such talent, why shouldn’t I take him as my master?”
“It’s just a coincidence! He doesn’t know what we know in the Canghai Palace!”
“But…”
Su Haisheng interrupted her angrily, “Stop it! I can tolerate other things, but this matter is out of the question.”
Su Ziyin was unwilling to give up. “Grandfather, you’re being unreasonable!”
“Hmph, 1 think I’ve spoiled you too much in the past, letting you do whatever you want!” Su Haisheng said, “Since the key is lost, there’s no need for us to waste any more time here. Now, come back to the palace with me!”
“I’m not going!”
Su Ziyin turned her head to find Gu Qingluan, but she couldn’t see her anywhere.
Where was she?
Where had she gone?
She wanted to go and look for her but was stopped by Su Haisheng, who forcibly took her away.
On the other side, Gu Qingluan found Fourth Master Tang and tested the waters with him.
“Have they found the person who stole the boundary wall key?”
Fourth Master Tang furrowed his brows and shook his head. “I don’t know what kind of technique that person used, but they managed to evade our Shadow Tower’s pursuit.”
“Will you continue to confine everyone here until you find Boundary Wall Key?”
“Those who were poisoned have already awakened, and many of the people who came today have high status. We have no reason to keep everyone here. If we continue to prevent people from leaving, the Shadow Tower will be torn down everyone here.”
He made a joke, but in reality, if the Shadow Tower continued to trap everyone, it would not end well for them with so many powerful individuals present.
Gu Qingluan smiled.
Fourth Master Tang noticed that she seemed to have something to say and asked in a low voice, “Do you want that stone that was auctioned for ten thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts?”
