Looking at the handsome male cultivator in front of her, dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura, with a face like jade, a slender figure, and a smile on his face, Shushu quietly straightened up from lying down and respectfully asked.

"You, you are Senior Luo Feng." After asking, realizing that she had been a bit impolite, she quickly put her hands together and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior."

The next moment, she heard the other person ask with a smile, "Little one, would you like to become my apprentice?"

Shushu hadn't expected this turn of events. She was a little stunned and exclaimed, "Huh?" Her face was full of confusion. Why was she suddenly going to become an apprentice? Xuejie hadn't said anything about becoming an apprentice!

Perhaps the doubt in Shushu's eyes was too obvious, so Immortal Venerable Luofeng offered a rare explanation.

"You have passed the test and are eligible to receive the inheritance. You have also signed a contract with Xue Hong's descendant. I just saw that I have a master-disciple relationship with you. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

He paused, perhaps feeling that this didn't showcase his strengths and wouldn't fool his future apprentice, so he added something else.

"This secret realm only opened ten thousand years after my ascension. Given my strength, I must have already laid a certain foundation in the Immortal Realm by now. My little one, the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan is also highly coveted in the Upper Realm. If you are willing to become my disciple, I will be your great support after you ascend. What do you say?"

The last sentence was clearly very tempting, and Shushu was very tempted.

Although she has not yet ascended to the Immortal Realm, she has not set foot in the Immortal Realm before the time rewind.

Before they left the Rainy Continent, Little Heavenly Dao had already found out and informed them that the person behind everything was a female immortal named Huaiyu from the Immortal Realm.

In other words, they actually had a major enemy in the immortal realm.

Most importantly, the territory of the Treasure-Seeking Rat clan is actually in the Great Thousand World, not the Immortal Realm. She is not sure if the Treasure-Seeking Rat has any powerful backers in the Immortal Realm.

To be honest, Shushu really wanted to agree and find herself another powerful backer, but when she thought of her kind master, Liuyu, she ultimately hesitated.

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure out how to refuse without offending this powerful figure, Immortal Venerable Luofeng spoke up again.

"Little one, is there anything troubling you? Tell me, and I'll hear it. Maybe I can help." He hadn't missed the little one's fleeting moment of attraction just now.

Since the little guy is tempted but wants to refuse, it means he has concerns. Only by speaking up can these concerns be resolved.

Thinking back, he had calculated before his main soul ascended that he would have three male disciples and one female disciple in this life. The female disciple was someone he took in in the lower realm ten thousand years after his ascension.

This little brat in front of me has a master-disciple relationship with me. It's not like everything is aligned. I can't let this opportunity slip by, otherwise his lineage will truly become a den of monks.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward the millet became even more eager.

Shushu felt a chill run down her spine from such a gaze, and goosebumps rose on her skin. If the other person hadn't meant no harm, she would have run away long ago.

However, when she mentioned the master-disciple relationship, Shushu secretly sensed it and it seemed that she did indeed have another master-disciple relationship line in the hazy sense.

Now that he was sure the other party wasn't lying, Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained his concerns.

Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to reveal everything. She only said that she had previously thwarted a certain immortal's immoral deeds in the mortal realm and had probably inadvertently made an enemy of that person. That was all.

In response, Immortal Venerable Luofeng simply waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry, as he was very powerful and could definitely protect her in the Immortal Realm.

As for Shushu saying that he had another master, he didn't care; they could each say their own version of events later.

Thus, the matter of Shushu becoming an apprentice was settled. Immortal Venerable Luofeng summoned Xuejie and Jinshao, spoke with them, and then had Shushu become an apprentice directly.

Without hesitation, Shushu immediately removed his disguise, revealed his true appearance, and began to seek apprenticeship.

This time, the glutinous rice ball was in human form, and it even offered a cup of tea to Immortal Venerable Luofeng in a very proper manner.

After drinking his tea, Immortal Venerable Luofeng raised his hand and the disciple token that had been prepared long ago, which had been placed deep within the secret realm, appeared in his hand.

He casually engraved Shushu's name on the token and infused it with Shushu's essence. The token was completed, and from then on, Shushu officially became his last disciple.

The moment the token was engraved with Shushu's name, the real Luofeng Immortal Venerable, located in a grand hall in the Immortal Realm, sensed it.

They quickly arrived at the palace where the tokens were kept, and saw that the last blank disciple token under his command already had the words 'Shushu' (黍薯) appearing on it.

Knowing that this was the name of his last disciple, he smiled knowingly, flicked his finger, and a streak of light flew toward the disciple's tablet, while the scene of Shushu offering tea and paying homage to his master appeared above it.

After observing Shushu's cultivation level, aptitude, and temperament through the light screen, he nodded in satisfaction. He was a good kid, and he would have to prepare a proper gift for this little disciple.

Otherwise, if his beloved disciple were to ascend to immortality in the future, and he couldn't offer a decent gift, wouldn't his disciple mistakenly think that he didn't like him? That would be absolutely unacceptable.

With that in mind, he quickly memorized the appearance of the millet and potatoes, and then hurriedly went out to search (rob) the treasure.

But he wasn't satisfied with just preparing for himself, so he also sent letters to his other three apprentices.

Make sure they prepare a gift for their junior sister; he will check it later, and they shouldn't accept anything that isn't good.

His three disciples already knew they would have a junior sister, so they weren't surprised to receive a message from their master. They quickly and efficiently prepared their things.

Shushu, who was still in the mortal realm, was unaware of everything that was happening in the immortal realm. After successfully becoming an apprentice, she was taken to the central control room of the secret realm by Immortal Venerable Luofeng. Through this room, Shushu saw Lu Li receiving the inheritance of the array.

Upon learning that this was his beloved disciple's senior brother, and that they would be traveling the continent together, Immortal Venerable Luofeng hummed unhappily a few times, but he didn't say anything in front of Shushu.

Even when Shushu pleaded with him to help look after Lu Li, he readily agreed.

Anyway, whether he takes care of him easily or strictly, it's still the same, right? He will definitely take good care of this guy, otherwise how will he protect his little apprentice when he's out in the future?

Shushu, who didn't understand his hidden meaning, was immediately relieved when he agreed. Without much hesitation, he devoted himself to receiving the inheritance.

As she entered meditation, the center of this secret realm fell silent once more. Apart from the presence of a few more people, nothing had changed, and the outside remained as bustling as ever.
