"Why is that, senior?"
Lu Chen felt that his life was hanging by a thread, and that his opponent could kill him with a flick of his wrist.
Although it was known that the possibility was extremely small, this was, after all, the Xuanwu Academy.
So Lu Chen still pretended to be nervous, after all, he had to cooperate with the other party in acting.
To everyone's surprise, the woman remained indifferent and said, "Did I ask you to speak?"
Such an arrogant tone left Lu Chen speechless.
As a result, the woman narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled, displaying a rather unpredictable mood.
"Do you think you're safe because you know I won't kill you?"
No! I don't know.
Lu Chen pretended to know nothing.
The woman's eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea struck her. A smile appeared on her face as she said, "That's right, I won't kill you, but that depends on the situation."
"Now I'm giving you a choice: either become my disciple or die. Which do you choose?"
The woman spoke with absolute authority and in a very forceful tone. She also increased the pressure on his neck, threatening to snap it if Lu Chen dared to say no.
Lu Chen looked helpless and said, "Since you've said that, what else can I say? Right, Master?"
"This child is teachable."
Upon hearing the last two words, the woman beamed with joy and immediately let go.
Lu Chen then regained control of his body, secretly feeling a sense of lingering fear. This woman was truly terrifying, ruthless, and unpredictable. If he were to accidentally provoke her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If I were to really die at the hands of this woman, I would have no one to blame but myself.
"Then let's become disciples."
The woman waved her hand and actually took out a jade-carved chair, sat down on it, and looked at Lu Chen with a half-smile.
How do I become an apprentice?
Lu Chen felt helpless. Although he was very unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He was simply outmatched in skill.
"Of course, we should kneel down and kowtow, and serve tea to our master."
The woman rolled her eyes and lectured her in an annoyed tone.
"Then kill me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly had a thought. Perhaps his behavior was too abnormal, which had attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Xuanwu Academy. This woman probably didn't come to take on disciples legitimately at all, but rather had some wicked scheme in mind.
Lu Chen concluded that, based on the talent he had displayed, he was not afraid of what the other party would do to him. The claim that he would be killed if he did not become the disciple was probably just a threat.
A genius like him would be treasured by every sect, so why would they kill him so easily?
Sure enough, the woman's expression changed upon hearing this.
You think I wouldn't dare?
In that instant, Lu Chen felt himself unable to move again. Clearly, his opponent had once again taken control of the space around him, making it impossible for him to resist.
But since things had come to this point, Lu Chen was too lazy to be polite with this woman anymore, and said, "Then kill me! Anyway, I can't beat you, so I might as well let you do as you please and give me a quick death."
Lu Chen simply closed his eyes, acting as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
When he opened his eyes, he was startled.
The woman moved closer to him, her exquisite face so stunning that Lu Chen was momentarily stunned, almost speechless.
"What you said has reminded me. You want me to give you a quick death? Well, I'll make sure you don't. If you don't become my disciple, I'll find you a few demon beasts to be your wives. I have a particularly effective pill that even demon beasts can't handle. I'll let you experience it for yourself. What do you think?"
What the woman said shattered Lu Chen's worldview.
How could such a degenerate be produced in the prestigious Xuanwu Academy? It's utterly outrageous!
However, the thought that this woman might actually do such a thing, and that he had no way to resist, made Lu Chen realize that he might really have no choice but to submit.
There was no other way; Lu Chen felt that even if he hid inside the Demon Suppression Tower, he would still be discovered.
This is, after all, the Xuanwu Academy. Although the Demon-Suppressing Tower was inherited from the once-powerful Dragon Emperor, once this trump card is exposed, even the Demon-Suppressing Tower might be taken away.
Lu Chen didn't think that the Xuanwu Academy would be able to do anything about his Demon-Suppressing Tower. Even if the Xuanwu Academy couldn't handle it, once he reached the headquarters, the Zhenwu Academy, there would definitely be experts who could deal with him.
Since I'm going to take on a master anyway, it doesn't really matter which master I choose.
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Alright! I agree."
Having no other choice, Lu Chen knelt down and kowtowed several times. Then he took out a pot of wine from his spatial ring and said, "We're out of tea. Can we use wine instead?"
He thought to himself, "I'll have to find a way to make her kneel back later, hmph!"
Upon seeing the wine, the woman's eyes lit up, and she couldn't resist the temptation. She immediately snatched the pot of wine and took two gulps without saying a word.
"Not bad, not bad! My good disciple, you do have filial piety."
The woman put the entire jug of wine away, glanced at Lu Chen, and felt increasingly satisfied. Of course, most importantly, she was extremely proud of the idea she had suddenly come up with on the spur of the moment.
"Those stupid senior brothers are still arguing over it. Don't they know it's more important to act sooner? I've already taken on disciples, who can compete with me now? In these kinds of things, you have to strike first."
