Dongfang Jue was taken aback. She wasn't sure if Su Cheng understood what she meant, but she still nodded obediently.
If that's not important, then what is?
“I have been living in seclusion for a long time and originally had no intention of taking on a disciple. However, Qinghan cut off his own way out and knelt on Mount Ling for a whole day, putting everything on my shoulders. I looked at his fate and couldn’t bear it, so I took him in.”
"As for Shiyao, she is simple-minded but has a pitiful background. I observed her actions and found that she is not a heartless person. So I took her in and protected her from disaster."
Dongfang Jue nodded thoughtfully. If it were someone else, she might not have believed it.
But just as we observe his words and actions, Su Cheng's actions have already proven his words.
"The reason I rejected your offer to become my disciple was not because you were not sincere, nor because I feared you had ulterior motives. To me, those are all external things."
"Then why did Sect Leader Su refuse Jue'er?"
Su Cheng watched as Dongfang Jue gently rubbed her high ponytail, her gaze filled with tenderness...
At this moment, Dongfang Jue seemed to understand why Ye Qinghan liked being patted on the head by his master so much.
That wasn't just a caress; it was her master's reward and doting affection, a sign of his respect and care.
That gaze seemed to pierce through you, making it impossible to refuse.
"Because joining the Lingxian Palace may not be a good thing for Yu Jue'er."
"Jue'er cares deeply for the common people, which is a blessing for them. Even if she doesn't join the Lingxian Palace, she will still have a good ending."
Dongfang Jue never expected it to be like this!
What kind of bullshit logic is this?
To be honest, even if Su Cheng told her that she wasn't in good shape and therefore wouldn't accept her!
She can accept this outcome!
But Su Cheng told her that she was rejected because she wasn't pitiful enough.
Poor Ye Qinghan was all alone and helpless, so he accepted it!
It's a pity that Li Shiyao's fate is full of misfortunes, so I accepted it!
Is it because she's too happy that it's not acceptable?
"Jue'er's expression tells me she's overthinking things again!"
"Uh... Jue'er..." Dongfang Jue's heart trembled. It was as if she was sitting opposite this man. She would always be a child. Her childlike thoughts could not be hidden from Su Cheng's eyes.
"Take Qinghan as an example. I know her fate and want to forcibly change it. That would be going against the will of Heaven. To put it bluntly, it's a gamble."
"But Qinghan was all alone, and I was her only support. Even if the ending was not as expected, I wanted to live up to her unwavering trust."
"As for Shi Yao, there's no need to say more. Apart from Qing Han and me, who would care about a little fool? Calling her a saintess is nothing more than a puppet whose fate has already been bound."
"Rather than a predetermined fate, I want to try to rewrite their ending. Even if I can't, as their teacher, I will face it with them."
Suzhou was calm and collected, as if they were talking about something insignificant.
He then looked at Dongfang Jue again: "But Jue'er is different. Jue'er could have had a better ending, so why take the risk?"
At this moment, it was as if a word had awakened her from a dream. She had also wondered why Ye Qinghan was so devoted to Su Cheng. Perhaps it was because of Su Cheng's magic treasures, or perhaps it was because of the teachings of those immortal techniques and supernatural powers.
But at this moment, she understood that for Ye Qinghan, the word "master" represented something that could no longer be expressed by the bond between master and disciple.
"The advantages and disadvantages have all been explained. It's not that Jue'er isn't good enough, but that Jue'er can have better choices, isn't that right?"
But at this moment, she also understood!
She wants this man!
She wanted to become this man's disciple!
"Sect Leader Su, I apologize for my immaturity back then, but at this moment I truly wish to become your disciple."
"A better future may not be the future that Jue'er wants."
"Now that Jue'er has become a disciple, she has no regrets. I hope Headmaster Su will accept Jue'er as his disciple."
If Dongfang Jue were to open the system panel at this moment, she would see that Su Cheng's favorability rating had reached 79.4%, but she no longer wanted to do so.
Even if she obtained her position as a direct disciple through underhanded means, she would still feel inferior to her two senior sisters.
The subtle changes in Su Cheng's expression and the surge in his favorability were all due to that sentence, a truth that Su Cheng had only come to understand after living several lifetimes.
A better future may not necessarily be the future she desires, but rather the future they all want.
Su Cheng looked at Dongfang Jue with a smile, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. Su Cheng knew that saying anything more would be meaningless.
"Hehe, in that case, I can accept Jue'er."
Dongfang Jue was a little flattered; she thought she would have to promise something else, like that she would always respect her teacher and cultivate diligently...
However, this also aligns with what Ye Qinghan said; Sect Leader Su didn't care about these things.
"Thank you, Master!"
Su Cheng smiled to himself, thinking to himself that this guy changed his mind pretty quickly!
"I walk alone in this world, without children. I have no other requirements for becoming a disciple, I only hope that my disciple can be safe and happy."
Dongfang Jue understood Su Cheng's meaning; it was simply a reminder that sisters should love and cherish each other.
It's no secret that her relationship with Ye Qinghan has always been like that.
"Master, rest assured, it was Jue'er who was wrong back then, not Qinghan's fault."
It wasn't a lie; Dongfang Jue genuinely felt that way at that moment.
All Ye Qinghan has left is the Lingxian Palace and her master. How could she possibly agree to let someone with ulterior motives approach her master?
Who could agree to that?
"Hehe, Qinghan is not a bad child, and Jue'er has done nothing wrong either. I believe Jue'er knows what to do."
