Chapter 46: Becoming an Apprentice
The Seventh Elder didn't hesitate for long before agreeing immediately: "I grant your request."
Everyone was so shocked their jaws nearly dropped to the floor—no, the Seventh Elder actually agreed to such an outrageous request?!
Li Yuan nodded and immediately performed the disciple-acceptance ceremony to the Seventh Elder: "Disciple greets Master."
A boy of about ten years old performing the apprenticeship ceremony to a girl of about ten years old—how... bizarre is this scene?
Jiang Bai, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and his mouth twitched wildly.
His master is second only to the emperor and has already reached the highest level of cultivation. If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, he wouldn't have recognized this elder of the human academy as his master!
Jiang Bai pouted, glanced at Ye Fei sitting in her seat, and sighed deeply.
Alas! Your Majesty!
Your status is so noble, why should you humble yourself to this extent for a mere human girl?
The Seventh Elder patted Li Yuan on the shoulder: "Alright, I don't like these formalities."
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring any good treasures with me. I'll give you this Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill as a gift for now. I'll give you a better gift later."
As the Seventh Elder spoke, he took out a pill from a crimson jade bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it into Li Yuan's hand.
Li Yuan never knew the meaning of politeness, and naturally accepted the fifth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill: "Thank you, Master."
"Heavens! It's actually a Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill!"
"Damn it, I'm so jealous! Why am I not a dark spiritual root? Waaaaah..."
"A Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill... The Seventh Elder calls this not a good treasure?!"
"This guy really got incredibly lucky! If he weren't a dark elementalist, the Seventh Elder probably wouldn't even give him a second glance!"
The surrounding chatter was filled with sour grapes. Li Yuan leaped off the arena, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and strode quickly toward Ye Fei.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he tossed the Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill to Ye Fei: "Here you go, keep it safe."
Ye Fei: "..."
The students: ???
The gift the Seventh Elder gave him, he just turned around and threw it to Ye Fei?!
Ye Fei also felt this was somewhat unreasonable, and handed the pill back: "Why would the Seventh Elder give me the gift he gave you as a disciple? I don't want it."
"Keep it safe."
Li Yuan repeated it in a calm yet defiant tone.
Ye Fei was speechless for a moment. The gazes gathering from all directions made her very uncomfortable, and she had no choice but to put the pills away.
The Seventh Elder, back on the Four Beast Candlelight Platform, curled his lips. He would rather give the pill to Ye Fei than take it himself.
Look, isn't this kid secretly in love with Ye Fei?
You're kidding me!
...
Su Haochen pursed his lips, completely unaware of how terrible his expression was.
Seeing this, Feng Ruyue, who was standing beside him, rested her folding fan on her chin and curled her lips with amusement: "Seeing your fiancée, whom you despise to the extreme, being treated so well by someone else, makes you unhappy?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Su Haochen immediately retorted, "She's not my fiancée! Our verbal engagement has long been..."
"Oh right, right, right, I forgot that your true love is the fifth young lady of the Ye family, Ye Ning." Feng Ruyue glanced at him and smiled in a very frivolous way: "I heard that the Ye family head is preparing to arrange a marriage between you two. Congratulations, Young Master Su!"
The Su family's status is no longer as prestigious as it once was.
By being able to associate with the Ye Clan, one of the eight great families, Su Haochen can be said to have disgraced the Su family.
