Chapter 450 - The Little Old Man’s Identity (3)
Chapter 450: The Little Old Man’s Identity (3)
“Master!” Zheng En looked at the little old man, a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect his master to be His Excellency Du Min. In this way, wouldn’t the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters be his senior brother? Then Sun Wei… Alas! This relationship is really messy!
“Master!” Ren Li called out excitedly when he saw his master. He hadn’t seen his master for many years, but his master actually ignored him. Why was that? Boohoo…
“Hmph! He’s your junior brother, Master’s new disciple,” the little old man introduced simply. In fact, he came to Blue Cloud City with two main objectives. One was to exchange herbs, and the other was to inspect the Lan family’s fifth young lady. However, he had already completed these two objectives.
“Hello, Junior Brother,” Ren Li said politely.
“Uh! S-Senior Brother!” Zheng En stammered. He was still a little unaccustomed to the change in identity because it was really too sudden for him!
“Master, let me introduce him to you. He is your grand-disciple, Sun Wei!” Ren Li pulled over the dazed Sun Wei and introduced him.
“Oh!” The little old man didn’t even raise his eyelids and just responded indifferently. Hmph! Those who dare to bully my disciple aren’t qualified to be acknowledged by me.
“Unfilial disciple, quickly address him!” Ren Li patted Sun Wei’s head and urged him with some displeasure. At the same time, he couldn’t help muttering in his heart, This disciple of mine is usually quite smart. What’s going on today?
“There’s no need. I can’t bear it,” the little old man said coldly.
“Master!” Ren Li was a little puzzled. Master seems to be very displeased with my disciple! Is it because of this little girl? Junior Brother is with them, so it appears Master should also know this girl.
“Master, although Sun Wei has a feud with them, I believe that this is definitely a misunderstanding,” Ren Li tried to smooth things over.
“Is that so?” The little old man raised his eyelids slightly.
“Lass, it’s just a misunderstanding between you two, right?!” Ren Li gave Leng Ruoxue a meaningful look.
Leng Ruoxue pretended not to see and said without giving him face, “I don’t know. You have to ask your disciple!”
Seeing that Leng Ruoxue was unwilling to cooperate, Ren Li could only scold his disciple. “Sinful disciple, tell me. Is this a misunderstanding!”
“Master, they are not qualified to participate in the exchange at all. Moreover, do you remember who this Zheng En is? Grandmaster is being deceived by him!” After regaining his scenes, Sun Wei roared with raging jealousy! Why could Zheng En have such good luck? Fifteen years ago, Zheng En was only a loser under him. But fifteen years later, this damn Zheng En actually became his Uncle-Master. How could he accept this! He was so jealous!
“Unfilial disciple, do you know what you’re saying?” Ren Li roared with some displeasure and stole a timid glance at his master, only to find that his master’s expression was very ugly. His heart skipped a beat and turned half cold!
“Master, he is Zheng En. Zheng En! Don’t you remember that you expelled Zheng En from the Alchemist Association Headquarters fifteen years ago?” Sun Wei reminded.
“Uh!” With Sun Wei’s reminder, he really remembered that he had expelled an alchemist from the headquarters fifteen years ago. But is that person really the same person as my junior brother in front of me? Is Master being deceived?
“Master, he…” Ren Li looked at the little old man, not knowing what to say.
“I know who he is. In addition, I have to tell you that he is now my disciple, your junior brother!” the little old man said very seriously.
“Yes, Master.” Since his master said so, he naturally couldn’t say anything as his disciple! Moreover, his master had always been stubborn. There was no way he could change his mind!
“Grandmaster, you can’t accept this person as your disciple. He’s not worthy at all. He’s a sinner of our alchemy world!” Sun Wei was so jealous that he was about to go crazy. He didn’t give up and persuaded him with a face full of respect.
“Sun Wei, right?! Do I need your permission to accept a disciple? Moreover, I don’t acknowledge that you are my grand-disciple, so don’t act so friendly!” the little old man said disdainfully. Hmph! I met Sun Wei yesterday, so why didn’t he treat me respectfully then? He changed his attitude after knowing my identity today!
“Grandmaster!” Sun Wei was a little dumbfounded. Why is he protecting Zheng En even though he knows his identity?
“I said don’t call me Grandmaster.” The little old man didn’t intend to acknowledge Sun Wei’s identity at all.
“Grandmaster, I’m doing this for your own good! If outsiders know about what happened regarding Zheng En back then, it will affect your reputation.” Sun Wei still acted the same as before, calling out shamelessly and even having an expression that said ‘I’m doing this for Grandmaster’s good’!
“I believe the truth of what happened back then will come to light one day. But what I want to tell you is that Zheng En is my disciple. If any of you dare to look down on him, then don’t stay in the Alchemist Association,” the little old man shouted at everyone present with a glare. He didn’t care if these people knew what had happened back then, but whether they did or not, he wouldn’t allow these people to look at his disciple with different eyes!
After this, everyone present hurriedly nodded. Alas! No one dared to disobey him! He was a god-like figure in the hearts of all alchemists!
“Master!” Zheng En was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes, and he was so excited that he could barely speak!
“Silly boy, how can I be at ease if you’re so easily bullied!” the little old man said helplessly.
Zheng En lowered his head and said guiltily, “Master, I’m too useless.”
“You are very useless, but you are lucky.” The little old man gently patted Zheng En’s head and scolded him with a smile.
“Yes.” Zheng En nodded.
“Your Excellency Du Min, I’ve heard a lot about you!” the Lan family’s first elder said when he saw that the matter was almost resolved.
The little old man narrowed his eyes and questioned with some displeasure, “Lan family brat, are you here to chase my disciple and the others out?”
“Of course not. I’m just here to understand the situation,” the first elder said tactfully. In this situation, how foolish would he be if he still had to consider which side to stand on!
