Become your disciple?

Gongsun Yun opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

His daughter was highly gifted, among the best of Fourth Grade talents, and it was true that cultivating on Tianxuan Mountain had buried her potential.

Gongsun Yun had previously thought about sending Gongsun Yue to further her cultivation at Tai Xuan Sect. Tianxuan Mountain was a branch of Tai Xuan Sect, and with three ancestors there, plus Gongsun Yue’s talent, there was a chance she could eventually reach the True Martial Realm if she received good training.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Yue was unwilling to leave and had always been stubborn. Even when Tianxuan Mountain faced great crisis, Gongsun Yue chose to stay. She had said, “Mother has long passed, and if father were gone too, what purpose would my life serve all alone in this world?”

After hearing this, Gongsun Yun didn’t try to persuade her further. He knew it was futile, but now that his daughter had finally considered this idea, he couldn’t be more pleased.

This senior had dealt a heavy blow to that mid-stage True Martial Realm Devil Powerhouse with just a few sword strikes. He was already a force to be reckoned with in the True Martial Realm. If his daughter became his disciple and received his dedicated guidance, the prospect of her advancing to the True Martial Realm was hopeful.

Moreover, it would also bring Tianxuan Mountain closer to this senior. Should Tianxuan Mountain face difficulties in the future, this senior surely couldn’t ignore them.

Though he thought this, Gongsun Yun still felt somewhat reluctant deep down; his daughter, the apple of his eye who had been by his side for decades, was about to be taken away. His emotions were complex.

The three ancestors exchanged glances but remained silent. It was a matter between Gongsun Yun and Gongsun Yue, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to interfere. However, they too hoped the senior would accept Gongsun Yue as his disciple, as it would provide a powerful assurance for Tianxuan Mountain.

“Become my disciple?” Han Li’s eyes flashed with surprise. This senior sister was indeed decisive.

With the strength he had shown, it would be a great opportunity for anyone at Tianxuan Mountain to become his disciple.

Although Gongsun Yue had high potential, even with proper guidance, her advance to the True Martial Realm was uncertain, and she might perish along the way.

The cultivation level Han Li had demonstrated, which was at least of a mid-stage True Martial Realm, and his unfathomable strength, placed him at the pinnacle throughout the entire Xuan Domain.

Gongsun Yue had the courage to seize the opportunity and declare her wish. Her determination was indeed extraordinary. Their relationship was currently amicable, making it the perfect time for her to ask to become his disciple.

Once Han Li left, it would become incredibly difficult for Gongsun Yue to request discipleship again, especially since advancing within the Tai Xuan Sect, it would be hard for her to be taken as a direct disciple by a True Martial Realm powerhouse, given her mere Fourth Grade talent.

Gongsun Yue nodded earnestly and spoke again, “Please, senior, accept me as your disciple.”

She knew this was an excellent chance. Though Tianxuan Mountain was now far from the major conflicts of Da Qian, having just arrived in the region controlled by Qitian Teaching, the stability was not yet solid.

If she became the disciple of this person, Tianxuan Mountain would be further connected to him, and they could ask for his help when needed.

Gongsun Yue also truly wanted to venture out. She had spent most of her life on Tianxuan Mountain and longed to see the outside world, hoping to travel Qianyuan Divine Province with this senior.

Although Qianyuan Divine Province was vast and boundless, it would take only a few months for a True Martial Realm powerhouse to cross it, and protecting her, a minor Gangyuan Realm cultivator, would be effortless.

Looking at the stunning beauty before him with purple hair and a purple dress, Han Li sighed inwardly. If not for the fact that he was Gongsun Yun’s disciple, he really would have wanted to take Gongsun Yue as his disciple—and to attempt a romance between master and disciple…

But alas, Gongsun Yue was his senior sister, and his true identity would surely be exposed eventually.

Han Li shook his head, sighing, “Five hundred years ago, I stopped taking on disciples.”

Gongsun Yue pursed her lips with a disappointed look on her pretty face, while Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors let out a silent sigh, sensing that this senior had no intention of further involvement with Tianxuan Mountain.

“However…” Han Li paused.

Gongsun Yue’s bright eyes shone with anticipation, and Gongsun Yun, along with the three ancestors, held their breath in hope. Could there be a twist in this tale?

Han Li continued, “I am in need of a maid. If you are willing, then follow me.”

In truth, what Han Li wanted to say was that he needed someone to warm his bed, but such a statement wouldn’t fit his current dignified demeanor, and would tarnish his esteemed image in the eyes of others.

Gongsun Yun shook his head slightly at Gongsun Yue, signaling her not to agree. Although this senior was a powerful Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, Gongsun Yun did not want his precious daughter to be wronged.

Gongsun Yue hesitated only slightly before accepting, “I am willing.”

The man seemed noble and upright; the chances that she would find herself in an unpleasant situation as a maid seemed unlikely.

Had the man harbored covetous thoughts about her, with his power, he could have taken her by force right then, and Tianxuan Mountain would be powerless to resist. Thus, Gongsun Yue saw no need for concern.

Gongsun Yun sighed inwardly, harboring an uneasy feeling as if his daughter might encounter some trouble on this path—a feeling he could not quite explain.

He, like Gongsun Yue, believed that since this senior had come to repay a debt after a thousand years, he must value loyalty and gratitude highly. If he had any untoward intentions, with his strength, Tianxuan Mountain could not resist.

Gongsun Yun thought he was probably overprotecting his daughter and suspecting the senior without cause.

Little did he know, this was exactly Han Li’s real intention.

If he were to take Gongsun Yue as his disciple and then marry her, he would ultimately face difficulty explaining himself to Gongsun Yun.

However, not taking her as his disciple while proceeding with that offer wouldn’t pose any issue, and Gongsun Yun would likely be very pleased, since he was regarded as Gongsun Yun’s final disciple, the heir.

Only, it was not a good time for him to reveal his identity. It would be better to wait until his power further increased before informing Gongsun Yun
