Chereads / The Legend of Astan's Queen / Chapter 18 - "Master.."

Chapter 18 - "Master.."

He Mei Ya entered the space and looks around only to find Little Gu fiddling with the medical herbs. He Mei Ya is entranced by the smooth movements of this old man. She suddenly realized that this serious image of his is better than his frivolous appearance.

Not willing to disturb him, He Mei Ya walked towards the pond and sat on the bench waiting for him to finish his work.

After sometime, Little Gu stands and stretches his small body. He turns around and finds this certain little girl reclining on the bench and enjoying the lotus fragrance while observing him.

The corners of his mouth twitched "Girl.. This is not a resort."

He Mei Ya did not flare up but instead gives him a brilliant smile " Little Gu, the issues at my home are settled for a while."

Looking at that bright smile, he could not help but ask "Good.. Why did you come here?"

He Mei Ya honestly replied " I want you to tell me how to cultivate. I will be cultivating here."

Little Gu pondered for a while and threw an old notebook towards her while instructing her "This is my personal notes. In this book there are detailed instructions on how to cultivate. If you have any problems you can ask me."

He Mei Ya catches the book with a complicated look in her eyes.

He Mei Ya does not understand why he is helping her unconditionally. According to He Jian, this old man is a legend. Just one word from her, and he gave her his own book. He treated her as one of his own.

He Mei Ya decides in her heart and calls out with a proud and loud voice with a faint smile.

"Master..."

Without giving him any time to react, He Mei Ya kowtows on the ground three times, formally acknowledging him as her master.

Old man Gu does not react for a while as he did not expect this situation. He is already bound to her due to her bracelet. She need not call him master at all and she can order him around as per her wish. But, still she called him master.

'Humans are indeed difficult to understand.' he sighs in his heart happily.

His lips slowly lifted into a faint arc. " I will happily take you in as my disciple. Now, get up."

He Mei Ya happily smiles " Master.. I will not let you down." On saying this He Mei Ya sprints towards the lotus lake and sits on the bench near it and opens the book.

Thus, a strong bond between a master and student is forged on this day. Their relationship became envy of many later on...
