Audrey looked at Asuro in a daze. Her mouth was agape, and she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
With her limited social experience, she had never expected that Asuro's true purpose of taking her as a disciple was to use her to take Hughes as a disciple.
"Master, there's actually no need for you to act like this."
"My brother is a very understanding person. If you tell him, he will definitely agree to it."
Asuro shook her head with a bitter smile and sighed.
"Sigh, didn't I get rejected by your brother once? If he rejects me again this time, I will lose face."
Asuro pointed at her nose and said slowly.
"I'm still a Level-8 Saint Magister after all. Have you ever seen a saint magister keep asking someone to be her disciple after being rejected?"
Audrey thought for a moment before nodding.
Her father was also a level-8 Saint Magister. Norton had always kept a cold expression except to his children.
"Alright, teacher, I promise you."
Audrey said helplessly.
"Really?"Asuro looked at Audrey with joy. Her eyes were filled with the joy of a successful scheme.
"Then, I'm really grateful to you. Hahaha..."
Looking at the unconcealed excitement on Asuro's face, Audrey felt a sense of annoyance for no reason.
"Aiya, since teacher doesn't really want to take me in as a disciple, I'll leave myself after completing your mission."
Just as she said this, Audrey made a step and was about to leave.
However, before she could take a few steps, she was pulled back by Asuro, who was quick with her hands and eyes.
Although Asuro wasn't an experienced social person, she could understand Audrey's feelings at this moment.
After all, no one wanted to be treated as a tool and thrown away after being used.
Furthermore, Audrey's talent wasn't bad to begin with. She was a genius girl who suited the anti-magic stone cultivation method.
Although she was incomparable to Hughes, she was still better than all the young people Asuro had seen over the years.
Asuro, who especially liked taking in disciples and being a teacher, especially enjoyed the feeling of teaching a genius mage. How could she give up on a good seedling for cultivation like Audrey.
"There's no way you can leave. You're already my disciple now. You're not allowed to go anywhere without my permission."
Asuro forcefully pulled Audrey into her arms and spoke fiercely.
"You're already mine. If you want to leave, you have to defeat me first."
As she spoke, Asuro reached out and pinched Audrey's delicate face.
"Little girl, your face is fair and tender. It won't look good if it's messed up."
Audrey looked at Asuro in a daze. She felt a sense of intimacy that she had never felt before.
It was clearly a very serious threat, but when Audrey heard it, it sounded like a joke between friends. She felt no fear at all.
"It's your fault for using me as a tool, HMPH!"
The moment she said that, Audrey blushed in embarrassment.
She didn't know why she said something like that. She just naturally expressed her feelings.
"I didn't!"
Asuro raised her hand and pinched Audrey's face gently, trying to put on a serious look as if she was a teacher.
"Indeed, I want to take your brother as my disciple. I came over to you guys today because I sensed your brother's spiritual power."
"But I also sincerely want to take you as my disciple. In all these years, I have never seen such a powerful magic talent in a girl."
Asuro looked at Audrey with a serious expression, and her aura became as cold and fierce as before.
"I never lie. If you don't have magic talent, I wouldn't take you in as my disciple even if you had ten brothers like Hughes."
With that, Asuro stretched out her index finger and gently tapped Audrey's glabella.
Then, she stretched out her other hand and placed her index finger between her own glabella.
"Come, I'll let you feel my true feelings."
Invisible spiritual waves spread out in all directions, and Audrey's spiritual world instantly connected with Asuro's.
After fifteen minutes, Audrey came back to her senses in a daze.
From Asuro's spiritual power, Audrey could clearly sense that this seemingly indecent teacher had an genuine love for her.
It was the kind of love teachers had for a gifted student. It was pure and selfless.
For a moment, Audrey was so touched that she couldn't speak.
At this moment, Asuro, who had finally become serious, suddenly became indecent again.
"Since you've understood my intentions, let's talk about tricking your brother into coming to my anti-magic Research Institute."
Audrey looked at Asuro in surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. As expected, she hadn't escaped the fate of being a too.
"My dear disciple, don't dwell on those details."
Asuro patted Audrey's shoulder carelessly, blinking his eyes and bewitching her.
"Think about it. If your brother takes me as his master and enters my research institute, won't you be able to see your brother everyday?"
"Furthermore, you will have started learning from me before your brother. According to seniority, he would have to call you senior martial sister."
Audrey's eyes lit up. She could imagine her second brother calling her senior martial sister with an embarrassed look.
"Hahahahahaha, that seems to be the case."
Seeing Audrey's excited look, Asuro also laughed.
Through Audrey's expression, she understood that this little girl had successfully fallen into her trap.
"I checked your brother's soul power just now. With his current cultivation and knowledge, it's all too easy for him to pass the Hiro Empire's Royal Academy's examination."
Asuro's gaze suddenly turned sharp when she said this.
"The only thing I'm afraid of is that after your brother's talent is revealed, those people in the Anti Magic Research Institute will snatch my disciple away from me."
"Those old geezers are all so shameless. After all these years, I've finally found a talented disciple. I absolutely will not let them snatch him away for me."
Asuro gritted her teeth, as if she had recalled some painful past.
"When the time comes, I'll need you to make a move. Once Hughes passes the examination of the Hiro Empire's Royal Academy, you'll need to bring your brother to my research lab before those old geezers."
Asuro clenched her fist tightly and said with determination.
"If your brother enters my research lab, then he won't be able to escape being my disciple. When the time comes, you'll be able to study magic with your brother everyday."
Audrey nodded like a chick pecking on rice, then stretched out her palm struck it with Asuro's.
At this moment, she had already begun to fantasize about the days when she could study magic with her brother.
