Su Xian who has been listening to them got flabbergasted. He felt refreshed that Zong Shen got someone who is going to become a headache in his life. He checked his storage ring to see if there is anything he could present him as a gift after he decided on what he should give he went to Zong Shen's study with a big smile blooming on his cold face.
Zhao Chengjun and Zong Shen were sitting side by side on the couch one is seriously contemplating with a brush in his hand and a scroll in the other while the table in front of them was spread with various books, the other is simply reading a book with one hand while eating melon seeds with other
Su Xian felt very contradicted at this sight he coughed twice to get their attention but they ignored him annoyed he grunted a little and coughed hard enough to get their attention, they both glanced at him at the same time and went back to their work.
Looking at their systematic response Su Xian wanted to beat them but controlled himself then he spoke loudly "so this your disciple huh?!"
Zhao Chengjun heard him clearly, he turned his head to Zong Shen who is immersed in his works but he could see that his master is refusing to answer he smiled wildly closing the book in his hands he stood up from the couch and brewed tea for his master and the guest separately then handing the tea to his master he asked in a childish voice irritating Zong Shen further
"Master, who is this old man?"
"You don't know him"
"How would I know?"
"didn't you work here before?"
"And I was seriously working with my head down. Aren't I diligent?"
"..." (-_-|) Zong Shen
Su Xian didn't stop smiling listening to this brat, he is now curious about what this brat would say next.
Zong Shen closed his eyes in frustration, he took a sip of tea and then paused sighing he said
"He is the commander and second in chief for the Authority Lu Man Man's army and the worlds under her command"
Zhao Chengjun handed the tea he brewed for Su Xian to him while greeting
"Master's disciple Zhao Chengjun greeting you, please take care of me in the future"
Zong Shen pursed his lips tightly at this brat's greeting, Su Xian laughed and nodded his head as he accepted the tea
"Why did you decide to become this brat's disciple?"
"To become strong like him"
"Which eye did you see this brat strong his pale face and smell of medicine on him is enough to show that he is weak"
"Well commander you are right my old man is certainly sick but never weak so please refrain from saying so"
Su Xian raised an eyebrow at Chengjun who is still smiling while answering him, he smirked evilly since there will be many opportunities in the future to test this brat who is now protective of his Master, then he turned to Zong Shen who is unfaced with their discussion he probed
"Since you got a disciple shouldn't we hold a celebration and let every know that you have a successor"
"No before that master we should go meet my in-laws"
Zhao Chengjun hurriedly stopped them
Su Xian spurted the tea and looked in disbelief at him, while Zong Shen paused for a moment in thinking "I think they won't accept you, even you are my disciple"
Zhao Chengjun frowned his eyebrows "why is that?"
"If just becoming my disciple is enough then there will be so many who will come to you, if you want to pursue that girl then become strong enough to protect her"
Zhao Chengjun nodded his head in serious "you have a point master I have to become strong also I should brush my presence to her very often to get her used to me"
Zong Shen nodded "En... You should since you said that girl is taller than you and pretty, she can find someone better than a scrawny looking fellow like you"
Zhao Chengjun closed his eyes tightly with a hand on his chest he looked like he got stabbed by his master words, Zong Shen's lips raised in a small smile well his disciple is still a young kid and the actions he is doing with his small frame were entertaining to him.
"Master, I decided we will hold the celebration banquet when I got my girl"
"As you wish"
Su Xian gaped at them he was listening to their conversation in utter disbelief "wait you brat you choose this stinky bastard as your master on the purpose to chase a girl"
"uh-huh" Replied Chengjun nonchalantly
"Are you both kidding me?"
Zhao Chengjun squinted his eyes in irritation he gazed at Su Xian for quite a while and then said loudly
"My Master is well versed in everything I want to learn from and didn't have a beloved yet, while me I have a beloved to chase and no power, so in this context, we master and disciple are in an absolute give and take culture"
Su Xian's jaw dropped slightly he gaped at Zhao Cheng Jun blankly, Chengjun narrowed his eyes when he didn't get any reaction from Su Xian he sighed as he said loudly
"What does a hundred years old bachelor like you know about the crux of chasing a beloved, even my master is a thousand-year-old tree who has yet to bloom he still has a chance with me as his disciple, you won't understand the pain of our youth"
