Chapter 408: Chapter 408, Tianci Becomes a Disciple
Yun Jinnian was overtly talking things over with Han Tianci, but in actuality, she was also testing the waters.
She wanted to know, to what extent the Moon-Watching Sect could tolerate her capriciousness!
Han Tianci nodded, looking toward the five great elders and the Law Honored One, "Is that alright?"
"Of course, it is! Everything at the Moon-Watching Sect belongs to the Saintess, naturally the Saintess can deal with them as she pleases!" the Law Honored One said with a smile.
Originally, Yun Jinnian was to stay in the valley for a while, but she was worried about Prince Yanjun’s illness, so she picked two Blood Lotus plants intending to return to the Moon-Watching Sect.
After a moment of thought, the Law Honored One said, "The old man hasn’t gone out for many years; I’ll accompany her."
Yun Jinnian was astonished.
The five great elders were immediately overjoyed.
The Law Honored One added, "With the Blood Lotus, how can we not include the Thousand-Year Ginseng and Lingzhi!"
"..."
Yun Jinnian was astonished.
"Would the Saintess like to see the Ginseng and Lingzhi that the old man transplanted from elsewhere?"
"..."
Han Tianci hurriedly said, "Sister, let’s go, I want to see it too!"
Yun Jinnian smiled, "Then let’s go!"
Upon hearing this, the Law Honored One was about to step forward and carry Yun Jinnian, but she quickly refused, "Don’t, let Brother Chu carry me instead!"
"..."
The Law Honored One hesitated.
This Chu Yu was an outsider. Was it really okay for him to know so many secrets of the Moon-Watching Sect?
"I trust Brother Chu won’t talk nonsense!" Yun Jinnian asserted, vouching for Chu Yu.
For some reason, she was just so undoubtingly trusting.
Chu Yu smiled.
With bright sunshine and clear skies, he was gracefully charming.
"Then let’s go!" said the Law Honored One.
Since everything in Nanjiang was said to belong to the Saintess, from this moment on, let’s follow the Saintess’s lead in all matters!
Chu Yu stepped forward and lifted Yun Jinnian in a princess carry.
Yun Jinnian reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, the two of them very close, both could feel each other’s breath.
Yun Jinnian looked down and blushed.
But she noticed that Chu Yu’s ears were thoroughly red, and she couldn’t help but sneak a smile.
The Law Honored One reached out to Han Tianci, "Young master, is it fine if the old man holds your hand?"
"Sure!" Han Tianci said, placing his hand into the Law Honored One’s aged one.
They walked ahead.
Chu Yu, carrying Yun Jinnian, followed behind, with the five great elders bringing up the rear.
"Grandfather Law Honored One, how old are you?" Han Tianci asked with youthful curiosity.
"Why don’t you guess, young master!"
Han Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then thought seriously, "You seem older than my maternal grandfather, are you eighty yet?"
The Law Honored One laughed, "More than eighty, indeed!"
"Ninety?"
"Even more!"
"A hundred years old? Wow, really a hundred years old?"
"Still not quite!" the Law Honored One said, trying to seriously remember how old he was, but he indeed was an old but undying one.
Patting Han Tianci’s head, "Would the young master like to learn Martial Arts with the old man?"
"Is that possible?"
"Of course, it is!"
Han Tianci hesitated slightly, "But I need to return to the Capital City, my mother and grandfather are waiting for my sister and me to come home!"
"They say ’where you marry, you follow’; if the master follows the disciple, that’s also acceptable!" the Law Honored One said with a laugh.
Although he could no longer open altars or perform rituals, teaching a child was still within his abilities...
"Tianci, quickly kowtow to the Law Honored One!" Yun Jinnian urged.
First, pay respects with a kowtow; the formal apprenticeship can be sealed with a tea ceremony upon return.
Although the Law Honored One was of great age, he was certainly capable, or else he would not have lived so long.
Han Tianci, who greatly heeded Yun Jinnian’s words, quickly wriggled free of his hand and knelt before the Law Honored One, "Master above, please receive your disciple’s bow!"
Watching this, the Law Honored One’s eyes reddened instantaneously.
Unexpectedly, in his old age, not only did he wait for the arrival of the Saintess, but he also gained a little disciple.
Good, very good!!
