Great Master Wu Yin was so angry that his face turned black and he glared angrily at Bai Zhongtian. "I don’t believe that you have the ability to nurture such a disciple. Do you think that I’m unaware of your capabilities? Even if this girl had become your disciple from the beginning, she has now far surpassed you."
Bai Zhongtian agrees with the last part of that sentence. Gu Ruoyun’s achievements have indeed greatly surpassed him. However, that does not mean that he was willing to admit defeat in front of Great Master Wu Yin.
"Hehe," he sniggered in ridicule. "Regardless of the height of this little girl’s achievements, it does not change the fact that she is my disciple. The greater her abilities, the prouder I, her Master, will be. As for you... You can slowly enjoy your jealousy. You will never find another genius like her, not even in a hundred years."
No one else knows better than Bai Zhongtian of Gu Ruoyun’s greatness.
That was right, a young Martial Saint was not exactly rare in the First City. However, this was because the First City has abundant spiritual energy as well as countless geniuses and treasures to nurture them into growth. Gu Ruoyun, however, had walked step-by-step out of the West Spirit Mainland, the lowest of the low.
"Hmph."
Great Master Wu Yin scoffed icily, "Had I not arrived in the First City before you simply because my talent is greater than yours? If I had not left the mainland that year, do you think a genius like this would find you?"
"Your talents are indeed greater than mine but unfortunately, your luck is not as good." Bai Zhongtian looked absolutely complacent as he stared disdainfully at Great Master Wu Yin.
Great Master Wu Yin’s expression has turned ashen. He was sure that this fellow would anger him to death! He would rather not meet him again as he knew of the lengths of Bai Zhongtian’s shamelessness long ago!
"Little girl." Great Master Wu Yin turned to face Gu Ruoyun and said, "I rather admire your talent and I admit my defeat willingly. However, this does not mean that I will serve this old man. His powers are not as strong as mine and there’s no doubt about that. Only his luck was better than mine to be able to receive a disciple like you."
Gu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Great Master Wu Yin, you are very mistaken, I think I’m the lucky one. In the past, if it had not been for my Master, I might not have grown to this stage! Even though my powers have grown to this level, it is largely related to my acquaintance with him. However, more importantly, it is also because of his patronage during that year."
She admitted it, Bai Zhongtian’s abilities were not on par with Great Master Wu Yin’s but she would never allow anyone to underestimate him. Besides, everything she had just said was the truth. In her past life, if it had not been for her Master’s nurturing, she would never have reached this level!
Hence, regardless of how great she becomes in the future, she would never forget her Master’s labor.
Great Master Wu Yin no longer treated Bai Zhongtian with his initially disdainful scorn. Instead, an envious light now flashed in his eyes. He then lifted his eyes and turned towards the old man’s complacent face. In the end, he could only smile bitterly as he said, "Bai Zhongtian, you’ve won!"
When it comes to power, one brings nothing with them when they were born and one takes nothing with them when they die. So what if he has great power? In the end, he had not found an heir to carry on his legacy nor does he have such a loyal disciple like Gu Ruoyun! Most young people would be filled with hubris after they surpass their Master and would pay no more attention to their Master’s teachings.
However, he could see the respect and modesty in this little girl.
In this lifetime, Bai Zhongtian has surpassed him in the aspect where he had managed to find a disciple like her!
Regardless of how envious Great Master Wu Yin was feeling, he understood that certain destinies would never come back once they have passed. What does not belong to him will never be his.
