Chapter 43: I Won’t Accept Anyone
"I said I won't take you as a student!" Zhang Xuan repeated firmly.
Who was he? A revered teacher across the Master Teacher Continent, with countless individuals aspiring to be his disciple. Although he was currently ordinary in the Source World, it didn't mean he would accept just anyone.
"Say that again if you dare!" Liu Mingyue's initial calmness vanished, and Zhang Xuan's firm rejection made her chest heave with anger. Her whole body felt as if it was about to explode.
She could accept not being taken in by the dean, who was the second strongest in White Roc City with unfathomable cultivation. But who was this guy? A mere servant with no cultivation, only recently made an auxiliary teacher at White Rock Academy. How dare he reject her? What right did he have?
If she wanted to be his student, shouldn't he be grateful and honored?
Seeing her aggressiveness, Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and stretched lazily. "I dare say it again—I won't take you as my disciple! Stop dreaming!"
Liu Mingyue's teeth were about to shatter from clenching. "Dreaming...?"
How could this servant have the nerve to say that?
She was a famous beauty in White Roc City, a historically renowned genius, and the legitimate daughter of the Liu family head. Any of these identities would attract countless followers. For him to refuse her as a disciple—three times no less!Fuming with anger, Liu Mingyue was livid. "Fine! Today, I won't ask anyone else. I insist on becoming your disciple. Whether you agree or not, you will have to!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Keep dreaming!"
Trembling with rage, Liu Mingyue felt her vision darken.
As the little princess of the Liu family, she had always been pampered. Though not all her wishes were granted, most were. Today, being humiliated by Yu Xiaoyu and wanting to become a groom's disciple was already infuriating. Yet, not only was she refused, but he also told her she was dreaming...
The intense anger surged to her brain, making her feel like she was about to explode.
"This guy... is fierce!"
"To humiliate Miss Liu like that, how does he dare?"
"I don't get it..."
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at the young man with admiration. Miss Yu's suggestion of apprenticing was meant to tease Liu Mingyue. If he had just ignored it, the matter would have passed. Instead, he refused three times and even told her she was dreaming...
It was clear that this guy was bound to suffer.
"I'll kill you..."
The crowd's discussion became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Liu Mingyue shouted angrily and took big steps toward Zhang Xuan.
Seeing her so furious, Zhang Xuan frowned with displeasure. "Even if you kill me, I won't take you as my disciple."
‘What kind of person is he?’
‘Apprenticeship involves showing respect and following formalities, yet she wanted to kill him just because he refused... How rude!’
If this were on the Master Teacher Continent, she would be expelled and never accepted again.
"Ahhh..."
Unable to hold back any longer, Liu Mingyue was about to rush forward and teach this arrogant guy a lesson when Yu Xiaoyu stepped in front of her.
The City Lord's daughter also looked awkward.
She had only meant to tease Zhang Xuan about taking Liu Mingyue as a disciple, never expecting it to cause such a commotion...
Holding back the furious Liu Mingyue, Yu Xiaoyu quickly said, "Mingyue, I was just joking earlier. It wasn't intentional. If Zhang Xuan won't take you, Vice Principle Wu, Elder Ran or Elder Wu will do. There's no need for this..."
"Get out of my way..." Liu Mingyue continued to push forward, raising her hands.
"Are you going to hit me?" Yu Xiaoyu swiftly neutralized her force.
Though she had just activated the Source Pool, as the City Lord's daughter, she had trained in many martial arts techniques. Ordinary men couldn't get close to her, which was why she had a reputation as a genius.
"Enough!"
Seeing that they were about to fight, Mo Yanxue stepped in between them. "Mingyue, Xiaoyu really didn't mean it. I apologize on her behalf! As for a teacher, it's best to choose one that suits you. With so many great teachers in the academy... anyone would gladly accept you with your talent."
Liu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, "Are you all planning to gang up on me?"
Mo Yanxue shook her head and smiled slightly, "We are all classmates; how could we bully you? We're just helping you find a suitable teacher! I heard you like palm techniques, and you've already achieved minor success with the Liu family's 'Fluttering Butterfly Palm' in less than a year... In that case, you can apprentice under Vice Principle. His 'Flowing Wave Palm' is very famous in White Roc City."
"This..." Liu Mingyue hesitated.
Although Wu Yunzhou's strength was not as high as Dean Lu Mingrong's, the difference was not significant. Apprenticing under him might indeed be more suitable. The reason she wanted to apprentice under Lu Mingrong was simply that the two in front of her had succeeded. Why couldn't she?
It was infuriating.
"Don't hesitate!" Seeing her waver, Mo Yanxue quickly looked over to Wu Yunzhou not far away and gave a sweet smile, "Vice Principle Wu, Miss Liu has absorbed 24 streams of Source Energy and reached the Fifth Grade Source Pool. Could she apprentice under you?"
"Well..." Wu Yunzhou glanced at Dean Lu Mingrong and then at Zhang Xuan, feeling conflicted.
This girl thought Zhang Xuan was just a groom and not worth mentioning. However, he knew that Zhang Xuan was an extraordinary genius with limitless future potential as long as he didn't fall.
Not accepting such a person might offend him.
The martial world isn't just about fighting; it's about relationships.
"Vice Principle Wu?" Mo Yanxue asked again, confused by his hesitation.
"Oh!" Suddenly, Wu Yunzhou understood and waved his hand repeatedly, "Sorry, if Teacher Zhang Xuan doesn't accept you, neither will I!"
Yes, it's best to be on good terms first!
After speaking, he smiled warmly at Zhang Xuan in the distance.
"???" Mo Yanxue was stunned.
‘What does he mean by if Zhang Xuan doesn't accept, he won't either?’
‘Liu Mingyue is a genius!’
‘Since when do we need to consider a groom's opinion?’
"Dean Wu..." Liu Mingyue felt even more humiliated.
The third-ranked genius in White Roc City had been rejected five times in a row...
"Don't worry, Mingyue. Vice Principle Wu might have his reasons. How about Elder Ran? He's the Great Elder of White Rock Academy, having reached the Jade Bone Realm with immense power. Being his disciple is just as good!"
Mo Yanxue continued to comfort her. However, before she could finish speaking, they saw Ran Qingxu not far away waving his hands repeatedly. "I respect Teacher Zhang Xuan's opinion. I won't accept her either..."
‘Are you kidding? I don't want to offend him either!’
