1799 I’m Not Going
Stunned, Chu Liuyue put down the tea she had just brought to her lips. I didn’t expect Mentor to take a fancy to Little Thirteen.
Her mentor was famous for being picky. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been the only disciple he had taken in all these years.
Being able to catch his eye was enough to prove that Little Thirteen was indeed outstanding.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment but did not agree immediately. “Mentor, why did you suddenly think of this? Have you checked Little Thirteen’s aptitude?”
Nan Suhuai shook his head. “No. It’s just that over the past few days, this child has been running all over the mountains. I think he’s not old, and his realm is only that of a stage-six warrior, but his speed is already comparable to a stage-nine warrior… Thinking about it, this child should have good muscles and bones. Originally, I did want to call him over to take a look, but he’s your man after all, so I wanted to ask you first.”
!!
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly. “It’s Thirteen’s blessing to be favored by Mentor. If he can really enter the academy to cultivate, it’ll be a rare good thing for him. Wait a moment; I’ll call him over.”
She stood up and was about to call for him when she suddenly thought of something and asked, “If Thirteen’s conditions are good, do you plan to take him in as your disciple personally?”
But Nan Suhuai shook his head. “That won’t happen. It’s fine as long as I have you as my disciple. Moreover, if he’s really as I think, there’s someone more suitable to be his mentor in the academy.”
Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding.
“Thirteen!” she raised her voice slightly and shouted into the distance.
Nan Suhuai was a little surprised. “That child seems to be halfway up the mountain now. He can hear us from so far away—”
Before he could finish his sentence, a thin young man approached quickly from afar.
He ran very quickly, and his movements were light and nimble. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Chu Liuyue.
As he ran in a hurry, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
He had a pair of pure and sincere eyes that shone with youth and vitality.
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
In the past few years, Thirteen had really grown up. In her memory, he was still a child.
“Master, you were looking for me?”
Chu Liuyue came back to her senses and nodded with a smile. “Come over.”
With that, she walked back to Nan Suhuai.
“Mentor thinks you’re talented and wants to see your aptitude. If you pass, you can go to Ling Xiao Academy to cultivate in the future,” Chu Liuyue said concisely.
Thirteen was stunned. He looked at Nan Suhuai and then at Chu Liuyue. This means…
He had been here for days, so he naturally knew who the ‘mentor’ his master was talking about was. He had also heard of the other party’s identity.
He just didn’t expect it to be related to him.
Seeing that he was stunned, Chu Liuyue thought that she had shocked the child and smiled. “Thirteen, what are you waiting for? Stretch out your hand—”
Thirteen obediently extended his hand.
Nan Suhuai closed his fingers and placed them on Thirteen’s wrist. Then, he sent a strand of force into Thirteen’s Yuan meridian.
A moment later, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chu Liuyue asked, “Mentor, how is it?”
Nan Suhuai didn’t answer this question immediately. He just retracted his hand, stood up, walked to Thirteen’s side, and pinched his shoulder.
Thirteen looked at Chu Liuyue helplessly.
Chu Liuyue gave him a reassuring look. Only then did Thirteen continue to stay put quietly and let Nan Suhuai pinch the bones in his shoulders, arms, and other places.
After a while, Nan Suhuai stopped. At this moment, the way he looked at Thirteen was very different from before.
“Mentor, how is it?” Seeing his reaction, Chu Liuyue felt a little nervous. “Can Thirteen enter the academy to cultivate?”
Of course, she hoped for only the best for Thirteen.
Nan Suhuai paused for a long time before turning to look at her. His expression was serious, but his eyes were already smiling. “If he can’t even enter the academy like this, not many people in the world will be able to do it!”
This was a pass!
Chu Liuyue’s tense heart suddenly relaxed, and her lips curled up into a bright smile. “Really?”
“It can’t be more real! Would Mentor lie to you?” Nan Suhuai also smiled.
He stroked his beard and sighed. “Yue’er, I didn’t expect you to have such a good seedling hidden by your side! He has the Tianjing Yuan meridian! Moreover, his physique is special—he’s a natural warrior!”
Nan Suhuai’s words stunned Chu Liuyue. She had never known that Thirteen had such top-notch talent!
Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at Thirteen.
Thirteen blinked. His expression was pure and innocent, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He seemed to be at a loss for what to do about the situation.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath. “Thirteen, why… didn’t you say anything before?”
Thirteen hesitated. “I didn’t know about this either…”
Nan Suhuai asked curiously, “You’re so talented in cultivation, but you’ve never done any relevant tests before?”
Thirteen shook his head.
Only then did Chu Liuyue remember that Thirteen had indeed not checked these. When she picked up Thirteen years ago, he was still very young.
The capital was covered in snow and was bone-chilling. He was only wearing a thin shirt and was curled up around a corner, dirty.
At that time, she had only instructed her subordinates to send him some food and clothes before leaving. But after walking a long distance, she realized that the child had been following her from a distance.
At that time, she only felt very surprised. This was because her carriage was very fast. Even a true cultivator might not be able to keep up, let alone a child.
However, the child was thin and weak, but he was very fast and caught up easily. Most importantly, he followed quietly like an invisible person.
If she hadn’t sensed that something was wrong and discovered him later, nobody would’ve noticed his existence.
Thinking that this child was very interesting, Chu Liuyue brought him back.
Originally, she wanted to see what his talent and aptitude were, but a lot happened at that time. She was busy dealing with those things, so she didn’t have time to take care of him. Instead, she threw him to Cen Yi to help take care of him.
Later, when she was free, she thought of Thirteen and asked Cen Yi about the situation.
Cen Yi said that Thirteen was quite talented and suggested that they take him in and nurture him well.
She agreed without hesitation. From then on, Thirteen became the youngest of the Thirteen Yue Guard.
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other. Cen Yi should know about Thirteen’s situation. Why didn’t he say anything…
Nan Suhuai stroked his beard and sighed. “Even if this child goes to Ling Xiao Academy, he’s definitely one of the best among that group of geniuses!”
Chu Liuyue nodded and was about to speak when Thirteen took the initiative to say, “Master, can I not go to the academy?”
