The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 89

Chapter 89: “Successful Pitch”

Just like the last time, the one who came to receive them was the child with the combed back hair.

The boy’s body emitted a noble air that forbid others from getting close. You XiaoMo was almost certain of his status as he should be one of the legendary guards of Yun Shui Peak. It was just that this Elder’s outer appearance was seriously different from the image he conjured up in his mind.

After taking them outside the estate, the boy once again disappeared soundlessly.

You XiaoMo was already used to seeing strange things , so he just walked inside with Ling Xiao, going according to the path they used the last time. Right in front of the large magic herb field was a small hut. At this moment, Ling Xiao who was walking in front stopped suddenly. You XiaoMo didn’t notice and bumped his head right into his back. Rubbing his hurting nose, he was just about to open his mouth when Ling Xiao suddenly covered his mouth.

You XiaoMo raised his head and used his eyes to ask, “What is it?”

“There’s someone.” Ling Xiao mouthed those words, not caring if You XiaoMo understood. He pricked up his ears listening to the movements in the small hut.

You XiaoMo looked over at the wooden hut that was still over thirty meters away. His lips twitched as he pouted.

After a while, Ling Xiao removed his hand from You XiaoMo’s mouth and signaled for him to continue walking.

You XiaoMo received the message. Knowing that they could start talking, he quickly asked, “What happened just now? Don’t tell me there was someone else in the wooden hut besides Ye-shishu? But no one came out?”

“That person has left. It’s not strange that you didn’t see him.” Ling Xiao didn’t hide it from him, continuing, “They were talking about you. That person was sent by Tang Fan. Tang Fan heard that Ye Han wanted to accept you as an apprentice , so he sent someone to convince him not to take you.”

“Why?” You XiaoMo asked, a little upset.

Why was it that everyone didn’t want him to be Ye-shishu’s apprentice? Although he knew in his heart, hearing it from the mouth of others, he still felt very wronged.

“This , you still have to ask?” Ling Xiao glanced at him and continues lightly, “Ye Han is someone whom everyone in the Tian Xin Sect wants to get on their side. Even Tang Fan is no exception. The only peak that is closely linked to Tang Fan is Heaven Peak. Although he is the Grand Master of the Tian Xin Sect, he still wishes for the person by Ye Han’s side to be someone from Heaven Peak. Furthermore, you’re from Capital Peak ; for him to agree, that would be strange.”

You XiaoMo pouted exaggeratedly, “Clearly I’m also a disciple of the Tian Xin Sect … ”

Ling Xiao sneered coldly and said lightly, “Tang Fan isn’t as fair and impartial as you imagine. He is only an ordinary person, with selfish motives and desires. On top of that, he has been on top for a long time. No matter how noble and lofty, one would still be reduced to some small selfish man. Furthermore, Tang Fan was never a saint. Wait until you’ve seen it a few more times, you’ll slowly get used to it.”

You XiaoMo pouted. He had absolutely no desire to get used to it. This world was too treacherous. He wanted to go back to Earth!

“Did you hear what that person said to Ye-shishu?” You XiaoMo asked.

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao couldn’t help hooking his arm over You XiaoMo’s shoulder, one finger tilting his jaw upwards, saying frivolously, “Of course. Although he put up a barrier outside, the level was nothing difficult for me. You want to know?”

You XiaoMo pouted harder. Why did he feel like he was being molested? It must be that he got up the wrong way from the bed this morning. Otherwise, why would he have this absurd misconception?

Ling Xiao saw that he didn’t respond but still didn’t feel put out, “Actually , you can guess without me having to tell you. That person used the excuse that you ’ve only entered the Tian Xin Sect less than two months ago, so you don’t have a service record. He wants Ye Han to forget about taking you in as an apprentice , and let Tang YunQi take your place. But Ye Han is also not someone who is easy to deal with. He insisted that other than you, no one else would do. That person received orders from Tang Fan , so of course he wouldn’t ease up. In the end, he said that your background is dubious and that you may be a spy. They spoke until they heard your footsteps, then that person left. That’s pretty much it.”

You XiaoMo couldn’t help but pout three times over. Why did it seem like those last words were putting the blame on him? He was only a puny little mage. There was no need to add those amazing and fearsome things to his name.

“Come in.” Ye Han’s voice came from the hut.

Only then did You XiaoMo realize that he had unconsciously walked right up to the hut so he just pushed the door and walked in with Ling Xiao.

Ye Han stood in front of a rack of magic herbs, with his back facing them, as if he was putting the magic herbs in order. Hearing the door open, he turned around. His face was calm, just like how he appeared three days ago , as if he were not the least big angry with what just happened half a minute ago.

“So what do you think about it?” Ye Han didn’t like to talk in a roundabout way, getting straight to the point after sitting down.

You XiaoMo glanced at Ling Xiao who gave him a slight smile. He quickly shifted his gaze and hesitated for a bit before saying, “Ye-shishu, I am very happy that you appreciate a nobody like me , but I have been granted your undeserved kindness. I think I’m not fit for this position. So, I think that it should be given to someone that needs it more than me.”

Hearing these words, Ye Han wasn’t surprised. He only looked at him for a while before sighing softly, “Looks like you’ve already heard about it. Three days ago, I was indeed too rash. I didn’t consider how this matter would cause problems for you.”

“It’s not like that , Ye-shishu.” You XiaoMo heard those words bearing responsibility and was alarmed, “I never felt that this matter is troublesome, it is just that, it is just that … ”

After racking his brains, You XiaoMo still couldn’t figure out what he should say so he could only look at Ling Xiao at his side.

Ling Xiao saw his imploring gaze and was very happy that he immediately thought of him. As for the possibility that it was because there were only the three of them here, so You XiaoMo had no other choice, Ling Xiao chose to single-mindedly ignore that fact altogether.

“Ye-shishu, this matter, I trust you know more about it than the both of us. Your position is very unique. The person by your side, be it disciple or apprentice, they must be proven to be a hundred percent devoted to the Tian Xin Sect. But You XiaoMo is different. He still hasn’t inherited the canons of the Tian Xin Sect, making it obvious that the Tian Xin Sect does not trust him. For this type of disciple to be able to come in and out of Yun Shui Peak, it is not just the Grand Master that won’t agree, even those old fogies up there would probably not agree.”

Yun Shui Peak was like the heart of the Tian Xin Sect. Touch one hair and it would affect the whole body.

“Yes , ah , Ye-shishu, if you really need an apprentice, my Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong can do. They are both level four mages. Their experience is richer than mine, definitely will do a better job than me. Really. If you don’t believe, you can test them.” You XiaoMo quickly chimed in. He now understood Ling Xiao’s analysis. Truthfully, it would be extremely difficult for him to walk this road of an apprentice. Rather than charging ahead obstinately, wouldn’t it be better for him to give this opportunity to Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong? This way, the opportunity wouldn’t be wasted.

Ye Han didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was obviously such a serious topic , but hearing him speak this way , he couldn’t maintain the seriousness. He actually felt that this little disciple was worried that he would compromise , thus losing out on this good opportunity , so he hurriedly pitched his Shixiongs.

Ling Xiao heard him still constantly thinking about his Da Shixiong and was just about to flip out when he suddenly got a flash of inspiration. He then gave a push before Ye Han started to speak.

“Ye-shishu, what Xiao Shidi said is right. I have met those two Xiongs. Their characters are indeed pretty good when compared to others. Da Shixiong Fang ChenYue is a gentle and amiable person that is very approachable. His popularity is also quite high. Second Shixiong Fu ZiLin , although a little cold, is very serious when it comes to doing things. If you were to accept the both of them, I can guarantee that you would not regret it.”

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo stared wide-eyed in surprise at Ling Xiao. It was hard to believe that Ling Xiao would speak on behalf of his Shixiongs. He somehow remembered that Ling Xiao didn’t seem to like Da Shixiong very much. Furthermore, his understanding of those two was even deeper than his own !

The one surprised was not just You XiaoMo. There was also Ye Han.

But Ye Han was not like You XiaoMo, showing his inner thoughts on his face. He was only shocked in his heart.

Ling Xiao was actually recommending someone, and people from Capital Peak on top of that. If Tang Fan found out, he would most probably be angered to death by this disciple. But it must be said that this Ling Xiao was really more to his liking. If Tang Fan really got angered, then wouldn’t that be good!

“Ye-shishu, what do you think?” You XiaoMo asked cautiously.

Ye Han almost couldn’t keep a straight face. This was the first time a junior had dared to speak to him like that. On top of that, asking him what was his decision. It couldn’t be that that one short moment was all the time he was given to consider?

Although the impression Ye Han had of the both of them was not bad, he couldn’t decide on such a big thing in such a short time. If not, certain people would definitely get anxious.

“I can’t give you an answer on this matter right now. How about this. Find a time for them to come by and I will test them personally. If they can impress me, I will accept them as apprentices.” Ye Han said.

“Then I’m very grateful. I will let them know.” You XiaoMo said immediately, his face showing both happiness and surprise.

Ye Han shook his head. He had not seen this type of pure happiness for the sake of his Xiongs getting an opportunity, actually beaming with happiness from the inside, for a long time now. It was a pity … it was a pity that he already had a shifu. If not, taking him as a disciple was probably not a bad decision. Thinking of this, Ye Han was inwardly shocked. He had not thought about taking a disciple for a very long time. And now, this young man that he had only met twice could make him think this way, it was really very shocking!

The one who didn’t know that he just missed out on a gigantic opportunity, You XiaoMo, was currently pulling Ling Xiao along down the mountain, full of excitement, seeming as if he urgently wanted to share the good news with his Shixiongs.
