Chapter 42 - A Powerful Man
“The Immortal Dao is dependent on immortal fate. I will not insist if you are not willing, though. It’s just a pity that you will not cultivate my techniques, when you possess the talent for immortal cultivation…” The white-haired man shook his head sadly.
Lu Xiaowan’s glance fell on Di Jiu, who was not far away. To be honest, the main reason she had gone there was to capture Di Jiu. If this place were not the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts, she would not have had to resort to using her registration token as bait. She would have just broken Di Jiu’s limbs and abducted him by force.
However, even her master, Trustworthy, would not dare resort to violence outside the entrance of the Institute of Martial Arts.
Before she was able to capture Di Jiu though, she had been presented with an opportunity.
Lu Xiaowan was no fool. She knew very well that such an opportunity was extremely rare. If she turned down this chance, she would probably never come across a similar one again. Even though she was talented, the opportunity to study the Immortal Dao would not present itself to her a second time.
Although her current master had not taught her much, she had still become a supreme-grade rank warrior within a short period of time. She was fully aware that her talent was remarkable.
When Di Jiu felt Lu Xiaowan’s eyes on him, his heart skipped a beat. Di Jiu’s first impression of her had been that she was an extremely shy teenage girl who blushed whenever she spoke to him.
However, her expression had now changed to reflect her inner ambition, so her shyness had disappeared completely. Di Jiu could even detect some loathing in her eyes.
He suddenly thought how lucky he had been to have met someone like Lu Xiaowan, who could help him enter the Institute of Martial Arts, even though it had turned out that she had not brought her ID…
Lui Wan was infuriated. Her anger was only appeased when she saw that her master was smiling at her. The man wanted to see how she would deal with such a situation. If she did not handle the situation kindly, she would make a bad impression on him.
Lui Wan took a deep breath and handed the registration token over to Di Jiu voluntarily. “This is for you. My father sold most of our assets for this opportunity. I do not understand why you are so obsessed with me considering that we just met, but I am leaving with my master to pursue the dao, so I will forget about all worldly matters, such as this registration token. Take care of yourself. None of this will have anything to do with me from now on.”
When Lui Wan finished speaking, her master nodded and said, “Good. The dao that I received was about forgetting the past, not brooding over it. If there are any longings or preoccupations of the heart, one has to lay them to rest. It does not matter if you are in love with each other. You can cut off all ties with this registration token. That in itself is a form of dao. Starting today, you and I will head to the Fairy Planet, where you will learn from me.”
“Yes, master,” Lui Wan said as she kneeled on the ground obediently. The anger she had felt when she had been forced to hand over the registration token to Di Jiu had disappeared completely.
“Congratulations for acquiring such a good disciple, sir!” Everyone bowed down to congratulate the white-haired man.
“Good… Today’s trip was worthwhile.” When the white-haired man waved his hand, Lui Wan rose from her kneeling position. Di Jiu saw the man make a few moves with his feet before he dashed past the lake beside the entrance and vanished into the woods.
“This man is really powerful…” Di Jiu felt deeply amazed.
