Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Don’t even think about being kept in any form

Mu Tiantian leaned into Shi Yaoguang’s ear and whispered softly, "I want to become your disciple!"

Shi Yaoguang blinked, "What did you say?"

Mu Tiantian glanced over at Shen Huan, and without lowering her voice any further, she openly expressed her wishes, "I want to be your disciple someday!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Before she had a chance to say anything, Shen Huan rejected the idea.

"No way!"

Mu Tiantian glared at him, "Yaoguang hasn’t said anything yet, what gives you the right to refuse?"

Complaining, she pouted her lips and turned towards Shi Yaoguang, "Look at Yaoguang, isn’t he bullying me? I don’t care, I’m super upset, you have to help me!"

Shi Yaoguang, being pulled by Mu Tiantian, felt it was difficult to refuse graciously.

She glanced at Shen Huan, her eyes filled with inquiry, "Shen Huan..."

Shen Huan, called by name, felt super wronged, "Don’t look at me like that, I haven’t bullied her at all! If she’s upset, I’m even more so!"

"Then tell me, what do you suggest?" Shi Yaoguang looked at him, and then at Mu Tiantian, "And Tiantian, what are your thoughts?"

Shen Huan insisted, "I haven’t bullied her!"

Mu Tiantian said, "I don’t care, I want to become a disciple no matter what!"

As she spoke, she looked at Shi Yaoguang with puppy-dog eyes: "Yaoguang, you won’t refuse me, will you?"

"Yaoguang, you definitely won’t have the heart to refuse me, will you?"

"Wuuu wuuu wuuu... Yaoguang..."

"Sister Yaoguang~"

Shi Yaoguang, faced with Mu Tiantian’s pitiful expression, had no choice but to relent, "Since you’re so keen, I can give you a chance."

"Oh yeah!" Mu Tiantian flashed a victory sign, her expression changing in a heartbeat.

Watching her triumphantly smug face, Shen Huan couldn’t help but mentally shut down, "Shi Yaoguang, look at her! Does she look like someone I’ve bullied? Anyone with eyes can see I’m the one being bullied!"

Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat and nodded slightly, "You make a good point."

"What’s a good point about that?" Shen Huan felt very dissatisfied: "She’s obviously doing it on purpose, how can you turn a blind eye?"

Shi Yaoguang looked innocent, "I’m not turning a blind eye, am I?"

"You still say you’re not!"

Shen Huan was so frustrated he could hardly bear it, "By indulging her like this, aren’t you turning a blind eye to the harm I’ve suffered?"

"After all, my grandfather is your disciple, how can you treat me this way?"

Shen Huan said in a super loud voice, "Isn’t there a saying about favoring the youngest son, the eldest grandson? Although my grandfather is your disciple and not your son, he still took up the position of a major disciple, so you can’t treat his grandson, your junior disciple, like this!"

After listening to Shen Huan’s impassioned speech, Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat, reminding him, "You might not know that your grandfather is actually not my senior disciple."

Shen Huan’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I’m stating the facts," Shi Yaoguang said with resignation, "Before I took your grandfather as a disciple, Lingdang had already become my disciple."

Shen Huan: "..."

His face instantly showed a look of disillusionment.

Shi Yaoguang gave him a consoling look, "Actually, it’s not a big deal—it’s just discipleship..."

Shen Huan gave her a despairing glance, "How can you call that nothing?"

He had thought that with his grandfather being Shi Yaoguang’s disciple, his own generational status was low enough.

Now he was being told that above the ceiling he regarded as the limit, there was actually another layer of heaven.

Every time he thought of Cheng Lingdang reaching the same generation as his grandfather at such a young age, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and indignant.

What kind of world was this?

Why should he, who was perfectly fine, suffer this injustice?

Shi Yaoguang looked at Shen Huan’s bewildered expression, hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t say anything.

He was already a mature apprentice, he would definitely be able to think it through himself.

Shen Huan, seeing that she had no intention of coaxing him at all, felt even more aggrieved.

He was still a child!

No, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Shi Yaoguang, watching his eyes suddenly redden, felt somewhat headache coming on.

"Alright, alright, I really didn’t mean it, you’re a grown man, please don’t cry!"

It would have been better if she hadn’t spoken, for her words made Shen Huan feel even more wronged, "You tell me not to cry and so I should stop crying? Why should I listen to you? You tell me, what’s in it for me? Not only do you suddenly age me by several generations for nothing, but because of you, I’m made to feel inferior to others."

"Why, tell me, why is that?"

Listening to Shen Huan’s complaints, Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment, then took out a small stone from her pocket.

This stone was similar in shape to a pebble, but its material was multicolored, creating a dazzling effect to the eyes.

Shen Huan’s attention was quickly captivated by the stone.

"What, what’s this?"

The redness disappeared from his eyes as he stared straight at the colorful stone in Shi Yaoguang’s hand.

Shi Yaoguang said, "This is a Spirit Stone, it’s beneficial for the body."

As she spoke, she placed the small stone in Shen Huan’s hand, "Here, consider this as a meeting gift from me."

Shen Huan was about to say that she couldn’t just fob him off with a mere stone, but when he held the stone, he felt its miraculous properties.

He didn’t know what material the Spirit Stone was made of, but holding it in his hand gave him a strangely comfortable feeling.

The moment his fingers touched the stone, he felt as if he were suddenly enlightened.

The sensation was so wonderful that he didn’t want to let go.

Bought by the benefits of the Spirit Stone, Shen Huan no longer had the inclination to continue worrying about Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian, seeing that Shen Huan had been appeased, couldn’t help but feel her eyes turn red.

She looked eagerly at Shi Yaoguang: "Yaoguang, I’m going to be your big sponsor, even though you might not really need one, but I do!"

She volunteered with great enthusiasm, "It doesn’t matter if I can’t provide for you, you can provide for me! I’m open to any form of patronage, why don’t you think about it again..."

Shi Yaoguang was about to reply when a calm male voice declined Mu Tiantian’s offer on her behalf, "There’s no need to consider it."

Mu Tiantian looked up in astonishment to see a man wearing a mask standing opposite her, his gaze fixed on Shi Yaoguang.

The man did not even spare her a glance as he walked up to Shi Yaoguang and asked, "What were you hesitating about just now?"

Mu Tiantian heard clearly that the man’s tone was filled with an inexplicable danger.

If Shi Yaoguang’s response was not a good one, she might well suffer "torture."

The thought made her worry for her, "Yaoguang, you won’t be in any trouble, will you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze on herself. The masked man looked at her coldly, his stare too icy.

It was as if he was looking at some cold, lifeless object...
