Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Promoted to the Third Disciple

Listening to her pitiful voice, Quan Jinbei was unmoved.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to squeeze me out and be the second wife yourself?"

Mu Tiantian thought about the oath she had solemnly made and her face stiffened.

What’s it called, teaching fish to swim?

That’s exactly what she was doing.

She might still be a "mistress" who hadn’t succeeded in climbing up the ranks yet.

But as someone who wanted to be kept by Shi Yaoguang, she had said in front of his husband that she wanted to be his second wife.

Even if they knew she was a girl and couldn’t do anything, it was still cuckolding.

Plus, what kind of era was this?

Girls indeed don’t have the tools for the crime, but...

There are always more ways than difficulties.

If she really wanted to, she could find the tools.

Mu Tiantian imagined a whole drama in her mind, her heart thumping wildly, nearly giving her a heart attack.

"I, I didn’t think before I spoke, I didn’t know you were Yaoguang’s husband..."

As she spoke, she felt like crying.

If she had known earlier that this good-looking guy was none other than Third Master Quan, she would never have offended him.

But no one warned her!

Shen Huan clearly knew Quan Jinbei’s identity in advance, yet even so, he didn’t remind her.

Though he said things that seemed meaningful, what was the use?

The words Shen Huan said, she listened, got even angrier instead of changing her mind, right?

At this thought, she couldn’t help but glare at Shen Huan.

Shen Huan looked innocent, "Why are you glaring at me? Did I provoke you?"

"Do you even have the nerve to say that?"

Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but grit her teeth, "Do you know you’ve ruined me?"

Shen Huan: "...I don’t know."

Mu Tiantian snorted, "You’re still shirking responsibility!"

"I’ve already warned you. If you didn’t pay attention, what can I do?"

Shen Huan shrugged, "I’ve done all I could, out of benevolence and righteousness."

Mu Tiantian burst into tears, "Is this your idea of benevolence and righteousness? You’re clearly kicking someone when they’re down!"

"If you wanted to warn me, you should’ve done it sooner. What good did your warning do, other than add fuel to the fire?"

"At least my intention was good," Shen Huan couldn’t help but defend himself.

Mu Tiantian snorted and didn’t want to bother with him.

Shen Huan: "..."

Forget it, a grown man shouldn’t quibble with a young girl.

Shi Yaoguang, watching the two of them, cleared his throat, "Alright, alright, let’s happily skip over this topic."

Mu Tiantian had a baffled look on her face, "Skip over?"

"No, we can’t skip over it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huan couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, "I salute you for your bravery."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

In her haste, she waved her hands to explain, "No, that’s not what I meant."

"What do you mean by not what you meant?"

Shen Huan raised an eyebrow, "Do you think you’re living too comfortably and want to... seek thrills?"

"Of course not."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I, I just want to..." Mu Tiantian counted her fingers, "I just want to become a disciple."

She brazenly said to Quan Jinbei, "Listen clearly, I want to be a disciple now, I have no intention of interfering in your relationship."

Saying this, she blinked her eyes, "I’m here to join you, not to break you up~"

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Why does that sound so strange?

Shen Huan clicked his tongue. "Mu Tiantian, isn’t this a bit too shameless of you?"

"What do you mean ’shameless’?" Mu Tiantian was indignant. "I am not shameless, I... I am just..."

"Just what?"

"I am just reasonably expressing my own thoughts," Mu Tiantian huffed. "Did I say anything wrong? After becoming an apprentice and joining Yaoguang’s big family, isn’t it natural? Speaking of which, Yaoguang, are you planning to start a sect? If you do start a sect, what will be the name of our sect?"

"Although I’m not the eldest martial sister, I’m the youngest martial sister, hehe..."

Watching Mu Tiantian sink into her blissful daydream, Shen Huan almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Enough already."

"Huh?"

"Enough," Shen Huan said, holding his forehead. "Shi Yaoguang hasn’t even agreed yet, and you’re thinking so far ahead, afraid that others won’t know you’re the queen of wishful thinking?"

Mu Tiantian pouted. "Who says I’m wishful thinking? I definitely am not!"

"I’m telling you, I’m not wishful thinking, I am just..." She covered her face, acting very coy, "I am just this kind of person~"

Listening to her lingering, sing-song voice, Shen Huan shook his arm and looked toward Shi Yaoguang, "Shi Yaoguang, you say!"

"You tell her that she’s daydreaming!"

Shi Yaoguang supported her chin with one hand, as if deep in thought, "Tiantian wants to apprentice, and it’s not necessarily a bad idea."

Shen Huan: "????"

His face was full of disbelief. "Are you serious?"

"I am serious," Shi Yaoguang said earnestly, "Is there a problem?"

Shen Huan’s expression was somewhat stiff. "Are you sure about taking her as a disciple? Won’t it be an... an additional mark on your glorious history?"

Before he could finish, Mu Tiantian snapped back. "Shen Huan, that’s enough from you! You’re just jealous! What’s wrong with me becoming an apprentice? Other than having you call me ’Mistress,’ how does it bother you?"

Shen Huan chuckled: "The mere fact that you want me to call you ’Mistress’ is enough of a bother."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Feeling guilty, she hummed. "It’s not that I have no other choice. If you really can’t accept bowing to me, there are other solutions."

"How would that be resolved?"

Mu Tiantian pointed at herself, her smile as courteous as can be. "Me, I am willing to step back and not insist on you showing me respect as your senior."

Shen Huan: "..."

Essentially, there was no difference.

Shi Yaoguang looked at their exchange and cleared her throat lightly. "Cough, have you two made up your minds?"

Mu Tiantian nodded quickly. "I’ve made up my mind!"

After saying that, she knelt down at an incredibly fast speed towards Shi Yaoguang.

There was a loud "thump" as she knelt with conviction.

"Master above, your disciple bows to you!" She said, and promptly kowtowed.

The series of actions were fierce like a tiger; after finishing, she eagerly looked at Shi Yaoguang, waiting for her response.

What could Shi Yaoguang say?

The disciple had presented herself willingly at her doorstep; how could she refuse?

Thus, Mu Tiantian proudly became the third disciple.

Shen Huan: "..."

Shen Huan was on the verge of shutting down.

Having Cheng Lingdang was already enough, and now there was another Mu Tiantian.

When would there be an end to these days under the vast sky?

Shen Huan’s internal retreat didn’t affect Mu Tiantian’s mood one bit.

However...

She soon stopped smiling.

Because...

The person she had offended was still there.

Quan Jinbei coldly watched the smug Mu Tiantian, whose fiery enthusiasm was doused by his gaze.
