I want her as my disciple

Just like this, the meeting came to an end. Lin Yue and her mother board their carriage after bidding Bai Yueran goodbye. Her father stays behind to have a chat with the family head.

The carriage without further ado made its way to Fairy Courtyard.

"Mother, must I participate in the competition?." with doe-eyed, Lin Yue asked.

"Of course. Or didn't you want to be powerful?." Her mother can't understand what she was thinking at all.

Swaying her mother's sleeve, Lin Yue explained sullenly.

"Mother, I don't want to participate in the competition, I don't want to be a guardian!."

Xie Mingzhu was shocked as she stared at her daughter with wide eyes and managed to ask after a long moment of silence, "Why?"

Lin Yue told her mother about her thoughts. She only wanted to live well and enjoy her life, she didn't want to spend it guarding an empire.

Xie Mingzhu shook her head and explained. "Yue'er, to become a guardian is definitely what everyone was looking for. It is also not unlike what you are thinking, it does not mean that you will have to stay at the border and guard.

You will have a lot of resources and respect as a guardian and even the emperor has to respect you. Apart from that, you will only fight when the empire can't hold on any longer against an enemy. In fact, you are the one to benefit if you are a guardian because, in history, some guardians didn't even go to war for their entire lives."

"And it is also my and your father's wish to see you become the guardian. So my dear baby, can you give it a try." Xie Mingzhu pleaded.

Lin Yue thought about it for a while and seeing her mother's pleading eyes, she found herself nodding. "OK Mother, Yue'er will give it a try."

Xie Mingzhu's eyes instantly brightened up and she nodded with a smile. "That's good, that's good. Mother will never see a fire and push you into it."

"Of course, I know."

...

In the hall.

All the elders have retreated and the big hall now only remained the family head and Lin Weidong.

Lin Weidong poured tea for the young-looking Lin Huang and the latter happily drink it.

"How old is your daughter?."

"Yue'er is only five months old, family head." Lin Weidong respectfully replied.

"Pfttt"

Lin Huang spat out the tea in his mouth.

"Are you kidding me?." He was really shocked. As one of the oldest and most powerful cultivators in Blue Moon Empire, with an age of two hundred and fifty years and a level nine Spiritual Overload, he had never seen a strange physique that could make five months old look like four years old.

Lin Weidong grab the handkerchief and wiped away the tea stain on the table.

"Thank you." Lin Huang replied embarrassedly, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Lin Weidong didn't mind and threw the handkerchief in a dustbin.

"Tell me, are you telling the truth about that kid?." Lin Huang can't believe what he heard.

"My Lord, this junior didn't dare to lie to you, I am saying the truth, and everyone in the capital also knew about it."

Hearing the confirmation, Lin Huang tapped on the table absentmindedly, he could hear his whole body screaming to do something about the kid. He look at the prim Lin Weidong and said seriously. "I will like to acknowledge her as my disciple."

Lin Weidong raised his head abruptly. He was shocked. The family head wants to acknowledge his Yue'er as his disciple... This was even more of a surprise than when he announced that he was going to take her as his goddaughter because his Yue'er now have the chance of being the next matriarch. His shock soon turned to happiness as he clenched his fist and stood up and bowed sincerely.

"Weidong thanked the family head for his grace." However, he didn't forget that he was not the one that the family head want to choose, it was his daughter and so he have to ask for her opinion.

"I will talk to Yue'er about it."

The family head wasn't angry about this at all and he waved his hand happily. "Bring her to my courtyard if she is interested."

Lin Weidong nodded and soon was dismissed.

....

"Really?!." Xie Mingzhu was shocked again when her husband told her about the disciple matter.

"I know! My daughter is definitely the reincarnation of the goddess of luck." She clapped happily.

Rolling on her mother's bed, Lin Yue frowned. "Mother is the family head born in the year of… dolphin?."

"Year of dolphin?." Her parents exchanged glances of confusion.

"Yeah, otherwise, why can't he just sit still?."

Lin Weidong frowned unhappily at her word. "Yue'er, don't say something like that again, the family head was only being nice. Think about it, how many people are willing to be just spared a glance by him? Uh, don't forget that I and your mother can't protect you all the time, you need more powerful protection."

"More powerful protection? from what?." Lin Yue was confused.

Realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have to say, Lin Weidong sighed and change the topic. "Go and cultivate, the more powerful you are, the more your chance of winning is. Your opponents are all level three and more."
