Be my Disciple

Xu Suyu had no idea how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes, a man was standing in front of her.

This man appeared to be a slumbering dragon who had just awoken. Even though the air was icy cold, he stood there with hands behind his back. The wind flapped his robe as he let his hair swayed gently in the breeze.

Xu Suyu's vision was hazy, but she knew that even though this youth was back-facing, he was paying attention to her as he glanced at the blue moon that shone above the heavens.

Xu Suyu was suddenly attracted by his demeanor. She feels as if she has a deep sense of respect for this man.

'Was it he who saved me?'

Xu Suyu remembered before passing out, someone had held her up. Initially, she assumed that her father was the one that saved her. She did not, however, expect it to be someone.

She stood up, only to discover that her body was exceedingly light. As if she didn't have any ailments or anything.

Whenever she forced herself to cultivate, she would usually feel that kind of torturous pain The discomfort would not go away for a week. She didn't feel that way this time. Her body appeared to be...light and soothing.

She finally felt astonished when she thought up here. She was well aware that this was not a coincidence as she fixed her gaze on the man in front of her.

'Then that can only mean one thing. This guy saved me.'

Xu Suyu contemplated as she took a step forward. She was deeply shocked when she approached the man. 'Isn't he Zhou Mingyu, the Sixth Prince?'

Before she could say anything, she heard Zhou Mingyu speak gently.

"Was your ancestor's name happen to be Xu Ying?"

When she heard that, Xu Suyu scurried backward. She was overwhelmed. "How...How did you find out?"

Xu Suyu has a well-guarded identity. The Moon Goddess Xu Ying's descendent.

Although the ancestors' history records were hazy, she understood that the Xu Clan's progenitor was founded by their Great Ancestor Xu Ying.

Later, Xu Suyu discovered that Xu Ying was a forbidden name. Her father had even admonished her not to casually reveal that she was a descendant of this name. Otherwise, it would be disastrous for their clan and the Myriad Palace.

"So you're truly her descendant." Long Fengxian mumbled as he reminisced on the past.

Xu Ying had said something to him before departing.

That particular day, Xu Ying was standing on a teleportation gate.

"I'll go since you don't trust me." She faced him. "When you come to visit me one day, I'll make sure my descendants don't disrespect you. After all, you were once a vicious guy who lost his wings after being manipulated by a woman.."

"She wouldn't betray me, Ying'er," Long Fengxian protested. "Why are you so headstrong? Are you really going to go like this?"

Xu Ying never bothered to respond. She walked like a silent feather that flew away uninvitedly. Although it had been a long time, Long Fengxian now understood why she was departing with tears in her eyes.

'Was Qingrou threatening you, Ying'er?' Long Fengxian really regretted not being able to stop her at the time. If only time could be turned back, he wouldn't be so foolish as to not trust a girl who had followed him through life and death. ''The idiom of love doesn't exist in the life of an ancient powerhouse like myself. I was so naive to fall in love. I believed she was different, but she wasn't. She used my love as a tool to help her grow stronger. Except for me, no one can be blamed.'

Then he turned around to face Xu Suyu. He took a deep breath and approached her slowly.

Xu Suyu's heart beats faster in the calm courtyard where only the buzzing of the dead night sounded loud. Every footstep that perfectly rhymed with nature made her anxious for some reason.

Long Fengxian drew her hair away from her face. He stroked her chin and abruptly raised it to meet his gaze.

"What are you doing?" Xu Suyu was so uneasy that she involuntarily stepped back.

Long Fengxian smiled as he lowered his hands. "You are, indeed, a pretty lady."

Xu Suyu's brows wrinkled.

What is his intention by saying that? From her point of view, his words were...perverted.

"Would you like to be my—"

Xu Suyu interrupted him. "No, I'm sorry," she said, "are you the one who saved me?"

Long Fengxian chuckled at her silliness. He sensed Xu Ying's familiarity with this girl. She even assumed that he was being a pervert.

"I was the one who saved you.."

Xu Suyu was about to thank him for that, however, she heard him spoke.

"Would you like to be my disciple?" Fengxian murmured softly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm unable to cultivate."

Xu Suyu let out a sigh. Even though the sixth prince appeared to be as deep as the chasm, she, on other hand, was a mortal.

Long Fengxian glance at her. "You have the constitution of your Ancestor. If you're not willing to defy your fate, you can only be a mortal."

Xu Suyu made fists with her hands. "I am grateful for your life-saving grace, but I am unable to accept your discipleship. First and foremost, our ages are close. Most importantly, I am a mortal with no future as I said. Third, I have to listen to my father; after all, he is the one who decides my fate."

Xu Suyu had a lot on her plate, so she couldn't just accept whatever that was presented to her. She was aware that her future was more crucial. Her father was dying, and she still couldn't come to terms with it. Furthermore, she would be married to someone she had never met.

Long Fengxian was too lazy to argue with brats, so he just waved his hands. Energy rays that were the size of a ball traveled at the speed of light to Xu Suyu's forehead.

At that instance, Xu Suyu had a feeling of uneasiness. She wanted to flee but found it difficult to do so because of the bright light. The moment it made touch with her sea of consciousness, pain shook her mind.

She couldn't help but groan from the pain as she clutched her head. She swore that once the pain subsided, she would definitely curse Fengxian. Then, an unusual memory flashed through her head.

'Defying Mortal Technique'

Xu Suyu was flabbergasted. This technique...seemed to suit her perfectly.

The more she scanned the Defying Mortal Technique, the more her jaw open wide. Finally, she stared at Fengxian.

Seeing this, Fengxian smiled and waved his hand. "I'll know exactly what you're thinking. Follow me, 'll heal your father. I'm sure you have no excuse not to be my disciple after that, right?"
