Erniu thought about Qi Qingyaos instructions as she looked at the man wearing an eyepatch sitting inside the room, meditating on the large bed by the window. She hesitated for a while. A cold and gentle voice came from inside.

Youre already at the doorway, and Ive been notified, so why arent you coming in?

Erniu responded anxiously, I

Li Ruoxuan got off the large bed by the window and walked toward the big armchair in the main hall to sit down. He asked in a casual tone, Whats the matter?

Erniu stood behind the door and stuck her head out timidly. She said cautiously, Mommy said that youre already a grand master.

Yes. Li Ruoxuan picked up a red date from the tea tray. He glanced at it, then put it back down.

Then

Erniu lifted her short, tiny legs, stepped over the threshold, and swiftly ran over to Li Ruoxuan. She held her little head up and asked innocently, like a cute bunny, Can you take Erniu as your disciple?

The red date that Li Ruoxuan had just picked up almost dropped to the ground.

Ernius eyes were watery and full of imploration. Ill work really really hard and become a disciple you can be proud of.

After Li Ruoxuan calmed himself down, he asked. Why did you come and ask me?

Erniu went closer, leaned on the leg of his chair, and mumbled.

Because Mommy was bullied. Mommy said that if she goes missing one day, the three of us will not be able to protect ourselves.

After a pause, Erniu said tearfully, Thats why she told me to come to ask you.

Li Ruoxuan, She had already begun planning what was to be done when she was gone?

Erniu choked up and sniffed while kneeling on the ground. If you dont say yes, Ill kneel in front of you and never get up!

Li Ruoxuan looked at the cute bunny kneeling before him and said very coldly, I wont say yes.

Erniu widened her big, innocent eyes and said in confusion, Why?

Li Ruoxuan stated a certain fact with an easy grace. Because once youre capable, one day you might betray your master and kill me to avenge Qi Qingzhu.

Erniu was stunned for a moment. She blinked her eyes resentfully and frustratedly.

Are you afraid that youll lose your job after teaching a disciple?

Or are you afraid that someday Ill cultivate to become even more powerful than you?!

Are you so insecure about yourself?

No, I should say that you have a lot of confidence in Erniu!

Having said that, Erniu thought to herself that since everyone had said she was very gifted, why bother begging this bad man for help. She was also very straightforward. She got up instantly and said with a clear, ringing voice.

Well, if you dont want to teach me, Ill go ask somebody else. Im so talented, Ill surely become powerful no matter who teaches me.

She lifted her neck. Her soft, chubby, pinkish face was full of innocence. Youre about to lose potentially your most powerful disciple.

She had even learned how to speak with gravitas?! This kid! Li Ruoxuan put a red date into his mouth and slowly said, Wait.

Erniu was shocked and turned back instantly. Have you changed your mind? Realizing that she had expressed her happiness too obviously, she quickly acted like she did not care.

However, how could a childs quick-changing expression escape the eyes of an adult?

Seeing that Erniu cared so much made Li Ruoxuan smile instead.

He said, You talk just like your annoying motheryou said youd fall on your knees and beg, yet you just turned around, wanting to leave.

Erniu lifted her neck angrily and said, Didnt you say you were afraid Id kill you when I was capable?

Li Ruoxuan was speechless. Your tongue is as sharp as your mothers!

Ill accept that compliment. Erniu scrunched her nose smugly, then pretended to say in arrogance, Are you willing to take me as your disciple?

Li Ruoxuan was silent, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Erniu suddenly ran over, hugged Li Ruoxuans arm, and began shaking it.

Take me in, take me in, take me in, take me in, take me in~~~~~~~~~~

Li Ruoxuan pursed his lips and looked wordlessly at the little kid who was not afraid of him at all.

Erniu puffed her cheeks and a.s.sured Li Ruoxuan. I really wont let you down! Ill work hard to become a disciple thatll make you proud!

Li Ruoxuan,

Erniu suddenly had an idea. Later, when youre old, I can even make funeral arrangements for you.

Would I need you to make funeral arrangements Li Ruoxuan swore that if he had been drinking water at this moment, he would surely have spat it out!

They all call you the State Preceptorbut Mommy said that looking at you, she believes youll never be able to find a partner, so you wont ever have a lovely child like me. Then who will bury you when you get old and die? Erniu widened her round eyes, smirked, and pretended to say cunningly, If you take in a disciple now, when the time comes and youre gone, Ill prepare a grand funeral and pray to you every year!

Li Ruoxuan said, Sounds very appealing. A grand funeral! He was the State Preceptor! He would have had a grand funeral prepared by the royal family after he died anyway!

Wait.

He had been strung along by this little kid.

Pooh!

Who would die early?!

Ernius clear and large, pure black eyes were full of sincerity. So just say yes.

Li Ruoxuan ate another red date and said calmly, Although you seem very sincere in becoming my disciple, pretty words arent enough to prove genuine sincerity. Others must pay to become a disciple. To become my disciple, apart from babbling with that little mouth, can you actually show any sincerity that I can trust?

Pay? How much? Erniu asked in distress, with an expression of disbelief.

Im not short of money. Li Ruoxuan said.

Then what are you short of? Erniu scratched her head in confusion.

Li Ruoxuan said leisurely, Im short of a child.

Ah! Erniu exclaimed and suddenly let go of his arm. She immediately took two steps back and babbled with a face of contemplation, Could it be that you want me to be your child? No way! Im Mommys child, I cant be yours!

Li Ruoxuan suggested easily, You can be your mothers child and also be my child at the same time.

Erniu shook her head. I dont understand.

Li Ruoxuan said, It means that youll call Qi Qingyao Mommy and call me Daddy.

Ah Ernius eyes were as large as saucers.

Li Ruoxuan asked placidly, Im the State Preceptor, and also a grand master. You know that Im very powerfulwhats so bad about me being your dad?

Because Mommy said I cant simply acknowledge anyone as my dad.

Erniu looked suspicious as she asked in a thick nasal voice, Could it be that you like my mother, so you want to become my dad?!

Li Ruoxuan denied everything and responded, Who likes that annoying woman?

Then, if you dont like her

Before Erniu could finish speaking, Li Ruoxuan said impatiently, Okay, okay. Cease your babbling. Ill take you in as a disciple.

If she was allowed to continue, this bunny was going to talk more nonsense.

Li Ruoxuan quickly changed the subject and said, Go serve me a cup of tea and bow to me three times. Lets perform the ceremony of honoring me as your master.

Erniu rushed out excitedly, tripping over the doors threshold and having a bad fall.

Li Ruoxuan was shocked. He got up, wanting to walk over to help her up.

However, a certain cute bunny quickly got up, turned around, grinned at him, then ran to ask the maid to make tea

Li Ruoxuan,

It seemed that having such a disciple was not so bad after all.
