Open up and break into another world

“This disciple is unfilial and wishes to withdraw from being your student, Teacher! I hope Teacher will grant permission!”

Elder Long Xue was originally boasting to Gu Yanying, thoroughly enjoying himself. Gu Yanying was even using Lin Lan as an example to praise Elder Long Xue.

But…

Elder Long Xue was happily boasting when his prized disciple, Lin Lan, actually came over and said she wanted to withdraw.

“Yes!” Lin Lan didn't dare to look up.

“Who do you want to apprentice to?” Elder Long Xue's face was gloomy as he listed names, “Elder Luan Wu? Elder Ziye? Elder Rong Ruo?…”

In Elder Long Xue's opinion, since Lin Lan wanted to withdraw from him, she must be going to apprentice to a more powerful figure; at least, someone on the same level as him!

However, Elder Long Xue was also a little puzzled—didn't Lin Lan know that withdrawing from a teacher was a major taboo? Other powerful figures might not be willing to accept a disciple with a “withdrawal” record.

“None of them!” Lin Lan said, “I plan to apprentice to Xu Ming!”

“Xu Ming?” Elder Long Xue was a little puzzled, “Is there a teacher named Xu Ming in the Wendaofu?”

Gu Yanying quickly explained: “Xu Ming is a genius from the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm who just entered the Wendaofu as a teacher! His cultivation should only be at the first level of the Wanwu Realm!”

“First level of the Wanwu Realm?” Elder Long Xue was about to laugh out of anger—his disciple actually wanted to withdraw and apprentice to someone at the first level of the Wanwu Realm?

Lin Lan quickly said: “Teacher, Xu Ming saved my life in the Ancient Remnant Realm! Now that he has entered the Wendaofu, I want to apprentice to him to repay his life-saving grace!”

“So that's how it is…” Elder Long Xue was somewhat enlightened—he knew Lin Lan relatively well; he also knew that Lin Lan would not withdraw for no reason.

But… Lin Lan's withdrawal was a major loss for him!

Elder Long Xue said in a low voice: “You want to repay a life-saving grace, but… have you considered my grace in nurturing you?”

Grace of nurturing?

Lin Lan was a little disdainful in her heart—to be honest, Elder Long Xue didn't pay much attention to her before she entered the Ancient Remnant Realm! Although he had taught her a lot, Lin Lan's father had already repaid the teaching grace!

So, the grace of nurturing could be said to not exist!

Moreover, Lin Lan also knew that after she returned from the Ancient Remnant Realm, her strength began to advance by leaps and bounds, and she would definitely be able to help Elder Long Xue earn a lot of merit in the future! But to be honest, Lin Lan didn't really want to help Elder Long Xue earn merit—after all, Elder Long Xue's grace in nurturing her was really very limited.

So, although it was to repay Xu Ming's life-saving grace, Lin Lan also wanted to take the opportunity to break away from Elder Long Xue's tutelage.

After thinking for a while, Lin Lan said: “I will have my father repay the grace of nurturing!”

Lin Lan's father was also a Nirvana Realm peak existence who could have equal conversations with Elder Long Xue!

“You…” Elder Long Xue stared at Lin Lan deeply and sighed deeply, “Since you have already decided, then I won't say anymore!”

“Thank you, Teacher, for your understanding!” Lin Lan bowed a few times and hurriedly left.

The scene was a bit awkward.

Gu Yanying cautiously said: “Elder Long Xue, how about… I find a way to knock on that Xu Ming?”

Elder Long Xue didn't answer directly, but said indifferently: “I really don't understand why a cultivation at the first level of the Wanwu Realm is qualified to be a teacher in the Wendaofu!”

Gu Yanying immediately understood and said: “I will definitely make Xu Ming understand that he is not qualified to be a teacher in the Wendaofu! When the time comes, if Xu Ming withdraws from the Wendaofu himself, Lin Lan will definitely kneel and return to your tutelage, Elder Long Xue!”

“Humph!” Elder Long Xue snorted noncommittally.

…

Inside Xu Ming's pavilion.

Two disciples stood there alone, looking at each other.

These two were the two disciples that Xu Ming had “coaxed” over—Zhao Xu, with a Chaos Realm ninth-level cultivation, and Mu Chengyun, with a Xuanhuang Realm seventh-level cultivation.

Originally, one of these two had too poor aptitude, and the other had a grudge with a Nirvana Realm power, so neither of them could successfully apprentice in the Wendaofu. Logically speaking, now that someone was taking them as disciples, it should have been something to be excited about.

However, when the two learned about Xu Ming's identity, they were not very happy.

After all, those who could enter the gates of the Wendaofu all had some background—like Zhao Xu and Mu Chengyun, even if they didn't come to the Wendaofu, finding a peak Wanwu Realm power to be their teacher would have been very easy! But now, their teacher, Xu Ming, was said to only have a first-level Wanwu Realm cultivation.

This was too bad…

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

So at this time, taking advantage of Xu Ming's absence, the two looked at each other and even discussed in private whether to withdraw directly later!

After all, in their opinion, apprenticing to Xu Ming was simply wasting their time!

Just then, Xu Ming walked in.

Seeing the two lonely kittens and puppies, Xu Ming felt a little depressed. But… who told him not to want to expose his strength?

Two kittens and puppies were fine! As long as they could “make a sound” in the Wendaofu!

And Xu Ming would give these two kittens and puppies the opportunity to “make a sound” in the Wendaofu!

Zhao Xu and Mu Chengyun were considering whether to withdraw directly; at this moment, a woman in green quickly walked in.

This woman in green exuded a strong sense of confidence.

Zhao Xu and Mu Chengyun took a look—it was Lin Lan, the rising star in the Wendaofu.

The two couldn't help but find it strange—wasn't Lin Lan Elder Long Xue's disciple? Why would she come here?

Just then, the two saw Lin Lan directly kneel down to Xu Ming and bow: “This disciple has withdrawn from Elder Long Xue and now formally apprentices to Teacher!”

What!?

Zhao Xu and Mu Chengyun were both dumbfounded.

Withdrawing from Elder Long Xue? To apprentice to Xu Ming, who was at the first level of the Wanwu Realm?

Zhao Xu and Mu Chengyun felt that their brains were not working—was their brain broken? Or was the brain of this Senior Sister Lin Lan in front of them broken?

However, the two reacted quickly and knew that even Lin Lan was willing to apprentice at all costs, then Xu Ming must not be as simple as he seemed on the surface!

The two only hesitated slightly before also kneeling down to Xu Ming and respectfully apprenticing!

However… how would the two of them know that the reason why Lin Lan came to apprentice to Xu Ming was to repay a life-saving grace! If they had known, they probably wouldn't have knelt so readily!

“Mm!” Xu Ming nodded with satisfaction, “Since everyone is here, let's start the lesson!”

Everyone is here?

Lin Lan was a little puzzled—didn't Xu Ming say before that he was “okay” with the disciples he had taken? Why were there only two oddballs?

Was this called “okay”?

Xu Ming didn't seem to see Lin Lan's puzzled expression and directly pointed to Zhao Xu, who had the lowest cultivation, and said: “Let's start the lesson with you!—You come forward and let Teacher touch your head!”
