2843 The Banishmen (2/2)

He had to use a spell on her that would make her tell the truth, even in her dreams.

Normally, he would never find the courage to do so. After all, Gu Xijiu's kung fu was many times stronger than his, so there was no way he could charm her with the spell. Furthermore, he would not risk getting beaten up. But right now, desperate times called for desperate measures.

”He refused it,” Gu Xijiu murmured.

Fan Qianshi started clenching his fist in irritation. ”Why does he refuse to acknowledge you? If he is really reluctant, how did the agreement even happen?” The color from his face started fading.

”It all started with a joke and a bet.”

Fan Qianshi had to take a deep breath before continuing. ”Master, you can easily have anyone become your disciple, so why must you force the man? If he is really against it, you can just banish him!”

”I… I cannot do so. The agreement was assigned to me by the heavens, so I cannot banish him, or we will both be punished by a catastrophe.”

Fan Qianshi was speechless. He did not understand anything that she just said.

”Master, do you really need the heavens' approval before accepting a disciple? Have I got the same approval?”

”No, you have not,” she answered honestly while shaking her head.

Fan Qianshi was devastated. ”I am your only disciple, and yet I have not been approved by the heavens.” He refused to believe it.
