2847 The Catastrophe 2 (1/2)

Fan Qianshi did not heed her request but continued to stare straight at her. ”Master, do you forgive me?”

Gu Xijiu was speechless.

”Fan Qianshi, are you threatening me?”

Fan Qianshi looked down and stubbornly said, ”If my master refuses to forgive me, I would rather be struck by the thunderbolts!”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. It had been more than a month since she last saw Fan Qianshi. He was now skinny, and his beard grew significantly longer. Also, the robe on his body was dirty. The only exception was that his eyes were still bright. Other than that, he was almost a different person and looked incredibly lonely.

A loud crashing sound was heard closeby, and within seconds, the man was struck again. Fan Qianshi did not do anything to protect himself. He was burnt and bled.

”Divine Lord, I beg you to save him!”

”Divine Lord, he has been here for a month. He has not left. His legs are almost decaying. Divine Lord, I beg you. Since he has such a sincere heart, please forgive him this time. As long as he is not banished, he can accept any punishment...” Wu Qianyan was kneeling beside them and almost collapsed from crying.

Gu Xijiu sighed. She only had one apprentice, and he was destined to succeed her. Naturally, she did not really want to expel him. He had been punished rather severely, enough for him to have learned from his mistake. Perhaps, it was enough.

”Fan Qianshi, if you can safely pass through the catastrophe, I will consider taking back my order.” She finally spoke.

Fan Qianshi suddenly looked up, and his eyes glistened with hope. His cracked lips trembled a few times before he spoke, ”Thank you... Thank you, master!”

He immediately followed Gu Xijiu's instructions to exercise his inner power. When the next thunderbolt struck him, he rolled on the floor over and over again.
