Chapter 2024: Discovered something

He Lan’s smile was faint and there was not a noticeable change in her expression even as she smiled. However, He Lan knew that she was satisfied.

“Turning fire into her cauldron yet still able to produce a pill of this rank at such a fast speed. How about it, I didn’t speak in error, did I?” This was the first time that he was so cocky because of a disciple.

“Passable.” He Lan said, “However, she’s not too familiar with her methods. Without continuous efforts, she will not be able to rise to the ranks of a Great Master.”

“Isn’t that why I’m letting you teach her.” Lu Yan said.

“Hmph.”

It was a simple huff, but it was proof that she had agreed.

He Lan thought about it, then said, “When I head back, I’ll let them take her in.”

“No way!” The one who spoke was still Lu Yan.

“What’s wrong?” He Lan glared at him, extremely displeased at how naggy he was.

“She’s my disciple, but you want someone from the younger generation to take her in? Wouldn’t I be one rank lower than you then?” Lu Yan rejected her, “If you want her, then you take it. Otherwise, don’t!”

“Lu Yan, you jerk!” He Lan was so incensed that she almost flung the teacup in her hand at him. Her mythical aura immediately turned to rage.

Even Sima You Yue pursed her lips. How did she never realise how annoying her Master was before? Or should she say that he became this way in front of her?

Suddenly, didn’t it feel like she had discovered something? She blinked her eyes, deciding not to say a word.

Lu Yan wavered under her rage, but he refused to budge on this point.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to take her in or not?” Lu Yan’s attitude was really stretching it.

“You’re forcing a disciple on me”! He Lan refuted.

“She’s such a talented individual. Those below you would never be able to teach her.” Lu Yan said, “Even if you let them come, she’ll just exceed them. At that time, you will still have to step in personally. Why go through all that trouble?”

“You have too much confidence in her!” He Lan didn’t believe him.

“Oh? If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. How old she is, what rank she is, what she knows.” Lu Yan said, “All I’ve said was not just bluster. I said that they won’t be able to teach her anything, and they really won’t. Instead of letting them lead her astray, she might as well remain here to learn sound attacks.”

“Didn’t you not allow her to enter the Alchemy Sect?”

Didn’t they already say that she would focus on studying sound attacks?

“Aren’t you the General Sect Elder? She can go to learn from you once in a while. Whenever you have the time, you can also come here to teach her.”

Sima You Yue lowered her head and looked at her skirt, trying to make herself invisible. She lifted her head a little to peek at Jing Fu, who looked like he deeply regretted not leaving earlier.

The two of them exchanged glances, and their gazes were both filled with helplessness.

Finally, He Lan did end up accepting Sima You Yue as her disciple. However, she said that they would have to set a date to officially hail her as a master, so she had to go back and make preparations.

Once He Lan left, Jing Fu hurriedly took his leave. Sima You Yue and Lu Yan were the only two left behind.

“Master, do you have a very close relationship with Sixth Elder?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We’ve known each other for a long time.”
