Chapter 626 (2/2)
“Miss, you might have misunderstood something.” After a short moment later, the aristocrat young man frowned. “I’m only giving you a kind reminder. Why do you have to treat me with such a bad attitude?”
Just then, Fang Xingjian suddenly turned in slight surprise as he looked toward the side at the golden-haired young lady named Maria. A hint of strange glow flashed in his eyes, and it was as if his eyes were gemstones that had a colored glaze to it.
Under Lan Yue’s astonished gaze, Fang Xingjian slowly walked up to Maria and touched her head.
Throughout the entire process, an aura that was like the flow of the natural law and the vast universe extended out in the area. Everything seemed very natural.
Everyone looked at this scene, stunned. As if everything was natural, no one stood out to stop him, not even Maria’s father.
Fang Xingjian looked at the stunned Maria and suddenly asked, “Young lady, are you interested to be my student?”
“Huh?” After Fang Xingjian threw out his question, that vast aura immediately dissipated, and Maria seemed to regain her senses. She immediately shook her head and said, “No way, no way. I’m here to become a disciple of the Myriad Stars Palace. I can’t be your student.”
Maria’s father, who was next to her, also regained his senses. Fang Xingjian and Lan Yue did not look like ordinary people. However, to this middle-aged man, how could they be compared with the Myriad Stars Palace no matter how amazing this couple was? Therefore, he rejected Fang Xingjian’s offer politely yet firmly, “Mister, our apologies. Maria has already made a promise with her teacher in the Myriad Stars Palace. She won’t be able to become your student.”
Fang Xingjian shook his head, “It’s fine. It’s just a sudden thought.” Fang Xingjian was not wrong to say that, He had been struck suddenly by the Sudden Inspiration and followed his feeling in wanting to take Maria as his disciple.
As for what the reason was and what benefit it would bring, he was not able to put a word to it.
Ever since he had the Sudden Inspiration ability, Fang Xingjian had encountered many of such situations. In some cases, he would be able to sense the concrete situation, while in others, he would only have a vague feeling. However, he tended to follow his feelings. Additionally, there was generally no harm done.
Lan Yue walked up next to Fang Xingjian, continuously scanning Maria’s physical body with her martial will. It was as if she was curious what was it about this little girl that Fang Xingjian would want to take the initiative to accept her as his disciple.
Hearing Maria’s and the middle-aged man’s replies, Lan Yue shook her head, feeling that these two people were truly blind to ignore the treasure cove before them.
Hearing this, the aristocratic young master smirked, “Hehe, there are really all kinds of swindlers in this world these days. She is a genius who is going to enter the Myriad Stars Palace. Don’t destroy her future.”
Fang Xingjian looked at that aristocratic young master, who glared back without showing any signs of weakness. “Why, is what I said wrong? You still want to steal disciples from the Myriad Stars Palace? What audacity.” The young master vented all of his fury from the contempt that Lan Yue had shown him earlier onto Fang Xingjian.
Just then, an aged female voice came from the mountains.
“That’s right. You’re really audacious to be wanting to steal a disciple from our Myriad Stars Palace.”
When the first word was spoken, everything sounded very distant and vague. However, when the last word was spoken, it sounded as if the person was right before them. A middle-aged lady, who wore blue a robe which had countless silver sparkling light spots on it that looked just like starlight, landed amidst strong gales.
Maria’s father spoke up in great surprise, “Mistress Crystal, you’re here? Maria, quickly greet the Mistress.”
Maria nodded with some reservations.
