Accepting a disciple?
Mu Qingping suddenly realized Tang Xiu’s intentions. But she knew nothing about the cultivation method practiced by cultivators. She didn’t know whether this kind of cultivation practice would be good or bad for her daughter, so she did not dare to easily agree.
Tang Xiu as if he was able to see through Mu Qingping’s thoughts as he slowly said, “I understand your thoughts, but you can cast away your worries. Your daughter was born to be a cultivator. I’ve helped her change her body’s condition before, but it will only temporarily suppress the chilling frost energy inside her body. If we want to thoroughly cure her, she must cultivate an immortal cultivation technique. The frost energy will not cause any injuries to her, and instead, give her huge benefits.”
“I promise you!”
When Mu Qingping heard it, she immediately nodded in agreement.
In her heart, her daughter was the biggest and the most important thing of all. As long as her daughter was safe and healthy, she would absolutely agree to everything.
Tang Xiu smiled, “To tell you the truth, I really admire you. I can see a great admirable, motherly love from you. In fact, I was also brought up from a single parent family, interdependent with my mother. Please feel relieved and trust me! You will be gladdened for today’s decision in the future.”
Mu Qingping then replied with a doubt, “Then, shouldn’t a ceremony of apprenticeship be held?”
Tang Xiu said, “The ceremony of apprenticeship is simple, kowtowing and serving tea is enough.”
With that, he looked at Gu Yin and asked with a smile, “Are you willing to worship me as your Master? And follow my practices of the immortal cultivation technique? I should make it clear that if you worship me as your Master, you will be Tang Xiu’s personal disciple. The immortal cultivation path is very long and would take hundreds of years. Along with the advancement in cultivation practice and your cultivation base becoming more powerful, you could live at least 1,000 years and even for millions of years. And in taking the cultivation path, you will encounter innumerable hardships.”
Gu Yin exclaimed with astonishment, “People who practice the immortal cultivation path can live so long?”
Tang Xiu said with smile, “Yes, of course. As long as they don’t die halfway, living for millions of years is also possible.”
Gu Yin then asked again, “Can my mother practice immortal cultivation?”
Tang Xiu looked at Mu Qingping’s eyes as he nodded and said, “Naturally she also can practice. However, her age has passed the best time for cultivation practice, so her future achievement won’t be too high. Even if I give my assistance, at best, she would only be able to ascend to the Immortal World and become only an ordinary immortal.”
Gu Yin nodded repeatedly and then knelt in front of Tang Xiu. She respectfully knocked her head three times and then took a cup of tea on the coffee table, without dropping a drop of tea she then exclaimed, “Master, please drink my tea.”
Tang Xiu looked at the tea with satisfaction and drank it down.
He received Gu Yin as a disciple to nurture her as a personal disciple, and not an unofficial disciple. It was because of her Sacred Body of Twin Pulse Ice Phoenix. After all, if she was to be nurtured well, she would highly likely become a Great Celestial Empress in the Immortal World. Someone who would be above trillions of immortals and celestial beings.
More importantly, she would also become a formidable helper when he returned to the Immortal World.
Those number of people posed formidable strength!
This was the most fundamental truth. Previously, he did not want to accept disciples, and instead cultivated his own power and influence. However, this led to his own demise as he fell under his old friend’s betrayal, easily falling down and failing his ascension tribulation. If it were not for the destiny that his soul and consciousness returned back, perhaps his soul would have vanished just like ashes and smoke extinguished by the wind.
Mu Qingping did not even think about the matter of practicing cultivation. What she cared about was her daughter’s future. So when Tang Xiu had finished drinking tea and taken her daughter as his disciple, only then did she ask, “Divine Doctor Tang, you said you will arrange for our life in the future?”
Along the way to this villa area, Tang Xiu had thought about this problem, and he already had an idea in mind. Then, he slowly asked, “What was your previous occupation, what kind of job?”
Mu Qingping said, “I was an administrator for a foreign enterprise.”
Tang Xiu said, “If I want you to be my housekeeper, would you accept it?”
A housekeeper?
Mu Qingping was stunned. She didn’t expect that Tang Xiu would arrange such an assignment for her. After sobering up, she said with a wry smile, “I don’t know much about housekeeping.”
Tang Xiu said, “You have two options. First, I’ll send you abroad to learn and study about it from a Butler Training Organization. And second, I’ll hire specialists and professionals for you to carry out your training separately. Which one do you intend to choose?”
Mu Qingping looked at her daughter and replied with a low voice, “Can I choose the second? I want to be near Yinyin, and going abroad is not convenient.”
“No problem!”
Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone and dialed Miao Wentang’s number. He asked his help to hire two professional housekeeper instructors from abroad. After asking about the fee, he found that the price was not cheap as it would take 3 million yuan for 2 months of training.
After having called, Tang Xiu said, “I’ve contacted my connections, they should be coming over in a short time. And one other thing, I’m not from Jingmen Island, so you will follow me to live in Star City. We’ll rest here for a night and then we’ll return to Star City tomorrow.”
Mu Qingping nodded and said, “I’ll listen to your orders.”
Tang Xiu then exhorted her, “You must study hard in your butlership training. When you have finished your training, I hope you can live with Yinyin on the Pacific Ocean. I have bought a private island there. Its size is more than 10 square kilometers. So I’ll have to hire a large number of workers and servants there.”
