25 Gif (2/2)
While the Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique appeared to be commonplace, only those who had undergone many trials were qualified to train within the sects.
Fang Yuan hesitated for a while. He made no attempt to take the manual and instead, glanced at Zhou Tong: ”Those who present gifts have things to request, what is your request?”
Zhou Tong was momentarily embarrassed. He said, ”I owe you a big favour, and will willingly climb a mountain of blades or cross a sea of flames without batting an eyelid. The manual is nothing compared it. It is just that the world is cruel and deceitful and as such, I can only be shameless and make a request...”
He asked heavily, ”What do you think of my youngest daughter, Wenxin?”
”Hmm...”
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes as he thought that Zhou Tong was offering his daughter as a way to entice him.
”Very energetic...”
He was speechless for a while before he came to a revelation.
”That's good!”
Zhou Tong relaxed his tone, ”Truth to be told, my youngest daughter is very stubborn and I am unable to discipline her. Why not you accept my youngest daughter as a disciple?”
”No way!”
Fang Yuan immediately shook his head, ”How is that possible? To be the master of your beloved daughter? It would be better to find someone else.”
He did not want to put up with a troublemaker. At the same time, he admired Zhou Tong's cheek to make such a request. He was indeed unparalleled.
Furthermore, Wenxin might just be older than him.
”Will you not consider it?”
Zhou Tong was slightly disappointed.
Having Fang Yuan as the master of his child was his brainchild after a long night of thinking.
This was a plan with many benefits. Firstly, he would be able to entice such a mysterious and ”abled” person. Secondly, his daughter would be protected. Furthermore, regardless of Fang Yuan's martial art ability or other skills, as long as he was able to learn medicine from Fang Yuan, he would be very much settled in his pursuit.
No matter how much he planned and calculated, he was unable to calculate that his daughter and Fang Yuan had crossed path before.
”I never had any thoughts of having a disciple before. I think it is better for you to take back the gift!”
Fang Yuan pushed the manual away from him.
Even though she would look pretty after dressing up and she had no choice but to follow his orders as she was the disciple, he did not want the lady to cause trouble by his side.
”Sigh, my daughter is indeed unfortunate! However, please keep this manual. If not, I would really be shameless... …”
Zhou Tong let out a long sigh.
”In any case, thank you very much...”
Fang Yuan was interested in the manual. Furthermore, he had saved the life of Zhou Tong. It was only right that he received the gift. As such, under Zhou Tong's insistence, he accepted the manual.
However, never could he had imagined that Zhou Tong had little morals!
Zhou Tong smiled and looked at the surroundings after Fang Yuan accepted the manual, ”You live alone in the deep mountain with no one around. Let me present you a servant to take care of you!”
”That will not be necessary?”
Fang Yuan rejected. He had too many secrets which might be leaked out quickly should there be another person in the deep valley with him.
He should protect the secrets that need to be kept while he still had the power to guard those secrets.
”It is settled!”
Zhou Tong waved his hand and said, ”This is all according to your uncle's wishes. Don't worry, I have disciplined the servant. It is okay to scold or even hit her!”
He immediately stood up and walked out of the valet as if he was afraid that Fang Yuan would reject his arrangement.
Fang Yuan realised that there was a large group of people waiting outside. They appeared to be ready to move anytime.
”I will now take my leave!”
Zhou Tong saluted respectfully. Majority of the Zhou Family followed Zhou Tong and left.
”Sigh…. Virtuous nephew...”
Lin Benchu was the last to leave. He looked at Fang Yuan with regret and said, ”Other than Leiyue, I have a few daughters… what a shame…”
”What happened?”
Fang Yuan was confused. He soon realized that a delicate figure was left behind after most of the people had left.
”Miss Zhou?”
He looked over and saw Zhou Wenxin with red puffy eyes as if she had just cried. She appeared to be full of grievance.
”What's wrong?”
Zhou Wenxin looked as if she was ready to cry. She curtsied, ”I…. I have met you before!”
”What!”
Fang Yuan was shocked as he realized Zhou Tong's plan. He understood the reason behind why Lin Yuanwai gave him such as look before leaving.
Zhou Tong did not manage to entice Fang Yuan to make Wenxin his disciple. As such, he forced Wenxin onto Fang Yuan by giving her to Fang Yuan as a servant.
”What the!”
Looking at Wenxin who was full of grief, Fang Yuan struggled as he did not know what to do.
