C122 (1/2)

If Dan Xuanzi really did take Zheng Yan as his disciple, then if word of this got out, it would probably cause those noble sons of heaven in the imperial city to collapse!

After all, which of the favored geniuses in the capital didn't want to become his disciple?

However, Dan Xuanzi had rejected all of them.

Now that Dan Xuanzi had accepted an ordinary disciple in front of him, it was undoubtedly the same as slapping the faces of those favored by the heavens in the capital, making those noble geniuses lose all face.

”Vice Dean Dan, this fellow's aptitude is mediocre, why do you …”

Lu Xueyao wanted to say something but hesitated and asked curiously.

”From now on, he is your junior brother. His name is Zheng Yan, not 'that guy'.”

Dan Xuanzi glanced at Lu Xueyao and lightly said.

”Fatty, hurry up and acknowledge me as your teacher!”

Su Ling hurriedly walked forward and patted Zheng Yan's shoulder heavily as a reminder.

Zheng Yan didn't even have the time to react before his knees made a 'putong' sound and he kneeled on the ground.

”Master!”

Tears welled up in Zheng Yan's eyes. He kowtowed two times towards Dan Xuanzi and shouted, ”Master, please accept this disciple's respect.”

”Alright, alright. Zheng Yan, you'll follow me back to the academy today.”

Dan Xuanzi nodded his head in a gratified manner and said with a smile.

”Yes, Master.”

He had always felt that being able to enter the Alchemy Academy was already a dream. He never dared to think that he could become the student of the vice principal of the academy, even if it was under an elder.

After all, the position of the Vice Dean of the Alchemy Martial Academy was extremely prestigious! How could a commoner like him have access to such a thing?

If it wasn't for Su Ling, perhaps he, Zheng Yan, would have truly stayed in Qingyang City for the rest of his life. He would have never been able to become a timid commoner. It was Su Ling who had helped him, changing the trajectory of his life.

His eyes were filled with tears as he said with tears streaming down his face, ”Su Ling, thank you, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would never have been able to leave Qingyang City and step onto the path of the pill.”

”Fatty, you don't have to thank me. This is what you deserve.”

Su Ling smiled and said.

Su Ling clearly knew in his heart that Zheng Yan did indeed have some talent in the Dao of alchemy. However, just based on Zheng Yan's talent in the Dao of alchemy, it was not enough for him to be a disciple under Dan Xuanzi.

The main reason why Dan Xuanzi was willing to accept Zheng Yan as his disciple was because of Su Ling! Or perhaps it was because the pill was clean.

Yes, Dan Xuanzi accepted Zheng Yan as his disciple. From a certain point of view, this was also Dan Xuanzi's huge favor to Su Ling.

For the sake of this favor, Su Ling had to follow Dan Xuanzi's instructions and make a trip to the Alchemy Martial Academy. He had to work hard to obtain the acknowledgement of the other two vice principals and then accept him as his disciple.

”Little friend Su Ling, I've been out for a few days. It's time for me to return to the academy.” Zheng Yan will follow me back to the academy. ”

Dan Xuanzi chuckled as he stared at Su Ling. Then, he continued, ”I wonder, when does little friend Su Ling plan to head towards the Alchemy Martial Academy?”

”Before we go to the academy, I want to make a trip to the Sword King Pavilion to inform my master of this matter.”

Su Ling smiled and said, ”Dean Dan, please be at ease. I, Su Ling, will do as I say.”
