Chapter 6080: Unexpected Surprise

The medicine was soon completed. It looked humble, but many treasures and mystical herbs were consumed in its broiling.

Jia Lingyi’s eyes turned glazed after consuming the medicine, and she fell into a daze. Moments later, her eyes regained their clarity, but she became extremely distraught and nervous.

She lay on the ground in a weakened state.

“M-men... Men!” Jia Lingyi lay immobile on the ground. Even her voice sounded feeble.

Soon, her expression warped in horror and fear.

“W-who did it?” she howled in anger despite her weakened state.

Chu Feng and the others didn’t say a word.

They figured that Jia Lingyi might have returned to the moment when she escaped from the Totem Dragon Clan back to the Pill Dao Immortal Sect, only to witness the Pill Dao Immortal Sect’s destruction.

The subsequent words shocked everyone. In particular, Chu Feng’s breathing hastened.

“Y-you are alive? Song Luoyi, you are alive!”

Jia Lingyi’s words proved that the culprit behind the Pill Dao Immortal Sect’s destruction was Chu Feng’s grandmother. She proceeded to re-enact her interaction with Song Luoyi till she descended into madness and became incoherent.

But by then, Chu Feng had already gotten the answer he wanted.

“This is wonderful. Your grandmother is still alive!” Bai Yunqing looked even more excited than Chu Feng.

“It looks like young friend Chu Feng’s grandmother is an extraordinary person,” Ouyang Kongyu remarked.

“Elder, can you keep this matter a secret?” Chu Feng asked.

“Of course. I wouldn’t have divulged it to anyone even if you hadn’t said a word,” Ouyang Kongyu replied.

“Thank you, elder.” Chu Feng sincerely bowed to Ouyang Kongyu to thank the latter.

He was hoping to find his grandmother’s whereabouts through Jia Lingyi, but judging from the latter’s reaction, it was unlikely for her to have any clues on that. Even so, this proved that his grandmother was strong enough to protect herself even if she wasn’t in the right state of mind. This news was extremely important to Chu Feng.

“Young friend Chu Feng, there’s no need for words of gratitude. If you feel that I have done you a favor, why don’t you help me with something?” Ouyang Kongyu said with a smile.

“Feel free to speak, elder,” Chu Feng replied.

“My means may be peculiar, but I still hope to find a successor to pass down my legacy to. Unfortunately, few people are talented in this field. Young friend Chu Feng’s talent is unlike anything I have ever seen, but I don’t think you would want to be my disciple, right?” Ouyang Kongyu asked with a smile.

“Ah...”

Chu Feng was surprised to learn that Ouyang Kongyu was interested in taking him as his disciple. He had taken several masters before, and those masters, aside from the Ox-nosed Old Daoist, were all weaker than Ouyang Kongyu.

That being said, he wouldn’t just take anyone to be his master. Time, place, and occasion were important in deciding that, and he had no intention of taking on another master at the moment.

“Hahaha!” Ouyang Kongyu burst into laughter. “I expected as much. I know that someone of my caliber is not suited to be young friend Chu Feng’s master too, so I never thought of taking you as my disciple. Instead, I want to take Bai Yunqing as my disciple.”

“Elder, you wish to take Brother Bai as your disciple?” Chu Feng’s eyes widened in delight.

He knew Bai Yunqing’s background better than anyone else. He had been exploited by his master, Taishi Xingzhong, from a young age and suffered a lot as a result.

Ouyang Kongyu was a lofty figure whom even the Totem Dragon Clan and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion were unable to mobilize. His standing and strength were far superior to that of Taishi Xingzhong.

It would be excellent news if Bai Yunqing became Ouyang Kongyu’s disciple.

Even Tian Ming was only Ouyang Kongyu’s lackey, not his disciple.

Bai Yunqing would become Ouyang Kongyu’s only disciple if he accepted the offer, allowing him to inherit the latter’s legacy.

“Help me convince young friend Bai Yunqing to become my disciple,” Ouyang Kongyu said with hopeful eyes.

Chu Feng was surprised to hear that.

It sounded like Ouyang Kongyu had previously relayed his interest in taking Bai Yunqing in as his disciple, but the latter turned him down. That was why Ouyang Kongyu wanted Chu Feng to put in a good word for him.

So, Chu Feng turned to Bai Yunqing and asked via voice transmission, “Brother Bai, do you not want to become Elder Ouyang’s disciple?”

“Big brother Chu Feng, how can I be worthy of being Elder Ouyang’s disciple? I only want to follow you wherever you go now,” Bai Yunqing replied via voice transmission.

“I know that you want to brave through thick and thin with me, but that’s not the only way to go about it. Elder Ouyang is a person with exceptional means. We were helpless before Jia Lingyi’s condition, and it was only thanks to Elder Ouyang’s means that we restored her consciousness. There will be great use for his means if you inherit his legacy.

“A day might come when we need such means. For instance, if I ever receive a severe injury that ordinary means fail to heal, you might just be able to save me if you inherit Elder Ouyang’s legacy,” Chu Feng replied.

Bai Yunqing had previously thought that it would be disloyal to abandon Chu Feng when the latter was in a precarious position, but the latter’s words made sense to him too. Ultimately, he hoped to be able to help Chu Feng in his endeavors.

So, he kneeled before Ouyang Kongyu and said, “Elder, please pardon my earlier ignorance and grant me a second chance.”

“Elder, Brother Bai turned you down earlier because he was worried about my predicament and wishes to help me, but he also understands that it’s his fortune to be your disciple,” Chu Feng also spoke up to explain Bai Yunqing’s earlier rejection.

“Ah...” Ouyang Kongyu turned to Bai Yunqing and smiled. “I thought that you were going to reject me again when you called me elder. That’s a relief.”

He stepped forward to pull Bai Yunqing up to his feet. “However, you shouldn’t be calling me elder from this day onward.”

“Master!” Bai Yunqing immediately changed the way he addressed Ouyang Kongyu.

Ouyang Kongyu revealed a rare smile.

He had been wanting to take in a closed-door disciple, but it wasn’t easy to find someone who fit his criteria. Meeting Bai Yunqing was a surprise for him.
